字词 | 唾面自干 |
释义 | ‘其弟守代州,辞之官,教之耐事。弟曰: 人有唾面,洁之乃已。师德曰: 未也,洁之,是违其怒,正使自干耳’)。{Have one's face spat upon and let the spittle dry without wiping it away — meekly submit to humiliation; swallow an insult in meek submission. According to New History of Tang·Biography of Lou Shide, when his younger brother bade him farewell before assuming the post as commander of Daizhou Prefecture, Lou told him to be tolerant. His brother said, ‘If someone spits in my face, I've got to wipe it clean.’ Shide replied, ‘No, that's not correct, for the man could become irritated if you wipe clean the spittle. The correct way to face such an insult is to let the spittle dry.’} |
