Plug one's ears while stealing a bell（掩耳盜鈴）完整的英語，后面有中文意思：）~

In the Spring and Autumn period, a thief had stolen a bell and intended to carry it away on his back, but the bell was too bulky and heavy to be carried, so he tried to break it into pieces with a hammer to make it easier for carrying. On his first hit, however, the bell made a loud noise. He thus feared that the ringing sound might be heard by someone, who would come to rob him of his bell. His fright made him plug his own ears, while hitting the bell with the hammer. The bell sound was, nevertheless, audible to others and therefore to stuff his ears for the purpose of stealing a bell was a stupid action it is as foolish as burying one's head in the sand.

from Huai Nanzi（淮南子著）

掩耳盜鈴

在春秋戰國時期，有一個小偷偷了一只鐘。他準備把鐘扛在背上帶走。可是鐘又大又沉，很難扛走。因此他想用錘子把鐘敲成碎片，這樣運起來就能多了。可是，他敲了一下，那只鐘發出巨大的響聲。他怕別人聽到了鐘聲會來搶他的鐘，于是他在錘子敲鐘時捂上了自己的耳朵。不過，即使他這樣做，別人還是聽得到鐘聲的。所以掩耳盜鈴是非常愚蠢的行為，就像把頭埋在沙子中一樣。

諺語可以在五十個字以內，但是故事就不行了，我試一下：

先說諺語： ”一切財物如不使用等于沒有。“

再說故事（也就是這則諺語的來源）

* Miser 守財奴 A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, " ray

do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it." 有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產，換回了金塊，并秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個在附近放羊的牧人留 心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金塊拿走了。 守財奴再來時，發現洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲 痛，問明原因后， 說道：“喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但并不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心里想著那是塊金子，你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什么不同。依我之見，你擁有那 金塊時，也從沒用過。

不知道可否？敬請參考！

8.英語諺語故事

一只貓的生命哲學：The Zen of Cat原來很大的道理不一定需要很難的語言去解釋，本文簡單地一問一答告訴我們，當身邊的人離去時，他們其實活在我們的心里；告訴我們，生命原本是一個無所謂開始更無所謂結束的圓圈；告訴我們，每一段生命的結束都意味著新生命的開始。

只要心中還有愛，有思念，我們就可以笑對生死，珍惜人生。——題記 The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were * doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done,that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible. The man stroked the Cat on his lap and * Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear rolled down the Man's cheek and landed on the Cat's * Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look. “Why do you cry, Man?”the Cat asded.“Because you can't bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?”The Man nodded “yes.” “And where do you think I'll be when I leave you?”the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. “Close your eyes, Man,” the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told. “What color are my eyes and fur?” the Cat asked. “Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,” the Man replied. “And where is it that you most often see me?”asked the Cat. “I see you…on the kitchen windowsill watching the birds…on my favorite chair…on my desk lying on the papers I need…on the pillow next to my head at night.” “Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes,” said the Cat. “Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my 'toy.'” The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so. “The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The Man complied. “You have made a continuous circle,” said the cat.“Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head “no.” “Close your eyes again,” the Cat said.“Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise. “Just do it,” the Cat said.“Lick your hand,think of me in all my familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.” The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told. He discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop,and when he didn't, he opened his eyes. The Cat's eyes were * Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone. The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and through his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held clutched in his hand. One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was a lovely calico and white…very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same. 男人非常傷心。

他知道貓余下的日子不多了。醫生說已經沒得治了，他只能把貓帶回家，并盡可能地讓他在剩下的時間里過得舒服些。

男人把貓放在腿上，嘆了口氣。貓睜開眼睛，呼嚕呼嚕地叫著，抬眼看了看男人。

一滴眼淚從男人的臉頰邊滑落，落在了貓的額頭上。貓有點不高興地看了他一眼。

“你哭個什么啊，伙計？”貓問道，“因為你無法承受將要失去我的念頭？因為你認為永遠都沒有什么能代替我？”男人點了點頭。“是啊。”

“那么你認為我離開你以后，會到什么地方去了呢？”貓問道。男人無望地聳了聳肩。

“閉上眼睛吧，伙計，”貓說。男人疑惑地看了他一眼，但還是聽話地閉上了眼睛。

“我的眼睛和毛皮是什么顏色的？”貓問。“你的眼睛是金色的，你的毛皮是濃郁而溫暖的褐色的。”

男人回答道。 “那你最常在什么地方見到我呢？”貓問。

“我經常見到你……在廚房地窗臺上看鳥……在我最喜歡的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我腦袋邊的枕頭上。”“那么，無論什么時候你想見我，你只要閉上你的眼睛就可以了。”

貓說。 “把地上的那段繩子撿起來——那里，我的‘玩具’。”

男人睜開眼睛，伸手撿起了繩子。繩子大約有兩英尺（約0.6米）。
