关于fool
Fool: one who counterfeits folly; a professional jester or buffoon in dramas (我们常见的fool即“傻瓜”,但如果读莎士比亚的戏剧如King Lear《李尔王》,你会发现国王身旁常常有一个"Fool"。这时可要记住哦,Fool在这里可不是傻子而是绝顶聪明的“宫廷小丑”,他拿自身的滑稽或外显的愚蠢和疯癫作为护身符,说出一般人不敢或不愿说出来的真话。)
play the fool/act the foll : to act like the idiot or foolishly(胡闹,办傻事)
fool around : to spend time doing nothing useful (虚度光阴,游手好闲)
Fool's haste is no spead : 欲速则不达
make an April fool of sb : 把某人当作愚人节恶作剧的对象
fool's erand : a fruitless mission or undertaking (徒劳无用的工作)
