\u6bdb\u9042\u81ea\u8350 (Máo Suí zìjiàn): to volunteer for a task; to recommend oneself for a difficult job<\/p>\n

Idiom Story:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Máo Suí zài Zhàoguó d\u0101ile s\u0101n nián, què yìzhí bú bèi zhòngyòng.

In ancient China, there was a man named Mao Sui. He stayed in the country of Zhao for three years with its leaders paying no attention to his humble existence.<\/p>\n

Yícì, Zhàoguó bèi Qínguó j\u016bnduì wéig\u014dng, x\u016byào xu\u01cen èrshí ge rén qù Ch\u01d4guó qiújiù.

One day, Zhao was attacked by the country of Qin. The Emperor decided to choose 20 men to go to the nearby country of Chu for help.<\/p>\n

Zhàoguó ti\u0101ole shíji\u01d4 ge rén, dàn zuìhòu hái qu\u0113 yí ge rén.
\u8d75\u56fd         \u6311\u4e86    19   \u4e2a  \u4eba\uff0c\u4f46    \u6700\u540e     \u8fd8   \u7f3a   \u4e00\u4e2a\u4eba\u3002<\/p>\n

After drawn out debate, 19 were chosen, leaving one vacancy.<\/p>\n

Yúshì Máo Suí zh\u01d4dòng shu\u014d: "w\u01d2 k\u011by\u01d0." Dàn dàole Ch\u01d4guó, què sh\u01d0zh\u014dng tán bù ch\u016b jiégu\u01d2.
\u4e8e\u662f    \u6bdb    \u9042    \u4e3b\u52a8       \u8bf4\uff1a“\u6211  \u53ef\u4ee5\u3002”\u4f46 \u5230\u4e86    \u695a\u56fd\uff0c  \u5374    \u59cb\u7ec8       \u8c08  \u4e0d  \u51fa   \u7ed3\u679c\u3002<\/p>\n

Mao Sui volunteered simply saying: "I can do the job." They arrived in Chu. After long and tiresome pleadings no offer of aid was given.<\/p>\n

Máo Suí kàn shíji\u0101n bù d\u011bng rén, jiù ch\u014dng dào le Ch\u01d4wáng miànqián,
\u6bdb      \u9042  \u770b    \u65f6\u95f4   \u4e0d   \u7b49    \u4eba\uff0c\u5c31  \u51b2       \u5230    \u4e86 \u695a\u738b        \u9762\u524d\uff0c
b\u01ce ch\u016b b\u012bng jiù Zhào duì Ch\u01d4guó y\u01d2u lì de dàoli xiángxì de f\u0113nx\u012b g\u011bi Ch\u01d4wáng t\u012bng.
\u628a   \u51fa   \u5175    \u6551  \u8d75    \u5bf9   \u695a\u56fd       \u6709 \u5229\u7684   \u9053\u7406  \u8be6\u7ec6    \u5730   \u5206\u6790 \u7ed9   \u695a\u738b      \u542c\u3002<\/p>\n

Mao Sui considered the issue as life-and-death, so he rushed to the Emperor of Chu and shrewdly listed the advantages in aiding Zhao.<\/p>\n

Jiégu\u01d2 Ch\u01d4wáng d\u0101ying m\u01ceshàng ch\u016b b\u012bng, Qínj\u016bn hòulái jiù chètuì le.

Finally, the emperor of Chu agreed to help, leading to the tyrant army of Qin leaving the country of Zhao.<\/p>\n
