英语英语成语故事之自相矛盾

       自相矛盾

       A man of the state of Chu (chǔ guó 楚国) had a spear and a shield for sale.

       楚国有个卖兵器的人，在市场上卖矛和盾。

       He was loud in praises of his shield."My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through."

       为了让人家愿意买他的货，他先举起盾向人们夸口道：“你们看，我的盾是世上最坚固的盾，任何锋利的东西都不能刺穿它。”

       He also sang praises of his spear."My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything."

       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，无论多么坚硬的盾，都挡不住它，一刺就穿!”

       "What would happen," he was asked, "if your spear is used to pierce your shield?"

       人群中有人问道：“如果用你的矛去刺你的盾，结果怎么样?”

       It is impossible for an impenetrable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable.

       这世界上一样无坚不摧的东西永远不会与一样什么都能摧毁的东西共存。

       英语成语故事-井底之蛙

       The Frog in the Shallow Well (Jing Di Zhi Wa)

       Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"

       Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.

       "Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."

       After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.

       A little later,a wild goose was flying from the east.

       Gēng léi just drew his bow but didn't shoot an arrow.

       Gēng léi esplained,"This wild goose flew slowly and cried sadly.Its flying slowly suggested that it was still aching with the old wound; its crying sadly suggested that it had strayed long from its flock.When it heard the twang the wild goose had to flutter hard to fly high for its life.So it is evitably fell down with its old wound burst."

       对牛弹琴

       Gong Mingyi was a famous musician in ancient times, who played the lute very well.

       公明仪是古代一位很有名的音乐家，弹得一手好琴。

       One day, while playing the lute indoors, Gong Mingyi saw a cow eating grass leisurely outside the window. He had a sudden whim to play some melodies for the cow. He first played the "Exercise of Qing Jiao", but the cow still kept on eating grass with head lowered. He seemed to realize that the melody was too highbrow for the cow to understand.

       有一天，他在室内弹琴，看见一头牛在窗外悠闲地吃着草。他忽然想弹几曲给牛听听。他先弹了一曲“清角之操”。可是，牛还是跟刚才一样，只顾低着头吃草。他似乎意识到，这支曲子太高雅了，牛没有听懂。

       So he played several other melodies, imitating the buzzing sounds of swarms of flying mosquitoes, and the bleats of a calf looking for its companions. At this, to his surprise, the cow stopped eating grass, but raised its head, pricked up its ears, wagged its tail and, pacing up and down in small steps, began to listen attentively.

       于是，他弹了另外几支曲子，模拟蚊子成群结队飞来飞去的嗡嗡声;模拟小牛犊寻找伙伴的眸眸叫唤声。这样一来，这头牛竟然不吃草了，抬起头，竖着耳朵，甩着尾巴，迈着小步，留心地倾听起来。

       成语故事，中英文对照

       惊弓之鸟

       Birds Startled by the Mere Twang of a Bowstring

       战国时期（公元前403―221年中国中原地区各诸侯国连年争战的时代）魏国有个名叫更羸的人。一天，他对国王说：“我只要拉开弓，空射一下，就能把天上的鸟射下来。”国王不相信。更羸便对准天上飞来的一只雁射去，果真那只雁听到拉弦的声音就掉了下来。国王感到很奇怪。更羸说，“那是一只受过伤的雁。它一听到我拉开弓弦的声响，就惊慌得支持不住，自然要掉下来了。”

       In the Warring States Period, there was a man in the State of Wei called Geng Lei. One day he said to the king: 'I can shoot down birds by simply plucking my bowstring.' When the king expressed doubt, Geng Lei pointed his bow at a wild goose flying in the sky, twanged the bowstring, and the goose fell to the ground. Geng Lei said, 'This goose has been hurt in the past. Hearing the twang of the bowstring, it assumed that it was doomed. So it simply gave up trying to live.'

       “惊弓之鸟”这个成语比喻受过惊恐之后，有一点动静就特别害怕。

       This idiom means that if one has been frightened in the past one's will may become paralysed in a similar situation.

       画蛇添足

       　Drawing a Snake and Adding Feet to It

       　In the past a family in the State of Chu made sacrificial offers to their ancestors, and after that they rewarded the people who helped in the ceremony with the pot of wine used in it.

       　从前，楚国有一户人家，祭完祖宗以后，把一壶祭祀时用过的酒，赏给帮助办事的人喝。

       　There were many helpers but only one pot of wine. Who should drink it? Someone suggested:

       　办事的人很多，可是酒只有一壶，到底给谁喝呢?有人提议说:

       　"Each person is to draw a snake on the ground. Whoever draws fastest and most lifelike will get the pot of wine."

       　“各人都在地上画一条蛇，谁画得快、画得像，就把这壶酒给谁喝。”

       　Everyone thought this was a good idea.

       　大家都认为这个办法很好。

       　One man drew very fast, finished it in the twinkling of an eye, and was given the pot of wine. At this moment, he saw that the others had not yet finished, so he wanted to flaunt his skill once more. He said proudly:

       　有一个人画得很快，一转眼，就把蛇画好了。这壶酒应该归他。可是，这时候，他看看别人都没有画好，就想再炫耀一下自己的能耐。他得意洋洋地说:

       　"How slow you are! Let me add a few snake feet."

       　“你们画得多慢啊，让我再画上几只蛇脚吧!”

       　Holding the wine pot in his left hand, he began to add feet to the finished snake with his right hand. When he was just adding feet to the snake, another man finished his drawing. He grabbed the wine pot at once, saying:

       　他左手拿着酒壶，右手又开始给画好了的蛇添上脚。当他正在添足的时候，另一个人却把蛇画好了，而且立刻把酒壶夺了过去，说:

       　"A snake has no feet. How could you add feet to it? The first one who finished drawing a snake is I, not you."

       　“蛇是没有脚的，你怎么画上了脚?第一个画好蛇的是我，不是你哩!”

       　Having said this, the man drank the wine with an easy conscience.

       　那人说完话，就心安理得地喝起酒来。
