庖丁为梁惠王宰牛。手到的时候，肩倚的时候，脚踩的时候，膝顶的时候，那声音十分和谐，就跟美妙的音乐一样，合于尧时的《经首》旋律;那动作也很有节奏，就像优美的《桑林》舞蹈。
梁惠王看得出了神，称赞说：“哈，好啊!你的技术是怎么达到这样高超的地步的呢?”
庖丁放下刀对梁惠王说：“我喜欢探求的是道，比一般的技术又进了一步。我开始解剖牛的时候，看到的无非是一头整牛，不知道牛身体的内部结构，不知道从什么地方下手。三年以后，我眼前出现的是牛的骨缝空隙，就不再是一头整牛。到了今天，我宰牛就全凭感觉了，不需要再用眼睛看来看去，就能知道刀应该怎么运作。牛的肌体组织结构都是有一定规律的，我进刀的地方都是肌肉和筋骨的缝隙，从不碰牛的骨头，更不消说碰大骨头了。技术高明的厨师，一年换一把刀，因为他是用刀割。一般的厨师，一个月就更换一把刀，因为他是用刀砍。而我宰牛的这把刀，已经用了十九年;所宰的牛，又经有几千头，然而刀口锋利得仍然像刚在磨石上磨过的一样。这是为什么呢?就因为牛的肌体组织结构之间有空隙，而刀口与这些空隙比起来，薄得好像一点厚度也没有。用没有厚度的刀在有空隙的肌体组织间运行，当然绰绰有余罗!所以十九年过去，我的刀还跟新的一样。虽然我的技术已达到了这种程度，但我在解剖牛的时候，还是丝毫不敢马虎，总是小心翼翼，心神专注，进刀时不匆忙，用力时不过猛，牛体迎刃而解，牛肉就像一摊泥土一样从骨架上滑落到地上。这时，我才松下一口气来，提刀站立，顾视一下四周，心满意足地把刀揩拭干净，收藏起来。”
梁惠王听了，高兴地说：“好极了，听了你的这一席话，我从中悟到了修身养性的道理。”
晏子将要出使楚国。楚王得知这个消息后，对左右的大臣说：“晏婴是齐国能言善辩的人，如今到来我国，我想羞辱他一番，大家看用什么办法好?”
有个大臣献计说：“他来了以后，请绑一个人从大王面前走过。大王问：’他是哪里的人?’回答说：’是楚国人。’大王再问：’他犯了什么罪?’回答说：’他犯了盗窃的罪。’”楚王觉得这个主意不错。
晏婴来到楚国，楚王用酒招待他。宾主正喝到兴头上，两名小吏捆着一个人来到楚王面前。
楚王故意问：“这捆着的是个什么人?”出国留学网
小吏回答：“是个齐国人。因为盗窃犯了罪。”
楚王转过头来望着晏婴说：“齐国人生来就喜欢偷盗吗?”
晏子离开座位，走到楚王面前，回答说：“我听说，橘树生长在淮河以南就结橘子，如果生长在淮河以北，就会结出枳子。橘子和枳子，叶子差不多，但果实的味道却不一样。这是为什么呢?因为水土不同啊。现在捉到的这个人，生活在齐国的时候，并没有盗窃的行为，来到楚国以后却偷盗起来，难道是因为楚国的水土容易使人变成小偷吗?”
楚王听了，尴尬地笑着说：“圣贤的人是不可戏弄呀!我反而是自讨没趣了。”
中国寓言故事精选阅读
小偷退齐兵
子发是楚国的一位将领，他很注意有一技之长的人，善于利用这些人的长处为自己服务。楚国有一位擅偷窃的人听说了这件事，便去投靠子发，小偷对子发说：“听说您愿起用有技艺的人，我是个小偷，以前不务正业，如果您能收留我，我愿为您当差，以我的技艺为您服务。”
子发听小偷这么说，又见他满脸诚意，很是高兴，连忙从座位上起身，对小偷以礼相待，竟连腰带也顾不上系紧、帽子也来不及戴端正。小偷见子发果然是真心，简直是受宠若惊了。
子发手下的官员、侍从们都劝谏说：“小偷是天下的盗贼，为人们所不齿，您怎么对他如此尊重?”
