谚语May you live in interesting times的中文原句怎讲?
出处:Before I left England for China in 1936 a friend told me that there exists a Chinese curse — "May you live in interesting times".If so,our generation has certainly witnessed that curse's fulfilment.
— Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen,Diplomat in Peace and War,1949
= a curse= 祝愿你生为乱世人
古代俗话有这种文骂的吗,Many thanks.

Answer 1

宁为太平狗,不做乱世人
没办法--这句话最早就是从中国古代俗话这样翻译出来的
但是现在居然会变成祝词~
出自：Robert F Kennedy翻译的：明·冯梦龙《醒世恒言》第三卷：
“却说莘善领着浑家阮氏和十二岁的女儿,同一般逃难的,背着包裹,结队而走.忙忙如丧家之犬,急急如漏网之鱼.担饥担冻担劳苦,此行谁是家乡?叫天叫地叫祖宗,惟愿不逢鞑虏!正是：宁为太平犬,莫作乱离人!”
同书第十九卷：
“〔程万里〕每日间见元兵所过,残灭如秋风扫叶,心中暗暗悲痛,正是：宁为太平犬,莫作离乱人.”
