惊弓之鸟

Birds Startled by the Mere Twang of a Bowstring

战国时期（公元前403―221年中国中原地区各诸侯国连年争战的时代）魏国有个名叫更羸的人。一天，他对国王说：“我只要拉开弓，空射一下，就能把天上的鸟射下来。”国王不相信。更羸便对准天上飞来的一只雁射去，果真那只雁听到拉弦的声音就掉了下来。国王感到很奇怪。更羸说，“那是一只受过伤的雁。它一听到我拉开弓弦的声响，就惊慌得支持不住，自然要掉下来了。”

In the Warring States Period, there was a man in the State of Wei called Geng Lei. One day he said to the king: 'I can shoot down birds by simply plucking my bowstring.' When the king expressed doubt, Geng Lei pointed his bow at a wild goose flying in the sky, twanged the bowstring, and the goose fell to the ground. Geng Lei said, 'This goose has been hurt in the past. Hearing the twang of the bowstring, it assumed that it was doomed. So it simply gave up trying to live.'

“惊弓之鸟”这个成语比喻受过惊恐之后，有一点动静就特别害怕。

This idiom means that if one has been frightened in the past one's will may become paralysed in a similar situation.

After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.。

During the War Period ,in the Wèi State there lived a famous archer named Gēng léi. One day,Gēng léi and the King of Wei standing on a high terrace saw some birds flying past. At this Gēng léi said to the King:"I'll shoot a flying bird down for YourMajesty by drawing a bow with no arrow." The King asked,"Is it possible that one's archery can attain such a level?" A little later,a wild goose was flying from the east. Gēng léi just drew his bow but didn't shoot an arrow. As expected,the wild goose fell to the ground with the twang. The King asked in surprise,"How can your archery reach such a high level?" Gēng léi replied ,"This wild goose has been wounded." The King got more surprised,asking,"How do you know it,sir?" Gēng léi esplained,"This wild goose flew slowly and cried sadly.Its flying slowly suggested that it was still aching with the old wound; its crying sadly suggested that it had strayed long from its flock.When it heard the twang the wild goose had to flutter hard to fly high for its life.So it is evitably fell down with its old wound burst." ============================= 刻舟求剑 Making His Mark (Ke Zhou Qiu Jian) A man from the state of Chu was crossing a river.
