The Dog in the Manger出自《伊索寓言》（Aesop's Fables），有一篇狗站马槽的故事，说的是一头狗躺在堆满稻草的马槽里，狗是不吃草的动物，而当马或牛一走进稻草时，这头狗却朝着马，牛狂哮，不准食草动物享用。
因此，“狗站马槽”就成了一个家喻户晓的成语而进入英语中，常用来比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it，讽刺那些占据说职位或某些物质却不做事的人。
The Dog in the Manger is a fable attributed to Aesop, concerning a dog who one afternoon lay down to sleep in the manger. On being awoken, he ferociously kept the cattle in the farm from eating the hay on which he chose to sleep, even though he was unable to eat it himself, leading an ox to mutter the moral of the fable:
People often begrudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.
The phrase is proverbial, referring to people who prevent others from having something that they themselves have no use for. A typical example is the child who discards a toy — until a sibling tries to play with it. Then the first child becomes possessive about something they no longer wanted.
A twist on the story was used by Charles Schulz in a "Peanuts" strip, in which Lucy van Pelt acquires a baseball card of Charlie Brown's favorite player, and she refuses to give it to him. After he leaves disconsolately, she decides she doesn't really like the card that well, and throws it away.
In Spanish, the story is called El Perro del Hortelano, or The Vegetable Gardener's Dog.
The metaphor is also attributed to Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas by comparing the dog with the Pharisees.
e with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it." 有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。
有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。
有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。
这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。”
这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。 The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊 WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny. 一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。
于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。
狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被。

霍光身边有个叫杨敞的人，行事谨小慎微，颇受霍光赏识，升至丞相职位，封为安平候。其实，杨敞为人懦弱无能，胆小怕事，根本不是当丞相的材料。
公元前74年，年仅廿一岁的汉昭帝驾崩于未央宫，霍光与众臣商议，选了汉武帝的孙子昌邑王刘贺作继承人。谁知刘贺继位后，经常宴饮歌舞，寻欢作乐。
霍光听说后，忧心忡忡，与车骑将军张安世、大司马田延年秘密商议，打算废掉刘贺，另立贤君。计议商定后，霍光派田延年告诉杨敞、以便共同行事。
杨敞一听，顿时吓得汗流浃背，惊恐万分，只是含含糊糊，不置可否。杨敞的妻子，是太史公司马迁的女儿，颇有胆识。
她见丈夫犹豫不决的样子，暗暗着急，趁田延年更衣走开时，上前劝丈夫说；“国家大事，岂能犹豫不决。大将军已有成议，你也应当速战速决，否则必然太难临头。”
杨敞在房里来回酸步，却拿不定注意。正巧此时田延年回来，司马夫人回避不及，索性大大方方地与田延年相见，告知田延年，她丈夫愿意听从大将军的吩咐。
田延年听了后高兴地告辞走了。田延年回报霍光，霍光十分满意，马上安排杨敞领众臣上表，奏请皇太后。
第二天，杨敞与群臣遏见皇太后，陈述昌邑王不堪继承王位的原因。太后立即下诏废去刘贺，另立汉武帝的曾孙刘询为君，史称汉宣帝。

成语释义“浃”，湿透，出汗多，湿透脊梁。形容满身大汗。
也形容极度惶恐或惭愧过度。
