無(wú)風(fēng)不起浪。
Where there's a smoke, there's fire 直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是:“哪里有煙就說(shuō)明哪里有火”,這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是:“無(wú)風(fēng)不起浪”。因此,當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"Where there's a smoke, there's fire."時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Everything happens for a reason."、"Nothing comes from nothing."、"Everything has its seed."。
