这一天,天气很好。杨万里正坐船经过安仁县,看见江面上有一只渔船在飞快地行驶着。那船头坐着两个小孩,他们把竹篙和船桨放在一边,手里却撑着一把伞,杨万里觉得奇怪,便追上小船,想探个究竟。
“喂!小朋友!现在天气挺好的,你们撑伞干什么?”杨万里好奇地问道。
“叔叔,你猜猜啊!”其中一个小孩顽皮地回答。
杨万里左想右想了半天,也没想出来,便说:“我猜不出来!”
那两个小孩笑嘻嘻地回答:“呵呵!叔叔,你看现在风这么大,何不省点力呢?”
杨万里一听,恍然大悟,不禁赞叹道:“你们两个真聪明啊!原来是在借助风力来让船前进呀!”
不一会,那只小船已借着风力,很快就消失在远处了。
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼误吞下了一块骨头,十分难受,四处奔走,寻访医生。他遇见了鹭鸶,谈定酬金请他 取出骨头,鹭鸶把自己的头伸进狼的喉咙里,叼出了骨头,便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答 说:“喂,朋友,你能从狼嘴里平安无事地收回头来,难道还不满足,怎么还要讲报酬?”
这故事说明,对坏人行善的报酬,就是认识坏人不讲信用的本质。
Lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face.
Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the mouse piteouslyentreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.
The mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a lion."
Little friends may prove great friends.
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去,将它从梦中吵醒。
狮子生气地跳起来,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求说:“只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命,我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。
老鼠听出是狮子的吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了牠,并大声说:“你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。”
强者不会永远是强者,强者也会有需要弱者帮助的时候。
雪夜。世界混沌。天地一派的死寂,有如一幅萧***的画。万径泯灭,无人交语,唯有寒风呼啸有如旁白。如此暗夜,残破木屋里,是谁在凝眉思索?体若寒冰,心犹不死,孤独又落漠。是谁的残年有如那风中的烛火,摇曳闪烁。又是谁在苦苦追问:这世间,还有谁人知我?除却这几卷残破诗书于枕畔默默呤哦。…
如此光景,有谁能相信这位倒卧于残榻之上,苟延残喘的老者,竟是名噪一世的仗剑诗人陆游?遥想当年:壮岁从戎,曾是气吞残虏!到如今,却是功名梦断,独醉了余生,望秦关何处?流年又成虚度妒……唉,怎不教人嗟叹,这造化玩物,人何以堪!
伴随着破窗在风中悲泣,陆游的思绪起起伏伏,硝烟、剑光、狼毫、竹笺……在脑海中光怪交错,一时又忖起这段时间听到百姓们被遗弃而惨遭***戮的传言,不由的一阵悲愤,挣扎想要坐起挥毫,一泄胸愤,然而心有余而力难逮,稍微一动,换来的只是一阵猛似一阵的剧烈咳嗽。
住在隔壁一直未敢深睡的'儿子陆子虞听见父亲痛苦的喘息,匆忙披着衣服跑来,将父亲缓缓扶起,轻抚其背,低声劝诫:父亲,何苦再纠结国事。您为国家百姓倾尽了心力,到头来却是如此凄惶,谁人来问?际遇如此,父亲还是放眼当下,好好保重身体,安度晚年吧!
陆游直视着儿子,语气凝重道:我儿,凡事都要以国家为重,无有国,安有家?男儿当世,就当报效朝廷,为民请命!只恨,我再也不能为国尽忠了……
陆子虞叹息一声,低头不语。
陆游看着窗外漆黑,忽然嘴角露出一丝淡淡的笑意:“那黑暗呀,它已恭候我多时了,我想我要去了”。陆子虞悲泣道:“父亲!”陆游看着儿子,笑意犹在,却有泪珠落下,他轻轻地说道:“儿啊,我知道人死之后万事皆空,但纵是死也心有不甘啊。为父此生最大的恨事就是没有等到国之大统的日子,北边的领土已被贼兵所占,尚未光复,遗憾啊……我儿,我命不久矣,尔等不必悲伤,来年朝廷定能驱逐残寇,收复江山,尔等在我祭日之时,一定不要忘记告诉为父江山一统的大好消息!”
陆子虞落泪不止:“父亲,您就放心吧,儿定会牢记您的话的……天已渐亮了,休息吧!”陆游紧紧拽着儿子的衣襟,轻轻的、一字一字的呤道:“死去元知万事空,但悲不见九州同。王师北定中原日,家祭无忘告乃翁。”
寒风无情呼啸,世界仿似已经凝固,唯有一声悲鸣将之穿透。作为这悲怆世界唯一的亮光,那苦苦支撑了一夜的蜡烛,终于流完了它最后一滴眼泪,化作云烟飘散开去……
