  不敢越雷池一步
  bù gǎn yuè léi chí yī bù
  出处:《晋书·庾亮传》:“亮并不听,而报温峤书曰:‘吾忧西陲过于历阳,足下无过雷池一步也。’”
  释义:雷池:在今安徽望江县南,池水源自大雷水,东入长江。“不敢越雷池一步”,意思是不敢超越一定的界限,多指保守、拘泥;也有作“不得越雷池一步”的,意思好似不准超越规定的范围,多指压制、束缚。
  成语典故:
  东晋成帝时,庾亮任中书令,执朝政。他为了防备西部边境的敌人侵犯,推荐温峤到江州(今江西九江)做官,加强防务。温峤上任不久,庾亮得到了历阳太守苏峻企图谋反的报告。原来苏峻纠集亡命之徒,早就蠢蠢欲动了。庾亮自作聪明,想骗苏峻离开历阳,到京都建康(今江苏南京)来做大司农。大臣们都以为这办法不妥,温峤也写信给庾亮劝阻,但庾亮不听。苏峻果然非但不愿到京都去,反而由此看出朝廷对自己起了疑心,于是造起反来,发兵攻向京都。温峤得知苏峻反叛,立即号召部下将士,秣马厉兵,打算从水路进入建康,护卫都城。庾亮对于苏峻叛兵估计不足,写信给温峤说:“吾忧西陲过于历阳,足下无过雷池一步也。”(意思是我担心西镜的敌人更甚于苏峻叛兵,你务必留在原地,不要越过雷池到京都来)庾亮叫温峤“无过雷池一步”,在战略上是错误的。苏峻攻势凶猛,很快逼近建康,庾亮指挥晋军迎战,被杀得大败,京都失陷。心怀内疚的庾亮投奔温峤。温峤并不责怪,请他守卫白石的营垒,自己则加紧操练水军,准备与苏峻叛军决一死战。苏峻派了一万步兵,从四面包围白石,拼命攻打,庾亮手下只有两千人,渐渐支持不住。庾亮身先士卒,奋不顾身地挥刀猛冲。晋军受到激励,愈战愈勇,终于杀退了叛军。庾亮见叛军败退,大喝一声,率晋军冲出营垒,紧紧追击,斩杀数百名敌人,获得大胜。最后,庾亮、温峤等人终于杀掉苏峻,平定叛乱,弥补了因“无过雷池一步”战略错误而造成的损失。
