對(duì)外解析中國(guó)成語(yǔ)：畫(huà)蛇添足
導(dǎo)語(yǔ)：畫(huà)蛇添足原意為畫(huà)蛇時(shí)給蛇添上腳。后比喻做了多余的事，非但無(wú)益，反而不合適。下面YJBYS小編對(duì)外解析畫(huà)蛇添足，歡迎參考!
Draw a snake and add feet to it
An official of the ancient State of Chu awarded a pot of wine to his men after the ceremony of Spring Sacrifice. One man said, "We have only one pot of wine. It's not enough for all of us but sufficient for one. Let's determine who'll have the wine by drawing a snake on the ground. He who finishes first will have the wine."
The others agreed. Very soon, one man finished his snake. He was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing. He said complacently ,"How slowly you are !I still have enough time to add feet to my snake." But before he finished the feet, another man finished his snake and grabbed the pot from him, saying, "Whoever has seen a snake with feet? Yours is not a snake. So the wine should be mine!" He drank the wine. The man adding feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his foolishness.
From that story comes the idiom "Draw a snake and add feet to it". Now people use this idiom to illustrate the truth that going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
楚國(guó)有一個(gè)官員，在春天祭過(guò)了祖宗之后，便將一壺酒賞給他的辦事人員喝。有人提議：“我們只有一壺酒，肯定不夠我們大家喝的，一個(gè)人喝倒是綽綽有余。我們每人在地上畫(huà)一條蛇，誰(shuí)畫(huà)得最快，就把這壺酒給他。” 大家都同意了。有一個(gè)人很快就把蛇畫(huà)好了。他正打算喝這壺酒時(shí)，看見(jiàn)別人都還忙著畫(huà)呢。他就得意揚(yáng)揚(yáng)地說(shuō)：“你們畫(huà)得好慢呀，等我再畫(huà)上幾只腳吧!” 他的蛇腳還沒(méi)畫(huà)完，另一個(gè)人已經(jīng)把蛇畫(huà)好了。那人把酒壺奪了過(guò)去說(shuō)：“有誰(shuí)見(jiàn)過(guò)長(zhǎng)腳的蛇?你畫(huà)的'不是蛇，這壺酒應(yīng)該是我的了。”說(shuō)罷，就喝起酒來(lái)。那個(gè)給蛇畫(huà)腳的人沒(méi)辦法，只能懊悔自己的愚蠢。
“畫(huà)蛇添足”這個(gè)成語(yǔ)就是從這個(gè)故事來(lái)的。現(xiàn)在人們用它來(lái)說(shuō)明這么個(gè)道理：做的過(guò)分和做的不夠是一樣有害的。
