圣经经文

“His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” “他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净他的场,把麦子收在仓里;把糠用不灭的火烧尽了。” (马太福音3:12)

意思

Separate the wheat from the chaff的意思是把高端的东西与低劣的分开。

来源及应用

糠(chaff)是农夫簸箕后剩下的残余物,是没有价值的东西。在圣经里,糠被喻作假教义。Separate the wheat from the chaff意旨把真理从错误的教义分别出来。 糠的另一含义是不值一钱的东西。

例句

Every year we pick our suppliers at the trade fair so that we can separate the wheat from the chaff. 我们须到交易会选择供应商,届时它们的品质便会高下立见。
