用英语写画蛇添足的故事（经典20篇）

"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！

李阳祖籍山西，1969年出生于祖国大西北的新疆乌鲁木齐。其父母六十年代大学毕业后响应党的号召志愿支援边疆建设。李阳中学的学习状况不很理想，1985-1986年高三期间因对学习失去信心曾几欲退学，1986年自新疆实验中学勉强考入兰州大学工程力学系。大学一二年级李阳多次补考英语。

为了彻底改变英语学习失败的窘况，李阳开始奋起一博，他摒弃了偏重语法训练和阅读训练的传统，另辟蹊径，从口语突破，并独创性将考试题变成了朗朗上口的句子，然后脱口而出。经过四个月的艰苦努力，李阳在1988年大学英语四级考试中一举获得全校第二名的优异成绩。

李阳，绝对是高中学生学习英语的榜样。基础差不要紧，笨鸟先飞嘛，关键是我们要引导学生树立起学好英语的自信心：人家可以讲一口流利、纯正、地道的英语，我们也一定能！

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, "Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."

[英语哲理故事有哪些

A snake, having made his hole close to the door of a cottage, inflicted a sever bite on the cottagers little son. So the child died.

This caused much sorrow to his parents. The father decided to kill the snake. The next day, on its coming out of its hole for food, he took up his ax, but, making too much haste to hit the snake, missed its head, and cut off only the end of its tail.

After some time the cottager, lest the snake should also bite him, tried to make peace, and placed some bread and salt beside its hole, the snake, slightly hissing, said, "From now on there can be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son."

No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.

有条蛇在一家农舍的门边打了个洞，并把主人的小孩咬了一口，孩子就一命呜呼。

这对夫妇痛不欲生。孩子的父亲决意弄死那条蛇。第二天，当蛇出洞觅食之时，他举起斧头就砍那条蛇。可惜太操之过急，没砍中蛇头，只砍断了尾巴。

过了一阵子，屋主很害怕那条蛇会以牙还牙，就想同蛇讲和，于是就将一些面包和盐放在洞口。那条蛇发出丝丝的声音作出回答：“从今以后，在我们之间不会有和平。因为我一看到你，就会想自己被砍掉的尾巴;同样当你见到我时， 你会想起你死去的儿子。”

面对伤害过自己的人，我们难以真正忘记有过的创痛。

画蛇添足

Drawing a Snake and Adding Feet to It

In the past a family in the State of Chu made sacrificial offers to their ancestors, and after that they rewarded the people who helped in the ceremony with the pot of wine used in it.

从前，楚国有一户人家，祭完祖宗以后，把一壶祭祀时用过的酒，赏给帮助办事的人喝。

There were many helpers but only one pot of wine. Who should drink it? Someone suggested:

办事的人很多，可是酒只有一壶，到底给谁喝呢?有人提议说:

"Each person is to draw a snake on the ground. Whoever draws fastest and most lifelike will get the pot of wine."

“各人都在地上画一条蛇，谁画得快、画得像，就把这壶酒给谁喝。”

Everyone thought this was a good idea.

大家都认为这个办法很好。

One man drew very fast, finished it in the twinkling of an eye, and was given the pot of wine. At this moment, he saw that the others had not yet finished, so he wanted to flaunt his skill once more. He said proudly:

有一个人画得很快，一转眼，就把蛇画好了。这壶酒应该归他。可是，这时候，他看看别人都没有画好，就想再炫耀一下自己的能耐。他得意洋洋地说:

"How slow you are! Let me add a few snake feet."

“你们画得多慢啊，让我再画上几只蛇脚吧!”

Holding the wine pot in his left hand, he began to add feet to the finished snake with his right hand. When he was just adding feet to the snake, another man finished his drawing. He grabbed the wine pot at once, saying:

他左手拿着酒壶，右手又开始给画好了的蛇添上脚。当他正在添足的时候，另一个人却把蛇画好了，而且立刻把酒壶夺了过去，说:

"A snake has no feet. How could you add feet to it? The first one who finished drawing a snake is I, not you."

“蛇是没有脚的，你怎么画上了脚?第一个画好蛇的是我，不是你哩!”

Having said this, the man drank the wine with an easy conscience.

那人说完话，就心安理得地喝起酒来。

Bob Richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.

Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always On the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.

But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don‘t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "Coach, please let me play. I‘ve just got to play today," said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "All right," he said."You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone The coach came to him and said, " Kid, I can‘t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?"

He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"

Like the athlete‘s father, God is always there cheering for us. He‘s always reminding us to go on. He‘s even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. GOD has never missed a single game. What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest. Live for HIM for He‘s watching us in the game of life!

乡村真美。此时正值夏季，田里的小麦都呈现金黄色而燕麦依然青绿。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上，广阔的树林围绕着

田野和草地，树林的中央有多处深邃的湖泊，在阳光最充足的地方矗立着一栋老旧的大宅邸。这栋宅邸被一条深长的壕沟所包围，茂盛的

叶子从这栋房子干部上的藤蔓往下长，延伸到河水的边缘。其中有一些叶子很大，小孩子可以拿它们来当雨伞。

在森林的深处有一只母鸭子坐在她的巢中，她的小鸭子们即将孵出来。

终于蛋一个接一个地开始裂了。 “吱，吱！”小鸭们叫着。“呱，呱！”母鸭回道。“这个世界好大啊！”小鸭子异口同声道。

The countryside was lovely. It was summer. The wheat was golden and the oats were still

green. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows.

