Amazing the World with a Single Feat
In the Warring States Period, Duke Wei of Qi neglected state affairs, for the first three years of his reign, giving himself over to dissipation. One of his minister, Chun Yukun who had a good sense of humour, said to him:”There is a big bird which has neigher taken wing nor sung for three years.” The duke answered, “Once that bird starts to fly and sing, it will astonish the world.” The duke thereupon devoted himself to his duties and built his state up into a powerful one.

惊弓之鸟
Birds Startled by the Mere Twang of a Bowstring
战国时期(公元前403―221年中国中原地区各诸侯国连年争战的时代)魏国有个名叫更羸的人。一天,他对国王说:“我只要拉开弓,空射一下,就能把天上的鸟射下来。”国王不相信。更羸便对准天上飞来的一只雁射去,果真那只雁听到拉弦的声音就掉了下来。国王感到很奇怪。更羸说,“那是一只受过伤的雁。它一听到我拉开弓弦的声响,就惊慌得支持不住,自然要掉下来了。”
In the Warring States Period, there was a man in the State of Wei called Geng Lei. One day he said to the king: 'I can shoot down birds by simply plucking my bowstring.' When the king expressed doubt, Geng Lei pointed his bow at a wild goose flying in the sky, twanged the bowstring, and the goose fell to the ground. Geng Lei said, 'This goose has been hurt in the past. Hearing the twang of the bowstring, it assumed that it was doomed. So it simply gave up trying to live.'
“惊弓之鸟”这个成语比喻受过惊恐之后,有一点动静就特别害怕。

凿壁偷光
Kuang Heng was born in a poor family. He liked reading books very much. He needed to work at daytime, so he had to read books during night. But he was too poor to buy a candle.

However, he finished reading all his books and there were no books for him to read. Then he went to a rich man’s house and worked for him without payment. The rich man asked: “ Why don’t you want the money?” Kuang Heng said: “ Because I only want to borrow your books.” The rich man agreed. Kuang Heng read the books one by one.

Pandora's box
Long long ago, there was no trouble, no sadness in the world. Everyone was healthy, happy and loving. The earth was a garden of joy.
A young woman named Pandora lived in this garden. The gods made her out of clay.
One of the gods gave her a box. It was very beautiful, and very valuable too.
"Never, never open that box!"All the gods warned Pandora. She promised to obey them.
But as time went on, Pandora grew more and more curious about what was in the box.
"I 'll just take a little peek."
So she opened the box just to take a little peek. Out of the box flew things. Greed and Envy came out first and soared up into the clean, bright air.
Pandora tried to shut the box, but she couldn't. Out flew Hatred and Cruelty with terrible force. Hunger and Poverty followed. Then came Sickness, and Despair, and all the other terrible things.
She grabbed at them in the air, but they soared out of her reach and up into the sky. None came back. They are bringing misery and trouble to people on earth.
"Come back! Come back!" Pandora shouted.
But the gods had not put only terrible things in Pandora's box.
Hidden in among the terrible things was something small and good. This thing was Hope.
Whenever there is too much trouble and sadness among us, Hope gives us strength to fight against them. Hope makes us think that tomorrow will be better.
And soon Pandora dried her tears.

邯郸学步
English
相传在两千年前,燕国寿陵地方有一位少年,不知道姓啥叫啥,就叫他寿陵少年吧!
这位寿陵少年不愁吃不愁穿,论长相也算得上中等人材,可他就是缺乏自信心,经常无缘无故地感到事事不如人,低人一等——衣服是人家的好,饭菜是人家的香,站相坐相也是人家高雅。他见什么学什么,学一样丢一样,虽然花样翻新,却始终不能做好一件事,不知道自己该是什么模样。
家里的人劝他改一改这个毛病,他以为是家里人管得太多。亲戚、邻居们,说他是狗熊掰棒子,他也根本听不进去。日久天长,他竟怀疑自己该不该这样走路,越看越觉得自己走路的姿势太笨,太丑了。
有一天,他在路上碰到几个人说说笑笑,只听得有人说邯郸人走路姿势那叫美。他一听,对上了心病,急忙走上前去,想打听个明白。不料想,那几个人看见他,一阵大笑之后扬长而去。
邯郸人走路的姿势究竟怎样美呢?他怎么也想象不出来。这成了他的心病。终于有一天,他瞒着家人,跑到遥远的邯郸学走路去了。
一到邯郸,他感到处处新鲜,简直令人眼花缭乱。看到小孩走路,他觉得活泼、美,学;看见老人走路,他觉得稳重,学;看到妇女走路,摇摆多姿,学。就这样,不过半月光景,他连走路也不会了,路费也花光了,只好爬着回去了。
