  • 1 a little knowledge is a dangerous thing

    посл.
    ≈ малые знания вредны [выражение a little learning is a dangerous thing создано А. Попом в ‘Essay on Criticizm’:
    A little learning is a dang'rous thing;
    Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring;
    And drinking largely sobers us again]

    ‘I'm afraid I've much less knowledge than you have,’ he answered, affecting humility. ‘Well, don't forget that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.’ (Kenk) — - Боюсь, что вы куда более образованны, чем я, - ответил он из ложной скромности. - В таком случае не забывайте, что недостаток образованности - вещь опасная.
