【楊愛民】
刮目相看

楊愛民

成語:刮目相看(GUA MU XIANG KAN): to marvel at somebody’s progress or achievements; to treat somebody with increased respect.
出處:三國志,吳書,呂蒙傳。
釋義:士別三日,刮目相看。稱讚一個人在分別一段時間後,有了驚人的成就或改變。
故事:三國時代,吳國有個將軍名呂蒙,小時候家貧,除了苦練武功,從來未讀過書。孫權(領袖)對呂蒙和蔣欽說,“你們兩人是當朝的執政者,應該讀點書參加一點學問才好。”呂蒙說,“我在軍隊裡常常覺得事情太多,恐怕沒有讀書的時間。”
孫權說,“你以為我要你成為經學博士嗎?你們只要多讀些前人留下的記錄、經歷之類的書就行了。你事情多,哪裡趕得上我的事情多呢?孔子說,‘終日不吃,終夜不飲,都沒有益,最好是讀書。’漢光武帝在作戰時還手不釋卷。曹操也自稱老而好學。你們為什麼不能勉勵自己呢?”
於是,呂蒙開始發奮苦讀,他所發現的義理和見解,連許多專家也趕不上。後來,魯肅代替了都督周瑜的位置,去和呂蒙商量事情。魯肅撫摸著呂蒙的背說,“我以為你這位老弟只有武術而已,誰知道今天,你的學問這樣廣博,已經不是以前的吳下阿蒙了。”呂蒙說,“一個人分別了三天,就應該對他另眼相看。”
用法:張三參加書法班不到三個月,居然有驚人的進步。李四看了張三的作品說,“ 士別三日,刮目相看”,你的書法進步令我佩服。
故事英譯:During the period of Three Kingdoms, there was a general named Lu Meng, who was poor and helpless in childhood and hadn’t read totally, but exercising martial arts all day long.
One day, Emperor Sun Quan of Wu State said to Lu Meng and Jiang Qin, “ Since you two are the key administrative officials in our government, so you should be better read some books and increase knowledge.” Lu Meng answered, “In military I always feel that I have too many administration matters to complete, I’m afraid that I have no time to read.”
Sun Quan said,” Do you think that I let you be a scholar with erudition? It’s ok that you just read a little more the document that ancestors’ experience being left to us. You said you have too many routine affairs, could you have more matters than mine? Confucius said, ‘Do not eat and drink, but reading is the best!’ Emperor Guang Wu of Han always took a book in his hand in battle fields, and Cao Cao boasted himself that he liked to learn in old age. Why can’t you encourage yourself to read?”
Then, Lu Meng started to study diligently. Afterward, the doctrine and opinion he found couldn’t even be matched by experts. In the meantime, Lu Su substituted the post of General Zhou Yu, and went to negotiating with Lu Meng; Lu Su touched and patting at Lu Meng’s back and said ,”I think that you my brother just have martials, unexpectedly today your knowledge is so astonished, and you have not been the A-meng of the original one at Wu.” Lu Meng said, “One should marvel at his progress and achievements after separating three days.”
