the salt of the earth 指品格優(yōu)秀、善良的社會中堅。
這一表達(dá)出自《欽定版圣經(jīng)》的《馬太福音》第5章第13-14節(jié)中耶穌的“登山寶訓(xùn)(the Sermon on the Mount)”:
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world.
你們是世上的鹽。鹽若失了味,怎能叫他再咸呢?以后無用,不過丟在外面,被人踐踏了。你們是世上的光。
