展示自我,“英”我而美。今天三年级10班的余逸洋小同学给大家带来英文版“画龙点睛”的故事——《Putting the Finishing Touch to the Picture of a Dragon》。
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties Period, there was a painter called Zhang Sengyao.南北朝时期,有一位画家名叫张僧繇(yáo)。
Once, he visited a temple and painted four dragons on the wall, but he gave none of them eyes.有一次,他参观了一座寺庙并在墙上画了四条龙,但没有给它们画眼睛。
Onlookers asked why he hadn't painted the eyes.围观者问他为什么不画眼睛。
He answered: "Eyes are crucial for dragons. With the eyes painted on, the dragons would fly away."他回答:“眼睛对龙很重要,画上眼睛,龙就会飞走。”
Nobody believed this, so he added eyes to two of the dragons.
没人相信,所以他给其中两条龙加上了眼睛。
The two dragons flew into the sky,but the two without eyes remained on the wall.这两条龙飞上了天空,但另外两条没有眼睛的龙仍然在墙上。
这个故事告诉我们在处理问题、解决问题的时候,要学会抓住问题的关键,才能解决问题,不要弄巧成拙,画蛇添足。
同学们觉得这个故事怎么样?来吧!一起加入魅力英语秀场,勇敢展示自我吧!
