用英语讲好中国故事的英语作文(汇编20篇)

The bulging belly fox

A hungry Fox found in a hollow tree a quantity of bread and meat, which some shepherds had placed there against their return. Delighted with his find he slipped in through the narrow aperture and greedily devoured it all. But when he tried to get out again he found himself so swollen after his big meal that he could not squeeze through the hole, and fell to whining and groaning over his misfortune. Another Fox, happening to pass that way, came and asked him what the matter was; and, on learning the state of the case, said, “Well, my friend, I see nothing for it but for you to stay where you are till you shrink to your former size; you’ll get out then easily enough.”

胀肚的狐狸

饥饿的狐狸在一棵中空的树干中发现了一些牧羊人存留的面包和肉。高兴之余，他立即通过那狭窄的缝隙挤进去，贪婪的大吃起来。然而，当他吃饱之后，却发现自己的肚子胀鼓鼓的，即便费了九牛二虎之力，却怎么也钻不出那个洞来，便在树洞里唉声叹气。另一只狐狸恰巧经过那里，听到他的呻吟，便过去问他原因。听明白缘由后，那只狐狸便说道：“我的朋友，你就老老实实待在里边吧，等到恢复了钻进去之前的身材，你就能轻松地出来了。”

四兄弟在后花园移植了一株罕见的黑牡丹树，他们视之为珍宝，决定由四兄弟共同管理，每人轮流一天。为了能使黑牡丹树更地好成长早些开花，四兄弟都殷勤看护尽职尽责。

首先由老大看管。他整日里围着黑牡丹树团团转，一遍又一遍地为黑牡丹树松土锄草拣去杂物，工作细致极了，一天下来累得满头大汗。

第二天轮到老二，他一见提出了异议：“哪有这样松土锄草的，不小心把根部锄坏咋办?再说了，这几天高温闷热，气候干燥水份蒸发快，应多浇水才对呀。”说罢忙去挑来水把黑牡丹树给灌了个够呛。

第三天刚破晓老三就出现在后花园，见到老二给树灌水马上提出反对意见：“唉呀呀，看你都做了些什么事情，哪有光浇水树能长大的道理?应当多上肥料才正确嘛。”话一落音就急匆匆地挑来一担农家肥一古脑儿给全施了下去。

第四天一早老四接踵而至，他胸有成竹地对众兄弟说：“你们都太缺少经验了，要使花开得艳丽整枝是关键。呶，底部多余的叶子没用，养料全被它们抢走了!”说完不管七三二十一，操起剪子把叶子几乎全给剪光。

四兄弟各抒已见个个手忙脚乱。尽管他们满心期望着黑牡丹树早些开花，但事与愿违，不争气的黑牡丹花终于没有开成，几天以后，黑牡丹树就渐渐枯萎，不久就完全失去了生命力。

——请外行人来办事无异于瞎折腾，最终难免要把事情办糟的。

寓言，就是把一些难以理解的寓意写成一个个故事，让人么去读懂。中国古代寓言故事收集了许多寓言，让大家只要读一本书，就可以明白许多道理。

整本书中，讲的最多的就是要团结友爱，互帮互助。如《守纪律的海鸟》这篇文章，里面讲了一种海鸟，这种海鸟很傻，还很笨拙，但他们重视一群一群活动，很守纪律，一起飞，一起睡，就连吃东西也一起吃，从不争先，所以，没人敢伤害它们，可见，团结友爱多么重要啊。

此外，这本书还用《画蛇添足》告诉我们：不要把事干过头。用《亡羊补牢》让我们明白，做错了事，与其后悔，不如加以改正，做得更好……

这本书里还有许多故事，许多寓言，这都是古人智慧结晶，让我们去好好读一读吧！

Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.

It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."

一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去，将它从梦中吵醒。狮子生气地跳起来，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：「只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命，我将来一定会报答你的大恩。」狮子便笑着放了它。

后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了它，并大声说：「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。」

众所周知，中国是世界上四大文明古国之一。事实上，它的历史远比我们所知道的要长久。因为它的长久性，在中国很多地方你可以发现古代建筑和历史书籍。在中国你找一个人要比你在其他任何国家找人都容易，也就是说，中国是世界上人口最多的国家。可是这个状况也给咱们国家带来了很大的负担。

In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.

1882年，一名女婴因高发烧差点丧命。她虽幸免于难，但发烧给她留下了后遗症 她再也看不见、听不见。因为听不见，她想讲话也变得很困难。

So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?

