爱屋及乌
ài wū jí wū


中国自古流传一种迷信习俗，认为乌鸦是一种"不祥的鸟"，它落到谁家的房子上，谁家就要遭遇不幸。但由于爱一个人，甚至连他家屋上的乌鸦都不觉得不祥，也不感到讨厌了，这就是"爱屋及乌"这个成语的意思。
An ancient Chinese superstition states that a crow is an "unlucky bird." The family of whatever house it lands upon would suffer poor fortunes. However, if someone truly loves another, that person even loves the crow atop the house, and raises no objection. That is the meaning of the saying "爱屋及乌."


词语注释：

习俗：（xí sú） n. custom

遭遇：(zāo yù) v. to encounter

觉得：(jiào de) v. to feel;

讨厌：(tǎo yàn) v. to hate ; dislike
