He is fat and his waistline protrudes.(大腹便便)
During the Han Dynasty in China, there was
a famous scholar whose name was (Bian Shao).
He founded a private school. Because of his
profound knowledge, many students come here admiringly. There are hundreds of
his students.
One afternoon at the end of class, he felt
tired.
He was sitting in his study, he closed his
eyes and took a rest.
After about fifteen minutes, he felt a few
people walking to the door of his study.
These people didn't enter the room. These
people stood at the door and talked in low voices.
He listened carefully and heard a student
say.
Hahaha, look at our teacher, he is so fat
because he is too gluttonous, and he sleeps during the day because he is too
lazy.
He heard these talks about him. He is not
angry.
He still closed his eyes, he said.
Hahaha, because my knowledge is too rich, I
need such a fat waist to carry it.
I slept during the day because I
encountered a problem that bothered me, so I wanted to ask the famous ancient
wise man (Zhou Gong) and the ancient famous teacher (Confucius) in my dream.
The question I want to ask them is. If they
heard their students talking about him in private, what would they do?
When these students heard these words,
everyone left in shame.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
is fat and has a prominent waist.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Have you ever talked about others in
private? If you were him, would you treat these students with humor or
scolding?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
大腹便便(He is fat and his waistline
protrudes.)
中國的漢王朝時代，有一個著名的學者，他的名字叫做(邊韶)。
他創立了一間私塾。由於他的學問很淵博，所以有很多學生慕名而來。他的學生有好幾百人。
有一天下午的下課時間，他覺得有累。
他坐在自已的書房，他把眼睛閉起來休息一下。
過了大概十五分鐘，他感覺到有幾個人走到他的書房門口。
這些人沒有進房間，這些人站在門口低聲交談。
他仔細地聽，聽到有一個學生說。
哈哈哈，你們看我們的老師，他因為太貪吃所以才那麼胖，他因為太懶惰所以白天就在睡覺。
他聽到這些議論他的話。他沒有生氣。
他仍然閉著眼睛，他說。
哈哈哈，因為我的知識太豐富所以我需要那麼胖的腰圍才裝載得下。
我白天睡覺是因為我遇見一個很困擾我的問題，所以我想在夢中去問一下古代著名的賢人(周公)還有古代著名的老師(孔子)。
我想問他們的這個問題是。他們如果聽到自己的學生私底下議論他，那他們會怎麼做呢。
這些學生聽到這些話，大家都很羞愧地離開。
這句成語被用來形容一個人很胖而且腰圍突出。
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。
你是否有私底下議論過他人呢?你如果是他，你會用幽默還是責罵的方式對待這些學生呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