那么这样一个在19个月时就既盲又聋的孩子，是如何成长为享誉世界的作家和演说家的呢？

The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.

高烧将她与外界隔开，使她失去了视力和声音。她仿佛置身在黑暗的牢笼中无法摆脱。

Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.

万幸的是海伦并不是个轻易认输的人。不久她就开始利用其它的感官来探查这个世界了。她跟着母亲，拉着母亲的衣角，形影不离。她去触摸，去嗅各种她碰到的物品。她模仿别人的动作且很快就能自己做一些事情，例如挤牛奶或揉面。她甚至学会*摸别人的脸或衣服来识别对方。她还能*闻不同的植物和触摸地面来辨别自己在花园的位置。

By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.

七岁的时候她发明了60多种不同的手势，*此得以和家里人交流。比如她若想要面包，就会做出切面包和涂黄油的动作。想要冰淇淋时她会用手裹住自己装出发抖的样子。

Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.

海伦在这方面非比一般，她绝顶的聪明又相当敏感。通过努力她对这个陌生且迷惑的世界有了一些知识。但她仍有一些有足。

At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.   海伦五岁时开始意识到她与别人不同。她发现家里的其他人不用象她那样做手势而是用嘴交谈。有时她站在两人中间触摸他们的嘴唇。她不知道他们在说什么，而她自己不能发出带有含义的声音。她想讲话，可无论费多大的劲儿也无法使别人明白自己。这使她异常懊恼以至于常常在屋子里乱跑乱撞，灰心地又踢又喊。

As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly . If she didnt get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favourite tricks included grabbing other peoples food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor Anne Sullivan.

随着年龄的增长她的怒气越为越大。她变得狂野不驯。倘若她得不到想要的东西就会大发脾气直到家人顺从。她惯用的手段包括抓别人盘里的食物以及将易碎的东西猛扔在地。有一次她甚至将母亲锁在厨房里。这样一来就得想个办法了。于是，在她快到七岁生日时，家里便雇了一名家庭教师 安尼沙利文。

Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read peoples lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

安尼悉心地教授海伦，特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布莱叶盲文朗读和写作。*用手指接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动，她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马，是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话，这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honours from Radcliffe College in 1904. She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory, as well as a dogged determination to succeed. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

海伦证明了自己是个出色的学者，1904年她以优异的成绩从拉德克利夫学院毕业。她有惊人的注意力和记忆力，同时她还具有不达目的誓不罢休的毅力。上大学时她就写了《我的生命》。这使她取得了巨大的成功从而有能力为自己购买一套住房。

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honours from foreign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

她周游全国，不断地举行讲座。她的事迹为许多人著书立说而且还上演了关于她的生平的戏剧和电影。最终她声名显赫，应邀出国并受到外国大学和国王授予的荣誉。1932年，她成为英国皇家国立盲人学院的副校长。

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.

1968年她去世后，一个以她的名字命名的组织建立起来，该组织旨在与发展中国家存在的失明缺陷做斗争。如今这所机构，“国际海伦凯勒”，是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。

Table Manners

The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.

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.

Eating No-nos

Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!

Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.

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.

Sam is a little fish. He lives in the sea. He is very lonely. He wants to have a friend. The friend looks like him. Sam sees an ink fish. The ink fish has eight legs. He doesn’t look like Sam. So Sam goes away.

Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly.

Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him. “Hello! Would you like to be my friend?”

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.

China is the biggest family with 56 ethnic groups. Among them, the Han

Chinese is the largest and the most highly developed group. The Han Chinese can

be found in many parts of China. They mainly live in the north plain region, the

middle and the lower reaches of Yangze River and Pearl River Deltas. The other

55 groups are the minority ethnic groups. They are distributed in the

mountainous areas of southwest and northwest of China.

Being too far away from big cities, the minority ethnic groups are poor in

economy and there people are not well-educated. They have very few

understandings of science and technology. So they must develop their

economy.

To help the people of the minority ethnic groups live better, the

government should take some effective measures. For one thing, more and more

knowledgeable undergraduates should be encouraged to those poor areas to help

the people there to get rid of their poverty. For another, the advanced science

and technology must be introduced into the minority ethnic groups to improve

their living conditions. More importantly, people of the minority ethnic groups

should be given equal opportunities to study and work. Only so will China be

more prosperous in the future.

A Bite of China, a mouth-watering late-night documentary television series featuring delicious Chinese food, has attracted countless viewers, and moved many to tears.

