邯鄲學步
English
相傳在兩千年前，燕國壽陵地方有壹位少年，不知道姓啥叫啥，就叫他壽陵少年吧！
這位壽陵少年不愁吃不愁穿，論長相也算得上中等人材，可他就是缺乏自信心，經常無緣無故地感到事事不如人，低人壹等——衣服是人家的好，飯菜是人家的香，站相坐相也是人家高雅。他見什麽學什麽，學壹樣丟壹樣，雖然花樣翻新，卻始終不能做好壹件事，不知道自己該是什麽模樣。
家裏的人勸他改壹改這個毛病，他以為是家裏人管得太多。親戚、鄰居們，說他是狗熊掰棒子，他也根本聽不進去。日久天長，他竟懷疑自己該不該這樣走路，越看越覺得自己走路的姿勢太笨，太醜了。
有壹天，他在路上碰到幾個人說說笑笑，只聽得有人說邯鄲人走路姿勢那叫美。他壹聽，對上了心病，急忙走上前去，想打聽個明白。不料想，那幾個人看見他，壹陣大笑之後揚長而去。
邯鄲人走路的姿勢究竟怎樣美呢？他怎麽也想象不出來。這成了他的心病。終於有壹天，他瞞著家人，跑到遙遠的邯鄲學走路去了。
壹到邯鄲，他感到處處新鮮，簡直令人眼花繚亂。看到小孩走路，他覺得活潑、美，學；看見老人走路，他覺得穩重，學；看到婦女走路，搖擺多姿，學。就這樣，不過半月光景，他連走路也不會了，路費也花光了，只好爬著回去了。
故事出自《莊子·秋水》。成語“邯鄲學步”，比喻生搬硬套，機械地模仿別人，不但學不到別人的長處，反而會把自己的優點和本領也丟掉。
Imitating Another without Success and Losing What Used to Be One'sOwn Ability
Tradition has it that more than 2,oooyears ago,there lived a young man in the Shouling area of the State of Yan.As his name is not known ,we just call him Shouling young man for convenience's sake.
self confident He was at a loss as to how to behave all the time.
His family members advised him to overe this shorting,but he thought they were fond of poking their noses into his business and were unwilling to provide him with tuition fee.His relatives and neighbours sneered at him,saying that he would never be able to learn anything.Asthe days went by,he even began to doubt whether he should walk the way he did,for he felt more and more that his walking gestures were too clumsy and awkward.
One day,he met some people on the road who werechattingand laughing.One of themsaid that people in Handan walked most gracefully.And thaas just what he was most concerned about,so he hurreed towards themand wanted to make further inquiries.To his surprise,when these people saw him,they stalked off laughing.
He could not picture to himself in what way their walking gestures were graceful,no matter how hard he racked his parents one day.He went to Handanwhich was far away to learn how to walk.
As soon as he arrived in Handan,he was dazzled to find that everything was novel.He learned from the children there how to walk,because he thought that the children's walking gestures were lively and pleasing to the eye.He learnd from the old people there how to walk,because he thought the old people's walking gestures were steady .He learnd from the women there how to walk,because he thought the women' swaying walking gestures were beautiful.That being the case with him ,in less than half a month he even fot how to walk.As he had already used up his traveling expenses,he had to crawl back home.
Thisstory e from the article"Autumn Water"in The Works of Xhuang Zi(Zhuang Zi was a famous ancient Chinese philosopher of about 300B.c.).Later the set phrase"initating another without success and losing what used to be one's own ability"is used to refer to acts of copying others mechanisally in disregard of specififc conditions.
汲黯是西漢武帝時代人，以剛直正義、敢講真話而受人尊重。他為人和做官都不拘小節，講求實效。雖然表面上不那麽轟轟烈烈，卻能把壹個郡治理得井井有條，因此，朝廷把他從東海太守調到朝廷當主爵都尉——壹種主管地方吏任免的官職。
有壹次，漢武帝說要實行儒家的仁義之政，為老百姓辦好事了。沒等皇帝把話說完，汲黯就說：“陛下內心裏那麽貪婪多欲，表面上卻要裝得實行仁政，這是何苦呢？”壹句話把皇帝噎了回去。漢武帝登時臉色大變，宣布罷朝，滿朝文武都為汲黯捏著壹把汗，擔心他會因此招來大禍。武帝回到宮裏以後，對身邊的人說，汲黯這個人也未免太粗太直了。
從此以後，汲黯的官職再也沒有提升。他當主爵都尉的時候，公孫弘、張湯都還是不起眼的小官，後來，他們壹個勁兒住上升，公孫弘當上了丞相，張湯做上了禦史大夫，可他汲黯還蹲在原地沒動窩。有壹天，汲黯對武帝說，陛下使用群臣，跟碼劈柴壹樣，是“後來者居上”啊！漢武帝當然聽得出這是發牢騷。於是，轉臉對臣下們說：“人真是不能不學習啊！妳們聽汲黯說話，越來越離譜了！”
故事出自《史記·汲鄭列傳》。成語“後來居上”，往往指後起的可以勝過先前的。和汲黯說這話的原意，大不相同。
The Lateers Surpass the Old-timers
This set phrase is derived from the plaints Ji An made to the emperor.
Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a mander in charge of the appointment and di *** issal of the local officals.
Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confuciani *** and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.
For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the mander in charge of the appointment and di *** issal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAn's post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the lateers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was plaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."
This story es from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the lateers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the lateers surpassed the old-timers.
