He who would search for pearls must dive below

He who would search for pearls must dive below.

不入虎穴,焉得虎子 。

戏剧作家约翰-德莱顿(John Drydon)的名言,字面的意思是,谁要寻找珍珠必要深入水下(欲采珍珠需潜深水)。与中文中的表达“不入虎穴,焉得虎子”有一些相似的意思:想要得到别人得不到的东西,就要敢于进入别人不敢进入的领域。

   一个相似的用从句表达的句子:He who would climb the ladder must begin at the bottom. 爬梯必须从底层开始,或者用中文中现成的那句话,千里之行始于足下。
