He has a serious alcoholism(三日僕射)
There was a famous minister in the Eastern
Jin Dynasty of China, his name was Zhou Yi.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
He loved to drink and got drunk almost
every day.
Once he was so drunk that he slept for
three days in a row before getting up.
At that time, his position was equivalent
to that of the Deputy Prime Minister today. The official name of this position
is (Pu She).
His good friends later called him
"Three Days Pu She". The literal translation of this phrase is that
the Deputy Premier slept for three days because he was drunk.
He always drank a lot. When he was young,
he drank about 20 litres of wine every time he drank.
At that time, the main wine in China was
brewed wine, and the alcohol concentration was not high. But even though it was
not high, drinking that much Chinese rice wine every day was an astonishing
amount.
Once he ran into an old friend from his
youth.
We had a great time talking to this old
friend. His old friend was also a very good drinker. He was very happy. He took
out 40 litres of wine and said to his old friend.
I have never met anyone who can compete
with me in drinking. I am so happy to see you today. Let's drink all this
Chinese rice wine together.
He and his old friend chatted and drank.
For a few hours they both got drunk and slept right in the room where they had
been drinking.
When he woke up a few hours later, he saw
his old friend lying drunk next to him. He patted his friend, but he didn't
respond. He felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to check the old
friend's heartbeat and breathing.
His old friend died suddenly because he had
drunk too much.
This idiom is used to describe a person
with severe alcoholism.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you drink a lot? Are you a good drinker?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
(三日僕射He has a serious
alcoholism)
中國的東晉王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做周以。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他很喜歡喝酒，他幾乎每天都喝醉酒。
有一次，他喝酒喝得太醉了，他連續睡了三天才起來。
當時他的職位相當於現在的副宰相。這個職位的官名叫做(僕射)。
他的好朋友們後來便叫他(三日僕射)。這句話直接翻譯的意思是因為喝醉所以睡了三天的副宰相。
他每次喝酒都喝得非常多，他年輕的時候他每次喝酒都要喝大約20公升的酒。
當時的中國主流的酒是釀造酒，酒精濃度不高，但是雖然不高，但是每天喝那麼多中國米酒也是相當驚人的酒量。
有一次，他遇到了一個他年輕時的老朋友。
這個老朋友與與他聊天聊得非常愉快，他的這位老朋友也是一個酒量很好的人，他非常的開心，他拿出了40公升的酒，他對他的這位老朋友說。
我已經很有沒有遇到酒量可以跟我比拚的人了，今天見到你，我太開心了，讓我們一起把這些中國米酒全部喝光吧。
他與他的這個老朋友就聊天邊喝酒，幾個小時候，他們兩個人都喝醉了，他們兩個人都直接睡在他們喝酒的房間內。
又過了幾個小時，他醒過來後，他看著那個一個醉倒在他旁邊的老朋友，他拍了拍他的朋友，但是他的朋友沒有反應，他覺得情況不太對勁，他趕緊檢查這個老朋友的心跳與呼吸。
他的這個老朋友因為飲酒過量所以暴斃了。
這句成語被用來形容一個人有嚴重的酒癮。
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。
你會常常喝酒嗎?你的酒量好嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
