Chapter 41 Who is messing around?

Dear Xiaowen: Mule is a mule, mole is a mole, and it can also be written as a rat.It is said in an ancient Chinese book that "the rat drinks the river, but its stomach is full", which means that its stomach capacity is very small. Mole's eyes are small and blind, and he can only see whether there is light or not, but he can't see anything, but he has a pair of very capable front feet, and he is best at digging holes. He piles the dug soil on the ground and becomes a mole hill , also called molehill. The English words about moles are all very interesting: Some old men are as blind as a mole. (Some old men are as blind as a mole.)

Argus at home, but a mole abroad. Argus is a hundred-eyed giant in Greek mythology. Argus-eyed is sharp-eyed, alert, and watchful. We badly need an Argus-eyed janitor. We badly need an Argus-eyed janitor. Why make a mountain of a molehill? Mountain (mountain) is of course much bigger than molehill, so the meaning of this sentence is: "Why make a fuss?" "Why make a fuss?" "Why exaggerate?" They promise mountains and perform molehills. What is promised is a mountain, what is made is a mole's nest.This means that people do not keep their promises, and it has the meaning of "talking big and making small money" in Chinese.There are many people in the world who are like this, always lying to others with empty words.There are many meanings of this kind in English:

He promises much and gives little. (He promises much and gives little.) A man apt to promise, is apt to forget. (Easy to promise and easy to forget.) He who lightly promise will seldom kept his word. Promises dont fill the belly. Mole is doing "underground activities" all day long. He is very busy, but he doesn't know what he is busy with. There is an English sentence: a molehill man It means a busy person.This is what Jia Baoyu, the hero of the famous Chinese novel, said about "being busy with nothing". dad August 22, 1974 Attachment: Have you received all the letters sent to you on the 4th, 10th, and 17th of this month?Letters from Uncle Hu on the 6th and Grandma on the 16th were received yesterday.
