中英对照彩图成语故事集锦
一、中国古代成语故事 1.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.'
寓意1：“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.寓意2：后人根据上面的故事，形成了“惊弓之鸟”这个成语，形容先前多次受过惊吓的人，忽然遇到同样可怕的事物，就吓得魂飞魄散，惊惶失措，不知如何去应付新的环境。
Henceforth comes the idiom “A bird startled by the mere twang of a bow-string”, illustrating a case where a man who had been previously and repeatedly frightened became numb and stupefied by a new thing of the same nature not knowing how to face the new situation.例1：汤姆越狱後, 时时如惊弓之鸟, 生怕再次被捕。
Since he escaped from gaol, Tom has been living on a razor's edge, terrified of recapture.例2：地震之后，那个地区的人都成了惊弓之鸟，稍有风吹草动就要逃到街上去。
People there became so frightened after the quake that they would run into the streets once they sensed something wrong.2.毛遂自荐
Mao Sui Recommending Himself
战国时代，秦国军队攻打赵国的都城。赵国的平原君打算亲自到楚国去请救兵，想挑选一个精明能干的人一同前去。有一个名叫毛遂的人，自告奋勇愿意同去。平原君到楚国后，与楚王谈了半天，没有一点结果。毛遂怒气冲冲地拿着宝剑，逼近楚王，终于迫使楚王答应出兵，与赵国联合共同抵抗秦国。
In the Warring States Period, the State of Qin besieged the capital of the State of Zhao.Duke Pingyuan of Zhao planned to ask the ruler of the State of Chu personally for assistance.He wanted to select a capable man to go with him.A man called Mao Sui volunteered.When the negoti-actions between the two states were stalled because the ruler of Chu hesitated to send troops, Mao Sui approached him, brandishing a sword.At that, the ruler of Chu agreed to help Zhao, against Qin.“毛遂自荐”这个成语用来比喻自己推荐自己，不必别人介绍。This idiom means to recommend oneself.例1：当老师问到有没有人愿意为孤寡老人服务时，同学们各个毛遂自荐，教室里一时热闹非凡。
When the teacher asked if anyone would like to help the childless old, all the students
offered to take the duty and the classroom was at once full of noise and excitement 例2：将来说不定您会需要一位新的译员。因而在此不揣冒昧，特致函向阁下毛遂自荐，敬请原谅。
Someday in the future you may have need for a new interpreter.So I take the liberty of writing you here to to offer myself for a position in your corporation.例3：然后她坦率地告诉他自己曾是一个妓女，她想毛遂自荐作为他的一个情妇。
After that,she told him frankly that she was a prostitute, and she wondered whether she could offer herself as his mistress.3.世外桃源
A Haven of Peace and Happiness
东晋的文学家陶渊明写了一片著名的文章叫《桃花源记》。叙述一个渔人出外捕鱼的时候，偶然来到了桃花源这个地方。从这里通过一个山洞，发现了一个村子，这里的居民是秦朝时避难人的后代。这是一个与世隔绝、没有剥削和压迫、人人安居乐业的美好社会。渔人告别村民回家以后，再也找不到这个地方了。
Tao Yuanming, a famous writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty(317-420), wrote the well-known essay Peach-Blossom Spring.In it he tells a story which goes like this: A fisherman happened to come upon a place called Peach-Blossom Spring.Squeezing through a cave, he found a village, the residents of which were descendants of refugees from the Qin Dynasty.It was a paradise isolated from the outside world, without exploitation or oppression, and everybody living and working in peace and contentment.The fisherman left the villagers and went home.But he could never find the place again.后来，由这个故事产生了“世外桃源”这个成语，用来比喻与世隔绝的、理想的美好世界。This idiom is derived from the above story, and is used to mean an isolated, ideal world.例1：进入九寨沟如同进入世外桃源一般，人间烦恼都会置于脑后。
