There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在战国时代的宋国,有一个农民,每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景,也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒,他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子,可是他太懒,胆子又特小,干什么都是又懒又怕的,总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。
奇迹终于发生了。一天,他正在田里干活,一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏,受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然, 有一只兔子,不偏不倚,一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
这天,他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此,他就不再种地了,一天到晚守着那个神奇的.树根,等着奇迹再次出现。
人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。

长城万里一雄关,天下奇门锁海山。早就盼望着能去天下第一关山海关一览雄姿,暑假里的一天,终于实现了我的夙愿。
还没有抵达山海关,那雄伟的轮廓已经投入眼帘,只见绵延的城楼后面环绕着绵延的苍山,前面面对的是汹涌的碧海,万里长城仿佛是它有力的臂膀,守卫着这身后的万千顷土地,我不禁感叹,真不愧为“天下第一关”。
车子到了城下,再看,城楼更为高大,黑洞洞的城门口和两旁雄壮的两尊石狮让人不禁赞叹它们的雄伟与凛然不可侵犯的威严。向上仰视,映入眼帘的便是那檐下的巨幅横匾,上面是古代的书法家肖显挥毫泼墨书写的'五个大字“天下第一关”,虽经过了千百年历史的磨洗,但还是那样地熠熠生光,书韵不减。
我们顺着城楼两侧的石阶上了城,在这几层楼高的城墙上,可以五马并驰,两侧曲曲弯弯,一直延伸到大山的背后。
大殿门前的那个箭垛是整个城堡的中心点主城楼,翁城以及脚下的城门等,都是按照它的基准来的。站在这儿向前看去,在视野的尽头,有隐约可见的蔚蓝色的海水和银色的波光,眼前的平川,虽已建起工厂和商店,但不难想象,在久远的古代是血染黄尘的沙场,有多少中华儿女为御外侮,抗敌寇,保卫中华民族而浴血奋战,最后壮烈牺牲。然而他们的精神却是永垂青史的!
收回视线,我们再回殿内去看看,推开沉重的大门,跨过一尺来高的门槛,迎门的桌案上摆着一口钢刀,在这阴森森的环境下,显得冷峻肃穆,寒气逼人。看了说明才知道,这钢刀是在明朝时铸造的,有166斤重。从那砍得巨齿般的刀口,从那刀身上的斑斑锈迹、完全可以想象出它当年立下的卓著战功。大殿左边的墙上摆着七支羽箭,右边墙下,摆着一副盔甲,锈迹斑斑,残缺不全,一看就知道是一位身经百战将军的遗物。在陈设大刀后面的墙上,挂着一个与城门上相同的大匾,原来这是书法家的手笔,城门上的只不过是个复制品而已。
不知不觉已经夕阳西下,太阳斜挂在天边挂城楼,山川和万里海疆染得火红,而在这一片的浑红中,天下第一关——山海关显得更加气势磅礴,更加雄伟壮丽。
Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊,决定暂缓下毒手,想先找一些理由,对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说:「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说:「老实说,我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说:「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说:「不,好先生,我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说:「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道:「不,我从没有喝过水,因为直到今天为止,我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话,便抓住它,把它吃下去,便说:「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话,我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。
