用英语讲好中国故事的英语作文(精品20篇)

When autumn came, all the water in the large and small rivers rose higher and flowed into the Yellow River. The surface of the River at once appeared much wider. On one side of the bank, one couldnt see the cattle and sheep on the opposite side. The River deity Hebo was therefore immensely proud and considered himself the greatest in the world.

一到秋天，大河、小河里的水都涨了起来，流入黄河，河面顿时显得非常宽广。在河岸的这边，一眼望不见对岸的牛羊。黄河的河伯因此得意洋洋，自以为是天下最伟大的了。

Hebo followed the Yellow River to the North Sea. Looking to the east, he could not see the bounds of the sea. Then he looked at himself and felt he was so tiny and insignificant. He sighed and said to Hairuo, the deity of the North Sea:

河伯顺着黄河来到了北海，朝东一望，望不见海的尽头;再看看自己才觉得自己很渺小。他叹了口气，对北海之神海若说:

"As the saying goes, a person who has gained a little learning tends to regard himself as the wisest person under the sky. I am just that kind of person. Seeing how broad and great you are today, I have come to realize how insignificant and ignorant I am. If I didnt meet you, Im afraid I would always be laughed at by people with knowledge."

“俗话说得好，有了一点学问，就以为老子天下第一。我就是这种人。今天，我看到你这样宽广、这样伟大，才发觉自己如此渺小、如此无知。如果今天没遇见你，我恐怕永远会被有见识的人所讥笑。”

Hairuo said:

海若说:

"We cannot talk about the sea with a frog at the bottom of a well, for the frog is restricted by its dwelling place; we cannot talk about ice with a small insect of summer, for the insect is restricted by the seasons; we cannot talk about profound learning with superficial persons, for they have too little knowledge. Now you have come out of a small river to the North Sea, seen the greatness of it and realized your own insignificance. Since you have taken such a modest attitude, I can then talk with you about profound learning."

“我们不能同井底的青蛙谈海，是因为青蛙受到住处的限制;不能同夏天的小虫谈冰，是因为小虫受到季节的限制;不能同浅薄的人谈论高深的学问，是因为他们的知识太少。现在，你走出小河，来到北海，看到海的伟大，知道了自己的渺小。有了这种谦虚的态度，我就可以和你谈论高深的学问了。”

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.

楚国有个人在集市上既卖盾又卖矛，为了招徕顾客，使自己的商品尽快出手，他不惜夸大其辞、言过其实地高声炒卖。

他首先举起了手中的盾，向着过往的行人大肆吹嘘：“列位看官，请瞧我手上的这块盾牌，这可是用上好的材料一次锻造而成的好盾呀，质地特别坚固，任凭您用什么锋利的矛也不可能戳穿它！”一番话说得人们纷纷围拢来，仔细观看。

接着，这个楚人又拿起了靠在墙根的矛，更加肆无忌惮地夸口：“诸位豪杰，再请看我手上的这根长矛，它可是经过千锤百炼打制出来的好矛呀，矛头特别锋利，不论您用如何坚固的盾来抵挡，也会被我的矛戳穿！”此番大话一经出口，听的人个个目瞪口呆。

过了一会儿，只见人群中站出来一条汉子，指着那位楚人问道：“你刚才说，你的盾坚固无比，无论什么矛都不能戳穿；而你的矛又是锋利无双，无论什么盾都不可抵挡。那么请问：如果我用你的矛来戳你的盾，结果又将如何？”楚人听了，无言以对，只好涨红着脸，赶紧收拾好他的矛和盾，灰溜溜地逃离了集市。

楚人说话绝对化，前后自相矛盾，不能自圆其说，难免陷入尴尬境地。要知道，戳不破的盾与戳无不破的矛是不可能并存于世的。因此，我们无论做事说话，都要注意留有余地，不要做满说绝走极端。

[白雪公主故事改编英语作文

中国宋庆龄基金会研究中心原常务副主任、宋庆龄故居原主任何大章与我们一同缅怀宋庆龄女士伟大的一生。

宋庆龄为何表明不愿与孙中山合葬?