Given its subject matter and time slot, A Bite of China was initially considered a "weak player" on TV. Surprisingly, the documentary became popular immediately after airing, and has made viewers go beyond thinking about delicacies.

"Man is what he eats," said Ludwig Feuerbach. From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food. "The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots, hanging hams, catching fish using a net, opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns, and pulling wheat dough into thin strands for noodles move us to tears. What a lovely China!" a viewer said.

Chinese food is famous all over the world, if you ask a foreigner how about Chinese food, they will be full of praise。

中国的美食在全世界都是出名的，一提到中国食物，他们都会赞不绝口。

When we see the movie, Chinese food is praised by the people. Recently, there is a famous movie called A Bite of China, the movie is popular, it introduces Chinese food from different places. The audience is attracted by the delicious food, they never thought Chinese food would be so various. Now the second part of the movie has been made out, more and more Chinese traditional food has been introduced. After appreciating the movie, I begin to learn more about Chinese food, I want to have taste of them. I am so proud of our food, when we talk about it to foreign friends, we can feel their favor of our food. The food is part of our culture, they should be inherited.

当我们看到电影时，中国的食物广泛受到人们的赞扬。最近，有一部很出名的电影叫《舌尖上的中国》，电影很受欢迎，介绍了来自中国不同地方的食物。观众受到了这些美味的食物吸引，他们从来没想到中国的食物可以有这么多的种类。现在电影的第二部分也已经上映，介绍了越来越多的中国传统美食。欣赏了电影以后，我开始学着了解更多中国的美食，我想要尝一尝。我为我们国家的食物感到自豪，当我们和外国朋友讨论中国食物时，我们能感觉到他们对我们食物的喜爱。这些食物是我们文化的一部分，应该要传承下来。

春节，本是万家团圆，举国欢庆的日子。可是2020年的春节，却被一场在湖北武汉爆发的新型冠状病毒引发的肺炎打破了欢乐喜庆的氛围，面对来势汹汹的疫情，全国人民响应政府号召：春节尽量不串门，在家里也能为国家做贡献。

我每天在家里学习之余听爸爸妈妈的交谈，从电视和微信上，铺天盖地的抗战疫情的新闻报道，了解到全国上下有千千万万的人，在默默无闻地冲在抗战疫情的第一线，特别是我们的“白衣天使”他们舍小家顾大家，在我们宅家里躲避疫情的时候，他们却舍弃与家人团聚，毫不畏惧地去最危险的疫情第一线与凶猛的病魔作斗争。让我最震撼的是在昨天的都市快报上报道，今年已经73岁高龄的李兰娟院士，决定带上她的医疗团队第二次驰援武汉。妈妈还告诉我李兰娟奶奶是传染病学术方面的，在2003年非典时期，她也是冲在疫情第一线与病魔斗争，并做出了杰出的贡献，是我们杭州的骄傲。

这次新型冠状病毒肺炎爆发，李兰娟奶奶就舟车劳顿辗转各地考察疫情，不辞辛苦地投身到抗战疫情的斗争中，她这种无私奉献舍身取义的精神让我震撼不已。正是因为中国有很多像李兰娟院士这样的英勇无畏的逆行者，用他们的危险换得我们的安心，我坚信在不久的将来我们一定能战胜可恶的病毒，勇士终将凯旋归来。而我们做为新时代的接班人，虽然抗战疫情期间我们不能奔赴抗战一线，但是我们可以做的就是：不出去给那些不分昼夜与病魔作斗争的医护人员添乱，乖乖在家认真学习，积极锻炼身体，不去人群密集处，出门戴好口罩，讲卫生勤洗手。待到春暖花开时，就是打败可恶病毒之时，人人都可以安心快乐地工作学习和生活。

毛遂自荐

毛遂在平原君门下已经三年了，一直默默无闻，总得不到施展才能的机会。

一次，碰上秦国大举进攻赵国，秦军将赵国都城邯郸团团围住，情况十分危急，赵王只好派平原君赶紧出使楚国，向楚国求救。

平原君到楚国去之前，召集他所有的门客商议，决定从这千余名门客中挑选出20名能文善武足智多谋的人随同前往。他们挑来挑去最终只有19人合乎条件，还差一人却怎么挑也总觉得不满意。

这时，只见毛遂主动站了出来说：“我愿随平原君前往楚国，哪怕是凑个数！”

