养兵;
To give you an idea of the size of the Earth, I will tell you that before the invention of electricity it was necessary to maintain, over the whole of the six continents, a veritable army of 462511 lamplighters for the street lamps.
为了使你们对地球的大小有一个概念,我想要告诉你们:在发明电之前,在六个大洲上,为了点路灯,需要维持一支为数四十六万二千五百一十一人的真正大军。
Maintain an army for a thousand days to use it for an hour.
养兵千日,用兵一时.
