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。

一个感人的英文小故事 (这篇不错的,可以看看:) A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you." 下面几个英语写作网，有各个方面的，你可以根据自己的情况，参考下写作格式和内容：）~~ 英语写作网:)~里面有分类的 这里也有不少英语的优秀作文：：）~~
