成语寓言故事:Playing the Lute to a Cow对牛弹琴
Gong Mingyi was a famous musician in ancient times, who played the lute very well.
公明仪是古代一位很有名的音乐家，弹得一手好琴。
One day, while playing the lute indoors, Gong Mingyi saw a cow eating grass leisurely outside the window. He had a sudden whim to play some melodies for the cow. He first played the "Exercise of Qing Jiao", but the cow still kept on eating grass with head lowered. He seemed to realize that the melody was too highbrow for the cow to understand.
有一天，他在室内弹琴，看见一头牛在窗外悠闲地吃著草。他忽然想弹几曲给牛听听。他先弹了一曲“清角之操”。可是，牛还是跟刚才一样，只顾低着头吃草。他似乎意识到，这支曲子太高雅了，牛没有听懂。
So he played several other melodies, imitating the buzzing sounds of swarms of flying mosquitoes, and the bleats of a calf looking for its panions. At this, to his surprise, the cow stopped eating grass, but raised its head, pricked up its ears, wagged its tail and, pacing up and down in *** all steps, began to listen attentively.
于是，他弹了另外几支曲子，模拟蚊子成群结队飞来飞去的嗡嗡声;模拟小牛犊寻找伙伴的眸眸叫唤声。这样一来，这头牛竟然不吃草了，抬起头，竖着耳朵，甩著尾巴，迈著小步，留心地倾听起来。
成语寓言故事:The Gentleman on the Beam梁上君子
One year in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a serious famine in I-Jenan.
东汉时的某一年，河南一带，饥荒严重。
One night, a thief sneaked into Chen Shi's house and hid himself on the beam. When Chen Shi was aware of this, he got out of bed without haste, called his children and grandchildren to his room and said in a stern voice:
一天夜里，一个小偷潜人陈宴家，躲藏在屋子的横梁上。陈宴觉察到后，不慌不忙地起了床，把儿女子孙们都叫到屋里，严厉地说:
"One must always restrain and encourage oneself no matter under what circumstances. Bad men were not born bad. It is only bee they don't restrain themselves that they develop bad habits and turn bad gradually. That gentleman on the beam is just a case in point."
“一个人无论在什么情况下，都要克制自己，勉励自己。坏人，不是天生就坏，而是因为平时不克制自己而养成了坏的习惯，才慢慢地变坏的。那位梁上君子就是这样。”
Much ashamed upon hearing this, the thief hiding on the beam promptly jumped down to the ground, kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.
躲在梁上的小偷听了，很惭愧，连忙翻身落地，磕头求饶。
Chen Shi enlightened him by saying:
陈宴开导他说:
"Judging from your appearance, you don't look like a bad man. Perhaps you are driven by poverty to steal. But you should carefully examine yourself and turn over a new leaf."
“看你的样子并不像坏人，你这样做，恐怕也是被贫困逼出来的。不过你应当好好反省，改邪归正。”
Then he immediately asked someone to bring two bolts of white silk to give the thief as a present. The thief kowtowed and thanked him repeatedly.
接着，他马上叫人拿来两匹白绢赠送给小偷。小偷不停地磕头致谢。
Since then, very few thefts occurred in this locality.
从此以后，这个地方很少发生偷盗的事情。
成语寓言故事:Cutting the Fabric to Admonish the Hu *** and断织诫夫
A long time ago, in Henan there was a young man named Le whose family was very poor.
从前，河南有个青年，名叫乐羊子，家里很穷。
One day, Le Yangzi picked up a piece of gold on the road. He happily took it home and gave it to his wife. His wife said in all seriousness:
有一天，乐羊子在路上拾到一块金子，高高兴兴地拿回家，交给妻子。妻子却一本正经地说:
"I heard that men with aspiration do not drink from the Dao ***meaning steal in Chinese*** Spring, and honest men do not take handout food. Furthermore, picked-up money and things will stain one's moral character."
“我听说，有志气的人不喝盗泉之水，廉洁的人不吃磋来之食;何况，这拾来的钱物，会玷污一个人的品德!”
Hearing this, Yangzi was very ashamed of himself. So he threw the piece of gold away in the open field.
乐羊子听了妻子的话，心里感到非常惭愧，就把金子扔到野外去了。
This incident touched Le Yangzi deeply. He made up his mind to leave home and go to a faraway place to study under a master.
这件事，对乐羊子的触动很大。他下了决心，离家去很远的地方，拜老师学习。
One year later, Le Yangzi returned home. His wife inquired why he returned so soon. Le Yangzi *** iled and said:
一年以后，乐羊子回到家里。妻子询问丈夫为什么这么快就回来了。乐羊子笑着说:
"There is no other reason except that I, being all alone away from home, miss you so much that I e back."
“没有别的原因，只是一个人在外面太想念你了，所以就回来了。”
His wife turned pale at his words. She took up a knife, ran to the silk loom, put the knife on the silk fabric woven from natural silk, and said to Le Yangzi in an agitated tone:
妻子一听，脸色变得刷白。她顺手拿起一把刀，奔到丝织机前，把刀放在蚕丝织成的绸面上，激动地对乐羊子说:
"I reeled silk strand by strand from cocoons and, with the shuttle moving to and fro, weaved it inch by inch into this bolt of silk fabric. Now if I should cut the fabric with the knife, all the previous efforts and time I've devoted would be wasted. While studying, you should always remind yourself that there is yet much more to learn. Only in this way can you cultivate a noble moral character. If you give up halfway, it will be just like cutting up this silk fabric at one stroke."
“这丝绸，是我从蚕茧缴成丝线，一丝一缕，一梭子来，一梭子去，一寸一寸地织，才织成这一匹的啊!现在，我假使一刀割断这匹丝绸，岂不前功尽弃，白白地浪费了时间吗?你呀，读书求知识，也应该随时提醒自己学得还很不够，这样才能养成高尚的品德。如果你半途而废，那么跟一刀割断这匹丝绸又有什么两样呢!”
Deeply moved by his wife's words, Le Yangzi bid farewell to her at once, went to the faraway place, and made determined efforts to study hard. He had been away from home for a good seven years, and finally succeeded in his studies.
听了妻子的这番话，乐羊子深深地感动了。他马上告别了妻子，去远方发愤攻读，整整七年没有回家，最后终于学成功了。
