Heap coals of fore upon his head 把炭火堆在他的头上;比喻受其感化。
出处《旧约·箴言》25章 (Proverbs 25:22)〔原文〕If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the LORD will reward you. 你的仇敌,若饿了就给他饭吃,若渴了就给他水喝。因为你这样行,就是把炭火堆在他的头上。耶和华也必赏赐你。
说实话,并不是很理解为什么炭火在头上能引伸出来受到感化。联系前一句,其实是以仁待人,即使是敌人也一样。但头上的炭火来比喻感化,确实有点让人摸不着头脑。至少,在中国文化中,没有类似对应的意象。
