①比喻没有本领的人冒充有本领,混在里面凑数,例选拔职员一定要求有真才实学,任人唯贤,不可滥竿充数。
People with real talent and learning must be chosen for jobs,in other words,pcople must be appointed on their merits.Incompetent people must not be employed merely to make up the number.
②也可表示自谦,例我在这个职位上滥竽充数好几年了,想来真是惭愧。
I have been working here just to fill up a vacancy for several years now and feel truly apologetic when I look back.