Upon entering the resort, you will find yourself strolling in a haven of peace, leaving behind nothing but earthly troubles and vexations.例2：西藏的确是世界上最后一个世外桃源。来到这儿，我感觉好像置身于一个世外桃源。
Tibet is really the world's last Shangri-La, and when I came here, I felt as if I had been in a different world.4.南辕北辙
Going South by Driving the Chariot North
从前有个人要到南方去，他坐的车子却向北方行驶。过路人说：“你去南方，车子怎么向北行驶呢？”他回答说：“我的马很能跑路，我的车夫驾车的技术也很高明，加上我又带了充足的路费。”这个人没有考虑到，方向弄反了，他的条件越好，离他要去的地方就越远。
Once a man wanted to go to the south, but his carriage was heading north.A passer-by asked him: 'If you are going to the south, why is your chariot heading north? ' The man answered, 'My horse is good at running, my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage, and I have enough money.' The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong;the better his conditions were, the further he was away from his destination.后来人们就把这个故事概括为“南辕北辙”，比喻一个人的行为和他的目的正好相反。
The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.例1：经过7年的时间，法院从第一审至第二审的判决结果竟然出现南辕北辙的情形。After 7 years, from First Trial to Second Trial, both outcomes actually were very different.例2：故事背景在1963年纽约，叙述一名风流成性的杂志记者(伊旺麦奎格)与一名女权主义专栏作家(瑞妮齐薇格)，他们理念南辕北辙，却终于坠入爱河的故事。
This is the story, set in New York City in 1963, of a budding romance between womanizing journalist and playboy Catcher Block(McGregor), cleverly described as a ”man's man, ladies' man, man about town”, and a strident feminist advice columnist, Barbara Novak(Zellweger), who finds her own rules of love contradicted by her attraction to the cad.5.画龙点睛
Putting the Finishing Touch to the Picture of a Dragon
南北朝(公元420--589)时期，有个画家叫张僧繇。有一次，他到一个寺庙去游玩，在墙壁上面画了四条龙，可是都没有画出眼睛。看画的人觉得很奇怪，问他为什么不画出眼睛。他说：“眼睛是龙的关键，画上眼睛，龙就会飞走了。”大家不相信他说的话。张僧繇拿起笔来，刚给两条龙点上眼睛，立刻电闪雷鸣，两条龙飞向天空，墙上只剩下两条没有画眼睛的龙。In the Southern and Northern Dynasties Period(420-589), there was a painter called Zhang Sengyou.Once he visited a temple and painted on the wall four dragons, but gave none of them eyes.The onlookers felt that this was odd, and asked why he hadn't painted the eyes.He answered, 'Eyes are crucial for dragons.With the eyes painted on, the dragons would fly away.' Nobody believed this, so Zhang Sengyou took up his brush and added eyes to two of the dragons.No sooner had he finished than the two dragons flew into the sky amid a thunderstorm.The two without eyes stayed painted on the wall.“画龙点睛”这个成语用来比喻讲话或写文章时，在关键地方加一两句重要的话，使内容更加生动有力。
This idiom is used to describe how, when writing or speaking, one or two key sentences will enhance the contents.例1：正是这幅画起到了画龙点睛的作用。
The action that make the finishing point reached since this picture just about.例2：这盏灯对我的房间的装饰起了画龙点睛的作用。
This light adds the crowning touch to my room decoration.6.画蛇添足
Drawing a Snake and Adding Feet
战国时代有个楚国人祭他的祖先。仪式结束后，他拿出一壶酒赏给手下的几个人。大家商量说：“我们都来画蛇，谁先画好谁就喝这壶酒。”其中有一个人先画好了。但他看到同伴还没有画完，就又给蛇添上了脚。这时，另一个人也画好了，夺过酒壶吧酒喝了，并且说：“蛇本来是没有脚的，你怎么能给它添上脚呢？”
