引风吹火yǐn fēng chuī huǒhelp the wind to fan the fire/‘坐山看虎斗’，‘借刀杀人’，‘～’，‘站干岸儿’，‘推倒了油瓶儿不扶’，都是全挂子的本事； …… (《红楼梦》177)❶Talk about’sitting on a hill to watch tigers fight’，‘murdering with a borrowed sword’，‘bor rowing wind to fan the fire’，‘watching people drown from a dry bank’ and ‘not troubling to right an oil bottle that’s been knocked over’—they’re all old hands at such tricks.
❷Those old women know just how to sit on the mountain top and watch the tigers fight; how to murder with a borrowed knife,or help the wind to fan the fire. They will look on safely from the bank while you are drowning in the river. And the fallen oil-bottle can drain away; they are not goingto pick it up. |
