| 词源 | little said is soon amended. This proverbial phrase, also least said, soonest mended, possibly derives from a rhyme Oliver Goldsmith may have written for John Newberry’s edition of Mother Goose’s Melody . . . in 1760: There was a little man, Who wooed a little maid, And he said, little Maid, will you wed, wed, wed? I have little more to say, So will you aye or nay, For the least said is soonest men-ded, ded, ded. |
