We should not take it lightly(蜂蠆有毒)
During the Spring and Autumn Period in
China, there were two very small kingdoms. One is the Kingdom of (Shougu), and
the other is the Kingdom of (Zhu). These two small kingdoms often clash.
The Lu Kingdom helped the (Sugu) Kingdom,
so the king of the (Zhu) Kingdom was very angry.
The (Zhu) Kingdom declared war on the Lu
Kingdom.
The king of Lu Kingdom laughed when he
heard the news. He said.
(Zhu) The kingdom declares war with us.
This is ridiculous.
A minister of the Lu Kingdom said to the
king.
We should seriously think about how to
fight.
Said the king.
Their army is far less than ours, why
should we worry about it.
The minister replied.
We should not think like this.
How do you know what God thinks, we should
remain in awe.
Said the king.
We will definitely win this war.
The minister replied.
My king, a small poisonous insect can cause
harm to a strong man. We really should be fully prepared.
The king did not listen to his opinion.
As a result, the Kingdom of Lu lost this
war.
This idiom is used to remind us that even
if the opponent is weak, we must face it carefully.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you despise opponents who are weaker
than you? Do you always maintain an attitude of awe?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
蜂蠆有毒(We should not take it lightly)
中國的春秋時代，有兩個很小的王國。一個是(須句)王國，另一個是(邾)王國。這兩個小王國常常發生衝突。
魯王國幫助(須句)王國，因此(邾)王國的國王很生氣。
(邾)王國便向魯王國宣戰。
魯王國的國王聽到這消息他就笑了。他說。
(邾)王國跟我們宣戰。這事太可笑了。
魯王國有一個大臣對國王說。
我們應該要嚴肅地思考如何迎戰。
國王說。
他們的軍隊人數遠遠比不上我們，我們為何要擔心呢。
大臣回答。
我們不應該這樣想。
你怎麼知道上天的想法呢，我們應該保持敬畏。
國王說。
我們絕對會贏得這場戰爭。
大臣回答。
我的國王阿，一隻小的毒蟲就會對一個強壯的人造成危害啊。我們真的應該要做好萬全的準備。
國王沒有聽他的意見。
結果魯王國輸了這一場戰爭。
這句成語被用來提醒我們，就算對手很弱小，我們也要謹慎地面對。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你會輕視比你弱小的對手嗎?你有時刻保持一種敬畏的態度嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
