1.简单⼜有趣的英语故事 Making His Mark
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 stoppedmoving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat hadmoved but the sword had not. Isnt this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
楚国有个⼈坐船渡江时，他不⼩⼼把⾃⼰的⼀把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出⼀把⼩⼑，在宝剑落⽔的船舷上刻上⼀个记号。船靠岸后，那楚⼈⽴即从船上刻记号的地⽅跳下⽔去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢?船继续⾏驶，⽽宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。2.简单⼜有趣的英语故事

Long ago, there were four blind people. They wanted to know what elephants looked like. Because of the blindness,they could only touch the elephant.
从前，有四个盲⼈很想知道⼤象是什么样⼦，可他们看不见，只好⽤⼿摸。
The fat blind person touched the elephant’s ivory first. He said: “ Oh, I see! The elephant is big, thick and smooth, justlike the carrots.”
胖盲⼈先摸到了⼤象的⽛齿。他就说：“我知道了，⼤象就像⼀个⼜⼤、⼜粗、⼜光滑的⼤萝⼘。” The tall blind person touched the elephant’s ear and yelled: “ No, no, no. The elephant is a big fan!” ⾼个⼦盲⼈摸到的是⼤象的⽿朵。“不对，不对，⼤象明明是⼀把⼤蒲扇嘛!”
The short blind person touched the elephant’s leg. He said: “ You are all wrong! The elephant is a pillar.” 他⼤叫起来。“你们净瞎说，⼤象只是根⼤柱⼦。”原来矮个⼦盲⼈摸到了⼤象的腿。
The old blind person said: “ The elephant is not that big. It’s just like a rope.” He was touching the elephant’s tail.
⽽那位年⽼的盲⼈呢，却嘟嚷：“唉，⼤象哪有那么⼤，它只不过是⼀根草绳。”原来他摸到的是⼤象的尾巴。
The four blind people were arguing endlessly. Each of them said he himself was right. We all know that none of them isright.
四个盲⼈争吵不休，都说⾃⼰摸到的才是⼤象真正的样⼦。⽽实际上呢?他们⼀个也没说对。
这个故事告诉我们：不能只看到事物的⼀部分，⽽应看全局，那样才能全⾯和真实的了解事物的情况。
We should look at the whole picture instead of only seeing part of it. Only in that way can we fully and truly understandthe situation of things.4.简单⼜有趣的英语故事
