西方谚语contracts

1.关于西方谚语

Curiosity killed the cat：这话，最早是整句话出自1912年尤金·奥尼尔所写的剧本。

原因是猫喜欢用鼻子到处嗅。更因为猫有九条命，不那么容易死.可是连九条命的猫都被好奇心害死了.就别说人了而对人就是形容总爱问不应该问的问题，惹麻烦。

为什么不用狗呢？这是源于莎士比亚时代的一句谚语：care kills a cat，这里的care是说像猫一样的过度谨慎，多疑，忧心忡忡，最终让人折寿。到1909年，猫和好奇第一次联系起来在欧亨利的小说'Schools and Schools'中“Curiosity can do more things than kill a cat”。

后来被尤金·奥尼尔用上，才成了今天我们常说的这句话。
