One day, Zhuang Gong, King of the State of Qi, went out in a chariot to hunt.
一天,齊莊公乘車外出打獵。
On the way, he saw a small insect raise both its arms, trying to stop the wheels of the chariot.
路上,他看見一只小蟲舉起雙臂,想阻擋車輪前進。
Zhuang Gong of Qi was curious and asked the driver:
齊莊公很好奇,就問車夫:
"What kind of insect is it?"
“這是什么蟲子?”
"It is a mantis," the driver replied promptly. "
車夫連忙回答:“這是蝗螂。
This kind of insect only knows how to advance but not retreat, blindly underrating its enemies and overrating its own abilities."
這種蟲子只知前進,不知后退,盲目輕敵,不自量力。”
Hearing the driver's reply, Zhuang Gong smiled to himself and remained silent.
聽了車夫的回答,莊公暗自發(fā)笑,默默無語。
