       英文版的《守株待兔》如下：

       Once upon a time, there was a farmer. One day, while he was working in the fields, he saw a hare run into a tree stump accidentally and die of a broken neck.

       从前，有一个农夫。一天，在他耕田的时候，忽然跑过来一只野兔，恰好碰在一个树桩上，脖子折断死了。

       The farmer took the hare home and cooked a delicious meal for himself.

       农夫把兔子拾回家去，美美地吃了一顿兔肉。

       That night he thought: "I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is wait every day by the stump to pick up the hare that runs into it."

       当晚，他就想：“我何必辛辛苦苦的种地呢？每天在树桩旁等着捡撞死的野兔就好了”。

       So from then on he gave up farming, and stood by the tree stump waiting for the hare to come and run into it.

       于是他从此不再耕种，每天在树桩旁等待野兔的到来。

       But from then on, he never saw another hare run into the tree stump.

       但是，从那以后，他再没有发现一只野兔撞在树桩上。

       成语寓意

       野兔撞在树桩上死去，这是非常偶然的事，它并不意味着，别的野兔也一定会撞死在这个树桩上。可是，这个农夫竟然以偶然当作必然，不惜放下农具，任其耕田荒芜，专等偶然的收获。

       这个故事告诫我们：不要存有侥幸心理，不要总想着不劳而获，如果不付出努力，而寄希望于意外之财，结果只能是竹篮打水一场空。我们的生活是要靠自己的双手去一点点地创造的，如果总想不劳而获，那么人生就会像这个宋国人的田地一样荒废掉。

       画蛇添足

        An official of the ancient State of Chu awarded a pot of wine to his men after the ceremony of Spring Sacrifice. One man said， “We have only one pot of wine. It's not enough for all of us but sufficient for one. Let's determine who'll have the wine by drawing a snake on the ground. He who finishes first will have the wine.”

        The others agreed. Very soon， one man finished his snake. He was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing. He said complacently，“How slowly you are！ I still have enough time to add feet to my snke.” But before he finished the feet， another man finished his snke and grabbed the pot from him， saying，“Whoever has seen a snake with feet？ Yours is not a snke. So the wine should be mine！” He drank the wine. The man adding the feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his foolishness.

        楚国有一个官员，在春天祭过了祖宗之后，便将一壶酒赏给他的办事人员喝。有人提议：“我们只有一壶酒，肯定不够我们大家喝的，一个人喝倒是绰绰有余。我们每人在地上画一条蛇，谁画得最快，就把这壶酒给他。” 大家都同意了。

        有一个人很快就把蛇画好了。他正打算喝这壶酒时，看见别人都还忙着画呢。他就得意扬扬地说：“你们画得好慢呀，等我再画上几只脚吧！” 他的蛇脚还没画完，另一个人已经把蛇画好了。那人把酒壶夺了过去说：“有谁见过长脚的蛇？你画的不是蛇，这壶酒应该是我的了。”说罢，就喝起酒来。那个给蛇画脚的人没办法，只能懊悔自己的愚蠢。

       一鸣惊人

        In the Warring States Period, Duke Wei of Qi neglected state affairs, for the first three years of his reign, giving himself over to dissipation. One of his ministers, Chun Yukun who had a good sense of humour, said to him: 'There is a big bird which has neither taken wing nor sung for three years.' The duke answered, 'Once that bird starts to fly and sing, it will astonish the world.' The duke thereupon devoted himself to his duties and built his state up into a powerful one.

        战国时代，齐威王即位后做了三年国君，只顾享乐，不理政事。有个善于说笑话的人叫淳于髡，一天对齐威王说：“城里有一只大鸟，三年不飞也不叫，你知道这是什么道理？”齐威王说：“这鸟不飞则罢，一飞就冲天；不鸣则罢，一鸣就惊人。”在淳于髡的激发下，齐威王开始治理国家，取得很大成绩，齐国的声威一直保持了几十年。

       杞人忧天

        In the Spring and Autumn Period, in the State of Qi there was a man who always let his imagination run away with him. One day he even worried that the sky would fall on his head. He was so worried that he could neither eat nor sleep. Later, someone persuaded him that his fears were Ground-less.

        春秋时代，杞国有一个喜欢胡思乱想的人。一天，他竟然想到，天会塌下来，地会陷下去，自己到哪里去安身？这个人越想越害怕，整天愁眉苦脸，坐立不安，白天吃不下饭，晚上睡不着觉。后来有人耐心地开到他，他才放下了心。

       精卫填海

        Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, legendary ruler of primitive China, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea and her boat capsized. Just before she was buried by the surging waves, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird. As it flew over the roaring sea, it cried sadly in the sound "jinwei, jingwei". That was why people called it "Jingwei".

        The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. It hated the sea so much that it decided to fill it up. Every day, it flew to and fro between the mountain and the sea, carrying in a twig or a pebble from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.

        One day, the roaring sea said to Jingwei, "Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You'll never fill me up." Jingwei replied, "I'll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it'll take me thousands of years! I'll fight on until doomsday!"