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 enough wine for all them, and decided to each draw a picture of a snake;the one who finished the picture 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 doesn't have feet.How can you add feet to a snake? '
“画蛇添足”这个成语比喻做了多余而不恰当的事，反而把事情弄糟了。This idiom refers to ruining a venture by doing unnecessary and surplus things.例1：对一个这样漂亮的女孩来说，化妆有些画蛇添足。
For such a beautiful girl, to use make-up would be to gild the lily.例2：我觉得这幅画是十分完美的，如果在角上再添上些花，倒有画蛇添足之感了。
The painting, as it is, seems perfect to me.If you ad some flowers in the corner, you will be painting the lily.7.班门弄斧
Showing Off One's Proficiency with the Axe Before Lu Ban the Master Carpenter
古代有一个建筑和雕刻技术非常高超的人，名叫鲁班，木匠行里尊称他为祖师。传说他曾用木头制作了一只五彩斑斓的凤凰，能够在空中飞翔三天不掉下来。在鲁班门前摆弄斧子，当然显得有些自不量力了。
Lu Ban was supposed to be a consummate carpenter in ancient times.It is said that he once carved a wooden phoenix that was so lifelike that it actually flew in the sky for three days.Thus it was considered the height of folly to show off one's skill with an axe in front of Lu Ban.“班门弄斧”这个成语，用来比喻在行家面前显示本领。
This idiom excoriates those who show off their slight accomplishments in front of experts.例1：就不要教鱼儿游泳了/别再孔夫子门前卖弄文章了，那是班门弄斧/在关公门前耍大刀(教你的祖母如何吸吮生鸡蛋)。
Never offer to teach fish how to swim since that's to teach your grandmother to such eggs.例2：你的菜煮得比我好，我当然就不想班门弄斧了。
Your cooking is better than mine, and I certainly prefer not having to bother to cook at all.8.怒发冲冠
So Angry That One' s Hair Lifts Up One' s Hat
战国时代，赵国的大臣蔺相如出使到秦国。在他向秦王索回玉璧的时候，秦王蛮不讲理，蔺相如气愤得连头发都竖了起来，向上冲着帽子。
In the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, chief min-ister of the State of Zhao, was sent as an envoy to the State of Qin to ask the ruler of Qin to return a fine piece of jade to Zhao.But the ruler of Qin was rude and unreasonable.Lin was angry, and his hair stood up so stiffly on his head that it lifted up his hat.后来人们用“怒发冲冠”这个成语形容人愤怒到了极点。This idiom came to be used to mean being extremely angry.例1：和高达2亿1千万的解聘金相比，过剩的木工们拿到的补偿简直让人怒发冲冠。
Next to his $210m severance pay, the redundant woodworkers' packages were mean to the point of provocation.例2：(华盛顿)奇才队可能对好时坏，一个晚上好得不错，第二个晚上就会很糟糕，因此会惹他们的带头人乔丹生气，抑或使他勃然大怒，甚至怒发冲冠。
The Wizards will probably play well one night, horribly the next, frequently earning their leader, Michael Jordan's anger, then his wrath, then maybe his rage.9.画饼充饥
Allaying Hunger with Pictures of Cakes
三国时代魏国的皇帝曹睿，准备选拔一个有才能的人到朝廷来做官。曹睿对他的大臣说：“选择人才，不能光找有虚名的人。虚名好像是在地上画的一块饼，只能看，不能解决肚子饥饿的问题啊！”
In the Three Kingdoms Period(220-280), the king of the Wei, Cao Rui, wanted to select a very capable man to work for him.He said to his ministers: 'When choosing a talented person, always beware of one with a false reputation.A false reputation is just like a picture of a cake;it can' t relieve hunger.后来人们就用“画饼充饥”这个成语比喻用空想安慰自己，不能解决实际问题。
Later, this idiom came to be used to mean comforting oneself with unrealistic thoughts, without solving practical problems.例1：不管是望梅止渴，还是画饼充饥，它都会激励你不停手中的桨，去追逐哪怕是一星微小的火光。
