黔驢技窮
黔驢技窮
很久很久以前，在中國的貴州省并沒有驢。一天，有個多事的人用船運來了一頭驢，運來后卻發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有什么用處，就把驢拴在了山腳下的一棵樹上。
山上的老虎發(fā)現(xiàn)了這頭驢，覺得它體型龐大，看起來是個不好惹的家伙。于是，它躲在樹后面遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地觀望著。突然，驢子大叫了一聲，老虎被嚇壞了，以為這個怪物會咬它。但是出人意料的是，驢子并沒有采取任何行動。過了一會兒，老虎決定上前去挑釁毛驢。這一次，毛驢憤怒地用蹄子去踢老虎，但是卻非常笨拙無力。老虎心里想：“你的本領(lǐng)不過就是如此啊！”于是立刻撲過去，一口把它咬死吃掉了。這個成語比喻僅有的一點本事也用完了，再沒有別的辦法了。
At one's wit's end
Long long ago,in ancient China, there were no donkeys in Guizhou (guì zhōu 貴州) province. One day,a man brought a donkey from somewhere else by boating,only to found that the big animal was futile indeed,so he tied it to a tree at the foot of a hill.
A tiger happened to see the donkey,and thought it must be a powerful monster simply juding from its giant figure and hence dared not to get close to it. However,the tiger didn’t plan give up that early,instead,it hid behind a tree and observed the donkey secretly. Suddenly,the donkey brayed,the tiger was frightened to death,thinking the donkey was going to bite it. But to its surprise,the donkey took no action at all after the shout. Some time later,the tiger made its mind to come forward to provoke the donkey. The donkey became extremely angry this time,and tried hard to kick the tiger but fruitlessly. The tiger thought to itself:"It that then all the stupid donkey is capable of?" It then attacked the donkey fiercely and enjoyed a wonderful meal. This idiom now is used to refer to someone has used up his tricks.
