今天我們講的成語故事是貪得無厭。字面的意思很容易理解，即：?貪婪到無法滿足的地步。那么關(guān)于它的歷史典故是怎樣的呢？一起來看看吧：

One day a man walking on the road met a celestial, who happened to be an old friend of his.
一天，有個(gè)人走在路上遇到一個(gè)神仙。原來，這個(gè)神仙還是他的老朋友呢。

Seeing that his life was hard, the celestial pointed with his finger at a brick on the roadside, which turned into a gold brick at once. And he gave it to the man.
神仙看到他生活很困難，就用手指朝路邊的一塊磚頭一指，磚頭立即變成了金磚。神仙把金磚送給了他。

But the man was not satisfied. The celestial pointed again with his finger at a large stone lion at the gate, which at once turned into a gold lion. And he gave it to him too. But the man still complained it was not enough.
他并不滿足。神仙又把手指一指，門前的一尊大石獅馬上變成了一尊金獅，也送給了他?？墒撬耘f嫌少。

The celestial asked him:"My friend, how much will be enough for you? What should I do to satisfy you?"
神仙問他:“朋友，你要多少才能滿足?我怎么做你才滿意?”

The man hummed and hawed and said:"I want your finger."
他支支吾吾地說:“我想要你的這個(gè)手指頭!”

好了，以上就是關(guān)于“英語成語故事：貪得無厭”的介紹，聽完了今天的故事要嘗試著將它復(fù)述出來哦。這則故事是比喻?貪圖名利或金錢之心永遠(yuǎn)沒有滿足的時(shí)候。希望以上的內(nèi)容能給大家的英語學(xué)習(xí)有所幫助。
