釋義:A person who has great responsibilities, such as a king, is constantly worried and therefore doesn't sleep soundly. This saying is a line from the play King Henry the Fourth, Part Two, by William Shakespeare.
lie是狀態(tài)動詞,常用作系動詞表示“處于……水平狀態(tài)”,其表語可以是形容詞或形容詞化的現(xiàn)在分詞及過去分詞。如:
He lay sick in bed. 他臥病在床。(他處于生病的狀態(tài))
The book lay open. 書展開放在桌上。(書處于展開的狀態(tài))
The machinery was lying idle because of the strike.
機(jī)器因罷工而閑置著。

這句話還可以說成:Heavy is the head who wears the crown.
例句:Susan began to have trouble sleeping shortly after she was promoted to head of her department. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," her friends teased.
