◎莠:狗尾草,比喻品质坏的人。比喻好人坏人混在一起。
例无如众生愚贤不等,也就如五谷良莠不齐。 —— 清 · 文康《儿女英雄传》
英grain or chaff; the good and the bad are intermingled; sheep and goats; there are bad as well as good people in the group; there are weeds among seedlings; thread and thrum;
◎好坏参差,素质不一。也作“良莠淆杂”。
引《官场现形记 · 第五六回》:“彼时捐例大开,各省候补人员十分拥挤,其中鱼龙混杂,良莠不齐。”
