这时曹操正在邺郡庆贺铜雀台落成。在铜雀台上大宴文武百官，并将一件西川锦袍挂在树上，下设箭靶，射中箭靶者便可得到战袍，武将们个个争先，想展现自己的武艺。

武将射毕，曹操又让文官吟诗作赋，记录铜雀台落成之事。曹操正在兴头上，也赋诗吟唱。

忽报东吴使节华歆前来。曹操看罢表章，与谋士定计使孙、刘相吞并。便上表奏周瑜为南郡太守，程普为江夏太守，华歆为大理寺少卿。

周瑜就职南郡太守后，便想报仇，遂上书孙权。要鲁肃讨还荆州，鲁肃无奈，只好前往荆州。

鲁肃来到荆州，刘备依孔明之计放声大哭，孔明从旁说还了荆州，便无处安身。触动刘备心中伤处，而大哭不止，孔明于是要鲁肃转告孙权，暂缓讨回荆州。

鲁肃将实情告诉了周瑜，周瑜说：“你又中了诸葛亮的计了。”便要鲁肃再去见刘备，说东吴将取西川给刘备，但刘备要把荆州交还东吴。并解释说：“我不过以此为名，要刘备无所防备罢了。我军以攻取西川为名借道荆州，便可乘势杀了刘备，夺取荆州。”

鲁肃再到荆州，说周瑜将率兵攻取西川以换荆州。刘备忙谢说：“我很感激，雄师到时，一定远迎犒劳。”鲁肃暗喜，辞别而去。

周瑜引水陆大军五万，往荆州出发，快到荆州时，见城上插两面白旗，并无一人。周瑜将船靠岸，领二十名骑兵到城下察看。

忽听到一声梆子响，城上一齐竖起刀枪。赵云站在城楼上喊叫：“孔明军师已知都督的计策，所以留我在此守候。”探马又来报，关羽、张飞、黄忠、魏延四路兵马，从四面杀来。周瑜大叫一声，旧疮复裂，从马上坠了下来，众将急忙将他救回。

周瑜被救回船，军士报告说刘备、孔明在前面山顶上饮酒取乐，周瑜更加愤怒，咬牙切齿说：“你道我取不得西川，我偏要去取。”便令船队上行，到巴丘时，探子报说：“上流有刘封、关平两人领军截住水路。”

周瑜正要出战，孔明忽然差人送信来。劝他不要去取西川，如曹军乘虚而攻江南，江南就不保了。周瑜读完信，口吐鲜血，他知道自已活不长了，便上书孙权，推荐鲁肃代替他的职位。死前叹了口气说：“既生瑜，何生亮!”连叫数声而亡，死时才三十六岁。

孙权得知周瑜病故，放声大哭。按周瑜遗嘱，命鲁肃为都督。

In the Warring States Period, a man in the state of Chu was offering a sacrifice 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 piecture of snake; the one who finished the piecture 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 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.

在《诫外生书》中，诸葛亮把立志看作成才三要素(德、学、才)的基础和关键，他主张立志必须高远，才能克服前进道路上的种种困难，达到最终的成功。他写道：“夫志当存高远，慕先贤，绝情欲，弃疑滞，使庶几之志揭然，有所存，恻然有所感，忍屈伸，去细碎，广咨问，除嫌吝，虽有淹留，何损于美趣，何患于不济!”如果志向不高远、坚定，则会出现相反的后果：“若志一消费品毅，意不慷慨，徒碌碌滞于俗默默束于情，永窜伏于凡庸，不免于下流矣!”

诸葛亮不仅这么“诫子”、“诫外生”，而且身体力行，为儿孙做榜样。他对自己严格要求，虽贵为丞相，也绝不搞特殊，坚持“行不言之教”。他一生廉洁奉公，生活俭朴。他在给后主(刘禅)的表上写着：“成都有桑八百株，薄田十五顷，子弟衣食自有余饶。至于臣在外任，无别高度，随身衣食悉仰于官，不别治生，以长尺寸。”桃李不言，下自成蹊。诸葛亮这种廉洁的作风，对子孙是无形的教育，为后人树立了很好的榜样。

同时，他十分注意采取措施让子弟不搞特殊化。诸葛亮的哥哥诸葛瑾将独生子乔过继给诸葛亮。乔在蜀国官至驸马都尉，本当安居成都，但诸葛亮外出打仗，诸子弟都随军押运粮草，诸葛亮认为乔也应该与他们同甘共苦，于是便命乔与诸弟子一起押运粮草于山谷。这种做法对乔是一个很好的教育。不搞特殊化，让子弟在一种平等、和谐的环境中成长，有利于培养他们良好的人际关系，有助于培养他们较强的适应社会能力，对于培养他们不依赖他人、独立生存的顽强意志更有好处。

Zhuangzi was sitting by Pushui Rievr, fishing leisurely1.

