后悔药
Medicine for regret
【注音】hòu huǐ yào
【解释】后悔药就是治疗后悔的药，那种药一定不是滋味，而且或者根本就没有这种药。难怪人们又说：“后悔药哪儿买去呀？”方子就是别做让自己后悔的事。
This medicine must taste awful if it’s really in existence. No wonder people would say “There’s nowhere to buy medicine for regret.” So the only recipe is never to do anything you may regret one day. |
