　　歷史成語故事望梅止渴原文

　　東漢末年，曹操帶兵去攻打張繡，一路行軍，走得非常辛苦。時(shí)值盛夏，太陽火辣辣地掛在空中，散發(fā)著巨大的熱量，大地都快被烤焦了。曹操的軍隊(duì)已經(jīng)走了很多天了，十分疲乏。這一路上又都是荒山禿嶺，沒有人煙，方圓數(shù)十里都沒有水源。將士們想盡了辦法，始終都弄不到一滴水喝。頭頂烈日，戰(zhàn)士們一個(gè)個(gè)被曬得頭昏眼花，大汗淋淋，可是又找不到水喝，大家都口干舌燥，感覺喉嚨里好像著了火，許多人的嘴唇都干裂得不成樣子，鮮血直淌。每走幾里路，就有人倒下中暑死去，就是身體強(qiáng)壯的士兵，也漸漸地快支持不住了。

　　曹操目睹這樣的情景，心里非常焦急。他策馬奔向旁邊一個(gè)山崗，在山崗上極目遠(yuǎn)眺，想找個(gè)有水的地方。可是他失望地發(fā)現(xiàn)，龜裂的土地一望無際，干旱的地區(qū)大得很。再回頭看看士兵，一個(gè)個(gè)東倒西歪，早就渴得受不了，看上去怕是難得再走多遠(yuǎn)了。

　　曹操是個(gè)聰明的人，他在心里盤算道：這一下可糟糕了，找不到水，這么耗下去，不但會(huì)貽誤戰(zhàn)機(jī)，還會(huì)有不少的人馬要損失在這里，想個(gè)什么辦法來鼓舞士氣，激勵(lì)大家走出干旱地帶呢?

　　曹操想了又想，突然靈機(jī)一動(dòng)，腦子里蹦出個(gè)好點(diǎn)子。他就在山崗上，抽出令旗指向前方，大聲喊道：“前面不遠(yuǎn)的地方有一大片梅林，結(jié)滿了又大又酸又甜的梅子，大家再堅(jiān)持一下，走到那里吃到梅子就能解渴了!”

　　戰(zhàn)士們聽了曹操的話，想起梅子的酸味，就好像真的吃到了梅子一樣，口里頓時(shí)生出了不少口水，精神也振作起來，鼓足力氣加緊向前趕去。就這樣，曹操終于率領(lǐng)軍隊(duì)走到了有水的地方。

　　曹操利用人們對(duì)梅子酸味的條件反射，成功地克服了干渴的困難?？梢娙藗?cè)谟龅嚼щy時(shí)，不要一味畏懼不前，應(yīng)該時(shí)時(shí)用對(duì)成功的渴望來激勵(lì)自己，就會(huì)有足夠的勇氣去戰(zhàn)勝困難，到達(dá)成功的彼岸。

　　歷史成語故事望梅止渴英文

　　One summer, Cao Cao was leading his troops in a punitive expedition against Zhang Xiu. It was extraordinarily hot. The burning sun was like a fire, and the sky was cloudless.

　　The soldiers were walking on the winding mountain paths. The dense forest and the hot rocks exposed to the sun on both sides of the paths made the soldiers feel suffocated.

　　By noontime the soldiers' clothes were wet through with sweat, and the marching speed slowed down. Some solders of weak physique even fainted on the roadside.

　　Seeing that the marching speed was slower and slower, Cao Cao was very worried because he feared that he might bungle the chance of winning the battle. But how could they quicken their speed?

　　Cao Cao at once called the guide and asked him on the quiet whether there was a source of water nearby.

　　The guide shook his head, saying that the spring water was on the other side of the mountain, which was very far to have to make a detour to reach.

　　Cao Cao realized that time didn't permit them to make such a detour. After thinking for a moment, he said to the guide, "Keep quiet. I'll find a way out."

　　He knew that it would be to no avail to order his troops to quicken the steps. He had a brainwave and found a good solution. He spurred his horse and came to the head of the column.

　　Pointing his horsewhip to the front, Cao Cao said, "Soldiers, I know there is a big forest of plums ahead. The plums there are both big and delicious. Let's hurry along, and we will reach the forest of plums after bypassing this hill."

　　When the solders heard this, they immediately slobbered. Picturing in their minds the sweet and sour flavour of the plums, the soldiers felt as if they were actually eating the plums themselves. The morale greatly boosted, the soldiers quickened their steps a great deal automatically.

　　This story comes from "The Fake Tangery" in Anecdotes of This World by Liu Yiqing of the Southern Dynasties period (420-589). From this story, people have derived the set phrase "quenching thirst by watching plums" to refer to trying to comfort oneself of others by idle dreams.

　　歷史成語故事望梅止渴讀后感

　　一本好書就是一位朋友，雖然我已無數(shù)次觀摩好書——古文觀止，但吸引力像磁鐵一樣把我牢牢拴住。回味那一篇篇飽含知識(shí)、意義、啟示的古文。當(dāng)我打開書，總會(huì)習(xí)慣性地翻到103頁，因?yàn)橥分箍蔬@個(gè)故事給我深刻的、終生的啟示，耐人尋味。

　　望梅止渴這件事發(fā)生在曹操率領(lǐng)部隊(duì)討伐張繡期間。那是一個(gè)烈日當(dāng)空的夏天，天氣熱得出奇。部隊(duì)頂著大太陽走著，讓人透不過氣來。有幾個(gè)戰(zhàn)士因?yàn)樘珶?，太疲勞而暈倒了，?zhàn)士們的速度也跟著慢了下來，實(shí)在太渴了。曹操問向?qū)睦镉兴榷驅(qū)У脑挸龊醪懿俚囊饬希⑾脒^要放棄：“要翻過一座大山，走很遠(yuǎn)很遠(yuǎn)的路才到!”曹操心急如焚，但他始終不肯放棄。最后，憑借曹操過人的機(jī)智，他靈機(jī)一動(dòng)想出一個(gè)好方法。“前面不遠(yuǎn)處有梅林，那兒的梅子又大又甜!”曹操胸有成竹地對(duì)戰(zhàn)士們說。戰(zhàn)士們聽后垂涎三尺，信心大增，結(jié)果經(jīng)不懈的努力，艱苦的跋涉，終于找到了水源，完成了任務(wù)!

　　是啊!“有志者，事竟成!”這是一句多么現(xiàn)實(shí)，多么富有哲理的一句話呀!在生活中，我們不管做任何事，都不要想戰(zhàn)士們一樣放棄，一定要堅(jiān)持到底永不放棄，就算只有一絲絲的希望也不要放棄，努力去做就一定能成功，成功!在困難的時(shí)候，就像爬到山腰上有氣無力的時(shí)候，一定要給自己一個(gè)誘惑，一個(gè)目標(biāo)讓自己永不放棄，堅(jiān)持攀登到頂峰，讓事情完成的順風(fēng)順?biāo)?。一切努力就不?huì)白費(fèi)，加油!

　　有了希望，就有前進(jìn)的勇氣，就沒什么事情是完不成的。曹操用虛擬的梅林引起戰(zhàn)士們的決心，激發(fā)戰(zhàn)士們的勇氣。因此我們?cè)诮?jīng)受百般挫折或?qū)ΜF(xiàn)實(shí)產(chǎn)生迷茫時(shí)，要用虛擬的“梅林”來為自己描繪出美好的藍(lán)圖!
