“君子一言,驷马难追。”常见的英语表述有:
1. A word spoken is past recalling.
2. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
3. A promise once made cannot be taken back even by teams of horses.
其中,“A word spoken is past recalling.” 直接从字面意思理解,即说出去的话就无法收回。“A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.” 意思是君子的话如同契约一样可靠。“A promise once made cannot be taken back even by teams of horses.” 则形象地表达了一旦做出承诺,即使是四匹马也拉不回来。
