关于诸葛亮的著名故事精选9篇 作文英语（经典20篇）

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.

Long, long ago, a farmer thought the shoots in his fields were not growing fast enough. He wanted to help them.So he pulled every shoot up, then went home, feeling very tired but very satisfied. "Look, how great I an! I can think out such a good idea.From now on, my shoots will grow faster and faster," he thought. "I an very tired today," he said to his family, "Ive been helping the young shoots to grow."When his son heard this, he ran out to the fields to have a look.To his surprise, he found all the shoots weredead.

很久很久以前，一个农夫感觉他田里的幼苗长得不是很快，他想帮助它们。于是他就向上拔它们，然后回了家，虽然感觉很累但是却很满意。他默默地想：“瞧我多么的伟大，我能想出如此好的办法。从现在起，我的幼苗将会生长得越来越快。”于是他对家人说：“我今天累坏了，我在帮助幼苗生长。”当他的儿子听到这话，便匆忙跑到地里去看。让他吃惊的是，他发现所有的幼苗都死了。

诸葛亮小的时候，跟着隐居在襄阳城南的水镜先生学习兵法。水镜先生养了一只公鸡，公鸡一到晌午啼叫三声，水镜先生就下课了。诸葛亮听课听得很不过瘾。

后来，他想了一个办法，在裤子上缝了一个口袋，每天上学的时候就抓几把小米放在口袋里。当晌午快到时，他悄悄地朝窗外撒一把小米。公鸡见有黄灿灿的小米，顾不上啼叫，就啄食起来。刚刚啄完，诸葛亮又撒一把，直到把口袋里面的小米撒完。

等公鸡吃完口袋里的小米再叫时，水镜先生多讲了一个时辰的课，可把师娘饿坏了，时间长了不免抱怨几句：“怎么搞到这么晚，晌午过了，也不知道饿!”

“你没听见鸡才叫吗?”水镜先生说。

师娘是个聪明人，知道其中必有奥妙。

第二天快到晌午的时候，她悄悄地来到了院子里，只见那只花颈公鸡刚要伸长脖子叫唤，就有人从书房窗口撒出一把小米。她走上前，把事情看了个仔细，又悄悄地回家了。

这天水镜先生回来，师娘笑着说：“你这个当先生的，还不如小诸葛。”于是她把刚才看到的情况，一五一十地告诉了水镜先生。

水镜先生听后一愣，又哈哈大笑起来，心想诸葛亮喂鸡求学，真是聪明过人，将来必定是盖世奇才。

诸葛亮经过刻苦学习，终于成为杰出的政治家和军事家，帮助刘备建立了蜀汉政权。

诸葛亮刻苦学习的精神值得我们每一个人学习。我们的学习条件好了，更应该发奋学习，拼搏进取，最大限度地发挥自身的潜力，成为有用之才。

诸葛亮(181—234)是西蜀的丞相，他以神机妙算而闻名。他为子孙的打算，也是算计得比较久远的。他在给哥哥诸葛瑾的信中曾特意说到他的儿子诸葛瞻：“瞻今已八岁，聪慧可爱，嫌其早成，恐不为正器耳。”

诸葛亮担心的是：聪明过早外露，容易自满自足，反而成不了大器。所以他给诸葛瞻起的名字叫做“思远”。他给外甥的信也说：“志当存高远。”这都表明他希望后代有远大的理想和志向。

怎样才能有远大的志向呢?诸葛亮在给儿子的信中指出了两个条件：一个叫静，一个叫俭。他说：

“夫君子之行，静以修身，俭以养德，非澹泊无以明志，非宁静无以致远。夫学须静也，才须学也，非学无以广才，非志无以成学。淫慢则不能励精，险躁则不能治性。”

他认为人要有才，就要刻苦学习，要学习就要有志气。还要心静，心不静就不能专心治学。生活太舒适了，也容易分散精力，立不了大志。生活俭朴才是涵养道德的主要条件。

他在给外甥的信中进一步指出：要坚持自己的远大志向，“忍屈伸，去细碎，广咨问，除嫌吝。”这就是说，要不考虑一时的得失，不贪图生活上的享受，广交师友，不计较个人的恩怨，这样做了，“虽有淹留”也许一时不成功，“何损于美趣，何患于不济”。学习之中有乐趣，也一定会有用的。怕的是“志不强毅，意不慷慨，徒碌碌滞于俗，默默束于情”。受追求世俗的物质生活和情欲的影响，失去坚强的信心那就会“永窜伏于凡庸，不免于下流矣!”

可见，诸葛亮让子孙生活俭朴，是为了使他们更有出息，其眼光不能不说“超俗”远大!

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.

Then,the oldest monkey hangs on the tree up side down,with his feet on the branch.And he pulls the next monkeys feet with his hands.

All the other monkeys follow his suit.And they join each other one by one down to the moon in the well.

一天，有只小猴子在井边玩儿。

它往井里一瞧，高喊道：“噢!我的天!月亮掉到井里头啦!”

一只大猴子跑来一看，说，“糟啦!月亮掉在井里头啦!”

老猴子也跑过来。他也非常惊奇，喊道：“糟了，月亮掉在井里头了!”