Even if there is only a fantasy or an illusion, so long as it shows a ray of hope, it still urges you on in pursuit of the glimmer without letup.例2：成语“画饼充饥”就来自于皇帝所说的话。寓意空言于事无补/无济于事。
The idiom came from what the emperor said.i.e.Kind/Fair words butter no parsnips.10.一鸣惊人
Amazing the World with a Single Feat
战国时代，齐威王即位后做了三年国君，只顾享乐，不理政事。有个善于说笑话的人叫淳于髡，一天对齐威王说：“城里有一只大鸟，三年不飞也不叫，你知道这是什么道理？”齐威王说：“这鸟不飞则罢，一飞就冲天；不鸣则罢，一鸣就惊人。”在淳于髡的激发下，齐威王开始治理国家，取得很大成绩，齐国的声威一直保持了几十年。
In the Warring States Period, Duke Wei of Qi neglected state affairs, for the first three years of his reign, giving himself over to dissipation.One of his ministers, Chun Yukun who had a good sense of humour, said to him: 'There is a big bird which has neither taken wing nor sung for three years.' The duke answered, 'Once that bird starts to fly and sing, it will astonish the world.' The duke thereupon devoted himself to his duties and built his state up into a powerful one.“一鸣惊人”用来表示平时默默无闻，一旦行动起来，却做出惊人的成绩。
This idiom is used to indicate that a person may rise from obscurity and achieve greatness.例1：不鸣则已一鸣惊人。

11.守株待兔
Sitting by a Stump, Waiting for a Careless Hare
春秋时代，宋国有个农夫，一天在耕田的时候，忽然跑来一只兔子，恰巧碰在树桩上，脖子折断死了。农夫把兔子拾回家去，美美地吃了一顿兔肉。晚上他想：“我何必辛辛苦苦地种地呢？每天在树下能捡到一只兔子就够我吃的了。”于是，他从此不再耕作，每天坐在树下等待兔子的到来。
In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump accidentally and break its neck.The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal.That night he thought, 'I needn't work so hard.All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.' So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.“守株待兔”这个成语，讥笑那些不想经过努力，存在侥幸心理，希望得到意外收获的人。This idiom satirizes those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.例1：当亚瑟王知道这个消息时，他非常愤怒。他立即回到了不列颠。他和他的骑士们到达了多佛。在多佛他碰到了莫德雷德和他的军队。他们正在守株待兔。
When King Arthur heard the news, he was furious.He returned toBritainimmediately.He and his knights arrived inDover.Here he found Mordred and his army.They were waiting for him.例2：恋爱就像打喷嚏，不经意间总能打得出来，刻意要打一个却总是打不出来。（爱情常常不属于那些穷追不舍的猎人，而属于那些守株待兔的人。
Love is like sneezing, you always do it spontaneously, but you can't sneeze on purpose.(Love belongs to those love hunters rather than those ask for luck.)
12.曾子杀彘
Zengzi Slaughters a Pig
曾子的妻子到集市上去，他的儿子哭着要跟去。他的母亲说：“你回家呆着，待会儿我回来杀猪给你吃。” 她刚从集市上回来，曾子就要捉猪去杀。妻子劝止他说：“只不过是跟孩子开玩笑罢了。” 曾子说：“不能跟孩子开玩笑啊！小孩子没有思考和判断能力，要向父母亲学习，听从父母的教导。现在你欺骗他，这是教孩子骗人啊！母亲欺骗儿子，儿子就不再相信自己的母亲了，这不是实现教育的方法。” 于是曾子就杀猪煮肉给孩子吃。
Zengzi's wife was going to the market.Her little son insisted on going with her, making a tearful scene.“Stay at home,” she said to the boy.“When I come back, I will slaughter a pig for you.” When she came back, Zengzi got ready to slaughter the pig.His wife stopped him, saying: “I was just kidding.” “A child is not to be kidded like that!” he replied.“A child does not know much and cannot judge for himself.He learns from his parents and listens to what they day.To lie to him is to teach him to lie to others.If a mother lies to her son, he will not trust her anymore.How is she then to educate him?” With that Zengzi went to slaughter the pig and prepare a good meal for their son.“曾子杀猪”这个成语寓意教育子女要注意言传身教不能以欺骗作为手段,做任何事都要说到做到，不能说谎。要做到言必行，行必果，这样才能获到他人信任。
