枕戈待旦

西晉人祖逖和劉琨，都是性格開(kāi)朗、仗義好俠的志士。年輕時(shí)不但文章寫(xiě)得好，而且都喜歡練武健身，決心報(bào)效祖國(guó)。當(dāng)時(shí)，晉朝表面上還管轄著中原大地，但實(shí)際上已是內(nèi)憂外患，風(fēng)雨飄搖了。

祖逖和劉琨一談起國(guó)家局勢(shì)，總是慷慨萬(wàn)分，常常聊到深夜。一天，祖逖又和劉琨談得十分興奮，劉琨不知什么時(shí)候睡著了，祖逖卻久久沉浸在談話的興奮之中，不能入睡?！班福福福被脑系男垭u叫了起來(lái)，祖逖一躍而起，踢醒了劉琨：“聽(tīng)，這雄雞啼鳴多么振奮人心呀，快起來(lái)練劍吧！”于是，兩人操起劍來(lái)，在高坡上對(duì)舞。從此，他倆每天清早聽(tīng)到頭一聲?shū)Q叫，一定來(lái)到荒原上抖擻神練起劍來(lái)。劉琨被祖逖的愛(ài)國(guó)熱情深深感動(dòng)，決心獻(xiàn)身于祖。一次他給家人的信中寫(xiě)道：“在國(guó)家危難時(shí)刻，我經(jīng)常‘枕戈待旦’（枕著兵器睡覺(jué)一直到天明），立志報(bào)國(guó)，常擔(dān)心落在祖逖后邊，不想他到底走到我的前頭了！……”

故事出自《晉書(shū)?祖逖傳》。“枕戈待旦”出自劉琨《與親故書(shū)》，形象地寫(xiě)出了劉琨隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備殺敵報(bào)國(guó)的決心。后來(lái)用作成語(yǔ)，形容時(shí)刻警惕敵人，準(zhǔn)備作戰(zhàn)。

枕戈待旦英文

to maintain combat readiness

In the Western Jin Dynasty (xī jìn 西晉) there were two young men.One of them was Zu Ti and the other was Liu Kun. Both of them were men of ideals and integrity who were chivalrous and of a sanguine disposition. They not only wrote excellent articles but also were fond of practising martial arts to keep fit, in order to render meritorious service to the country. Both of them were chief clerks responsible for document administration in Luoyang. Although in appearance the Jin
Dynasty had jurisdiction of the Central Plains comprising the middle and lower reaches of the Haunch and threatened by foreign invasion.

Zu Ti and Liu Kun often talked about the country's situation till late into the night, and each time they talking very excitedly again.Liu Kun fell asleep without knowing it,but Zu Ti was too excited to fall asleep." Cock-a-doodle-doo,"came the crow of rooster in the wasteland.Zu Ti jumped up and kicked Liu Kun awake:" Listen.How inspiring the rooster's crow is.Let's get up and practised on a slope.From then on, they kept practising sword playing vigorously and energetically in the wasteland every day when they heard the first crow in the morning. Deeply moved by Zu Ti's patriotic passion, Liu Kun was determined to devote himself to his homeland. Once he wrote to his family:"At the time when the country is in dire peril, I am resolved to dedicate myselt to the service of my country. I often fear that I might lag behind Zu Ti in rendering service to the country, and, in fact, I am behind him..."

The words" sleep with my head pillowed on a spear, waiting for the day to break"vividly described Liu Kun's determination to dedicate himself to the service of the country and to fight the enemy at any time. Later, this set phrase is used to mean maintaining sharp vigilance and being ready to fight at any time."
