西諺有：A kindly aver will never make a good horse.
其中kindly 相當(dāng)于natural, aver是work horse.此諺說：天生拉車的馬絕對成不了駿馬。一個人資質(zhì)欠佳，可用此諺說：He is a kindly aver，或者：He will never make a good horse .但是天生好馬也需善加訓(xùn)練（馴服，breaking），正是另一句諺語所說的：The best horse needs breaking and the aptest child needs teaching.的馬要馴服，最聰明的孩子要教導(dǎo)。人和馬一樣，要好好教導(dǎo)。我們常以白馬為駿馬，可是西洋迷信認為馬四腳全白者不祥且無能，故有：A four white-foot horse is a horse for a fool, a three white-foot horse is a horse for a king, and if he has but one I'll give him to none.四腳全白的馬給蠢人，三腳白者是帝王之馬，一腳白的是寶貝，絕不送人。我們稱易受人利用的老實人為：A willing horse, 正是諺語說的：All lay loads on a willing horse.愿意幫助人的老實人，大家都把事情推給他去做，讓他一個人去負擔(dān)，去work like a horse.
