Retribution for enough Crimes will Come in Fullness of Time(成语 恶贯满盈 英文)


There was a man who found his next-door neighbour criminally outrageous, and so wished to sell his house and leave the place. Then someone said to him,"You might as well wait. He has done enough evils, and one more will mean the end of him. It takes the thousandth coin to make a full guan(1)."

"No. This is exactly what I have feared--he will make me his last victim," the man answered and moved away as contemplated.


______________remark______________________
(1) In ancient times, coins were strung together on a string, and one thousand cash made one full string, which was called a guan.