平原君一看，是平常不曾注意的毛遂，便不大以为然，只是婉转地说：“你到我门下已经三年了，却从未听到有人在我面前称赞过你，可见你并无什么过人之处。一个有才能的人在世上，就好像锥子装在口袋里，锥尖子很快就会穿破口袋钻出来，人们很快就能发现他。而你一直未能出头露面显示你的本事，我怎么能够带上没有本事的人同我去楚国行使如此重大的使命呢？”

毛遂并不生气，他心平气和地据理力争说：“您说的并不全对。我之所以没有像锥子从口袋里钻出锥尖，是因为我从来就没有像锥子一样放进您的口袋里呀。如果早就将我这把锥子放进口袋，我敢说，我不仅是锥尖子钻出口袋的问题，我会连整个锥子都像麦穗子一样全部露出来。”

平原君觉得毛遂说得很有道理且气度不凡，便答应毛遂作为自己的随从，连夜赶往楚国。

一到楚国，已是早晨。平原君立即拜见楚王，跟他商讨出兵救赵的事情。可是这次商谈很不顺利，从早上一直谈到了中午，还没有一丝进展。面对这种情况，随同前往的20个人中便有19个只知道干着急，在台下直跺脚、摇头、埋怨。唯有毛遂，眼看时间不等人，机会不可错过，只见他一手提剑，大踏步跨到台上，面对盛气凌人的楚王，毛遂毫不胆怯。他两眼逼视着楚王，慷慨陈词，申明大义，他从赵楚两国的关系谈到这次救援赵国的意义，对楚王晓之以理动之以情。他的凛然正气使楚王惊叹佩服；他对两国利害关系的分析深深打动了楚王的心。通过毛遂的劝说，楚王终于被说服了，当天下午便与平原君缔结盟约。很快，楚王派军队支援赵国，赵国于是解围。

事后，平原君深感愧疚地说：“毛遂原来真是了不起的人啊！他的三寸不烂之舌，真抵得过百万大军呀！可是以前我竟没发现他。若不是毛先生挺身而出，我可要埋没一个人才呢！”

毛遂自荐的故事告诉我们，不要总是等着别人去推荐，只要有才干，不妨自己主动站出来，做出自己应有的贡献。

The Chinese sport shooter I like best is Wang Yifu who was in terms of Olympic medals one of the most successful sport shooters of all times. He specializes in the 50 m Pistol and 10 m Air Pistol events.

Wang won his first Olympic medal in the Los Angeles games at the age of 23. After this, the Air Pistol event was added to the program, and this is where he has achieved his greatest accomplishments. He won the 1992 gold medal only days after a new medal in the 50 m event. His three attempts to repeat the victory have provided impressive results and very tight duels:

In the 2004 competition, Wang scored 590 once more, but lost the Olympic record to Mikhail Nestruev who achieved 591. However, Wang Yifu chased quickly and eventually won by a margin of 0.2 points to get his second Olympic gold.

I like Wang Yifu, and I also like his great sprite.

【参考译文】

我最喜欢的中国射击运动员是王义夫，他是奥运奖牌中最成功的运动员之一。他专门从事50米手枪和10米气手枪事件。

王23岁时在洛杉矶奥运会上获得了第一枚奥运会奖牌。在此之后，空气手枪事件被添加到程序，这是他实现了他最大的成就。他赢得了1992枚金牌只有几天后，新的奖章在50米的事件。他三次重复的胜利提供了令人印象深刻的结果和很紧的决斗：

在2004场比赛中，王打进了590次，但失去的奥运会记录米哈伊尔·内斯特鲁耶夫的人达到591。然而，王义夫迅速追赶，最终以0.2分的优势赢得了第二枚奥运金牌。

我是王力可，我也喜欢他的大妖精。

One day,a little monkey is playing by the well.

He looks in the well and shouts,“Oh!My god!The moon has fallen into the well!”

An older monkeys runs over, takes a look,and says,“Goodness me!The moon is really in the water!”

And olderly monkey comes over.He is very surprised as well and cries out,“The moon is in the well.”

A group of monkeys run over to the well.

They look at the moon in the well and shout:“The moon did fall into the well!Come on!Letget it out!”

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.

Just before they reach the moon,the oldest monkey raises his head and happens to see the moon in the sky.

He yells excitedly “Dont be so foolish!The moon is still in the sky!”

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!”

