老马识途
(第四十五课)


  管仲、卩显朋跟随齐桓公去攻打孤竹国,春去冬归,迷了道路。管仲说:“老马识途啊,我们可以利用它的智慧。”于是让老马带路,并跟着它前进,终于找到了路。

  【赏析】“老马识途”这个寓言后来被人们用来比喻富有经验的人可以作为人们的向导。

AN OLD HORSE KNOWS THE WAY
(Lesson 45)

  【An Idiomatic Story】

  Accompanied by Guanzhong and Xipeng Qi Huangong the duke of the state of Qi went to assault the state of Guzhu. They set off in spring and returned in winter. But they lost their way. ″An old horse knows the way.″ said Guanzhong ″We could take advantage of its wisdom.″ So they made an old horse lead the way and followed it and they found their way home in the end.
