用英语讲中国故事——Success is Xiao He, and failure is Xiao He 成也萧何,败也萧何

成也萧何,败也萧何

Success is Xiao He, and failure is Xiao He

这说的是韩信成为大将军是萧何推荐的,被杀也是萧何出的计策,这一成语形象地表达了事物发展的两面性,即同一个人或事物既能促成成功,也能导致失败。

This means that Han Xin became a general because of Xiao He's recommendation, and was killed because of Xiao He's strategy. This idiom vividly expresses the two-sided nature of the development of things, that is, the same person or thing can both promote success and lead to failure.

在楚汉争霸时期,刘邦与项羽争夺天下,韩信原本效力于项羽,但未被重用。

During the Chu-Han contention period, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world. Han Xin originally worked for Xiang Yu, but was not reused.

后来,韩信投奔刘邦,起初也并未受到重视。

Later, Han Xin defected to Liu Bang, but was not taken seriously at first.

萧何,作为刘邦的重要谋士,慧眼识英雄。

Xiao He, as an important counselor of Liu Bang, had a keen eye for heroes.

他在与韩信的交往中,逐渐发现其卓越的军事才能。

In his interactions with Han Xin, he gradually discovered his outstanding military talent.

然后向刘邦极力推荐韩信,认为他有统兵之才,是难得的军事奇才。

Then he strongly recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang, believing that he had the talent to command troops and was a rare military genius.

在萧何的坚持下,刘邦最终拜韩信为大将军。

With Xiao He's insistence, Liu Bang finally appointed Han Xin as a general.

韩信果然不负众望,屡建奇功,为刘邦统一天下立下汗马功劳。

Han Xin really lived up to expectations, repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, and made great contributions to Liu Bang's unification of the world.

韩信曾因不满刘邦的安排,一度离开军营。

Han Xin once left the barracks because he was dissatisfied with Liu Bang's arrangement.

萧何得知后,亲自追回韩信,再次向刘邦力荐。

After Xiao He learned about it, he personally retrieved Han Xin and recommended him to Liu Bang again.

这次事件充分体现了萧何对人才的重视和对韩信能力的信任。

This incident fully demonstrated Xiao He's emphasis on talents and his trust in Han Xin's ability.

汉朝建立后,韩信被封为楚王,后因功高震主,被刘邦和吕后以谋反的罪名捕杀。

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was named King of Chu. Later, because of his great achievements, he was arrested and killed by Liu Bang and Empress Lu on charges of treason.

萧何在这一过程中,虽然没有直接参与,但有观点认为他间接促成了韩信的悲剧。

Although Xiao He did not directly participate in this process, some people believe that he indirectly contributed to Han Xin's tragedy.

在韩信被捕前,萧何曾劝韩信入宫,韩信因此失去了防备,最终被吕后设计杀害。

Before Han Xin was arrested, Xiao He persuaded Han Xin to enter the palace, so Han Xin lost his guard and was eventually killed by Empress Lu.

这个故事告诉我们:在人生的道路上,同一个人或事物可能会带来截然不同的结果。也提醒我们在人生的道路上要谨慎行事、识人用人、维护信任并时刻保持清醒的头脑。

This story tells us: On the road of life, the same person or thing may bring completely different results. It also reminds us to act cautiously, recognize people and use them, maintain trust and keep a clear mind at all times on the road of life.
