一日一成语【115】To stab someone in the back

TO STAB SOMEONE IN THE BACK意为『暗箭伤人』，此乃小人之所作为，其行为本就难以提防，若是被自己的朋友从后头捅了一刀，那就更是令人措手不及，悲愤填膺了。传说凯撒大帝(Julius Caesar)在罗马元老院里被人谋杀濒死之前，骇然发现亲信好友布鲁托斯(Brutus)竟也是叛徒之一。惊慌之中他喊出了生命中最后一句控诉："Brutus, you too!" 真是道尽了满心的凄楚与无奈。例如：

A: You look awful. Are you sick?
B: Yes, sick at heart.
A: Why? What happened?
B: I told my friend about a job I was going to apply for. He applied for it himself-and got it.
A: Too bad. But you'll find another job.
B: I don't care about the job. I'm upset because I've been stabbed in the back by a friend.
