杯弓蛇影

In Jin Dynasty there was a man named Yue Guang who was fond of drinking alcohol.

晋朝有个叫乐(yuè)广的人，爱喝酒。

One day, he invited a friend to his house to drink together.

一天，他邀请朋友到家里来对斟对饮。

Suddenly, his friend saw the reflection of a snack swimming in the goblet.

忽然，朋友看见酒杯里有条蛇影在游动。

He got so much frightened that he took ill on bed after getting home.

他受了惊吓，回去便一病不起。

And neither any doctor or any medicine could cure his illness.

请医服药，都无起色。

Yue Guang came to see him and asked about the cause of his disease.

乐广跑来看他，问明起病的缘由。

When he got to know the cause, he pulled his friend from the bed immediately and took him to his house.

乐广听后一把拉起朋友往家走。

Yue Guang made his friend sit where he used to, pouring a goblet of alcohol for him, and asked him," Is there any snake reflection in the goblet?"

他让朋友坐在原处，斟满酒问：“有蛇影吗?”

There was still a "snake reflection" in the goblet! Yue casually took away the bow hanging on the wall.

杯子里还有“蛇影”!乐广随手取下墙上的弓。

This time, the "snake reflection" disappeared.

这次，“蛇影”不见了!

"So it was the bow reflection that was in the goblet!" His friend at once got well from his illness.

“杯子里原来是弓影呀!”朋友的病情顿时好了!

东施效颦

In the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), there was a beauty in the State of Yue called Xishi (西施).

传说春秋时期，越国有一美女，名唤西施。

She often suffered from pains in her chest, and so she would often walk around doubled over and with her brows knitted.

但是西施有心口疼的毛病，所以她经常手捂胸口，皱着眉头走着。

There was an ugly girl in the village called Dongshi who envied Xishi.

村子里还住着一位丑姑娘，叫做东施，她十分嫉妒西施。

Striving to emulate Xishi, she imitated her stoop, knitting her brows at the same time.

于是东施时常效仿西施，手捂胸口，紧皱眉头。

She thought that this made her elegant, but in fact, it only made her more ugly.

东施觉得她效仿西施就会变得很美丽，但是实际上，只会使她变得更难看而已。

Later, this idiom came to be used to indicate improper imitation that produces the reverseeffect.

这个典故比喻不恰当的模仿，带来相反的效果。

破釜沉舟

In the late years of the Qin Dynasty (秦朝,221 - 206BC), Xiang Yu (项羽) launched a rebellion.

秦朝末年，项羽发动了叛乱。

After crossing the Zhang River (漳河), Xiang Yu ordered his soldiers to sink all the boats and break their cooking pots.

在部队渡过漳河之后，项羽命令士兵把所有的船只都凿破，沉到河底，再把煮饭锅完全打碎。

He distributed each soldier three days' rations and warned them that there was no way return; the only thing they could do to survive was to fight against the enemy.

项羽给每个人只发三天的粮食，然后再上战场，这样做，是为了向大家表示“宁死不退”的决心。

After nine furious war, the Qin army was finally defeated.

果然，经过九次的激烈奋战，项羽的军队终于打败了秦国的军队。

This idiom is used to reveal one's strong determination to achieve one's goal at any cost.

后来，我们使用“破釜沉舟”比喻：下定决心，不达目的绝不罢休的精神。

People in the world is looking for happiness, but they don't know what is happiness. Some home very rich man said: "happiness is money." Also some people who have the power said: "happiness is power." But happiness is not money and power, remember a celebrity once said a words: "money and greed is not the happiness in the world."

It was over a weekend, I play on the bridge. Suddenly, I saw an old man is hard uphill in the cart. I saw this, ran in the past, to help grandpa pushed the car up the slope. Grandpa laughed happily said to me: "thank you!" I said: "don't mention it, lift a finger, everybody is responsible for", "at this point, my heart is full of sunshine, maybe this is happiness.

Also, in the earthquake. Although I only donate ten yuan, if everyone in the country to donate for 10 yuan, that will be seen the smiling faces of the innocent and lovely one children and those who have no home to rebuild their homes. This is a Chinese people's spirit of solidarity, to our compatriots in the future must be a beautiful and harmonious home! At this moment, I feel happy again.

Although this is just a small two things, but it makes me feel the happiness. And celebrity once said: "don't pay any costs and get happiness, that is a myth." As long as you give time to love, to help others, happiness will always be at your side!

世界上的人都在寻求幸福，但是，他们却不知道幸福是什么。有些家里很有钱的人说：“幸福是金钱。”还有些有权力的人说：“幸福是权力。”但幸福不是金钱和权力，记得有位名人说过一句话：“金钱和享受的贪求不是幸福。”

那是在一个周末，我在小桥上玩。突然，我看到一位老爷爷正推着车子艰难地上坡。我看见了，赶快跑过去，帮老爷爷把车子推上了坡。老爷爷笑咪咪地对我说：“谢谢你啊!”我说：“不用谢，‘举手之劳，人人有责’嘛，”此时，我心里充满了阳光，可能这就是幸福吧。

还有，在大地震中。虽然我只捐了十元钱，如果全国每个人都捐了十元钱，那看到的将是孩子们一张张天真可爱的笑脸和那些没有家的人重建家园。这是中国人民同胞的团结精神，将来的一定是美丽而又和谐的大家园!此时此刻，我又感到了幸福。

虽然这只是小小的两件事情，但它却使我感到了幸福。还有位名人说过：“想不付出任何代价而得到幸福，那是神话。”只要你时刻都去奉献爱心、帮助别人，幸福会永远在你的身边!

