两个树洞

My uncle has two dogs. One is big and the other is small. He likes them very much.

One day, Mr. Smith came to visit him. When the friend saw two holes in the door, a large hole and a small hole, he was surprised and said, ;My dear friend, why are there two holes in your door?; ;Let my dogs come in and come out, of course,; Mr. Smith asked. ;But why are there two holes? One is enough!; ;But how can the big dog go through the small hole?; my uncle said.

Sometimes a clever man may make such mistakes.

我的叔叔有两条狗。一只是大的，另一只是小狗的。他很喜欢它们。

有一天，史密斯先生来看他。当这个朋友看见门口上有连个洞，一个是大洞和一个小洞时，他感到吃惊并说，;我亲爱的朋友，为什么你的门上有连个洞?;我的叔叔回答说：;当然是让我的两条狗进出了。 史密斯先生问到："为什么门上要两个洞呢?一个就足够了。"我叔叔说：;大狗怎能走小洞呢?;

生活在热带森林里的毛毛虫和蚂蚁是很要好的、和睦相处的朋友，原因就是毛毛虫身上能分泌一种带甜味儿的液体，而这种液体是蚂蚁喜欢吃的。所以，一旦蚂蚁爬上毛毛虫的身体，毛毛虫就极乐意地分泌这种液体给蚂蚁舔食。蚂蚁虽然平时会吃活的动物，但它从来不吃这种毛毛虫。

毛毛虫长到了一定的时候就要做茧化蝶了。在毛毛虫吐丝做茧的日子里，它就成了最弱小的动物，基本上丧失了躲避外来攻击的能力，也最容易受到其他动物的侵害，而蚂蚁在这个时候就担当起了保卫毛毛虫的责任。蚂蚁死死地守候在毛毛虫的身边，不让其他动物接近正吐丝做茧的毛毛虫。毛毛虫做好了茧，蚂蚁还要整日整夜地固守在茧的旁边，直到毛毛虫破茧成蝶。毛毛虫破茧腾空而起之后，蚂蚁才会望着蝴蝶的身影慢慢离去。

毛毛虫一旦破茧化蝶之后，蝴蝶和蚂蚁就一个在天上飞，一个在地上爬。蚂蚁有时还会仰望天上飞翔的蝴蝶，可蝴蝶再也不会俯视地上的蚂蚁了。从此它们就成了“陌路人”，老死不相往来……

长江的一处水坝，边上堆满了城市拉圾。吃的东西真多，水坝土中的蚂蚁是发展了，又发展！一天一只老蚂蚊叫：“此处会倒坝拉，搬家吧！”很多蚁窝就急忙开始搬家，乱着一团。第二天大家看到坝仍然好好的。就责问哪只老蚂蚁，老蚂蚁说：“我没说‘马上’会倒坝啊？”众蚂蚁们仍然把新家搬到二边土壤完好的坝中。全体搬家大功告成，但仍不见原处倒坝。众蚂蚁又来责问哪只老蚂蚁！老蚂蚁又说：“我没说‘将来’不会倒坝啊”。众蚂蚁气的直骂老蚂蚁：话不讲清楚，害大家瞎忙一阵。但没过多久，水坝因为蚂蚁搬家！扩大了坝的松土坡面，提前被大水冲倒了。众蚂蚁却在惊慌跳命的浪水中叫：“还是老蚂蚁讲对了！”

有一个富贵人家，有一台台灯，台灯顶部盖着一条天蓝色的纱布，美丽极了！

有一天，台灯嘲笑蜡烛：“蜡烛呀蜡烛，你这么孤零零地站在墙角，谁会去理你？”蜡烛只说一句话：“谁都有长处和短处。”这句话激怒了台灯：“什么？你说我有短处？我哪有什么短处？每天主人写字都需要我，我脏了主人一心一意地帮我把脏物去处掉，你说我有什么短处？”蜡烛不再吭声了。台灯还再夸耀自己：“我是多么的美丽，头上盖着纱布。你却……”