在谈到宋庆龄为什么没选择安葬在南京紫金山中山陵与孙中山一起合葬的问题时，何大章解释说，宋庆龄曾经讲过，紫金山是为真正伟大的人物服务的。言外之意就是她是一个普通人，是人民的一员。虽然是孙中山的夫人，但她不愿意用这种身份去分享伟人的光辉。所以，她觉得普通人要葬在公墓里。这是宋庆龄为什么不葬在紫金山的一个原因。

另外一个重要原因是宋家有一个约定，就是活着的时候不管有多少矛盾，死了一定要葬在一起。宋庆龄曾经在一封信里写到，记得我家有八穴地，所谓八穴地就是八个墓穴。这八个穴地就是给她的父亲宋耀如、母亲倪珪贞，以及他们的六个子女：宋霭龄、宋庆龄、宋子文、宋美龄、宋子良、宋子安。八个人要葬在一起，这是早就说好了的。

1931年宋庆龄的母亲去世以后，子女就商量给他们的父母建一个合葬墓。因为她父亲早就去世了，所以做合葬墓之前，宋庆龄和她的小弟弟宋子安去给父亲扫最后一次墓。扫墓的时候他们照了一张照片，在照片背面宋庆龄写了八个大字，“树长万代、叶落归根”，就是说要尊重家族的这种约定，渴望家族团圆。

何大章认为，可能还有一个原因，就是宋庆龄对父母有一种内疚。因为她坚持要嫁给孙中山，这件事伤了她父母的心，她是逃出来的。当时她的父亲就病得很重，她肯定心里很难受。可能她想当时使父母伤心了，死后一定要陪他们。

When we ask a foreigner whats his impression about China, then he tell you about the delicious food and Chinese Kongfu. Chinese Kongfu has been a symbol, the first person that make the world recognize China by his Kongfu movie is Bruce Lee. Though he died, he still got a lot of fans today, everybody knows him well. Then Jackie Chen make Chinese Kongfu famous all around the world, his movie is very funny by all kinds of actions. Many Hollywood directors have come to China to seek for cooperation, they want to film the movie that contains Chinese Kongfu. Kongfu is part of our culture and the world is knowing us by it.

当我们问一个外国人对中国的印象是什么,然后他告诉你美味的食物和中国功夫。中国功夫已经成为了一个符号,让世界通过中国功夫去认识中国的第一人是李小龙。虽然他死了,但他至今仍有很多粉丝,所有人都知道他。然后成龙让中国功夫在全世界都出名,他的电影很搞笑,通过各种各样的行动。许多好莱坞导演来中国寻求合作,他们想让电影包含有中国功夫。功夫是我们文化的一部分,世界也通过功夫去认识我们。

非常讲究读书方法。他提倡博采众家，说：“书在手头，不管它是什么，总要拿来翻一下，或者看一遍序目，或者读几页内容。”有拓宽思路，增长知识等好处。对于较难懂的必读书，他的看法是硬着头皮读下去，直到读懂钻透为止。他还提倡在“泛览”的基础上，选择自己喜爱的书深入研究。在研究中，他主张要独立思考，注意观察与实践相结合，用“自己的眼睛去读世间这一部活书”，“使所读的书活起来。”对看不懂的地方，他认为“若是碰到疑问而只看到那个地方，那无论看到多久都不会懂。所以跳过去，再向前进，于是连以前的地方也明白了”。鲁迅十分重视运用“剪报”积累材料。曾说：“无论什么事，如果陆续收集资料，积之十年，总可成一学者。”

In the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), in the State of Qi there was a man who always let his imagination run away with him.

春秋战国时期，杞国有个人喜欢胡思乱想。

One day he even worried that the sky would fall on his head. He was so worried that he could neither eat nor sleep.

一天，他竟然担忧天会塌下来，地会陷下去，自己无处存身。这个人越想越害怕，便整天愁眉苦脸，坐立不安，睡不好觉，吃不下饭。

Later, someone persuade him that his fears were groundless.

后来，有个人就去开导他，那个杞国人听后，才放下了心。

This idioms satirizes those who worry unnecessarily.

