Waiting For A Hare At The Tree Stump描述: 守株待兔 (韩非子 五蠢)
宋人有耕者,田中有株,兔走触株,折颈而死。因释其耒而守株,冀复得兔。兔不可复得,而身为宋国笑。
白话翻译
有个耕田的宋国人,在田里有截树樁子,一条兔子跑过来,碰到树樁子,碰断了脖子就死了。耕田的人于是就放下他的犁去守着树樁子,希望再得到兔子。兔子他再也得不到,他自己反倒被宋国人嘲笑了。
WAITING FOR A HARE AT THE TREE STUMP
There was a person in the state of Song who tilled the land; in his field was a tree stump. A hare ran by, dashed into the tree stump, broke its neck, and then died. The person tilling the field these upon put down his plough in order to watch the tree stump, hoping to get another hare. He could not get a hare again; instead he was laughed at by the people of Song.
