聚斂無厭(She uses every means to accumulate
money and hoards it for herself without ever growing weary.)
中國的晉王朝有一個著名的官員，他的名字叫做王衍(西元256-西元311)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他曾經掌管晉王朝的軍事系統，這個職位類似現代的國防部長。
他的家族是晉王朝著名的的家族之一，他的家族中有許多人擔任晉王朝中央政府內的重要官員。
他擁有非常成功的人生但是他並不快樂，因為他的妻子令他感到非常的厭煩。
他的妻子的父親是當時一個非常著名的大臣，他與他的妻子是一場政治聯姻。
他的妻子的個性非常的非常的強硬，她的妻子很固執堅持自己的看法與做法，他的妻子並不聰明但是她常常利用自己所掌握的權力干預別人的事情，而且他的妻子非常的貪財，她的妻子想盡各種方法去累積金錢並把這些錢匯集到自己的身上而且從來不感到厭煩。
王衍非常不喜歡她的妻子的這些行為，但是他又無法改變她的妻子，所以當他下班回到家後，他看到他的妻子的時候都感到很不快樂。
當時有一個著名的將軍，這個將軍的名字叫做李陽。
李陽是一個非常有名望的人，李陽非常的威嚴也非常的正直，他在他的家鄉中
是一個非常受到敬畏的人。
王衍的妻子跟李陽是同鄉人，所以她從小就對李陽充滿了畏懼。
有好幾次，當王衍看到她的妻子用極度不正當的方式去取得了錢財之後，他就會對他的妻子說，你如果繼續這樣用這種那麼不正當的方式去取得錢財，那麼我會告訴李陽。
王衍的妻子聽到這話後，她就害怕的收斂了自己的行為。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是她想盡各種方法去累積金錢並把這些錢匯集到自己的身上而且從來不感到厭煩。
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常的貪財。
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。
你跟她的伴侶的關係好嗎?當你看到你的伴侶的缺點時，你有想到自己的缺點嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。

She uses every means to accumulate money
and hoards it for herself without ever growing weary.(聚斂無厭)
There was a famous official named Wang Yan
(256–311 AD) in the Jin Dynasty of China.
History records his story.
He once commanded the military system of
the Jin Dynasty, a position similar to Minister of Defence in the modern era.
His family was one of the most prominent in
the dynasty, with many members holding important positions in the central
government.
Although he had a very successful life, he
was unhappy because his wife greatly annoyed him.
Her father was a prominent minister at the
time, and their marriage was a political alliance.
She had a strong personality and was
stubborn, insisting on her own opinions and methods. Although she wasn't
intelligent, she often used her power to interfere in other people's affairs.
Furthermore, she was extremely greedy.
She uses every means to accumulate money
and hoards it for herself without ever growing weary.
Wang Yan disliked his wife's behaviour
deeply, but he couldn't change her. Consequently, he was unhappy whenever he
returned home from work to see her.
At that time, there was a famous general
named Li Yang.
He was a very prestigious man, extremely
dignified and upright, and highly respected in his hometown.
Wang Yan's wife was from the same hometown
as Li Yang and had always feared him.
On several occasions when Wang Yan saw his
wife acquiring wealth through extremely dishonest means, he would threaten her,
saying, "If you continue to acquire wealth in such dishonest ways, I will
tell Li Yang."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's wife,
fearful, restrained her behaviour.
This idiom directly translates to "she
uses every means to accumulate money and hoards it for herself without ever
growing weary".
It is used to describe someone who is
extremely greedy.
