| 词源 | If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. This self-explanatory expression, popularized by the movie Bambi, has been in use for at least a century and a half in the U.S. It’s good advice as a general rule, but you wouldn’t want to apply it to someone like Hitler, Stalin, or Mussolini, who people said made the trains run on time. |
