a fly in the ointment美中不足

该词组指美中不足。如:

We had a great holiday. The only fly in the ointment was that Robert had a bad cold for the first few days.

我们的假期很棒。唯一美中不足的是罗伯特在头几天患了重感冒。

这一表达出自“钦定版”《圣经》中《传道书》(Ecclesiastes )第10章第1节:

“Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour.”

“死苍蝇使作香的膏油发出臭气。”
