朝三暮四

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a man in the state of Song raised monkeys. The monkeys could understand what he said. As the man became poor, he wanted to reduce the monkeys food. He first suggested that he give them three acorns(橡子) in the morning and four acorns in the evening. Thereupon, the monkeys protested angrily. Then their owner said, "How about four in the morning and three in the evening?" The monkeys were satisfied with that.

This idiom originally meant to befool others with tricks. Later it is used to mean to keep changing ones mind.

战国时代,宋国有一个养猴子的老人,他在家中的院子里养了许多猴子。日子一久,这个老人和猴子竟然能沟通讲话了。

这个老人每天早晚都分别给每只猴子四颗栗子。几年之后,老人的经济越来越不充裕了,而猴子的数目却越来越多,所以他就想把每天的栗子由八颗改为七颗,于是他就和猴子们商量说:"从今天开始,我每天早上给你们三颗粟子,晚上还是照常给你们四颗栗子,不知道你们同不同意?"

猴子们听了,都认为早上怎么少了一个?于是一个个就开始吱吱大叫,

而且还到处跳来跳去,好像非常不愿意似的。

老人一看到这个情形,连忙改口说:"那么我早上给你们四颗,晚上再给你们三颗,这样该可以了吧?"

猴子们听了,以为早上的粟子已经由三个变成四个,跟以前一样,就高兴地在地上翻滚起来。

守株待兔

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck. The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal. That night he thought, I neednt work so hard. All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump. So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.

This idiom satirizes(讽刺,挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.

宋国有个农夫正在田里翻土。突然,他看见有一只野兔从旁边的草丛里慌慌张张地窜出来,一头撞在田边的树墩子上,便倒在那儿一动也不动了。农民走过去一看:兔子死了。因为它奔跑的速度太快,把脖子都撞折(sh)了。农民高兴极了,他一点力气没花,就白捡了一只又肥又大的野兔。他心想;要是天天都能捡到野兔,日子就好过了。从此,他再也不肯出力气

种地了。每天,他把锄头放在身边,就躺在树墩子跟前,等待着第二只、第三只野兔自己撞到这树墩子上来。世上哪有那么多便宜事啊。农民当然没有再捡到撞死的野兔,而他的田地却荒芜了。

这个成语用来讽刺那些坐等机遇的人,而不是通过努力而获取他们的所需。

画蛇添足

In the Warring States Period, a man in the state of Chu was offering a sacrifice(祭品) to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants. The servants thought that there was not enought wine for all of them, and decided to each draw a picture of snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine. One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake. At this moment, another man finished, snatched the beaker(烧杯,大口杯) and drank the wine, saying,"A snake doesnt have feet. How can you add feet to a snake?"

This idiom refers to ruining a venture by doing unnecessary and surplus things.

楚国有一家人,祭过了祖宗之後,便将一壶祭祀时用的酒,留给办事人员喝。办事人员很多,仅仅一壶酒,到底给谁喝呢?有人提议让?a href='//' target='_blank'>咳嗽诘厣匣?惶跎撸?每旎?煤茫?桶颜夂?聘4蠹叶既衔a href='//' target='_blank'>办法很好。有一个人很快就把蛇画好了。

这壶酒就归他所得。这时,他回头看别人,都没有画好,就得意扬扬地说:"你们画得好慢呀ⅵ等我再画上几只脚吧ⅵ"正在他画蛇脚的时候,另一个人已经把蛇画好了。那人把酒壶夺了过去说:"蛇是没有脚的,你怎麽画上了脚?"说罢,就喝起酒来。

关于动物的四字成语故事典故大全

关于动物的四字成语故事典故大全 在汉学成语中不难发现有很多关于动物的成语,每一种动物都有其独特的性情,而他们所拥有的品格有很多值得人们学习的地方。 以下集锦了一些关于动物的成语故事典故,在很多动物成语中我们不但能够更加深入地了解动物的习性,而且还能从中领悟到一些做人的大道理。 《亡羊补牢》典故一 从前,有个人养了一圈羊。一天早晨,他发现少了一只羊,仔细一查,原来羊圈破了个窟窿,夜里狼钻进来把羊叼走了一只。邻居劝他说:“赶快把羊圈修修,把窟窿堵上吧!”那个人不肯接受劝告,说:“羊已经丢了,还修羊圈干什么?”第二天早上,他发现羊又少了一只。 原来,狼又从窟窿钻了进来,又叼走了一只羊。他很后悔自己没听从邻居的劝告,便赶快堵上窟窿,修好了羊圈。从此,狼再也不能钻进羊圈叼羊了。 《守株待兔》典故二 战国时代的思想家韩非子,阐述君王治理人民要合时宜,来建立适当的政策与设施。不可一味地遵循古法,认为古代圣人的政策就是好的,而不管适不适合当前社会。他举了一个例子来说明这个道理:宋国有个农夫,有天在耕作时,看见一只兔子跑过来。那只兔子可能太惊慌了,没注意前方,就撞上一棵树,把脖子撞断死了,农夫便不劳而获地得到那只兔子。 他想以后如果都能够这样得到兔子,就不需要再辛苦耕作了。于是扔掉手中的耕具,天天守在树旁等兔子送上门来。结果从此以后再也没得到任何一只兔子,反而让自己成为全宋国的笑柄。

