　成语寓言故事:The Confucian MorAlist Bearing道学风度

During the Song and Ming Dynasties, Confucian morality became fashionable. Many people vied with one another to imitate the poise of a moralist.

宋朝、明朝时期，道学成了一种时髦，很多人都争着模仿道学家的风度。

There was one Confucian moralist who went to the city. On the street, he walked respectfully with measured strides, his back arched and his hands behind his back. He took every step according to the accepted angle and length.

有一位道学先生进城去，走在大路上，.弓着腰，背着手，恭恭敬敬地踱着四方步，每一步都不超过规定的角度和距离。

As he walked and walked, he felt his back aching, and was entirely exhausted. He looked around, then turned to his servant and whispered:

他走着走着，觉得腰酸背痛，疲惫不堪，左右张望一番，又回头小声问仆人:

"Take a look. Is there anyone behind?"

“看看，后头有没有人?”

The servant replied:

仆人回答:

“No.”

“没有。”

At this moment, the Confucian moralist at once straightened up, heaved a sigh of relief and began to walk unbridledly with long strides.

这时候，这位道学先生马上直起腰杆，长吁一口气，跨开大步，放肆地走起路来。

Another Confucian moralist was walking slowly on the road with measured strides, when black clouds suddenly rolled in the sky and heavy rain began to pour. He dashed hurriedly for over one li. All of a sudden, he exclaimed with regret:

又有一位道学先生，正在路上慢慢地踱着四方步。突然间天空乌云翻滚，下起了倾盆大雨。他慌忙奔逃，跑了一里多路。忽然，他“哎呀”一声，后悔地说:

"Too bad! I have erred! But a gentleman corrects his error as soon as he is aware of it, and it is not too late yet."

“不好，我失误了。君子知错就改，为时不晚。”

Consequently, braving the rain, he returned to the place where he started running and began to walk slowly again, step by step with measured strides.

于是，他冒着雨退回到刚才起跑的地方，重新开始一步一步地踱起四方步来。

　成语寓言故事:Ji Zi Acknowledges a Master季子拜师

Ji Zi of the Shang Dynasty was particularly fond of Taoism. He carried a lot of money with him and travelled around to fmd a teacher of Taoism. Whenever he saw a man wearing a yellow cap, he would take him as a Taoist priest and kneel down before him to ask for instructions.

商季子特别爱好道学，带了很多钱，游学四方，只要见到戴黄帽子的先生，就以为是道士，跪拜求教。

One day, a sly swindler tried to get Ji Zi's bag of money. He said deceitfully:

一天，一个狡猾的骗子，企图骗取季子的钱袋，就骗他说:

"I am a Taoist priest with the true doctrine of Taoism. If you'll follow me, I'll certainly teach Taoism to you."

“我是一个得了真传的道士，只要你跟着我云游，我就一定把道学传授给你。”

Ji Zi believed this to be true, and followed this man wholeheartedly. The swindler wanted all along to take action, but had no chance, while Ji Zi time and again urged him to teach the Taoist doctrine.

季子信以为真，诚心诚意地跟着他走。骗子一直想下手，但是没有机会。季子却不时地催促他传道。

One day the two of them came to a river bank. At the sight of a moored boat, the swindler got an idea and planned to take action. He said to Ji Zi:

一天，俩人一同来到江边。骗子一眼看到停泊的船，灵机一动，准备下手，就骗季子说:

"Taoism is right here!"

“道就在这儿哩!”

Ji Zi asked anxiously:

季子忙问:

"Where?"

“在哪儿?”

The swindler said:

骗子说:

"It is at the top of the boat's mast. You will learn Taoism if you climb up to the top."

“就在这条船的桅杆顶端，你爬上去就得道了。”

Ji Zi put his bag of money under the mast, hurriedly grasped the mast and began to climb. The swindler clapped his hands and shouted below:

季子将钱袋放在桅杆下，急忙抓住桅杆往上爬。骗子在下面拍着巴掌，连声喊道:

"Up! Go further up!"

“上!再上!”

When Ji Zi climbed up to the top and could go no further, he suddenly saw the light. Hugging the mast, he shouted happily:

季子爬到顶端，无法再上的时候，忽然大悟，抱着桅杆欢叫:

"I've learned Taoism! I've learned Taoism!"

“我得道了!我得道了!”

The swindler took this opportunity to pick up the bag of money and run away.

骗子趁机捡起钱袋跑掉了。

When Ji Zi came down, he kept shouting happily. The by- standers said:

季子下来后，仍然欢叫个不停。旁观的人说:

"Hey, you fool, he is a swindler and has made off with your money."

“晦!傻瓜，他是个骗子，早把你的钱袋拿走了!”

Ji Zi replied:

季子回答说:

"He is my master! He is my master! This is also what he is teaching me!"

“他是我师傅!他是我师傅!这也是他在教我哪!”
