英语词汇one picture is worth a thousand words的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

one picture is worth a thousand words. The Chinese prov- erb that inspired this cliché goes to greater extremes: “One pic- ture is worth more than 10,000 words.” Pictures certainly aren’t always, or mostly, 10,000 or a thousand times more versatile than words. “If you’re not convinced,” author William Childress wrote, “fall in a lake and start gulping water—and then, instead of screaming the word HELP, hold up a picture of yourself drowning. If someone pulls you out, I lose my argument.”