突然停电了，台灯不再发光了，蜡烛却起了作用，主人把蜡烛点燃，光线亮了。蜡烛用光在找台灯，台灯拉了拉蜡烛，蜡烛回过头来，看见台灯在哭泣，就问：“怎么了？”台灯说：“都怪我不好，不知道自己的短处，就知道看自己的长处。”“别自责了！”蜡烛说，“但我们还是好朋友呀！”

台灯笑了。

蚂蚁先生的网恋

蚂蚁先生喜欢上网，其实他上网也没做其他的，只是在QQ里聊天，当然，聊天的对象大都是异性。只是到后来，蚂蚁先生碰到了某小姐姐，便不再与其他的MM们聊了。

蚂蚁先生与这位某小姐一“见”如故，在网上，真是“话逢知己千句少，只恨手少打字慢”。

找到感觉的蚂蚁先生知道自己喜欢上，不，应该说是爱上了那位某小姐。只是他还不知道对方是何身份。

蚂蚁问对方，可对方反问，你希望我是什么身份？

现在的动物王国里，跨“类”婚姻多得是。所以蚂蚁先生答道：什么都行，爱情能超脱一切界限。但他又迅速补充了一句：可绝对不能是人。

为什么？

人是什么东西啊？你不想想，要是我的朋友们知道我和一个人谈了恋爱，岂不笑死我？

---当有人自以为人时，殊不知，投在他背后的目光常常是瞧不起，甚至不屑一顾的。

每天一大早，小蚂蚁都要出门去寻找食物。有一天，走过蟋蟀家门口时，看见蟋蟀坐在漂亮的庭院里弹琴，十分羡慕。她呆呆地看着，自言自语地说：“如果我也能像蟋蟀那样，不用为寻找食物辛苦忙碌就好啦！”

草丛里的小知了“喳喳”地说：“人家有一技之长呀，我们不学无术怎能与他比呢！”

小蚂蚁也想有一技之长。于是，匆匆地去拜蛐蛐儿为师。蛐蛐儿一看说，可惜你没有这个天赋！小蚂蚁底着头回去了，羞怯怯地问妈妈，什么叫天赋？妈妈亲切地说：

“好孩子，天赋就是特长。我们蚂蚁的特长是背东西，我们个儿虽小，但力气是大的。”

后来，小蚂蚁长大了，他根据自己的特长开了一家装卸公司，生意十分红火，大家都叫他蚂蚁大力士。

真的小猛士：美国9岁男孩徒手斗鳄鱼

A brave 9-year-old is recovering in hospital after he wrestled a 9-foot, 400lb alligator off him with his bare hands - and he now plans to make a necklace from a tooth doctors found embedded in a wound on his back.

美国佛罗里达州一名9岁的小男孩，在湖中游泳时，遭到一条长9英尺(约2.7米长)、重400磅(约180多公斤)的短吻鳄袭击，赤手与其搏斗之后，小男孩身上多处受伤，目前正在医院治疗中。医生从他背部的伤口里取出一颗短吻鳄的牙齿，小男孩表示想把它做成项链。

James Barney Jr, spoke calmly and eloquently about his ordeal from hospital, where he was tucked up in bed with a teddy bear by his side. He was covered in some 30 teeth marks, doctors said.

小男孩名叫小詹姆斯·巴尼，他在医院里平静、生动地讲述了自己与短吻鳄搏斗的经历，在他床边还放有一只泰迪熊。医生说，小詹姆斯全身有30多处牙印。

小詹姆斯说那天特别热，于是他就把自行车停在一旁自己跳进了托霍普卡莱加湖，这个湖是禁止人们在里面游泳的，刚一进去他就感觉有东西擦到他的腿了。

“后来发生的事情真的让我大吃一惊。但开始的时候，我以为是有人在跟我闹着玩，我并不知道发生了什么事情。”他告诉美国广播公司(ABC)的记者。

I reached down to grab it, and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth, and I didnt know what to do, so I immediately reacted and hit it a couple times. And I had enough strength to pry its jaw open. The child pulled the powerful jaws open long enough to slide out and swim to shore.

