Being illusionally paranoid and scaring oneself 杯弓蛇影

Translated 啟示:杯弓蛇影 【bēi gōng shé yǐng】 形容由於錯覺而疑神疑鬼,自己驚嚇自己。 比如有些人以前曾在中國大陸經歷過許多連續不斷的整人運動,後半輩子總是生活在杯弓蛇影的感覺中,怕這怕那,怕很多不該怕的事情。 俗話說 “七份精神三份病”,健康的心理才會給人帶來健康的身體,只有徹底的擺脫心裡的恐懼,才能換來全身心的快樂和健康。 In the Han Dynasty, there was a county magistrate named Ying Chen. One day, he invited his subordinate Du Xuan for a drink in his home. ” Come on. Cheers!” … Continue reading

Come in anticipation of fun 乘興而來

Translated 王徽之是東晉時的大書法家王羲之的三兒子,生性高傲,不願受人約束,行為豪放不拘,常到處閒逛。後來,他乾脆辭去官職,隱居在山陰(今紹興),天天遊山玩水,飲酒吟詩。 有一年冬天,天空中皎潔的月光照在白雪上,好如到處盛開著晶瑩耀眼的花朵,潔白美麗。王徽之高興的獨自一人坐在庭院裡喝酒,觀景,吟詩。 忽然,他想起了那個會彈琴作畫的朋友戴逵。於是,他馬上叫僕人備船揮槳,連夜前往。 船兒整整行駛了一夜,拂曉時,終於到了剡溪。可王徽之卻突然要僕人撐船回去。僕人莫名其妙,詫異地問他為什麼不上岸去見戴逵。他淡淡地一笑,說:“我本來是一時興起才來的。如今興致沒有了,當然應該回去,何必一定要見著戴逵呢?” 啟示: 乘興而來 [Cheng Xing Er Lai] 是指憑著興趣濃厚的時候到來,比喻興致勃勃而來。 一向憑著頭腦一熱,乘興而來的人,往往思想不夠沉著,容易感情用事。 “乘興而來” 常與 “敗興而歸” 連用。 對於遠道來參觀的人,我們要仔細講解,親切接待,以免讓人乘興而來,敗興而歸。 Wang HuiZhi, the son of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, was impulsive in character. One winter, it snows heavily for many days. … Continue reading