成语杞人忧天讥笑那些没有必要或毫无根据的忧虑。

虢（guo）国的国君平日里只爱听好话，听不得反面的意见，在他的身边围满了只会阿谀奉承而不会治国的小人，直至有一天虢国终于亡国。那一群误国之臣也一个个作鸟兽散，没有一个人愿意顾及国君的，虢国的国君总算侥幸地跟着一个车夫逃了出来。

车夫驾着马车，载着虢国国君逃到荒郊野外，国君又渴又饿垂头丧气，车夫赶紧取过车上的食品袋，送上清酒、肉脯和干粮，让国君吃喝。国君感到奇怪，车夫哪来的这些食物呢？于是他在吃饱喝足后，便擦擦嘴问车夫：

“你从哪里弄来这些东西呢？”

车夫回答说：“我事先准备好的。”

国君又问：“你为什么会事先做好这些准备呢？”

车夫回答说：“我是专替大王您做的准备，以便在逃亡的路上好充饥、解渴呀。”

国君不高兴地又问：“你知道我会有逃亡的这一天吗？”

车夫回答说：“是的，我估计迟早会有这一天。”

国君生气了，不满地说：“既然这样，为什么过去不早点告诉我？”

车夫说：“您只喜欢听奉承的话。如果是提意见的话，哪怕再有道理您也不爱听。我要给您提意见，您一定听不进去，说不定还会把我处死。要是那样，您今天便会连一个跟随的人也没有，更不用说谁来给您吃的喝的了。”

国君听到这里，气愤至极，紫涨着脸指着车夫大声吼叫。

车夫见状，知道这个昏君真是无可救药，死到临头还不知悔改。于是连忙谢罪说：“大王息怒，是我说错了。”

两人都不说话，马车走了一程，国君又开口问道：“你说，我到底为什么会亡国而逃呢？”

车夫这次只好改口说：“是因为大王您太仁慈贤明了。”

国君很感兴趣地接着问：“为什么仁慈贤明的国君不能在家享受快乐，过安定的日子，却要逃亡在外呢？”

车夫说：“除了大王您是个贤明的人外，其他所有的国君都不是好人，他们嫉妒您，才造成您逃亡在外的。”

国君听了，心里舒服极了，一边坐靠在车前的横木上，一边美滋滋地自言自语说：“唉，难道贤明的君主就该如此受苦吗？”他头脑里一片昏昏沉沉，十分困乏地枕着车夫的腿睡着了。

这时，车夫总算是彻底看清了这个昏庸无能的虢国的国君，他觉得跟随这个人太不值得。于是车夫慢慢从国君头下抽出自己的腿，换一个石头给他枕上，然后离开国君，头也不回地走了。

最后，这位亡国之君死在了荒郊野外，被野兽吃掉了。

如果一个人只爱听奉承话，听不进批评意见，又一味执迷不悟，一意孤行，那后果将是十分可悲的。

Probably more food is consumed during the New Year celebrations than any other time of the year.

或许春节中食物的消耗比一年中其他时候都要大

Vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.

大量的传统食物被准备给家人和朋友,同样还有逝去的亲近的人

On New Years Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai.

在春节当天,中国家庭将吃一种蔬菜制的名为"jai"(春卷……大概)的食物

Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

尽管春卷里的配料都只是根菜或粗纤维蔬菜，许多人还是把各种迷信方面的事归于它们

Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.

用其他食物，包括一整条鱼，来代表团圆和富饶，或一只鸡来代表兴旺

The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

这只鸡必须要有头有胃还有脚来象征完整。面则不能被切断，因为他们代表了长寿

In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

在南方，最受喜爱和具代表性的食物是用甜糯米捏成的年糕，另一道受欢迎的美食是用芦苇包上糯米作成的粽子。

In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food.

在北方，馒头和小甜饺是首选

The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household

这种时候准备巨量的食品是味了象征家庭的丰饶，富有。

A little panda picks up a pumpkin and wants to take it home. But the pumpkin is too big. The panda cant take it home.

Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike. "I know! I have a good idea." she jumps and shouts happily, "I can roll a pumpkin. Its like a wheel."

