I don't have the ability to handle this situation(束手無策)
There was a scholar in the Song Dynasty in
China whose name was (Li Fang). He collected many materials and records, and
compiled a collection of fantasy stories totaling 500 volumes.
There is a story in this book.
There was a general in the Tang Dynasty,
and his name was (Wei Shu).
When he was 40 years old, he had a very
strange disease.
He didn't have any soreness in his body,
but his appetite became poor and he ate less and less every day.
He lost weight day by day, and his body
became smaller and smaller.
His family sought many doctors and warlocks
hoping to cure him.
But these people said to his family with
their hands spread out.
I can't cure him.
In less than a year, his body shrunk to the
size of a baby.
He couldn't walk or sit, and he couldn't speak.
His wife and mother hold him every day, and
all his family is very sad.
On his birthday, his family invited a monk
to pray for him.
His wife made an oath.
He and I don't eat meat from today, and the
two of us only eat vegetarian food.
If he can recover, the two of us will eat
only vegetarian food for the rest of our lives.
From this day on, his wife began to eat
only vegetarian food, and only fed him vegetarian food.
Unexpectedly, after he started to eat only
vegetarian food, his appetite became better and better.
He eats more and more every day.
His size, like his appetite, was increasing
day by day.
His strange disease was cured without
medicine.
Half a year later, his figure returned to
what it was before he became ill, and he returned to health.
This idiom is used as a metaphor when faced
with a problem and there is no solution.
Dear friends, what are your feelings or
thoughts after listening to this story?
Are the relatives and friends around you
troubled by illness? When you encounter such a problem that you cannot solve,
what will you do?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
束手無策(I don't have the ability to handle
this situation)
中國宋王朝有一個學者他的名字叫做(李昉)。他蒐集了許多資料與記載，編了一本總數達500卷的奇幻故事集。
這本書中有一個故事。
唐王朝有一個將軍，他的名字叫做(魏淑)。
他40歲的時候生了一場很奇怪的病。
他的身體沒有任何的痠痛，但是他的食慾變得很差，他每天吃東西吃得愈來愈少。
他一天一天的消瘦，他的身體變得愈來愈小。
他的家人找了很多醫生與術士希望能治癒他。
但是這些人都兩手一攤的對他的家人說。
我沒有辦法治癒他。
不到一年的時間，他的身體竟然縮小到像是嬰兒一樣的小。
他不能走也不能坐，他也無法說話。
他的妻子與母親每天抱著他，他的所有家人都非常的哀愁。
在他生日的那一天，他的家人們請了一個和尚來為他祈福。
他的妻子立下一個誓言。
我與他從今天開始不吃肉食，我門兩個人只吃素食。
如果他可以恢復健康，我門兩個人這一輩子都會只吃素食。
從這一天開始，他的妻子便開始只吃素食，也只餵食他素食。
令人意想不到，他開始只吃素食後，他的食慾竟然愈來愈好。
他食量一天比一天增加。
他的身形跟他的食量一樣，一天一天地增加。
他的怪病不藥而癒。
半年後，他的身材恢復成沒有生病前的模樣，他恢復健康。
這句成語被用來比喻面對問題時，毫無解決的辦法。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你周圍的親友是否被病痛所困擾呢?當你遇見這種令你沒有辦法解決的問題時，你會怎樣做呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
