a man of straw

three pigs leaved their mother. after a while they met a man with a bundle of straw.

于是那三只小猪离开妈妈后，他们看到有些稻草。

A few days later, another man with a broken bowl boasted to the Qin scholar: "Sir, neither the straw mat nor the walking stick is a genuine antique, whereas this bowl was actually made in the time of King lie of the Xia Dynasty, which is more remote than the Zhou Dynasty."

几天后，又有人端着一只破碗，对秦士夸耀说：“先生，席子和手杖都不是什么古董，而这只破碗，倒真正是夏梁时造的，比周朝更古远了。”

It was a wonderful show, the waiter recalled a man of straw a man of tin.

演出可精彩啦, 侍者回忆道,稻草人,铁皮人.

He seems to be looking for a man of straw to belabour.

他看来在找一个假想的敌人来加以痛打.

One day, a man came to his door to peddle3 a worn-out straw mat. He said to the Qin scholar: "In those years, Ai Gong of the State of Lu gave a seat to Confucius to inquire about political affairs. This was the very straw mat on which Confucius had sat."

一天，有个人拿着一张破席子，登门兜售，对秦士说：“当年，兽哀公设席，赐孔子坐，询问政事。这张正是当年孔子坐过的席子。”

A man of straw is worth of a woman of gold.

稻草男儿抵得上金玉女子.