庖丁给梁惠王宰牛。手接触的地方，肩膀倚靠的地方，脚踩的地方，膝盖顶的地方，哗哗作响，进刀时豁豁地，没有不合音律的：合乎《桑林》舞乐的节拍，又合乎《经首》乐曲的节奏。

梁惠王说：“嘻，好啊！你解牛的技术怎么竟会高超到这种程度啊？”

庖丁放下刀回答说：“我追求的，是道，已经超过一般的技术了。起初我宰牛的时候，眼里看到的是一只完整的牛；三年以后，再未见过完整的牛了。

现在，我凭精神和牛接触，而不用眼睛去看，感官停止了而精神在活动。依照牛的生理上的天然结构，砍入牛体筋骨相接的缝隙，顺着骨节间的空处进刀，依照牛体本来的构造，筋脉经络相连的地方和筋骨结合的地方，尚且不曾拿刀碰到过，更何况大骨呢！

技术好的厨师每年更换一把刀，是用刀割断筋肉割坏的；技术一般的厨师每月就得更换一把刀，是砍断骨头而将刀砍坏的。如今，我的刀用了十九年，所宰的牛有几千头了，但刀刃锋利得就像刚在磨刀石上磨好的一样。

那牛的骨节有间隙，而刀刃很薄；用很薄的刀刃插入有空隙的骨节，宽宽绰绰地，那么刀刃的运转必然是有余地的啊！因此，十九年来，刀刃还像刚从磨刀石上磨出来的一样。

虽然是这样，每当碰到筋骨交错聚结的地方，我看到那里很难下刀，就小心翼翼地提高警惕，视力集中到一点，动作缓慢下来，动起刀来非常轻，豁啦一声，牛的骨和肉一下子就解开了，就像泥土散落在地上一样。

我提着刀站立起来，为此举目四望，为此悠然自得，心满意足，然后把刀擦抹干净，收藏起来。”

梁惠王说：“好啊！我听了庖丁的这番话，懂得了养生的道理了。”

解析：庖丁解牛能够做到一刀下去，刀刀到位，是因为掌握了它的肌理。牛与牛当然各不相同，但不管是什么牛，它们的肌理都是一致的；每个人的生活也各有各的面貌，其基本原理也是近似的。

做事应处处小心，还要保持着一种谨慎小心的态度，收敛锋芒，并且在懂得利用规律，顺其自然的同时，更要去反复实践，像庖丁“所解数千牛矣”一样，不停地重复，终究会悟出事物的真理所在。

Zhuang Zhous family was poor. Once, he went to the official who supervised rivers to borrow some grain. The official said:

庄周家境贫穷。一次，他去监河侯那里借粮食，监河侯说:

"Well, wait until the end of the year when I collect the taxes from the people, then I will lend you 300 gold pieces. All right?

“好吧!等到年底，我收到了老百姓的税金时，就借给你三百金，行吗?”

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he was so angry that the colow of his face changed. But he told the official this story:

庄周一听，气得脸色都变了，但是他却对监河侯讲了这样一件事情:

"When I came here yesterday, on the way I heard a voice calling `Help! I turned my head and saw a small crucian carp in the dried-up carriage ditch.

“我昨天来时，半路上听到‘救命’的呼喊声。我回过头来，看见干涸的车沟里有条小螂鱼。

I went over and asked: `Little crucian carp, why are you calling for help?

我走过去，问它:‘小娜鱼，你为什么喊救命?’

The little crucian carp answered: `I am a subject of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Unfortunately I fell down here. Can you give me a little water to save my life?

小鲤鱼回答说:‘我是东海龙王的臣子，不幸落到这里。您能够给我一些水来救我活命吗?’

I said: `All right, I am just going to the south to sell ideas to the kings of the States of Wu and Yue. I will ask them to stir up the water of the Xijiang River to welcome you. Will that do?

我说:‘好吧!我正好要去南方游说吴国和越国的国王，那我就请他们激起西江的大水来迎接您，可以吗?’

When the crucian carp heard this, it got angry and said:

卿鱼听了，气得不得了，说:

`When I lose the water which is always with me, I cannot survive. Now, I want only a little bit of water so that I can survive.Yet you say such things. Then youd better go to the salt-fish shop to look for me. "

“我失去了常跟我在一起的水，就无法生存下去了。现在，我只要得到一些水，就能够生存下去;你却说出这样的话。好吧，你不如趁早到咸鱼店里去找我吧!”

