What does it mean to be small if it is not small?

The small in this sentence should refer to the size of the ambition and the degree of ideality.

From "Hongmen Banquet", it is a historical biography written by Sima Qian, a historian and writer of the Han Dynasty, from "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji". The article recounts a banquet held by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, the leaders of two anti-Qin armies, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty (206 BC), at Hongmen, on the outskirts of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

The full text (excerpts) is as follows:

Pei Gong's army was dominant, but he did not meet Xiang Yu. Pei Gong Zuo Sima Cao was unharmed, so that people said to Xiang Yu: "Pei Gong wants the king to be in Guanzhong, so that the child and the baby are the appearance, and there are all the treasures."

Xiang Yu was furious and said: "Feast on the soldiers, in order to defeat the Pei Gong Army!" "When it was, Xiang Yu had 400,000 soldiers, in Xinfeng Hongmen; Pei Gong has 100,000 soldiers, and he is on the throne.

Fan Zeng said that Xiang Yu said: "When Pei Gong lived in Shandong, he was greedy for money and goods, and he was so beautiful. Now entering the customs, there is nothing to take from the property, and the women have nothing to do, and their ambition is not small. I make people look at it, they are all dragons and tigers, and they are colorful, and this genius is also angry. Don't miss it! ”

The translation is as follows: The Chu army was about to capture Guanzhong and reach Hangu Pass, which was guarded by Liu Bang's army and could not enter. Hearing that Pei Gong had broken through Xianyang, Xiang Yu was very annoyed, so he broke through Hangu Pass. So Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong and arrived at the west of the water.

Liu Bang was stationed in the Bashang army, and he had not yet been able to meet Xiang Yu, and Cao Wuxian, who was in charge of military affairs in Liu Bang's army, sent someone to Xiang Yu and said: "Liu Bang wants to be the king in Guanzhong, let Ziying be the prime minister, and have all the treasures." Xiang Yu was very angry and said:

Treat the soldiers tomorrow and defeat Liu Bang's army for me! "At this time, Xiang Yu's army of 400,000 was in Xinfeng Hongmen; Liu Bang's army of 100,000 is in the hegemony.

Fan Zeng advised Xiang Yu: "When Pei Gong was east of Kunshan Mountain, he was greedy for money and goods and loved beautiful women. Now that he has entered the customs, he does not plunder property and does not fall in love with women, which shows that his ambition is not small.

I asked people to look at the clouds there there, they are all in the shape of dragons and tigers, showing colorful colors, this is the clouds of the Son of Heaven! Hurry up and don't miss your chance. ”

Here's the small, the noun, the small place.

Original text: "Today, there is nothing to take from property, and women have nothing to do, and their ambition is not small." ”

Translation: Now that he has entered the customs, he does not plunder property, and he is not obsessed with women, which shows that his ambition is not small.

There is no front and no back, how can you answer people?

Probably, his ambition is not in such small things.

Ambition. There is also the purpose of the drawing.

In: lies in. The original text Qi Zhan: "Today, when you enter the customs, you have nothing to take from your property, and women have nothing to do, so your ambition is not small." ”

Missing translation: Now that he has entered the customs, he does not plunder property, and he is not obsessed with women, which shows that his ambition is not to be rotten in a small place.
