Carrying Faggots to Put Out a Fire
In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.B., the qin army launched another attack upon the State of Wei with a momentum more vigorous than ever. The king of the State of Wei summoned his officials,and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars,the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak ofresistance. At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the offinials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counsellor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all.It is just because they are cowardly and afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temperarily satisfy the ambition of the king of the State of Qin is insatiably greedy. It will never stop assaulting us until our land is totally given away."Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. That was because he didn't know that,instead of putting out the fire, faggots could only make it burning more vigorously. Isn't it equivalent to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. For the king of the State of Wei was cowardly and only cared for peace at the moment.As might be expected,the Qin army assaulted the State of Wei on a large scale in 225 B.C.,surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes of the Huanghe River.The State of Wei was finally destroyed by the State of Qin.This story appears in the Historical Records Written by Sima Qian.The set phrase"carrying faggots to put out a fire"is used to mean adopting a wrong method to save a situation and ending up by making it worse.
战国末期,秦国向魏国接连发动大规模的进攻,魏国无力抵抗,大片土地都被秦军占领了。到公元前273年,秦国又一次向魏国出兵,势头空前猛烈。
魏王把大臣们召来,愁眉苦脸地问大家有没有使秦国退兵的办法。大臣们由于经过多年的战乱,提起打仗就吓得哆嗦,谁也不敢谈“抵抗”二字。在这大兵压境的危急时刻,多数大臣都劝魏王,用黄河以北和太行山以南的大片土地为代价,向秦王求和。
谋士苏代听了这些话,很不以为然,忙上前对魏王说:“大王,他们是因为自己胆小怕死,才让您去卖国求和,根本不为国家着想。您想,把大片土地割让给秦国虽然暂时满足了秦王的野心,但秦国的***是无止境的,只要魏国的土地没割完,秦军就不会停止进攻我们。”
说到这里,苏代讲了一个故事:从前有一个人,他的房子起火了,别人劝他快用水去浇灭大火,但他不听,偏抱起一捆柴草去救火,是因为他不懂得柴草不但不能灭火反而能助长火势的道理。大王若同意拿着魏国土地去求和,不就等于抱着柴草救火吗?”
尽管苏代讲得头头是道,但是胆小的魏王只顾眼前的太平,还是依大臣们的意见把魏国大片土地割让给秦国。到公元225年,果然秦军又向魏国大举进攻,包围了国都大梁,掘开黄河大堤让洪水淹没了大梁城,魏国终于被秦国灭掉了。
故事出自《史记魏世家》。成语“抱薪救火”比喻用错误的方法去消灭祸害,结果反而使祸害扩大。
假如我是爸爸,我一定不会像我爸爸那样:他总是很晚很晚才回家,我做的作业,他从来没有时间检查一下。回到家的爸爸,和上班没什么两样,总是在电脑前冥思苦想,好像有做不完的工作一样……
假如我是爸爸,我就准时下班回家,开开心心地陪妈妈准备晚饭。儿子拿题目来问我时,我会让他自己先想,如果他想不出来,我也不会打骂他,而是会耐心地教他,直到他理解了为止。
