篇一:Be There Just to Make Up the Number

滥竽充数

During the Warring States Period, King Xuan of the State of Qi loved to listen to the yu (an ancient wind instrument), especially in the ensemble.

战国时期齐国的齐宣王喜欢欣赏吹竿,特别爱听合奏。

In the palace, there was a band of fully 300 yu players. King Xuan of Qi often ordered this band to play for him.

王宫里,专门有个吹竿的乐队,足足有三百人。齐宣王常常叫这个三百人的乐队为他演奏。

A man named Nan Guo could not play the yu. But when he learned of King Xuan's hobby, he volunteered his service and bragged about how well he could play. He asked for permission to play for the king with other players. King Xuan was very glad to hear this and granted his request.

有一个名叫南郭的人,不会吹竿。但是,当他了解了齐宣王的这个嗜好以后,就毛遂自荐,吹嘘自己吹竿吹得如何好,请求跟别的乐师一道为大王演奏。齐宣王听了非常高兴,批准了他的要求。

Thereupon, in each performance he would mingle with others, put on an act, play at random, and swindled the same amount of remuneration as paid to others. In this way, he drifted along till King Xuan of Qi died.

于是,每次演奏时,他混在里面,装模作样,胡乱地吹奏一番,却骗得了跟别人同样的报酬。就这样,他一直混到齐宣王去世。

After King Xuan of Qi died, King Min succeeded to the throne.

齐宣王死后,滑王继位。

Under his father's influence, King Min also loved to listen to the yu. The only difference was that he liked to listen to solos, not ensembles. King Min proclaimed that the players must perform one by one for him.

齐洛王受父亲的影响,也喜欢欣赏吹竿。不同的是,齐滑王只爱听独奏,不爱听合奏。滑王宣布,吹竿的乐师必须一个一个地为他演奏。

When Nan Guo heard of this, he was afraid. He knew he could not drift along any longer, so he sneaked away that very night.

南郭先生一听就害怕了,知道自己再也混不下去,只好连夜溜走了。

篇二: Two Children Argue About the Sun

小儿辩日

Once, Confucius went to the east to advocate his ideas, On the way he met two children arguing hotly with each other. Confucius asked:

有一次,孔子到东方去游说,途中见到两个小孩正在激烈地争辩着。孔子问:

"Children, what are you arguing about?"

“孩子们,你们在辩论什么呀?”

One child said:

一个小孩说:

"I think when the sun rises from the hills, it is nearer to us, and at noon, it is farther from us."

“我认为,太阳刚刚出山时,离我们近;到了中午,就离我们远了。”

The other child argued:

另一个小孩争辩说:

"I think when the sun rises from the hills, it is farther from us, but at noon it is nearer to us."

“我认为,太阳刚出山时,离人远;中午时离人近。”

One child said:

一个说:

"As is known to all, things far away look smaller and things nearer look bigger. When the sun rises, it is as big as the canopy on a carnage; at noon it is only as big as a plate or a dish. Doesn't this show that when the sun rises, it is nearer to us?"

“众所周知,远的东西显得小,近的显得大。太阳刚出来时,大得像车上的伞盖;到了中午,就只有盘子、碟子那么大了。这不正说明太阳出山时离我们近吗?”

The other child said:

另一个却说:

"We all know that things nearby make us feel hot, and things far away make us feel cool. When the sun comes out, the air is clear and clean; at noon it is as hot as putting the hand in hot water. Doesn't this show that the sun is nearer to us at noon?"

“大家知道,近的东西使人觉得热,远的使人觉得清凉。太阳刚出来时,空气清清爽爽的;到了中午,热得像把手伸到热水里一样。这不正说明太阳在中午时离我们近吗?”

The two children went on arguing endlessly. Confucius was unable to judge who was right. The two children laughed at him:

两个小孩,争论不孔子无法判断谁是谁两个小孩嘲笑他说:

"Who said you are learned and erudite?"

篇三: Look at someone with new eyes/knock the socks off someone

刮目相看

Lv Meng (lǚ méng 吕蒙) was a general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms Period (三国时代,220-280AD).

三国时期(220-280),吴国有一个叫吕蒙的将军

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.

吕蒙出生在穷苦人家,小时候没有机会上学。

However, there was still less time for reading when he served in the army after he grew up.

长大后他参了军,看书的时间更少了。

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."

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。"

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

吕蒙回答道:"军中的事务这么忙,我恐怕没有时间读书。"

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 ourancestors will make you progress."

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。"

Lv Meng then did according to what the king said. He concentrated himself on reading history and military writings.

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。

On day, Military Governor Lu Su visited Lv Meng and was surprised to find that Lv Meng had become very knowledgeable.

一天,主帅鲁肃来拜访吕蒙,惊讶地发现吕蒙变得很有学问。

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!"

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!"

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

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。"

Today, when a person does something that causes others to see him differently, we can say that people "look at him with new eyes."

今天,当一个人做了某些事,令别人另眼相待时,我们就可以说,对他“刮目相看”了。
