For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his master's house.

英文寓言故事 篇9
A wild hare was running in the field and behind it more than a hundred people were chasing it.
It was not because that the hare could be divided into a hundred portions but the ownership of the hare was not decided.
When a lot of hares were piled in the market, the passers -- by would not even loot at them. It was not because that people did not want to get them, but those hares already had their owner, and the ownership had been decided. As far as the administration of a country is concerned, the key is to make laws and regulations, establish clear ownership.
一只兔子在野地里跑，后面常有百多人追逐。
这并不是因为这只兔子可以分成一百份，每人可得一份，而是因为兔子的所有权没有确定。
当许多兔子堆积在市场上时，路过的行人之所以看也不看，也不是因为人们不愿意得到兔子，而是因为这种兔子已经有了主人，所有权已经确定。仅就治理天下和国家而言，关键在于制定法令，确定名份。
英文寓言故事 篇10
Believing that to govern a country well you would have to depend on some people, Wei Wenhou asked Gu Juanzi, "Can I depend on my father, son, brother, and liegemen, who all have virtues and talents?"
Gu Juanzi gave him a negative answer and explained one by one, "Yao was noted for being a good father. But his son was exiled. Shun was noted for being a filial son, but his father Gu Shou could not tell evil from kind, and his younger brother was arrogant. Zhou Gong was a sage, but his elder brother was ordered to be executed by him. Shang Tang and Zhou Wuwang were able liegemen, but they overthrew their monarchs Xia Jie and Shang Zhou respectively. Those who depend on others can never achieve his goal and will not pervade long. If a monarch wants to govern his country well, he has to depend on himself."
魏文侯认为治理国家必须依靠一些人，便问孤卷子：“是否可以信赖有德有才的父亲、儿子、哥哥、弟弟、臣下?”
孤卷子一一给予否决并解释说：“尧是有名的闲父，可他的儿子丹珠却遭到流放，舜是有名的孝子，但他的父亲瞽膄却分不清善恶，他的`弟弟也特别傲慢;周公是贤人，然而他的哥哥管叔却被他处死;商汤和周武王都属于能臣，他们的君主夏桀和商纣却被他们打翻。把希望寄托在别人身上的人绝不可能实现自己的目的，依赖别人的人也长久不了。君主要想治好国家，只能靠自己。”

南朝的江淹，字文通，他年轻的时候，就成为一个鼎鼎有名的文学家，他的诗和文章在当时获得极高的评价。 可是，当他年纪渐渐大了以后，他的文章不但没有以前写得好了，而且退步不少。他的.诗写出来平淡无奇；而且提笔吟握好久，依旧写不出一个字来，偶尔灵感来了；诗写出来了，但文句枯涩，内容 平淡得一无可取。于是就有人传说，有一次江淹乘船停在禅灵寺的河边，梦见一 个自称叫张景阳的人；向他讨还一匹绸缎，他就从怀中拘出几尺绸缎还他。因此,他的文章以后便不精彩了。又有人传说；有一次江淹在冶亭中睡午觉；梦见一个自称郭璞 的人，走到他的身边，向他索笔，对他说：“文通兄，我有一支笔在你那儿已经很久了，现在应该可以还给我了吧!” 江淹听了，就顺手从怀里取出一支五色笔来还他。据说从此以后，江淹就文思枯竭，再也写不出什么好的文章了。
其实并不是江淹的才华已经用完了，而是他当官以后，一方面由于政务繁忙，另一方面也由于仕途得意，无需自己动笔，劳心费力，就不再动笔了。久而久之，文章自然会逐渐逊色，缺乏才气。（节选自《应用写作》1995年第8期《但愿“江郎”才不尽》）
