刻舟求剑
有一个楚国人乘船渡江,一不小心,把佩带的剑掉进了江里。他急忙在船沿上刻上一个记号,说:“我的剑就是从这儿掉下去的。”船靠岸后,这个人顺着 船沿上刻的记号下水去找剑, 但找了半天也没有找到。船已经走了很远,而 剑还在原来的地方。用刻舟求剑的办法来找剑,不是很糊涂吗? 这个故事告诉我们:世界上的事物,总是在不断 地发展变化,人们想问题、办事情,都应当考虑这种变化,适合于这种变化的需要。
Making His Mark A man from the State Chu was crossing the river. In the boat, his sword fell into the water by his carelessness. Immediately he made a mark on the boat.” This is where my sword fell off.” He said.
When the boat stopped, he jumped into the water to look for his sword at the place where he marked on the boat. The boat had moved but the sword had not. Is this not a foolish way to look for the sword?
The story tells that: things are always making progress. We have to take the progression into consideration when we doing things, and adjust to the progression.