There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods. In the sunniest spot stood an old mansion surrounded by a deep moat.

Great leaves grew from the vines on the walls of the house right down to the waters edge.

Some of the leaves were so big that a child could use them as an umbrella.

In the depths of a forest a duck was sitting in her nest. Her little ducklings were about to be hatched.

At last one egg after another began to crack." Cheep, cheep!" the ducklings said." Quack, quack!" said the duck.

" How big the world is!" said all the young ones.

但最大的蛋依旧在那儿，于是她又再坐回她的巢中。

一只年长的鸭子过来拜访她说：“喂！你近来可好吗？”坐着的母鸭回答说：“这枚蛋花了很长的时间，

壳偏偏还不裂开，不过其他的小鸭都是最完美的鸭子，他们很像他们的爸爸。”

年长的鸭子说：“让我看看那枚不会裂开的蛋，你或许是坐在一枚火鸡的蛋上！我曾经像那样被骗过一次。不错，那是火鸡的蛋！

你最好不要管它，去教其它的小鸭游泳吧。”

“我要再多坐一会儿。”

But the biggest egg was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.

"Well, how are you getting on?" said an old duck who came to pay her a visit." This egg is taking such a long time," answered the sitting duck."

The shell will not crack, but the others are the finest ducklings. They are like their father."

"let me look at the egg which wont crack," said the old duck." You may be sitting on a turkeys egg!

I have been cheated like that once. Yes. its a turkeys egg!

You had better leave it alone and teach the other children to swim."

"I will sit on it a little longer."

终于这枚巨蛋裂开了。这小子可真是又大又丑！她说：“那是一只非常巨大的鸭子，其他的小鸭没有一只看起来像他一样。

他会是火鸡的孩子吗？我会尽快查清楚，我将叫他下水去。”

隔天这只母鸭带着她的一家人走到壕沟。

她跳入水中，“呱，呱，”她说，小鸭们一只接一只地跳进河里。

这只又大又丑的鸭子跟着他们一起游来游去，她说：“不是的，那不是火鸡。呱，呱！现在跟我来，我将带你们去参观这个世界，

要一直靠近我并小心猫！”第一天过去了，一切都还顺利。

At last the big egg cracked. How big and ugly the baby was! " That is a very big duckling." she said,

" None of the others look like that. Can he be a turkeys chick?

I will soon find out. I will make him go into water."

The next day the mother duck with her family went down to the moat. She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.

The big ugly one swam about with them." No, that is no turkey," she said," Quack, quack! Now come with me

and I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!"

The first day passed, and everything was fine.

之后，事情愈来愈糟。这只可怜的小鸭被所有的小鸭追逐和骚扰，因为他长得很丑。大鸭们咬他，母鸡们啄他，

而喂食他们的女孩把他踢到旁边去。于是他离家出走，不久就来到一片野鸭住的广阔沼泽。

他双疲倦又痛苦，因此他整晚都在那里。

早上这群野鸭们飞来看他们的新朋友。这些野鸭说：“你长得非常丑，但那对我们来说无所谓。”他在那里整整待了两天，

然后有两只野雁飞过来。就在那个时候，他听到“砰！砰！”的声音，那两只野雁摔落在芦苇丛中死了。

对这只可怜的小鸭子来说，那是一项很可怕的冲击。

Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.

The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.

He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.

In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend." You are very ugly," said the wild ducks," but that does not matter to us."

He stayed there two whole days . And then two wild geese came.

Just at that moment the sound of "Bang! Bang!" was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.

It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.

一只巨大的狗出现在他的身边，离他很近。这只狗露出锐利的牙齿，继续往前走，没有碰他。

这只小鸭叹息说：“哦，谢谢老天爷！我是这么丑，因此连狗都不会咬我！”

晚上他来到一间小屋。这间小屋住着一位老婆婆和她的猫及母鸡。她的视力不好，以为这只小鸭是一只肥鸭。

她说：“要是我有了鸭蛋，我就发财了，”因此她留这只小鸭住了3个星期，但他并没有下蛋。

这只猫是这间房子的主人，而这只母鸡是女主人。

A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.

"Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog wont bite me!"

sighed the duckling.

In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with her cat and her hen.

Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck.

"I will be rich if I have duck eggs," she said.

So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no eggs.The cat was the master of the house

and the hen was the mistress.

母鸡说：“你能不能下蛋呢？”

小鸭回答说：“不能。”

这只猫说：“那么你最好离开到外面广阔的世界去。”就这样这只小鸭离开了。

有一天晚上，太阳刚刚下山，此时有一群漂亮的大鸟从矮树丛飞出来。

小鸭心想：“我从来没有看过这么漂亮的东西。”

"Can you lay eggs?" asked the hen.

"No," answered the duckling.

"Then you had better go out into the wide world," said the cat. So away went the duckling.

One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.

The duckling thought," Ive never seen anything so beautiful."

