內容簡介

  The cunning fox's tiger power (狐假虎威)
  Good teamwork to achieve wicked goals (狼狽為奸)
  A one-trick donkey (黔驢技窮)
  There are hundreds more of these Chinese idioms (chengyu) that pack a lot of meaning into four characters.

  Many of these Chinese idioms originate from historical events, classics, and folklore; they give us valuable insights into Chinese culture, history, and literature.

  Aimed at English learners, The Magic Four groups together some of these well-known stories with animals as its theme.

  Each story is accompanied with extra learning elements:
  • The literal and figurative meanings of the Chinese idiom;
  • A similar idiom/phrase in the English language;
  • Definitions of useful vocabulary words in the story;
  • Meanings of different idioms/phrases used in the stories and examples.

  Not only will you gain insight into Chinese wisdom accumulated for centuries but also learn fun aspects of the English language too!

目錄

Don't rock the boat
投鼠忌器
Cast pearls before swine
對牛彈琴
The cunning fox's tiger power
狐假虎威
No such thing as a free lunch
守株待兔
Talk the talk, but not walk the walk
葉公好龍
The final touch
畫龍點睛
An old hand
老馬識途
A bad apple that spoils the bunch
害群之馬
A blessing in disguise
塞翁失馬
Straying from the right path
歧路亡羊
Better late than never
亡羊補牢
Strike while the iron is hot
聞雞起舞
At a loss for words
呆若木雞
An inflated sense of self
螳臂當車
Broaden your horizons
井底之蛙
Profiting from a stalemate
鷸蚌相爭
Drop-dead gorgeous
沉魚落雁
Good teamwork to achieve wicked goals
狼狽為奸
A one-trick donkey
黔驢技窮
Can't see the wood from the trees
盲人摸象

  You may be wondering why this book titled The Magic Four...

  The magic is that with just four Chinese characters, you can take a wide peek into the rich history and culture of China.

  Chinese idioms, or Chengyu, are like little time capsules - each one of these 20 idioms carries stories of former dynasties, from intrigue and mind games in the royal court, to generals strategising on the battlefield, to glimpses of daily life in ancient China.

  This volume – the first one in a set of three – is based on animals. The idioms include a mantis who thinks it is strong that it can stop a carriage; a farmer who thinks he can just wait for a rabbit to crash into a tree so he can take one home for dinner every night; and even mythical creatures such as the dragon who unexpectedly pays its superfan a visit only to be disappointed.

  Not only does the book have the literal meaning of each Chinese idioms, it also shows what the idioms actually mean today. A similar idiom in the English language is provided with an example of its use; in addition, four extra English words and two English idioms/phrases used in each story are explained, and sentences examples of idioms/phrases are given to show how they are used in the correct context.

  Reading these stories will help you gain a greater appreciation of Chinese wisdom accumulated over thousands of years. So, turn the page and get ready to be enchanted by The Magic Four!

Catherine Chan, Simon Lau & William Ma
