Relieving hunger with a picture of cakes
Once in the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280), the duke of the Wei, Cao Rui, planed to select a very capable man to work for him. He said to his ministers: 'When choosing a talented person, always beware of one with a false reputation. A false reputation is just like a picture of a cake; it can' t ease hunger.'
譯文
三國(guó)時(shí)代魏國(guó)的皇帝曹睿,準(zhǔn)備選拔一個(gè)有才能的人到朝廷來(lái)做官。曹睿對(duì)他的大臣說(shuō):“選擇人才,不能光找有虛名的人。虛名好像是畫的一塊餅,只能看,不能解決肚子饑餓的問(wèn)題啊!”
寓意
后來(lái)人們就用“畫餅充饑”這個(gè)成語(yǔ)比喻用空想安慰自己,不能解決實(shí)際問(wèn)題。
Later, this idiom came to be used to mean comforting oneself with unrealistic thoughts, without solving practical problems.
