kè zhōu qiú jiàn
楚国有个人过江时把剑掉在水里,他在船帮上剑落的地方刻上记号,等船停下,从刻记号的地方下水找剑,结果自然找不到(见于《吕氏春秋·察今》)。 {nick the boat to seek the sword; L?'s Spring and Autumn Annals·On Current Affairs by L? Buwei goes as follows:
A man from the state of Chu dropped his sword in the river while aboard a boat. He immediately made a notch on the side of the boat from where his sword dropped. When the boat reached the bank, he jumped into the river from where he marked the boat and, of course, failed to retrieve his sword.}〈比喻 fig.〉拘泥成例,不知道跟着情势的变化而改变看法或办法。 {do sth. in disregard of changed circumstances}
