【字面理解】懷疑的多馬

【英文解析】 someone who will refuse to believe something without direct, physical，or personal evidence

【中文解析】不聽勸告的人，疑心重的人

【典型例句】① The doctor had told grandfather many times that he needed an operation, but being a doubting Thomas, he refused till it was too late.醫(yī)生多次告訴祖父他需要 手術(shù)，但祖父疑心重，不肯接受，終至病逝。

② Several of the country’s most respected doctors have stated that smoking cigarettes harm one’s health, but there are still many doubting Thomases who are not yet persuaded.雖然這個國家的幾位最有名望的醫(yī)生都說 吸煙有害健康，但還是沒有說服許多頑固的懷疑者。

【注釋】Thomas是《圣經(jīng)》中的人物，耶穌的十二門徒之 一。當(dāng)耶穌復(fù)活，回去和門徒相見時，Thomas要親手觸摸耶穌身上的釘痕才肯相信主是真的復(fù)活了，所以 a doubting Thomas喻指那些疑心重、不肯輕易接受別 人意見的人。
