甚囂塵上
甚囂塵上
戰國時代,晉國和楚國交戰。楚共王站在架有高臺的戰車上觀察晉軍的動靜。看了一會兒,楚王說:“那天人聲十分喧囂,而且塵土都飛揚起來了!”部下回答說:“這是他們在填井平灶,擺開陣勢要作戰啦。”
現在,“甚囂塵上”這個成語被用來形容軍中忙亂的狀態,也指消息普遍流傳,議論紛紛。現多用來指敵方狂妄叫囂。
Making a Great Clamor
Once in the Warring States Period (zhàn guó 戰國,481 - 386BC), the State of Jin (jìn guó 晉國) was at war with the State of Chu (chǔ guó 楚國). Duke Gong of Chu (chǔ gòng wáng 楚共王) stood on a high platform built on chariot and watched the movements of the Jin army. After watching for a while,he said,"It's quite noisy over there and cloud of dust has been stirred up." His aide answered, "The enemy are filling up wells and destroying their cooking stoves. They are preparring to fight."
This idiom is now used to mean a lot of commotion over hearsay.
