很多短语按照单词意思翻译很顺溜，但实际意思大相径庭，比如like father like son，很多人就翻译成了“像父亲又像儿子”，这显然不通顺，真正意思是什么呢？
我们一起来看一下解释：
The phrase like father, like son means that children often appear and act just like their parents.Like father, like son的意思是，孩子们常常和他们的父母有相似的行为举止。 简单说也就是中文里的“有其父必有其子”。
我们来通过例句体会一下： - Everyone always uses that old saying like father, like son to describe my dad and me. I never understand why. The two of us could not be more different.- Do you think so? I've seen your father, and you look the same, except for the age difference.- 每个人都用“有其父必有其子”这句老话来形容我和爸爸。我一直不明白为什么。我们俩太不一样了。- 你这么认为吗？我见过你父亲，除了年龄不同，你们长得一模一样。
此外，这个表达还有一个说法like mother like daughter，意思也是一样的。我们来看一个例句： I always believe in the saying "like mother like daughter", and I know this little baby will grow up to be just as pretty and talented as her mother. 我一直相信“有其母必有其女”这句话，我知道这个小宝贝长大后会和她妈妈一样漂亮和有才华。
