齐威王在位的时候,有一年,楚国出兵大举进犯齐国。齐国的兵力远不是楚国的对手,齐威王情急之下,只好派人向赵国求救。
齐王拨出黄金100两,车马10辆作为礼物交给淳于髡(kun,让他带上这些礼物去赵国换取救兵。
淳于髡看着这100两黄金和10辆车马,忽然大笑不止,把头上的帽缨都笑断了。
齐威王被笑得摸头不知脑,问淳于髡说:“你这样狂笑,是为什么呢?是不是觉得礼物太薄了呢?”
淳于髡忍住笑,回答说:“我怎么敢呢!”
齐威王又问:“那你为什么如此大笑不止呢?”
淳于髡回答说:“我想起了今天早上看到的一件事,觉得非常好笑。”
齐威王问:“什么事?”
淳于髡说:“今天一早,我在来上朝的路上,看到一个农夫正跪在路旁祭田。他面前焚着3根香,摆着一小盅酒;他右手举起一只小猪爪,左手打着揖,祈求说:‘土地爷啊,请您保佑我好运,让我肥猪满圈,五谷满仓,金银满箱,长命百岁,儿孙满堂,还要保佑我的儿孙个个富裕无比。’我见他祭品寒酸微薄,奢望却比天还高,不由得越想越好笑。”
齐威王听了,顿时恍然大悟,感到很是惭愧。于是,他赶紧命人备好黄金1000镒(yi,白壁10对,车马100乘,交给淳于髡前往赵国。
淳于髡带上这些东西,连夜奔赴赵国向赵王求援。
赵王接到礼物,迅速派出精兵10万,战车千辆,增援齐国。楚国得知赵国出兵的消息,星夜撤兵回国,齐国因此避免了一次战争的'损失。
本来,齐威王企图以一点微不足道的礼物去换取赵国兵马救援,这跟那个吝啬农夫的行为没有什么两样。若不是淳于髡的智慧,齐国遭到的损失就远不是那些礼物的价值了。所以一个人如果对别人不大方,却希望别人对自己十分慷慨,这其实只是一厢情愿。
The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”。 People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China.
There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First, using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second, people can improve their health by riding a bicycle.
The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries, city governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge.
我们大家在学英语的同时。好像忘记了我们的母语。我们这中华民族五千年的悠久历史,老祖宗传下来的文化,魅力好像还抵不过一个“洋鬼子”说的“鬼话”是的,英语的确是国际通用语言。可是这就是我们要冷落我们伟大的母语的'原因吗?这原因是在不值一提。中文,是世界上能最清楚表达事物的语言,只改变语调,就能变换语义。中国的语言文字叫“汉字”,而英美的语言文字叫“单词”。
这就明显能体现出汉语的意思准确、精练。我本人是回族,但我并不讨厌“汉”语、“汉”话。相反,我却十分崇敬华夏文化,因为我是中国人。
但看现在世态,我们好像不该在打着中华民族的旗子,说我们是龙的传人了。外语肆意横行,把我们老祖宗留给我们的东西,推进了印度洋深处,实在可怕。我最后竭力大喊一句:“我们是中国人!!!”
Bicycle is a convinient means of transporation. It has been very popular in China. During the rush hours, particularly in big cities, you can often see a sea of bicycle riders in the streets. People can ride bicycles to their working places, to schools, to shopping centers and so on. In a word, bicycles play an important role in daily life.
Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages. Firstly, they are not so expensive as cars and almost every family can afford to buy and repair them. Secondly, riding bicycle is a healthy form of exercise. They do good to our health. Thirdly, bicycles can save energy and does not cause any pollution, while cars will cause serious air pollution, which makes the air in our living place very dirty and makes a lot of people suffer from lung cancer. As we all know, China is a country with a large population. Ifeach family has a car, a large amount of energy would be wasted and air pollution would become more and more serious. Finally, most Chinese people don’ t live far away from where they work or study, it is convenient to ride bicycles. I think that is why bicycles are used so much.
Bicycles are so popular in China that China is often referred to as the kingdom of bicycles. I hope more and more people can ride bicycles in order to make our planet better and cleaner.
自行车是一种方便的交通工具。它在中国非常受欢迎。在高峰期间,尤其是在大城市,你可以经常在街上看到自行车骑手。人们可以骑自行车上班,学校、购物中心等等。总之,自行车在日常生活中起着重要的作用。
与汽车相比,自行车有许多优点。首先,他们不是很昂贵的汽车,几乎家家都能买得起和修理它们。其次,骑自行车是一种健康的运动。他们对我们的健康有益。第三,自行车可以节约能源,不会造成任何污染,而汽车会造成严重的空气污染,使我们生活的地方的空气变得非常脏,使很多人患有肺癌。我们都知道,中国是一个人口众多的国家。如果每个家庭都有一辆汽车,就会浪费掉大量的能源,而且空气污染会越来越严重。最后,大多数中国人不远离他们工作或学习生活,骑自行车很方便。我认为这就是自行车在中国大量使用的原因。
自行车在中国如此受欢迎,中国通常被称为自行车王国。我希望越来越多的`人可以骑自行车为了让我们的地球更好的和更清洁的。
