Question

妻侧目而视,侧耳而听,嫂蛇行葡伏,四拜自跪而谢 翻译

Answer 1

（苏秦将去游说楚王，路过洛阳，父母听到消息，收拾房屋，打扫街道，设置音乐，准备酒席，到三十里外郊野去迎接。）
妻子不敢正面看他，侧着耳朵听他说话。嫂子象蛇一样在地上匍匐，再三再四地跪拜谢罪。
（苏秦问：“嫂子为什么过去那么趾高气扬，而现在又如此卑躬屈膝呢？”嫂子回答说：“因为你地位尊贵而且很有钱呀。”苏秦叹道：“唉！贫穷的时候父母不把我当儿子，富贵的时候连亲戚也畏惧，人活在世上，权势地位和荣华富贵，难道是可以忽视的吗？” ）

His wife dared not look at him directly, and listened to him talking with her head bowed；his elder sister-in-law crawled on the ground like a snake, and then knelt and apologised for her former offense time and time again.
