继续跟风”Fly in the face of danger“
7grizzly 又发了新的俚语“Fly in the face of danger”. 中文可以翻成”置身险境”.
中国历史上慷慨赴死的故事很多。今天就来说说一个大家耳熟能详的“荆轲刺秦“的故事。这里面有一个小人物秦舞阳。因为荆轲刺秦王，需要一个帮手。太子丹就帮他物色了秦舞阳，一个少年杀人犯。但荆轲对秦舞阳不满意，但奈何没有其他人选。只能跟秦舞阳一起“ Fly in the face of danger”， 并在大家饯行时，高歌一曲“风萧萧兮易水寒，壮士一去兮不复返“。
不出所料，这秦舞阳见到秦王不停地发抖。这样荆轲只好自己一个人干了，等图穷匕现时，荆轲没了帮手，因此错失了暗杀秦王的机会，反被诛杀，成千古绝唱。
这个故事又说明什么呢？这个故事说明了队友的重要性：不怕神一样的对手，就怕猪一样的队友。
7grizzly posted a new idiom “Fly in the face of danger”. In Chinese we can say “置身险境”.
There are lot of famous stories about “Fly in the face of danger” in Chinese history, “Jing Ke Assassinating King Qin” is one of them. And in this story, it mentioned a little guy Qin Wuyang. As Jing Ke wanted a helper for his mission, Prince Dan picked up Qin Wuyang, a young killer, to be Jing Ke’s assistant, although Jing Ke was dissatisfied with him. After singing a song in the farewell party, “The wind is rustling, the river is cold, a knight goes forth but never back!“, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang flied in the face of danger to Qin Kingdom.
As expected, Qin Wuyang kept trembling in Qin Palace, so Jing Ke had to execute the mission by himself and failed in the end.
This story illustrates the importance of teammates: Having a weak teammate is worse than having a strong opponent.
