词汇 time heals all wounds
词源
time heals all wounds; time wounds all heels. “Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity,” the Greek physician Hippocrates (460 b.c.–377 b.c.) wrote in his Precepts. This is the first suggestion of the common saying time heals all wounds. The clever twist on the words time wounds all heels is attributed to Frank Case (1870–1946), the owner of New York City’s Algonquin Hotel, where the famed Round Table of wits (Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, etc.) held sway in the 1920s. Apparently some of the wit rubbed off on Case. See hippocratic oath.
