少儿英语成语故事:自相矛盾

       A man of the state of Chu had a spear and a shield for sale. He was loud in praises of his shield.

       　“My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through.”He also sang praises of his spear.“My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything.”“What would happen，” he was asked， “if your spear is used to pierce your shield？”It is impossible for an impenetrable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable.

       　这个成语出自《韩非子·难一》。

       　古时候，矛和盾都是作战用的武器。矛用来刺杀敌人，盾则用来保护身体，以免被对方的矛刺中。

       　传说很久以前，楚国有个卖兵器的人，在市场上卖矛和盾。为了让人家愿意买他的货，他先举起盾向人们夸口道：“你们看，我的盾是世上最坚固的盾，任何锋利的东西都不能刺穿它。”接着又举起他的矛，向人吹嘘说：“你们再看看我的矛，它锋利无比，无坚不摧，无论多么坚硬的盾，都挡不住它，一刺就穿！”

       　围观的人听了他的话都觉得很好笑，人群中有人问道：“依你的说法，你的矛无论怎样坚硬的盾都能刺穿，而你的盾又是无论多么锋利的矛也不能把它刺穿。那就拿你的矛来刺你的盾吧，看看结果怎么样？”

       　卖兵器的人听了张口结舌，无从回答，只好拿着矛和盾走了。

       　“自相矛盾”就是由这个故事演变而来的。现在人们用它来比喻做事、说话前后自相抵触。

       The Frog in the Shallow Well (Jing Di Zhi Wa)

       Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"

       Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.

       "Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."

       After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.

       英语故事:惊弓之鸟

       A Bird Startled by the Mere Twang of a Bow-String

       This set phrase figuratively denotes those who have suffered disasters and so have a lingering fear when anything happen.

       During the War Period ,in the Wèi State there lived a famous archer named Gēng léi.

       One day,Gēng léi and the King of Wei standing on a high terrace saw some birds flying past.

       At this Gēng léi said to the King:"I'll shoot a flying bird down for YourMajesty by drawing a bow with no arrow."

       The King asked,"Is it possible that one's archery can attain such a level?"

       A little later,a wild goose was flying from the east.

       Gēng léi just drew his bow but didn't shoot an arrow.

       As expected,the wild goose fell to the ground with the twang.

       The King asked in surprise,"How can your archery reach such a high level?"

       Gēng léi replied ,"This wild goose has been wounded."

       The King got more surprised,asking,"How do you know it,sir?"

       Gēng léi esplained,"This wild goose flew slowly and cried sadly.Its flying slowly suggested that it was still aching with the old wound; its crying sadly suggested that it had strayed long from its flock.When it heard the twang the wild goose had to flutter hard to fly high for its life.So it is evitably fell down with its old wound burst."

       揠苗助长(英文版故事)

        揠苗助长(To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow)

        Once upon a time, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day. But still, he thought they were growing too slowly. He got impatient with the young plants. "How could the plants grow faster?" He tossed in bed during the night and could not sleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea. He had an idea not wait for daybreak. He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field. By the moonlight, he began working on the rice seedlings. One by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. When he finished pulling, it was already morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself, "What a wonderful idea! Look, how much taller the plants have grown one night!" With great satisfaction, he went back home. He told his son what he had done in a triumphant tone. His son was shocked. Now the sun had risen. The young man was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.

        People now use " Ba Miao Zhu Zhang" to describe the behavior of those who are too eager to get something done only to make it worse. The idiom is a bit like the English proverb "Haste makes waste" ------to spoil things by excessive enthusia *** .

揠（yà）

        这个成语出自《孟子·公孙丑上》。

        春秋时期，宋国有一个农夫，他总是嫌田里的庄稼长得太慢，今天去瞧瞧，明天去看看，觉得禾苗好像总没有长高。他心想：有什么办法能使它们长得高些快些呢？

        有一天，他来到田里，把禾苗一棵一棵地往上拔。一大片禾苗，一棵一棵地拔真费了不少的力气，等他拔完了禾苗，已经累得筋疲力尽了，可是他心里却很高兴。回到家里还夸口说：“今天可把我累坏了，我帮助禾苗长高了好几寸！”他儿子听了，赶忙跑到田里去看，发现田里的禾苗全都已经枯死了。