他们有长长的脖子，全身是令人眩目的白色。他们是天鹅，他并不知道这些鸟是什么鸟。

冬天非常地寒冷刺骨，因此这只小鸭在水中游来游去以免冻僵了。

太阳又开始温暖地照耀着，云雀在歌唱，美丽的春天已经来临了。突然这只小鸭举起他的翅膀， 而翅膀拍动的力气要比以前大，

不知不觉中，他发觉自己已置身在一座巨大的花园里，花园里的苹果树开满了花，紫丁香长长的枝桠垂挂在湖岸边。

就在他的面前，他看到三只美丽的白天鹅向他游过来。

They were dazzlingly white with long necks. They were swans.

He did not know what the birds were.

The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.

The sun began to shine warmly again. The larks were singing and beautiful spring had come.

Then, all at once, the duckling raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before.

Before he knew it, he found himself in a large garden where the apple trees were in

full blossom and long branches of lilacs overhung the shores of the lake.

Just in front of him he saw three beautiful white swans swimming towards him.

“我将朝他们飞去而他们将会把我劈成粉碎，因为我长得非常丑。

不过没有关系，我宁愿被他们杀死也不愿被那些鸭子咬或是被那些母鸡啄。”

因此他飞入水中朝这些天鹅游过去，他们看到他就向他冲过来。

“杀死我吧，噢，杀死我吧！”可怜的小鸭说着朝水中低头，等待死亡的来临。

但他在清澈的水中看到什么样了呢？

"I will fly to them and they will hack me to pieces because I am so ugly.

But it doesnt matter. I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the ducks or pecked by the hens."

So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.

"Kill me! Oh, kill me!" said the poor duckling,

and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.

But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird.

他不再是只黑灰丑陋的鸟，他竟然是一只天鹅！

有些小孩手拿玉米和面包来到这个花园，将这些东西投入水中。

个子最小的那个孩子兴高采烈地大叫：“有一只新来的天鹅。”其他的孩子大叫：

“对啊！来了一只新的。”

他对着自己说：“当我是那只丑小鸭的时候，我从来也没梦想过我能够这么快乐！”

He was himself a swan!

Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.

The smallest child shouted with joy," There is a new one."

The other children shouted, "Yes, a new one has come."

He said to himself,

" I never dreamed that I could be so happy when I was the ugly duckling!"

Long, long ago, a farmer thought the shoots in his fields were not growing fast enough. He wanted to help them.So he pulled every shoot up, then went home, feeling very tired but very satisfied. "Look, how great I an! I can think out such a good idea.From now on, my shoots will grow faster and faster," he thought. "I an very tired today," he said to his family, "Ive been helping the young shoots to grow."When his son heard this, he ran out to the fields to have a look.To his surprise, he found all the shoots weredead.

很久很久以前，一个农夫感觉他田里的幼苗长得不是很快，他想帮助它们。于是他就向上拔它们，然后回了家，虽然感觉很累但是却很满意。他默默地想：“瞧我多么的伟大，我能想出如此好的办法。从现在起，我的幼苗将会生长得越来越快。”于是他对家人说：“我今天累坏了，我在帮助幼苗生长。”当他的儿子听到这话，便匆忙跑到地里去看。让他吃惊的是，他发现所有的幼苗都死了。

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.

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。

The little boy described how it was a hot day so he had parked his bike and jumped into Lake Tohopekaliga - a lake that people are forbidden to swim in - when he felt something brush against his leg.

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。

It really amazed me what happened. At first, I thought someone was just playing with me, and I didnt know what happened, he told ABC.

“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。

“太阳底下最光辉的事业”、“人类灵魂的工程师”……不知道有多少人用这样深情的字眼来讴歌教师这一平凡而又伟大的职业!曾经的她也是一样，憧憬着自己手拿粉笔奋起疾书的画面。经过几年的努力，她成了一名优秀的小学英语老师。今天小编就来分享最美英语老师王云的故事,希望读者喜欢。

最美英语老师王云的故事

一、精备每节课

从十四年前踏上讲台的那一刻，她就明白自己的生活就是这样的单调：学校，家，与那灯火柳绿的社会，她始终保持应该有的距离。在她毕业第一年的时候，也是她小学英语起步的第一年，学校给她的就是一本书，别的什么也没有，于是，别人所有的休闲时间，她都用来制作教具，自己动手画课文的插图，寻找一切可以用来辅助教学的工具，当时就有很多人劝她：英语又不是作为主科的，最后也不要考试，你干嘛这么认真，差不多就行了!对于别人的“善意提醒”，她只能抱以一笑，坚持沉浸在自己的“快乐”之中，为了上出一节让学生感兴趣的课，为了让自己的每一节课都达到自己满意的效果，为了那一张张充满期待的小脸和初学英语的热情和喜悦，她所有的辛苦和努力都显得是那么的有价值。

二、争当好老师

在她心目中，希望学生把她当作朋友一样，可以交心的。所以她一直努力营造一种更为和谐的师生关系，无论是生活中，还是学习上，她都乐意为他们排忧解难，她希望每一个在自己课堂上的学生都是“亲其师而信其道”的，她的坚持，从后来到她课堂上听课的老师那儿得来的反馈得到了很好的印证，每一个老师都能感受到她与学生之间的融洽，她在关注学生时的投入与真诚，学生在听时的入神，教师与学生互动的和谐，她觉得这已经成为了一种享受。她常用乐观无私的心态看待自己的职业，她从中发现无尽的快乐，汲取工作的热情，收获成功的喜悦。

