Question

守株待兔英文版简洁

Answer 1

Wait for windfalls
In the Spring and Autumn Period， one day a farmer in the State of Song was working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump accidentally and break its neck. The farmer took the rabbit home， and cooked himself a delicious meal.
That night he thought，”I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is waiting for a rabbit each day by the stump.”
So from then on he gave up farming， and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.
故事梗概：
春秋时期，一日宋国有个农夫正在田里翻土，突然他看见有一只野兔从旁边的草丛里慌慌张张地窜出来，一头撞在田边的树墩子上，便倒在那儿一动也不动了。农民走过去一看：兔子死了。因为它奔跑的速度太快，把脖子都撞折了。
农民高兴极了，他一点力气没花，就白捡了一只又肥又大的野兔。他心想要是天天都能捡到野兔，日子就好过了。
从此，他再也不肯出力气种地了。每天，他把锄头放在身边，就躺在树墩子跟前，等待着第二只、第三只野兔自己撞到这树墩子上来。
