無毒不丈夫wú dú bù zhàng fūa stout fellow must have venom in him; he who lacks gall (/who is not thoroughly ruthless) is no real man
? 誠然“～”，形諸筆墨，卻還不過是小毒，最高的輕蔑是無言，而且連眼珠也不轉(zhuǎn)過去。(魯迅《且介亭雜文末編·半夏小集（八）》109) True，“a stout fellow must have venom in him. ”But when this can be put down in writing it is mild venom merely. The highest contempt is wordless,without even a flicker of the eye.
? 老，老兄說得對，無～嘛！ 哈哈哈哈！ (石文駒《戰(zhàn)地紅纓》201) Th-that’s right,brother. As the saying goes: He who lacks gall is no real man. Ha-ha-ha.

? 匪營長嘿嘿地奸笑了一聲，說： “真是～，老兄是不是想……” (石文駒《戰(zhàn)地紅纓》245) “So that’s what you call ‘who is not thoroughly ruthless is no real man，” the commander smirked. 無毒不丈夫wu du bu zhang fu【舊語】ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man |
