下面，小编为大家分享东施效颦的成语解释，希望对大家有所帮助！东施效颦的成语解释篇1【汉字书写】：东施效颦【汉语注音】：dōng shī xiào pín【成语出处】：战国．庄周《庄子．天运》：“西施病心而颦其里，其里之丑人见之而美之，归亦捧心而颦其里，其里富人见之，坚闭门而不出；贫人见之，挈妻子而去之走。
彼知颦美而不知颦之所以美。
”【成语语法】：主谓式；作谓语、宾语、定语，带有贬义的意思。
【东施效颦的意思】：东施：代指丑妇；效：效仿；颦：皱眉头。

现泛指仿效者的愚蠢可笑。
【东施效颦的近义词】：弄巧成拙、邯郸学步、生搬硬套、亦步亦趋、照猫画虎、鹦鹉学舌；【东施效颦的反义词】：别开生面、独出心裁、独辟蹊径、标新立异、自我作古、择善而从；【东施效颦的故事】这个故事出自战国．庄周的《庄子．天运》，西施乃是赫赫有名的美女，生来就婀娜多姿，因此即便是捧心皱眉也显得美丽动人，而丑妇本来就生得丑陋，却又要去学习西施捧心皱眉的样子，那结果必然是丑上加丑。
东施效颦的故事是说丑人不知道自已丑，硬要去学倾国倾城的美人的模样，结果肯定是越学越丑，从而说明不论做什么事，如果盲目地去模仿人家，有时是会得到相反的效果的。

宋代黄庭坚等人才确言有“东施效颦”这么一说。

’”清．无花藏主人《两交婚》第三回：“所以称盛者，不过如刁直之东施效颦耳。

东施效颦 (dōng shī xiào pín)-英文版成语典故
东施效颦(dōng shī xiào pín)-英文版成语典故Imitating BeautyIn Chinese history, there are a number of famous beauties who have survived thousands of years throughpoems, novels, dramas and movies. The same is true of the ugly. The expression Dong Shi Xiao Pin, or "DongShi imitates the eyebrow knitting" is but one example.This expression is based on a story dating back to the late years of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-467BC).Xi Shi was an acclaimed beauty who was born and brought upin the State of Yue in eastern China.Throughout her life, Xi was involved not only in romantic escapades, but also in some intricate political plots.However, she was best-known for her peerless beauty.The story goes that before she was presented to the king of the State of Wu as one of his concubines, Xisuffered from some sort of heart ailment. Therefore, she was often seen slightly knitting her brows, orfrowning, and walking through the village with a hand on her chest.But people found that, instead of detracting from her striking beauty, the eyebrow knitting bestowed a newkind of charm upon the young woman.Dong Shi, an ugly woman living in the neighborhood, always envied Xi's ineffable beauty and she also noticedthe beauty's eyebrow knitting and graceful gait. Therefore, Dong decided to imitate her idol's frowning andher manner of walking. She thought this might help disguise some of her own ugliness.But the imitation only made Dong look uglier. And whenever Dong was tottering across the village with hereyebrows knitted and a hand on her chest, wealthy people would shut their doors and the poor would turnaway to avoid seeing the unpleasantcontortion of her face.Only innocent children would chase and jeer at her. The story concludes: "Alas, that woman mistook frowningfor something beautiful, and was unaware that it only added beauty to a real beauty."Since then, the expression Dong Shi Xiao Pin is often used to warn people that blind imitation may lead to aludicrous result. And as long as this idiom still lives in the Chinese language, Dong will remain a symbol ofplaying the ridiculous ape.。

东施效颦
In the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), there was a beauty in the State of Yue called Xishi (西施).
传说春秋时期，越国有一美女，名唤西施。
She often suffered from pains in her chest, and so she would often walk around doubled over and with her brows knitted.
但是西施有心口疼的毛病，所以她经常手捂胸口，皱着眉头走着。
There was an ugly girl in the village called Dongshi who envied Xishi.
村子里还住着一位丑姑娘，叫做东施，她十分嫉妒西施。
Striving to emulate Xishi, she imitated her stoop, knitting her brows at the same time.
于是东施时常效仿西施，手捂胸口，紧皱眉头。
She thought that this made her elegant, but in fact, it only made her more ugly.
东施觉得她效仿西施就会变得很美丽，但是实际上，只会使她变得更难看而已。
Later, this idiom came to be used to indicate improper imitation that produces the reverse effect. 这个典故比喻不恰当的模仿，带来相反的效果。
