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。
【汉字】守株待兔
【拼音】shǒu zhū dài tù

学校外面有一块空地,是个踢足球的好地方。
放学后,孩子们兴高采烈地来到这块空地,他们分成两组,把书包、帽子堆了起来,就是球门了。
比赛开始了,小守门员警惕的注视着对方的地场,孩子们都向足球冲去。这精彩的足球赛吸引了不少人,路过的大个子叔叔也坐在场边,欣赏着这场足球赛。
瞧,那个留平头的小守门员,他目不转睛地盯着前方,膝盖磕破了就拿一张纸按住膝盖,真认真呀!小守门员后面站着一个小男孩,他好像也想加入,好显一显身手,扑住几个球。
小观众们和大个子叔叔津津有味地看着,扎蝴蝶结的小女孩索性站了起来。抱着弟弟的小男孩脸上没有什么表情,似乎谁赢了谁输了都和他没有关系,坐在旁边的金发小男孩抬着头,生怕别人挡到他。
大个子叔叔面带微笑,可能这场小足球赛让他想起了小时候的童年。
My uncle has two dogs. One is big and the other is small. He likes them very much.
One day, Mr. Smith came to visit him. When the friend saw two holes in the door, a large hole and a small hole, he was surprised and said, ;My dear friend, why are there two holes in your door?; ;Let my dogs come in and come out, of course,; Mr. Smith asked. ;But why are there two holes? One is enough!; ;But how can the big dog go through the small hole?; my uncle said.
Sometimes a clever man may make such mistakes.
我的叔叔有两条狗。一只是大的,另一只是小狗的.。他很喜欢它们。
有一天,史密斯先生来看他。当这个朋友看见门口上有连个洞,一个是大洞和一个小洞时,他感到吃惊并说,;我亲爱的朋友,为什么你的门上有连个洞?;我的叔叔回答说:;当然是让我的两条狗进出了。 史密斯先生问到:"为什么门上要两个洞呢?一个就足够了。"我叔叔说:;大狗怎能走小洞呢?;
放学以后,同学们在一块空地上踢足球。他们分成两拨,把书包和帽子堆成球门,就开始了比赛。
最引人注目的是守门员,他留着平头,大概在十岁左右,戴着一顶帽子,两腿分开,上身前倾,眼睛目不转睛地注视着前方。守门员后面是个小男孩,戴着帽子,双手背后,露着大肚子。他好像是个替补队员,一心想着能上场比赛,好好显显他的球技。比赛越来越激烈,吸引了许多观众来观看。
大个子叔叔最显眼,可能天气太热,他把衣服都脱了,都看得入迷了。
梳着马尾辫的小姑娘,自己的视线被挡住了,只好站起来。戴着帽子的小女孩,往外探着身子,眼睛盯着远处。抱着布娃娃的女孩,把腰挺得直直的,脸上没有什么表情,好像谁胜谁负都跟她没什么关系似的。在她的旁边有一个敞开衣服的男孩,举着双手兴奋地大叫着:“加油!加油!”搂着小弟弟的男孩,也全神贯注地注视着局面。扎蝴蝶结的女孩,为了看清楚,索性站起来。不知谁家的大白狗在这里呼呼大睡,可能是对足球不感兴趣吧。
这是一场多么激烈的比赛啊!给附近的人们带来了很多欢乐!

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。
