輕松日記商務職場篇第239期:驚濤駭浪 方顯英雄本色
The good seaman is known in bad weather.
驚濤駭浪，方顯英雄本色。
The good seaman is known in bad weather.本義是指：“要識好水手，全憑壞氣候”，將其意義擴展一下也就是漢語里說的：“驚濤駭浪，方顯英雄本色”。因此，當美國人說"The good seaman is known in bad weather."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"A hero can only succeed when he lives through tempestuous waves."、"A man's real ability can be highlighted in a difficult situation."。
