文质彬彬·每日好词语｜众志成城

　　众志成城

　　本谓“众心成城”，意思是大家同心协力，就会像城墙一样坚固。“志”即意愿、意志；“城”指城墙，是古代的防御设施。比喻大家团结一致，就能形成巨大力量，克服一切困难。其中隐含着3个重要命题：人的因素第一，人的精神力量第一，人的精诚团结第一。

　　Unity Is Strength

　　Literally, this term means "united, we'll be as solid as a fortress." With concerted effort, people collectively can generate tremendous strength and be able to overcome all difficulties. Zhi, the second character in the term, means will; and cheng, the last character, means the wall of a fortress. The whole term implies three most important elements: the factor of human capability, human spirit and courage, and unity of the people.

　　引 例

　　众心成城，众口铄金。（《国语·周语下》）（如果众人同心协力，就会像城墙一样坚固；如果众人言词一样，连金属都能熔化掉。）

　　If we are united as one, we will be as solid as a fortress. If we speak in one voice, we will be able to fuse metal. (Discourses on Governance of the States)
