十四 一箭雙雕

十四 一箭雙雕

雕是一種大鳥. 這個成語的意思是說一個人很有本事,
用一隻箭同時可以射下來兩隻大鳥. 在中國南北朝的時候,

皇帝派他出使突厥國.突厥的國王攝圖知道長孫晟的本領很好, 非常賞識他,
常邀他ㄧ起去騎馬打獵. 有一天, 他們又率領大隊人馬去打獵.
他們到了森林以後, 沒看見有什麼野獸, 很失望. 正在這時候,...

两千多年前，杞国有一个人，膽子很小，什么都怕。

如果天掉下来了，我们躲到哪去呀？我们一定死定了。 Yes, you're correct.

This 杞人憂天 reminds me of another similar chenyu--吳牛喘月, which means to be frightened
or fear something too much.

Hope it...

Hehe! It beats me. I think the function of ㄋㄟ is like that of 喔, 啊, 咦, etc. It's the
