南柯一梦Nánkē yī mèng淳于棼做梦到大槐安国做南柯太守,享尽富贵荣华,醒来才知道是一场大梦,原来大槐安国就是住宅南边大槐树下的蚁穴(见于唐李公佐《南柯太守传》)。后来用‘南柯一梦’泛指一场梦,或比喻一场空欢喜。{According to The Governor of the Southern Tributary by Li Gongzuo of the Tang Dynasty, a man by the name of Chunyu Fen once dreamed of becoming the Governor of the Southern Tributary or the ‘Great and Peaceful Kingdom of the Scholartree’ and enjoying all the comforts of luxury and pomp, only to wake up to the realization that the so-called ‘Great and Peaceful Kingdom of the Scholartree’ was none other than an ants’ nest under the big Chinese scholartree south of his house. From the story is derived the phrase, ‘the dream of the southern tributary’, meaning a fond dream or wishful thinking.} |
