买椟还珠 - Buy the Case and Return the Pearl以下是译文:A man of the State of Chu went to the State of Zheng(1) to sell his pearl. He had made a case for the pearl with fine grained molan wood, fumigated it with cinnamon incense, mouted it with white jade, adorned it with rose-coloured stone and sewed green jadeite onto its fringes. The craftsmanship was so exquisite that a Zheng buyer took the case but returned the pearl to the seller. It may be said that the man was good at selling the case, but not the pearl(2).________________________________(1) Both were states during the Zhou Dynastic rule.(2) This idiomatic expression has always been used to satirise the man of Zheng, the buyer, mstead, because he did not know what right choice he should make-a thing of real worth,not one of beautiful appearance.请采纳,谢谢!
