　　短小簡單英語故事篇1

　　To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow

　　Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.

　　拔苗助長

　　從前，有個農夫，種了稻苗***seedlings***後，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田時，都發覺那些稻苗長得非常慢。他等得很不耐煩。想了又想，他終於想到一個“最佳方法”，他將稻苗全都拔高了幾分。第二天，一早起身，他迫不及待地去稻田看他的“成果”。 哪知，卻看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。

　　Making His Mark

　　A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn’t this a very foolish way to look for a sword?

　　刻舟求劍

　　楚國有個人坐船渡江時，他不小心把自己的一把寶劍掉落江中。他馬上掏出一把小刀，在寶劍落水的船舷上刻上一個記號。船靠岸後，那楚人立即從船上刻記號的地方跳下水去撈取掉落的寶劍。他怎麼找得到寶劍呢?船繼續行駛，而寶劍卻不會再移動。像他這樣去找劍，真是太愚蠢可笑了。

　　從前有一個農民每天在地裡辛苦勞作。一天他正在耕地時聽到撞擊聲;他看到一隻兔子躺在樹旁。他撿起一看是一隻肥大的兔子，他自言自語地說：“既然這麼容易撿到兔子，為什麼我要整天辛苦勞作呢?”他扔掉鋤頭，每天躺在樹邊，夢想有兔子來。當他最終意識到他的愚蠢返回地裡時，他發現他的稻穀全死了。
