Peaches and Plums Do Not Have to Talk, Yet the World Beats a Path to Them--Natural Attraction

Duing the Western Han Dynasty(206 B.C.- A.D.24)Period, there was a very famous general whose name was Li Guang. He was very brave and skillful in battle, and had fought more than seventy battles with the Huns, an ancient nationality in China.Having made brilliant achievements in war, he was deeply loved and esteemed by the officers and men as well as the common people. However,he did not claim credit for himself and become arrogant,although he held a high post,commanding a big army,and had rendered outstanding service in defending the county. He was not only polite and amiable, but also shared weal and woe with the soldiers. He always had the troops under his commandat heart,and whenever gifts were bestowed to him by the imperial government,he distributed the gifts to his officers and men. When marching, he endured the torments of hunger and thirst as the soldiers did when food and water were in short supply. When fighting, he charged at the head of his men,and ,when he gave the order,every soldier advanced bravely to engage in fighting,not fearing death.

When the sad news of the heath of General Li Guang reached the militaty camp,the officers and men of the whole army wept bitterly.

西汉时候，有一位勇猛善战的将军，名叫李广，一生跟匈奴打过七十多次仗，战功卓著，深受官兵和百姓的爱戴。李广虽然身居高位，统领千军万马，而且是保卫国家的功臣，但他一点也不居功自傲。他不仅待人和气，还能和士兵同甘共苦。每次朝廷给他的赏赐，他首先想到的是他的部下，就把那些赏赐统统分给官兵们;行军打仗时，遇到粮食或水供应不上的情况，他自己也同士兵们一样忍饥挨饿;打起仗来，他身先士卒，英勇顽强，只要他一声令下，大家个个奋勇杀敌，不握牺牲。这是一位多么让人崇敬的大将军啊!

后来，当李广将军去世的噩耗传到军营时，全军将士无不痛哭流涕，连许多与大将军平时并不熟悉的百姓也纷纷悼念他。在人们心目中，李广将军就是他们崇拜的大英雄。

汉朝伟大的史学家司马迁在为李广立传时称赞道：“桃李不言，下自成蹊。”意思是说，桃李有着芬芳的花朵，甜美的果实，虽然它们不会说话，但仍然会吸引人们到树下赏花尝果，以至树下都走出一条小路，李广将军就是以他的真诚和高尚的品质赢得了人们的崇敬。

“桃李不言，下自成蹊”这则成语出自《史记·李将军列传》,比喻为人真诚,严于律已,自然会感动别人,自然会受到人们的敬仰。

短篇励志小故事英文版：望洋兴叹

Tradition has it that many,many years ago,there lived on the Yellow River a river god known as He Bo.One day ,He Bo stood on the riverbank and watched the turbulent waves from the west surging forward to the east.He said both excitedly and conceitedly:"How big the Yellow River is !No other river on earth can compare with it.And therefore I am the greatest river god."

One man said to him,"You are wrong.There is a place to the east of the Yellow Rivers called the North Sea.The North Sea is really big."He Bo said,"I don't believe it .Big as the North Sea is, can it be bigger than Yellow River?"The man said,"Should the water of several Yellow River flow into the North sea,it could not fill the North Sea,let alone one Yellow River. "

He Bo said obstinately,"I don't believe it,for I have never been to the North Sea."

Having no alternative,the man said,"You will not be able to" understand what I mean until you have a chance to see the North Sea for yourself."

Winter came,and torrential rain had been falling for days on end.Rivers big and small emptied themselves into the Yellow River,making the Yellow River even broader.Standing on one side of the river,people could hardly tell what animals the oxen and horses on the other side of the river were.Thus He Bo was even more proud,thinking that all the magnificent sights were accumulated here.Then ,remembering the North Sea which had been mentioned to him before,he decided to go there and have a look.

He went downstream,and arrived at the river mouth to the sea.Suddenly,the god of the North Sea,whose name was Biennia Ruo,appeared before his eyes.With a smile,Beihai Ruo was welcoming He Bo to the North sea.He looked ahead,and saw that the North Sea,with its vast expanse of water,was boundless.With a dull look in his eyes,He Bo stood there for a while.Finally he said to Beihai Ruo with deep feeling,"As the common saying goes,some people go so far as to think that they are more knowledgeable than anybody else when they have got some knowledge.Actually I am one of such people.If I had not seen with that the Yellow River is matchless in the world.If I remained like that, I would be laughed at for ever by sensible people."

相传很久很久以前，黄河里有一位河神，人们叫他河伯。何伯站在黄河岸上。望着滚滚的浪涛由西而来，又奔腾跳跃向东流去，兴奋地说;“黄河真大呀，世上没有哪条河能和它相比。我就是最大的水神啊!”

有人告诉他：“你的话不对，在黄河的东面有个地方叫北海，那才真叫大呢。”

河伯说：“我不信，北海再大，能大得过黄河吗?”

那人说：“别说一条黄河，就是几条黄河的水流进北海，也装不满它。”

河伯固执地说：“我没见过北海，我不信。”

那人无可奈何，告诉他：“有机会你去看看北海，就明白我的话了。”

秋天到了，连日的暴雨使大大小小的河流都注入黄河，黄河的河面更加宽阔了，隔河望去，对岸的牛马都分不清。这一下，河伯更得意了，以为天下最壮观的景色都在自己这里，他在自得之余，想起了有人跟他提起的北海，于是决定去那里看看。

河伯顺流来到黄河的入海口，，突然眼前一亮，海神北海若正笑容满面地欢迎他的到来，河伯放眼望去，只见北海汪洋一片，无边无涯，他呆呆地
