小学英语成语故事【三篇】 【篇1】 Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals. 汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，所以，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉一种主管地方吏任免的官职。 Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward. 有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会所以招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。 For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks. 从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！” This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase the latecomers surpass the old-timers to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. 故事出自史记汲郑列传。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的能够胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。 词汇学习： policy of benevolence仁政 Confucianism孔教，儒教; 孔子学说，儒教，儒家 no need用不着 avaricious vris贪婪的，贪得无厌的; at court当庭 because of因为，因为; 基于 a little少量地，稍许地; 少量的，稍许的 【篇2】 one summer night, when the moon was very bright he suddenly saw a girl descending（下降） slowly from the sky. he observed the girl closely, and found that the dress she was wearing was seamless（无缝的） . he was puzzled, and asked why. the girl answered,heavenly clothes are not sewn with needle and thread. 传说古代太原人郭翰在夏夜里乘凉，见一个仙女从天上下来，她身穿白衣，美丽绝伦。她告诉他她名叫织女。郭翰仔细欣赏织女的衣裳浑然一体，竟看不出一丝线缝，好奇问织女。织女答道：“天衣本非针线为也。” this idiom is used metaphorically to indicate the flawless handling of things. it can also be used to indicate a perfectly written poem or other literary article. 神话传说，仙女的衣服没有衣缝。比喻事物周密完善，找不出什么毛病。 词汇学习： summer night夏夜 bright brat 明亮的，晴朗的 descend dsnd 下来；下去；下降 puzzled困惑的，糊涂的，茫然的; ( puzzle的过去式)使迷惑，使难解; 谜，难题 heavenly hvnl天国的; 神圣的; sewn s缝( sew的过去分词 ) idiom dm 习语，成语; 方言， metaphorically比喻地，隐喻地 be used to习惯于，适用于 poem pm诗; 韵文 【篇3】 Gong Mingyi was a famous musician in ancient times, who played the lute very well. 公明仪是古代一位很有名的音乐家，弹得一手好琴。 One day, while playing the lute indoors, Gong Mingyi saw a cow eating grass leisurely outside the window. He had a sudden whim to play some melodies for the cow. He first played the Exercise of Qing Jiao, but the cow still kept on eating grass with head lowered. He seemed to realize that the melody was too highbrow for the cow to understand. 有一天，他在室内弹琴，看见一头牛在窗外悠闲地吃着草。他忽然想弹几曲给牛听听。他先弹了一曲“清角之操”。不过，牛还是跟刚才一样，只顾低着头吃草。他似乎意识到，这支曲子太高雅了，牛没有听懂。 So he played several other melodies, imitating the buzzing sounds of swarms of flying mosquitoes, and the bleats of a calf looking for its companions. At this, to his surprise, the cow stopped eating gr
