No matter what he does he is to blame(動輒得咎)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous official who was also a famous writer. His name is (Han Yu).
He is very upright. He wrote an article.
The content of this article is a
conversation between a Confucian teacher and his students.
At the Confucian Academy in the capital, a
senior teacher shares his views with all the students in class.
One student expressed disagreement with
him.
said the student.
You are an expert in Confucianism, and you
are well behaved. You have very good moral character.
We all admire your attitude towards
learning, you are the best example of diligent study.
But the king and the prime minister do not
trust you. You were sent to remote southern China a few years ago.
In recent years, you have been transferred
back to the capital, and you have become a teacher in the Confucian Academy,
but the king and prime minister still do not value you.
There are many bad officials who often
design to frame you, and you often fail.
Your friends also don't offer to help you
when you're in trouble.
You are often caught in a dilemma.
No matter what you do you are to blame.
Your family suffers with you, and your
children don't have enough clothing to keep out the cold. Your wife is troubled
every day because there is not enough food.
You are so miserable, but you tell us that
you can reap good fruits as long as you study hard.
So I don't agree with what you said.
This idiom means that no matter what a
person does, he will be blamed.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
What do you think of the fact that a man of
integrity has met bad luck? If you were him, and you fell into poverty, would
you give up your integrity?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
動輒得咎(No matter what he does he is to blame)
中國的唐王朝時代，有一位著名的官員，他也是一個著名的文學家。他的名字是(韓愈)。
他非常正直。他寫過一篇文章。
這篇文章的內容是一個儒家老師與他的學生們的對談。
在首都的儒家學院，一個資深的老師在課堂上他對所有的學生分享他的看法。
有一個學生表示不同意他的觀點。
這個學生說。
你是一個儒學專家，你的舉止得體。你具備非常好的道德品格。
我們都非常的敬佩你的學習態度，你是勤奮學習的最佳典範。
可是國王與宰相卻不信任你，你前幾年被派任到偏遠的中國南方。
這幾年你被調職回到首都，你成為儒家學院的老師，但是國王與宰相仍然不重視你。
有許多不好的官員們常常設計陷害你，你經常失敗。
你的朋友們在你遭遇困難的時候也沒有主動幫助你。
你常常常陷入進退兩難的窘境。
不論你做甚麼事情你都被責怪。
你的家人跟著你受苦，你的孩子們沒有足夠的衣物來禦寒。你的妻子因為糧食不夠而每天煩惱。
你是如此的悽慘，但你卻對我們說你們只要勤奮學習就能收穫好的果實。
所以我不認同你所說的話。
這句成語的意思是無論一個人做什麼事他都會被責怪。
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。
你如何看待一個正直的人卻遭遇厄運的這件事呢?你如果是他，你陷入了貧窮，你會因此放棄自己的正直嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