中国科举史上，曾经涌现了数以百万计的举人和十多万名进士，而作为这个庞大知识分子群体之巅峰的“状元”郎，则是屈指可数。

据考证，自唐高祖武德五年(622年)的第一位科举状元孙伏伽开始，到清光绪三十年 (1904年)最后一位状元刘春霖止，在这1283年间，可考的榜数为745榜，共产生了592名状元(一说504人)，加上其他短命政权选考的状元以及各代的武状元，中国历史上总计可考的文武状元为777人。

考状元的过程中，有几个重要节点：

1.如果你是个身家清白的读书人，你需要参加县试、府试两场考试，通过考核的人，被称作童生。然而这只是预选，还没有资格参加正式的科举考试。

2.以童生的身份，参加各省学政主持的院试(三年两次)，考中的就是秀才，算是有了功名，也具备了参加科举的资格。

县考、府考、院考三次预备性考试的第一名，均为案首，俗称「小三元」。

3.考上秀才后，你就可以参加在省城举行的乡试了(三年一次，由于在秋季举行，又称为秋闱)。考试过关的人就叫举人，第一名叫做解元。

4.考上举人后，你要动身准备进京了，参加由礼部主持的会试(乡试后的第二年春天，又被称为春闱)。通过会试称为贡士，第一名称为会元。

5.当你成为贡士，你就有资格参加由皇帝主持的殿试了。皇帝及大臣根据考生的表现，会划分档次，共有三甲。

一甲只有三个人，叫进士及第，就是我们熟知的状元、榜眼、探花。

二甲若干(清朝时一般为七人)，称“进士出身”。三甲称“同进士出身”。世人统称被录取者为进士。进士是功名的尽头，就算是对名次不满意也不可以重考。

考上状元已经极其不易。然而，在古代读书人的心目中还有一个至尊的荣誉，就是“三元及第”，也就是说，在乡试、会试、殿试都取得第一名。

这是真正的高难度，因为你必须保证全省考第一，然后在会试中全国考第一，最后殿试里在皇帝心目中也是第一。尤其是最后一条，主观性还是挺大的。

而历史上最终做到三元及第的，只有15个人。其中有一个更是从县试到殿试，一口气六战六捷，六获第一，他就是明代的科场奇才黄观，时人称其“三元天下有，六首世间无”。

黄观，字澜伯，又字尚宾，1364年生于南直隶池州府(今安徽省池州市贵池区)。因为到他父亲时家道中落，入赘许家为婿，所以黄观最初从母姓，名叫许观。直到他当了礼部右侍郎，才由朝廷特准恢复了原姓。

1390年，26岁的黄观以贡生的身份入太学。这年八月，他在乡试中获得第一名，中“解元”。

第二年三月的会试，又得了第一名，中“会元”。

四月，他参加由明太祖朱元璋亲发策问的殿试。在策论中，他极力主张“屯兵塞上，且耕且守，来则拒之，去则防之，则可中国无扰，边境无虞”，从而深得朱元璋的嘉许，取殿试一甲第一名(状元)，成为明朝历史上第一位“连中三元”者。这时的他，年仅27岁。

而他之前在入太学前的县试、府试和院试，也都是第一名，可谓是科举考试史上的奇迹，称第一考神也不为过。

日暮碧云净，余霞天际红。

村烟远近里，山色有无中。

古树斜阳暗，孤峰淡月濛。

门开一涧曲，星影落桥东。

——黄观诗作《溪上晚眺》

学业有成的黄观，在事业上也不遑多让。年少得志的他，官运一路畅通，深得明太祖朱元璋、建文帝朱允炆的赏识。32岁就做到了正二品的高官之位(礼部右侍郎，相当于副部级)。

建文帝登基后，更是成为股肱之臣，参与重要国事奏议。如果没有“靖难之役”，位极人臣也是早晚的事儿。

可惜没有如果，他的信念也不会允许他向朱棣方面靠拢。

所以当朱棣起事前拥兵自重，入朝见建文帝不拜之时，满朝文武只有他当面顶撞：“虎拜朝天，殿上行君臣之礼;龙颜垂地，宫中叙叔侄之情”，并密奏建文帝扣留燕王，致使朱棣怀恨在心。