刚毕业时所教的四年级学生中，有一个叫陆曼的小女孩，活泼，开朗，特别喜欢学英语，课堂表现特别的棒，王老师一直以为她是一个优秀的学生，后来通过与其他老师还有她家长的交流，才知道，她的语文成绩只有六十几分，数学也好不到哪儿去，王老师就觉得很困惑，这样一个热情向上的小女孩怎么就成了别的老师眼中的“差生”了呢?王老师不能理解，更不能接受，于是总是利用课间的时候找学生聊聊天，终于知道，原来她的语、数成绩不好，是因为她不喜欢语文和数学老师，觉得她们太严厉了，就讨厌学习这两门课程，所以就越学越差。真的，如果只是因为这种原因，让这样一个原本可以很优秀的学生就这样放弃了自己，真是太可惜了。王老师耐心的开导陆曼，告诉她，每一个老师的教学方法有不同，但每一个老师的出发点都是一样的，都是为了学生好，希望他们能够进步，学有所得。这是一个懂事的女孩，通过与科任老师的协调，对于陆曼的点滴进步都予以表扬，很快，陆曼就让王老师看到了出乎意料的效果，最后考上了南京晓庄师范学校。王老师很感动，感动于自己当初的坚持，其实这样的学生她每一年都会遇到，并且她也一如继往的以自己的耐心和爱心去感化，教育他们，希望每一个孩子都成为一朵美丽的花朵，为祖国贡献一份自己的力量。

三、热衷教科研

打铁还需自身硬，她不是一名专业的英语老师，却从此踏上了英语教学的岗位，她知道自己将付出的要比别人多得多，每一个单词，每一篇课文，在教学生之前，都要反反复复的跟录音读很多遍。在教学之余，她能潜心钻研，认真学习教学理念，充实自己，完善自己，积极的撰写教学心得，总结在教学中的一些体会和经验，把实践的教学心得上升到理论的层次和高度，个人的多篇教研论文在省市教学杂志上发表，多篇论文在国家、省、市级评比中获奖，撰写的全镇英语质量分析报告连续3年获得县评比一等奖。此外，还积极参与课题研究，并将课程研究成果运用到日常英语教学中去，先后主持了县十五、十一五、十二五课题研究，均顺利结题。

功夫不负有心人，她的文章陆续发表于各类报刊、杂志，各类评比的荣誉证书接踵而至，指导学生的习作大量发表，自己也成为一名县小学英语教学能手。

四、争做好队友

工作中她都能够坚持发挥自己乐于助人的善良本性，无论是哪一个老师需要帮助，她都会不遗余力的去贡献自己的力量。所以，每一个老师在需要上公开课，或者比赛课，或者是教学中有什么困惑的时候，都喜欢来找她，和她一起探讨，或者请她帮忙出主意，做课件等等，同事们的信任对她来说就是最大的动力，记不清有多少个夜晚为了别人的课，或是别人的课件她熬到深夜，有时候只是为一句话，或是一个字体，一个图片，反反复复的修改，只是为了不辜负别人对她的信赖。看到同事们一个个取得喜人的成绩她也由衷的替她们感到高兴!

付出总有回报，她的努力获得了学校领导，同事，学生，家长的一致认何，这让她感到作为一个教师的无比幸福。她不知道，做一名好老师，究竟有什么样的标准，她只知道努力做一名好老师，并且将一直坚持下去!

The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating mans behavior.

People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distillers grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure3 them into traps and cursed:"Humph! Do you think we dont know your tricks? Well never be taken in!"

So they called one another, turned round and left.

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldnt bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation5, they finally said to themselves: "Just for a taste of the wine. It wont matter as long as we dont get drunk."

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla1 put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

忘乎所以

南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂：“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说：“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

Highly Talented

Tsau Pi and Tsau Jr were sons of Tsau Tsau. Both were very gifted writers, and Tsau Jr was especially quick-witted.

After Tsau Tsaus death, Tsau Pi took over the throne of the kingdom of wei. Jealous of Tsau Jrs literary ability, and afraid that he might cause problems, Tsau Pi was always looking for a way to kill his brother.

One day, Tsau Pi called Tsau Jr into see him.He ordered his brother to make up a poem within the time it took to walk seven steps, adding that if he could not, his life would be in danger.

Greatly saddened, Tsau Jr began to walk and to think. Before he had taken the seven steps, he had already finished his poem, the meaning of which was: "Brothers are of the same family, so why should the oppress each other?"

Tsau Jr was very intelligent and loved to study. He wrote many outstanding articles which showed his artistic talent and earned him the admiration of many people. One scholar said of him: "Heaven gave the world ten decalitres of talent, and Tsau Jr alone has eight of them."

Today, to say that a person "has eight decalitres of talent" is to say that he has a great aptitude for writing.

