:枕戈待旦
In the Western Jin Dynasty there were two young men.One of them was Zu Ti and the other was Liu Kun.Both of them were men of ideals and integrity who were chivalrous and of a sanguine disposition.They not only wrote excellent articles but also were fond of practising martial arts to keep fit, in order to render meritorious service to the country.Both of them were chief clerks responsible for document administration in Luoyang.Although in appearance the Jin Dynasty had jurisdiction of the Central Plains comprising the middle and lower reaches of the Haunch and threatened by foreign invasion.Zu Ti and Liu Kun often talked about the country's situation till late into the night,and each time they talking very excitedly again.
Liu Kun fell asleep without knowing it,but Zu Ti was too excited to fall asleep." Cock-a-doodle-doo,"came the crow of rooster in the wasteland.Zu Ti jumped up and kicked Liu Kun awake:"Listen.How inspiring the rooster's crow is.Let's get up and practised on a slope.From then on,they kept practising sword playing vigorously and energetically in the wasteland every day when they heard the first crow in the morning.
Deeply moved by Zu Ti's patriotic passion,Liu Kun was determined to devote himself to his homeland.Once he wrote to his family:"At the time when the country is in dire peril,I am resolved to dedicate myselt to the service of my country.I often fear that I might lag behind Zu Ti in rendering service to the country,and,in fact,I am behind him..."
The words" sleep with my head pillowed on a spear,waiting for the day to break"vividly described Liu Kun's determination to dedicate himself to the service of the country and to fight the enemy at any time.Later,this set phrase is used to mean maintaining sharp vigilance and being ready to fight at any time."
西晉人祖逖和劉琨,都是性格開朗、仗義好俠的志士。年輕時不但文章寫得好,而且都喜歡練武健身,決心報效祖國。當時,晉朝表面上還管轄著中原大地,但實際上已是內憂外患,風雨飄搖了。祖逖和劉琨一談起國家局勢,總是慷慨萬分,常常聊到深夜。
一天,祖逖又和劉琨談得十分興奮,劉琨不知什麼時候睡著了,祖逖卻久久沉浸在談話的興奮之中,不能入睡。“喔,喔,喔--”荒原上的雄雞叫了起來,祖逖一躍而起,踢醒了劉琨:“聽,這雄雞啼鳴多麼振奮人心呀,快起來練劍吧!”於是,兩人操起劍來,在高坡上對舞。從此,他倆每天清早聽到頭一聲鳴叫,一定來到荒原上抖擻神練起劍來。
劉琨被祖逖的愛國熱情深深感動,決心獻身於祖。一次他給家人的信中寫道:“在國家危難時刻,我經常‘枕戈待旦’***枕著兵器睡覺一直到天明***,立志報國,常擔心落在祖逖後邊,不想他到底走到我的前頭了!……”
故事出自《晉書•祖逖傳》。“枕戈待旦”出自劉琨《與親故書》,形象地寫出了劉琨隨時準備殺敵報國的決心。後來用作成語,形容時刻警惕敵人,準備作戰。

南朝的江淹,字文通,他年輕的時候,就成為一個鼎鼎有名的文學家,他的詩和文章在當時獲得極高的評價。 可是,當他年紀漸漸大了以後,他的文章不但沒有以前寫得好了,而且退步不少。他的詩寫出來平淡無奇;而且提筆吟握好久,依舊寫不出一個字來,偶爾靈感來了;詩寫出來了,但文句枯澀,內容 平淡得一無可取。於是就有人傳說,有一次江淹乘船停在禪靈寺的河邊,夢見一 個自稱叫張景陽的人;向他討還一匹綢緞,他就從懷中拘出幾尺綢緞還他。因此,他的文章以後便不精彩了。又有人傳說;有一次江淹在冶亭中睡午覺;夢見一個自稱郭璞 的人,走到他的身邊,向他索筆,對他說:“文通兄,我有一支筆在你那兒已經很久了,現在應該可以還給我了吧!” 江淹聽了,就順手從懷裡取出一支五色筆來還他。據說從此以後,江淹就文思枯竭,再也寫不出什麼好的文章了。
其實並不是江淹的才華已經用完了,而是他當官以後,一方面由於政務繁忙,另一方面也由於仕途得意,無需自己動筆,勞心費力,就不再動筆了。久而久之,文章自然會逐漸遜色,缺乏才氣。***節選自《應用寫作》1995年第8期《但願“江郎”才不盡》***

亡羊補牢
Once upon a time, there was a shepherd who kept several sheep.
從前有個人,養了幾隻羊。
One morning, the shepherd discovered that one of his sheep was missing.It turned out that, during the night, a wolf had stolen his sheep through a hole in the sheep pen.
一天早上,他發現少了一隻羊。原來羊圈破了個窟窿,夜間狼從窟窿裡鑽進來把羊叼走了。
His neighbor suggested to him: "You should fix the pen and cover the hole right away."
鄰居勸告他說:“趕快把羊圈修一修,堵上那個窟窿吧。”
But the shepherd said: "The sheep is already lost, so I don't need to repair it." And so he rejected the neighbor's suggestion.
他說:“羊已經丟了,還修羊圈幹什麼呢?”他沒接受鄰居的勸告。
The next morning, he discovered that another sheep was missing.Once again, the wolf stole the sheep through the hole in the fence.
第二天早上,他去放羊,發現又少了一隻羊。原來狼又從窟窿裡鑽進來把羊叼走了。
The shepherd regretted not taking the neighbor's advice.So he plugged the hole to secure the sheep pen.
他很後悔沒有接受鄰居的勸告,他趕快堵上那個窟窿,把羊圈修得結結實實的。
From then on, no more sheep was stolen by the wolf.
從此,他的羊再沒有被狼叼走了。
