大难临头的时候,如果你没有诸葛亮的气定神闲,就赶快去着手解决问题吧!千万不敢“to fiddle while Rome burns”(事情都火烧眉头了,还抓些无关痛痒的细枝末节)。 “To fiddle while Rome burns”最早可追溯到古罗马时代。那时罗马暴君尼罗曾经纵火焚城,并且一边观火一边拉小提琴,所以这个片语后常用来形容某些官员不体恤百姓疾苦、对大事(棘手事)漠不关心,看例句:
The local government fiddled while Rome burned, doing nothing about crime, poverty and pollution. (地方政府不解决犯罪、贫困和污染这等大事,却在无关痛痒的细节上瞎忙。)
日常生活中,你也可用“to fiddle while Rome burns”来形容伙伴对火烧眉头的大事置之不理,却在小节上费时费工,再看个例句:
The account was falling through, but he was more worried about missing his golf game--talk about fiddling while Rome burns! (他真是不分轻重!眼看要破产了,他还在瞎谈着为输高尔夫球而难过。)