才高八斗

曹丕与曹植都是曹操的儿子，二者均有才华，特别是曹植更具文采。

在曹操，死后，曹丕继任大统，但他嫉妒曹植的才华，同时也惧怕曹植回谋反，所以一直在伺机杀害曹植。

有一天，曹丕要求接见曹植，他要求曹植在他七步之内作诗一首，如果做不到，就会有生命危险。

悲愤之下，曹植急中生智，作出七步诗，是的意思就是“本来就是亲兄弟，为什么要这样步步紧逼，伤及感情？”

曹植文采俱佳，热爱学习，他曾做过不少才华横溢的文赋，均令世人感叹不已。曾有一位学者说道：“如若天下文采共有十斗，曹植一人独占八斗。”

今天，如果我们说一个人“才高八斗”，就是指他“才华横溢，很有文采”。

楚国人胡卜，年轻时在一个县尹家里当门客，专管祭祀方面的工作。他有两大爱好：一是喝酒，一是画画。

一天，县尹带领胡卜等一千人，去祠堂祭祀祖宗，拜祭完毕后还有剩余的酒，县尹便将其中一壶酒赏给胡卜等随行门客。这时有人提议：“县尹赏给我们的只有一壶酒，如果人人有份就不够喝，但若是让一个人喝就绰绰有余。我有个建议，不知是否可行？我们在地上比赛画蛇，谁画得最快，这壶酒就是谁的。”大家都同意了。胡卜更是暗暗叫好，他好的就是酒这一口，而且画蛇也是他的拿手好戏。县尹也来了兴致，自愿出任裁判。

县尹一声令下，门客们都拿着树枝在地上画了起来。胡卜轻车熟路，三下五去二地就画好了。县尹将酒递给了他。胡卜正打算喝时，看见别人都还在地上忙乎，他就洋洋得意地说：“你们画得好慢呀，等我给蛇再画上4只脚吧！”

胡卜的。蛇脚还没画完，另一个人已经把蛇画好了。那人一把夺过酒壶说：“你这画的是什么玩意，有谁见过长脚的蛇？没说的，这酒应该是我的了。”说完，一仰脖子，痛快地把一壶酒喝了个底朝天。

县尹和那些门客都嘲笑胡卜是个做事缺心眼的家伙：“瞧瞧，这哪里画的是蛇，简直就是一只壁虎嘛！”

胡卜懊悔不已，酒没喝着还引来了人们的讥讽，他红着脸灰溜溜地走了。

从这以后，胡卜都害怕出门了，出门就会有人笑他。有时上街为县尹采买物品，认识他的人就会装着郑重其事的样子问他：“兄弟，还在画蛇吗？”

胡卜也不好发作，只好忍气吞声地说：“没事画那玩意干啥。”

但胡卜的内心很不好受。他知道如果继续在这里呆下去，人们还会拿“画蛇添足”的故事说事。胡卜向县尹提出了辞去门客的职务，到外地谋生去了。

斗转星移，一晃10年过去了。

一天，胡卜又回到了家乡。胡卜回乡后的第一件事就是要挽回10年前的负面影响。胡卜派人到处张贴布告：为了将本县打造成绘画艺术之乡，特在本县范围内开展一次绘画比赛，比赛内容：纸上画蛇。人们看了布告后不由自主地想起胡卜10年前画蛇添足的笑话，大家猜测，胡卜这家伙肯定不会参赛的。

可是出人意料的是胡卜照样参与其中。通过一个多小时的现场角逐后，比赛结果当堂公布，人们惊奇地发现，获奖者竟然是胡卜，更令人们惊奇的是，胡卜画的仍然是一条有脚的蛇。这就很令人不可思议了，当年的门客们在想：“胡卜这家伙，莫不真是缺心眼，他难道忘记了10年前画蛇添足的故事吗？这脱离实际的有脚之蛇怎么偏偏就获了奖呢？难道评委们的脑袋都进了水不成？”

直至第二天看了报，人们才明白了就里。

第二天的《楚天日报》头版头条刊登了胡卜的蛇画，还附有一则盛赞这幅画的评论文章：《我们的时代就需要这种敢于创新的精神》。文章中说：“蛇本无足，但是在作者的笔下，它有足了。当今社会我们需要的就是这种敢为天下先的开拓创新精神。没有我们做不到的，只有我们想不到的。思想有多远我们就能走多远。作者10年前就大胆地画蛇添足，他的思想比起我们有些因循守旧的人，至少要开放10年。胡卜为我们的领导干部做出了榜样……”

楚有祠者，赐其舍人卮酒。舍人相谓曰：“数人饮之不足，一人饮之有余。请画地为蛇，先成者饮酒。”

一人蛇先成，引酒且饮之，乃左手持卮，右手画蛇曰：“我能为之足！”未成，一人之蛇成夺取卮曰：“蛇固无足，子安能为之足？”遂饮其酒。为蛇足者，终亡其酒。

点评：

这个画蛇添足的人，不仅骄傲，而且愚蠢，弄巧成拙，到口的酒反被别人喝了。喝不成酒事小，害人害已事大。有的人办事，总是觉得自己高明，比别人了不起，于是不顾客观实际，主观武断，失败的，不论对国家、人民或自己，都具有危害性。

古时候，楚国有一家人，祭完祖宗之后，准备将祭祀用的一壶酒，赏给帮忙办事的人员喝。参加的人很多，这壶酒如果大家都喝是不够的，若是让一个人喝，那能喝得有余。这一壶酒到底怎么分呢？