The idiom means that attention to the education of their children should be paid to teach by personal example and verbal instruction and don't deceive and tell lies to them.Do what you say and put it into effect.To achieve Yanbi trip, will visit fruit.Only in this way can be trusted to others.例1：要从“曾子杀猪”成语中汲取教训，凡事要说到做到。

Basking in Reflected Glory
老虎在山林里捉到了一只狐狸，要吃掉它。狐狸连忙说：“你不能吃我，我是天帝派来统治百兽的。你要吃了我，就违抗了天帝的命令。你不信，就跟我到山林里去一趟，看百兽见了我是不是都很害怕。”老虎相信了狐狸的话，就跟在狐狸的后面走进山林。百兽见了果然都纷纷逃命。老虎以为百兽真的害怕狐狸而不知道是害怕自己，于是就把狐狸给放了。
A tiger caught a fox in a forest, and was just about to eat it, when the fox said, 'You mustn't eat me.I was sent by Heaven to rule the animals.By eating me, you will violate the command of Heaven.If you don't believe me, just follow me to see whether the animals are of me.' The tiger agreed, and followed the fox as it walked around the forest.The animals all ran away on seeing them.The tiger thought they were of the fox, so he let it go.He didn't realise that it was him that the beasts were really of.“狐假虎威”这个成语用来比喻倚仗别人的势力去欺压人或吓唬人。This idiom means relying on another's power to bully or frighten others.例1：我们始终希望看到他们坚强地维护自己的自由－－而且要记住，在历史上，凡愚蠢地狐假虎威者，终必葬身虎口。

“Don't ride the back of the tiger”, when finished what she said, she threw away the clerical pamphlet passed out to her by someone on the street.14.破镜重圆
A Broken Mirror Made Whole Again
南朝陈国(公元557-589)将要灭亡的时候，驸马徐德言把一面铜镜破开，跟妻子各留下一半。双方约定：如果将来夫妻失散了，就把它当作信物。后来，夫妻二人真的失散了，凭借着各人留下的半面镜子，他们最终又得到团圆。
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties when the State of Chen(A.D.557-589)was facing its demise, Xu Deyan, husband of the princess, broke a bronze mirror into halves.Each of them kept a half as tokens in case they were separated.Soon afterwards, they did lose touch with each other, but the two halves of the mirror enabled them to be reunited.“破镜重圆”这个成语比喻夫妻失散或分离后重新团聚。

Rousing the Spirits with the First Drum Roll
春秋时代，齐国派兵攻打鲁国。鲁国的国王鲁庄公带着谋士曹刿指挥作战。齐军第一次击鼓以后，鲁军准备发起进攻。曹刿说：“不行。”齐军三次击鼓以后，曹刿才说：“现在可以进攻了。”结果齐军大败。战斗结束后，鲁庄公问曹刿胜利的原因。曹刿说：“打仗要靠勇气。第一次击鼓，士气十分旺盛；第二次击鼓，士气有些衰落；第三次击鼓，士气就消耗尽了。敌人士气耗尽，我们发起进攻，所以取得了胜利。”
During the Spring and Autumn Period, an army from the State of Qi confronted one from the State of Lu.After the first roll of drums from the Qi side to summon Lu to battle, the Lu ruler wanted to attack.But his counsellor Cao Gui said, 'We should wait until the third drum roll, sire.' After the Qi side had beaten the drums three times, the Lu army attacked and defeated the Qi army.After the battle, the king asked Cao Gui the reason for his odd advice.Cao Gui answered, 'Fighting needs spirit.Their spirit was aroused by the first roll or the drums, but was depleted by the second.And it was completely exhausted by the third.We started to attack when their spirit was exhausted.That's why we won.'
