有其父必有其子 the apple does not fall far from the tree
the apple does not fall far from the tree 是一句英语谚语，直译是“苹果不会掉在离树很远的地方”，实际的含义是“父母是什么样，孩子也是什么样”。需要注意的是这句谚语带有贬义，和中文里“有其父必有其子”的概念一样。
A: I can’t believe Jack has been called into the principal’s office again. It’s the second time this week.真不敢相信杰克又被叫到校长办公室了。这是这周第二次被叫了。B: Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I remember his father was quite naughty when he was at school.哎呀，有其父必有其子。我还记得他爸在学校上学那会也特别调皮。
A: How come Sophie is becoming a troublesome teenager?索非亚怎么会变成这么难管的孩子了？B: As we all know, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Is she taking after you then?人们都说有其父必有其子啊，她是不是随了你了？A: Well, maybe just a little. 唉，可能是有一点吧。
