第一篇:中国成语典故-- 刮目相看 (中英对照)

Look at someone with a new eye-Treat someone with increased respect

Lv Meng was a general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms Period(220-180).He was born in such a poor family that he did not get any chance to go to the school when he was a child.However, there was still less time for reading when he served in the army after he grew up.Once the king of Wu summoned Lv Meng and said to him, “Since you are now a general in power, you had better read some books to widen your horizon.”

Lv Meng answered, “I am so busy with military affairs that I am afraid I have little time to read.”

The King said, “Are you busier than I am? Even I often find time to read books on the art of war and gain much benefit from them.To read more about the experience left by our ancestors will make you progress.”Lv Meng then did according what the king said.He concentrated himself on reading history and military writings.On day, Military Governor Lu Su visited Lv Meng and was surprised to find that Lv Meng had become very knowledgeable.Lu Su, who held Lv Meng in contempt earlier, said, “I did not expect that you would know so much besides fighting!You are not the one you used to be!”

Lv Meng replied, “You should look at a person with a new eye even only after a three days' separation.”

The idiom Gu1 m* xi1ng k4n, also Gu1 m* xi1ng d4i is from Lv Meng's remarks.We use it when we are astonished by others' fabulous progress or improvement, and we should have increased respect for him or her.刮目相看

三国时期(220-280),吴国有一个叫吕蒙的将军。吕蒙出生在穷苦人家,小时候没有机会上学。长大后他参了军,看书的时间更少了。

一次,吴国的皇帝召见吕蒙,对他说:“现在你是大将军了,应该多看看书开阔眼界。”

吕蒙回答道:“军中的事务这么忙,我恐怕没有时间读书。”

吴国的皇帝说:“你难道比我还忙吗?我常常抽空阅读兵书,从中得到了不少好处。多看看前人的经验之谈,你会有更大的进步。”

吕蒙接受了皇帝的建议,从此开始专心阅读,看了很多历史和军事书籍。一天,主帅鲁肃来拜访吕蒙,惊讶地发现吕蒙变得很有学问。曾经非常轻视吕蒙的鲁肃 说:“我以为你只会打仗,没想到你这么博学。你已经不是过去的那个吕蒙了!”

吕蒙回答道:“即使你和别人只分开了三天,三天后再遇到他时也不能用三天前的老眼光来看待他。”

我们从吕蒙的话中的到了成语刮目相看,也叫刮目相待,用它来形容别人有了很大的进步,要用新的眼光来看待。

第二篇:中国成语典故-- 害群之马(中英对照)

The horse which does harm to the herd-A black sheep

It was about four thousand years ago.Huangdi(Yellow Emperor)-the first legendary ruler in China went to the countryside to visit an old friend with his entourage.They met a boy keeping watch over a herd of horses on their way.Huangdi asked the boy, “Do you know the way to my friend's village far away from here?”

The boy said yes.Then the emperor asked, “Do you know my friend?”

The answer was yes again.Huangdi thought the boy was broad-minded.So he asked him,“Do you know how to rule a country?”

The boy said, “There is little difference between ruling a country and watching over a herd of horses.You simply have to drive the wild horses out of the herd.”

The emperor left, brooding over the boy's words.The idiom is taken from what the boy said and is used to describe anyone who has a bad influence on his peers.害群之马

大约四千年前,黄帝-传说中中国的第一个帝王,带着随从去乡村看望他的一个老朋友。路上,他们遇到了一个看守马群的小男孩。

由于去朋友的村庄路途遥远,黄帝就问小男孩:“你知不知道村庄的路?那儿住着我的一个朋友。”

男孩说知道。

黄帝又问男孩:“认不认识我的朋友?”

男孩回答认识。

黄帝想这小孩懂这么多,于是问他:“你知道该怎样治理国家吗?”

