Dear learn
Chinese online kids, welcome to visit our Chinese online class and today we
will help you to learn two Chinese idioms-“狐假虎威(Hu2Jia3Hu3Wei1)”
and “囫囵吞枣(hu2lun2tun1zao3)”. Besides, you can learn
tow interesting stories about them.
“狐假虎威(Hu2Jia3Hu3Wei1)”
Through our lesson
of online
Mandarin for kids you can know that long long ago a tiger in the
forest saw a fox and attempted to eat him. The fox cried out: “I’m the king of
animals designed by the Jade Emperor. If you walk with me in the forest, you
will see all other animals will be scared away by me.” The tiger did not
believe him and decided to follow the fox to have a walk in the forest and
found the other animals did run away as soon as they saw them.
Later Chinese
people the idiom “狐假虎威(hu2jia3hu3wei1)” to describe the
phenomenon that a person bully others by flaunting one’s powerful connections.
囫囵吞枣(hu2lun2tun1zao3)
In our Chinese
classes for kids you can also know that a doctor used to tell his
patients: “Pears are good to teeth but harmful to the spleen. Dates are just
the opposite: they benefit the spleen but do harm to the teeth.” Thinking of
himself clever, one of the patients said: “I’ve a clever idea that can avoid
these problems.” Would you tell us about it?” The doctor said, “Well,” answered
the patient, “when I eat a pear, I’ll only chew and not swallow it. So it can’t
harm my speech while when I eat a date, I’ll swallow it whole without chewing
so that my teeth won’t suffer.” The other people all sniggered: “But what about
your stomach? Wouldn’t that be too much for it?”
Later people use
the idiom “囫囵吞枣(hu2lun2tun1zao3)” to describe a person who
reads without much thinking or learning something without really understanding
it.
