This person is eloquent and knowledgeable(辯知閎達)
In the Han Dynasty of China, there was a
humorous, funny and upright official named (Dongfang Shuo).
He lived from 154 BC to 93 BC.
He was about the same age as the seventh
king of the Han Dynasty (Liu Che), and many stories about the two of them are
recorded in history books.
The Han Dynasty became very powerful under
the leadership of (Liu Che).
One day, (Liu Che) had a conversation with
him.
(Liu Che) said.
Do you think my achievements can be
compared to those kings in Chinese history?
he answered.
I think your achievements have surpassed
most of the kings in Chinese history, and you can be listed as one of the
greatest kings in Chinese history.
You have found and appointed a lot of
talents to become officials of the central government, and the quality of all
officials in our kingdom˙is also the highest in Chinese history.
(Liu Che) laughed happily, (Liu Che)
accepted his flattery and did not refute him.
After a minute, Liu Che said to him with a
smile.
Many officials in the Han Dynasty were
indeed excellent, each with their own strengths and they were all very
competent.
Every official in our kingdom is eloquent
and knowledgeable.
Everyone has rich thoughts and profound
connotations.
Compared with these excellent officials,
you seem to be much worse.
He didn't get angry or feel inferior after
hearing this sentence, he answered with a confident smile.
Indeed, each of these outstanding officials
has their own strengths.
One official has crooked teeth, and another
has big cheeks.
One officer has thick lips, another has a
long neck.
One officer has short feet, another has a
big butt.
One official walks like a duck, another is
a little hunchbacked.
If you compare it from a single aspect, I
really can't beat them.
But if you compare it from the overall
aspect, I have different strengths of each of them at the same time, and no one
of them can beat me in this regard.
He cleverly used self-deprecation to show
his unique advantages.
This idiom means that the person is
eloquent and knowledgeable
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
Do you think he is a humorous person? Do
you get angry when you hear someone mocking you or do you respond in a humorous
way?
I hope this story can give you some new
harvest.

中國的漢王朝有一個幽默又風趣又正直的官員，他的名字是(東方朔)。
他生活的年代是西元前154年到西元前93年。
他與漢王朝的第七任國王(劉徹)的年齡相近，歷史書上記載了很多關於他們兩個人的故事。
漢王朝在(劉徹)的領導下變得非常的強盛。
有一天，(劉徹)與他對話。
(劉徹)說。
你認為我的成就可以堪比中國歷史上的那些國王呢?
他回答。
我認為你的成就已經超越中國歷史上的絕大部分國王，你可以列入中國歷史上最偉大的國王之一。
你發現並且任用了非常多的人才成為中央政府的官員，我們王國中的所有官員的素質也是中國歷史上最高的。
(劉徹)很開心的大笑，(劉徹)接受他的奉承並沒有反駁他。
過了一分鐘，劉徹笑著對他說。
漢王朝的許多官員的確都很優秀，每個人都有各自的長處而且他們都非常的適任。
我們王國中每位官員都有很好的口才，而且知識都非常的淵博。
每個人都有很豐富的思想與深刻的內涵。
與這些優秀的官員相比，你好像差多了呢。
他聽到這句話後沒有生氣也沒感覺自卑，他很有自信地微笑著回答。
這些優秀的官員的確每個人都有各自已的長處。
有一位官員牙齒不整齊，另外一位官員腮幫子很大。
有一位官員的嘴唇很厚，另一位官員的脖子很長。
有一位官員的腳很短，另一位官員的屁股很大。
有一位官員走起路來像隻鴨子，另外一位官員有點駝背。
如果從單一方面比較，我的確贏不過他們。
但若是從總體方面比較，我同時擁有他們每個人的不同的長處，這一點他們就沒有人能贏過我了。
他很巧妙地藉由自嘲，表明了自己獨特的優勢。
這句成語的意思是這個人的口才很好而且知識很淵博
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。
你認為他是一個幽默的人嗎?聽到別人的嘲弄時，你會生氣還是用幽默的方式應對呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