So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, "Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?" the little panda answers proudly, "I cant lift it, but I can roll it." Her mother smiled and says, "What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,"

聪明的熊猫

一只小熊猫摘了一只大南瓜，想把它拿回家。但是这只南瓜太大了，她没有办法把这么大的南瓜带回家。

突然她看见一只狗熊骑着一辆自行车朝她这边来。她看着自行车，跳着说：“有了!我有办法了。我可以把南瓜滚回家去。南瓜好像车轮。

于是她把那瓜滚回家。当她妈妈看到这只大南瓜的时候，很惊讶：“天啊!这么食的南瓜!你是怎么把它带回家来的?”小熊猫自豪地说;“我拎不动它，可是我能滚动它啊!”她妈妈微笑着说：“真聪明啊!记住：只要你肯动脑筋，没有难办的事。

宋濂小时侯 喜欢读书，但是家里很穷。也没钱买书，只好向人家借，每次借书，他都讲好期限，按时还书，从不违约，人们都乐意把书借给他。

一次，他借到一本书，越读越爱不释手，便决定把它抄下来。可是还书的期限快到了。他只好连夜抄书。时值隆冬腊月，滴水成冰。他母亲说：“孩子，都半夜了，这么寒冷，天亮再朝抄吧。人家又不是等这书看。”宋濂说：“不管人家等不等这本看，到期限就要还，这是个信用问题，也是尊重别人的表现。如果说话做事不讲信用，失信于人，怎么可能得到别人的尊重。”

又一次，宋濂要去远方向一位著名者请教，并约好见面日期，谁知出发那天下起鹅毛雪。当宋濂挑起行李准备上路时，母亲惊讶地说：“这样的天气怎能出远门呀?再说，老师那里早已大雪封山了。你这一件旧棉袄，也抵御不住深山的严寒啊!”宋濂说：“娘，今不出发就会误会了拜师的日子，这就失约了;失约，就是对老师不尊重啊。风雪再大，我都得上路。”

当宋濂到达老师家里时，老师感到地称赞说道：“年轻人，守信好学，将来必有出息!”

一、莫言自述

我记忆中最早的一件事，是提着家里唯一的一把热水瓶去公共食堂打开水。因为饥饿无力，失手将热水瓶打碎，我吓得要命，钻进草垛，一天没敢出来。傍晚的时候，我听到母亲呼唤我的乳名。我从草垛里钻出来，以为会受到打骂，但母亲没有打我也没有骂我，只是抚摸着我的头，口中发出长长的叹息。

我记忆中最痛苦的一件事，就是跟随着母亲去集体的地里捡麦穗，看守麦田的人来了，捡麦穗的人纷纷逃跑，我母亲是小脚，跑不快，被捉住，那个身材高大的看守人搧了她一个耳光。她摇晃着身体跌倒在地。看守人没收了我们捡到的麦穗，吹着口哨扬长而去。我母亲嘴角流血，坐在地上，脸上那种绝望的神情让我终生难忘。多年之后，当那个看守麦田的人成为一个白发苍苍的老人，在集市上与我相逢，我冲上去想找他报仇，母亲拉住了我，平静地对我说：“儿子，那个打我的人，与这个老人，并不是一个人。”现代名人小故事大全精选

我记得最深刻的一件事是一个中秋节的中午，我们家难得地包了一顿饺子，每人只有一碗。正当我们吃饺子的时候，一个乞讨的老人，来到了我们家门口。我端起半碗红薯干打发他，他却愤愤不平地说：“我是一个老人，你们吃饺子，却让我吃红薯干，你们的心是怎么长的？”我气急败坏地说：“我们一年也吃不了几次饺子，一人一小碗，连半饱都吃不了；给你红薯干就不错了，你要就要，不要就滚！”母亲训斥了我，然后端起她那半碗饺子，倒进老人碗里。

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.

