束之高閣
束之高閣
在東晉的時候，有兩個著名的玄學家，一個叫殷浩，一個叫杜義。雖然玄學很虛幻，但是他們還是很喜歡進行它的研究，并取得了一些成就。
那個時候，一個名叫庾翼的著名的將軍當時正想收復北方，想請一些有才能的人幫他共同完成這項任務。當時，有很多人建議將軍啟用很有名氣的殷浩。但是經過慎重的一番考慮之后，庚冀打消了這個念頭，認為這些玄學家雖然在玄學方面很有想法但是，其實在實際的作戰(zhàn)中，他們并不能幫上多少忙。他常對人說：“杜義、殷浩這類人，只能把他們像東西那樣捆起來，放在高高的樓閣上面不去管它。等天下太平了，再考慮讓他們出來做些事。”
后來，“束之高閣”就被用來形容把東西放著不用。
To be put in the attic
During the Eastern Tsin Dynasty (dōng jìn 東晉,317—420AD),there were two tremendously talented young men named Yin Hao (yīn hào 殷浩) and Du Yi (dù yì杜義) ,both gained their big fame through metaphysics (xuán xúe 玄學) study.
At that time,Yu Yi (yǘ yì 庾翼),a famous general who attempted to reclaim the North area found himself in a urgent situation of talents shortage. One day,some officials strongly recommended that the two meta-physicists serve as his think tank. However,after serious consideration,he responded: "Though the two have household names across the kingdom concerning the metaphysics,they are rather high-hearted and pretty impractical. On accout of this,we just can’t take the risk to rely on such kind of persons in the battlefileds. They shall be tied up in and put in the high attic until the country come to it’s peace and prosperity."
Since then,this idiom"To be put in the attic"is used to refer putting something away without using it.
