另据沈括记载,丁谓入仕前曾游访过赋闲在家的官员胡则,受到很好的款待。他大概手头拮据,便想出献诗索取钱粮的点子。翌日,主人家原来考究的餐饮器具全被陶瓦器皿取代,他以为遭到厌弃,就怒而离去。胡则连忙追出,拿出许多银两相赠,并解释道:自家原本不富裕,唯有餐饮器具值钱,所以只有变卖换钱相送。他闻听此言,才释然接受。此事多少反映出丁谓既自负又心胸狭窄的特点。 According to Shen Kuo, Ding said before entering the official visited the leisurely home officials Hu is subject to very good hospitality. He probably short-sighted, they come up with ideas for money and ideas. The following day, the host’s original exquisite dining utensils were replaced by pottery vessels, and when he thought he was abandoned, he furiously left. Hu is quickly chasing out, come up with many silver gifts, and explained: his home was not wealthy, only dining utensils valuable, so only the sale of money to send. He heard this remark, just relieved to accept. How much this reflects the fact that Ding is both arrogant and narrow-minded.
