《史记·魏世家》：“且夫以地事秦，譬犹抱薪救火，薪不尽，火不灭。” 抱薪救火
常用程度: 3/3 “抱薪救火”这则成语的意思是抱着柴草去救火。比喻人想消灭灾害，但使用的方法不当，反而使灾害扩大，变得更严重了。 战国时代，魏国老是受到秦国的侵略。魏国的安厘王即位后，秦国加紧了进攻，魏国连连战败。安厘王元年，秦国进攻魏国，魏国失去了两个城镇；第二年，魏国又失去了三个城镇，不仅如此，秦国的军队当时还直逼魏国的都城，形势十分危急。韩国派兵来救，但也被秦军打败。魏国没有办法，只得割让了土地，才算了结了战争；可是到了第三年，秦国又发动进攻，强占了魏国的两个城镇，并杀死了数万人。第四年，秦国更把魏、韩、赵三国军队，一起打得大败，杀死兵士十五万人；魏国的大将芒卯也因此失踪。 魏国军队的接连败北，使安厘王坐卧不安。此时，魏国军队的另一位大将段干子也十分恐惧，为了苟安，便向安厘王建议，把南阳割给秦国，请求罢兵议和，安厘王本来对秦军的进攻十分害怕，以为割让土地就可以求得太平，便照着段干子的话做了。 当时有个叫苏代的，是一贯主张“合纵抗秦”的苏秦的弟弟，他也极力主张各诸侯国联合起来抵抗秦国。苏代得知魏国割地求合的事后，就对安厘王说：“ “侵略者都是贪得无厌的，你想用领土、权利，去换取和平，是办不到的，只要你国土还在，就无法满足侵略的欲望。这好比抱着柴草去救火，柴草一把一把地投入火中，火怎么能扑灭呢？柴草一天不烧完，火是一天不会熄灭的。” 但是，安厘王不肯听从苏代的话，仍然一味屈膝求和。 战国末期，秦国向魏国接连发动大规模的进攻，魏国无力抵抗，大片土地都被秦军占领了。到公元前273年，秦国又一次向魏国出兵，势头空前猛烈。 魏王把大臣们召来，愁眉苦脸地问大家有没有使秦国退兵的办法。大臣们由于经过多年的战乱，提起打仗就吓得哆嗦，谁也不敢谈“抵抗”二字。在这大兵压境的危急时刻，多数大臣都劝魏王，用黄河以北和太行山以南的大片土地为代价，向秦王求和。 谋士苏代听了这些话，很不以为然，忙上前对魏王说：“大王，他们是因为自己胆小怕死，才让您去卖国求和，根本不为国家着想。您想，把大片土地割让给秦国虽然暂时满足了秦王的野心，但秦国的欲望是无止境的，只要魏国的土地没割完，秦军就不会停止进攻我们。” 说到这里，苏代讲了一个故事：从前有一个人，他的房子起火了，别人劝他快用水去浇灭大火，但他不听，偏抱起一捆柴草去救火，是因为他不懂得柴草不但不能灭火反而能助长火势的道理。大王若同意拿着魏国土地去求和，不就等于抱着柴草救火吗？” 尽管苏代讲得头头是道，但是胆小的魏王只顾眼前的太平，还是依大臣们的意见把魏国大片土地割让给秦国。到公元前225年，果然秦军又向魏国大举进攻，包围了国都大梁，掘开黄河大堤让洪水淹没了大梁城，魏国终于被秦国灭掉了。

Carrying Faggots to Put Out a Fire for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.B., the qin army launched another attack upon the State of Wei with a momentum more vigorous than ever. The king of the State of Wei summoned his officials,and asked with a worried look if anyone co uld propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars,the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance. At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the offinials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counsellor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all .It is just because they are cowardly and afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temperarily satisfy the ambition of the king of the State of Qin is insatiably greedy. It will never stop assaulting us until our land is totally given away."Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. That was because he didn't know that,instead of putting out the fire, faggots could only make it burning more vigorously. Isn't it equivalent to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. For the king of the State of Wei was cowardly and only cared for peace at the moment. As might be expected,the Qin army assaulted the State of Wei on a large scale in 225 B.C.,surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes of the Huanghe River.The State of Wei was finally destroyed by the State of Qin.This story appears in the Historical Records Written by Sima Qian.The set phrase"carrying faggots to put out a fire"is used to mean adopting a wrong method to save a situation and ending up by making it worse.
