The Snow What a big snow I have never seen!What a beautiful snow I have never enjoy. When I went out for school from home,I was doomed to get a wonder.Everything seemed unlucky to me.I left the umbrella at home; I couldn’t unlock my bike and a big truck held up the traffic,which took me above 5 minutes to pass the road.At last I met Charlie and we were both late for the maths class.If it happened the day before,we would go to our seats without saying anything.But today we were forced to stand outside in the cold wind because of the head teacher’s bad mood.I didn’t want to say anything.It was useless.So I began to stand with Charlie. After a short while,we both felt so cold that we couldn’t speak a word.The world seemed very quiet.I suddenly found there was a lot of thin ice dropping from the sky.“Ice!” I shouted to Charlie who soon became excited the same as me.We expected for the snow but nothing happened. The ice turned white and turned to snow quietly.We were immersed in it without any word.From little to big,the snow changed out of my imagination.With the wind blowing heavily,the snow beat on my face,hair and covered all over my body.We couldn’t help shaking in the snow.We opened our mouths to taste the icy snow,stood still in the snow,and enjoyed the wonderful scene ourselves.I did believe the snow was not only a scene but a great wonder as well.It bought me much more than it had.It was too great and too beautiful that I couldn’t imagine.How fantastic it was!With the snow dropping on my body,I didn’t want to move though it was so cold. If you lived in the north,you might think it was nothing.But the following thing was more unreal.A bird,a beautiful parrot,like an angel,flew from the sky onto Charlie’s shoulder and then flew to my shoulder.I didn’t know how to express my feelings,only enjoying it.The parrot didn’t seem to leave.How fantastic,I thought. The snow became smaller and smaller after class.Maybe we lost something,but we got something,too.I didn’t know what it meant.I only wished to believe it would bring me good luck. I would never forget that day. 这是我见过的最大的雪!也是我享受过的最漂亮的雪! 当我走出校园的时候,我被这景象怔住了.每件事似乎都对我很不幸运,我把伞忘在了家里.我不能骑我的车,交通很拥堵,它花了我5分钟过马路.最后我遇到了查理,我们都误了数学课.如果这发生在前一天,我们就可以不说任何话回到座位上.但是今天因为老师的坏心情而被迫站在外面的寒风里.我什么都不想说.那是无用的.所以我开始和查理一起罚站. 过了一会儿,我们都发现我们冷得不能说一句话.世界似乎很安静.我突然发现有薄冰片从空中落下.“冰!”我朝着和我一样激动的查理大叫.我们期待着雪的落下但是什么都没发生. 冰安静的慢慢变白成了雪.我们沉浸其中不说话.慢慢变大,雪大得超出了我的想像.风越刮越大,雪吹到我的脸上、头发上、覆盖了我身体的每个角落.我们在雪里不能动弹,我们张开嘴尝尝冰雪,依然站在雪里,自我陶醉在美妙的雪景里.我相信这不止是雪景,它是极为美好的.它带给了我更多.它是如此的美好以至于让我不能想象.太美好了!雪下在我身上,尽管我很冷但我不想移动. 如果你住在北方,什么也没有.但自然更真实.一只鸟,一只漂亮的鹦鹉,就像天使一样飞过天空停在查理的肩膀上,又停在我的肩膀上,我不知道如何来表达我的感受,只是陶醉其中.鹦鹉没有走的意思.这是多么美好啊!我想着. 下课后雪越来越小了.可能我们失去了什么,但我们也得到了什么.我不知道它意味着什么.我只是祝愿它能给我带来好运.我永远也不会忘记那一天.

杯弓蛇影
In Jin Dynasty there was a man named Yue Guang who was fond of drinking alcohol.
晋朝有个叫乐(yuè)广的人，爱喝酒。
One day, he invited a friend to his house to drink together.
一天，他邀请朋友到家里来对斟对饮。
Suddenly, his friend saw the reflection of a snack swimming in the goblet.
忽然，朋友看见酒杯里有条蛇影在游动。
He got so much frightened that he took ill on bed after getting home.
他受了惊吓，回去便一病不起。
And neither any doctor or any medicine could cure his illness.
请医服药，都无起色。
Yue Guang came to see him and asked about the cause of his disease.
乐广跑来看他，问明起病的缘由。
When he got to know the cause, he pulled his friend from the bed immediately and took him to his house.
乐广听后一把拉起朋友往家走。
Yue Guang made his friend sit where he used to, pouring a goblet of alcohol for him, and asked him," Is there any snake reflection in the goblet?"
他让朋友坐在原处，斟满酒问：“有蛇影吗?”
There was still a "snake reflection" in the goblet! Yue casually took away the bow hanging on the wall.
杯子里还有“蛇影”!乐广随手取下墙上的弓。
This time, the "snake reflection" disappeared.
这次，“蛇影”不见了!
"So it was the bow reflection that was in the goblet!" His friend at once got well from his illness.
“杯子里原来是弓影呀!”朋友的病情顿时好了!
东施效颦
In the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), there was a beauty in the State of Yue called Xishi (西施).
传说春秋时期，越国有一美女，名唤西施。
She often suffered from pains in her chest, and so she would often walk around doubled over and with her brows knitted.
但是西施有心口疼的毛病，所以她经常手捂胸口，皱着眉头走着。
There was an ugly girl in the village called Dongshi who envied Xishi.
村子里还住着一位丑姑娘，叫做东施，她十分嫉妒西施。
Striving to emulate Xishi, she imitated her stoop, knitting her brows at the same time.
于是东施时常效仿西施，手捂胸口，紧皱眉头。
She thought that this made her elegant, but in fact, it only made her more ugly.
东施觉得她效仿西施就会变得很美丽，但是实际上，只会使她变得更难看而已。
Later, this idiom came to be used to indicate improper imitation that produces the reverseeffect.
这个典故比喻不恰当的模仿，带来相反的效果。
破釜沉舟
In the late years of the Qin Dynasty (秦朝,221 - 206BC), Xiang Yu (项羽) launched a rebellion.
秦朝末年，项羽发动了叛乱。
After crossing the Zhang River (漳河), Xiang Yu ordered his soldiers to sink all the boats and break their cooking pots.
在部队渡过漳河之后，项羽命令士兵把所有的船只都凿破，沉到河底，再把煮饭锅完全打碎。
He distributed each soldier three days' rations and warned them that there was no way return; the only thing they could do to survive was to fight against the enemy.
项羽给每个人只发三天的粮食，然后再上战场，这样做，是为了向大家表示“宁死不退”的决心。
After nine furious war, the Qin army was finally defeated.
果然，经过九次的激烈奋战，项羽的军队终于打败了秦国的军队。
This idiom is used to reveal one's strong determination to achieve one's goal at any cost.
后来，我们使用“破釜沉舟”比喻：下定决心，不达目的绝不罢休的精神。
