In the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament, Daniel is a Jewish man taken as a prisoner to Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar. He will not give up his faith. As punishment he is put in a den of lions, but the lions do not kill him; the story says God shuts their mouths.

In the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament在希伯來聖經／舊約裡，Daniel但以理是 under King Nebuchadnezzar在尼布甲尼撒王的時代 taken as a prisoner被擄 to Babylon到巴比倫的 a Jewish man一個猶太人。He他 will not give up不肯放棄 his faith他的信仰。As punishment作為懲罰 he他 is put in被丟進 a den of lions獅子坑，but但 the lions獅子 do not kill him沒有咬死他；the story says故事說 God神 shuts their mouths封住了牠們的口

That scene is why English has the phrase in the lion’s den (or Daniel in the lions’ den): a hard place where you are surrounded by people who do not wish you well — a hostile meeting, a classroom of critics, a family dinner after a fight.

That scene那一幕 is why就是 English英文 has有 the phrase這個片語的原因：in the lion's den（or或 Daniel in the lions' den）——a hard place一個艱難的處境，where you你在那裡 by people who do not wish you well被不希望你好的人 are surrounded包圍——a hostile meeting一場不友善的會議、a classroom of critics一教室的批評者、a family dinner after a fight吵架後的家庭聚餐

The name is still a common first name, so a living person called Daniel is not the Bible figure; the story and the idiom are what this sense is about. The tale is told as miracle and courage, and people who do not go to church still use the idiom.

The name這個名字 is still仍然是 a common first name常見的名字，so所以 a living person called Daniel一個叫Daniel的活人 is not不是 the Bible figure聖經人物；the story and the idiom故事和這個片語 are才是 what this sense is about這個義項在講的東西。The tale這個故事 as miracle and courage被當成神蹟與勇氣 is told來講述，and而 who do not go to church不上教會的 people人 still也照樣 use the idiom用這個片語