所以,用旧法来治理国家,就像这个守兔之人,根本会徒劳无功。后来这个故事被浓缩成「守株待兔」,用来比喻拘泥守成,也用来比 喻妄想不劳而获,或等着目标自己送上门来。 《为虎作伥》典故三 从前,在某一个地方的一个山洞里,住着一只凶猛无比的老虎。 有一天,它因为没有食物充饥,觉得非常难过。于是,它走出山洞, 到附近的山野里去猎取食物。 正在这时候,老虎看到山腰的不远处有一个人正蹒珊地走来,便 猛扑过去,把那个人咬死,把他的肉吃光。但是老虎还不满足,它抓 住那个人的鬼魂不放,非让它再找一个人供它享用不可,不然,它就 不让那人的鬼魂获得自由。那个被老虎捉住的鬼魂居然同意了。 于是,他就给老虎当向导,找呀找的,终于遇到第二个人了。这时,那个鬼魂为了自己早日得到解脱,竟然协助老虎行凶。他先过去 迷惑新遇到的人,然后把那人的带子解开,衣服脱掉,好让老虎吃起 来更方便。这个协助老虎吃人的鬼魂,便叫做伥鬼。后人根据这个传说,把协助坏人做伤天害理的事情,称“为虎作伥”。出处《正字通·听雨记谈》 《叶公好龙》典故四 春秋时期,有个楚国人沈诸梁,字子高,是叶地县尹,所以自称 叶公,大家都叫他“叶公子高”。叶公喜欢龙的癖好名扬四方。他不 但在身上的佩剑、凿刀上雕着龙,家里的门窗梁柱上也刻着龙,就连 墙上都绘着龙的图案。天界的天龙知道人间有这样一个好龙成癖的人,十分感动,决定要下凡来走一趟,向叶公表示谢意。 于是叶公好龙的故事就这样发生了。一天,叶公正在家中午睡, 一时间忽然风雨大作,电闪雷鸣。梦中的叶公被惊醒了。他急忙起来 关窗户,没想到天龙从窗户外探进头来,吓得叶公魂飞魄散。当他转 身逃进堂屋,又看见一条硕大无比的龙尾横在面前。

塞翁失马--成语故事英文版

Saiwong and his lost horse 塞翁失马 Traditional Chinese life philosophy on nutrition draws heavily from Taoism theory. In an ancient China Taoism book,"Huainan Zi 淮南子", there is a famous story about "blessings" and "misfortune". Near China's northern borders lived a man well versed in the practices of Taoism. His father was named Saiwong, which means "old man who lives near the border. One day, his horse, for no reason at all, found itself in the territory of one of the northern tribes. Everyone commiserated with him. "Don't be so upset, it's just a horse, please take care of yourself." "Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father, Saiwong. The neighbors didn't understand what Saiwong's meant and gossip spread about this "weird old man". After a few months, the lost horse came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him. "Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of misfortune," said Saiwong. People were annoyed by this. Since Saiwong's son was well-off and kept good horses he became fond of riding, and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. It caused a massive problem at the time because

嗟来之食-中国成语故事英语版中英对照

【成语来源】 food handed out in contempt嗟来之食 One year during the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), there was a the Qi State (齐国) was severely strickend by a famine. 春秋时代,有一年齐国发生大饥荒。 Qian Ao (qián ào 黔敖), a very rich but arrogant man took the occasion to showcase his generosity through preparing food by the roadside and giving it to the passing refugees in charity. 有一位叫做黔敖有钱贵族,在街边准备食物分发给来往的难民,以显示自己的慷慨。 A man with shabby clothes happened to walk by with his shoes trailing along, he was so hungry as not to open his eyes. 有一个饥民,用衣袖蒙着脸,拖着鞋,饿得眼睛都睁不开的样子,慢慢地走过来。 Seeing the poor man, Qian Ao held the food by left hand and the drink by right hand, and shouted at him,"Hi, come to eat !” 黔敖见了,就左手拿着吃的,右手捧着喝的,向他喊道:“喂,来吃吧!” Hearing the word, the man glared his eyes and said, “It is because I am not willing to eat the food handed out in contempt that I have been famished to such a degree. " 那人一听这话,立即瞪着眼睛,说道:“我就是因为不吃…嗟来之食,才饿到这般地步的。" Though Qian Ao made an apology to him for that, the man still resolutely refused to eat the food and thus he died of hunger in the end. 尽管黔敖向他道歉,那人仍然坚决不吃,终于饿死了。 This set phrase now extensively denotes the disrespectful aims. This story means that a person who has a strong sense of self-respect would rather die of hunger than be despised. 此故事讲的是一个怀有强烈自尊心的人,宁可饿死也不肯接受人轻视。现在这个成语泛指带有侮辱性的施舍。 【文化链接】 中文中“嗟来之食”的意思就是“带有侮辱性的施舍”,英语直译就是“something handed out in contempt”,那如果是“主动去乞求帮助或是施舍”的话,英语该如何表达呢? 英文中常用惯语有“come hat in hand”,也就是是乞求或请求别人“施舍”,求人给一些原本不属于你的东西,源自英国民俗,根据当时英国的民间习俗,当一个人穷困潦倒、无以为生时,就可以手持帽子,低声下气地向别人乞讨,以获取他人的同情,这是一种非常丢脸的行为,所以一般人除非迫不得已,否则是不会这样做的。 所以,come hat in hand 常用来比喻“走投无路”、“穷困潦倒”、“有求于人”。 例如: Retired workers need not come hat in hand to ask for supplementary allowance. (退休工人就不必卑躬屈膝地请求追加补助费了。) 精彩英语:

