2.1.23A《画蛇添足》

Overdoing it may have the opposite effect. It happened to this Chinese gentleman from Chu who added legs on his drawing of a snake.

画蛇添足

楚国有个祭祀的官员，给手下办事的人一壶酒和酒具。门客们互相商量说："几个人喝这壶酒不够，一个人喝这壶酒才有剩余。请大家在地上画蛇，先画成的人喝酒。" 一个人先把蛇画好了。他拿起酒壶准备饮酒，就左手拿着酒壶，右手画蛇，说："我能够给蛇添上脚！"没等他画完，另一个人的蛇画成了，夺过他的酒说："蛇本来没有脚，你怎么能给它添上脚呢？"于是就把壶中的酒喝了下去。那个给蛇画脚的人最终失掉了那壶酒。
