【答案】 画蛇添足
An official of the ancient State of Chu awarded a pot of wine to his men after the ceremony of Spring Sacrifice. One man said, “We have only one pot of wine. It's not enough for all of us but sufficient for one. Let's determine who'll have the wine by drawing a snake on the ground. He who finishes first will have the wine.”
The others agreed. Very soon, one man finished his snake. He was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing. He said complacently,“How slowly you are! I still have enough time to add feet to my snke.” But before he finished the feet, another man finished his snke and grabbed the pot from him, saying,“Whoever has seen a snake with feet? Yours is not a snke. So the wine should be mine!” He drank the wine. The man adding the feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his foolishness.
楚国有一个官员,在春天祭过了祖宗之后,便将一壶酒赏给他的办事人员喝.有人提议:“我们只有一壶酒,肯定不够我们大家喝的,一个人喝倒是绰绰有余.我们每人在地上画一条蛇,谁画得最快,就把这壶酒给他.” 大家都同意了.
有一个人很快就把蛇画好了.他正打算喝这壶酒时,看见别人都还忙着画呢.他就得意扬扬地说:“你们画得好慢呀,等我再画上几只脚吧!” 他的蛇脚还没画完,另一个人已经把蛇画好了.那人把酒壶夺了过去说:“有谁见过长脚的蛇?你画的不是蛇,这壶酒应该是我的了.”说罢,就喝起酒来.那个给蛇画脚的人没办法,只能懊悔自己的愚蠢.
一鸣惊人
In the Warring States Period, Duke Wei of Qi neglected state affairs, for the first three years of his reign, giving himself over to dissipation. One of his ministers, Chun Yukun who had a good sense of humour, said to him: 'There is a big bird which has neither taken wing nor sung for three years.' The duke answered, 'Once that bird starts to fly and sing, it will astonish the world.' The duke thereupon devoted himself to his duties and built his state up into a powerful one.
战国时代,齐威王即位后做了三年国君,只顾享乐,不理政事.有个善于说笑话的人叫淳于髡,一天对齐威王说:“城里有一只大鸟,三年不飞也不叫,你知道这是什么道理?”齐威王说:“这鸟不飞则罢,一飞就冲天;不鸣则罢,一鸣就惊人.”在淳于髡的激发下,齐威王开始治理国家,取得很大成绩,齐国的声威一直保持了几十年.
杞人忧天
In the Spring and Autumn Period, in the State of Qi there was a man who always let his imagination run away with him. One day he even worried that the sky would fall on his head. He was so worried that he could neither eat nor sleep. Later, someone persuaded him that his fears were Ground-less.
春秋时代,杞国有一个喜欢胡思乱想的人.一天,他竟然想到,天会塌下来,地会陷下去,自己到哪里去安身?这个人越想越害怕,整天愁眉苦脸,坐立不安,白天吃不下饭,晚上睡不着觉.后来有人耐心地开到他,他才放下了心.
精卫填海
Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, legendary ruler of primitive China, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea and her boat capsized. Just before she was buried by the surging waves, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird. As it flew over the roaring sea, it cried sadly in the sound jinwei, jingwei. That was why people called it Jingwei.
The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. It hated the sea so much that it decided to fill it up. Every day, it flew to and fro between the mountain and the sea, carrying in a twig or a pebble from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.
One day, the roaring sea said to Jingwei, Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You'll never fill me up. Jingwei replied, I'll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it'll take me thousands of years! I'll fight on until doomsday!
The brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest.
From this fable comes the idiom The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea. We use it to describe people who are firm and indomitable and will not stop until they reach their goal.
从前,炎帝(传说中中国原始社会的统治者)的小女儿在东海上划船.正当她划得高兴时,海面上突然升起一阵大风,把她的小船弄翻了.就在她要被汹涌的波浪吞 没时,她的灵魂变成了一只美丽的小鸟.它飞过那咆哮的海面,伤心的叫着精卫,精卫的声音.所以人们就叫她精卫.
精卫鸟住在靠海的一座山上.它非常恨大海,所以决心要把它填平.它每天来回于山海之间,把从山上衔来的小树枝和小石子扔在大海里.
一天,咆哮的大海对精卫说:可怜的小鸟,停止你那无谓的举动吧!你是永远都填不平我的. 精卫回答说:我当然会把你填平的!即使这需要千千万万年的时间,我也一定会斗争到底,直到你的末日来临!
这只勇敢的小鸟继续从山上衔来小树枝和小石子,扔到东海中,从未有片刻休息.
精卫填海这个成语就是由这个传说而来的,形容那些坚定不移,不屈不挠,不到目的决不罢休的人.
