少儿成语双语故事:画蛇添足
【开心一刻】
Adding Feet to a Snake
画蛇添足
One day, Mr. Lion holds a party. Many animals come and drink a lot
of wine.
一天,狮子先生举行一场聚会,许多动物都来了,他们喝很多酒。
At last there is a pot of wine. Who can drink it?
最后只剩一壶酒了。让谁喝呢?
They drink out an idea and decide to have a match-Draw a snake.If
you finish first, you can get it.
它们想了想,有了一个主意。它们比赛画蛇,谁最快画好,谁就喝这壶
酒。
Soon Mr.Wolf finishes drawing.
不一会,狼先生画好了。
"Yeah, I've finished. I'm No.1," he says.
"哈,我画好了,我是第一个。"它说。
But he draws again and says, "Oh, let me add feet and my snake."
可是它又画了起来,它还说:"再给它加几只脚吧。"
At the time, Mr. Gorilla also finishes.
这时猩猩先生也画好了。
He takes away the pot of wine and drinks, then he says, "That isn't a
snake. Snakes have no feet. I get the wine.
"它拿起那酒壶喝起来。一边喝一边说:"那不是蛇,蛇是没有脚的,我
赢了这壶酒。"
【成语起源】
In the Warring States Period (zhàn guó 战国,475-221BC), a man in the
State of Chu (chǔ guǒ 楚国) was offering a sacrifice to his ancestors.
战国时代有个楚国人祭他的祖先。
After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants.
仪式结束后,他拿出一壶酒赏给手下的几个人。
The servants thought that there was not enough wine for all them,
and decided to each draw a picture of a snake; the one who finished the
picture first would get the wine. One of them drew very rapidly.Seeing
that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake.
大家商量说: “我们都来画蛇,谁先画好谁就喝这壶酒。”其中有一个人
先画好 了。但他看到同伴还没有画完,就又给蛇添上了脚。
At this moment another man finished, snatched the beaker and
drank the wine, saying, 'A snake doesn't have feet. How can you add feet
to a snake?
这时,另一个人也画好了,夺过酒壶吧酒喝了,并且说:“蛇本来是没有
脚的,你怎么能给它添上脚呢?”
This idiom refers to ruining a venture by doing unnecessary and
surplus things.
“画蛇添足”这个成语比喻做了多余而不恰当的事,反而把事情弄糟了。
睡前英语小故事:口干舌燥的乌鸦
The thirsty crow 口干舌燥的乌鸦
There once lived a young crow in the countryside. One summer, there
was no rain and it was very hot. The crow was very thirsty, but he couldn't
find any water.
"How can I survive?" he thought. "I must have water or I'll die!"
Just then he saw a farmhouse. Outside the house, there was a vase
with some water at the bottom. He tried to drink, but he couldn't reach
the water inside.
The young crow didn't know what to do. He leaned against the vase
and cried.
"Will somebody please help me?" sobbed the crow. He cried and
cried, but nobody heard him. Finally, he dried his eyes and stood up.
He tried knocking over the vase, but it was too heavy. Then he tried
breaking it, but he wasn't strong enough. Finally, he had a good idea. He
began dropping stones into the vase. The water slowly rose to the top. At
last, the crow could drink.
"What wonderful water!" said the crow. "I'm glad that I didn't waste
all my time by crying. Thinking is much better than crying!

英语补给站 Language Notes
(someone)must +v. or…(某人)必须……, 否则……
解析
must 之后要接原型动词,表示必须(做某事)的意思,跟 have to 意思相
近。
两者的差别在于:
Must 语气较强烈,用来表达说话者的主观想法或命令。
You must finish your homework tonight.
你今晚就必须把工作做完。(说话者强烈要求对方做某事)
have to 可指受到外在条件或约束影响而必须作某事。
I have to go now. Jim is waiting for me.
我必须要走了。吉姆在等我。(因为有人在等我而不得不先走)
or 在此为语气转折的连词,指否则;要不然。
You must study hard or you’ll fail.
你必须用功读书,要不然就会被當掉。