        “揠苗助长”用来比喻不管事物的发展规律，急于求成，反而把事情弄糟。“揠苗助长”也可写作“拔苗助长”。

        《孟子·公孙丑上》：“宋人有闵其苗之不长而揠之者，茫茫然归，谓其人曰：‘今日病矣，予助苗长矣。’其子趋而往视之，苗则槁矣。”所以选a战国

Is this not a very foolish way to look for a sword? 战国时，楚国有个人坐船渡江。船到江心，他一不小心。把随身携带的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在船舷上刻上一个记号，说：“这是我宝剑落水的地方，所以我要刻上一个记号。” 船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。捞了半天，仍不见宝剑的影子。其实他又怎么找得到宝剑呢？船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。 二 守株待兔Staying by a Stump Waiting for More Hares To Come and Dash Themselves Against It Staying by a Stump Waiting for More Hares To Come and Dash Themselves Against It This story took place more than 2,000 years ago,in the Warring States period（475-221 B.C.）.Tradition has it that in the State of Song at that time there was a man who was famous for staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it. He was a yong farmer,and his family had been farmers for generations.Year after year and generation after generation, farmers used to sow in spring and harvest in autumn,beginning to work at sunrise and retiring at sunset.In good harvest years,they could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear.If there was a famine due to crop failure,they had to go hungry. This young farmer wanted to improve his life.But he was too lazy and too cowardly.Being lazy and cowardly over everything,he often dreamed of having unexpected blessings. A miracle took place at last. One day in late autumn,when he was ploughing in the field,two groups of people were hunting nearby.As shoutings were rising one after another,scared hares were running desperately.Suddenly,a blind hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died. That day,he ate his fill. From that day on,he no longer went in for farming again.From morning till night,he stayed by that miraculous stump,waiting for miracles to take place again. This story comes from"The Five Vermin"in The Works of Han Feizi.Later generations often use the set phrase"staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it"to show grusting to chance and windfalls or dreaming to reap without sowing.It is also used to show adhering to narrow experiences and not being able to be flexible. 相传在战国时代宋国，有一个农民，日出而作，日入而息．遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖；一遇灾荒，可就要忍饥挨饿了．他想改善生活，但他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕，总想碰到送上门来的意外之财。 奇迹终于发生了。深秋的一天，他正在田里耕地，周围有人在打猎。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小野兽没命的奔跑。突然， 有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。 当天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。 从此，他便不再种地。一天到晚，守着那神奇的树根，等着奇迹的出现。 成语“守株待兔”，比喻亡想不劳而得，或死守狭隘的经验，不知变通。 "An illusory snake in a goblet" is used to describe the psychological state of being frightened caused by taking illusions as reality. “杯弓蛇影”比喻把虚幻当作真实的恐惧心理。 ------------------------------------------------------- In Jin Dynasty there was a man named Yue Guang who was fond of drinking alcohol. 晋朝有个叫乐(yuè)广的人，爱喝酒。 One day, he invited a friend to his house to drink together. 一天，他邀请朋友到家里来对斟（zhēn)对饮。 Suddenly, his friend saw the reflection of a snack swimming in the goblet. 忽然，朋友看见酒杯里有条蛇影在游动。 He got so much frightened that he took ill on bed after getting home. 他受了惊吓，回去便一病不起。 And neither any doctor or any medicine could cure his illness. 请医服药，都无起色。 Yue Guang came to see him and asked about the cause of his disease. 乐广跑来看他，问明起病的缘由。 When he got to know the cause, he pulled his friend from the bed immdiately and took him to his house. 乐广听后一把拉起朋友往家走。 Yue Guang made his friend sit where he used to, pouring a goblet of alcohol for him, and asked him," Is there any snake reflection in the goblet?" 他让朋友坐在原处，斟满酒问：“有蛇影吗？” There was still a "snake reflection" in the goblet! Yue casually took away the bow hanging on the wall. 杯子里还有“蛇影”！乐广随手取下墙上的弓。 This time, the "snake reflection" disappeared. 这次，“蛇影”不见了！ "So it was the bow reflection that was in the goblet!" His friend at once got well from his illness. “杯子里原来是弓影呀！”朋友的病情顿时好了！ 天衣无缝 There was a man called Guo Han in the Tang Dynasty(618-907).One summer night, when the moon was very bright he suddenly saw a girl descending slowly from the sky. He observed the girl closely, and found that the dress she was wearing was seamless. He was puzzled, and asked why. The girl answered,"Heavenly clothes are not sewn with needle and thread." This idiom is used metaphorically to indicate the flawless handling of things. It can also be used to indicate a perfectly written poem or other literary article. 唐朝有个人教郭翰。一个夏天的晚上，月光非常明亮，他忽然看见天空中有个女子轻盈而缓慢地飘落下来。他仔细地观察那个女子，发现她身上穿的衣服连一条缝也没有，感到非常奇怪，便问那个女子。女子回答说：“天衣本来就用不着针线缝合的呀！” 这个成语用来比喻处理事情十分周密，不露一点痕迹。也比喻诗文写得很精辟，找不出一点毛病。 一丘之貉 In the Han Dynasty, there was an official called Yang Yun who was both capable and honest. Commenting on the assassination of a king of a small state, he said, “If a king refuses to follow the advice of a wise minister, he will suffer an unitimely death. The emperor of the Qin Dynasty trusted treacherous ministers, and therefore lost his state.” He compared kings and emperors to racoons living on the same mountain. This idiom refers derogatorily to people who are of the same kind. 汉朝时，有个叫杨恽的人，在朝廷做官，廉洁无私，有很有才能。有一次，他听说一个小国王被杀死，就发表议论说：“君王不采纳贤臣的计策，就会得到这种下场。秦朝皇帝宠信奸臣，所以亡国；如果重用贤臣，他的国家就不会灭亡了。”他最后总结说，古今的帝王都不过是一个山丘上的貉而已。 这个成语比喻某些人彼此相同，或者都是坏人。 黔驴技穷 从前，贵州没有驴子，有人从外地带回一头驴子，拴在山下，一只老虎看到了，以为是什么怪物，急忙躲到树林中去头头地瞧。驴子大叫一声，老虎吓了一跳，以为驴子要吃掉自己。时间一长，老虎觉得驴子没有什么恶意，逐渐走近去戏弄它，触犯它。驴子生气了，用蹄子踢老虎。老虎心里想：“你的本领不过就是如此啊！”于是立刻扑过去，一口把它咬死吃掉了。 这个成语比喻仅有的一点本事也用完了，在没有别的办法了。 The Guizhou Donkey Has Exhausted It's Tricks In ancient times there were no donkeys in Guizhou province.

After a while, seeing that the donkey had not moved, the tiger approached it and teased it. The donkey became angry, and kicked the tiger. The tiger thought to itself:"It then all it is capable of?" It then jumped on the donkey and ate it. This idiom is used to mean that one has exhauseted one's skills.