子发摆摆手说：“你们一时难以理解，以后就会明白的，我自有道理。”
适逢齐国兴兵攻打楚国，楚王派子发率军队前去迎战齐兵。结果，连续交锋3次，楚军都败下阵来。
军帐内，子发召集大小将领商议退齐兵的策略，将领们想了好多计策，个个忠诚无比，可是对击退齐兵却一筹莫展，而齐兵反而愈战愈强。
面对紧张的形势，那个小偷来到帐前求见，主动请缨。小偷说：“我有个办法，请让我去试试吧。”子发同意了。
夜间，小偷溜进齐军营内，神不知鬼不觉地将齐将首领的帷帐偷了出来，回到楚营交给子发。子发便派了一个使者将帷帐送还齐营并对齐军说：“我们有一个士兵出去砍柴，得到了将军的帷帐，现特前来送还。”齐兵面面相觑，目瞪口呆。
第二天，小偷又潜进齐营，取回齐军首领的枕头。子发又派人送还。
第三天，小偷第三次进了齐营，取回来齐军首领的头发簪子。子发第三次派人将簪子送还，这一回，齐军首领惊恐万分不知所措。齐军营中议论纷纷，各级将领大为惊骇。于是，齐军首领召集军中将士们商议对策。首领对大家说：“今天再不退兵，楚军只怕要取我的头了!”将士们无言以对，首领立即下令撤军。
齐军终于退兵而走。楚营内大大嘉奖那个立功的小偷，众将士无不佩服子发的用人之道。
小偷，如果损害社会人民，的确该绳之以法;如果改邪归正，把技艺特长用到有益的地方，有时也能干出大事来。
牛缺遇盗
牛缺，在上地这一带地方是位声望很高的饱学之士。有一次，他要去邯郸拜见赵国国君，途经耦(ou)沙时，遇上了一伙强盗。强盗抢走了他的牛车及随身衣物，他只好步行。强盗在一旁看到这人对被劫之事并不在意，脸上连半点忧愁和吝啬的表情都没有，心中不免生疑，于是便追上去问个究竟。
牛缺坦然地回答说：“一个有德行的人，不应当因丢失一点供养自己的财物而去与人争斗，这样会危害它所供养的自身的安全啊。”
强盗们听后，同声称赞道：“这真是一个贤德之人啊!”他们望着牛缺渐走远的背景，忍不住又商议：“如此贤德之人去拜见赵国的国君，必会受到信用，他如果在国君面前告发了我们的强盗行径，我们一定会大难临头。因此，还不如先下手为强。”于是，这伙强盗再一次追上牛缺，并把他杀掉了。
有个燕国人听说了这件事后，就将全家族的人集合起来，告诫他们：“今后谁遇上了强盗，可千万别学牛缺那样以贤德求忍让呀!”大家都牢牢记住了这个教训。
不久，这个燕国人的弟弟要到秦国去，一行人来到函谷关下，又遇上了强盗。他想起了哥哥临别时的告诫，始终不肯轻易舍弃财物，在实在斗不过这伙强人时，他又跪在地上，低三下四地哀求强盗以慈善为本，发还抢走的财物。
强盗们被纠缠得大怒了，忍不住厉声喝道：“我们没有要你的性命，就已经够宽宏大量了。你现在还要死死地缠住我们，索要财物，这不就把我们的行迹暴露了吗?我们既然已经作了强盗，哪里还有什么慈悲仁义可言?”只见这伙人手起刀落，将那个燕国人的弟弟杀了，同时还杀害了与之同行的四五个伙伴。
牛缺与燕人被害的悲剧警醒后人：对于杀人不眨眼的强盗，既不能讲“贤德”，也不能苦苦哀求;只有丢掉幻想，团结斗争，战而胜之，才是唯一正确的选择。
支公养仙鹤
古时候有个叫支公的人，非常喜欢仙鹤。他常爱到仙鹤出没的地方，远远地欣赏仙鹤吃东西、散步时的一举一动，简直看得入了迷。他常常想：要是能有仙鹤长久为伴，那该多好啊!
终于，在支公搬到剡(shan)溪东峁(mao)山居住的时候，一位深知支公爱好的老朋友给他送来了一对仙鹤。支公高兴极了，像对待自己的儿女一般对待仙鹤，给它们吃上好的食物，细心照料它们的起居，高兴的时候，支公还常把仙鹤搂在怀里跟它们说话。仙鹤的活泼可爱也使支公的晚年一点都不寂寞，它们给支公作伴，跳舞给支公看，时间久了，支公和仙鹤的感情越来越深厚。
时光飞逝，仙鹤的羽毛很快长齐了，它们天天扑棱着翅膀，想飞到属于它们的遥远的地方去。支公实在是舍不得仙鹤离开，犹豫再三，还是用剪刀把仙鹤的翅膀剪短了。
这下子仙鹤真的没有办法飞起来了。它们总是先扑打一阵翅膀，然后又回头看看，接着就沮丧地低下头，无精打采地走来走去。仙鹤再也不像以前那样欢叫起舞了，没有了活力，没有了生气，连眼睛都一天天地暗淡下去了。
支公对这一切看在眼里，疼在心里。他后悔极了，告诉自己说：“既然仙鹤有直上云霄，去见识更广阔的天空的志向，我又怎么能强行把它们留在我跟前，只供自己观赏呢?”