无奈最后，建文帝还是优柔寡断，纵虎归山。

朱棣举兵后，黄观更是拟诏令，要燕王罢兵归藩，束身谢罪，言辞甚为激烈。朱棣后来拟定的一份50多人的“奸臣”名单中，黄观名列第6。

1402年，朱棣攻入南京，建文帝不知所踪。这时的黄观带着建文皇帝玉玺，准备前往长江上游募兵勤王。

朱棣一边派人追捕黄观，一边派人抄了黄观的家，还将黄观妻女发配给象奴为妻妾。不堪此辱的黄观妻子翁氏，带着女儿和家人投河自尽。

当黄观得知妻女为守节而死，建文帝失踪，朱棣即位，明白大势已去的他穿好朝服，向东方拜了拜，然后在安庆下游罗刹矶投江。

因为黄观带着重宝，又是重点追捕对象，尸体竟一直未找到，也有人猜测：黄观可能如同建文帝一般，金蝉脱壳。

黄观活不见人死不见尸，更是让朱棣余恨难消：诛了黄观九族后，连黄观的功名档案也一并消去，以致《登科录》中没有黄观的名字，诸多作品也被销毁。直到万历二十四年(1596年)，黄观才得昭雪，补谥“文贞”。

虽然见于史书中的他，投江时只有38岁。但这三十多年，却是别人百岁也无法企及的。他是唯一连续六次考试都得第一的人;他三十多岁就高居二品大官;他读书学以致用，殿试答题就是治国良策;他不畏强权，坚守自己的信念，为人端正有节。即使曾被朱棣刻意抹去，也终会在历史中绽放自己的光芒。

螳螂调到蜗牛、水螅界当法官后，仍然一成不变地按昆虫界刑法进行审判。

一天，他威严地站在审判席中央，用镰刀似的前脚举起判决书：

“绿水螅害死同胞，罪大恶极，证据确凿，判处  死刑，立即执行。死刑用刀把脑袋割成两半执行。”

绿水螅听到这个判决，心里暗暗好笑。场内，顿时议论纷纷。

“安静!安静!”螳螂接着又宣布：

“贪嘴蜗牛偷吃禁食植物，犯罪情节轻微，根据刑法第一五一条规定，切掉触角予以教训。”

贪嘴蜗牛立即昏了过去，别的蜗牛都忿忿不平：

“法官大人，你判得太重了。”

“是啊，这不要了他的命吗?”

“你不知道，我们蜗牛的眼睛是长在……”

“胡说!”没等他们说完，螳螂就拍着石桌大叫道，“你们是法官，还是我是法官?谁再敢捣乱，我就拘留他!”

大伙都不敢吱声了。

蜗牛的眼睛是长在长触角上的，短触角则是他们的“鼻子”。贪嘴蜗牛被切掉两对触角后，再也看不见东西，闻不到气味，找不到食物了，没过几天就死了。

而绿水螅呢，它的再生能力很强，脑袋被割成两半后，不但没有死，而且还长成了两个脑袋。从此，水螅中的犯罪越来越多，越来越严重。

蜗牛们向低等动物界最高法院告螳螂法官的状。

螳螂法官被撤了职。它很不服气，申辩说：“以前我在昆虫界当法官的时候，一直是按这个刑法审判的，谁都说我是个最公正的铁包公;现在，我还是按这个刑法审判，为什么要撤我的职?”

“就是因为这个才撤了你的职。蜗牛、水螅和昆虫的生理有许多截然不同的地方，你却还是按昆虫刑法判刑，结果使犯了轻罪的贪吃蜗牛丧了命，犯了杀人罪的绿水螅却没有得到应有的下场。”

螳螂垂下了头。

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。

“大江东去，浪淘尽、千古风流人物。故垒西边，人道是、三国周郎赤壁。乱石崩云，惊涛裂岸，卷起千堆雪。……”

这豪迈雄放的词，出自北宋著名文学家苏轼的词《念奴娇?赤壁怀古》。苏轼的词一经出现，就一扫北宋词坛一百多年的靡丽风气，开创了一代新词风。他创立的宋词豪放派，大大拓展了词的表现方式和内容，打开了宋词健康发展的新局面，使词终于成为一种与诗一样流芳百世的文学体裁。

苏轼是眉州眉山(今四川眉山)人。他和父亲苏洵、弟弟苏辙，都还是北宋时的著名散文家，都名列“唐宋八大家”。后人把他们父子三人合称为“三苏”。

苏轼二十一岁那年，和弟弟苏辙进京考试，结果两人同时考中了进士。

当时，主考官是欧阳修，他一心想选拔一些有才能的读书人。他在试卷中看到一篇论文，题目是《刑赏忠厚论》，写得非常精彩。他本想把这个考生定为头名，但疑心是自己的门生曾巩写的，怕别人说长道短，就定为第二名。直到发榜以后，他方才知道原来这篇论文是眉山来的应试青年苏轼写的。

