究竟係「一石二鳥」定還是　．．．

你的意思是問中文的 「一石二鳥」，還是英文的 "to kill two birds with one stone" 係這成語的本來出處 ?

我 GOOGLE 過中文和英文的這句成語，中文便找不到出處，英文便找到，可見英文是原文，我還發現日文也有這句呢，和中文的一模一樣。


詞目 一石二鳥 拼音 yi shíh èr niǎo 釋義 扔一顆石子打到兩隻鳥。比喻做一件事情得到兩樣好處。 出處

其他中文成語都列明出處，惟獨是這句沒有。

日文也有這句呢.

一石二鳥(いっせきにちょう, isseki ni chō). kill two birds with one stone; do one task and finish two or more goals; (lit. one stone two birds) ... Retrieved from "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B8%80%E7%9F%B3%E4%BA%8C%E9%B3%A5" ...

但英文的卻有出處：


KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE - "Achieve two objectives with a single effort. It would be remarkable indeed if someone slinging a stone at a bird got one bird, let alone two. Ovid had a similar expression in L*tin nearly 2,000 years ago. Related phrases were in English and French literature by the 16th century. Thomas Hobbes used the modern version in a work on liberty in 1656: 'T. H. thinks to kill two birds with one stone, and satisfy two arguments with one answer.'" "Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Wings Books, Originally New York: Facts on File Publications, 1985).
from phrases.org.uk

2000 年前拉丁文已有，現代版則見於 1656。
