The Shu officials wept, while Liu Shan remained cheerful, showing no sign of sorrow for the fallen kingdom. 随后，司马昭又安排了蜀国的歌舞表演，蜀国的官员们泪流满面，而刘禅却笑容满面，没有一点亡国之恨。 Sima Zhao, seeing this, remarked to a Wei official, "Such heartlessness in a person! Even if Zhuge Liang were still alive, he could not long support such a ruler!" 司马昭看到这种情形，对魏国的一位大臣感叹道：“人情冷漠竟至如此！即使诸葛亮在世，也难以长期辅佐这样的国君啊！” He then asked Liu Shan, "Do you still miss Shu?" Liu Shan replied, "I am very happy here and do not miss Shu." 然后问刘禅：“你还想不想蜀国？”刘禅回答：“我在这里很快乐，不想蜀国！” Seeing Liu Shan’s response, the former Shu officials were naturally very anxious and saddened. 蜀国的旧臣们看到刘禅如此言行，自然十分焦虑和悲伤。 After a while, Liu Shan stood up to go to the bathroom, and the former Shu "Secretary Lang" Xie Zheng immediately followed him. 过了一会儿，刘禅起身离席去小便，原蜀国的“秘书郎”郤正立即跟了上去。 In the corridor, Xie Zheng secretly told him, "Your Majesty, how can you say you do not miss Shu? If Sima Zhao asks you again, you should cry and say: ‘I have not had a single day without missing Shu.’ This way, we might still have a chance to return." 在走廊里，偷偷对他说：“陛下怎么能说‘不想蜀国’呢？如果司马昭再问您是否想念蜀国，您应该哭着回答：‘我真是没有一天不想念蜀国呀。’这样，我们或许还有回到蜀国的希望。” Liu Shan remembered Xie Zheng’s words and returned to the banquet. 刘禅牢记了郤正的话，回到宴席上。Sure enough, Sima Zhao asked Liu Shan again if he missed Shu. Liu Shan followed Xie Zheng’s advice and replied with a show of sadness, but as he could not shed any tears, he just closed his eyes. 果然，司马昭再次问刘禅是否想念蜀国。刘禅依照郤正的教诲，故作悲伤地回答了一遍，但由于努力装出的悲情并未伴随眼泪，他只好闭上眼睛。 Sima Zhao guessed that Xie Zheng must have instructed Liu Shan, so he deliberately asked, "Why is your answer exactly the same as Xie Zheng’s?" 司马昭猜测这一定是郤正所教，便故意问道：“你这话怎么与郤正教的完全一样？” Liu Shan, taken aback, opened his eyes and said, "You are right, it was exactly Xie Zheng who instructed me to say so." 刘禅被问得暗自吃惊，睁开眼睛说道：“正是郤正教我如此回答的。” Sima Zhao and those present could not help but laugh, and the former Shu officials were even more enraged by Liu Shan’s incompetence. 司马昭和在场的人都忍不住笑了起来，而蜀国的旧臣们得知此事后，对刘禅的无能愈发感到愤恨。 Liu Shan, whose nickname was "A Dou," later became a term used to mock those who are incapable, inept, or unable to maintain their achievements, referred to as "A Dou" or "unable to uplift A Dou." 刘禅，小名“阿斗”，后来成为了人们讥讽那些无能、没出息、无法守成的代名词，称之为“阿斗”或“扶不起的阿斗”。 Later, people often use the term "lebu si Shu" (乐不思蜀) to describe those who find joy in a new environment, become content with their current situation, and forget their homeland or roots. 后来，人们常用“乐不思蜀”来形容那些在新环境中获得乐趣、安于现状、留恋异地而忘却故国或故土的人。 用英语讲中国故事二：A close friendship 胶漆相投 During the Han Dynasty, there were two very close friends named Lei Yi and Chen Chong.汉朝的时候，有一对很要好的朋友，一个叫雷义，另外一个叫陈重。 Their bond was even stronger than that of biological brothers. 雷义和陈重的感情比亲兄弟还要好。 One day, they both went to take an examination together. 有一次，他们两个人一起去参加考试， Lei Yi passed the exam, but Chen Chong did not. 雷义考上了，陈重却没考上。 Lei Yi thought to himself, “Chen Chong’s knowledge is better than mine, it’s such a pity that he didn’t pass!” 雷义心想：“陈重的学问比我好，居然没有考上，真的是太可惜了！” So, Lei Yi went to see the official in charge of the exam and said, “Sir, please transfer my title to Chen Chong; he is more deserving than I am!” 雷义就跑去找掌管考试的官员说：“大人，麻烦您将我的功名转给陈重，他比我优秀呀！” The official, of course, ignored him and said, “Nonsense, titles cannot be transferred like that.” 官员当然不理他：“胡闹，功名怎么可以随便转给别人呢？” Lei Yi was very disappointed and said, “In that case, I don’t want this title either!” 