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.

1、守株待兔： 相传在战国时代宋国，有一个农民，日出而作，日入而息．遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖；一遇灾荒，可就要忍饥挨饿了．他想改善生活，但他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕，总想碰到送上门来的意外之财。 奇迹终于发生了。深秋的一天，他正在田里耕地，周围有人在打猎。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小野兽没命的奔跑。突然，有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。 当天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。 从此，他便不再种地。一天到晚，守着那神奇的树根，等着奇迹的出现。 成语“守株待兔”，比喻亡想不劳而得，或死守狭隘的经验，不知变通。 staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it this story took place more than 2,000 years ago,in the warring states period（475-221 b.c.）.tradition has it that in the state of song at that time there was a man who was famous for staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it. he was a yong farmer,and his family had been farmers for generations.year after year and generation after generation, farmers used to sow in spring and harvest in autumn,beginning to work at sunrise and retiring at sunset.in good harvest years,they could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear.if there was a famine due to crop failure,they had to go hungry. this young farmer wanted to improve his life.but he was too lazy and too cowardly.being lazy and cowardly over everything,he often dreamed of having unexpected blessings. a miracle took place at last. one day in late autumn,when he was ploughing in the field,two groups of people were hunting nearby.as shoutings were rising one after another,scared hares were running desperately.suddenly,a blind hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died. that day,he ate his fill.

Chinese culture-loaded words refer to the uniqueness of Chinese items, and of course, contain the connotation of Chinese culture. With the wide spread of Chinese culture to the world, how can they be understood and accepted by foreigners accurately in translation? The paper, by giving a good number of examples, introduces some methods of translating Chinese culture-loaded words, including transliteration, literal translation, free translation and so on. These methods help to understand how Chinese culture-loaded words are

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：
