畫餅充饑
閱讀 : 次
In the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280), the king of the Wei, Cao Rui, wanted to select a very capable man to work for him. He said to his ministers: 'When choosing a talented person, always beware of one with a false reputation. A false reputation is just like a picture of a cake; it can' t relieve hunger.'
Later, this idiom came to be used to mean comforting oneself with unrealistic thoughts, without solving practical problems.
【中文譯文】
三國(guó)時(shí)代魏國(guó)的皇帝曹睿，準(zhǔn)備選拔一個(gè)有才能的人到朝廷來(lái)做官。曹睿對(duì)他的大臣說(shuō)：“選擇人才，不能光找有虛名的人。虛名好像是在地上畫的一塊餅，只能看，不能解決肚子饑餓的問(wèn)題啊！”
后來(lái)人們就用“畫餅充饑”這個(gè)成語(yǔ)比喻用空想安慰自己，不能解決實(shí)際問(wèn)題。
