【有眼不識泰山】

 

有眼不識泰山

To entertain an angel unawares



 

In ancient times of China, there was a very famous carpenter named Lu Ban,

 


who was very strict with his apprentices.

 


From time to time, he would eliminate those who fooled around and didn’t work hard.

 



One of his many apprentices, a young man Tai Shan was kicked out because of his slow improvement of arts.

 


Several years past, when Lu Ban saw lots of well-made furniture in the market, he wanted to know the man who made them.

 


He asked people around him about the name of the carpenter and became so shocked when he got to know that the person who made the furniture was exactly Lu Ban, the apprentice that he kicked out years ago.

 


Lu Ban felt so ashamed and sighed : “I was so arrogant to identify Tai Shan!”

 


E.g.

 

I'm sorry for being too ignorant to recognize you. I don't know you are the new manager.

 

 

 

He is so careless that he regards the mayor as a worker.

 


魯班是中國古代著名的木匠,對徒弟要求很嚴格。

 


他每隔一段時間就要從徒弟中淘汰不努力工作的人。

 


有一年,有個叫泰山的年輕人因為技藝長進不大,而被魯班辭掉了。

 


幾年後,魯班在市集上見到一群製作精巧的家具,想認識製造這些家具的高手。

 


於是,魯班便向當地人打聽製作這些家具的人的名字,當聽說他就是被自己趕走的泰山時,非常吃驚。

 


魯班感到非常慚愧,並且嘆道:“我真是有眼不識泰山啊!”
