词汇 | love me love my dog |
词源 | love me, love my dog. What the phrase means is “if you want to love me, you’ll have to take me faults and all.” Almost 900 years ago St. Bernard (1091–1153), famous abbot of the mon- astery of Clairvaux, said this in Latin: “Qui me amat, amat et canem meum.” Despite the canine association, he is not St. Ber- nard de Menthon (923–1008), who founded the Alpine shelter now called the Hospice of the Great St. Bernard and after whom the st. bernard dog is named. |
