  父親和他的兒子 THE FATHER AND HIS SONS

  Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

  He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: “My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.”

  一位父親有幾個(gè)孩子,這些孩子時(shí)常發(fā)生口角。他絲毫沒有辦法來(lái)勸阻他們,只好讓他們看看不合群所帶來(lái)害處的例子。為了達(dá)到這個(gè)目的,有一天他叫他們替他拿一捆細(xì)柴來(lái)。當(dāng)他們把柴帶來(lái)時(shí),他便先后地將那捆柴放在每一個(gè)孩子的手中,吩咐他們弄斷這捆柴。他們一個(gè)個(gè)盡力去試,總是不能成功。

  然后他解開那捆柴,一根根地放在他們手里,如此一來(lái),他們便毫不費(fèi)力地折斷了。于是他就告訴他們說(shuō):“孩子們!如果你們大家團(tuán)結(jié)一致,互相幫助,你們就像這捆柴一樣,不能被你們的敵人折斷;但如果你們自行分裂,你們就將和這些散柴一般,不堪一折了。”

  熟能生巧小故事 Skill comes from practice

  During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground. He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler only nodded his head indifferently. This hurt his Pride.“Can you do this?” he asked the old oil peddler.

  “No, I can’t.”

  “What do you think of my skill?”

  “Just OK, but nothing special. You’ve gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That’s all.”

  “What can you do, then?” the old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with a copper coin. He then scooped out a ladle of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the bottle.Now, a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, “This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot.” And with these words, he left.

  Later, people use this phrase to mean “Practice makes perfect”.

  北宋時(shí)期,有個(gè)技藝高超的射手。有一天,他在訓(xùn)練場(chǎng)上練習(xí)射箭,引來(lái)了一大群人觀看,大家都稱贊他的技藝,他感到非常驕傲。但他發(fā)現(xiàn)人群中有個(gè)賣油翁只是淡淡的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭,這使得他很不高興。他就問(wèn)那老頭:“你會(huì)射箭嗎?”

  “不會(huì)。”

  “你認(rèn)為我的技術(shù)如何?”

  “一般。沒什么特別的,你只能對(duì)付固定的東西,僅此而已。”

  “你會(huì)干什么?”

  這個(gè)老頭沒有回答。他把一個(gè)葫蘆放在地上,接著把一枚銅錢放在瓶口。然后從他的大油壺里舀起一勺油。

  從高處往放在地上的葫蘆里倒。只見那油就像線一樣從銅錢中間的小洞里滴下去,一滴都沒有漏出來(lái)。圍觀者都驚呆了。而這個(gè)賣油翁卻說(shuō):“其實(shí)沒什么大不了的,只不過(guò)是天天練的結(jié)果。”說(shuō)完,他就離開了。后來(lái),人們用“熟能生巧”這個(gè)成語(yǔ)來(lái)表示熟練了就能作得好。
