5/28 網路功課 你知道為什麼我們說不管三七二十 一, 不說三八二十四嗎???


今天剛好看到了“不管三七二十一”一詞 的來歷,和大家分享:

跟據司馬遷『史記˙蘇秦列傳』記載“戰國時代,有一次,蘇秦到了齊國都城臨淄,見到了齊宣王,要進行遊說抗秦。齊宣王談到齊國的兵力不足,蘇秦說,都城臨淄有七萬戶,每戶按3個男子服役,這就是三七二十一萬兵,抗 秦的兵源,僅臨淄一城,就足夠了。

  蘇秦的這個算法,當然是不切合實際情況的,因為全城不可能每戶都有3個男子當兵。因為還有老、幼、病、殘在內。

 後來,人們把“不管三七二十一”作為譏喻的貶義詞來相傳,並且在含意上有所擴展,成了不 問是非,不分青紅皂白,蠻幹的同義俗語而應用在社會生活方面了。



Ok 歷史故事大家可能都知道, 那麼英文怎麼說呢?

do not care if three times seven equals 21. ?????????? 當然不是

正解為 despite the consequences

[dɪs'paɪt] 不管 [ˋkɑnsə͵kwɛns] 後果

Despite the consequences, he finished all the food. 不管三七二十一, 他吃完了。
