絕其本根jué qí běn gēnextirpate the roots—settle once and for all
? 為國家者，見惡如農(nóng)夫之務去草焉，芟夷蘊崇之，～，勿使能殖，則善者信矣。(《左傳·隱六年》) The Head of a state or of a clan looks upon evil relations as a husbandman looks up weeds or grass,which must be removed.He cuts down,kills them,collects them,and heaps them up,extirpating their roots that they may not be able to grow; and then the good grain stretches itself out. |
