I have used up all my skills(黔驢技窮)

A donkey from Guizhou without powerful abilities(黔驢技窮)

 

During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was a famous writer named Liu Zongyuan who wrote a story.

 

There are many animals in Guizhou Province in China, but there are no donkeys.

A businessman brought a donkey from another province to Guizhou. He found that people in Guizhou Province had never seen a donkey, so no one wanted to buy one. So the businessman set the donkey free in a forest.

The donkey lived a leisurely life in the forest.

 

There was a tiger in the forest. One day the tiger suddenly saw the donkey in the forest.

 

The tiger was startled, the tiger thought.

I have never seen such an animal before. It is very big and looks very strong.

The tiger hid in the bushes and watched the donkey.

After a few hours of watching, the tiger carefully came out of the bushes and quietly approached the donkey, wanting to watch him carefully.

 

When the donkey saw the tiger approaching, it barked loudly to frighten the tiger.

The tiger was startled by the donkey's sudden braying and immediately turned and ran back into the forest.

 

For the next few days, the tiger would come by every day and hide in the bushes to watch the donkey. After about a week, the tiger got used to the donkey's braying.

After the tiger got used to the donkey's bray, he plucked up courage and slowly approached the donkey again.

The tiger walked behind the donkey and the donkey suddenly raised its hind legs and kicked the tiger.

Having been attacked, the tiger turned and ran back into the forest.

 

Over the next few days, the tiger came near the donkey every day, trying to get close to it. After about a week, the tiger discovered that the donkey's only way of attacking was to kick with its hind legs.

 

After confirming that the donkey had no other skills, the tiger found an opportunity to kill and eat the donkey.

 

Liu Zongyuan said after he finished writing this story.

If the donkey that was eaten could have stayed calm and not let the tiger know so easily that he actually had no powerful skills, he might not have been eaten so quickly. Those of us who have heard this story should use this as a warning to ourselves.

 

 

This idiom directly means a Guizhou donkey without strong abilities.

It is used to describe a person with very limited abilities.

黔驢技窮(A donkey from Guizhou without powerful abilities)

 

中國的唐朝時代有一位著名的名字叫做(柳宗元)的文學家,他寫過一個故事。

 

中國個貴州省有很多動物但沒有驢子。

有一個商人從其他省分特地牽了一頭驢子到貴州省,這個商人發現貴州省的人們沒看過驢子所以沒有人想要買驢子,這個商人就把這隻驢子野放到一座森林中。

這隻驢子在這座森林中悠閒的生活。

 

這座森林中住著一隻老虎,有一天這隻老虎突然在森林中看到這隻驢子。

 

老虎嚇了一跳,老虎心想。

我從來沒看過這種動物,這隻動物的身形高大,牠看起來非常的強大。

這隻老虎躲在樹叢間偷看這隻驢子。

觀察了幾個小時後,這隻老虎很小心謹慎地走出樹叢,牠悄悄地接近這隻驢子,牠想仔細觀察這隻驢子。

 

這隻驢子發現老虎向自己靠近時,驢子為了恫嚇老虎所以大聲狂叫。

這隻老虎被驢子突然發出的叫聲嚇到,這隻老虎立刻掉頭跑回森林裡。

 

接下來的幾天,這隻老虎天天都過來躲在樹叢中偷看這隻驢子,大概一個禮拜後這隻老虎習慣了驢子的叫聲。

這隻老虎習慣了驢子的叫聲後,牠鼓起了勇氣再次慢慢地走近這隻驢子。

老虎走到這隻驢子的背後,這隻驢子突然便舉起後腳踢這隻老虎。

老虎被攻擊後牠又再次掉頭跑回森林裡

 

接下來的幾天,這隻老虎天天都過來驢子附近並且嘗試接近這隻驢子,大概一個禮拜後這隻老虎發現驢子的攻擊方式只有用後腳踢。

 

老虎確認這隻驢子並沒有其他的技能之後,牠就找了一個機會撲殺這隻驢子並且吃掉這隻驢子。

 

柳宗元寫完這故事後他說。

這隻被吃掉的驢子若是可以保持沉著,不輕易的讓老虎知道自己其實沒有任何強大的技能,那麼這隻驢子可能就不會那麼快被吃掉,我們聽到這個故事的人應該用這個故事來讓自已警戒啊。

 

 

這句成語直接翻譯的意思是一隻沒有強大的本事的貴州的驢子

這句成語被用來形容一個人的技能很有限。

 

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。

你有專業的技能嗎?你是否有計畫地去學習一些專業的技能呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
