蜀犬吠日
蜀犬吠日
唐朝時期著名的文學家柳宗元,曾經講過一個“蜀犬吠日”的故事。在中國西南地區的四川省,那里的氣候多雨多霧,有時陰雨連綿、霧氣蒙蒙長達數月,一年四季很難看見太陽,結果那里的狗一見到太陽出來,都感到很驚奇,就大聲狂叫起來。
“蜀犬吠日”這個成語比喻少見多怪,對本來很平常的事情,由于見識短淺而感到奇怪。
A Sichuan Dog Barks At the Sun
A leading writer of the Tang Dynasty (táng cháo 唐朝,618-907AD) named Liu Zongyuan (liú zōng yuán 柳宗元),once told a story concerning an interesting phenomenon in Sichuan Province. In this basin area, you can hardly saw the sunshine since it was cloudy and foggy most of the year on account of its landform. Therefore, as long as the sun came out, the local dogs would become rather curious and exciting,barking loudly to the sun.
This idiom is used to indicate being surprised at something normal, due to one's ignorance.
