［成语学习］井底之蛙

[shusheng]

“井底之蛙”是《庄子 秋水篇》里面讲到的一个故事。

公子牟隐机大息，仰天而笑曰：“子独不闻夫?井之蛙乎？谓东海之鳖曰 ：‘吾乐与！出跳梁乎井干之上，入休乎缺?之崖。赴水则接腋持颐，蹶泥则没足灭跗。还腿蟹与科斗，莫吾能若也。且夫擅一壑之水，而 跨畚?井之乐，此亦至矣。夫子奚不时来入观乎？’东海之鳖左足未入 ，而右膝已絷矣。于是逡巡而却，告之海曰：‘夫千里之远，不足以 举其大；千仞之高，不足以极其深。禹之时，十年九潦，而水弗为加 益；汤之时，八年七旱，而崖不为加损。夫不为顷久推移，不以多少 进退者，此亦东海之大乐也。’于是?井之蛙闻之，适适然惊，规规然自失也。


翻成白话文，是这样的

一日，一只浅井的青蛙见到一只东海大鳖，便兴致勃勃地对它说：“我可快乐啦！出来就在井栏边跳来跳去，进去就在井壁砖缝中休息；跳入井中，水就泡着我的两腋和腮；游到浅处，泥汤就没了我的脚。我独占一井之水，螃蟹和蝌蚪都没法跟我相比，你何不也下来看看？”东海之鳖来到井边，左脚还没进去，石膝已经被卡住了。东海之鳖慢慢退了出去，然后对这只浅井青蛙讲述了大海的样子：“用千里之遥这样的字眼儿，不足以说明大海的广阔；用千仞之高这样的词，不足以量尽它的深度。大禹时十年九涝，海水没显出增加了多少；商汤时八年七早，海水也并不见减少多少……”浅井的青蛙听得目瞪口呆，惊恐万分，茫茫然若有所失，它何尝想到还有比它的一方水井更大的世界呢!

这个寓言故事流传很广，这个是英文版。

The Frog in the Well

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well.

" Look how well off I am here ! " he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. " I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, What more can a fellow ask ? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time ? "

Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right calw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog.

" It's more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased.

And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the ocean never grew less. It has remained quite constant throughtout the ages. That is why I like to live in the Eastern Ocean. "

Then the frog in the shallow well was silent and felt a little abashed.

其实井底蛙半的生活也不错，不用和别人比，自己过的开心快乐就好了。各有各的过法，各有所能，好像绿草姑娘的签名有一句是“石不能言最可人”，如果自己会几句蛙鸣鸟语就笑“石不能言”就浅薄可笑了，十几岁的小孩这样还可以说是不懂事。