“我潜入水中抓住了它，摸到了它的下巴，摸到了它的牙齿，可不知道该怎么做，不过我立刻就反应过来了赶紧猛打了它几下，并使劲撑开了它的嘴巴。”小詹姆斯把它的嘴巴撑得足够大后赶紧退后并向岸边游去。

Witnesses say the boy surfaced, screaming that hed been bitten by an alligator. They immediately called 911.

目击者称小男孩浮出水面后尖叫着说自己被一只短吻鳄咬到了。于是他们立刻拨打911报警。

The Lioness

A CONTROVERSY prevailed among the beasts of the field as to which of the animals deserved the most credit for producing the greatest number of whelps at a birth. They rushed clamorously into the presence of the Lioness and demanded of her the settlement of the dispute. "And you," they said, "how many sons

have you at a birth? The Lioness laughed at them, and said:

"Why! I have only one; but that one is altogether a thoroughbred Lion.The value is in the worth, not in the number.

可能导致马航飞机坠毁的原因是什么？

Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies, the Boeing 777’s reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year.

There are around 1,000 Boeing 777s in service, and the plane is a long haul workhorse, plying some of the longest routes.

It entered service in 1995 and the National Transportation Safety Board, which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft, has logged fewer than 60 incidents.

But the recent record has been more patchy with two major incidents - a crash at San Francisco airport last July, which claimed three lives, and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777 at Heathrow in January 2008.

But the Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving a Asiana Airlines flight at San Francisco International Airport in July.

Both the BA and Asiana accidents occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.

The accident at San Francisco in July was attributed to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air.

But initial reports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the 53-year-old Malaysian airlines pilot, was hugely experienced - having joined the carrier in 1981 and with 18,365 hours in the cockpit under his belt.

The BA crash landing, which did not result in any fatalities, was finally found to have been caused by a blockage in the fuel line feeding the engine.

Simply put the aircraft had the aviation equivalent of a cardiac arrest because some of the fuel failed to melt and blocked the supply line at the end of a long flight from Beijing to London, during which the plane travelled through unusually cold airspace over Siberia.

This crash has echoes of the disaster in which 288 people on board an Air France Airbus 330. That plane, another long-haul workhorse, crashed into the Atlantic en-route from Rio de Janeiro in June 2009 killing 228 people.

A variety of explanations have been given for the Air France crash, with investigators finding that the plane’s speed sensors were giving an incorrect reading.

But with this crash involving a different aircraft, it will take several months before investigators can ascertain the cause.

据英国《每日电讯报》报道，波音777飞机一直被认为是最安全机型之一，但不到一年时间里发生第二起致命坠毁必然会使其名声受损。

波音777飞机在1995年投入使用，现在运行中的波音777飞机大约有1000架，而且它们通常承担最远距离的飞行，是长途运输的主力。负责监控美国制造飞机的美国国家运输安全委员会记录的意外事件不到60件。

但是，最近的记录却因为两次重大事件显得很突出——一件为去年7月旧金山机场的坠机事件，导致三人死亡，另一件为2008年1月在希思罗机场一架英国航空公司的波音777迫降事件。

然而，本次马航事件与英国航空公司事件以及在旧金山国际机场发生的韩亚飞机坠毁事件不同。上两次事件发生在降落前的很短时间内，而马航飞机在航程开始不久就从雷达信号中消失了。

7月的旧金山机场事件归因于飞行员的错误操作，飞行员认为电脑能保持足够的速度使飞机保持空中高度，因此使发动机处于闲置状态。但是，初步报告表明53岁的马航飞行员沙阿飞行经验丰富——1981年进入马航，飞行时间已达1.8365万个小时。

