【不鸣则已,一鸣惊人】 It never rains but it pours.

齐威王刚当上国王的前三年,整天喝酒玩乐,不管国家的事情。官员们因为害怕国王,都不敢劝他(to persuade),更不敢说出他的问题。
当时齐国有个人叫淳于髡(Chún Yúkūn),知道齐威王平时说话喜欢打比方,于是他想到了个提醒齐威王的好办法。
有一次,淳于髡(Chún Yúkūn)去见齐威王,聊天时说:“大王啊,我听说最近发生了一件怪事。”齐威王很感兴趣,问:“你快说说是什么事?”淳于髡(Chún Yúkūn)说:“我听说齐国的都城(Capital)里面有一只巨大的鸟,飞着飞着就落进了王宫(the palace)的院子里。这只鸟在院子里呆了三年,既不飞,也不叫。大王,你知道这只鸟为什么会这样吗?”齐威王听完立刻就明白了,这哪是在说大鸟啊,根本是在说我只知道享乐,而不去好好治理(to manage)国家。
齐威王对淳于髡(Chún Yúkūn)说:“这只大鸟我知道啊。你可别小看了这只鸟,这只鸟不飞则已,一飞冲天;不鸣则已,一鸣惊人。”意思是说,你别看我这三年没有治理国家,但我要是想干这件事,一定能干得特别好。
两个人谈话之后,齐威王立刻把全国的官员都找来问话,把三年没做的事情都办好了。然后他找了很多有才干(talent)的人来当官,让齐国成为了当时最强的国家之一。
则:就,连接上下文。
已:罢了,算了,止
冲:(以前讲过)很快地朝一个方向过去(大水冲了龙王庙)
鸣:鸣叫。鸟或虫子叫。
惊:惊奇、惊讶、震惊。
例句:
1.平时不爱说话的王静,在这次演讲比赛中得了第一名,真是不鸣则已,一鸣惊人。
2.原来你唱歌唱得这么好,看不出来呀!你这是不鸣则已,一鸣惊人啊!
3.这家公司已经成立五年了,很少有人听说过。今年进入了全省十强企业,真是不鸣则已,一鸣惊人。
