He has no clue(不識時務)
During the Eastern Han Dynasty in China,
there was a famous minister named (Zhang Ba).
There is a story about him in history
books.
At the peak of his official career, he made
a request to the king.
He says.
I'm sick, so I hope to quit my official
position and go home to recuperate.
The king agreed to his request.
He rested at home for a few years.
(Please refer to this blog 2020/10/27-Zhang
Ba)
Because of his great work ability and good
morals, the king specially hired him a few years later to serve as an important
official position in the central government.
The king's attitude was very firm, so he
had no choice but to agree.
In the central government at that time,
there was one person with the most powerful power. He was the queen's elder
brother, and he was a general. His name is (Deng Zhi).
The general has long heard of his
reputation.
The general took the initiative to talk to
him.
The general said.
I heard that your work ability and
character are very good, if I have the opportunity, I would like to invite you
to dinner. We may be able to become good friends.
He said to the general respectfully.
I am very grateful for your invitation, but
my health is very poor.
Social entertainment will affect my health,
so I will go home after get off work.
I sincerely thank you.
The general later invited him several
times, but his answer was the same.
The two of them did not develop friendship
afterwards.
Some other government officials found it
strange and asked him.
Why don't you eat with the general? If you
become friends with him, it will be of great help to your official career.
In addition, some other government
officials mocked him.
He is a fool. He has no clue. He couldn't
see who had the most power now, so he didn't know that he should go to curry
favor with this person.
He laughed at these criticisms without
arguing.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
has no clue and cannot see who has the most power.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
If you were him, what choice would you
make? Why do you think he should keep his distance from this general?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
不識時務(He has no clue)
中國的東漢時代，有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(張霸)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他在自已官職生涯最高峰時，他向國王提出一個請求。
他說。
我生病了，所以我希望辭掉官職回家休養。
國王答應了他的要求。
他便在家裡休息了幾年。
(可參考本部落格2020/10/27 -張霸)
由於他擁有很棒的工作能力與很好的品德，所以幾年後國王又特別聘請他再次出來擔任中央政府的一個重要的官職。
國王的態度很堅決，所以他不得已只好答應。
當時的中央政府中，有一個人的權勢最為龐大，他是王后的哥哥，他是一個大將軍。他的名字叫做(鄧騭)。
這位大將軍早就聽聞他的名聲。
大將軍便主動與他交談。
大將軍說。
我聽聞你的工作能力與品行都很好，如果有機會，我想跟你請你吃飯。我們或許能變成好朋友。
他態度很恭敬的對大將軍說。
我很感謝你的邀請，但是我的身體很差。
應酬會影響我的健康，因此我下班就會回家。
我真心的感謝你。
大將軍後來又邀請他了幾次，但他的回答都是這樣。
他們兩個人後來便沒有發展出友誼。
有一些其他的政府官員覺得很奇怪就問他。
你為何不與大將軍吃飯呢，你如果與他成為朋友，那麼對你的官途會大有幫助啊。
另外還有一些其他的政府官員則是嘲笑他。
他是個呆子。他沒有頭緒。他看不出來現在擁有最大權力的人是誰，所以他不知道應該去巴結這個人。
他聽到這些批評卻都是笑而不辯解。
這句成語被用來形容一個人毫無頭緒，看不出誰的權力最大。
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。
你如果是他，你會做出何種選擇呢?你認為他為何要與這個大將軍保持距離呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
