どのような意味でしょうか
I am engaged to be married to a wonderful man. We had a bit of a rocky start with his lying to me about a past escapade he had before we met. He was embarrassed about it and lied, but I found out anyway. Since then, he’s been wonderfully open and honest and we even exchanged email and Facebook passwords as a way to set a general policy of openness in our relationship. Well, curiosity was killing this cat and, though nothing particular prompted it, I looked at his emails and saw some old ones from before we met between him and his ex-girlfriend.
curiosity was killing this catはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします
お礼
改めてreaders'＋＋の長い記述を我慢してまじめに調べたら 近い意味では口語で「うっとりさせる」が有りました。 これですね、さっそくありがとう。 しかしこの型の職業たる技術翻訳は 私も以前特許明細書英訳でやっておりましたが、 こんな文芸表現も作る方とは、両刀遣いが素晴らしい。
