His test score is a little worse than mine(名落孫山)
There was a man from the Song Dynasty in
China, and his name was (Sun Shan).
He is one of the few people in Chinese
history who is remembered by everyone because of a story.
He lives in Jiangsu Province, China. He
went to Nanjing to take the imperial examination with a good friend from his
hometown.
This is the most important system in
ancient China for selecting officials through examinations.
After the exam, they stayed near the exam
room and waited.
After about two months, the admission list
was finally announced.
He was very happy because he was admitted,
even though he was the last one on the admission list.
But his good friend was very sad because he
was not admitted.
He said to his good friend.
Let's go home first. Don't be so sad.
Said his good friend.
Go back by yourself. I am in a bad mood. I
want to be alone for a few days. I want to go to other places to relax.
He went home by himself.
After he returned to his hometown, he
happened to meet his good friend's father.
The father of his good friend asked him.
You are back. Then why didn't I see my son.
He replied.
Your son said he would go to another place
to play for a few days before coming back.
The father of his good friend asked him.
What is the result of my son's exam? Did he
pass the exam?
He looked at the look of expectation on the
face of his friend's elderly father.
He didn't know how to answer.
Ten seconds later, he answered.
I am the last one on the admission list in
this exam.
Said his friend's father.
That's great, what about my son.
He replied.
His grades are a little bit worse than
mine.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
is not admitted to the exam.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
If you were him, how would you answer? Do
you consider the position and mood of others before you speak?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
名落孫山(His test score is a little worse than
mine)
中國的宋王朝有一個人，他的名字是(孫山)。
他是中國歷史上少數幾個，因為一段故事就被所有人記得的一個人。
他住在現在中國的江蘇省，他跟同鄉的一個好朋友兩個人一起到南京去參加科舉考試。
這是一種中國古代最重要透過考試來拔選出官員的制度。
考試完畢，他們留在考場附近等候放。
大概兩個月後，錄取名單終於公布了。
他非常的開心因為他錄取了，雖然他是錄取名單中的最後一名。
但是他的好朋友沒有考上所以非常的難過。
他對他的好朋友說。
我們先回家鄉吧。你不要那麼難過了。
他的好朋友說。
你自已先回去吧，我的心情很不好，我想要一個人安靜幾天，我想去別的地方散散心。
他就自已回家。
他回到家鄉之後，恰巧遇見他的好朋友的父親。
他好朋友的父親就問他。
你回來了啊。那怎麼沒有看到我的兒子呢。
他回答。
你的兒子說要去別的地方玩幾天再回來。
他好朋友的父親就問他。
那我的兒子考試結果如何啊?他有考上嗎?
他看著朋友年邁的父親臉上那種期待的表情。
他不知道該如何回答。
十秒鐘後，他回答。
我是這一次考試中錄取名單中的最後一名。
他朋友的父親說。
那太好了，那我兒子呢。
他回答。
他的成績比我差一點點。
這句成語被用來形容一個人考試沒有錄取。
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。
如果你是他，你會怎樣回答呢?你說話之前會先考慮到別人的立場與心情嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