后来，“一鼓作气”形容鼓起劲头，一下子把事情干完。

In the ancient time, there was a thief who went to someone's house to steal.He saw a big bell hanging in the courtyard.The thief was very happy and he thought the bell looked valuable.Then, he decided to carry this beautiful bell back home.But the bell was too big and heavy.No matter how hard he tried, he could not move it.Later, he thought there was only one way to solve the problem.He had to break down the bell into parts before he was able to carry them back to his home.The thief found a big iron hammer, with which he struck the bell with all his might.But the striking produced a loud noise and even scared the thief.But when he covered up his ears he could no longer hear the noise.The thief became cheerful at once and thought the sound of the bell would not be heard by anyone if he covered up his own ears.Feeling relieved, he began striking the bell again, one blow after another.The sound of the bell was heard at distant places, and finally people caught the thief from tracing the sound.“掩耳盗铃”这个成语指的是捂住耳朵偷铃（钟）。比喻自己欺骗自己，明明掩盖不了的事情偏要想办法去掩饰。例：这种做法无疑是掩耳盗铃，自己欺骗自己。
This way of doing things is undoubtedly like plugging one's ear while stealing a bell.They are deceiving themselves.17.邯郸学步
Slavish Imitation of Others and Loss of One's Own Individuality
公元前475年－公元221年的战国时期，燕国有个青年，他听说赵国都城邯郸的人走路姿势特别好看，于是这位年轻人决定瞒着家人去学习邯郸人走路的姿势。就这样，他来到了邯郸。迎面走来一个和他年龄相仿的人，看见那人走过，这位燕国的青年便跟在他后面开始模仿。那人迈左脚，燕国青年也迈左脚，那人迈右脚，燕国青年也迈右脚。然而，他一扭头又看到另一个中年人，他又觉得那人走路的姿势很好看，于是又跟着中年人学走路。后来他又看到一位妇女，又跟着学……。
转眼好几个月过去了，燕国青年越学走路的姿势越不好看，不仅没学会邯郸人的走法，而且还把自己原来的走路姿势也忘了。这时，带来的钱也已经花光，他只好回家，可是他又忘了自己原来是怎样走路的。无奈，燕国青年只好在地上爬着回去了。
During the Warring States Period(475to secretly make a small hole in the wall and let a glimmer of light come in through the hole.This stealing light allowed him to study until late at night.When he was grown up he became a very famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.“凿壁借光”这个成语是说偷借邻居家的灯光读书。后来指在艰苦的条件下坚持刻苦学习。The original meaning of this idiom is to make a hole in the wall and read a book by stealing the light from a neighbor.Later it came to refer to studying under very hard conditions.例：学习是很艰苦的事情，需要有凿壁借光的精神。
Studying is very hard.The spirit of “stealing the light from neighbor” is necessary.19.朝三暮四
Three in the Morning, Four in the Evening
从前，宋国有一个老人，他在家中养了许多猴子。老人每天都会给每只猴子八颗栗子，早晚各四颗。后来，猴子越来越多，老人也越来越穷，所以他想每天只给猴子七颗栗子，于是他就和猴子们商量：“从今天开始，我每天早上给你们四颗粟子，晚上给你们三颗栗子，行不行？” 猴子们想了一想，晚上怎么少了一颗呢？于是大叫起来，非常不愿意。老人一看，连忙说：“那么我早上给你们三颗，晚上再给你们四颗，可以了吧？” 猴子们听了，以为晚上的粟子已经由三个变成四个，跟以前一样，就高兴地同意了。
