权宜之计 stopgap measure
Explanation
权宜之计指为了应付某种情况而暂时采取的办法。它强调的是暂时的、应急的性质，并不代表长久之计。
A stopgap measure is a temporary solution adopted to deal with a particular situation. It emphasizes the temporary and emergency nature, and does not represent a long-term plan.
Origin Story
东汉末年，董卓专权，残暴不仁。司徒王允为了除掉董卓，设计离间董卓和吕布，用美人计让貂禅分别接近董卓和吕布，挑拨两人关系。此计最终成功，吕布杀死董卓。但王允除去董卓后，并未制定长远计划，反而骄傲自满，与部下关系疏远，最终被董卓旧部李傕、郭汜所杀。王允的成功只是权宜之计，缺乏长远的眼光，最终导致失败。这就是成语“权宜之计”的来历。
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo seized power and ruled cruelly and unjustly. In order to eliminate Dong Zhuo, Situ Wang Yun plotted to alienate Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu, using a beauty trick to have Diao Chan approach both Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu, provoking their relationship. This plan ultimately succeeded, and Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo. However, after removing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun did not develop a long-term plan, but instead became arrogant and alienated from his subordinates, and was eventually killed by Dong Zhuo's former generals Li Jue and Guo Si. Wang Yun's success was only a stopgap measure, lacking a long-term perspective, ultimately leading to failure. This is the origin of the idiom "权宜之计".
