英语成语故事：唇齿相连
During the Spring and Autumn Period (708 - 476 B.C.), Duke Xian of the State of Jin Wanted to expand his position of strength and sphere of influence. Therefore he would like to send his troops to destroy the State of Guo on the pretest that the State of Guo often encroached on theborders of the State of Jin. But there was a third state, the State of
Yu,between the State of Jin and the State of Guo, and the Jin army had to cross the State of Yu before it could reach the State of Guo .
"How can my army cross the State of Yu without a hitch?" Duke Xian of the State of Jin asked his ministers.Xun Xi , one of the ministers, said, "The monarch of the State of Yu
is short - sighted and covets small advantages. If we give him priceless precious stones and fine horses, it is not unlikely that he will allow our army to pass through his country. " Seeing that Duke Xian of the State of Jin was a little bit grudging, Xun Xi continued to say, "The State of Yu and the State of Guo are neighbor stated as closely
related as lips and teeth. The State of Yu cannot exist independently if the state of Guo is destroyed. Your precious stones and fime hores are just left in the care of the monarch of the State of Yu." So Duke Xian of the State of Jin accepted Xun Xi's plan. When the monarch of Yu saw the precious gifts, he was elated,and readily promised to let the Jin army pass through his state.
Hearing the news, Gong Zhiqi, one of the ministers as the State of Yu, hastened to admonish the monarch, saying," That won't do.For the State of Yu and the State of Guo are
neighbor states as closely related as lips and teeth. Our two small states are interdependent, and can help cach other when problems crop up .If the State of Guo were destroyed, it would be difficult for our State of Yu to continue to exist. As the common saying goes, if the lips are gone ,the teeth will be cold, The teeth can hardly be kept if the lips are gone. So it won't do at all to allow the Jin army pass our state." The monarch of the State of Yu said," The State of Jin is a big state. Now they here specially to present gifts to us with the intention of being on friendly terms with us. Under suchcircumstances, how can we refuse to allow them to pass through our state?" Hearing this, Gong Zhiqi sighed repeatedly. Knowing that the State of Yu would soon be destroyed, Gong Zhiqi left the State of Yu together with his whole family.
As expected, the troops of the State of Jin, allowed to pass through the State of Yu, destroyed the State of Guo and on their return trip captured the monarch of the State of Yu who went out personally to meet them, htus destroying the State of Yu as Well.
This story appears in the chapter " The Fifth Year of Duke Xi " in Zuo zhuan,the famous commentary by Zuo Qiuming on The Spring and Autumn Annals. The set phrase " if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold " is used to mean that two persons or things share a common lot and that is one

【成语来源】 food handed out in contempt嗟来之食 One year during the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), there was a the Qi State (齐国) was severely strickend by a famine. 春秋时代，有一年齐国发生大饥荒。 Qian Ao (qián ào 黔敖), a very rich but arrogant man took the occasion to showcase his generosity through preparing food by the roadside and giving it to the passing refugees in charity. 有一位叫做黔敖有钱贵族，在街边准备食物分发给来往的难民，以显示自己的慷慨。 A man with shabby clothes happened to walk by with his shoes trailing along, he was so hungry as not to open his eyes. 有一个饥民，用衣袖蒙着脸，拖着鞋，饿得眼睛都睁不开的样子，慢慢地走过来。 Seeing the poor man, Qian Ao held the food by left hand and the drink by right hand, and shouted at him,"Hi, come to eat !” 黔敖见了，就左手拿着吃的，右手捧着喝的，向他喊道：“喂，来吃吧！” Hearing the word, the man glared his eyes and said, “It is because I am not willing to eat the food handed out in contempt that I have been famished to such a degree. " 那人一听这话，立即瞪着眼睛，说道：“我就是因为不吃…嗟来之食，才饿到这般地步的。" Though Qian Ao made an apology to him for that, the man still resolutely refused to eat the food and thus he died of hunger in the end. 尽管黔敖向他道歉，那人仍然坚决不吃，终于饿死了。 This set phrase now extensively denotes the disrespectful aims. This story means that a person who has a strong sense of self-respect would rather die of hunger than be despised. 此故事讲的是一个怀有强烈自尊心的人，宁可饿死也不肯接受人轻视。现在这个成语泛指带有侮辱性的施舍。 【文化链接】 中文中“嗟来之食”的意思就是“带有侮辱性的施舍”，英语直译就是“something handed out in contempt”，那如果是“主动去乞求帮助或是施舍”的话，英语该如何表达呢？ 英文中常用惯语有“come hat in hand”，也就是是乞求或请求别人“施舍”，求人给一些原本不属于你的东西，源自英国民俗，根据当时英国的民间习俗，当一个人穷困潦倒、无以为生时，就可以手持帽子，低声下气地向别人乞讨，以获取他人的同情，这是一种非常丢脸的行为，所以一般人除非迫不得已，否则是不会这样做的。 所以，come hat in hand 常用来比喻“走投无路”、“穷困潦倒”、“有求于人”。 例如： Retired workers need not come hat in hand to ask for supplementary allowance. （退休工人就不必卑躬屈膝地请求追加补助费了。） 精彩英语：

不久，他命人起草了废除科举制度的诏书，准备颁发下去。书还 未下达，地位略低于平章的参政许有王，又出来反对废除科举制度。 他对伯颜说：“如果废除科举考试制度，世上有才能的人都会怨恨的。”伯颜针锋相对地说：“如果继续实行科举考试制度，世上贪赃 枉法的人还要多。”许有王反驳说：“没有实行科举考试制度的时候，贪赃枉法的人也不是很多吗?”伯颜讽刺他说：“我看中举的人中有用 之材太少，只有你参政一个人能够任用!”许有王不服气，举出很多当 时中举的高官来反驳伯额。伯颜当然不会改变自己的观点，于是两人 争论得非常激烈。第二天，满朝文武被召到祟天门听读皇帝下达的废 除科举制席的诏书，许有王还特地被侮辱性地通知在班首听读。看来，皇帝特意要让这个反对者将诏书听得明白些。许有王心里非常不愿意，但又惧怕得罪皇帝遭到祸害，只好勉强跪在百官前列听读诏书。听读 完诏书后，百官纷纷回府，许有王满脸不高兴地低头走路。 有个名叫普化的御史特地走到他边上，凑着他的耳朵冷嘲热讽他说：“参政，你这下成为过河拆桥的人啦。这话的意思是，你许参政 是靠科举当官的，现在宣读皇上关于废除科举制度诏书，你跪在最前面，似乎是废除科举制度的领头人，就像一个人过了桥后就把桥拆掉 一样。许有王听了又羞又恨，加快步伐离开。之后他借口有病，再也 不上朝了。
