【释义】：

Surly or obnoxious drunkenness．One folklorist telts us：“There is a Talmud parable that says that Satan came one day to drink with Noah，and slew a lamb，a lion，a pig，and an ape，to teach Noah that man before wine is in him is a lamb，when he drinks moderately he is a lion，when like a sot he is a swine，but after that any further excess makes him an ape that senselessly chatters and jabbers．”

意为“醉得令人讨厌可憎的”。一位民间传说研究者告诉我们：“犹太教法典《塔木德经》中有个寓言，说魔鬼撒旦有一天与诺亚喝酒，杀了一只羊羔、一头狮子、一头猪和一只猿猴，教导诺亚说，人在酒入肚前是羊羔，喝得适量的时候是狮子，像醉鬼时是头猪，但这之后再喝下去，人就成为猿猴，唠唠叨叨，喋喋不休，胡话连篇。
