內容簡介

The cunning fox's tiger power （狐假虎威）

Good teamwork to achieve wicked goals （狼狽為奸）

A one-trick donkey （黔驢技窮）

There are hundreds more of these Chinese idioms (chengyu) that pack a lot of meaning into four characters.

Many of these Chinese idioms originate from historical events, classics, and folklore; they give us valuable insights into Chinese culture, history, and literature.

Aimed at English learners, The Magic Four groups together some of these well-known stories with animals as its theme.

Each story is accompanied with extra learning elements:

• The literal and figurative meanings;

• A similar idiom/phrase in the English language;

• Definitions of useful vocabularies in the story;

• Meanings of different idioms/phrases used in the stories and examples;

Not only will you gain insight into Chinese wisdom accumulated for centuries but also learn fun aspects of the English language too!
