Question

parable n.寓言；比喻 (1) 寓言告诫我们不要相信陌生人。(2) 她从这则寓言中得到了启示。(3) 耶稣用灯做为第十一个比喻。(4) 这个比喻说明了兴趣与知识的关系。 Parable descends from the Greek parabolē "a comparison, analogy," from paraballein "to compare," from the prefix para- "beside" plus ballein "to throw." The sense of comparing, or throwing an idea beside another, is at the heart of the word. When you hear a parable, you're meant to use the comparison to learn how to act––the fox's "sour grapes" are compared to your own downgrading of the thing you cannot have.
