Not good but acceptable(差強人意)/ He is a very capable and valuable person (隱若敵國)
China has a very long history. After the
changes of the times, some idioms have completely different meanings from their
original meanings.
During the Han Dynasty in China, historians
divide it into the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-8 AD) and the Eastern Han
Dynasty (25 AD-220 AD).
The Eastern Han Dynasty had a famous
general named (Wu Han).
His story is recorded in the history books.
He followed the king and together they
fought many battles in many parts of China.
The king trusted him very much.
He was very loyal to the king, he was like
the king's bodyguard.
He would wait until the king went to bed
every day before he went to bed.
The greatest generals cannot always win
battles.
Sometimes their armies lose battles,
everyone's morale is low, and their fighting equipment is damaged,
He will lead these soldiers to repair
damaged weapons and continue training.
He encouraged all the soldiers, and he was
very good at stirring up the fighting spirit.
Several times the king came to look for him
in the barracks where he lived.
The king saw him silently studying the
offensive and defensive strategies of combat.
The king once said to all the officers and
soldiers.
(Wu Han) is a person who can encourage
everyone and inspire everyone's fighting spirit.
His capability and value are comparable to
a kingdom.
The original meaning of this idiom is that
he is a person who can encourage everyone and inspire everyone's fighting
spirit.
This idiom now means that a person or thing
is acceptable but not good enough.
The second idiom means that he is a very
capable and valuable person

差強人意(Not good but acceptable)/ 隱若敵國)( He is a very capable and valuable person)
中國的歷史非常的悠久，經過時代的變化，有一些成語原本的意思和現在使用的意思已經完全不同。
中國的漢王朝時代，歷史學家將其分為西漢王朝(西元前202年-西元8年)與東漢王朝(西元25年-西元220年)。
東漢王朝有一個著名的將軍，這個將軍的名字叫做(吳漢)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他跟隨著國王，他們一起在中國的許多地方打過很多場仗。
國王非常的信任他。
他對國王非常的忠心，他就像是國王的隨身保鏢。
他每天都會等到國王就寢後，他才會去就寢。
最偉大的將軍也不可能永遠打勝仗。
有時候他們的軍隊打了敗仗，所有人的士氣低落，而且打仗的裝備也受損了，
他會帶領著這些士兵一起修繕受損的兵器並且持續訓練。
他鼓勵所有士兵們，他很擅長激發起大家的戰鬥精神。
有幾次國王到他住的軍營中找他。
國王看見他一個人默默地研究作戰的攻擊策略與防守策略。
國王曾經對所有的官兵說。
(吳漢)是一個可以鼓勵大家，激發起大家戰鬥精神的人。
他的能力與價值堪比一個王國。
這句成語原本的意思是他是一個能夠鼓勵大家並且激發起大家的鬥志的人。
這句成語現在的意思是指一個人或一件事雖然不夠好但還可以接受。
第二句成語的意思是他是一個能力很高且很有價值的人。
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。
你遭遇失敗時，你會做些甚麼事情激勵自己?你若看到他人陷入低潮，你會怎樣鼓勵他呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
