成語故事

戰國時代，燕王派軍攻打趙國。趙王向齊國求援，齊國便派名將田單前來，擔任趙軍總指揮。

趙國名將趙奢不服，就對趙孝成王說：「難道趙國就沒有將才了嗎？如大王授軍權給我，我保証可以取得勝利！」

趙奢又說：「田單絕不會為趙國和燕國拼命的。他不希望趙國強大，威脅到齊國。所以，讓田單掌趙軍大權，只會曠日持久，消耗雙方軍力，將情勢轉為對齊國有利。」

但趙王不聽。結果正如趙奢所料，田單無意積極作戰，令兩國之間的戰爭拖延了好幾年，白白浪費了許多人力和物力。

後來，『曠日持久』這一成語用來形容空廢時日，拖延很久。

成語解釋

曠：誤，荒廢，耽誤。持：持續，拖延。持久：持續很久。謂空費時日，相持長久。

喻荒廢時間，相持過久也解決不了問題。

劉心武《立體交叉橋》第五章：「後來，她被這曠日持久的事態也弄得麻木了。」

引用文獻

西漢‧劉向《戰國策‧趙策四》：「今得強趙之兵，以杜燕將，曠日持久數歲，令士大夫余子之力，盡於溝壘。」

"曠日持久" is a Chinese idiom that means wasting a lot of time and dragging on for a long period. It describes a situation where time is being squandered and the problem persists without being resolved. The idiom originated from a story during the Warring States period in ancient China.

In the story, the King of Zhao sought help from the State of Qi to defend against an attack from the State of Yan. The State of Qi sent a renowned general named Tian Dan to serve as the overall commander of the Zhao army. However, a Zhao general named Zhao She disagreed with this decision and believed that he could lead the army to victory.

Zhao She argued that Tian Dan had no intention of fighting wholeheartedly for Zhao because he didn't want Zhao to become powerful and pose a threat to Qi. He claimed that giving Tian Dan full authority over the Zhao army would only lead to a protracted conflict, wasting the military resources of both sides and ultimately benefiting the State of Qi.

Despite Zhao She's warning, the King of Zhao ignored his advice. As predicted by Zhao She, Tian Dan did not actively engage in battle, resulting in the war dragging on for several years, consuming a significant amount of manpower and resources.

The idiom "曠日持久" is now used to describe a situation where time is wasted and a problem persists without being resolved. It implies a prolonged and fruitless endeavor.
