Definition

吃螃蟹

Literally means:

eat a crab

Actually means:

venture into an unknown territory

It figuratively refers to doing something no one dared to do in the past.

Crabs were not regarded edible by ancient people. The scary look of crab prevented them from eating it. But one day, a brave man ate it for the first time and found out that crab was extremely delicious.

Later, "crabeater" is used to refer adventurers who dare to try new things. Commendatory.

比喻敢于做前人不敢做的事。

很久以前螃蟹并不是一种食物,因为螃蟹的样子很吓人,所以没有人敢吃,但最终有一个勇敢的人第一次吃了螃蟹,发现了这种难得的美味。

后来人们常用“吃螃蟹的人”来比喻敢于尝试新事物的勇敢者。具有褒义色彩。