庄子悠闲地坐在濮水河边钓鱼。

楚威王派二位大臣游说庄子，希望他接受楚国相国的职位。

庄子问道：“听说贵国有只神龟，已死三千年，楚王将它作为镇国之宝，珍藏在庙堂之中。两位认为这乌龟愿意享有死后的尊荣还是宁肯拖着尾巴在烂泥里活着？”

楚国使丞回答说：“我们认为他愿意活着！”庄子听了这话，对二人说：“好了，两位走吧。我也愿意拖着尾巴在这烂泥中自由自在地活着。”

1 leisurely

adj.悠闲的；从容的，慢慢的

参考例句：

We walked in a leisurely manner,looking in all the windows.我们慢悠悠地走着，看遍所有的橱窗。

A great and wise man once called one of his workmen to him saying, "Go into the far country and build for me a house. The decisions of planning and of actual construction will be yours, but remember, I shall come to accept your work for a very special friend of mine."

And so the workman departed with a light heart for his field of labor. Material of all kinds was plentiful here, but the workman had a mind of his own. "Surely," he thought, "I know my business. I can use a bit of inferior materials here and cheat on my workmanship a little there, and still make the finished work look good. Only I will know that what I have built has weaknesses."

And so, at last the work was completed and the workman reported back to the great and wise man. "Very good," he said. "Now remember that I wanted you to use only the finest materials and craftsmanship in this house because I wanted to make present of it——My friend, you are the one I had you build it for. It is all yours."

How much like man. He comes to earth a stranger. He has his free agency. He may build as he likes. But on the morning of his resurrection he will receive what he has built for an eternal home and habitation.

One year he went to take the imperial examination, and came bottom of the list of successfulcandidates.

有一年他去参加考试，公布名单时他是最后一名。

Back in his hometown, one of his neighbor asked him whether the neighbors son had also passed.

回到家，他的邻居向他打听自己的儿子考得怎么样。

Sun Shan said, with a smile:"Sun Shan was the last on the list. Your son came after Sun Shan."

The people used this idiom to indicate failing in an examination or competition.

人们用“名落孙山”来比喻考试没有考上或者选拔没有被录取。

七擒七纵，三国时，诸葛亮出兵南方，将当地酋长孟获捉住七次，放了七次，使他真正服输，不再为敌。比喻运用策略，使对方心服。

[语出]晋•陈寿《三国志•蜀志•诸葛亮传》：“亮率众南征，其秋悉平。”裴松之注引《汉晋春秋》：“亮笑，纵使更战，七纵七擒，而亮犹遣获。”

[成语故事]

公元225年，蜀汉丞相诸葛亮为了巩固后方，率领军队南征。正当大功告成准备撤兵的时候，南方彝族的首领孟获，纠集了被打败的散兵来袭击蜀军。

诸葛亮得知，孟获不但作战勇敢，意志坚强，而且待人忠厚，在彝族中极得人心，就是汉族中也有不少人钦佩他，因此决定把他争取过来。

孟获虽然勇敢，但不善于用兵。第一次上阵，见蜀兵败退下去，就以为蜀兵不敌自己，不顾一切地追上去，结果闯进埋伏圈被擒。孟获认定自己要被诸葛亮处死，因此对自己说，死也要死得像个好汉，不能丢人。不料诸葛亮亲自给他松绑，好言劝他归顺。孟获不服这次失败，傲慢地加以拒绝。谙葛亮也不勉强他，而是陪他观看已经布置过的军营，之后特意问他：“你看这军营布置得怎么样?”

孟获观看得很仔细，他发现军营里都是些老弱残兵，便直率他说：“以前我不知道你们虚实，给你赢了一次，现在看了你们的军营，如果就是这样子，要赢你并不难!”

