操 |
---|
cāo ㄘㄠ (1.1): 持,拿著。 Hold, holding.
《·》: | 一手之操也,不若二手之3强也 | The grasp of one hand cannot compare with that of two. | 《·》: | 此六子者,无异于磔犬、流豕、操瓢而乞者,皆离名轻死,不念本养寿命者也。 | (The deaths of) these four men were not different from those of the dog that is torn in pieces, the pig that is borne away by a current, or the beggar (drowned in a ditch) with his alms-gourd in his hand. They were all caught as in a net by their (desire for) fame, not caring to nourish their life to its end, as they were bound to do. | 《·》: | 昔葛天氏之乐,三人操牛尾投足以歌八阕:一曰载民,二曰玄鸟,三曰遂草木,四曰奋五谷,五曰敬天常,六曰达帝功,七曰依地德,八曰总万物之极。 |
|
cāo ㄘㄠ (1.2): 掌握,驾驭。 Control, drive.
《·》: | 颜渊问仲尼曰:“吾尝济乎觞深之渊,津人操舟若神。” | Yan Yuan asked Zhongni, saying, 'When I was crossing the gulf of Shang-shen, the ferryman handled the boat like a spirit.' | 《·》: | 所谓贵者,无法而擅行,操国柄而便私者也。 |
|
cāo ㄘㄠ (1.3): 携,带著。 Carry, bring with.
《·》: | 孝子操药以修慈父,其色燋然,圣人羞之。 | He was like the filial son carrying in the medicine to cure his kind father, with every sign of distress in his countenance. A sage would be ashamed (of such a thing). | 《》: | 郑人有且置履者,先自度其足而置之其坐,至之市而忘操之,已得履,乃曰:“吾忘持度。” | 《》: | 魏人郑安平闻之,乃遂操范睢亡,伏匿,更名姓曰张禄。 |
|
cāo ㄘㄠ (2): 担任,从事。 Serve as, do.
《·》: | 孙子曰:凡兴师十万,出征千里,百姓之费,公家之奉,日费千金,内外骚动,怠于道路,不得操事者,七十万家,相守数年,以争一日之胜,而爱爵禄百金,不知敌之情者,不仁之至也,非人之将也,非主之佐也,非胜之主也。 |
|
cāo ㄘㄠ (3): (旧读cào)操守,品德。 Integrity, moral character.
《·》: | 充仲子之操,则蚓而后可者也。 | To carry out the principles which he holds, one must become an earthworm, for so only can it be done. | 《·》: | 君臣易操,则上之三官者废矣。 |
