10. “He threw the baby out with the bathwater.”
他把婴儿连同洗澡水一起倒掉了。
“That asshole! I’ll kill him!!”
这个混蛋!我要杀了他!
To throw the baby out with the bathwater is when something good is eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad. In other words, don’t get rid of everything and start over, you can still preserve the good parts.
To throw the baby out with the bathwater表示为了摆脱某些坏事的同时把好事也弄走了。换句话说,不要试图摆脱所有事,重新开始,你至少还可以留住好的部分。
