His act of attacking another person hurt
both himself and the other person.(兩敗俱傷)
In the Qing Dynasty of China, there was a
famous scholar and minister named (Ji Yun).
He wrote a book in which he recorded some
strange stories about monsters and ghosts that he had personally heard and
experienced.
This phrase comes from one of the stories.
The general content of the story is as follows.
There was a man who had a fox monster
living in his house.
This fox monster does not bother his
family. Sometimes it gives him gifts and sometimes it talks to him. The man and
the fox lived together peacefully.
One day, the fox monster said to him.
You have an empty house that has not been
lived in for a long time.
You recently demolished that house, didn't
you?
he replied.
That's right, this house has been empty for
a long time and I thought I wouldn't use it, so I pulled it down.
said the fox monster to him.
In the few years that this house has been
empty, a ghost has lived in it.
Now you have demolished this house, so this
ghost has no house to live in.
This ghost has now come to your house. This
ghost is very evil. This ghost is not a good ghost.
His ability is stronger than mine, so he
has been bullying me lately.
This ghost has been making your children
sick recently.
He asked nervously after hearing what the
fox monster said.
That sounds bad, what should I do?
The Fox Monster said to him.
According to my information, there is a
Taoist priest in your town who is very powerful in magic.
You can ask this Taoist priest to help you
drive out this evil spirit.
The man immediately went to ask the Taoist
priest for help. When the Taoist priest heard what he said, he wrote a spell.
The Taoist priest said to the man
You take this talisman back to your house,
you place this talisman in the courtyard of your house, and then you set the
talisman on fire.
The man followed the instructions of the
Taoist priest.
After the man had placed the amulet in the
courtyard and burned it, a strong wind suddenly blew in the courtyard of his
house, and then there was a thunderous noise in the courtyard that shook even
the house.
He watched in horror as this strange thing
happened, and suddenly he heard the voice of the fox monster.
The fox monster said to him in a very
frightened voice.
I didn't expect that the advice I gave you
would hurt my own interests.
Your home has been protected by the power
of this spell. That Taoist priest's spell eliminated that evil spirit.
This Taoist priest's spell is more powerful
than I expected, so I cannot live with you in the future.
I must leave now, otherwise I will also be
destroyed.
After Ji Yun finished writing the story, he
expressed his opinion about listening to the story.
Ji Yun said.
That fox monster was being bullied by the
ghost, so he just wanted to use the quickest and easiest way to get rid of the
ghost.
The fox monster's attack on the ghost
caused damage to both himself and the ghost, so the fox monster ended up
regretting the result.
After listening to this story, I should
learn to remember that before we make a decision, we should not rush into it.
We must first carefully consider the various consequences of this behaviour
before taking action.
This idiom means that both sides suffer.
This idiom is used to describe the
behaviour of a person who attacks another person, causing harm to himself and
to the other person.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
What do you think after listening to this
story? Have you ever wanted to take revenge on others, but ended up hurting
yourself instead?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
兩敗俱傷(His act of attacking another person
hurt both himself and the other person.)
中國的清王朝，有一個著名的學者與大臣，他的名字叫做(紀昀)。
他寫過一本書，他在這本書中紀錄了他聽過與親身經歷過的一些關於妖怪與鬼魂的奇異故事。
這句成語就是出自其中一個故事，這個故事的大概內容如下。
有一個男人，他的家裡住著一隻狐狸妖怪。
這隻狐狸妖怪不會騷擾他的家人，有時候還會送他禮物，有時候還會跟他聊天，他與這個狐狸妖怪很和平的一起生活著。
有一天，這隻狐狸妖怪對他說。
你有一間空房子，這間空房子已經很久沒有人住了。
你最近把這間房子拆掉了對吧?
他回答。
沒有錯，這間房子已經空很久了，我認為我用不到這間房子，所以把這間房子拆了。
狐狸妖怪對他說。
這間房子空下來的這幾年，有一隻鬼住在裡面。
現在你把這間房子拆了，所以導致這隻鬼因為沒有房子可以住。
這隻鬼現在跑到你家裡，這隻鬼很兇惡，這隻鬼不是一隻好鬼。
他的能力比我強大，所以他最近都欺負我。
這隻鬼又讓你家中的小孩最近經常生病。
他聽到這隻狐狸妖怪說的這些話後他很緊張地問。
這聽起來很糟糕，那我應該要怎麼辦呢?
狐狸妖怪對他說。
根據我的情報，你住的這座城市中有一個法術很厲害的道士。
你可以去請這個道士來協助你驅逐這個兇惡的鬼。
這個男人就立刻去請這個道士幫忙，這個道士聽到他說的話後，他寫了一場符咒，這個道士對這個男人說。
你把這張符咒拿回你家，你把這張符咒放在你家中的院子裡，然後點火燒了這張符咒。
這個男人就照個這個道士的指示去做。
這個男人把這張符咒放在院子裡並且燒了之後，他家中的院子裡面突然颳起一陣大風，接著院子周圍發出像是打雷般的聲音連房屋都在震動。
他很驚恐地看著這個奇異的事情發生，突然間他聽到這隻狐狸妖怪的聲音。
這隻狐狸妖怪用很驚恐的聲音對他說。
我沒有想到我給你的建議竟然傷害到我自己的利益。
你家已經被這張符咒的法力所保護，這個道士的這張符咒已經消滅了這隻兇惡的鬼。
這個道士的這張符咒的法力比我預想的更強大，所以我以後不能夠繼續跟你住在一起了。
我現在要立刻離開，不然我也會消滅。
紀昀寫完這個故事後，他提出他對於聽完這個故事的看法。
紀昀說。
這隻狐狸妖怪因為被那隻鬼欺負，所以他只想著要用最快速簡單的方式讓這隻鬼離開。
這個狐狸妖怪用來打擊那隻鬼的行為讓他與那隻鬼都受到損傷，所以這隻狐狸妖怪最後對這結果感到後悔。
聽完這個故事，讓我學會提醒我自己，我們在做出任何的決策之前，不要匆忙做出決定，一定要先審慎的思考這個行為可能會帶來的各種後果後才行動。
這句成語是兩敗俱傷的意思。
這句成語被用來形容一個人打擊另一個人的行為讓自己與另外一個人都受到損傷。
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。
你聽完這個故事你有怎樣的感想嗎?你是否曾經因為要報復別人，但是結果反而傷害到自己的經驗呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
