时间:2021-08-31

  One day, Zhuang Gong, King of the State of Qi, went out in a chariot to hunt.

  一天,齐庄公乘车外出打猎。

  On the way, he saw a small insect raise both its arms, trying to stop the wheels of the chariot. Zhuang Gong of Qi was curious and asked the driver:

  路上,他看见一只小虫举起双臂,想阻挡车轮前进。齐庄公很好奇,就问车夫:

  "What kind of insect is it?"

  “这是什么虫子?”

  "It is a mantis," the driver replied promptly. "This kind of insect only knows how to advance but not retreat, blindly underrating its enemies and overrating its own abilities."

  车夫连忙回答:“这是蝗螂。这种虫子只知前进,不知后退,盲目轻敌,不自量力。”

  Hearing the driver's reply, Zhuang Gong smiled to himself and remained silent.

  听了车夫的回答,庄公暗自发笑,默默无语。
