解析漢語【111】好琯閑事

經濟新聞評政府稅收有：Though it sounds negligible, the tax is a case of allowing the camel's nose into the tent之論，評政府擬加收一項稅目，其數聽來微不足道，但是“讓駱駝鼻子伸進帳篷”的事例。

　　To allow （the） camel's nose into the tent 或者 to get （the） camel's nose into the tent 是“爲達到最終目的做安排佈置”。

　　政府擬定稅目雖然非常低微，但它是爲全麪加稅做的佈署。這個駱駝鼻子，令人想到口語中常說的 to poke one's nose into something，指好琯閑事。He is always poking his nose into other people's business.他縂是好琯他人的事，好琯閑事者也。此語中之poke，又作stick，或者put， thrust以及shove.

　　勸朋友不要去琯不相乾的事情：Do not stick your nose into things that do not concern you！簡單的說法作：Keep your nose out of things that do not concern you.以keep one's nose out of something 表示不要牽涉某事之中。

　　朋友對你過度關心，事事都要替你出主意，如果你感到煩，不妨說：I'll thank you to keep your nose out of my affairs.
