春秋时代，楚平王听信谗言，杀了伍子胥的父亲。伍子胥逃到吴国，十多年后帮助吴王打到楚国的都城，报了仇。伍子胥虽然报了仇，但是受到国人的责备。伍子胥内心十分痛苦，说：“我就像一个行路的人，天已经晚了，而路途还十分遥远，不知道该怎么办啊？”
这个故事后来变成成语“日暮途穷”，比喻处境十分困难，力量用尽了，计策没有了。
The Day Is Waning and the Road Is Ending
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Ping of Chu was misled by slanderers, and had Wu Zixu's father executed. Wu Zixu fled to the State of Wu. More than then years later, Wu Zixu took his revenge by helping. Wu conquer Chu. Yet he suffered agonies of remorse, because his countrymen called him a traitor. He protested, "I'm just like a traveller. It's already late, but I still have a long way to go. I simply dont know what to do."
This idiom comes from the above story. It means being in a very difficult situation at the end of one's tether.
