妒妇的长舌比疯狗的牙齿更毒。

莎士比亚《错误的喜剧》：

The venom clamors of a jealous woman Poisons more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.

妒妇的长舌比疯狗的牙齿更毒。

原文：

And thereof came it that the man was mad.The venom clamors of a jealous woman Poisons more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.It seems his sleeps were hinder’d by thy railing,And therefore comes it that his head is light.Thou sayst his meat was sauced with thy upbraidings.Unquiet meals make ill digestions.Thereof the raging fire of fever bred,And what’s a fever but a fit of madness?

所以他才疯了。妒妇的长舌比疯狗的牙齿更毒。他因为听了你的詈骂而失眠，所以他的头脑才会发昏。你说你在吃饭的时候，也要让他饱听你的教训，所以害得他消化不良，郁积成病。这种病发作起来，和疯狂有什么两样呢？
