落井下石 luò jǐng xià shí
唐朝时期，柳宗元因为犯了一些过失而被贬到柳州，他在柳州被小人进谗言，忧郁不得志地死去。他的好友韩愈替他打抱不平，为他写了一篇墓志铭，除了赞扬柳宗元的高尚品德外，还讽刺了某一类人。这篇墓志铭是这样说的：
During the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan was bad-mouthed to Liuzhou after committing a few errors in posiiton. He was slandered by enemies in Liuzhou and died melancholy. Han Yu, his friend, wrote an epitaph. Besides praising Liu's moral character, he harshly criticized others. This is his epitaph:
"有一种人，他们平日居住在陋巷里，和大家也相处得很好，好像知己一般。有时候甚至还会流着眼泪，立下誓言，跟别人说些生死与共的话，并装出很诚恳的样子。但是，一旦发生利益冲突，他们就会为了一点小事和别人翻脸。此外，在别人掉进井里——遇到困难时，他们不但不伸手救人，还会往井下丢石头——给遇到困难的人增加更大的困难。"
"There is a kind of person in the world who, when living in a slum district will get along well with others, like bosom friends. Sometimes, they even shed tears and vow to go through thick and thin together. They look sincere, but once there is a conflict relating to profit, they turn hostile. In addition, when others are suffering, they will not lend a hand, but add insult to injury by adding to their suffering. "