一群猴子跑到井边来。

他们看到井里的月亮，喊道：“月亮掉在井里头啦!快来!让我们把它捞起来!”

然后，老猴子倒挂在大树上，拉住大猴子的脚。

其他的猴子一个个跟着，它们一只连着一只直到井里。

正好他们摸到月亮的时候，老猴子抬头发现月亮挂在天上呢。

它兴奋地大叫：“别蠢了!月亮还好好地挂在天上呢!”

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。

An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer. One day the dog arrogantly1 says: "How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch out for the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…"

"Me? How about me ?" the ox says

"You can only plough or draw a cart," the dog slightly says. "Yes. Its true," the ox says. "But if I dont plough, what do you guard?"

一头牛和一只狗同时为一个农夫工作。狗骄傲地说着：“我是多么重要啊!白天我在牧场看护家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”

“我?我怎么啦?”

牛反问。“你只会犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地说。“是的。你说得没有错，”牛回答道。“但是如果没有我犁地，你看护什么呢?”

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.

有条蛇在一家农舍的门边打了个洞，并把主人的小孩咬了一口，孩子就一命呜呼。

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。

Human growth is a process of experimentation， trial， and error ultimately leading to wisdom。 Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action， you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out。 Sometimes you are victorious， and sometimes you become disillusioned。

The failed experiments， however， are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful； in fact， you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success"。

If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations， you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong—doer。 However， perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame， and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming。 Therefore， forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself。

Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt。 There are four kinds of forgiveness。

The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself。

The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another。

The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself。 This is for serious transgressions， the ones you carry with deep shame when you do soimething that violates your own values and ethics， you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior。 In such a case， you need to work very hard at forgiving youeself for these deeds so that yo call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself。

This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourselfor not feel regret or remorse； but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy， and punishing yourself excessively will only creats a bigger gap between you and your ethics。

The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another。 At some time of our life， you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible。 However， harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victim hood。 Under such a circumstance， you should force yourself to see the bigger picture， by so doing， you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment。

It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory。 when you can finally release the situation， you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth。

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. That‘s why I picked it; here, it‘s for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

Recently, I was moved by a warming news. A boy from America was loved by a

lot of soldiers. The boys father was a policeman and he was sent to a foreign

country to carry the mission. Unluckily, he got shot and died. The world was sad

for him. This man left his wife and a small boy forever. The lucky thing for the

little boy was that his fathers colleagues decided to protect and love this boy

until he grew up. Love has been continued from this story. For most people, they

are lucky to be loved by parents and friends. While for few people, who have

gone through some disasters, they got care from the public. So no matter what

kind of difficulty we will face, we cant give up hope, because there is always

someone love us.

Highly Talented

Tsau Pi and Tsau Jr were sons of Tsau Tsau. Both were very gifted writers, and Tsau Jr was especially quick-witted.

After Tsau Tsaus death, Tsau Pi took over the throne of the kingdom of wei. Jealous of Tsau Jrs literary ability, and afraid that he might cause problems, Tsau Pi was always looking for a way to kill his brother.

One day, Tsau Pi called Tsau Jr into see him.He ordered his brother to make up a poem within the time it took to walk seven steps, adding that if he could not, his life would be in danger.

Greatly saddened, Tsau Jr began to walk and to think. Before he had taken the seven steps, he had already finished his poem, the meaning of which was: "Brothers are of the same family, so why should the oppress each other?"

Tsau Jr was very intelligent and loved to study. He wrote many outstanding articles which showed his artistic talent and earned him the admiration of many people. One scholar said of him: "Heaven gave the world ten decalitres of talent, and Tsau Jr alone has eight of them."

Today, to say that a person "has eight decalitres of talent" is to say that he has a great aptitude for writing.

才高八斗

曹丕与曹植都是曹操的儿子，二者均有才华，特别是曹植更具文采。

在曹操，死后，曹丕继任大统，但他嫉妒曹植的才华，同时也惧怕曹植回谋反，所以一直在伺机杀害曹植。

有一天，曹丕要求接见曹植，他要求曹植在他七步之内作诗一首，如果做不到，就会有生命危险。

悲愤之下，曹植急中生智，作出七步诗，是的意思就是“本来就是亲兄弟，为什么要这样步步紧逼，伤及感情？”

曹植文采俱佳，热爱学习，他曾做过不少才华横溢的文赋，均令世人感叹不已。曾有一位学者说道：“如若天下文采共有十斗，曹植一人独占八斗。”

今天，如果我们说一个人“才高八斗”，就是指他“才华横溢，很有文采”。

One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

一天， 老马让小马驮着半口袋麦子到磨坊去磨面。

小马驮着口袋朝着磨坊跑去。忽然，一天小河挡住了去路，河水哗哗地流着。小马为难了，怎么办呢?它向四周望了望，看见一头老牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛伯伯，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗?”老牛说：“能。谁很浅，刚没小腿。”

小马听了老牛的话，正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河!河水会把你淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就是掉到这条河里淹死的!”小马不知如何是好，决定回家问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”

小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦?”小马说：“让我试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

这则寓言告诉我们:实践出真知。