支公从此更加精心地饲养两只仙鹤，让它们的翅膀很快又长齐了。于是支公就带着仙鹤来到野外，把它们放到地上，依依不舍地对它们说：“仙鹤啊，快飞吧，到远方去实现你们的理想去吧!”仙鹤拍打着翅膀飞上蓝天，鸣叫着在支公头上盘旋了几圈，好像在感谢他的恩情，然后自由自在地向遥远的天边飞去了。
支公虽然舍不得仙鹤，但他理解仙鹤的志向，最终放了仙鹤，这才是真正的爱鹤。同样道理，真正爱惜有才能的`人，就应该给他们施展身手的空间，不要把他们规定在狭隘的小圈子里面。
毕歆与王朗
华歆(xin)与王朗是一对好朋友，两个人都很有学识，德行也受到大家的称赞，分不出谁好一些，谁差一点。
有一年，洪水泛滥，淹没了许多村庄和大片的良田，百姓叫苦连天。华歆和王朗的家乡也遭了灾，房子都被大水冲走了，盗贼也趁火打劫，四下作案，很不太平。无奈，华歆和王朗只得和别的几个邻居一起坐了船去逃难。
船上的人都到齐了，物品也装妥了，马上就要解缆离岸出发。这时候，远处忽然奔过来一个人，他背着包袱跑得气喘吁吁，大汗淋漓。这个人也顾不得擦汗，一边朝这边挥手一边扯开嗓子大叫道：“先别开船，等等我，等等我呀!”
这人好不容易跑到船跟前，上气不接下气地说：“船都被人叫完了，没有人肯收留我，我远远看到这边还有一条……船，就跑过来……求求你们……带上我……一起走吧……”
华歆听了，皱起眉头想了想，对这个人说：“对不起得很，我们的船也已经满了，你还是再去另想办法吧。”
王朗却很大方，责备华歆说：“华歆兄，你怎么这样小气，船上还很宽裕嘛，见死不救可不是君子所为，带上人家吧。”
华歆见王朗这样说，就不再坚持自己的意见，略微沉思片刻，答应了那人的请求。
华歆、王朗他们的船平安地走了没几天，就碰上了盗贼。盗贼们划船追过来，眼看越追越近了，船上的人们都惊慌不已，不知该怎么办好，拼命地催促船家快些、再快些。
王朗也害怕得不行，他找华歆商量说：“现在我们遇上盗贼，情况紧急，船上人多了没有办法跑得更快。不如我们叫后上船的那个人下去吧，也好减轻些船的重量。”
华歆听了，严肃地回答道：“开始的时候，我考虑良久，犹豫再三，就是怕人多了行船不便，弄不好会误事，所以才拒绝人家。可是现在既然已经答应了人家，怎么能够又出尔反尔，因为情况紧急就把人家甩掉呢?”
王朗听了这番话，面红耳赤，羞愧得说不出话来。在华歆的坚持下，他们还是像当初一样，携带着那个后上船的人，始终没有抛弃他。而他们的船也终于在大家的共同努力下，摆脱了盗贼，安全地到达了目的地。
王朗表面上大方，实际上是在不涉及自己利益的情况下送人情。一旦与自己的利益发生矛盾，他就露出了极端自私、背信弃义的真面孔。而华歆则一诺千金，不轻易承诺，一旦承诺就一定要遵守。我们应该向华歆学习，守信用、讲道义，像王朗那样的德行，是应该被人们所鄙弃的。
King Hui of Liang watched the cook dissecting an ox. Up went his hand, down went the knife, cutting it just right with dexterous movements. The King praised:
梁惠王看厄丁解牛，手起刀落，动作利索，恰到好处，连声夸奖说
“Your skill is excellent!”
“你的技术真是太好了!”
The cook answered:
厄丁答道:
“1 can do it so dexterously because I am familiar with the physiological structure of the ox. I see perfectly well each and every part of the ox which is no longer a whole ox to me. I have a clear mental picture of where its joints and main and collateral channels are, and know exactly where to start cutting and how much force is needed.”
“我所以能干得这样利索，是因为熟悉牛的生理结构。现在，我看到的牛已经不是一头全牛了:哪里是关节?哪里有经络?从哪里下刀?需要用多大的力气?我胸中有数，眼前清清楚楚。”
The cook continued:
厄丁接着说:
“The knives of others become blunt after being used for a short time, whereas I have used my knife for 19 years and slaughtered nearly 1,000 oxen, and it is still as sharp as a new one. However, when I come across a complicated structure, I would be cautious and conscientious and dare not be the least negligent. I cut swiftly but lightly with great concentration and care.
