父親和他的兒子 THE FATHER AND HIS SONS

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words： “My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.”

一位父親有幾個孩子，這些孩子時常發生口角。他絲毫沒有辦法來勸阻他們，只好讓他們看看不合羣所帶來害處的例子。爲了達到這個目的，有一天他叫他們替他拿一捆細柴來。當他們把柴帶來時，他便先後地將那捆柴放在每一個孩子的手中，吩咐他們弄斷這捆柴。他們一個個盡力去試，總是不能成功。

然後他解開那捆柴，一根根地放在他們手裏，如此一來，他們便毫不費力地折斷了。於是他就告訴他們說：“孩子們!如果你們大家團結一致，互相幫助，你們就像這捆柴一樣，不能被你們的敵人折斷;但如果你們自行分裂，你們就將和這些散柴一般，不堪一折了。”

熟能生巧小故事 Skill comes from Practice

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground. He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler only nodded his head indifferently. This hurt his Pride.“Can you do this?” he asked the old oil peddler.

“No, I can’t.”

“What do you think of my skill?”

“Just OK, but nothing special. You’ve gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That’s all.”

“What can you do, then?” the old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with a copper coin. He then scooped out a ladle of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the , a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, “This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot.” And with these words, he left.

Later, people use this phrase to mean “Practice makes perfect”.

北宋時期，有個技藝高超的射手。有一天，他在訓練場上練習射箭，引來了一大羣人觀看，大家都稱讚他的技藝，他感到非常驕傲。但他發現人羣中有個賣油翁只是淡淡的點點頭，這使得他很不高興。他就問那老頭：“你會射箭嗎?”

“不會。”

“你認爲我的技術如何?”

“一般。沒什麼特別的，你只能對付固定的東西，僅此而已。”

“你會幹什麼?”

這個老頭沒有回答。他把一個葫蘆放在地上，接着把一枚銅錢放在瓶口。然後從他的大油壺裏舀起一勺油。

從高處往放在地上的葫蘆裏倒。只見那油就像線一樣從銅錢中間的小洞裏滴下去，一滴都沒有漏出來。圍觀者都驚呆了。而這個賣油翁卻說：“其實沒什麼大不了的，只不過是天天練的結果。”說完，他就離開了。後來，人們用“熟能生巧”這個成語來表示熟練了就能作得好。
