圣经经文

“If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “他們是瞎眼的領路人.若是瞎子領瞎子,只會一起掉進坑裡。 “(馬太福音 15:14)

意思

瞎子領著瞎子,就是說那些只知道他們負責的東西,外行指導外行人。

来源及应用

這個习语第一次是出現在丁道尔(Tyndale)的新約繙譯本。在猶太法利賽人(Pharisees)質疑耶穌沒有遵守儀式和傳統的時候,耶穌反過來說他們就像一群瞎眼的領路人 -“they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”他們是瞎眼的領路人.若是瞎子領瞎子,只會一起掉進坑裡。 (馬太福音 15:14) 這個习语自于丁道尔(Tyndale)版本面世后已經縯變成不同的形式結搆。如“無趣的人領無趣的人”(“The bland leading the bland”)和“金髮女人領金髮女人”(“The blond leading the blond”)。
