"Curiosity killed the cat" = con mèo chết vì tò mò -> nghĩa là tò mò có thể khiến bạn vướng vào rắc rối, thường được dùng để cảnh báo ai đừng nên soi mói vào chuyện người khác.

Ví dụ
“It could even have been a case of ‘curiosity killed the cat,’ if I had taken the simple act of walking over to see what was going on while they were spreading (truyền tải). It’s a good thing I know better, but others may not.,” Pethke said in his complaint (lời phàn nàn) to the MECP.

The hospital, since then, went on to become the most sinister (nham hiểm) building in the area : abandoned (bỏ hoang) and left to rot (đổ nát), the place became a dreadful (ghê rợn) area. Many people attempted to get inside and debunk the accounts suggesting that it would be a ghosts’ sanctuary (địa bàn của ma), but curiosity killed the cat, eh ?

They say curiosity killed the cat but a British Shorthair is lucky to be alive after falling 18 storeys from a Melbourne apartment (căn hộ) building. Charlie fell from a Southbank complex last week and landed on a roof, according to a GoFundMe page. The cat’s owner Amy Thompson wrote he survived but is now sporting a broken jaw (hàm) and a fractured foot (gãy chân). Charlie is currently being fed through a feeding tube and has a cone around his neck.
