字词 | 为渊驱鱼,为丛驱雀 |
释义 | ‘为渊驱鱼者,獭也;为丛驱爵者,鹯也’(爵: 同‘雀’)。意思是水獭想捉鱼吃,却把鱼赶到深渊去了;鹞鹰想捉麻雀吃,却把麻雀赶到丛林中去了。后来用这两句话比喻不善于团结人或笼络人,把可以依靠的力量赶到敌人方面去。{Mencius·Li Lou (I): ‘It is the otter which drives the fish into deep waters; and it is the hawk that drives the sparrows into the thickets.’ It means that the otter wants to eat fish, but it drives the fish into deep water; and the hawk wants to eat sparrow, but it drives the sparrows into the thickets. The two phrases are used later to liken sb. who is not capable of uniting others or winning favour from others, but drives his friends over to the side of the enemy.} |
