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。

希望你喜欢下面这个故事.One evening I drove my husband's car to the shopping mall. On my return, I noticed that how dusty the outside of his car was and cleaned it up a bit.When I finally entered the house, I called out.'The woman who loves you the most in the world just cleaned your headlights and windshield.' My husband looked up and said, 'Mom's here?' 一天晚上我开着丈夫的车去购物，回来后发现车身沾满灰尘，于是擦洗了一阵。当我终于走进屋里时大声喊：“世界上最爱你的女人刚擦洗了你的车灯和挡风玻璃。” 我丈夫抬头看了看，说：“妈妈来了？”
