《守株待兔》英文翻译？
英文版故事如下：
In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck.
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(shé)了。
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 wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.'
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。
So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.
世上哪有那么多便宜事啊。农民当然没有再捡到撞死的野兔，而他的田地却荒芜了。
寓意：This idiom satirizes(讽刺，挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.
这个成语用来讽刺那些坐等机遇的人，而不是通过努力而获取他们的所需。

守株待兔释义：原比喻希望不经过努力而得到成功的侥幸心理。现也比喻不主动努力，而存万一的侥幸心理，希望得到意外的收获。守狭隘经验，不知变通，死守教条。
