亡羊补牢

from 成语典故

亡羊补牢 【释义】丢失了羊,补好羊圈。比喻事情出了差错,及时补救,以避免再有损失。 【出处】汉·刘向《战国策·楚策》 战国时代,楚国大臣庄辛,一天对楚襄王说:“你在宫里面的时候,左边是州侯,右边是夏侯;出去的时候,鄢陵君和寿跟君又总是随看你。这四个人只知享乐,不管国家大事,这样下去楚国恐怕就要灭亡了。” 楚襄王骂道:“明明国家太平无事,可你故意说这些险恶的话,是来惑乱人心吗?” 庄辛回答说:“臣不是有意要冒犯大王,只是觉得如果你一直宠信这些人,楚国是一定要灭亡的。你既然不信我的话,请允许我避居到赵国,看事情究竟会怎样。” 襄王答应了。庄辛到赵国才住了5个月,秦国果然派兵侵犯楚国。襄王被迫流亡到阳城(今河南息县西北),这才觉得庄辛的话不错,赶紧派人把庄辛找回来,问他有什么办法。 庄辛说:“我听说过,‘看见兔子才想起猎犬(见兔而顾犬),这还不晚;羊跑掉了才补羊圈(亡羊而补牢),也还不迟。’只要我们能及时改正错误,不论任何失败都还有挽回的机会。”
