“green-eyed monster”出自莎士比亞的戲劇《奧賽羅》。中國人妒忌的時候會眼紅，英語國家的人卻會眼綠——所以英文green-eyed（綠眼）即“妒忌的”，green-eyed monster（綠眼怪物），即“妒忌、嫉妒”。
【例句】
The green-eyed monster made her suffer when she learnt that you had moved into a socially better neighborhood.
聽說你搬進(jìn)了社會地位較高的人居住的住宅區(qū)，她嫉妒得不得了。
He was spurred on by the green-eyed monster to work like the devil.
妒忌心驅(qū)使他拼命工作。
