Chinese Idioms

鵬程萬里

Péngchéngwànlǐ

據(jù)《莊子·逍遙游》記載,很久以前,遙遠(yuǎn)的北方有一片無邊無際的大海, 叫做天池。 里面住著一條巨大的魚, 名字叫鯤。 這條魚能夠變成一種叫做鵬的大鳥。鵬鳥展開翅膀就像天空里的一大片云。 當(dāng)它展翅高飛的時(shí)候,可以沖上幾萬里的高空, 也可以飛過很長的距離。 麻雀看到鵬鳥, 譏笑到: “我跳躍飛騰,在蓬蒿叢中自由自在,也是得意的飛行。為什么要費(fèi)勁飛到萬里高空呢?” 這個(gè)故事比喻目光短淺的人無法理解志向高遠(yuǎn)者的追求?，F(xiàn)在人們常用 “鵬程萬里” 這個(gè)成語來祝愿別人前程遠(yuǎn)大。

This story originates from Zhuangzi: A Happy Excursion. Once upon a time, a gigantic fish named Kun lived in the Celestial Lake, an immense sea in the north. The fish could change itself into an enormous bird named Peng. When the bird spread its wings, it looked like huge clouds in the sky. It could soar up a hundred thousand li and fly huge distances without resting. A sparrow saw it and laughed, saying, “When I jump and fly among the bushes, I feel free and content. What then can be the use of going up a hundred thousand li to start a long journey?” The story expresses that people with narrow views cannot understand those with aspirations. Nowadays people use this idiom to wish others a successful career or a bright future.
