成语 寓言故事 :Losing One's Head忘乎所以

The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating man's behavior.

南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distiller's grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure them into traps and cursed:

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂:

"Humph! Do you think we don't know your tricks? We'll never be taken in!"

“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

So they called one another, turned round and left.

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldn't bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation, they finally said to themselves:

但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说:

"Just for a taste of the wine. It won't matter as long as we don't get drunk."

“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

One day, a high official wanted to amuse himself in a temple.

一天，有一个大官，要到寺院里去游玩。

His subordinates notified the monks in the temple three days in advance to prepare a good meal on time. So all the monks in the temple busied themselves with the preparation.

他的手下人便在三天前就通知寺院里的和尚，准时备好饭菜。于是，寺院里所有的和尚，都忙着张罗了起来。

The temple was situated in a remote mountain, surrounded by bamboo groves, and very tranquil. After the high official had strolled about for a while, he was very pleased. While dining, he recited lines from a poem of the Tang Dynasty:

寺院坐落在深山里，四面都是竹林，的确非常清静。大官游玩了一番之后，非常高兴，一面吃饭，一面吟起了唐人的诗句:

"Passing through the bamboo courtyard and meeting a monk,A half day's leisure is gained in this fleeting life."

“因过竹院逢僧话，又得浮生半日闲。”

When the old monk heard these lines of the poem, he couldn't help laughing.

老和尚听了诗句，不觉笑了起来。

The high official asked hastily:

大官连忙问道:

"What are you laughing about?"

“你笑什么?”

The old monk replied:

老和尚回答道:

"Your Honour have indeed gained a half day's leisure, but I have been busy for three whole days."

“您老人家固然清闲了半天，可是我老和尚却已经忙了整整三天!”

成语（chengyu,idioms）是中国汉字语言词汇中定型的词。大为四字，亦有三字，五字甚至七字以上的成语。成语是中国传统文化的一大特色，有固定的结构形式和固定的说法，表示一定的意义，在语句中是作为一个整体来应用的，承担主语、宾语、定语等成分。

成语有很大一部分是从古代相承沿用下来的，在用词方面往往不同于现代汉语，它代表了一个故事或者典故。有些成语本就是一个微型的句子。 成语又是一种现成的话，跟习用语、谚语相近，但是也略有区别。成语是中华文化中一颗璀璨的明珠。

成语，众人皆说，成之于语，故成语。
