「有其父必有其子」,漢語成語,字面意思是「有什麼樣的父親就會有什麼樣的兒子」,表示「孩子的行為舉止通常與父母相似(a child usually behaves in a similar way to his or her parent(s))」,含有貶義。
與英文諺語「like father, like son」意思相近,表示「a son's character or behaviour can be expected to resemble that of his father」。
例句:
小吉姆原來和他爸爸一樣懶,真是有其父必有其子。Young Jim is turning out to be as lazy as his dad — like father, like son.
吉爾:喬治的父親總是抽菸,而現在喬治也吸菸。Jill: George's father smoked all the time, and now George is smoking too.
簡:有其父必有其子吧。Jane: Like father, like son, eh?