        The brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest.

        From this fable comes the idiom "The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea". We use it to describe people who are firm and indomitable and will not stop until they reach their goal.

        从前，炎帝（传说中中国原始社会的统治者）的小女儿在东海上划船。正当她划得高兴时，海面上突然升起一阵大风，把她的小船弄翻了。就在她要被汹涌的波浪吞 没时，她的灵魂变成了一只美丽的小鸟。它飞过那咆哮的海面，伤心的叫着"精卫，精卫"的声音。所以人们就叫她"精卫"。

        精卫鸟住在靠海的一座山上。它非常恨大海，所以决心要把它填平。它每天来回于山海之间，把从山上衔来的小树枝和小石子扔在大海里。

        一天，咆哮的大海对精卫说："可怜的小鸟，停止你那无谓的举动吧！你是永远都填不平我的。" 精卫回答说："我当然会把你填平的！即使这需要千千万万年的时间，我也一定会斗争到底，直到你的末日来临！"

        这只勇敢的小鸟继续从山上衔来小树枝和小石子，扔到东海中，从未有片刻休息。

        "精卫填海"这个成语就是由这个传说而来的，形容那些坚定不移，不屈不挠，不到目的决不罢休的人。

        刻舟求剑

        Making His Mark (Ke Zhou Qiu Jian)

        A man from the state of Chu was crossing a river. In the boat, his sword fell into the water. Immediately he made a mark on the boat.

        "This is where my sword fell off," he said.

        When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to look for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.

       

        The boat had moved but the sword had not. Is this not a very foolish way to look for a sword?

        Self-contradiction

        A man of the state of Chu had a spear and a shield for sale. He was loud in his praise of his shield. "My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through." He also sang praises of his spear. "My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything." "What would happen," he was asked, "if your spear is used to pierce your shield?" It is impossible for an imperable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing imperable. n0 d9 p Z+ x/ M

        自相矛盾

        很久以前，楚国有个卖兵器的人，在市场上卖矛和盾。为了让人家愿意买他的货，他先举起盾向人们夸口道：“我的盾是世上最坚固的盾，任何锋利的东西都不能刺穿它。”接着又举起他的矛，向人吹嘘说：“你们再看看我的矛，它锋利无比，无坚不摧”人群中有人问道：“依你的说法，那就拿你的矛来刺你的盾吧，看看结果怎么样？” 卖兵器的人听了张口结舌，无从回答，只好拿着矛和盾走了。

成语 寓言故事 :Losing One's Head忘乎所以

       　The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating man's behavior.

       　南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

       　People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distiller's grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

       　人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

       　The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure them into traps and cursed:

       　猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂:

       　"Humph! Do you think we don't know your tricks? We'll never be taken in!"

       　?哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!?

       　So they called one another, turned round and left.

       　于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

       　But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldn't bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation, they finally said to themselves:

       　但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说:

       　"Just for a taste of the wine. It won't matter as long as we don't get drunk."

       　?去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。?

       　Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

       　不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

       　As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

       　结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

成语寓言故事:A Half Day's Leisure半日清闲

       　One day, a high official wanted to amuse himself in a temple.

       　一天，有一个大官，要到寺院里去游玩。

       　His subordinates notified the monks in the temple three days in advance to prepare a good meal on time. So all the monks in the temple busied themselves with the preparation.

       　他的手下人便在三天前就通知寺院里的和尚，准时备好饭菜。于是，寺院里所有的和尚，都忙着张罗了起来。

       　The temple was situated in a remote mountain, surrounded by bamboo groves, and very tranquil. After the high official had strolled about for a while, he was very pleased. While dining, he recited lines from a poem of the Tang Dynasty:

       　寺院坐落在深山里，四面都是竹林，的确非常清静。大官游玩了一番之后，非常高兴，一面吃饭，一面吟起了唐人的诗句:

       　"Passing through the bamboo courtyard and meeting a monk,A half day's leisure is gained in this fleeting life."

       　?因过竹院逢僧话，又得浮生半日闲。?

       　When the old monk heard these lines of the poem, he couldn't help laughing.

       　老和尚听了诗句，不觉笑了起来。

       　The high official asked hastily:

       　大官连忙问道:

       　"What are you laughing about?"

       　?你笑什么?

       　The old monk replied:

       　老和尚回答道:

       　"Your Honour have indeed gained a half day's leisure, but I have been busy for three whole days."

       　?您老人家固然清闲了半天，可是我老和尚却已经忙了整整三天!?

       　但是，等到孵出小鸟以后，它就到少许低一点儿的地方筑巢。这是因为它特别爱护小鸟，生怕它们从高处摔下来。

       　When the young birds grow beautiful feathers, the kingfisher will become even fonder of them and more protective, so it will move its nest further downward, with the result that the young birds are easily taken away by people.

       　等到小鸟长出了美丽的羽毛以后，母鸟就更加喜欢和爱护它们了，于是又向下搬巢，结果小翠鸟却被人们轻而易举地掏走了。
