[9-25]英语故事 愚公移山How Yu Gong Moved Away Two High Moun
The story tells us that so long as one is determined and sticks to it long enough, anything can be done, no matter how difficult it is.
这个故事告诉我们:只要有决心,有毅力,再难的事情也能办成。
There were two high mountains between Jizhou in the south and Heyang in the north. One was called Taihang Mountain and the other Wangwu Mountain. Both of the mountains were more than three hundred kilometers around and rose as high as 3,000 meters.
在冀州的南面,河阳的北面,有两座巍峨的大山,一座是太行山,一座是王屋山,方圆七百里,有万丈高。
Just to the north of the mountains lived an old man called Yu Gong who was nearly ninety years old. With the two high mountains just in front of his house, his family and he had to walk a long way around the mountains when they had something to do on the other side of the mountains.
山的北边住着年近九十岁的愚公,他的家门被山挡住,每次外出都要绕过大山,多走很多路,很不方便。
One day, Yu Gong called all his family together to talk about how to move the two mountains to other places. His wife said, "An old man like you cannot even move a small hill, not to mention the two high mountains. Even if you can, where can you throw so much earth and stone?"
愚公把全家人召到一起商量要把两座大山移走。妻子说:"凭你的力量,连一座小山丘也移不走,何况这两座大山呢?再说,你就是能移走,那土石往哪里放呢?" |
