Ye Long's Translation of Ancient Chinese.

Ye Gong likes dragons. Clothes hooks, wine vessels are carved with dragons, and bedrooms are decorated with dragons. He liked dragons so much that he was known by the real dragons in the sky. Then he descended from the sky and came to Ye Gong's home. The dragon head was placed on the window sill to visit, and the dragon tail arrived in the hall.

When Ye Gong saw that it was a real dragon, he turned and ran, scaring him like a lost soul, terrified and unable to control himself. From this point of view, Ye Gong doesn't really like dragons. He only likes dragons and the like, but he doesn't like dragons.

original text

Ye loves dragons, and only carved dragons on long hooks and wine vessels, and carved dragons at home. In this way, when he was known by the dragon in the sky, he fell from the sky to Ye Gong's home. Someone visited him on the windowsill, and his dragon tail reached into the hall. When Ye Gong saw a dragon, he turned around and ran away, scaring him like a lost soul, terrified and unable to control himself. Therefore, Ye doesn't really like dragons. He just likes things that look like dragons, not dragons.

Extended data:

meaning

This story satirizes the characters of Ye Formula with vivid metaphors, and profoundly exposes their bad thoughts and styles of high-sounding and unrealistic. Through this story, we should abandon the bad idea and style of "theory divorced from reality" and establish a good idea and style of seeking truth from facts. At the same time, it also satirizes people who are not worthy of the name and are not what they seem.

Discrimination of words

Ye Gong Long Hao means that he likes it on the surface, but in fact he doesn't like it. Be careful not to use the meaning backwards in actual use. The following example is the correct usage:

He talked angrily about how the society was corrupt, but secretly accepted bribes, which was no different from Ye Xiaolong.

My love for literature is not that Ye Gong loves dragons, but that I should gain more knowledge and broaden my horizons through my own efforts.