男孩说:“治理国家的方法和看守一群马差不多。只要把野马从马群里赶出去就行了。”

黄帝离开时一直想着小男孩的话。

成语“害群之马”出自于这个小男孩说的话,用来形容给集体带来坏影响的人。

为了获得秦王的信任,荆轲带上了一张地图,上面画着燕国最富饶的地方,准备献给秦王。他在这张地图里藏了一把非常锋利的匕首。他来到秦国,见到秦王,恭敬的将地图献上,然后,慢慢打开地图给秦王看。当地图完全打开时,他抽出那把藏着的匕首,刺向秦王。但秦王躲开了,跑到了一根大柱子后。秦王的卫士们立 刻跑来围住他,马上就把他给杀了。燕国太子刺杀秦王的计划失败了。后来,燕国也被秦国给吞并了。

后来,人们用这个成语来比喻事情发展到最后,真相或本意就露出来了。

很久很久以前,北海里住着一条巨大的鱼,名字叫鲲(K%n)。没有人知道它到底有多大。这条鱼能够变成鹏(P0ng),一种庞大的鸟,有几百万米长。鹏鸟展开翅膀就像天空里的一大片云。它能一口气从北海 飞到地球另一边的南海。当它展翅高飞的时候,它可以冲上90000哩(45000公里)的高空。

毫无疑问,这种鸟一次能飞过很长的距离。人们用鹏程万里这个成语来祝愿别人事业顺利,前途光明。

第五篇:中国成语典故--兔死狗烹(中英对照)

During the Spring and Autumn Period(770-476BC), there were two famous senior officials in the State of Yue.The King of the Yue named Gou Jian didn't accept the advice of Fan Li and blindly launched an attack against the neighboring State of Wu.As a result, he suffered disastrous defeat and was caught by the King of Wu.The King of Wu took him back and had him as a slave.Fan Li persuaded him to endure humiliation, pretend to surrender and wait for an opportunity to avenge.Later, Wen Zhong went to the State of Wu on diplomatic missions and helped Gou Jian gain the confidence.Years later, Gou was set free.With the help of Fan and Wen, the State of Yue rapidly rehabilitated and later annexed the Wu.As they had done so much contribution, both Fan and Wen was awarded great riches.Gou Jian even offered half of the state to Fan.But Fan rejected and decided to live in seclusion for knowing Gou too well.As a hermit, Fan wrote to his friend Wen.In his letter, Fan said, “When all the flying birds have been shot down, the good bow is put away;when all the hares have been bagged, the hounds are killed for food.I suggest you withdraw in order to avoid disaster.” Wen took his advice and pretended to be ill and stopped attending imperial court meetings.But it was too late.Gou Jian believed the slanderous gossips about Wen and ordered Wen to kill himself.Later, people use it to mean trusted aides are eliminated when they have outlived their usefulness.“

兔死狗烹

范蠡和文仲是春秋时期越国的两个大官。越王勾践不听范蠡劝告,盲目进攻邻国吴国,结果被吴国打败,他自己也被吴王抓去作苦力。范蠡说服勾践忍受耻辱,假装服从,等待机会再报仇。文仲也多次到吴国拜访,并且帮助勾践恢复信心。几年以后,吴王把勾践放回越国。在范蠡和文仲的相助下,越国很快就恢复了以前的 强大,最后把吴国给消灭了。

因为范蠡和文仲为越国作出了巨大的贡献,越王就赏给他们很多财宝,还把国土的一半分给范蠡。但范蠡很了解勾践这个人,所以他决定谢绝了这些赏赐,找个 地方隐居起来。他还写信给文仲告诉他:当天上的鸟儿被射完了,弓箭也就没用了。当所有的兔子被抓完了,猎狗也将被杀了吃掉。我劝你还是早点离开勾践,免得 惹来灾难。文仲看完信后,接受了范蠡的劝告,他假装生病,不再参加朝中会议。但太迟了,勾践听信了别人对他的谣言,逼他自杀了。

后来,人们用”兔死狗烹"来比喻事情成功以后,把出过大力的人杀掉。
