冤各有头，债各有主冤有头，债有主yuān gè yǒu tóu , zhài gè yǒu zhǔevery wrong has its cuthor(/avenger/cause/doer/instigator) and every debt its incurrer (/debtor/creditor/lender); the culprit must pay for his wrong,the debtor for his debt
❍ 小子粗疏，还晓得 ‘～’。(《水浒全传》322) I am a rough fellow,but still I know ‘a wrong has its instigator,and a debt has its lender.’/～，大军到郡，自有对头； ……(《水浒全传》821) We say that each wrong has its avenger and every debt has its creditor,and promise that when our army enters Daming we’ll seek out only certain specific enemies.
❍ 冤有头，债有主，我自己没求过他们，要你去求求？(曹禺《日出》4幕)Every grievance has its incurrer and every debt its debtor. I didn’t go and plead with them myself,so why must you plead with them?/说得出这种无赖腔调的，未必懂得“～”的道理； 他们的行径一定是横冲直撞，乱来一阵。(叶圣陶《倪焕之》153) The ones who might speak in this ungentlemanly tone of voice would not be likely to appreciate the saying that “every wrong has its author and every debt its incurrer”； theirapproach would undoubtedly be direct and indis criminating.
❍ 不干你的事！冤有头，债有主！到后面去罢，不许乱跑！ (茅盾《子夜》118) It’s nothing to do with you. They’re the ones who’ve done wrong and they’ll have to suffer for it,not you. Now get in the back,and don’t go rushing about. |
