Sour grapes 意為「酸葡萄心理；吃不到葡萄說葡萄酸」。 這個慣用語源自《伊索寓言》 (Aesop’s Fables) 中的一則寓言《狐狸與葡萄》 (The Fox and the Grapes)。 故事的寓意就是當一個人得不到自己想要的東西時，就會把那樣東西貶得一文不值或否認它的價值。 在這個故事中，有隻狐狸發現了一棵葡萄樹，樹上的葡萄又大又紅，饞得狐狸直流口水，「多好的葡萄啊，肯定又甜又多汁。 」狐狸踮起腳尖，奮力向上跳想摘下一串紅葡萄，但一次、兩次…，卻始終搆不到葡萄，矮個的狐狸累得氣喘吁吁。 於是狐狸便嘗試用其他方法去摘葡萄，但都不得其門而入，最後牠只好放棄，悻悻然地搖著尾巴離去，還邊走邊安慰自己說：「這葡萄肯定沒熟，是酸的。