关于动物的成语故事典故大全 《亡羊补牢》典故一 从前,有个人养了一圈羊。一天早晨,他发现少了一只羊,仔细一查,原来羊圈破了个窟窿,夜里狼钻进来把羊叼走了一只。邻居劝他说:赶快把羊圈修修,把窟窿堵上吧!那个人不肯接受劝告,说:羊已经丢了,还修羊圈干什么?第二天早上,他发现羊又少了一只。 原来,狼又从窟窿钻了进来,又叼走了一只羊。他很后悔自己没听从邻居的劝告,便赶快堵上窟窿,修好了羊圈。从此,狼再也不能钻进羊圈叼羊了。 《守株待兔》典故二 战国时代的思想家韩非子,阐述君王治理人民要合时宜,来建立适当的政策与设施。不可一味地遵循古法,认为古代圣人的政策就是好的,而不管适不适合当前社会。他举了一个例子来说明这个道理:宋国有个农夫,有天在耕作时,看见一只兔子跑过来。那只兔子可能太惊慌了,没注意前方,就撞上一棵树,把脖子撞断死了,农夫便不劳而获地得到那只兔子。 他想以后如果都可以这样得到兔子,就不需要再辛苦耕作了。于是扔掉手中的耕具,天天守在树旁等兔子送上门来。结果从此以后再也没得到任何一只兔子,反而让自己成为全宋国的笑柄。 所以,用旧法来治理国家,就像这个守兔之人,根本会徒劳无功。后来这个故事被浓缩成「守株待兔」,用来比喻拘泥守成,也用来比喻妄想不劳而获,或等着目标自己送上门来。 《为虎作伥》典故三 从前,在某一个地方的一个山洞里,住着一只凶猛无比的老虎。有一天,它因为没有食物充饥,觉得非常难过。于是,它走出山洞,到附近的山野里去猎取食物。 正在这时候,老虎看到山腰的不远处有一个人正蹒珊地走来,便猛扑过去,把那个人咬死,把他的肉吃光。但是老虎还不满足,它抓住那个人的鬼魂不放,非让它再找一个人供它享用不可,不然,它就不让那人的鬼魂获得自由。那个被老虎捉住的鬼魂居然同意了。 于是,他就给老虎当向导,找呀找的,终于遇到第二个人了。这时,那个鬼魂为了自己早日得到解脱,竟然帮助老虎行凶。他先过去迷惑新遇到的人,然后把那人的带子解开,衣服脱掉,好让老虎吃起来更方便。这个帮助老虎吃人的鬼魂,便叫做伥鬼。后人根据这一传说,把帮助坏人做伤天害理的事情,称为虎作伥。出处《正字通听雨记谈》 《叶公好龙》典故四 春秋时期,有个楚国人沈诸梁,字子高,是叶地县尹,因此自称叶公,大家都叫他叶公子高。叶公喜欢龙的癖好名扬四方。他不但在身上的佩剑、凿刀上雕着龙,家里的门窗梁柱

铁杵成针--成语故事英文版

铁杵成针 Perseverance spells success Born in the 8th century, Li Bai is probably one of the most prolific poets in Chinese history. This Tang Dynasty poet is so well-known in China that even today, a kindergarten child can recite one or two of his poems. But when the literature giant was a child, he was very naughty. One day, he played hookey and found himself at a nearby stream. He saw an old woman grinding an iron rod on a big stone. Driven by curiosity, he asked: "What are you doing, granny?" "Grinding an iron rod," said the old woman without stopping her work. "But what for?" "To make a sewing needle." "What?! Did you say you're grinding a big iron rod into a small sewing needle?!" "Why not? There's nothing in the world you can't achieve." "But it'll take many years!" "That doesn't matter. What's important is perseverance. If I put in a great deal of effort, I'm sure I can grind the iron rod into a needle." The old woman ground on and on. Li Bai was deeply moved by the old woman's words and actions. He felt ashamed of himself. He ran back to his study and since then worked very hard at his books. After years of hard work, he achieved great success as a poet. He traveled around the world and wrote poems to praise local beauty and as a result, his fame spread far and wide. When he came back to his hometown, Li Bai met that old lady again, still grinding the iron rod. But this time, the iron was almost a needle; the old lady's perseverance had brought her success.
