answer a fool according his folly 照愚人的愚昧话回答。对糊涂人装糊涂；以傻对傻；以其人之道还治其人之心。
据《圣经·旧约·箴言》（Bible, Old Testament，Proverbs）第26章第4-5节记载：以色列王大卫的儿子（David）所罗门（Solomon）所罗门博学多才、智慧超群，他的智慧盛名远扬，四海之内无人不知无人不晓，别国的国王都慕名前来求见，听他富于智慧的谈话。所罗门作箴言劝导人们：“不要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，免得你与他一样。要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，免得他自以为有智慧。”（Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. ）
据此，人们用“照愚人的愚昧话回答”（answer a fool according his folly）表示“对糊涂人装糊涂；以傻对傻；以其人之道还治其人之心。”如：
The angry wife said she was blind in choosing him, who said answering a fool according his folly that the sight of her made him sick. So you can imagine what happened later.
（妻子在火头上，说她当初找他真是瞎了眼。他呢，也真够傻的，说他一见她就恶心。 所以后来的事你就可以想象了。）
