翻譯:老故事咂出新滋味
鐵杵磨成針的故事告訴我們:白費(fèi)力氣的事盡管感人但卻是可笑的。明明買根針就能做活,非要用根大鐵棒磨它個(gè)三年兩載。方向和方法錯(cuò)了,功夫下的再深也不行。
三顧茅廬的故事告訴我們:機(jī)遇是等來的。如果孔明先生主動(dòng)上門求職,就不見得有這樣的效果。不過,這話只適合古代,現(xiàn)代人即使比孔明的本事大十倍,坐在家里干等也不見得有機(jī)遇出現(xiàn)。天知道重視人才的觀念是進(jìn)步了還是退步了。
龜兔賽跑的故事告訴我們:永遠(yuǎn)不要以己之短比別人之長(zhǎng),更不要因一時(shí)的僥幸成功把短當(dāng)成長(zhǎng)。如果是烏龜,可以跟兔子比潛水,也可以跟兔子比長(zhǎng)壽,這才是烏龜?shù)膹?qiáng)項(xiàng)。
井底的之蛙故事告訴我們:什么樣的環(huán)境早就什么樣的人生,反過來也同樣,什么樣的人生適合什么樣的環(huán)境。別指責(zé)青蛙的短淺愚昧,因?yàn)橥芙^不可能從井底遷到東海生存。如果蛙受了教育啟發(fā),從此志在東海,那只有徒增煩惱了。
武松打虎的故事告訴我們:英雄有時(shí)是被逼出來的。武松膽兒再大也是正常人,沒有人不拍老虎的道理。要不是犟脾氣加上十五碗小酒,決不回去做打虎的壯舉。其實(shí)他也沒想到會(huì)遇上老虎,真的遇上反而酒都被嚇醒了,說明他并不是真的想當(dāng)英雄。不是他死就是虎亡,他把自己逼成了英雄,F(xiàn)實(shí)的很多典型與此很類似,每一個(gè)英雄的出現(xiàn)都是有前提的。
螳臂當(dāng)車的故事告訴我們:即便粉身碎骨,也要為改變現(xiàn)狀做一些看似無效的努力。也許,當(dāng)輪前的螳臂多了,車會(huì)慢下來或者停下來。