“别人的牛刀，用不了多久就会钝掉，而我这把刀已经用了十九年，宰了上千头牛，但是还同新刀一样锋利。不过，如果碰到错综复杂的.结构，我还是兢兢业业，丝毫不敢怠慢，动作很快，下刀却很轻，聚精会神，小心翼翼。”
After hearing this, King Hui of Liang said:
梁惠王听后说:
”What you said is wonderful!From you I have learned the way of cultivating my mind and developing my character.“
“你说得好极了!我从你这里悟到了修身养性的道理。”
A story is told of a king who went into his garden one morning, and found everything withered and dying.
这个故事是这样的：一个国王清晨走迸花园，发现所有的草 木已经枯萎，奄奄一息了。
He asked the oak that stood near the gate what the trouble was.
于是，他问门边的橡树究竟发生了什么事。
He found it was sick of life and determined to die because it was not tall and beautiful like the pine.
原来是它们消极 厌世、一心求死，因为橡树觉得自己不如松树般高大、秀丽：
The pine was all out of heart because it could not bear grapes, like the vine.
而松树为自己不如葡萄藤那般结满丰硕的果实而沮丧：
The vine was going to throw its life away because it could not stand erect and have as fine fruit as the peach tree.
葡萄藤则为自己无法直立，并且无法像桃树那样结出上好的果实而想结束生命
The geranium was fretting because it was not tall and fragrant like the lilac…and so on all through the garden.
天竺葵也焦躁不安，因为它觉得自己不如紫丁香那样修长、芳香……于是，整个花园都了无生气。
Coming to a heart’s-ease, he found its bright face lifted as cheery as ever.
国王走到一株心安草面前，发现它仍然神采奕奕，如从前般欢乐。
”Well, heart’s-ease, I’m glad, amidst all this discouragement, to find one brave little flower. You do not seem to be the (east disheartened.“
¨你好，心安草，我感到非常高兴，所有的草木都对自己失去 了信心，只有你能勇敢地生活，没有丝毫气馁。¨
”No, I am not of much account, but I thought that if You wanted an oak, or a pine, or a vine, or a peach tree, or a geranium, or a lilac, you would have planted one; but as I knew you wanted a heart’s-ease, I am determined to be the best little heart’s-ease that I can.
¨虽然我并没有什么值得骄傲的东西，但我想，如果你想要一 棵橡树，或松树、葡萄，或桃树、天竺葵、丁香，你就会去种它 们，而我知道你想要一株心安草，所以我决心尽我所能做一株最 好的心安草。“
Handan was the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period.
邯郸，是战国时期赵国的首都。
A young man in the State of Yan heard that the State of Zhao was more powerful than the State of Yan, so he was much interested in the State of Zhao. Consequently, he crossed over mountain after mountain by himself and got to Handan.
燕国有个青年听说赵国比燕国强大，对赵国很感兴趣。于是，他一个人翻山越岭，来到了邯郸。
Upon arrival at Handan, he felt that the State of Zhao was indeed more stable than the State of Yan. Even the way of walking of the people of the State of Zhao looked better than that of the people of the State of Yan. He made up his mind to learn how the people of the State of Zhao walked in Handan, so that in the future the people of the State of Yan could walk as gracefully as them.
到了邯郸，他觉得赵国确实比燕国安定，连赵国人走路的姿势都比燕国人好看。他决定在邯郸学会赵国人走路，将来让燕国人走路也能像赵国人一样好看。
Yet, that was easier said than done. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to learn the gait of the people of the State of Zhao. On the contrary, he even forgot completely how he walked in the State of Yan. In the end, he had no alternative but to crawl back from the State of Zhao to the State of Yan.
可是，说起来容易做起来难。这个青年怎么学也没有学会赵国人走路的姿势，反而连自己在燕国时如何走路也忘得干干净净。最后，池没有办法，只好爬着离开赵国回燕国去了。
A RICH Woman having returned from abroad disembarked at the foot of Knee-deep Street, and was about to walk to her hotel through the mud.
”Madam,“ said a Policeman, ”I cannot permit you to do that; you would soil your shoes and stockings.“
”Oh, that is of no importance, really,“ replied the Rich Woman, with a cheerful smile.
”But, madam, it is needless; from the wharf to the hotel, as you observe, extends an unbroken line of prostrate newspaper men who
crave the honour of having you walk upon them.“
”In that case,“ she said, seating herself in a doorway and unlocking her satchel, ”I shall have to put on my rubber boots.“

Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, “Who has ever seen a snake with feet?” The story of “Draw a snake and add feet to It.” tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn’t this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.
Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor’s doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people’s attention as long as he touched the bell.

Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief.