有一位客人到主人家做客，见主人家炉灶烟囱砌得太直，旁边又堆着不少柴草，便劝告主人说：“这太危险了，应把烟囱改成弯曲的，把柴草搬到安全的地方，不然，有可能引起火灾。”主人听了默不作声。

不久，主人家果然因烟囱溅火星失火了，幸亏周围的邻居赶来奋力抢救，才扑灭了大火。主人为了酬谢大家，杀牛备酒。酒席上，主人请那些救火时被烧得焦头烂额的人坐上座，其余的人按出力大小安排了座次，而那个劝告主人改烟囱搬柴草的人却没有受到邀请。

开席前，有位邻居对主人说：“假若当初你听了那位客人的话，就不会遭此火灾，也用不着破费办酒席酬谢大家了。现在，你论功请赏，那些被烧得焦头烂额的人都应该作上宾，那位劝你防火的客人难道不也该请来作上宾吗？”

主人听了此话方才醒悟，赶忙去恭请那位客人。

——选译自《汉书·霍光传》

他是一个平凡的维吾尔族汉子，外出务工，以卖烤羊肉串为生。然而，近十年的时间里，他却用辛苦积攒下的10多万元，资助了上百名贫困学生。这个汉子，就是来自新疆的“草根慈善家”——阿里木。

阿里木是一个身材壮实的新疆汉子，生活十分简朴，20元的土布褂子，8元的布鞋，他一穿就是好几年。他喜欢吃水果，为了省钱，却总是挑快烂了的买，削掉坏的再吃。阿里木的饭食也是简单到不能再简单，经常是一个馕（或两个馒头）外加一杯水就能打发。

这样的生活，阿里木却过得很满足。有人对他的行为表示很不理解，阿里木反问：“有很多钱快乐吗？我不觉得！我现在就是一个很快乐的人。把钱花在最需要的地方，才是物有所值。”

卖烤羊肉串的阿里木

“我读书不多，只会烤羊肉串，绝不能让那些贫困的孩子们和我一样。”

阿里木出生在新疆和静县的一个贫困家庭里，父亲是供销社职工，一家9口，全靠父亲一个人的工资维持生活。读到高二时，家里实在供不下去了，懂事的阿里木选择了辍学参军。

长大后，历经生活艰辛的阿里木十分尊重文化教育，他的心里存有一个朴素的信念：只有教育才能改变人的命运。他起早贪黑、省吃俭用，省下的钱全部用作慈善。

据当地报纸不完全统计，10年来，阿里木卖烤羊肉30多万串，利润10多万元，其中近八成捐给了贫困家庭的孩子。受他捐助的200多名孩子中，有10个孩子考上了大学。

阿里木和他资助的学生

“我喜欢卖羊肉串，我会继续卖我的羊肉串，去帮助更多的孩子上学。”

如今，阿里木已经当上了“阿里木餐饮印象有限责任公司”的总经理。他开始谋划，要帮助家乡的年轻人创业、安家，让正宗的新疆羊肉串香飘内地。他琢磨着，用10年时间，在他生活的贵州毕节市建一所学校，让那里的留守儿童接受好的教育。

公元前538年的一天，孔子对弟子南宫敬叔说：“周之守藏室史老聃，博古通今，知礼乐之源，明道德之要，

中国古代哲理小故事

。今吾欲去周求教，汝愿同去否?”南宫敬叔欣然同意，随即报请鲁君。鲁君准行。遣一车二马一童一御，由南宫敬叔陪孔子前往。老子见孔丘(孔子，名丘，字仲尼，生于鲁国。)千里迢迢而来，非常高兴，教授之后，又引孔丘访大夫苌弘。苌弘善乐，授孔丘乐律、乐理;引孔丘观祭神之典，考宣教之地，察庙会礼仪，使孔丘感叹不已，获益不浅。逗留数日。孔丘向老子辞行。老子送至馆舍之外，赠言道：“吾闻之，富贵者送人以财，仁义者送人以言。吾不富不贵，无财以送汝;愿以数言相送。当今之世，聪明而深察者，其所以遇难而几至於死，在於好讥人之非也;善辩而通达者，其所以招祸而屡至於身，在於好扬人之恶也。为人之子，勿以己为高;为人之臣，勿以己为上，望汝切记。”孔丘顿首道：“弟子一定谨记在心!”

