中华成语典故----惊弓之鸟

班门弄斧即在鲁班门前卖弄使用斧子的技术。也就是说，想在大行家面前显示自己的本领，这种太不谦虚的可笑行为，就叫做“鲁班门前弄大斧”，简称“班门弄斧”。这和俗语所说的“关公面前耍大刀”的意思差不多。

中华成语典故--班门弄斧

A palatalized consonant is pronounced with the blade of the tongue pressed up against the hard palate. A palatalized consonant sounds like a consonant plus the [y] sound of “yes” pronounced at the exact same time. The letter ь ( мягкий знак ) indicates that the preceding consonant is palatalized.

In addition to ь, the vowel letters е, ё, и, ю, and я also indicate that the preceding 
consonant is palatalized.
