一箭双雕

“雕”是一种大鸟。这个成语的意思是说一个人很有本事,用一枝箭可以同时射下来两只大鸟。

在中国南北朝的时候,有一个人,叫长孙晟,他虽然书读得不多,但是武艺高强,尤其会射箭。皇帝派他出使突厥国。

突厥的国王摄图知道长孙晟的本领很好,非常赏识他,常邀他一起去骑马打猎。有一天他们又率领大队人马去打猎。他们到了森林以后没看见有什么野兽,很失望。

正在这时候,忽然听见天上一阵雕叫的声音。摄图抬头一看,原来是两只大雕在抢一块肉吃。摄图很高兴,就给长孙晟两枝箭,叫他射雕。

长孙晟拿起箭,“咻”的一声,两只雕就掉下来了。

大家都齐声叫好,说长孙晟真了不起,一枝箭一次能射下来两只雕。

因为这个故事,后代就用“一箭双雕”,或者“一举两得”,形容做一件事,可以达到两个目的。

 Transcript:

A diao is a big bird. The meaning of this idiom is that a skillful person can use one arrow to kill two big birds in the same shot.

During the Chinese Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a man named Chang Sun Chen. Although he did not study much, he was very good at martial arts. He was especially skilled at archery. The emperor ordered him to attack Tujue country.

The king of Tujue, She Tu, knew Chang Sun Chen was very skillful at shooting and often invited him to go hunting on horseback. One day, they led a team to go hunting. When they arrived at the forest, they did spot any animals and felt very disappointed as a result.

All of a sudden, they heard the sound of Diao. She Tu lifted his head and saw two big birds fighting over a scrap of meat. She Tu was very happy. He gave two arrows to Chang Sun Chen and asked him to shoot the Diao.

Chang Sun Chen took the arrows, shot them into the air, and watched as the two diao fell from the sky.

Everybody remarked on Chang Sun Chen’s skill. He could shoot two big birds with only one arrow. Later on, people used this story as a metaphor to describe doing one thing and achieving two goals.
