疫情双语故事作文素材【一】
从前，有个人自称“专治驼背”，他的招牌上写着：
"I specialize in curing hunchbacks. No matter whether you are hunchbacked like a bow, a shrimp, a basket for rinsing rice or a rice pot, I guarantee that once I start treatment, your hunchback will be cured."
“本人专治驼背，无论你驼得像弓，像虾，像淘箩，像饭锅，凡是经我医治，保证手到病除。”
One hunchback saw the signboard, believed it to be true, and asked for treatment.
有一个驼背，看到招牌，果然信以为真，就请他医治。
The doctor neither gave any prescription, nor let the patient take any medicine. All the medical instrument he had was two boards for pressing. One board was put on the ground, on which the hunchback was told to lie on his stomach. Another board was pressed on and tied tightly with the hunchback. Then the doctor jumped onto the board and trampled upon it at random with all his might. As a result, the hunchback was straightened, but, alas, he was "dead and gone" also.
他既不开药方，也不让吃药。他所有的医疗器具，就只是两块夹板。他把一块板放在地上，叫驼背趴在上面，用另一块压在驼背的身上，然后用绳索绷紧。接着，他便自己跳到板上，拼命用脚乱踩一番。结果，那个人的驼背算是给压直了，可是他的性命也就“呜呼哀哉”了。
When the hunchback's son learned of this, of course he had it out with the doctor. But the doctor said:
驼背的`儿子知道了，自然要与那个医生评理，那医生却说：
"My job is to straighten his back. It's none of my business whether he is dead or alive."
“我只管把他的驼背弄直，哪能管他的死活！”

从前，鲁国有这么一对夫妇：丈夫是一个鞋匠，鞋子做得很好；妻子是一个织绢能手。一天，这两口子商量决定，去越国谋生。
When this news spread around, one man tried to dissuade them:
这消息一传开，就有一个人去劝他们说：
"You had better not go. If you go to the State of Yue to make a living, that would be too bad. Over there, you certainly cannot make a living！"
“还是不要去吧。如果你们到越国去谋生，那可糟了。在那里，你们一定会无法生活下去的！”
The couple asked in surprise:
他俩奇怪地问：
"We don't understand what you mean. Each of us has superb craftsmanship. How is it possible that we couldn't make a living? Don't talk nonsense！"
“我们不懂你说的`意思！我们各人有一门手艺，怎么会生活不了呢？别胡说了！”
Thereupon, the man said to them:
于是，那人对他俩说：
"Right. You indeed have superb craftsmanship. But you probably don't know the situation. You make shoes for people to wear, but the people in the State of Yue like to go barefooted and do not wear shoes; you weave silk to make hats, but the people there like to have their hair hanging down and do not wear hats. Then, how can you sell the shoes and hats you make? Though you are highly skilled, your manual skills are of no use over there. Then how can you make a living?"
“对呀，你们手艺的确很好。不过你们大概不了解情况吧！你们做了鞋子，原来是给人穿的，可是越国人喜欢赤脚，不穿鞋子；你们织的丝绢，原来是做帽子用的，可是越国人喜欢披着头发，不戴帽子。那么，你们做的鞋子、帽子，怎么卖得出去呢？你们的技艺虽然很高，可是在那里却用不上。到那时候，看你们怎么生活。”
After hearing this, the husband and wife saw the light:
这对夫妻听后，恍然大悟：
"Oh, so our way of thinking is against the current fashion."
“噢，原来我们的想法不合时尚啊！”