大家都安静下来，这时有人建议：每个人在地上画一条蛇，谁画得快又画得好，就把这壶酒归他喝。大家都认为这个方法好，都同意这样做。于是，在地上画起蛇来。

有个人画得很快，一转眼最先画好了，他就端起酒壶要喝酒。但是他回头看看别人，还都没有画好呢。心里想：他们画得真慢。又想显示自己的本领，他洋洋得意地说：“你们画得好慢啊！我再给蛇画几只脚也不算晚呢！”于是，他便左手提着酒壶，右手拿了一根树枝，给蛇画起脚来。

正在他一边画着脚，一边说话的时候，另外一个人已经画好了。那个人马上把酒壶从他手里夺过去，说："你见过蛇吗？蛇是没有脚的，你为什么要给它添上脚呢？所以第一个画好蛇的人不是你，而是我了！"

那个人说罢就仰起头来，咕咚咕咚把酒喝下去了。

As a small child, I always wanted to grow up soon, so that I could make my

own money and became independent. So I had worked so hard to let my parents to

realize that I have grown up, such as washing my clothes and taking care of

myself. Indeed, I won respect step by step. Finally, when I went to high school,

they allowed me to live in school. I felt so happy to move out. When I lived in

school, strangely, I started to miss my parents and wanted to see them. I spent

so much time to get away from them, but when I did it, I felt lost. This is my

story about growing up, I believe most children struggle running away from their

parents, but when they really grow up, they will miss the ones who love

them.

【画蛇添足】

有个楚国贵族，在祭祀过祖宗后，把一壶祭酒赏给门客们喝。门客们拿着这壶酒，不知如何处理。他们觉得，这么多人喝一壶酒，肯定不够，还不如干脆给一个人喝，喝得痛痛快快还好些。可是到底给谁好呢?于是，门客们商量了一个好主意，就是每个人各自在地上画一条蛇，谁先画好了这壶酒就归谁喝。大家都同意这个办法。

门客们一人拿一根小棍，开始在地上画蛇。有一个人画得很快，不一会儿，他就把蛇画好了，于是他把酒壶拿了过来。正待他要喝酒时，他一眼瞅见其他人还没把蛇画完，他便十分得意地又拿起小棍，边自言自语地说：“看我再来给蛇添上几只脚，他们也未必画完。”边说边给画好的蛇画脚。

不料，这个人给蛇画脚还没完，手上的酒壶便被旁边一个人一把抢了过去，原来，那个人的蛇画完了。这个给蛇画脚的人不依，说：“我最先画完蛇，酒应归我喝!”那个人笑着说：“你到现在还在画，而我已完工，酒当然是我的!”画蛇脚的人争辩说：“我早就画完了，现在是趁时间还早，不过是给蛇添几只脚而已。”那人说：“蛇本来就没有脚，你要给它添几只脚那你就添吧，酒反正你是喝不成了!”

那人毫不客气地喝起酒来，那个给蛇画脚的人却眼巴巴看着本属自己而现在已被别人拿走的酒，后悔不已。

有些人自以为是，喜欢节外生枝，卖弄自己，结果往往弄巧成拙，不正像这个画蛇添足的人吗?

【邻人献玉】

魏国的一个农夫有一次在犁田时突然听到一声震响。他喝住耕牛，刨开土层一看，原来是犁铧撞上了一块直径一尺、光泽碧透的异石。农夫不知是玉，所以跑到附近田里请邻人过来观看。那邻人一看是块罕见的玉石，于是起了歹心。他编了一套谎话对农夫说：“这是个不祥之物，留着它迟早会生祸患。你不如把它扔掉。”农夫一时还拿不定主意。他心想：“这么漂亮的一块石头，假如不是怪石，扔掉了多么可惜。”农夫犹豫了一会儿，最后还是决定把它拿回家去，先摆在屋外的走廊上观察一下，看看到底是怎么一回事。

那天夜里，宝玉忽然光芒四射，把整个屋子照得像白昼一样。农夫全家人被这种神奇的景象惊呆了。农夫又跑去找那邻人。邻人趁机吓唬他说：“这就是石头里的妖魔在作怪。你只有马上把这块怪石扔掉才能消灾除祸!”听了这话以后，农夫急忙把玉石扔到了野地里。时隔不久，那邻人跑到野外把玉石搬回了自己的家。

第二天，那邻人拿这块玉石去献给魏王。魏王把玉工召来品评其价值。那玉工一见这块玉石，不觉大吃一惊。他急忙朝魏王跪下，连连叩头，然后起身对魏王说：“恭喜圣上洪福，您得到了一块稀世珍宝。我虽然当了这么多年的玉工，还从来没有见过这样大、这样好的玉石。”魏王问：“这块玉石值多少钱?”玉工说：“这是一件无价之宝，难以用金钱计算它的价值。世上的繁华都市里有各种各样的玉石，但没有哪一块能与它媲美。”魏王听了这话以后大喜，当即赏给献玉者一千斤黄金，同时还赐予他终生享用大夫俸禄的待遇。

狡诈的人因骗取的玉石而受赏食禄，而善良的穷苦人却还蒙在鼓里一点也不知道。

【良臣尹绰】

尹绰和赦(she)厥同在赵简子手下做官，赦厥为人圆滑，会见风使舵，看主人的脸色行事，从来不说让主子不高兴的话。尹绰就不是这样，他性格率直，对主子忠心耿耿尽职尽责。