英国航空公司的飞机迫降事件，没有造成人员死亡，失事原因最终确定为连接引擎的燃油管线堵塞。

假设把这次飞机失事的原因比作心脏骤停，原因是在北京到伦敦飞行的最后，经过了西伯利亚不同寻常的寒冷上空，一部分燃料没有融化堵住了供应管道。

本次马航事件让人联想到当年载有288名乘客的法航空客330坠毁事件。这架长途飞行的客机在2009年6月从里约热内卢起飞后在途中坠入大西洋，造成228人死亡。

对于法航飞机坠毁事件的原因，有多个解释，但调查发现飞机的速度传感器给出了错误的读数。但是本次马航事件的飞机与前面所述飞机不同，可能需要几个月的调查才能确定其原因。

云南鲁甸6.5级地震 2500余名官兵赶赴救援

China has deployed 2,500 soldiers to the south-western province of Yunnan to help search for survivors after an earthquake killed at least 398 people.

中国西南省份云南日前发生地震，目前已造成至少398人死亡，政府已出动2500名官兵赶往灾区协助搜救工作。

More than 1,800 people were injured when the magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck on Sunday.

云南周日发生6.1级地震，导致1800余人受伤。

Attempts to reach the epicentre have been hampered by heavy rain, with some rescuers forced to travel on foot.

救援队因暴雨受阻，只能徒步前往震中。

State broadcaster CCTV said the earthquake was the strongest to hit the mountainous province in 14 years.

中国国家电视台CCTV称，云南多山，此次地震是14年来云南省内最强的一次地震。

President Xi Jinping called for "all-out efforts" to find survivors as he dispatched soldiers to the area.

国家主席习近平在向灾区派兵的同时还作出指示，要将救人放在第一位。

They joined more than 300 police and firefighters from Zhaotong and about 400 emergency workers and sniffer dogs from across Yunnan province in the rescue operation.

参与救援行动的还有300余名昭通的武警公安和消防官兵，以及云南省派出的400名救灾人员和搜救犬。

But rescuers trying to deliver the much-needed supplies are struggling to reach the area, reports the BBCs Celia Hatton in Beijing.

但据BBC驻北京记者西莉亚·哈顿报道，搜救人员无法很快将应急物资送往震中。

Unrelenting rain and continuing landslides have left many roads in the region too damaged to use, she adds.

她补充说道，持续的暴雨和山体滑坡导致前往灾区的多个路段受阻。

Premier Li Keqiang has travelled to the area to oversee the rescue operation. And he had to walk for "over three miles" (5km) to reach the worst-hit village in Yunnan on Monday.

周一，中国国务院总理李克强赴云南视察灾情时需徒步“3英里多”(5千米)才能走到受灾最严重的村镇。

A spokesman for UN chief Ban Ki-moon said the secretary-general was "saddened by the loss of life".

联合国秘书长潘基文的发言人称，秘书长对云南地震造成人员伤亡表示悲痛。

South-west China lies in an area that is prone to earthquakes.

中国西南地区处于地震多发带。

An earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 killed tens of thousands of people while a magnitude 7.7 quake in Yunnan in 1970 killed at least 15,000.

2008年四川地震导致几万人遇难，1970年云南7.7级地震遇难人数超过1.5万人。

在我们死后，我们的挚爱可以获得我们的网络账户密码吗？

Should Your Family Get Access To Your Online Accounts When You Die?

Its a question that will eventually—hopefully not soon!—confront you, me, and every other person reading this: Should our loved ones gain access to our digital lives, from email to Instagram to financial accounts, after we die? A cadre of state-appointed lawyers are creating a bill that would allow for just that.

This is one of the more important legal dilemmas of recent years, and only a few states have clear laws on whether, say, a parent should gain access to their childs Facebook if the child dies, or whether a wife should get access to financial information locked in her deceased husbands email account. This week at its annual meeting, the Uniform Law Commission—a Chicago-based group of lawyers who are appointed to write clear and stable language for new legislation—will finalize its recommended language for a law that would give loved ones access to all of your digital accounts after you die. Unless you specify otherwise.

