解释秋后算帐
◎ 秋后算帐 qiūhòu-suànzhàng
[square accounts after the autumn harvest——wait until after a political movement is over to settle accounts with the leadership or the masses] 原义是指秋收以后结清欠帐,现在常用来比喻等待时机进行报复,有贬义
我们一不抓辫子,二不打棍 子,又不搞什么秋后算帐之类的玩意。
-----------------
国语辞典原指农作物每年的收成总额，到秋天收割后才统一结算。后用以喻事情到了一个段落后，再来评断其是非曲直。如：「等大会结束之后，我们再来个秋后算帐！」也作「秋后算账」。
英语 lit. settling accounts after the autumn harvest (idiom); to wait until the time is ripe to settle accounts, to bide time for revenge
