如雷貫耳(His reputation is as loud as thunder)
中國的春秋時代，位於長江流域的吳王國與楚王國之間經常發生戰爭。
西元前506年，吳王國的軍隊經過連續五場勝利，順利攻下楚王國的首都。
楚王國面臨亡國的危機。
元王朝有一個著名的劇作家，他的名字叫做(鄭廷玉)。
他根據這個著名的歷史事件創作出一部戲劇。
這部戲劇的部分內容如下。
楚王國的國王離開首都，所有的大臣也都為了活命而逃走。
楚王國有一個著名很衷心的大臣，這個大臣的名字叫做(申包胥)。
他逃離首都後，他獨自前往秦王國。
他秦王國的國王會面。
他對秦王國的國王說。
楚王國無法抵擋吳王國的軍隊，楚王國很可能會滅國。
秦王國與楚王國的王室之間有聯姻的關係。
現任的楚王國的國王是你的女兒的兒子，因此我懇求你派遣軍隊派遣軍隊協助楚王國抵抗吳王國。
秦王國的國王拒絕了他，國王說。
我不願意派遣軍隊協助楚王國。打仗需要花費很多的金錢與人力。
他被趕出皇宮，但他沒有離開。
他坐在秦王國的皇宮大門外面，哭了七天七夜。
第八天，秦王國的國王讓他進了皇宮。
他們在一間會議室中碰面，會議室中除了國王之外還有一個長的很高大的人。
國王對他說。
我被你的忠誠與決心所感動，所以我決定協助你們抵擋吳王國。
國王指了一下那位長的很高大的人對他說。
我介紹你們兩位彼此認識，這個將軍的名字叫做(姬輦)。
他明天會率領10萬人的軍隊前往楚王國。
他非常的開心，他與(姬輦)握手，他對(姬輦)說。
我很久以前就已經聽過你的名字，你的名聲就像是打雷聲一樣的響亮。
他轉頭對國王說。
我非常感謝你願意派遣軍隊協助我們。我會每天為你祈禱，我會每天懇求神祝福你，永遠的保護著你。
這句成語被用來形容一個人的人名氣很大，眾所共聞。
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。
你是否曾經見過那些名人呢?你是否曾經被誰的決心所感動過嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
