兒童英語小故事2
During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), prince Zhou Xu of the State of Wei killed his brother and became the new emperor. Zhou Xu was a tyrant. He oppressed his people and indulged in wars of agGREssion. By launching wars, he tried to divert the people's attention and reduce their discontent with him in order to consolidate his dictatorship.
The Duke of the State of Lu leant about Zhou Xu's usurpation of state power and his ambitious plan, he asked a senior official, "What do you think about Zhou Xu's move? "The official answered, "He indulges in wars , bringing his people much disaster. He won't get their support. And he's capricious, so few of his close friends follow him. He can never achieve his success. In addition, war is like fire. If one launches wars endlessly without restraint, he'll eventually burn himself. "
Sure enough, the people of Wei with the help of the State of Chen overthrew Zhou Xu and killed him in less than a year.
Later, people use it to mean that those who do evil will finally ruin themselves.
春秋時期，衛(wèi)國的王子州吁殺死了他的哥哥衛(wèi)桓公，成為了衛(wèi)國的國君。州吁是個暴君，他壓迫百姓，到處侵略別的國家。他想利用戰(zhàn)爭來分散百姓的注意力，減少人們對他的不滿，鞏固他的專政。
魯國的君王知道州吁篡奪了王位，還想吞并其他國家，就問他手下的一名官員："你認為州吁的目的能達到嗎?"那位官員說道："州吁到處打仗，給人民來了災難。人民不會支持他。他這個人又反復無常，身邊沒有什么親信。他不可能實現(xiàn)自己的野心。而且，戰(zhàn)爭就象火。無休止地打仗，最后，火會燒到自己身上。 "
果然，不到一年，衛(wèi)國人民就在陳國的幫助下了州吁的統(tǒng)治，并處死了他。
后來，人們用這個成語來比喻干害人的勾當，最后受害的還是自己。
兒童英語小故事3
At the end of the Qin Dynasty(221-206 B.C.) the State of Chu and the State of Han fought for control for the country. Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, was besieged(包圍) at a place called Gaixia by the Han army led by Liu Bang. Xiang Yu was in a desperate situation, with little food and only a few soliders. At night, the surrounding Han troops started to sing Chu folk songs. Xiang Yu was very surprised at this, and said:"Has Liu Bang occupied the whole of Chu? How can he have drafted so many Chu people into his army?" Then he fled together with the remainder of his forces.
This idiom is used metaphorically to mean to be in a helpless and critical situation, surrounded by the enemy on all sides.
項羽和劉邦原來約定以鴻溝(在今河南榮縣境賈魯河)東西邊作為界限，互不侵犯。后來劉邦聽從張良和陳平的規(guī)勸，覺得應該趁項羽衰弱的時候消滅他，就又和韓信、彭越、劉賈會合兵力追擊正在向東開往彭城(即今江蘇徐州)的項羽部隊。終于布置了幾層兵力，把項羽緊緊圍在垓下(在今安徽靈璧縣東南)。這時，項羽手下的兵士已經(jīng)很少，糧食又沒有了。夜里聽見四面圍住他的軍隊都唱起楚地的民歌，不禁非常吃驚地說：“劉邦已經(jīng)得到了楚地了嗎?為什么他的部隊里面楚人這么多呢?”說看，心里已喪失了斗志，便從床上爬起來，在營帳里面喝酒，并和他最寵愛的妃子虞姬一同唱歌。唱完，直掉眼淚，在一旁的人也非常難過，都覺得抬不起頭來。虞姬自刎于項羽的馬前，項羽英雄末路，帶了僅剩兵卒至烏江，最終自刎于江邊。
以后人們就用“四面楚歌”這個詞，形容人們遭受各方面攻擊或逼迫，而陷于孤立窘迫的境地。凡是陷于此種境地者，其命運往往是很悲慘的。例如某人因經(jīng)常與壞人為伍，不事生產(chǎn)，游手好閑，但后來卻被那些壞人逼迫得無以為生，而求助于別人時，別人又因他平日行為太壞，絕不同情理睬，這人所處的境地便是“四面楚歌”。

郭氏之墟
On a vacation trip, Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi , which perished long ago.
Seeing the desolate and bleak prospects of broken tiles, collapsed walls, and clusters of weeds, he could not help asking the local people about the reason of the ruin of Guo Shi.
They replied,"Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds, and averse to evildoing, which led to the perdition."
When the Duke could not understand the answer, people explained ," Though he liked doing good, he had never been able to do so; though he hated evildoing, never could he help not participating. That caused the ruin of his capital."
齊桓公出游途中，來到已經(jīng)滅亡許久的郭氏都城的廢墟。
看到瓦礫殘垣、雜草叢生的蕭條景象，忍不住問當?shù)匕傩展蠝缤龅脑颉?/p>
百姓們回答說："郭氏由于喜愛善行善事。厭惡邪惡丑行而導致滅亡。"
齊桓公不能理解這種回答，百姓們便解釋說："郭氏雖然喜愛善行善事，但從來都不能做到;盡管厭惡邪惡丑行，卻總是忍不住參與其中。這就是他的都城變成廢墟的原因。"

樂極生悲
Chunyu Kun (淳于髡) lived in the state of Qi (齊國) during the Warring States Period (戰(zhàn)國,475-221 BC).He was wise, humorous and eloquent. He skillfully advised the king on many occasions and successfully went to many states as an envoy.
戰(zhàn)國時期，齊國有個叫淳于髡的人。他幽默機智，能說會道，給齊威王出過許多好主意，并且成功出使了許多其他的國家。
In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu (楚國) dispatched a large force to attack Qi.
公元349年，楚國派出大批軍隊攻打齊國。
The king of Qi sent Chunyu Kun to the state of Zhao (趙國) to ask for help, with a lot of valuable gifts.
齊王派淳于髡去趙國尋求幫助，于是他帶著許多貴重的禮品去了趙國。
The king of Zhao accpeted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help Qi.
趙王見了禮物十分高興，派了十萬士兵去援助齊國。
The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news.
那天晚上，楚王得到這消息，馬上撤回了自己的軍隊。
The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chunyu Kun. He set a banquet for celebration.
齊威王松了一口氣，十分滿意淳于髡的表現(xiàn)，并決定設宴為他慶功。
During the meal, the king asked Chunyu Kun, "How much wine can you drink before you're drunk, Sir?"
在宴會上，齊威王問淳于髡：“先生你喝多少酒會醉?”
Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chunyu Kun decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied, "I get drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred."
他幽默地回答說：“我有時喝一升酒就會醉，有時喝一百升酒才會醉。”
Puzzled, the king asked, "Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish another ninty litres?"
齊威王聽了很奇怪。他問：“你喝一升已經(jīng)醉了，怎么還會有喝一百升的道理呢?”
Chunyu Kun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under different conditions. He said, "This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it's sorrow's turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when you exceed the limits."
