经典英语寓言小故事
Making His Mark “刻舟求剑”
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he
dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on
the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the
boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the
place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the
sword had not. Isn’t this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
楚国有个人坐船渡江 时，他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出
一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船 靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻
记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢？船继续行驶， 而宝
剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。


To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow “拔苗助长”
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After
he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings
grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day,
but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient
with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he
pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young
man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see
all the pulled- up young plants dying.