一次赵简子带尹绰、赦厥及其他随从外出打猎，一只灰色的大野兔窜出来，赵简子命随从全部出动，策马追捕野兔子，谁抓到野兔谁受上奖。众随从奋力追捕野兔，结果踩坏了一大片庄稼。野兔子抓到了，赵简子十分高兴，对抓到野兔的随从大加奖励。尹绰表示反对，批评赵简子的做法不妥。赵简子不高兴地说：“这个随从听从命令，动作敏捷，能按我的旨意办事，我为什么不能奖励他呢?”尹绰说：“他只知道讨好您而不顾老百姓种的庄稼，这种人不值得奖励。当然，错误的根源应该是在您的身上，您不提出那样的要求，他也不会那样去做。”赵简子心里闷闷不乐。

又一次，赵简子因头天晚上饮酒过多，醉卧不起，直到第二天已近晌午，仍在醉梦中。这时，楚国一位贤人应赵简子3月前的邀请前来求见，赦厥接待了那位贤人。为了不打扰赵简子睡觉，赦厥婉言推辞了那位楚国人的求见，结果使那位贤人扫兴而去。赵简子直睡到黄昏才醒来，赦厥除了关心赵简子是否睡得香甜外，对来人求见的事只是轻描淡写地敷衍了几句。

赵简子常对手下人说：“赦厥真是我的好助手，他真心爱护我，从不肯在别人面前批评我的过错，深怕伤害了我。可是尹绰就不是这样，他对我的一点缺点都毫不放过，哪怕是当着许多人的面也对我吹毛求疵，一点也不顾及我的面子。”

尹绰听到这些话后，依然不放过赵简子。他又跑去找赵简子，他对赵简子说：“您的话错了!作为臣下，就应帮助完善您的谋略和您的为人。赦厥从不批评您，他从不留心您的过错，更不会教您改错。我呢，总是注意您的处世为人及一举一动，凡有不检点或不妥之处，我都要给您指出来，好让您及时纠正，这样我才算尽到了臣子的职责。如果我连您的丑恶的一面也加以爱护，那对您有什么益处呢?丑恶有什么可爱的呢?如果您的丑恶越来越多，那又如何能保持您美好的形象和尊严呢?”

赵简子听了，似有所悟。

可见，真正的爱护并不是一味讨好，而是在发现对方的缺点错误后，能真心指出并帮助其改正，使之不断完美起来。

【割席断交】

管宁和华歆(xin)在年轻的时候，是一对非常要好的朋友。他俩成天形影不离，同桌吃饭、同榻读书、同床睡觉，相处得很和谐。

有一次，他俩一块儿去劳动，在菜地里锄草。两个人努力干着活，顾不得停下来休息，一会儿就锄好了一大片。

只见管宁抬起锄头，一锄下去，“噹”一下，碰到了一个硬东西。管宁好生奇怪，将锄到的一大片泥土翻了过来。黑黝黝的泥土中，有一个黄澄澄的东西闪闪发光。管宁定睛一看，是块黄金，他就自言自语地说了句：“我当是什么硬东西呢，原来是锭金子。”接着，他不再理会了，继续锄他的草。

“什么?金子!”不远处的华歆听到这话，不由得心里一动，赶紧丢下锄头奔了过来，拾起金块捧在手里仔细端详。

管宁见状，一边挥舞着手里的锄头干活，一边责备华歆说：“钱财应该是靠自己的辛勤劳动去获得，一个有道德的人是不可以贪图不劳而获的财物的。”

华歆听了，口里说：“这个道理我也懂。”手里却还捧着金子左看看、右看看，怎么也舍不得放下。后来，他实在被管宁的目光盯得受不了了，才不情愿地丢下金子回去干活。可是他心里还在惦记金子，干活也没有先前努力，还不住地唉声叹气。管宁见他这个样子，不再说什么，只是暗暗地摇头。

又有一次，他们两人坐在一张席子上读书。正看得入神，忽然外面沸腾起来，一片鼓乐之声，中间夹杂着鸣锣开道的吆喝声和人们看热闹吵吵嚷嚷的声音。于是管宁和华歆就起身走到窗前去看究竟发生了什么事。

原来是一位达官显贵乘车从这里经过。一大队随从佩带着武器、穿着统一的服装前呼后拥地保卫着车子，威风凛凛。再看那车饰更是豪华：车身雕刻着精巧美丽的图案，车上蒙着的车帘是用五彩绸缎制成，四周装饰着金线，车顶还镶了一大块翡翠，显得富贵逼人。

管宁对于这些很不以为然，又回到原处捧起书专心致志地读起来，对外面的喧闹完全充耳不闻，就好像什么都没有发生一样。

华歆却不是这样，他完全被这种张扬的声势和豪华的排场吸引住了。他嫌在屋里看不清楚，干脆连书也不读了，急急忙忙地跑到街上去跟着人群尾随车队细看。

管宁目睹了华歆的所作所为，再也抑制不住心中的叹惋和失望。等到华歆回来以后，管宁就拿出刀子当着华歆的面把席子从中间割成两半，痛心而决绝地宣布：“我们两人的志向和情趣太不一样了。从今以后，我们就像这被割开的草席一样，再也不是朋友了。”

真正的朋友，应该建立在共同的思想基础和奋斗目标上，一起追求、一起进步。如果没有内在精神的默契，只有表面上的亲热，这样的朋友是无法真正沟通和理解的，也就失去了做朋友的意义了。

Sam is a little fish. He lives in the sea. He is very lonely. He wants to have a friend. The friend looks like him. Sam sees an ink fish. The ink fish has eight legs. He doesn’t look like Sam. So Sam goes away.

Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly.

Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him. “Hello! Would you like to be my friend?”

Sam answers: “Of course! But you are round. I am flat.” The round fish days: “But we are both fishes.”

Sam thinks and says, “You are right. Let’s be friends.” They become good friends.

When a couple gets married, it is natural for them to receive wishes from

relatives and friends. Recently, a young couple showed the message of their

coming wedding, but the public criticized the man, because they believed he was

committing crime as he fell in love with a girl when she was 8 years old.

The man and the little girl’s story seems to be romantic. But thinking of

the girl’s young age when they met, and she was just a little girl, it is

unbelievable. Though now she is almost 18, their story worries so many parents.

They are so afraid of the negative information releases to the young children,

when they don’t know the concept of love. From 8 to 18, the girl’s growing

period is accompanied by this man who is much older than her, while I don’t

favor of this way.

The girl was misled by the wrong conception. Someone told her when she was

18, they would be married. As she is young and innocent, even she is 18, she

doesn’t have much chance to see the variety of the world. The way she sees the

world is misled by this elder man.

A child’s growing up should be natural and led by the right value.

画蛇添足

古代楚国有个主管祭祀的官员，把一壶酒赏给来帮忙祭祀的门客。门客们互相商量说：“大家一起喝这壶酒不足够，一个人喝它还有剩余。要不大家一起在地上比画蛇，谁先画好，谁就喝这壶酒。” 画蛇添足一个人最先完成了，拿起酒壶准备饮酒，于是左手拿着酒壶，右手画蛇，说：“我还能够为它画脚呢!”他还没有画完蛇的脚，另一个人的蛇就画好了，那个人抢过他的酒壶，说：“蛇本来没有脚，你怎么能给它画脚呢?”随后喝完了那壶酒。

那个给蛇画脚的人，最终失去了那壶酒。

楚有祠者，赐其舍人卮酒。舍人相谓曰：“数人饮之不足，一人饮之有余。请画地为蛇，先成者饮酒。”

一人蛇先成，引酒且饮之，乃左手持卮，右手画蛇曰：“吾能为之足!”未成，一人之蛇成，夺其卮曰：“蛇固无足，子安能为之足?”遂饮其酒。

为蛇足者，终亡其酒。

译文

古代楚国有个人祭过祖宗以后，把一壶酒赏给来帮忙祭祀的门客一壶酒。门客们互相商量说：“大家一起喝这壶酒不足够，一个人喝它还有剩余。要求大家在地上画蛇，先画好的人喝这壶酒。”

一个人最先完成了，拿起酒壶准备饮酒，却左手拿着酒壶，右手画蛇，说：“我能够为它画脚。”他还没有(把脚)完成，另一个人的蛇画好了，抢过他的酒壶，说：“蛇本来就没有脚，你怎么能给它画脚呢?”话刚说完，就把那壶酒喝完了。

那个给蛇画脚的人，最终失掉了那壶酒。

分析点评

这个故事告诉人们，蛇本来没有脚，先画成蛇的人，却将蛇添了脚，结果不成为蛇。后遂用画蛇添足，比喻节外生枝，告诉人们做任何事都要实事求是，不卖弄聪明，否则非但不能把事情做好，反而会把事情弄砸。

不论对国家、人民或自己，都具有安全性。这个故事的意义是肤浅的，“画蛇添足”的教训，值得我们记取。不要因为一个小小的错误而丧失了自己本该有的东西。&qut; 为蛇足者，终亡其酒。

揭示道理

1：做事不可多此一举了，否则有时还会失去一些东西，得不偿失，弄巧成拙。

2：无论做什么事情都要尊重客观事实，实事求是。

3：这篇寓言告诉人们，凡做一件事情，必须有具体的要求和明确的目标，要以清醒坚定的意志，追求之，完成之，不要被胜利冲昏头脑。被胜利冲昏头脑的人，往往为盲目乐观所蔽，而招致失败。

A little panda picks up a pumpkin and wants to take it home. But the pumpkin is too big. The panda can’t take it home.

Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike. “I know! I have a good idea.” she jumps and shouts happily, “I can roll a pumpkin. It’s like a wheel.”

So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, “Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?” the little panda answers proudly, “I can’t lift it, but I can roll it.” Her mother smiled and says，“What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,”

一只小熊猫摘了一只大南瓜，想把它拿回家。但是这只南瓜太大了，她没有办法把这么大的南瓜带回家。

突然她看见一只狗熊骑着一辆自行车朝她这边来。她看着自行车，跳着说：“有了!我有办法了。我可以把南瓜滚回家去。南瓜好像车轮。

于是她把那瓜滚回家。当她妈妈看到这只大南瓜的时候，很惊讶：“天啊!这么食的南瓜!你是怎么把它带回家来的?”小熊猫自豪地说;“我拎不动它，可是我能滚动它啊!”她妈妈微笑着说：“真聪明啊!记住：只要你肯动脑筋，没有难办的事。

【篇二】

一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。

于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich mans house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