Once upon a time, there lived an old man in Song Kingdom, who raised a lot of monkeys at home.The old man fed each monkey eight acorns every day, four in the morning and four in the evening.Later he fed so many monkeys that he had not enough acorns.So he wanted to feed monkeys seven acorns each day.Then he discussed with his monkeys, “From today on, I will give each of you four acorns in the morning and three acorns in the evening.Is that O.K.?” Hearing this, all the monkeys got angry.How come lack one in the evening? Then the old man changed to say, “I'll give each of you four acorns in the morning and three acorns in the evening.” Thinking that there were still four in the evening, all the monkeys became happy again.“朝三暮四”这个成语原意是指实质不变，用玩弄手段，改换名目的方法使人受骗上当。后引申为，说话、办事反复无常、不负责任。
Three in the morning, four in the evening: The idiom originally means to fool others by playing tricks.It later extends to mean changing one’s mind frequently or not being responsible.Other expressions: to play fast and loose or to chop and change
例1： 你一旦有了目标就要做下去，千万不能朝三暮四，否则最后只会一事无成。
Once you have an object, do not chop and change, otherwise you'll accomplish nothing.例2：他已经有了女朋友，还朝三暮四，所以女朋友和他分手了。He's already got a girlfriend, but he still dates to “play fast and loose ”, so his girlfriend parts w/ him.20.自相矛盾 Self-Contradiction
很久很久以前，楚国有一个商人，一天他到市场上去卖自己制造的矛和盾。他大声的叫卖，有很多人围过来看，他举起盾说：“我的盾是世界上最坚固的，无论怎样锋利的东西也不能刺穿它!” 接着，他又拿起一支矛，得意地说：“我的矛是世界上最锋利的，无论怎样坚固的东西也能刺穿!”这时一位围观的人上前拿起他的一支矛和一面盾问道：“如果用这支矛去刺这面盾，结果会怎样呢?” 这个人一下子回答不出来，最后只好灰溜溜地扛着矛和盾走了。Once upon a time, there was a businessman in Chu Kingdom.One day, he sold his spear and shield in the market.He told people, “My spear is the sharpest spear in the world.It can pierce everything.And my shield is the solidest in the world.Nothing can destroy it.” Then somebody asked him, “If we use your spear to pierce your shield, what will happen?” The businessman didn’t know how to reply.“自相矛盾”这个成语比喻语言、行动前后不一致或互相抵触。Be self-contradictory both in words and behaviour.例1：你说手机没电了，却刚给他打了电话，这不是自相矛盾吗？
You said his cell phone ran off power but you called him just now.Isn't it contradictory? 例2：你刚才的话前后自相矛盾，别人不知道该怎么理解。
What you said is self-contradictory.People don't know how to understand it.21.愚公移山
The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains
很久以前，有一位名叫愚公的老人，他家门口有两座高山，家人每天进出都要绕很远的路！有一天愚公对家人说：“我们把挡在门口的两座大山移开吧，让门口的路可以直通到外面的大路上，好不好？”儿子和孙子都很赞同，可是愚公的妻子却说：“那大山的泥土搬到哪儿呢？”愚公回答：“可以搬到海里去呀！” 第二天愚公就开始了移山的工作。这时候，别人对愚公说：“你已经这么老了，还要去移山？就算让你搬到死也不可能把大山移走呀！” 愚公笑着回答：“我虽然很老，但我还有儿子，儿子还会生孙子，孙子又会生儿子，我们的子孙可以一直搬下去，总有一天会把这两座山搬走的。”后来，这件事传到了天神的耳朵里，天神想：“愚公真是有恒心的人！我来帮帮他吧！”天神就派神仙去把那两座山背到别的地方去，不再挡在愚公家门口了。
