求“守株待兔”英文翻译

相传在战国时代宋国，有一个农民，日出而作，日落而息。遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖；一遇灾荒，可就要忍饥挨饿了。

Legend has it that in the Warring States Period of the Song Dynasty, there was a peasant who wrote at sunrise and died at sunset. In a good year, we have just eaten and clothed warmly; in a famine, we are going to starve.

他想改善生活，但他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕，总想碰到送上门来的意外之财。奇迹终于发生了。深秋的一天，他正在田里耕地，周围有人在打猎。

He wanted to improve his life, but he was too lazy, too timid, too lazy and afraid to do anything, and always wanted to encounter unexpected wealth. The miracle finally happened. One day in late autumn, he was plowing in the field, and people were hunting around him.

吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小野兽没命的奔跑。突然， 有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。

The voice of the cry rose and fell everywhere, and the frightened little beast ran desperately. Suddenly, a rabbit, impartial, hit his head on the root of a tree near his field.

当天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。 从此，他便不再种地。一天到晚，守着那神奇的树根，等着奇迹的出现。

On that day, he had a good meal. From then on, he stopped planting. From day to night, the magic tree roots, waiting for the miracle.

一、古文及译文

原文

宋人有耕者。田中有株，兔走触株，折颈而死。因释其耒而守株，冀复得兔。兔不可复得，而身为宋国笑。今欲以先王之政，治当世之民，皆守株之类也。 

译文

宋国有个农民，他的田地中有一截树桩。一天，一只跑得飞快的野兔撞在了树桩上，扭断了脖子死了。于是，农民便放下他的农具日日夜夜守在树桩子旁边，希望能再得到一只兔子。

然而野兔是不可能再次得到了，而他自己也被宋国人耻笑。而今居然想用过去的治国方略来治理当今的百姓，这都是在犯守株待兔一样的错误呀！

二、词语辨析

【语法】：连动式；作宾语、定语；含贬义

【正音】待：不能读作“dǎi”，而要读作“dài”。

【辨形】待：不能写作“侍”。

【辨字】株：不能写作“猪”。

【辨析】“守株待兔”和“刻舟求剑”，都含有“不知变通”之意。但“守株待兔”重在“守”和“待”，形容人不作主观努力，只是存在侥幸心理，想获得意外成功；而“刻舟求剑”偏重于“刻”和“求”，强调虽然主观上努力，但不了解情况变化，不知变通而采取错误方法。

春秋时代，宋国有个农夫，一天在耕田的时候，忽然跑来一只兔子，恰好碰在树桩上，脖子折断死了。农夫把兔子拾回家去，美美地吃了一顿兔肉。晚上他想：“我何必辛辛苦苦的种地呢？每天在树下能捡到一只兔子就够我吃的了。”于是他从此不再耕种，每天坐在树下等待兔子的到来。

这个成语，讥笑那些不想经过努力，存在侥幸心理，希望得到意外收获的人。

Sitting by a Stump, Waiting for a Careless Hare

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a former in the state of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump accidentally and break its neck. The former 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." So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for the rabbits to come and run into it.

This idiom satirizes those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.
