取长补短

from 成语典故

取长补短 【释义】取别人的长处,补自己的不足。 【出处】战国·孟轲《孟子·滕文公上》 战国时期,滕文公做太子的时候,有一次出使楚国。他路经宋国,会见了孟子。孟子同他讲了人性本是善良的道理。 太子从楚国回来的时候,又在宋国拜访了孟子。孟子说:“您怀疑我的话吗?天下真理只有这么一个,成瞷是个勇士,他曾对齐景公说:‘他是个男子汉,我也是个男子汉,我为什么要怕他呢?’孔子最得意的学生颜渊曾经说过:‘舜是什么样的人,我也是什么样的人,有作为的人都可以像他那样。’公明仪曾说:‘文王是我的老师,周公也是应该信赖的。’现在滕国,假若把土地截长补短,每边之长也将近50里,只要实行仁政,仍然可以把它治理成为一个很好的国家(今滕,绝长补短,将五十里,犹可以为善国)。” 成语“取长补短”即由“绝长补短”演化而来的。
