連歐盟代表都跳出來反馬,馬已成為世界(除他的麻吉中國外)公認的麻煩製造者。將來若進而引起歐美連手報復,整個台灣都會跟馬一起遭殃。馬的政治生命已來日無多,但台灣人民還要繼續活下去,該如何懸崖勒「馬」呢?

Be critical or suspicious of something received at no cost. For example, Dad's old car is full of dents, but we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. This term, generally expressed as a cautionary proverb (Don't look a gift horse in the mouth), has been traced to the writings of the 4th-century cleric, St. Jerome, and has appeared in English since about 1500. It alludes to determining the age of a horse by looking at its teeth.