行至黄河之滨，见河水滔滔，浊浪翻滚，其势如万马奔腾，其声如虎吼雷鸣。孔丘伫立岸边，不觉叹曰：“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜!黄河之水奔腾不息，人之年华流逝不止，河水不知何处去，人生不知何处归?”闻孔丘此语，老子道：“人生天地之间，乃与天地一体也。天地，自然之物也;人生，亦自然之物;人有幼、少、壮、老之变化，犹如天地有春、夏、秋、冬之交替，有何悲乎?生於自然，死於自然，任其自然，则本性不乱;不任自然，奔忙於仁义之间，则本性羁绊。功名存於心，则焦虑之情生;利欲留於心，则烦恼之情增。”

孔丘解释道：“吾乃忧大道不行，仁义不施，战乱不止，国乱不治也，故有人生短暂，不能有功于世、不能有为于民之感叹矣 ”

老子道：“天地无人推而自行，日月无人燃而自明，星辰无人列而自序，禽兽无人造而自生，此乃自然为之也，何劳人为乎?人之所以生、所以无、所以荣、所以辱，皆有自然之理、自然之道也。顺自然之理而趋，遵自然之道而行，国则自治，人则自正，何须津津于礼乐而倡仁义哉?津津于礼乐而倡仁义，则违人之本性远矣!犹如人击鼓寻求逃跑之人，击之愈响，则人逃跑得愈远矣!”

稍停片刻，老子手指浩浩黄河，对孔丘说：“汝何不学水之大德欤?”孔丘曰：“水有何德?”老子说：“上善若水：水善利万物而不争，处众人之所恶，此乃谦下之德也;故江海所以能为百谷王者，以其善下之，则能为百谷王。天下莫柔弱於水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜，此乃柔德也;故柔之胜刚，弱之胜强坚。因其无有，故能入于无间，由此可知不言之教、无为之益也。”

孔丘闻言，恍然大悟道：“先生此言，使我顿开茅塞也：众人处上，水独处下;众人处易，水独处险;众人处洁，水独处秽。所处尽人之所恶，夫谁与之争乎?此所以为上善也。”

老子点头说：“汝可教也!汝可切记：与世无争，则天下无人能与之争，此乃效法水德也。水几於道：道无所不在，水无所不利，避高趋下，未尝有所逆，善处地也;空处湛静，深不可测。善为渊也;损而不竭，施不求报，善为仁也;圜必旋，方必折，塞必止，决必流，善守信也;洗涤群秽，平准高下，善治物也;以载则浮，以鉴则清，以攻则坚强莫能敌，善用能也;不舍昼夜，盈科后进，善待时也。故圣者随时而行，贤者应事而变;智者无为而治，达者顺天而生。汝此去后，应去骄气于言表，除志欲于容貌。否则，人未至而声已闻，体未至而风已动，张张扬扬，如虎行于大街，谁敢用你?”

孔丘道：“先生之言，出自肺腑而入弟子之心脾，弟子受益匪浅，终生难忘。弟子将遵奉不怠，以谢先生之恩。”说完，告别老子，与南宫敬叔上车，依依不舍地向鲁国驶去。

回到鲁国，众弟子问道：“先生拜访老子，可得见乎?”孔子道：“见之!”弟子问，

老子何样?”孔子道：“鸟，我知它能飞;鱼，吾知它能游;兽，我知它能走。走者可用网缚之，游者可用钩钓之，飞者可用箭取之，至于龙，吾不知其何以?龙乘风云而上九天也!吾所见老子也，其犹龙乎?学识渊深而莫测，志趣高邈而难知;如蛇之随时屈伸，如龙之应时变化。老聃，真吾师也!”

不争名利，关注自身;保持沉静，不受影响;愿意施与，不求目的;当断就断，顺势而为;自身发光，善于影响;认清优势，善于应用;时不赋我，静待时机。我等俗人，只能先参考水的品德修行自身，要达到自然的境界似乎还很远。

篇一

The Chinese manners is differend from other countries .In China,people first meet to shake hands.When people eat,Besides soup,table all food use chopsticks.Certain foods can move chopsticks eyes.And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate.This is a sign of politeness.The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is.If you feel uncomfortable with this,you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls,so this is not polite.Also,when the food is coming too slow in a restarant,people will tap their bowls.If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

翻译：

中国的礼仪是不同于来自其他国家。在中国,人们第一次见面握手。当人们吃,除了汤之外,表所有食品都使用筷子。某些食物可以移动筷子的眼睛。有时中国主人用筷子把食物在你的碗或盘子。这是礼貌的标志。适当的做法是吃不管它是什么,说它有多美味。如果你觉得不舒服,你可以说一个礼貌的谢谢你,离开那里的食物。

不要用筷子敲打饭碗。乞丐行乞时常敲打饭碗,所以,这也是不礼貌的。同样,当食物来了太慢,人们会利用他们的碗。如果你在某人的家里,它就像侮辱厨师。

篇二

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty,the area we now know as China had fallen into a state of fragmentation and conflict.While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for several centuries,several other states,originally feudal domains,tried to carve out their own kingdoms.The state of Qin would eventually emerge the victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history.

Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor.A wise and articulate man,he was loved by the common people.He did much to fight against the rampant corruption that plagued the court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other officials.Therefore,when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin Kingdom,the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service.In exile,he traveled,taught and wrote for several years.Hearing that the Zhou had been defeated by the Qin,he fell into despair and threw himself into the Milou River.His last poem reads:

Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair,Grieving that I was born in such an unlucky time.I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot,And waited for the wind to come,to sour up on my journey As he was so loved by the people,fishermen rushed out in long boats,beating drums to scare the fish away,and throwing zong zi into the water to feed braver fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuans body.

周朝的末尾,我们现在知道,中国陷入了分裂和冲突的状态。而周朝统治了几个世纪,其他几个州,最初封建领域,试图开拓自己的王国。秦国最终将出现一个规则下的维克多和统一全中国的历史上第一次。

屈原担任部长周皇帝。一个明智的和表达的人,他深受百姓爱戴。他做了很多打击猖獗的腐败困扰法院——从而获得其他官员的嫉妒和恐惧。因此,当他敦促皇帝为了避免冲突与秦王国,官员们迫使皇帝让他从服务中移除。流亡,他旅行,教了好几年。听力,周秦被击败,他陷入了绝望和扑进Milou河。他最后的诗中写道:

许多沉重的叹息我绝望,悲伤,我出生在这样一个不幸的时间。我配合的一组玉龙凤凰战车,并等待着风,酸在我的旅程,他是如此深受人们的喜爱,渔民在长船冲出来,敲锣打鼓吓跑鱼,把粽子投入水喂勇敢的鱼,这样他们不会吃屈原的尸体。

在比赛中捧回的一个又一个奖杯，大大增加了苏炳添的自信心，也让他更执著于短跑这条道路。

但是，教练说苏炳并添没有短跑运动员的天赋。

他个子只有172cm，短跑运动员最佳身高是180cm—195cm，当年中国另一飞人刘翔身高在189cm，短跑项目中，个子矮要失去许多先天优势。

再加上我国短跑事业相比其它国家而言，起步要晚一些，选择短跑作为终身事业的运动员少之又少，国际短跑赛事上我们从来没有进入过决赛。

年轻气盛的苏炳添偏偏不信这个邪，他暗暗下定决心，一定要在短跑运动上创造出奇迹，让外国人看看我们的实力。

为了这个理想，苏炳添想去专业的体校进行学习和训练，但他去了几家体校，都因为他个子矮、年龄大被婉拒，现实将他打回原型。

刘翔从七岁就开始进行专业训练，而想入体校的苏炳添，这时已经15岁了。

眼看苏炳添的田径之路就要画上句号，这时候他人生中的伯乐出现了。

中山体校教练宁德宝看中苏炳添的身体素质和爆发力，想把他收为麾下弟子。

宁教练费了好大劲才说服体校的领导，破格把苏炳添招进来，然而，训练刚刚开始不到半月，苏炳添就吵着要回家。

中学时的训练和现在专业体校的训练相比，从运动量、技术上都简单很多。

体校要求学生6点就要起床开始训练，一上午的高强度练习，在中午短暂午休后，下午还要接着练，苏炳添被体校辛苦的训练吓住了，他不想跑步了。

他叫来父母想要退学，父母也不忍他受苦，便要把他带回家，宁教练实在舍不得这个好苗子，苦口婆心地劝说苏炳添和他的家人。

苏炳添的父母亲虽然没有文化，但从宁教练的态度上，他们觉得是真心为孩子好，于是妈妈许诺给苏炳添100元零花钱，把他留在宁教练身边。

从此，苏炳添如开挂般，正式开启了属于他的“飞人时代”。