As the AP reports today, the bill would create a legal process for gaining access, which can be incredibly difficult today:

Most people assume they can decide what happens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and most companys "terms of service" agreements prohibit anyone from accessing an account that isnt theirs. That means loved ones technically become criminals if they log on to a dead persons account.

And thats assuming they even have the password. Going up against giants like Google makes the process even more difficult. And for a grieving family, it can be all but impossible.

The bill would give access—but not control—to loved ones unless they specifically wrote in their will that they wouldnt allow it.

谈起蚂蚁，你立刻就会想起那些小得差不多都看不着，成天在地上爬来爬女的小家伙。

蚂蚁们从早晨开始就到处寻找食物了，接着团结起来往窝里搬运，一直工作到天黑得啥都看不到了，蚂蚁们才愿意停一停，吃一些东西然后去睡觉。

对于蚂蚁这种小动物你是如何看的呢?

有人回答说：

“蚂蚁非常能干，为了能过上好日子，不惜把汗水流干!”

还有人回答说：

“蚂蚁是一个大傻瓜，有吃有喝就可以了，为什么还要不知休息地苦干呢!就算干到老又能如何呢?”

人们目前差不多都有权利去评论蚂蚁，但是你知不知道，蚂蚁刚开始的时候曾经是人的同类!

在远古时代，蚂蚁也是人，那时，蚂蚁们以种田为生。蚂蚁们非常勤劳，每天都会日出而作，日落而息，差不多没有一分钟不是在田地里劳作的。

有了付出就一定会有收获，每年蚂蚁们都会收获很多粮食的。等到秋收完蚂蚁们的家里，不管是屋里还是屋外，仓库里面还是仓库外面全都堆满了各种各样的粮食。

可是，虽然拥有了这样多吃不完的粮食，蚂蚁们仍旧非常贪婪，一见到其他人的东西，总是想占为已有。

有一年，蚂蚁们种的庄稼又获得了大丰收，可是其他人连饭都吃不上了，不过这些人的手里却藏着珠宝。

蚂蚁们看见别人拥有珠宝，于是绞尽脑汁想搞到自己的羊上。因此，蚂蚁们拿粮食把珠宝换到自己的手里了。

珠宝到手以后，可是粮食却到了其他人的手里。到了夜里，蚂蚁们又悄悄地把那粮食全都偷了回来。许多人失去了粮食，没过多少天就有很多人被活活饿死了。

万神之主宙斯看见蚂蚁们这样贪心，心里十分愤怒，于是决心惩罚蚂蚁们。

因此，宙斯念起了咒语，把蚂蚁们变成了目前叫做蚂蚁的这种小家伙。

蚂蚁们的形状尽管改变了许多，可是习性却依然那样。直到现在，蚂蚁们仍在地里忙来忙去，四处收集大麦与小麦，替自己储藏起来，从来都不嫌多。

慧言智语：

本则寓言说明：生性不良之辈，纵受到严厉惩罚，亦难弃邪归正。

因此，不要祈求坏人会变好，对付坏人的办法是消灭坏人。

上次兔子输了以后很不甘心，就找乌龟说：来呀，有本事再来比一次跑步。乌龟答应了。

这一次，兔子选了一段下坡路作为比赛路线。这一次，一开始兔子就快速地向前跑。而乌龟呢?他把身子缩在了自己的壳里，由于是下坡路，乌龟越滚越快，不一会儿就超过了兔子。最终取得了胜利。

