> 西方流传的一首民谣对此有形象的说明。这首民谣说：丢失一个钉子，坏了一只蹄铁；坏了一只蹄铁，折了一匹战马；折了一匹战马，伤了一位骑士；伤了一位骑士，输了一场战斗；输了一场战斗，亡了一个帝国。
Here is the translation:
For want of a nail the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe the horse was lost;
For want of a horse the rider was lost;
For want of a rider the battle was lost;
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost;
And all for want of a horseshoe nail.
(Note: want = lack; for want of = for the want of = due to the lack of)
This proverb can be found in Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac, a collection of maxims/proverbs on the value of work and savings.
