【有眼不識泰山】
【有眼不識泰山】
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!”
對不起,我有眼不識泰山,不知道您是新來的經理。
他有眼不識泰山,竟然把市長當成了工人。
