  小学3年级英语故事:只要工夫深 铁杵磨成针

So long as you have put a great deal of effort, you can grind an iron rod into a needle-perseverance spells success.

This legend is about Li Bai, a great poet in Tang Dynasty. Li Bai was naughty and disliked study when he was a child. One day he saw an old woman grinding an iron rod on a big stone when he was playing by a river. Driven by curiosity, Li Bai came up and asked,

"What are you doing, granny?"

"Grinding an iron rod," said the old women without stopping grinding.

"Then what for?" he asked again.

"To make a sewing needle," was the answer.

"What?!" little Li Bai was puzzled, "You want to grind so big a rod into a needle? It will take many years."

"This doesn't matter. As long as I persevere in doing so, there is nothing you cannot achieve in the world. Certainly I can make a needle from the rod."

Deeply moved by what the old woman said, Li Bai took effort to study since then and finally became one of the greatest poets in China.

  小学3年级英语故事:熟能生巧

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground(操场,练兵场). He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler(小贩) only nodded his head indifferently(冷淡地). This hurt his Pride.

"Can you do this?" he asked the old oil peddler.

"No, I can't."

"What do you think of my skill?"

"Just OK, but nothing special. You've gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That's all."

"What can you do, then?"

The old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with acopper coin. He then scooped out a ladle(长柄勺) of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the bottle. Now, a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, "This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot." And with these words, he left.

Later, people use this phrase to mean "Practice makes perfect".

  小学3年级英语故事:一厢情愿

Many years ago, a farmer happened to see the King's daughter in the capital. He lost his heart to her at once. After returning, he missed the princess day and night. Soon, he was ill. His friends and relatives came to see him. When they knew the reason why the farmer was ill, they thought it was quite difficult to help the farmer, for the King would never consent to(同意,答应) his daughter marrying a poor man. But the sick man sighed sadly:"If I can't get the princess, I will be dead." His friends tried to persuade him, but in vain. So they had to play a trick.

Some days later, they came to see the man again and told him they had asked the princess to marry him, but she rejected. In fact, they had never done it. But the foolish man believed. However, he did not give up his mind. He announced:"If I visit the princess in person(亲自), she will say yes." If he did so, you can guess the result.

Later, people use it to describe the man who only considers his own aspiration, ignoring theobjective situation and others' opinions.

  小学3年级英语故事:刮目相看

Lv Meng was a general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms Period (220-180). He was born in such a poor family that he did not get any chance to go to the school when he was a child. However, there was still less time for reading when he served in the army after he grew up.

Once the king of Wu summoned Lv Meng and said to him, "Since you are now a general in power, you had better read some books to widen your horizon."

Lv Meng answered, "I am so busy with military affairs that I am afraid I have little time to read."

The King said, "Are you busier than I am? Even I often find time to read books on the art of war and gain much benefit from them. To read more about the experience left by our ancestors will make you progress."

Lv Meng then did according what the king said. He concentrated himself on reading history and military writings. On day, Military Governor Lu Su visited Lv Meng and was surprised to find that Lv Meng had become very knowledgeable. Lu Su, who held Lv Meng in contempt(轻视,蔑视) earlier, said, "I did not expect that you would know so much besides fighting! You are not the one you used to be!"

Lv Meng replied, "You should look at a person with a new eye even only after a three days' separation."

The idiom Gua mu xiang kan, also Gua mu xiang dai is from Lv Meng's remarks. We use it when we are astonished by others' fabulous(难以置信的) progress or improvement, and we should have increased respect for him or her.