假如我是爸爸,我一定会做个有责任感的爸爸,我要做好儿子的榜样,我不会再写错别字,还要把字写得漂漂亮亮的,因为我是一个爸爸了,要时时刻刻记住责任都压在我的肩头。
假如我是爸爸,我会仔细聆听儿子讲话,不管他是在描述学校发生的趣事,还是一次不愉快的经历。如果他需要,我会给他一些建议,当然,听不听的选择权在他,如果他愿意,他也可以选择撞个“满头包”。
我还会时常送他一些书和碟片,开拓他的视野,培养他和我共同的兴趣,花更多的时间陪儿子下棋、讲故事。前提是爸爸的老板布置的“作业”不要太多。
现在把自己看成爸爸,才知道理解儿子的爸爸才是好爸爸,理解爸爸的儿子才是好儿子。
假如我是一名人民警察,我一定会一丝不苟的工作,做一个清正廉洁的好警察,决不冤枉一个好人,也绝对不会放过任何一个坏人。但是作为一名真正的警察,光是勇是不行的,必须要做一个智勇双全的好警察。
十年后的一天,我正在街上认真地巡逻着,一个身材高挑的的男子把一位瘦小的女子脖子上的一条金灿灿的金项链抢走了,随后跑进一条狭窄的小巷里。那女子像发了疯似的突然尖叫起来,一边喊人来抓小偷,一边快速的往巷子里跑。可是,周围的人都无动于衷。我看见了这么悲惨的女子,实在不忍心不帮助女子,立即撒腿就跑,我的脚像装了一双轮子,仿佛就像龙卷风一样跑得快。不一会便追上了那位男子,凭着我在特警队里练就的一身本领,轻易的就抓住了那个身材高挑的男子。
我连忙把歹徒送给了律师处理,来评判他的罪行。最后他做了好几年的牢,这是自做孽呀。
“叮铃铃”接到报案,某小区一楼到四楼的财产全部被盗,经过现场检查发现凶手的脚印非常特别,,经过我们的仔细研究,发现是一人所为。后来,经过各种各样的调查,发现了凶手,凶手不但做了相应的赔偿,还受到了应有的惩罚。
在以后的一个月里,我发现了这样的案子却有二十多条。我们警方都根据上一场盗钱案的凶手做的动作,都把这些坏蛋一一检查出来。根据偷财务的多少做出了相应的惩罚和一定的赔偿。
作为一名优秀的人民警察,可以为人民排忧解难,可以看到人民们的笑脸。因此,我想当一名警察。
When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him. This soon wakened the lion. He was very angry, and caught the mouse in his paws.
"Forgive me, please." cried the little mouse. "I may be able to help you someday." The lion was tickled at these words.
He thought, "How could this little mouse help me?" However he lifted up his paws and let him go.
A few days later, the lion was caught in a trap.
The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so they tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.
Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion.
He went up to him, and soon gnawed away the ropes. "Was I not right?" asked the little mouse.
狮子与报恩的老鼠
●狮子睡着了,有只老鼠在他的周围爬上爬下,很快吵醒了狮子,狮子很生气,一把抓住了老鼠。
●“饶了我吧,”老鼠请求说,“也许有一天我能帮上你的忙呢。”狮子觉得很好笑,他想:“这只小老鼠怎么能帮上我的忙?”但他还是抬起爪子放他走了。
●不久,狮子被陷阱困住了。猎人们想将活狮子献给国王,就把他捆在一棵大树上,然后去找马车。
●这时,老鼠路过这里,看到了绝望中的狮子。他走过去,很快啃断了绳索,说:“我虽小,可是我也能帮上你的忙。”
寓意: 有些朋友也许平时看似微不足道,但却有可能在我们身处困境的时候提供巨大的帮助。
“小不点儿,敢不敢和我比赛投篮啊?”
站在我面前的这个高大的男生是班上最强壮的同学,没有之一。可我呢?偏偏是班里最瘦弱的那一个。快连球都拿不起的我,要和一个班里最强壮的男生比赛投篮……
一开始,我没答应他,他却不依不饶,硬拉着我和他比赛。结果和我猜测的一样:我输了,而且还被他笑话了十分钟。我气极了,心想:一定要赢他,为自己争口气!
我把作业提前在学校写完,一回到家就拉着爸爸往楼下的篮球场跑。可我实在太瘦弱了。一开始,别说篮球打到篮圈或者投歪了,我连篮球都没抛多远,才抛了七八次球,我就累趴了。爸爸告诉我,想要投好篮,首先要有力气。
为了能让自己变得有力气,在投篮之前,我要先绕着篮球场跑十圈。平日里,我主动帮爸爸妈妈做家务,也常常帮拉着车上坡的.老爷爷推一把车……
几个月过去了,我投篮的技术大有长进,球十有八九能进篮圈。但我不能停止练习,徐文在体育方面本就有优势,而我只能靠后天的努力来跟上他。
前两天,我也给徐文下了“战书”。当我说要再和他比投篮时,他非常吃惊,却仍旧摆着一副不可一世的样子答应与我一决高下!
