I can replace him and have everything he
has.(取而代之)
There is a famous hero in Chinese history.
He lived in the last years of the Qin
Dynasty, and he was the most important revolutionary general who overthrew the
Qin Dynasty.
His name is Xiang Yu.
He was only 30 years old and his legendary
life has been told by many Chinese descendants.
History books record a story about him.
His uncle's name is (Xiang Liang), and his
uncle raised him.
When he was a teenager, his uncle was
involved in a murder case, so his uncle took him and fled to (Wuzhong) City in
the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China.
Because of his uncle's outstanding talent
and profound knowledge, his uncle became a local celebrity in a short time
after arriving in (Wuzhong) City.
His uncle taught and helped the people of
(Wuzhong) City to perform various important ceremonies.
His uncle also took the opportunity to
discover and support many talented young people in the area.
His uncle taught the young men everything
he knew.
After they had lived in this city for
several years, one day Qin Shihuang came to the city for an inspection.
This is a very rare event, and all the
people in the town came out of their houses and gathered on both sides of the
road where Qin Shihuang's convoy would pass.
He and his uncle were also among the crowd,
anxiously waiting for Qin Shihuang's carriage convoy to pass in front of them.
After waiting for several hours, Qin
Shihuang's carriage finally appeared in front of them.
Qin Shihuang's carriage was lavishly
decorated, and there were many tall, erect soldiers holding weapons around the
carriage for protection.
Seeing the convoy pass by, he suddenly
said, ''I can replace him.
I can replace him and have everything he
has.
His uncle was astonished when he heard
this.
His uncle quickly covered his mouth and whispered
to him.
You mustn't talk nonsense, you must know
that if your words are heard by others, our entire family will be killed for
it.
His uncle looked into his eyes and suddenly
felt that this boy could do great things when he grew up.
This idiom means I can replace him and have
everything he has.
This idiom can also be used to describe
that I can replace this thing with another.
Dear friend, what are your feelings or
thoughts after listening to this story?
Have you ever seen this celebrity up close?
What kind of person do you want to be, what kind of life do you want to lead?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
取而代之(I can replace him and have everything
he has.)
中國歷史上有一個著名的英雄。
他生活的年代是秦王朝的末年，他是推翻秦王朝最重要的革命軍將領。
他的名字叫做項羽。
他只活了30歲，他的傳奇人生被後代的許許多多中國人傳述。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的叔叔的名字叫做(項梁)，他的叔叔扶養他長大。
在他青少年時期，他的叔叔因為陷入一件殺人的案件，所以他的叔叔帶著他一起逃亡到中國長江的下游的(吳中)城。
由於他的叔叔擁有出色的才能與淵博的知識，他的叔叔到了(吳中)城後在很短的時間內就成了當地的名人。
他的叔叔教導與協助(吳中)城的百姓們舉辦各式各樣的重要的典禮。
他的叔叔也藉著這個機會挖掘與提攜了當地許多有才能的年輕人。
他的叔叔教導這些年輕人學習他所知道的一切。
他們住在這座城市幾年後，有一天，秦始皇來到這座城市視察。
這是一件非常稀罕的大事，這座城市中的所有民眾全部都走出家門並且聚集在秦始皇的馬車車隊會經過的道路兩旁。
他與他的叔叔也擠在這些人群中，他們興奮地等候著載著秦始皇的馬車車隊經過他們眼前的道路。
他們等了好幾個小時後，秦始皇的馬車車隊終於出現在他們眼前。
秦始皇的馬車裝飾得非常的華麗，馬車車隊的四周有許多挺拔的士兵拿著武器警戒保護。
他看到這車隊經過的時候，他突然說了一句話。
我可以取代他並且擁有他所擁有的一切。
他的叔叔聽到這句話後嚇了一大跳。
他的叔叔趕緊摀住他的嘴巴，他的叔叔小聲地對他說。
你不可以亂說話，你要知道，你這句話若是被別人聽到，我們整個家族的人都會因此被殺。
他的叔叔看著他的眼神，他的叔叔突然感覺，這個男孩長大以後可能以後會有很了不起的成就。
這一句成語的意思是我可以取代他並且擁有他所擁有的一切。
這一句成語也可以用來形容我可以用這個東西取代另一件東西。
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。
你有親眼近距離的看過那個名人嗎?你想成為怎樣的人，你想要過怎樣的生活呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
