夸父追日Kuāfù zhuī rì《山海经·海外北经》记载古代神话,有个夸父,为了追赶太阳,渴极了,喝了黄河、渭河的水还不够,又往别处去找水,半路上就渴死了。他遗下的木杖,后来变成一片树林,叫做邓林。后来用‘夸父追日’比喻决心大或不自量力。{KuaFu's race with the sun. According to an ancient myth in Book of Mountains and Seas·Northern Lands Beyond the Sea, a man called Kua Fu, feeling extremely thirsty from chasing after the sun, drank up all the water in the Yellow and Weihe rivers, but that was still not enough. He travelled elsewhere seeking water but died from thirst midway. The stick he left later turned into a wood, called Deng Wood. Now people use this phrase as a metaphor for a person with a strong will or who overestimates himself.} |