Long long ago, there lived an old man named Yugong.There were two huge mountains in front of his house and blocked his way to the outside world.One day Yugong said to his family, “Let's move the two mountains away and clear away our road!” This idea was welcomed by his family members.“But where do we put the earth on the mountain?” asked his wife.“We can dump them in the sea.” said Yugong.So they set out to work the next day.One of the neighbors saw it and asked, “You are already an old man.How can you finish this huge project?” Yugong answered with a smile, “Although I am old, I have sons and grandsons.And they will have their sons and grandsons as time goes.If I am too old to finish it, it will be continued on by my offspring.So long as we keep at it, we'll manage it someday.” Yugong's words were later heard by God.God thought, “Yugong is a man of strong wills.Let me help him!” So he sent his men to move away the two mountains.“愚公移山”这个成语比喻做事情有毅力，有恒心，不怕困难。Refer to do sth.with constancy and perseverance.例1：只要具备了愚公移山的精神，就能把汉语学好。
One can learn Chinese well so long as he has the spirit as that of Yugong moving away the mountains.例2：他这个人干事很有愚公移山的精神。
He does things as consistently as Yugong's moving away the mountains.二、外国成语习语汉译

第三篇：快乐的一天
快乐的一天
今天是六一儿童节，我们一大家人都去了成都动物园。还没进去，就看见很多人在排队买票，今天动物园可真热闹啊，简直是人山人海。看来有很多小朋友都喜欢来这里过六一。
我和弟弟一进大门就高兴地跑起来，我们先到了金鱼廊，看到了许多五彩缤纷的鱼在大池子里快乐地抢食。然后我们到了鹦鹉馆，看见了各种各样的鹦鹉，它们都穿着漂亮的衣服，有红的，有黄的，有绿的，还有白的等等。它们都被关在笼子里，孤单的唱着悲伤的歌声。
我看了许多种动物，最喜欢的是看大猩猩了。它的玻璃房子外面围满了人，爸爸赶快把我举得高高的，我一下子就看见了它。它模仿着人们的动作，一会儿招手、一会儿拍手，一会儿跳高，逗得大家哈哈笑。
最让我开心的是妈妈买了青草让我来喂骆驼。我趴在栏杆上，把青草伸进去，用手摇了摇，嘴馋的骆驼一下子被吸引了过来。它张开大大的嘴巴，一口把草料咬进嘴里，使劲拉，我担心它一下就吃完了，也使劲儿拉。最后我害怕它把我的手也咬进嘴里，就松手了，它津津有味地吃完了。然后，我又请妈妈买了好几把青草来喂他们，喂骆驼可真有趣。
今天可真是快乐的一天！

第四篇：快乐的一天
快乐的一天
今天是一个阳光灿烂的日子，我很早就起了床，起床后感觉很精神，一点也不困，因为爸爸今天答应带我去石景山游乐园玩，我特别高兴。
出了家门，我连蹦带跳地跑到车站，和爸爸一起坐上了去石景山的汽车。
快到游乐园的时候，我很远就看到了慢慢转动的观览车、高高的弹射塔和飘在空中的气球，我那更加激动的心情使我的心早已飞到了游乐园里。
车一到站，我就三步并作两步地向游乐园跑去，远远地，我看到游乐园门口人山人海，大多都是家长带着孩子来这里玩的，他们也利用假期让孩子在这儿玩个够。
在游乐园里，我和爸爸商量好去玩拉力车和碰碰船。路上我们看到了很多游玩的项目：有蜗牛爬树、矿山车、弹射塔、还有空中飞人……以前我坐过矿山车，它是一辆只有几节车厢的小车，带着车上的人在山洞里钻来钻去；当我们来到空中飞人的项目时，我看到它就是用一个滑轮带着人沿一条钢索从高处向下飘。
当我们到了要玩的第一个项目——碰碰船后，看见那里有很多很多人，等着玩的人排了很长的队，我们也只好在后面排着。
“终于到我们了！”当爸爸把票交给服务员时，我自言自语地说。我们一上船，就马上开始跟大家撞，有一些人躲着我们，不愿意撞在一起，而有一些人却拼命朝我们撞来，就这样我撞你，你撞我，大家玩得都很开心。
接下来，我们去开了拉力赛车，开车的时候由我来控制方向，虽然我掌握的不太好，但车子还是能跑起来，我很高兴我能开车了！
今天真是快乐的一天，不仅玩得很开心，而且我还有了很大的收获。
第五篇：快乐的一天
快乐的一天
星期六早晨，我匆匆忙忙地吃好饭，满怀喜悦的心情和爸爸妈妈来到张公山公园。
刚到公园门口，天空就下起了小雨，爸爸去买伞了。我走进公园，看了看路线图，心想：下雨了，儿童公园肯定玩不成了，那就去动物园吧。于是，我们一起直奔动物园。动物园的路两边一棵棵高大的松树，好像一个个大萝卜一样！
开始看动物了，我看到了美丽的天鹅、孔雀、梅花鹿，还有调皮可爱的小猴子。我拿出爆米花来喂小猴子，它看见了，急忙跑过来，我说：“表演一个！”它就立刻翻了一个跟头，然后把手伸出铁丝网外，我连忙把爆米花仍向它，说：“小猴子，快接！”它居然接住了，急忙塞到自己毛茸茸的小嘴里，津津有味地吃了起来。我似乎听到它在说：“真好吃，真好吃，小朋友再多给我一些嘛！”哇！真是好有趣哟！
今天，真是快乐的一天啊！