雷义心里好失望：“那我也不要这个功名了！” Lei Yi pretended to go mad and refused to take up his official duties, eventually being relieved of his title. 雷义就假装发疯不去做官，终于被解除了功名。 Years later, Lei Yi and Chen Chong took the exam again and this time, both of them passed.过了几年，雷义和陈重又一起去参加考试，这一次，他们两个都考上了， They were also fortunate to be assigned to work in the same place. 还很幸运地被派在同一个地方做事。 Lei Yi happily said to Chen Chong, “Chen Brother, please take care of me from now on.” 雷义高兴的对陈重说：“陈兄，以后又要麻烦你多照顾了。” Chen Chong replied, “Lei Brother, you’re joking. It’s you who have been taking care of me!”陈重说：“雷兄，您说笑了，都是您在照顾我呀！” Both of them were delighted to work together, and their friendship grew even stronger. 两个人很开心能在一起工作，感情变得更好呢！ Everyone who saw their friendship said, “Glue and lacquer bind strongly together, but it still can’t compare to the deep friendship between Lei Yi and Chen Chong!” 大家看到他们感情这么好，都说：“胶和漆凝聚在一起很坚固，不过还是比不上雷义和陈重的深厚友谊呀！” Later, this story inspired the idiom “胶漆相投,” which describes the deep friendship between good friends, as solid as the bond between glue and lacquer. 后来，有人就把这件事变成“胶漆相投”这句成语，用来形容好朋友间的深厚 用英语讲中国故事三：Grinding an iron pestle into a needle 铁杵磨针 Li Bai, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, did not like studying when he was young and often skipped school to wander the streets. 唐朝著名大诗人李白小时候不喜欢念书，常常逃学，到街上去闲逛。 One day, as Li Bai was wandering around, he found himself outside the city. 一天，李白又没有去上学，在街上东溜溜、西看看，不知不觉到了城外。 He was captivated by the warm sunshine, cheerful birds, and the flowers swaying in the wind, and thought to himself, “What a wonderful day; it would be so dull to stay indoors all day reading.” 暖和的阳光、欢快的小鸟、随风摇摆的花草使李白感叹不已，“这么好的天气，如果整天在屋里读书多没意思？” As he walked, he came across an old woman with white hair sitting in front of a dilapidated cottage, grinding an iron pestle as thick as a pole. 走着走着，在一个破茅屋门口，坐着一个满头白发的老婆婆，正在磨一根棍子般粗的铁杵。 Li Bai approached her and asked, “Grandma, what are you doing?” 李白走过去，“老婆婆，您在做什么？” “I’m grinding this iron pestle to make it into a sewing needle,” the old woman replied, looking up and smiling at Li Bai before returning to her task.“我要把这根铁杵磨成一个绣花针。”老婆婆抬起头，对李白笑了笑，接着又低下头继续磨着。 “A sewing needle?” Li Bai asked again, “You mean a needle for sewing clothes?” “绣花针？”李白又问：“是缝衣服用的绣花针吗？” “Of course!”“当然！” “But this iron pestle is so thick; how could it ever become a delicate needle?”“可是，铁杵这么粗，什么时候能磨成细细的绣花针呢？” The old woman replied, “Just as dripping water can wear through stone and the Foolish Old Man can move mountains, why can’t this iron pestle be ground into a sewing needle?” 老婆婆反问李白：“滴水可以穿石，愚公可以移山，铁杵为什么不能磨成绣花针呢？” “But you are already so old,” Li Bai remarked. “可是，您的年纪这么大了？” “As long as I put in more effort than others, there’s nothing I can’t achieve.” “只要我下的功夫比别人深，没有做不到的事情。” The old woman’s words made Li Bai feel deeply ashamed, and from then on, he never skipped school again. 老婆婆的一番话，令李白很惭愧，于是回去之后，再没有逃过学。 He devoted himself to his studies every day and eventually became a renowned poet known throughout the ages. 每天的学习也特别用功，终于成了名垂千古的诗仙。 The Chinese idiom "铁杵磨针" (tiě chǔ mó zhēn) literally means "grinding an iron pestle into a needle" and is used to metaphorically indicate that with determination and persistent effort, even the most difficult tasks can be accomplished. It originates from the Southern Song Dynasty work "Fāng Yú Shèng Lǎn" by Zhu Mu. 铁杵磨针，汉语成语，拼音是tiě chǔ mó zhēn ，比喻只要有决心，肯下工夫，多么难的事情也能做成功。出自南宋祝穆的《方舆胜览》 。 原文：磨针溪，在象耳山下。世传李太白读书山中，未成，弃去。过是溪，逢老媪方磨铁杵，问之，曰：“欲作针。”太白感其意，还卒业。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