兔子回到家里，非常生气，想自己为什赢不了乌龟?觉得很丢脸，就再一次向乌龟挑战，说：咱们再比一场，在老地方老规矩，我一定赢你!乌龟答应了。

这天，动物们都来看龟兔赛跑。

一声令下，乌龟和兔子都跑了起来。到了下坡路，兔子想向乌龟一样滚下坡，但又怕摔伤，可又转念一想，乌龟不是滚下去都没受伤吗?兔子就下定决心向下一滚。到了坡底下，兔子怎么也起不来了。心想，真倒霉呀，气死我了!恰巧乌龟到了坡上边，又滚到了坡下面。乌龟刚想走，忽然发现兔子在旁边，就问：怎么拉?兔子也不说，想，你肯定想占我便宜，我就不告诉你。乌龟见兔子没反应，害怕出了事，立马背起了兔子，边跑边喊：快来人呀!有人手伤拉!可没人说话帮忙，急死乌龟了。

乌龟一个人背着兔子跑到了终点，动物们都跑上前去。乌龟累的满头大汗，而兔子呢?早已感动的流泪了。动物们为乌龟颁奖，兔子也说：看来我还是不如你呀!

在一个风和日丽的早晨，小公鸡兴高采烈地到草原上玩耍。一只狐狸看见了，想吃公鸡。它眼珠子生转，想了一个鬼主意。

狐狸跑到公鸡旁边说：“公鸡兄弟，我们两国为什么要战斗呢？”

公鸡说：“因为你们想吃我们呀！”

狐狸想了想说：“让我们交个朋友，永远和平吧。”

公鸡想：“这个狐狸肯定有什么鬼计。先假装答应它比较好。”于是公鸡就对狐狸说：“好吧。”

“那么公鸡兄弟，今天是我的生日，晚上你来我家一起庆祝吧。”狐狸一边说一边还流口水。

公鸡说：“好呀！不过就我们两个人多没意思呀？不然我把我的同伴也请过去。好不好？”

狐狸想了想，觉得这样可以多吃一些小动物，就可以一举多得了。狐狸说：“可以呀！越多人去越热闹，对了，你有多少个朋友呢？”

公鸡笑了笔说：“我有好多个朋友呢。有母鸡、小鸡、公鸭、母鸭、小兔子……”狐狸听着听着，眼睛越瞪越大，好像都快掉下来了。

小公鸡突然叫了一声：“对了！我还有一个最好的朋友大象。还有一个结拜兄弟狮子。我今天还邀请它们来这里玩，过一会儿我把你生日的事告诉它们。”小公鸡一边说着一边还骄傲地拍拍翅膀。狐狸听了吓得抱着头逃走了。

小公鸡用它的智慧吓跑了狐狸，小公鸡可真聪明。

The Fox and the Crow 狐狸和乌鸦

One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crows beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

有一天,一只乌鸦站在窝旁的树枝上嘴里叼着一片肉，心里非常高兴。这时候，一只狐狸看见了乌鸦，馋得直流口水，非常想得到那片肉。但是，无论狐狸说什么，乌鸦就是不理睬狐狸。最后，狐狸赞美乌鸦的嗓音最优美，并要求乌鸦唱几句让他欣赏欣赏。乌鸦听了狐狸赞美的话，得意极了，就唱起歌来。没想到，肉一掉下来，狐狸就叼起肉，钻回了洞

[英语寓言趣味故事The Fox and the Crow

自从乌鸦被狐狸骗走了一块肉，它便吸取了教训，决心不再上狐狸的当。

一天，狐狸经过一棵苹果树，看见树上有一个个饱满、红彤彤的大苹果，馋得口水直流。于是狐狸开始想办法如何吃到苹果，怎样可以不劳而获呢？这时，狐狸看见乌鸦在树上正叼着一个饱满、红彤彤的大苹果。于是，狐狸绞尽脑汁，终于想出了一个阴谋诡计。

狐狸装作友好地向乌鸦问好，接着，它看了一眼乌鸦嘴里的苹果，便装模作样地大声尖叫起来：“乌鸦，你嘴里叼着的你可知道是什么吗？那可是蛊毒呀！我好心劝你还是丢掉吧！”

