<< review queue entry 67643 - submitted by 'shawkynasr' >> 故事：公元前688年，楚文王领兵攻打申国途中路过邓国。邓祁侯说，这是我的外甥，把他留住而予以热情招待。邓祁侯的另外三个外甥建议乘此机会杀掉楚文王，邓祁侯不同意。三个外甥说，将来灭亡邓国的，必定是这个人，如不及早把他杀了，您将会“噬脐莫及”。邓祁侯不听。公元前678年，邓国被楚文王消灭。（国学） 例句：希望你能趁早回头，以免噬脐莫及。（汉英成语词典，2006） Hope you can mend your ways as soon as possible, otherwise it may be too late. http://www.guoxuedashi.com/diangu/1699g/ |
