“饮水思源”,字面意思是“喝水的时候,要想到水是从哪里来的(When drinking water, one should not forget its source)”。
出自南北朝时期诗人庾信的《徵调曲》,“落其实者思其树,饮其流者怀其源(When eating fruits, one should think of the fruit trees; when drinking water, one should think of the source of the river.)”。
庾信被迫在北朝客居二十多年,他常常思念故土,写文章说自己喝到河里的水就想到水的源头,以此抒发对于南朝的情怀。后世将原文写为“饮流怀源”或“饮水思源”,比喻不忘本、知感恩(one should never forget his origin and always be grateful)。可以翻译为“gratitude for the source of benefit;never forget where one's happiness comes from”。
例句:
他是一个懂得饮水思源的人。
He never forgets his origin and always remembers the past kindness that he received.
