想戴这顶帽子,就必须承受这顶帽子的重量,也比喻想做这项工作,就必须承担这项工作的责任。
读音:欲戴王冠[yù dài wáng guàn],必承其重[bì chéng qí zhòng]
出处:来自国外,出自较早的西方谚语。
原话:欲达高峰,必忍其痛;欲予动容,必入其中;欲安思命,必避其凶;欲情难纵,必舍其空;欲心若怡,必展其宏;欲想成功,必有其梦;欲戴王冠,必承其重.
补充:莎士比亚的《亨利四世》中也有与此类似的英文文段:
Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy reposeTo the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude,And in the calmest and most stillest night,With all appliances and means to boot,Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down!Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
