Long, long ago, two large vultures came flying in the sky. Fighting over a piece of fat meat,they chased each other and soared up and down.
很久很久以前，天上飞来两只大雕，它们为了争夺一块肥肉，你追我赶，上下翻腾。
At this moment, She Tu, King of the Tujue State, drew out two arrows,
正在这个时候，突厥国国王摄图抽出两支箭，
gave them to a man named Zhangsun Sheng and ordered him to shoot down these two largevultures.
交给一个名叫长孙最的人，命令他把这两只雕射下来。
Zhangsun Sheng adopted the shooting posture. When the two vultures were biting into thefat meat and grappling with each other,
长孙晨摆出射箭的架势，当两只大雕咬住肥肉，扭打在一起的时候，
he at once let fly the arrow and shot them at the same time.

Tu Gu Hun in ancient times is now the Song Pan area of Qinghai and Sichuan Provinces.
古时候的吐谷浑，就是现在的青海及四川的松潘一带。
A’cai, chief of Tu Gu Hun, had 20 sons. One day A’cai said to them:
吐谷浑的首领阿豺有二十个儿子。一天，阿豺对他的儿子说
“Each one of you bring me an arrow.”
“你们每人给我拿一支箭来。”
Then, he broke the arrows one by one and threw them on the ground.
然后，他把拿来的箭一一折断，扔在地下。
After a while, A’cai said to Mu Liyan, his half-brother by the same mother:
过了一会儿，阿豺又对他的同母弟弟慕利延说:
“Bring an arrow and break it.”
“你拿一支箭来把它折断。”
Mu Liyan broke the arrow without any effort.
慕利延毫不费力地把箭折断了。阿豺又说:
“Bring 19 arrows and break them together,” demanded A’cai again.
“你再拿十九支箭来把它们一起折断。”
But this time Mu Liyan couldn’t make it despite all his efforts.
这时候，慕利延竭尽全力，怎么也折不断。
Thereupon, A’cai said meaningfully:
于是，阿豺意味深长地说:
“Do you know the reason behind? A single arrow can be easily broken, but assembled together,the arrows will be hard to destroy.
“你们知道其中的道理吗?单独一支容易折断，聚集在一起就很难被摧毁。
As long as you work in full cooperation and with unity of purpose, our throne will be passeddown from generation to generation.”
只要你们同心协力，我们的江山就可以一代一代地传下去。”
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 outsidethe window.
有一天，他在室内弹琴，看见一头牛在窗外悠闲地吃着草。
He had a sudden whim to play some melodies for the cow. He first played the “Exercise ofQing Jiao”,
他忽然想弹几曲给牛听听。他先弹了一曲“清角之操”。
but the cow still kept on eating grass with head lowered. He seemed to realize that the melodywas too highbrow for the cow to understand.
可是，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 flyingmosquitoes, and the bleats of a calf looking for its companions.
于是，他弹了另外几支曲子，模拟蚊子成群结队飞来飞去的嗡嗡声;模拟小牛犊寻找伙伴的眸眸叫唤声。
At this, to his surprise, the cow stopped eating grass, but raised its head, pricked up its ears,wagged its tail and, pacing up and down in small steps, began to listen attentively.
这样一来，这头牛竟然不吃草了，抬起头，竖着耳朵，甩着尾巴，迈着小步，留心地倾听起来。

During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), prince Zhou Xu of the State of Wei killed his brother and became the new emperor. Zhou Xu was a tyrant. He oppressed his people and indulged in wars of agGREssion. By launching wars, he tried to divert the people's attention and reduce their discontent with him in order to consolidate his dictatorship.
The Duke of the State of Lu leant about Zhou Xu's usurpation of state power and his ambitious plan, he asked a senior official, "What do you think about Zhou Xu's move? "The official answered, "He indulges in wars , bringing his people much disaster. He won't get their support. And he's capricious, so few of his close friends follow him. He can never achieve his success. In addition, war is like fire. If one launches wars endlessly without restraint, he'll eventually burn himself. "
Sure enough, the people of Wei with the help of the State of Chen overthrew Zhou Xu and killed him in less than a year.
Later, people use it to mean that those who do evil will finally ruin themselves.
