B1 Idiom 中性

mieć serce z kamienia

to have a heart of stone

意思

To be unfeeling.

🌍

文化背景

In Polish literature, the 'heart of stone' is often contrasted with the 'Romantic heart' which is full of passion and suffering. To have a heart of stone is to be 'dead' to the national spirit. The expansion 'Hearts of Stone' for The Witcher 3 (Serca z Kamienia) popularized the idiom among younger generations, linking it to the character Olgierd von Everec. Many older Poles associate the phrase with the biblical promise of God replacing a heart of stone with a heart of flesh, often heard in Lenten sermons.