今天是我值日,打扫完教室我就立即向操场奔去,可惜还是晚了五分钟。
“小不点儿,犹豫了吗?”徐文傲慢地说。
“我们每人投十个球,看谁命中率高!”
“好!”徐文把篮球向地面一砸,它就弹到了我手中。
比赛开始了,徐文投进九个球,这给了我很大的机会,只要我能全部投中,我就赢了!一个、两个、三个……十个!这一次,“幸运之神”站在了我这一边,几个月的努力总算没有白费。
再扭头看看徐文,他神色凝重,就差把“不高兴”这三个字写在脸上了。
“这次算你走运!我们下个月再比一场!”徐文抱着篮球走了。
我想:我和徐文的挑战是永远不会有结束的那一天了,我们却在这场比赛中收获了许多。他努力学好英语,我努力学好体育。我和他之间的比赛没有输家。因为,在成长的过程中,我们并没有打倒对方,而是战胜了自己。
有一天,我走在放学的路上,刚走到休闲广场的时候,就见到一群小混混在和两个小朋友说:“小娃,给有钱?”两个小朋友异口同声很小气的说“没有钱,”小混混就说:“说实话,给听见拉?不然老子今天就给你趴在地上,站都站不起来!”小朋友说“只有这点钱了,给你两角。”每当看到这种场景,我就想假如我是警察……
假如我是警察,我会跟踪他们,看他们还抢不抢其它小朋友,如果他们还抢的话,呵呵!那就不会手下留情了。
假如我是警察,我会立刻上去制止他们,如果他们出手打我的话,我宁可牺牲性命也要去保护那两个孩子,叫他们“快跑,快跑”和坏蛋们搏斗,非得拼个你死我活,将它们制服不可。
假如我是警察,我会打电话再叫几个人民特警来把他们一网打进,押到看守所里面。
假如我是警察,我用着枪对着那些小混混叫他们把小朋友放开,让他们早点回家,不被家长骂,不让他们伤害到小朋友幼小的心灵。
假如我是一名警察,那该多好呀!我希望我美的愿望能尽快实现,我要努力学习,刻苦学习,用自己的生命来保护老百姓,做好警察!
爸爸是我心中的偶像,可是他有一些小缺点,假如我是爸爸,我会改正这些缺点,做一个好爸爸。
假如我是爸爸,我不会吸烟,因为吸烟会让孩子不能好好学习;会让自己的身体受到伤害;还会让夫妻吵架。所以我不能吸烟,也不能让我的孩子长大后吸烟。
假如我是爸爸,我会让孩子远离电脑或电视机,因为看多了电视,就会得近视,近视是一辈子的事,是永远不会好的;电脑和电视机还会让孩子沉迷其中,孩子就会不重视学习了,或是上课不专心听讲;它们还会让孩子大脑发育不正常,或者是让他们智力发挥不好。
假如我是爸爸,我不会去喝酒,因为喝酒会让自己的健康受到危害;会让孩子替我担心,没心思做作业;还会吐得满屋子都是臭味;父母也会放心不下,到了晚上睡不着觉。所以我不喝酒,也不让长大后的孩子喝酒。
假如我是爸爸,就不会吹牛、骗人,因为这样的话,就得不到孩子的信任;得不到朋友的肯定;还会得不到新朋友,因为你会吹牛。所以我要指导孩子,不做一个吹牛、骗人的孩子。
假如我是爸爸,我不会拿他去和别人的孩子攀比,因为这样会埋没他的自信心,而要发现他的闪光点。所以我不能有一种“望子成龙、望女成凤”的心理。
爸爸虽然很棒,但是人没有一个是十全十美的,所以爸爸不可能是世界上最棒的。可是,他在我的心中是最好的!
