  bite the hand that feeds one
  1. 解词释义
  Bite the hand that feeds someone的字面意思是“去咬给自己喂食人的手”,比喻为“忘恩负义”或“恩将仇报”等意思。在习语词典中解释如下:To treat someone badly who has helped you in some way, often someone who has provided you with money/ To repay generosity 2 or kindness with ingratitude 3 and injury。
  2. 拓展例句
