词组 have feet of clay
释义

have feet of clay have a fatal flaw in a character that is otherwise powerful or admirable.

☞ This expression alludes to the biblical account of a magnificent statue seen in a dream by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. It was constructed from fine metals, all except for its feet which were made of clay; when these were smashed, the whole statue was brought down and destroyed. Daniel interprets this to signify a future kingdom that will be 'partly strong, and partly broken', and will eventually fall (Daniel 2:31–5).