苏轼考取以后，去拜见主考官欧阳修。欧阳修与他交谈了好一会儿，更加喜欢这个才华横溢、气度不凡的青年了。事后，他感叹地对人说：“苏轼这青年可说是善于读书，善于用书了，将来他的文章一定独步天下。”又说：“我应该赶快退避，让他出人头地。”“出人头地”的成语就是这么来的。

人们听到了欧阳修这番话，开头很不服气。后来，大家看到了苏轼的诗文，不得不信服了。

苏轼考上进士以后，开始做官了。王安石变法期间，他接连两次上书朝廷，认为变法有问题。当时，正是王安石当政。苏轼不愿留在京城，就请求去外地做官。

苏轼为官，很关心百姓的疾苦。他曾在徐州、湖州、杭州等地当过地方官。每到一地，他总要为当地百姓办一些好事。

他在徐州的时候，黄河在澶州决口，洪水滔天，淹了很多州县。大水很快冲到了徐州，徐州百姓慌了手脚，富人纷纷出城逃命。苏轼担心富人一跑，民心动摇，就对富人说：“有我太守在，决不让洪水进城!”

把人心安定以后，苏轼请官兵一道抗洪，筑了一道长堤。大雨日夜不停，洪水不断上涨。苏轼在城头搭了一间小屋，日夜住在里面，指挥抗洪，即使经过自己的家门，也不回家探望。他派官吏分段防守，终于保住了徐州城。

他在杭州的时候，发现西湖淤塞。他奏报朝廷，疏浚西湖。他用了二十万民工，深挖河床，用挖出的泥，筑成一条长堤，这就是著名的苏堤。

长堤筑成了，苏轼又命人在堤上种植芙蓉、杨柳。这一来，西湖的景色更美了，简直像一幅图画。他曾写了一首诗，形容西湖在晴雨两种不同天气中所表现的不同风光：水光潋滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇。欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜。这首诗第一句写晴时的水，第二句写雨后的山，写出了晴雨时的不同景色。三、四两句把古代美女西施(西子)来比西湖，说不管她如何打扮，总是那么美丽动人。这首优美的小诗，历来被认为是歌咏西湖的最优秀的作品之一。这以后，人们又把西湖称为“西子湖”了。

苏轼一生做了四十来年的官，在朝廷中和地方上担任过各种官职，但他在政治上始终不怎么得意，经常遭到排挤打击。他曾经多次被贬官。有一回，他还遭人诬陷，被押到京城，在大牢中关了上百天。他在晚年还被贬逐到昌化军(今海南儋县)。他在那里住了三四年，好不容易恢复官职，迁还内地，第二年(公元1101年)，这个六十六岁的老人就在常州病死了。

苏轼是一个才华横溢的大文豪。前面说到，他的文章名列“唐宋八大家”。当时，欧阳修非常赞赏他的文章。宋神宗尤其爱读他的文章，进餐时，侍奉的人送上饭菜，神宗却读得忘了用餐，口中还连声称赞说：“天下奇才!天下奇才!”那时的读书人对他崇拜得不得了，把他的文章作为学习的范本。他们说：“苏文熟，吃羊肉;苏文生，吃菜根。”

苏轼一生留下了四千多首诗。他诗思敏捷，诗写得又快又好。有一回，他从老家去京城，坐船沿江东下，途中诗兴勃发，一下子写了四十多首。他的不少诗作都很出色，如“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”，就富有哲理，已成为人们传诵的名句。

苏轼还是个大名鼎鼎的书法家。我国古代楷书最重要的流派有“颜(真卿)、柳(公权)、欧(阳询)、苏(轼)”等，在宋代，最著名的书法家有“苏(轼)、黄(山谷)、米(芾)、蔡(襄)”，苏轼都列名其中。直到现在，还有人写他的书体。

苏轼也是一个很有成就的画家。他善于画枯木怪石，自成一体，传世的不过两三幅，已都是稀世奇珍了。他自己评价他的画说，有一幅《寒林竹石》，“已入神品”。

说起来你也许不信，苏轼还通晓医药学。后人把他这方面的论著和大科学家沈括的医药书合在一起出版，称为《苏沈良方》。

苏轼可真是一个多才多艺的人啊!
