英語(yǔ)寓言故事功虧一簣
古有愚公移山,下面這個(gè)故事說的卻是造山,結(jié)果會(huì)怎么樣呢?快跟小編一起看看吧。
Once a man planned to build a terrace1.
He worked very hard and spent a lot of time digging and carrying earth.
When the mound2 was almost completed and only one more basket of earth was needed, the man gave up.
The terrace was never completed.
This idiom means to fail to succeed for lack of final effort.
古時(shí),有一個(gè)人要筑一座九仞(八尺=一仞)高的山。
他十分努力的建造這座山,并且花了很多時(shí)間挖土、搬運(yùn)泥土。
終于當(dāng)山快要建成的時(shí)候,幾乎只差最后一籃子的泥土就行了的時(shí)候,他放棄了。
這座山便永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法完工。
這個(gè)典故用以形容“離成功只有一步之遙,但最終失敗告終”的意思。
