卜昼卜夜

from 成语典故

卜昼卜夜 【释义】形容昼夜相继,宴乐无度。 【出处】春秋·左丘明《左传•庄公二十二年》 春秋时候,有一年陈国的国君杀死了太子御冠,陈国的公子敬仲逃亡到齐国。齐桓 公对敬仲很恭敬,想拜他为齐国的卿士。可是敬仲婉言辞谢道:“我是逃奔而来的客人,如果得到您的宽恕,在您宽厚的政治庇护下,得以免除罪过,这便是君王的恩惠,我已经感到满足了,怎么还敢接受卿士这样高贵的官位呢?如果我不知满足而应允下来,很快就会招来官员们的谴责,所以请您免了吧!” 齐桓公不勉强他,让他担任工正这个职务,负责管理各种工匠。敬仲工作很是尽责。 齐桓公与敬仲经常在一块饮酒闲聊。有一天,敬仲请齐桓公到家喝酒,两人越喝越高兴,一直喝到天黑。齐桓公觉得还没尽兴,便吩咐仆人说:“把蜡烛点上,再喝几杯!” 敬仲是很懂得礼仪的,他觉得再喝下去是不合礼仪的,便委婉地说:“臣卜其昼,未卜其夜,不敢。”意思是说:白天饮酒我占卜过了,夜间饮酒我没占卜,恐怕不吉利,实在不敢再留您喝下去啦! 齐桓公只得告辞而去。 后人把敬仲的话引申出“卜昼卜夜”这一成语,指昼夜相继
