like father like son
的真正意思是什么呢？

简单说
也就是中文里的
“有其父必有其子”
我们来通过例句体会一下：
- Everyone always uses that old saying like father, like sonto describe my dad and me. I never understand why. The two of us could not be more different.
- Do you think so? I've seen your father, and you look the same, except for the age difference.
- 每个人都用“有其父必有其子”这句老话来形容我和爸爸。我一直不明白为什么。我们俩太不一样了。
- 你这么认为吗？我见过你父亲，除了年龄不同，你们长得一模一样。
此外，这个表达还有一个说法
like mother like daughter
意思也是一样的哦~
我们来看一个例句：
I always believe in the saying "like mother like daughter", and I know this little baby will grow up to be just as pretty and talented as her mother.
我一直相信“有其母必有其女”这句话，我知道这个小宝贝长大后会和她妈妈一样漂亮和有才华。
