I am very ashamed(無地自容)

I am very ashamed(無以自容)

 

(Wei Wuji) was a famous nobleman of the Wei Kingdom during the Warring States Period in China.

In 257 BC, the army of the Qin Kingdom surrounded the capital of the Zhao Kingdom.

 

From the king's bedroom, he stole a tiger carving representing the king's orders.

He held the military power of the 100,000-strong army of the Wei Kingdom stationed on the border.

He assisted the Zhao Kingdom to repel the Qin Kingdom.

 

The king of the Zhao Kingdom and all the people in the capital thanked him very much.

 

The king of the Zhao Kingdom wanted to give him five cities as a gift to thank him.

 

After he heard the news, he was very happy, a proud expression appeared on his face, and he felt that he was so amazing.

 

At this time, one of his guests said to him.

We are good friends and I have some ideas to share with you.

 

He said to the guest.

I'd love to hear you share your views with me.

 

Said the guest.

The first point

I think there are some things a person should never forget for a lifetime, and some things should definitely be forgotten.

If others have a favor for themselves, then this person should remember this favor for the rest of their lives.

If we are kind to others, then we should forget about it, we should not always remember our kindness to others.

 

Second point.

The same thing can be interpreted differently from different people's perspectives.

Your military action this time made the king of the Zhao Kingdom thank you very much, but at the same time, the king of the Wei Kingdom will definitely dislike you very much, and may even kill you because you faked his orders .

 

You are my good friend, I see that your pride has outweighed your humility, I think you are a man of high morals and you should not make such a mistake.

 

He said after listening to the guest.

Thanks for reminding me. I am very ashamed.

I was so ashamed that I wanted to hide.

If there was a hole in the ground right now, I would definitely hide in that hole right away.

 

This idiom is used to describe a person who feels very ashamed of himself.

.

Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts do you have after listening to this story?

When you do a favor to someone, do you expect it to be reciprocated? Have you ever felt ashamed and wanted to hide?

I hope this story will give you something new to gain.

無以自容(I am very ashamed)

 

(魏無忌)是中國戰國時代魏王國一個著名的貴族。

西元前257年,秦王國的軍隊包圍趙王國的首都。

 

他從國王的臥室中,偷了一個代表國王的命令的老虎雕刻。

他掌握了魏王國駐紮在邊境的那隻10萬人的軍隊的兵權。

他協助趙王國擊退秦王國。

 

趙王國的國王與所有首都的人們都非常地感謝他。

 

趙王國的國王想要把把五座城市送給他,作為感謝他的禮物。

 

他聽到這個消息後,他很開心,他的臉上露出了驕傲的表情,他覺得自已太了不起了。

 

這時候,他的一位客人對他說。

我們是好朋友,我有一些觀點想跟你分享。

 

他對這個客人說。

我很樂意聽到你跟我分享你的觀點。

 

這個客人說。

第一點

我認為一個人有些事情應該一輩子不能忘記,而有些事情應該一定要忘記。

別人如果對自已有恩惠,那麼這個人應該要一輩子都要記得這個恩惠。

如果我們對別人有恩惠,那麼這件事我們應該要忘記,我們不應該一直紀念自己對他人的恩惠。

 

第二點。

同樣一件事情、站在不同人的角度看卻會產生不同的解讀。

你這次的軍事行動,讓趙王國的國王非常的感謝你,但與此同時,魏王國的國王也一定會變得非常的不喜歡你,甚至有可能會殺了你,因為你假造他的命令。

 

你是我的好朋友,我看見你的驕傲已經勝過你的謙卑,我認為你是一個道德高尚的人,你不應該犯下這種錯誤。

 

他聽了這個客人的話後他說。

謝謝你提醒我。我非常的羞愧。

我因為太慚愧所以我很想要想躲起來。

如果現在地上有一個洞,我一定會立刻躲進這個洞裡。

 

這句成語被用來形容一個人自己覺得自已非常的羞愧。


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。

你對人家有恩惠時,你會很希望他人的回報嗎?你曾經有過因為感覺羞愧所以想躲起來的這種經驗嗎?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
