2.誰能幫我找幾個簡短的英語小故事
) 畫蛇添足 Drawing a snake and Adding Feet 戰國時代有個楚國人祭他的祖先。
儀式結束后,他拿出一壺酒賞給手下的幾個人。大家商量說:“我們都來畫蛇,誰先畫好誰就喝這壺酒。”
其中有一個人先畫好了。但他看到同伴還沒有畫完,就又給蛇添上了腳。
這時,另一個人也畫好了,奪過酒壺吧酒喝了,并且說:“蛇本來是沒有腳的,你怎么能給它添上腳呢?” In the Warring States Period, a man in the State of Chu was offering a sacrifice to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants. The servants thought that there was not enough wine for all them, and decided to each draw a picture of a snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine. One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake. At this moment another man finished, snatched the beaker and drank the wine, saying, 'A snake doesn't have feet. How can you add feet to a snake? '(2) The Monkeys' Ration朝三暮四There was once a man who raised monkeys at home. In time, he understood the monkeys quite well.從前有個人,在家飼養了一批猴子。久而久之,他很了解猴子的感情。
The man was not rich and often had to cut down his household expenses to feed the monkeys. When times turned rough, he had to reduce the monkeys'feed as well.養猴人并不富有,常常要節衣縮食去喂飽猴子。不過,當境況變得更壞時,他只好減少猴子的食糧。
The man was afraid that the monkeys would not remain tame. To test their response, he told the monkeys, "Fro, now on, I'll give each of you three chestnuts in the morning and four at night. Is that all right with you?"養猴人生怕猴子會因此而變得不聽話,便用試探它們的口氣說:「從今天起,我每天早上給你們三顆栗子,晚上再給四顆,好嗎?」When the monkeys learned that their ration was to be reduced, they flew into a rage. Seeing how mad the monkeys were, the man corrected himself at once.猴子一聽到養猴人要減少它們的食糧,都非常生氣。"All right," he told them, "I'll give you four chestnuts in the morning and three at night then."於是,養猴人馬上改口說:「那么,改為早上給四顆,晚上再給三顆。
」This satisfied the monkeys, and they all jumped for joy.猴子就感到滿意,歡欣鼓舞起來。(3) 濫竽充數The Man Who Faked His MusicKing Xuan of Qi was fond of music. In particular, he enjoyed listening to a wind instrument called the "yu". He appreciated it most when the yu was played by a band of about three hundred musicians. 齊宣王喜歡聽竽,尤其是三百人大樂隊的吹奏。
One time there was a vacancy in the royal band. When Nanguo heard about it, he applied for the post. 有一次,宣王招聘樂師。南郭先生聽到了這消息,就前往應聘。
Nanguo was not a musician at all. He had applied for the post simply because he was poor and it paid well. 南郭先生其實不會吹竽。他應聘的原因,是因為他家貧,兼且樂師的待遇又豐厚。
Nanaguo was lucky. Nobody knew he was faking. His luck did not last long, though, because King Xuan soon died and young Prince Min became king. 南郭先生相當幸運,沒有人發覺他在樂隊中裝模做樣,冒充內行。可是好景不常,宣王不久去世,閔王繼位。
King Min also enjoyed listening to the yu. Unlike his father, he preferred listening to the musicians playing solo. As soons as Nanguo got wind of the news, he sneaked away as fast as he could. 閔王也愛聽竽,不過,他跟他的父親不同,他喜歡聽樂師們一一獨奏。南郭先生知道后,便馬上溜走了。
3.【英語翻譯文言文〈濫竽充數〉,】
【原文】 齊宣王使人吹竽①,必三百人.南郭處士②請為王吹竽.宣王悅之,廩③食以數百人.宣王死,閔王立.好一一聽之,處士逃.【注釋】 ①竽:一種樂器的名稱,很象現在的笙.②處士:沒有官職的普通知識分子.③廩:糧食倉庫.【譯文】 齊宣王讓人吹竽,一定要三百人一起吹.南郭處士請求為齊宣王吹竽,宣王很高興.官倉供養的樂手有好幾百人.齊宣王死后,他的兒子王繼位.王也喜歡聽吹竽,但他喜歡讓他們一個一個地吹,南郭處士只好逃走了.【作者簡介】 韓非(約前280-前233),是韓國的貴族,“喜刑名法術之學”,后世稱他為韓非子.他和李斯都是荀子的弟子.當時韓國很弱,常受鄰國的欺凌,他多次向韓王提出富強的計策,但未被韓王采納.韓非寫了《孤憤》《五蠹》等一系列文章,這些作品后來集為《韓非子》一書.秦王嬴政讀了韓非的文章,極為贊賞.公元前234年,韓非作為韓國的使臣來到秦國,上書秦王,勸其先伐趙而緩伐韓.李斯妒忌韓非的才能,與姚賈一道進讒加以陷害,韓非被迫服毒自殺.韓非注意研究歷史,認為歷史是不斷發展進步的.他認為如果當今之世還贊美“堯、舜、湯、武之道”“必為新圣笑矣”.因此他主張“不期修古,不法常可”“世異則事異”“事異則備變”(《韓非子 ? 五蠹》),要根據今天的實際來制定政策.他的歷史觀,為當時地主階級的改革提供了理論根據.韓非繼承和總結了戰國時期法家的思想和實踐,提出了君主專制中央集權的理論.他主張“事在四方,要在中央;圣人執要,四方來效”(《韓非子 ? 物權》),國家的大權,要集中在君主(“圣人”)一人手里,君主必須有權有勢,才能治理天下,“萬乘之主,千乘之君,所以制天下而征諸侯者,以其威勢也”(《韓非子 ? 人主》).為此,君主應該使用各種手段清除世襲的奴隸主貴族,“散其黨”“奪其輔”(《韓非子 ? 主道》);同時,選拔一批經過實踐鍛煉的封建官吏來取代他們,“宰相必起于州部,猛將必發于卒伍”(《韓非子 ? 顯學》).韓非還主張改革和實行法治,要求“廢先王之教”(《韓非子 ? 問田》),“以法為教”(《韓非子 ? 五蠹》).他強調制定了“法”,就要嚴格執行,任何人也不能例外,做到“法不阿貴”“刑過不避大臣,賞善不遺匹夫”(《韓非子 ? 有度》).他還認為只有實行嚴刑重罰,人民才會順從,社會才能安定,封建統治才能鞏固.韓非的這些主張,反映了新興封建地主階級的利益和要求,為結束諸侯割據,建立統一的中央集權的封建國家,提供了理論依據.秦始皇統一中國后采取的許多政治措施,就是韓非理論的應用和發展.【評點】 不會吹竽的南郭先生混在三百人的樂隊中裝模作樣地湊數,竟然可以得到賞賜,一旦要自己憑真實本領單獨演奏時,南郭先生就只好逃之夭夭了.這個寓言比喻沒有真才實學的人混在行家里面充數,或是用不好的東西混在好東西里充數.南郭先生也成了濫竽充數者的代名詞.千百年來,濫竽充數這個故事,一直被人們廣為傳誦.南郭處士的行為騙得了一時,卻騙不了一世.強調個人應該勤學苦練,使自己具有真才實學.。
