The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea
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.
2.英文短詩
1 夏天的飛鳥，飛到我的窗前唱歌，又飛去了。
秋天的黃葉，它們沒有什么可唱，只嘆息一聲，飛落在那里。 Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign. 2 世界上的一隊小小的漂泊者呀，請留下你們的足印在我的文字里。
O Troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words. 3 世界對著它的愛人，把它浩翰的面具揭下了。 它變小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻。
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal. 4 是大地的淚點，使她的微笑保持著青春不謝。 It is the tears of the earth that keep here smiles in bloom. 5 無垠的沙漠熱烈追求一葉綠草的愛，她搖搖頭笑著飛開了。
The mighty desert is burning for the love of a bladeof grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away. 6 如果你因失去了太陽而流淚，那么你也將失去群星了。 If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. 7 跳舞著的流水呀，在你途中的泥沙，要求你的歌聲，你的流動呢。
你肯挾 瘸足的泥沙而俱下么？ The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness? 8 她的熱切的臉，如夜雨似的，攪擾著我的夢魂。 Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. 9 有一次，我們夢見大家都是不相識的。
我們醒了，卻知道我們原是相親相愛的。 Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. 10 憂思在我的心里平靜下去，正如暮色降臨在寂靜的山林中。
Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees. 11 有些看不見的手，如懶懶的微（風思）的，正在我的心上奏著 潺（氵爰）的樂聲。 Some unseen fingers, like an idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples. 12 “海水呀，你說的是什么？” “是永恒的疑問。”
“天空呀，你回答的話是什么？” “是永恒的沉默。” What language is thine, O sea? The language of eternal question. What language is thy answer, O sky? The language of eternal silence. 13 靜靜地聽，我的心呀，聽那世界的低語，這是它對你求愛的表示呀。
Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you. 14 創造的神秘，有如夜間的黑暗--是偉大的。而知識的幻影卻不過如晨間 之霧。
The mystery of creation is like the darkness of night--it is great. Delusions of knowledge are like the fog of the morning. 15 不要因為峭壁是高的，便讓你的愛情坐在峭壁上。 Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high. 16 我今晨坐在窗前，世界如一個路人似的，停留了一會，向我點點頭又走過 去了。
I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes. 17 這些微（風思），是樹葉的簌簌之聲呀；它們在我的心里歡悅地微語著。 There little thoughts are the rustle of leaves; they have their whisper of joy in my mind. 18 你看不見你自己，你所看見的只是你的影子。
What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow. 19 神呀，我的那些愿望真是愚傻呀，它們雜在你的歌聲中喧叫著呢。 讓我只是靜聽著吧。
My wishes are fools, they shout across thy song, my Master. Let me but listen. 20 我不能選擇那最好的。 是那最好的選擇我。
I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me. 21 那些把燈背在背上的人，把他們的影子投到了自己前面。 They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back. 22 我的存在，對我是一個永久的神奇，這就是生活。
That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life. 23 “我們蕭蕭的樹葉都有聲響回答那風和雨。你是誰呢，那樣的沉默著？” “我不過是一朵花。”
We, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?" I am a mere flower. 24 休息與工作的關系，正如眼瞼與眼睛的關系。 Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes. 25 人是一個初生的孩子，他的力量，就是生長的力量。
Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth. 26 神希望我們酬答他，在于他送給我們的花朵，而不在于太陽和土地。 God expects answers for the flowers he sends us, not for the sun the earth. 27 光明如一個裸體的孩子，快快活活地在綠葉當中游戲，它不知道人是會欺 詐的。
The light that plays, like a naked child, among the green leaves happily knows not that man can lie. 28 啊，美呀，在愛中找你自己吧，不要到你鏡子的諂諛去找尋。 O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror. 29 我的心把她的波浪在世界的海岸上沖激著，以熱淚在上邊寫著她的題記： “我愛你。”
My heart beats her waves at the shore of the world and writes upon it her signature in tears with the words, "I love thee." 30 “月兒呀。

很久以前，有一粒小水滴聽東海爺爺講有關東海的故事。它知道東海用千里之遙，不能形容海的遼闊，用千仞之高，不足以形容海的深度。它非常羨慕東海。
于是，它問東海爺爺：“東海爺爺，為什么東海那么遼闊還那么深呢？”東海爺爺告訴它：“我以前也是一粒小水滴，我和許多伙伴們日夜不停地奔流，小伙伴匯集融合在一起，就成了一條小溪，但我們沒有停止腳步，繼續日夜不停的地向前奔流，然后又成了江河，最后許多江河匯集在一起，就成了大海，形成了現在的東海。”小水滴又問：“我們真的有那么大的力量嗎？可以變成小溪，變成江河，變成大海嗎？”東海爺爺回答道：“當然可以啦！不積小流無以成江河，所以你們都可以成為大海的。還有，成海以后，不要忘記小水滴的存在，更不要輕視小水滴的力量，它可是我們生命的源泉啊！沒有它，就沒有我們。”
小水滴記住了東海爺爺的話，最后終于成為了著名的南海。
