Wash one’s hands of something This means one is no longer involved in something or responsible for something.In Biblical times, Pilate, who handed Jesus over to be crucified (把人钉死在十字架上), took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd saying “I’m innocent of this man’s blood, see to it yourselves.” He meant that he was not responsible for Jesus’ death. At the eleventh hour According to the ancient Jews, a day is divided into 12 hours, that is from sunrise to sunset. Thus the eleventh hour is near the last hour of the work day. In modern English, it means at the last possible moment, or just in time. A wolf in sheep’s clothing The story refers to a person who pretends to be good, but is actually bad, or it describes a person who has evil intentions but appears to be harmless. Thus, Jesus warned people of these hypocrites (伪君子) saying that “Beware of false prophets (先知), who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous (极其饥饿的) wolves.” Separate the sheep from the goats It means to divide good or useful people from bad or useless ones. According to the Bible, in the day of the judgment of the nations, all the nations will be gathered before Jesus Christ, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. The righteous will go to heaven and the sinners (罪人) will go to hell. The expressions introduced above are popular with English learners. It’s advisable to give your attention to such expressions, which will improve your understanding of western culture.
