 俗语有云:是骡子是马,拉出来溜溜。这句话告戒我们,就算有人口若悬河,跟你吹得天花乱坠,我们还是要擦亮双眼,看看他有没有真本事。英语中也有个类似的俗语,叫“the proof of thepudding is in the eating”。


这句话源自17世纪,而且在英国出现的频率比美国大。这也许是因为英国人比较喜欢吃布丁的缘故。它的字面意思是“布丁味道怎么样,吃了才知道”,引申一下就是“事实胜于雄辩”、“眼见为实”。
后来,也许是人们变懒了,这句话又演变出了更简短的说法,如“the proof is in the pudding”和“proof of the pudding”。
看下面例句:
I've read the proposal and it looks promising 1, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. (我看了提议书,觉得不错,但是要实践了才知道到底怎么样。)

adj.有希望的,有前途的
  • The results of the experiments are very promising.实验的结果充满了希望。
  • We're trying to bring along one or two promising young swimmers.我们正设法培养出一两名有前途的年轻游泳选手。
