| 词汇 | it rains on the just and unjust alike |
| 词源 | it rains on the just and unjust alike; scholium. The phrase above can be traced to the biblical (Matt. 5:45): “He . . . sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust . . .” A scholium on the verse by Charles, Baron Bowen (1835–94) has it a little differently: The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella: But chiefly on the just, because The unjust steals the just’s umbrella! Scholium means “an explanatory note or comment,” deriving from the Greek for “school” and first recorded in the early 16th century. |