诸葛亮也不作解释，笑了笑就放孟获回去。他料定盂获今晚准来偷营，当即布置好埋伏。

孟获回去后，得意洋洋地对手下人说，蜀军都是些老弱残兵，军营的布置情况也已经看清楚，没有什么了不起的，今夜三更去劫营，定能逮住诸葛亮。

当天夜里，孟获挑选了五百名刀斧手，悄悄地摸进蜀军大营，什么阻挡也没有。孟获暗暗高兴，以为成功在即，不料蜀军伏兵四起，孟获又被擒住。

孟获接连被擒，再也不敢鲁莽行事了。他带领所有人马退到沪水南岸，只守不攻。蜀兵到了沪水，没有船不能过去，天气又热，困难重重。”诸葛亮下令造了一些木筏子和竹筏子，一面派少量士兵假装渡河，但到了河心一碰到对岸射来的箭立即退回来，随后再去渡河;一面将大军分成两路，绕到上游和下游的狭窄处，渡过河去包围孟获据守的上城。后来，孟获又被擒住。

孟获虽然第三次被擒，但他仍然不服气。诸葛亮还是不杀他;款待他后又放他回去。将士中有人对诸葛亮的这种做法不理解，认为他对孟获大仁慈宽大了，诸葛亮向大家解释说：“我军要彻底平定南方，必须重用孟获这样的人。要是他能心悦诚服地联络南人报效朝廷，就能抵得上十万大军。你们现在辛苦些，以后就不必再到这里来打仗了。”

孟获这次被擒又释放后，下决心不再跟蜀兵作战。但时间一长。营里快断粮了，他派人向诸葛亮借粮，诸葛亮同意了，但要孟获亲自出来，与蜀军大将一对一比武。孟获接连打败了几名蜀将，但刚到大堆粮食旁，被绊马索绊倒被擒。蜀将当即传达请葛亮的命令，让盂获回去，并把粮食搬走。

在这种情况下，孟获终于从心里佩服诸葛亮。为了让各部族都归顺蜀国，他把各部族首领请来，带着他们一起上阵。结果又被蜀兵引进埋伏圈，一网打尽。蜀营里传出话来，让孟获等回去，不少部首领请孟获作主，究竟怎么办。孟获流着眼泪说：“作战中七纵七擒(即六次放回七次逮住)，自古以来没有听说过。丞相对我们仁至义尽，我没有脸再回去了。”

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 mans behavior.

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

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure3 them into traps and cursed:"Humph! Do you think we dont know your tricks? Well never be taken in!"

So they called one another, turned round and left.

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldnt 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 hesitation5, they finally said to themselves: "Just for a taste of the wine. It wont matter as long as we dont get drunk."

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla1 put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

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

忘乎所以

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。

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。

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂：“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

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：“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

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。

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

Sam answers: “Of course! But you are round. I am flat.” The round fish days: “But we are both fishes.”

Sam thinks and says, “You are right. Let’s be friends.” They become good friends.

A snake, having made his hole close to the door of a cottage, inflicted a sever bite on the cottagers little son. So the child died.

This caused much sorrow to his parents. The father decided to kill the snake. The next day, on its coming out of its hole for food, he took up his ax, but, making too much haste to hit the snake, missed its head, and cut off only the end of its tail.

After some time the cottager, lest the snake should also bite him, tried to make peace, and placed some bread and salt beside its hole, the snake, slightly hissing, said, "From now on there can be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son."

No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.

这对夫妇痛不欲生。孩子的父亲决意弄死那条蛇。第二天，当蛇出洞觅食之时，他举起斧头就砍那条蛇。可惜太操之过急，没砍中蛇头，只砍断了尾巴。

过了一阵子，屋主很害怕那条蛇会以牙还牙，就想同蛇讲和，于是就将一些面包和盐放在洞口。那条蛇发出丝丝的声音作出回答：“从今以后，在我们之间不会有和平。因为我一看到你，就会想自己被砍掉的尾巴;同样当你见到我时， 你会想起你死去的儿子。”

面对伤害过自己的人，我们难以真正忘记有过的创痛。

The Christmas Tree——圣诞树的故事

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.

Bob Richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.

Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always On the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.

But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don‘t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "Coach, please let me play. I‘ve just got to play today," said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "All right," he said."You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone The coach came to him and said, " Kid, I can‘t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?"

He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"

Like the athlete‘s father, God is always there cheering for us. He‘s always reminding us to go on. He‘s even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. GOD has never missed a single game. What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest. Live for HIM for He‘s watching us in the game of life!

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don‘t get it! You can‘t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it‘s not that easy," I protested.

"Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It‘s your choice how you live life."

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I‘d be twins. Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.

"Weren‘t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He‘s a dead man. " I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,‘ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!‘ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.
