(单词翻译:双击或拖选)
Han Yu (hàn yù 韩愈)was a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty ( tàng chào 唐朝,618-907). In one of his poems he wrote, "An ant tries to topple a giant tree, ridiculously overrating its ability."This idiom later was used to indicate overestimating one's power and trying to overthrow someone much stronger.

韩愈是唐朝著名的诗人。他的一首诗中写到:“蚍蜉撼大树,可笑不自量。”(蚂蚁高估了自己的能力,竟然想推倒大树,十分可笑。) 此成语用来比喻力量很小却想撼动强大的事物,自不量力。
