中式英語之鑑:一刀切
324. 這些人情況不同,不能採取一刀切的政策。
[誤] These people are in different situations, so we cannot adopt the policy of cutting with one knife in
dealing with them.
[正] These people are in different situations, so we cannot adopt the policy of cutting at one stroke in dealing
with them.
注:“一刀切”不是使用同一把刀切東西,而是比喻不顧實際情況的不同而採取相同的處理方法。stroke 在這裡指一刀切下去的動作,所以用作比喻非常形象。
