A cornered mouse [rat] will bite [attack] the cat.
「窮鼠猫をかむ」という諺のように、人間は追い詰められると死を覚悟の上で権力者に立ち向かいます。
As the proverb "The cornered mouse attacking the cat" says, people who are driven into a corner rise and fight at the risk of their lives.〔【出典】Hiragana Times, 2007年2月号◆【出版社】株式会社ヤック企画 〕"HT244014", "2258083"
