Lord Ye often told people that he liked dragons, who could summon the wind and rain, were all powerful and ever- changing.He drew dragons all over pieces of paper and in books.He carved dragons on stones and walls, and he used the design of the Chinese character for “dragon”to decorate his roof and roads.

When the dragon arrived at Lord Ye's house,there were loud claps of thunder, the wind and rain whipped to and fro, and the earth and heavens shook. The dragon stretched his head into the living room, his body winding its way through seven or eight other rooms and its tail at the back door. When Lord Ye saw the huge body of the dragon, its hair like steel wire, its eyes like the devil's, and smelled its powerful, strange odor, he was so scared he started trembling and hid from the dragon. Moral: People's words are often not consistent with their actions, and facts and imagination are often not alike.What Lord Ye liked so much was the dragon in his imagination, so that when he came face to face with the real dragon he was scared away. lt is clear that he did not really like dragons. His thoughts and actions were quite different.In today's world, there are many people just like Lord Ye! 全文翻译 叶公好龙 春秋时期,楚国叶县有一位县令,人人都称他为“叶公”。 叶公经常对人说,他喜欢龙,因为龙能呼风唤雨,法力无边,变化莫测。他在纸上和书本上到处画满龙。他在石头和墙壁上雕刻龙,还用“龙”这个汉字来装饰自己的屋顶和道路。甚至连他自己的茶杯、筷子、枕头、毯子等等,都与龙有关。 他的三个儿子,一个名叫“大龙”,一个名叫“二龙”,一个名叫“三龙”。他的女儿名叫“龙女”。 叶公对龙的喜爱尤其感动了天上的真龙,于是真龙决定去叶公家喝杯茶,以便与他交朋友。 当龙抵达叶公的家时,雷声大作,风雨交加,天地为之震动。龙将头伸进了客厅,身体蜿蜒穿过了七、八个房间,尾巴却还留在后门口。 当叶公看到龙那庞大的身躯、钢丝般的毛发、魔鬼般的眼睛,并闻到它那股浓烈、怪异的气味时,他吓得浑身发抖,躲了起来。 寓意: 人们的言语常常与行动不一致,事实与想象也常常不相符。叶公所如此喜爱的是他想象中的龙,以至于当他面对真龙时,就被吓跑了。很明显,他并非真正喜欢龙。他的想法与行动大相径庭。在当今世界上,也有许多像叶公一样的人! 逐句解析与高频语块 1. 原文: During the Spring and Autumn period there was a magistrate in She County in the Kingdom of Chu whom everybody called "Lord Ye." 翻译: 春秋时期,楚国叶县有一位县令,人人都称他为“叶公”。 生词与语块: magistrate (n.) / m d stre t/: 地方行政官,县令。 There was...: 固定句式,表示“曾有…”或“有…”,用于讲述故事开头。 whom everybody called...: 定语从句,修饰magistrate,意为“人人都称呼他为…”。whom是关系代词,指代人,在从句中作宾语。 造句: There was a famous writer in our city whom everybody admired.