乌鸦想：可恶的狐狸，上次骗了我的肉，这次还想骗我。我才不上当呢！于是，乌鸦把头一歪，假装没听见狐狸的话。狐狸不罢休，继续说道：“乌鸦，我知道我骗过人，你不信我。可我的知识比你渊博，我已经看出来这是毒，我劝你快快扔掉。”

乌鸦又想：狐狸不就罢休的，我飞走吧。于是，乌鸦拍拍翅膀，准备飞走。

狐狸不到黄河心不死，它一把鼻涕一把眼泪，瓮声瓮气地说：“乌鸦，你千万别吃啊，快丢了吧！”

乌鸦想：事不过三，狐狸这次也许真的没有骗我。于是，他张开嘴巴，把屁股丢到了地上。

狐狸欢欢喜喜地拿起苹果，跑走了。

乌鸦后悔极了，这次，乌鸦又上了狐狸的当。

比喻没有眼力，取舍不当。

(二)【疑邻盗斧】

从前有个乡下人，丢了一把斧子。他以为是邻居家的儿子偷去了，于是处处注意那人的一言一行，一举一动，越看越觉得那人像是盗斧的贼。

后来，丢斧子的人找到了斧子，原来是前几天他上山砍柴时，一时疏忽失落在山谷里。找到斧子后，他又碰见了邻居的儿子，再留心看看他，怎么也不像贼了。

疑邻盗斧：不注重事实根据，对人、对事胡乱猜疑。

(三)【拔苗助长】

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。

(四)【不可救药】

周朝有位卿士叫凡伯。凡伯不但有诗才，而且善于治理国事。后来，他在周厉王身边辅佐朝政。可是，周厉王飞横跋扈，枉法断事。奸臣则百般诌媚讨好。凡伯直言相劝，列数朝政弊端，奸臣却在周厉王耳边说他的坏话。

周厉王对凡伯十分厌烦，从此，奸臣出入宫廷，不把凡伯放在眼里。凡伯十分愤慨，写了一首诗，后来收入《诗经》。诗中抨击奸臣说：“作恶多端，不可救药!”

“不可救药”：病重到不能用药救活。后比喻事物坏到无法挽救的地步。

(五)【黔驴技穷】

从前贵州一带没有毛驴，有一个好事者从北方运来一头毛驴放到山脚下吃草，山上的老虎发现了这个怪物，开始只有远远的望着，然后慢慢地靠近毛驴，被毛驴大叫吓了一跳，最后发现毛驴只能用蹄踢，再也没有别的本事就跳上去饱餐一顿。

黔：今贵州省一带;技：技能;穷：尽。比喻有限的一点本领也已经用完了。

很久很久以前，有一只大象他非常凶猛，所有的动物都怕它。

可是蚂蚁却不怕大象。大象听到这消息说：“蚂蚁这小东西，这么小还想跟我斗，看我不一脚踩死你。”

话传到蚂蚁那里去，于是，蚂蚁勇敢地走到大象的面前。说：“死大象我来了。”

大象闻声就抬起脚了，准备踩蚂蚁，可是却不知蚂蚁在哪。心想：天啊，怎么这么小，我看都没看到你。但是大象死要面子，不敢说出来，只能凭感觉踩下去！

“没踩着！‘”蚂蚁得意的说。

大象说：“哼，我才不想踩你呢，你这小东西。”

蚂蚁听到这话，脑子就机灵的动起来了。说：“我看你是看不到我吧，大家伙。”

还没等大象回答，蚂蚁就想了一个法子来治它。“噔”地一下，就爬上了大象的腿上，狠狠的咬了一下。“

哎呀，好痛，又好痒！”大象非常痛苦。说：“好好好，我投降，蚂蚁就爬了出来说：“好，那你以后一定要帮助动物，不可以欺负动物们，听到了没有。”

大象连忙点头答应说：“答应了，答应了。”

从此大象再也没有欺负动物们了，蚂蚁也成了动物们心中的英雄。
