一诺千金 Yí Nuò Qián Jīn



一诺千金 Yí Nuò Qián Jīn


        秦朝末年,有个叫季布的人。他喜欢帮助别人,受到了很多人的赞扬。他有个特点:只要他答应了的事情,不论困难多大,他就算倾家荡产,也会想办法做好。因此他的朋友非常多。 

In the end of Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu who liked to help people and received praise from others. Ji Bu has a characteristic that as long as he promised, no matter how difficult it was, he would try to make it even if he broke the bank. Therefore, he had many friends.


       季布原来在项羽手下做事,出了不少力气,曾经帮助项羽多次打败刘邦。项羽兵败自杀后,刘邦悬赏捉拿季布。然而,由于季布的名声好,总是有人保护他,一直没捉到。后来有人说情,刘邦赦免了季布,还给了他一个官职。

Ji Bu was originally worked for Xiang Yu. He put in the most efforts to help Xiang Yu defeat Liu Bang many times. After Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide, Liu Bang offered a reward to catch Ji Bu. However, due to his good reputation, many people protected him so he was never caught. Later, because someone pled mercy for him, Liu Bang pardoned him and gave him an official position.


       一个叫曹邱生的人想结交季布,但是季布非常讨厌他。曹邱生没有生气,他对季布说:"您知道我们是同乡。人们常说"得一千两黄金,不如得到季布的一句诺言",这是我到处替您宣扬的结果,可是您为什么总是拒绝我呢?"季布听完曹邱生的话,非常高兴,马上改变了态度,将他当做上宾来招待。

A man named Cao Qiusheng wanted to make friends with Ji Bu. But Ji Bu annoyed him very much. Cao Qiusheng was not angry and said to Ji Bu, "You know we are fellow villagers. People often said, 'It is worth getting Ji Bu's promise than a thousand gold'. It is the result that I advocate for you all around. So why you always turned down me?" Ji Bu was very happy when he heard Cao Qiusheng's words and changed his attitude to treat him as a guest of honor.