"I really will be drowned?" Looking at the sea in the mountain of reflection, slender wings and soft light and thin, hollow eyes wood but hesitate, seawater twist waste water waves the pale face with a smile a little crumpled, fuzzy hurriedly drove young foot back in the cold.

Actually I am jingwei, jingwei after one thousand two hundred, just as I was ruthless time to grade the misery, destined to try my best to fill and level up the sea with a bang, but will that do? I'm just a bird, a YuChi did not work, without the exercise of the birds!

Knew oneself will perish sooner or later, after all, he is the daughter of emperor yan! No one want me to disappear, no one want to feather fall amount, no human soul devouring dissipate, white feathers in the disorderly winds do exceptionally mottled, meets the bitter sea smell faint spit in the villi, the taste of blood.

I am afraid of the sea, deep blue ghost is my eternal nightmare, shivering body, eyes lost their protection of the purple dream, jump, roll, sea black ice tongue scraping and messy wings, give it up, repeating 1010 a movement, however just startled look back, there is no way back.

Has been in the escape, all about grade terrible, like competition and the sea, with one of the competition, the boring scores, even DuoRu still leaning regardless of grade 3, although growth in the seaside, but must shrink into the volute in the same calendar, hope no end of the past.

"There will be choice?" Heart completely cold, now, "survival or death, don't like it, and must do, suddenly jump, like a moth to the magnificent, calm and steady into the distance...

“我真的会被淹死吗?”定定的看着海山中的倒影，纤细的羽翼柔亮而稀疏，空洞的双目木然而迟疑，海水拧笑着挥霍水浪把苍白的脸一点点揉碎，模糊在冰冷中逼得幼嫩的脚慌忙后退。

其实我就是精卫，一千二百年后的精卫，就像我被无情的时光赶到初三这片苦海上，注定要尽全力轰轰烈烈填平死海，可是能行吗?我只是一只鸟，一只羽翅未干，未经磨炼的鸟儿啊!

早就知道自己迟早会灭亡的，毕竟自己是炎帝之女啊!没有人希望我灰飞烟灭，没有人想要残羽凋零飘飞，没有人欲看灵魂吞噬消散，洁白的羽毛在乱风摧残中格外斑驳，苍苦的海腥味在绒毛中幽幽吐出，如血的味道。

我是惧怕海的，深蓝的幽灵是我永远的梦魇，身体瑟瑟发抖，眼睛失去了保护的梦幻紫色，海轻蔑的跳跃、翻滚，幽黑的冰舌撕扯着凌乱的翅膀，放弃吧，重复着一千一零一次的动作，然而回头才愕然，后面已经没有路了。

一直在逃避，关于初三的一切可怕，像与海的竞争，你追我赶的争夺，枯燥乏味的分数，哪怕踱入初三依旧埋头不顾，虽在海边成长，可却偏偏缩入蜗壳守着不变的日历，盼望没有尽头的过去。

“还有选择吗?”心彻底冰凉，如今，“生存或死亡”，不喜欢，也必须做，倏地一跃而起，宛如飞蛾扑火的壮丽，平静而坚定的投向远方……

Today, I read the fairy tale "jingwei reclamation".

Originally, yan's daughter, called jingwei, she is very big, small effort often followed her father - yan emperor out of the city, hunting, hands and feet are very flexible.

One day, she saw the son of the dragon king - three prince, prince, said: "I am the son of the dragon king, what are you from?" Jingwei said: "I am the daughter of emperor yan, you have what fantastic." Say that finish, she USES the foot kicks, a hard kick a ball clay by three prince's mouth, three prince gas fire emit three zhangs, but there is no way he jingwei, had to depressed to the back of the east China sea.

After a period of time, jingwei water to play. Three prince saw, exulting in the heart, the heart thinks: "I the day of vengeance is finally here. Then he drowned jingwei. After the death of jingwei turned into a bird. From then on, every day she go to xishan fetch some stones, wood, into the east China sea. She didn't want to let people drown to the east China sea.

This is the famous "jingwei reclamation" myth.

今天，我读了《精卫填海》的神话故事。

原来，炎帝的小女儿叫精卫，她从小力气就很大，常常跟着她的父亲—炎帝出城打猎，手脚也很灵活。

有一天，她看见了龙王的儿子—三太子，三太子说：“我是龙王的儿子，你是什么人?”精卫说：“我还是炎帝的女儿呢，你有什么了不起。”说完，她用脚使劲一踢地，把一团泥巴踢到了三太子的嘴里，三太子气的火冒三丈，但他拿精卫没有办法，只好垂头丧气的回东海。

过了一段时间，精卫下水去玩。三太子见了，心里暗喜，心想：“我报仇的日子终于来了”。于是他就把精卫淹死了。精卫死后，变成了一只小鸟。从此，她每天都去西山叼回些石子、木块，丢到东海里。她不想再让去东海的人们被淹死。

这就是著名的《精卫填海》的神话故事。
