英语人教版六年级下册《塞翁失马》的故事寓意.doc

“塞翁失马”的故事在民间流传了千百年。它告诉我们，无论遇到福还是祸，要调整自己的心态，要超越时间和空间去观察问题，要考虑到事物有可能出现的极端变化。这样，无论福事变祸事，还是祸事变福事，都有足够的心理承受能力。 比喻一时虽然受到损失，也许反而因此能得到好处。也指坏事在一定条件下可变为好事。事物的福和祸在一定条件下可以互相转化，要以辩证的态度去看待。2主旨这个故事告诉我们人世间的好事与坏事都不是绝对的，有两面性，在一定的条件下，坏事可以引出好的结果，好事也可能会引出坏的结果。说明了好与坏在一定条件或情况下会相互转换，要用一颗平常心来看待祸福。寓意福与祸的转化，需要一定的条件，不能误解成福与祸的转化是必然的。如：家庭突遭打击、变故，陷入困境，这是祸。但如果能从容、镇静，在困境中拼搏、奋起，那么，这又不失为一种宝贵的精神财富。当然，在困境中一蹶不振，丧失信心，甚至失去生活勇气，这祸就只能是祸了。所以，要注意把握好转化的条件。blessing or bane 塞翁失马Near Chinas northern borders lived a man called Sai Weng.
