Chinese Idiom 惊弓之鸟

战国时期，有个杰出的弓箭手，叫做更赢。他的射箭本领在当时可称是举世无双。 有一天，他和魏王并肩站着，天空中忽然飞过一群鸿雁。更赢很自信的对魏王说：“我可以用弓声就把飞鸟给打下来。”魏王很怀疑。正在那时，一只孤雁很低很慢的飞过。鸣声凄惨。更赢见了，就张着弓，扣着弦，砰的一声，直入云宵。那孤雁果然应声落地。魏王惊叹之余，不明白这是怎么回事。更赢解释说：“那孤雁飞得低且慢，因为它已经受过伤；它鸣叫的声音悲而哀，因为它离了群。身伤心碎，使它心跳加速，两翼无力，体重失去平衡，正如人们吃饭时，突然听见雷声，筷子落地的情况一样自然而平常。”
后人根据上面的故事，做成了"惊弓之鸟"这个成语，形容先前多次受过惊吓的人，忽然遇到同样可怕的事物，就吓得魂飞魄散，惊惶失措，不知如何去应付新的环境。
