“落井下石”,汉语成语,字面意思是“drop down a stone on the man who has fallen into a well”,比喻乘人有危难时加以陷害( to maltreat an injured person; add insult to injury; add to the misfortunes of a man who is already unfortunate),与英文俗语“ kick (one) when (one) is down”意思相近,表示“to criticize, exploit, insult, or otherwise treat badly someone who has already suffered a setback or is in a vulnerable position.”
例句:
zuì hòu wǒ jiù shì wú fǎ zuò dào zài jí mǐ dǎo méi shí luò jǐng xià shí
