Disaster seems to come suddenly(飛來橫禍)
There was a famous minister in the Eastern
Han Dynasty of China. His name was Zhou Rong. There is a story about him
recorded in the history books.
He said to his wife one day when he came
home.
My life may be in danger, and I may
suddenly meet with an unexpected disaster and die.
His wife asked.
Why do you say that? What has happened to
you?
He said to his wife.
My boss is a very sincere person. Both my boss
and I believe that many of the decisions made by the most powerful minister in
our central government are not conducive to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
So we submitted our views to the king and
publicly expressed our disagreement with the views of the most powerful
minister in the central government.
The most powerful minister was very angry
and sent his cronies to threaten me.
His cronies told me
Be careful when you go out, we have
arranged for many assassins to kill you.
Said his wife, nervous and worried after
hearing his words.
So what should we do? What should I do if
you have an accident?
He smiled at his wife.
If I really am murdered, don't take my body
home, don't help me arrange my funeral, don't help me prepare my coffin, just
leave my body where I died.
His wife asked him, confused.
Why are you asking me to do this?
He said seriously to his wife.
I want to use my dead body to remind the
king that there are big problems in our current central government. I want to
use my dead body to remind the king that our central government must be reformed
immediately.
The direct translation of this idiom is
that disaster seems to come suddenly.
This idiom is used to describe an
unexpected disaster that strikes suddenly.

飛來橫禍(Disaster seems to come suddenly)
中國的東漢王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做周榮，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
有一天，他回到家裡時對他的妻子說。
我可能會有生命危險，我可能會突然遭遇到意外災禍而死。
他的妻子問。
你為何會這樣說呢?你遇到了甚麼事呢?
他對他的妻子說。
我的長官是一個很正直的人，我與我的長官都認為我們現在中央政府內掌握最大權力的一個大臣所做的很多決策並不利於東漢王朝。
所以我們向國王提出我們的看法，我們公開地表示我們反對這個在中央政府內擁有最大權力的這個大臣所提出的意見。
這個擁有最大權力的這個大臣非常的生氣所以派遣他的親信來恐嚇我。
他的親信對我說。
你出門在外的時候要小心一點，我們已經安排了很多殺手準備暗殺你。
他的妻子聽到他的話後很緊張又很焦慮地說。
那我們該怎麼辦呢?如果你發生的意外我該怎樣做呢?
他笑著對他的妻子說。
如果我真的被暗殺了，你就不要去把我的屍體帶回家，你不要幫我安排喪禮，也不要幫我準備棺木，你就讓我的屍體一直留在我死去的那個地方。
他的妻子很疑惑地問他。
你為何要求我這樣做呢?
他很嚴肅的對他的妻子說。
我要用我的死去的屍體來提醒國王我們現在的中央政府內發生了很大的問題，我要用我死去的屍體來讓提醒國王我們的中央政府需要立刻進行改革。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是災禍就好像突然飛過來一樣。
這句成語被用來形容突然降臨的意外災禍。
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。
你曾經因為得罪別人而被恐嚇嗎?你願意為了甚麼事情犧牲自己的生命呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
