守株待兔 (Staying by a Stump Waiting for More Hares)
There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在戰(zhàn)國時(shí)代的宋國,有一個(gè)農(nóng)民,每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景,也不過剛剛吃飽穿暖;要是遇到災(zāi)荒,他就得忍饑挨餓了.他很想能過上好一點(diǎn)的日子,可是他太懶,膽子又特小,干什么都是又懶又怕的,總是想著能碰到送上門來的意外之財(cái)就好了。
奇跡終于發(fā)生了。一天,他正在田里干活,一群打獵的人靠近了。吆喝之聲四處起伏,受驚的小動(dòng)物們沒命地奔跑。突然, 有一只兔子,不偏不倚,一頭撞死在他田邊的樹根上。
這天,他美美地飽餐了一頓。
從此,他就不再種地了,一天到晚守著那個(gè)神奇的樹根,等著奇跡再次出現(xiàn)。
人們后來就常用“守株待兔”這個(gè)成語來形容那些老夢(mèng)想著不耕種就會(huì)有收獲的人。

守株待兔這個(gè)寓言故事告訴我們:
不勞而獲,天上掉餡餅的事情是不可能發(fā)生的。把偶然事件當(dāng)成必然性事件是十分愚蠢的。主要諷刺的是那些不通過自己的`勞動(dòng)、努力,卻還想有回報(bào)的人.同時(shí)也說明當(dāng)時(shí)政策的腐敗,諷刺官員的愚笨。
這個(gè)寓言故事比喻不主動(dòng)努力,而存萬一的僥幸心理,希望得到意外的收獲。主要告訴我們的道理是:只有通過自己的勞動(dòng),才能有所收獲,否則終將一無所獲,留下終身遺憾。