春秋时期，卫国的王子州吁杀死了他的哥哥卫桓公，成为了卫国的国君。州吁是个暴君，他压迫百姓，到处侵略别的国家。他想利用战争来分散百姓的注意力，减少人们对他的不满，巩固他的专政。
鲁国的君王知道州吁篡夺了王位，还想吞并其他国家，就问他手下的一名官员："你认为州吁的目的能达到吗?"那位官员说道："州吁到处打仗，给人民来了灾难。人民不会支持他。他这个人又反复无常，身边没有什么亲信。他不可能实现自己的野心。而且，战争就象火。无休止地打仗，最后，火会烧到自己身上。 "
果然，不到一年，卫国人民就在陈国的帮助下推翻了州吁的统治，并处死了他。
后来，人们用这个成语来比喻干害人的勾当，最后受害的还是自己。
Near China's northern borders lived a man well versed in the practices of Taoism. His horse, for no reason at all, got into the territory of the northern tribes. Everyone commiserated with him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.
After a few months, his animal came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of misfortune," said his father.
Since he was well-off and kept good horses his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. Everyone commiserated with him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.
One year later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. All able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border nine out of ten men died. This man's son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so both the boy and his father survived.
战国时期，靠近北部边城，住着一个老人，名叫塞翁。塞翁养了许多马，一天，他的马群中忽然有一匹走失了。邻居们听说这件事，跑来安慰，劝他不必太着急，年龄大了，多注意身体。塞翁见有人劝慰，笑了笑说：“丢了一匹马损失不大，没准会带来什么福气呢。”
邻居听了塞翁的话，心里觉得很好笑。马丢了，明明是件坏事，他却认为也许是好事，显然是自我安慰而已。过了几天，丢失的马不仅自动返回家，还带回一匹匈奴的骏马。
邻居听说了，对塞翁的预见非常佩服，向塞翁道贺说：“还是您有远见，马不仅没有丢，还带回一匹好马，真是福气呀。”
塞翁听了邻人的祝贺，反而一点高兴的样子都没有，忧虑地说：“白白得了一匹好马，不一定是什么福气，也许惹出什么麻烦来。”
邻居们以为他故作姿态纯属老年人的狡猾。心里明明高兴，有意不说出来。
塞翁有个独生子，非常喜欢骑马。他发现带回来的那匹马顾盼生姿，身长蹄大，嘶鸣嘹亮，膘悍神骏，一看就知道是匹好马。他每天都骑马出游，心中洋洋得意。
一天，他高兴得有些过火，打马飞奔，一个趔趄，从马背上跌下来，摔断了腿。邻居听说，纷纷来慰问。
塞翁说：“没什么，腿摔断了却保住性命，或许是福气呢。”邻居们觉得他又在胡言乱语。他们想不出，摔断腿会带来什么福气。
不久，匈奴兵大举入侵，青年人被应征入伍，塞翁的儿子因为摔断了腿，不能去当兵。入伍的青年都战死了，唯有塞翁的儿子保全了性命。
This idiom comes from Records of Three Kingdoms• Kingdom of Wei • Biography of Lu Yu. When Lu Yu, the minister of the State of Wei was young, his parents and brothers all died one after another, and he became an orphan. In such a difficult situation, he still studied very hard. Finally he became a talented person and served as a high officialof hisstate.Hewassouprightin performing his official duties that he was promoted to the minister of the Board of Civil Office, in charge of the officials' appointments and removals.
Owing to the vacancy of Lu Yu's original post, it had to fill up a new official for it. Although there were many officials to recommend some well-known people for the post, all were refused by Emperor Wen. He only let Lu Yu do it and also pointed out:"It depends on you whether we can find the right person for the important post. But we can't choose someone only with fame in stead of his real ability. You see, the fame is just like drawing cakes on the ground to allay hungry."
Then Lu expressed his idea:" You are right, YourMajesty, selections should depend on their real learning and abilities. But the real fame is still very important, such as self-possession and high moral character. So we should select people with both of them."
Now we use it to describe comforting oneself with unrealistic thoughts, without solving practical problemsand feeding on illusions.
此语出自《三国志•魏志•卢毓传》。三国时代,魏国的大臣卢毓,自幼父母双亡,两位兄长又先后去世,他成了孤儿。但他刻苦学习,终于成了很有才学的人,而且做了朝廷大臣。他为官清正、廉洁,因而连连提升,后被任命为吏部尚书,负责官吏的任免。
卢毓升任吏部尚书后,他原担任的中书郎职务空缺,需要选拔人补上,当时有很多大臣都推荐一些有名气的人来担任,但都被魏文帝拒绝了。魏文帝曹睿要卢毓选好这个官,并对他说:“这次选拔中书郎,能否选到合适的人,就看你了。千万不要选那些只有虚名而没有真才实学的人,虚名就像在地上画的饼,是不能充饥的。”
卢毓对此说出了他的意见:“陛下说得很对,选拔不能只看名气,但名气也能反映一定的实际情况,如果是修养、才学都好而有名气就不应该嫌弃,主要看他们是否有真才实学。”
