marking his mark(刻舟求劍)
a man from the state chu was crossing the river. in the boat, his sword fell into the water by his carelessness. imediately 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 the boat. the boat had moved but the sword had not. is this not a foolish way to look for a sword?
譯文：
從前，一個(gè)楚國(guó)人在坐船過(guò)河時(shí)，不小心把他的劍掉入了水中。他馬上在船上做了個(gè)記號(hào)。“這是我的劍掉下去的地方。”他說(shuō)。船停下來(lái)后，他就根據(jù)船上的記號(hào)跳入水中尋找他的劍。船在移動(dòng)但他的劍并沒(méi)有。用這種方式來(lái)找劍難道不是非常愚蠢的嗎?

譯文：
春秋楚國(guó)葉諸梁，自稱"葉公"。 據(jù)說(shuō)，這位葉公愛(ài)龍成癖，家里的梁、柱、門(mén)、窗上都雕著龍，墻上也畫(huà)著龍。 就這樣，葉公愛(ài)好龍的名聲，被人們傳揚(yáng)開(kāi)了。天上的真龍，聽(tīng)說(shuō)人間有這么一位葉公，對(duì)它如此喜愛(ài)，很受感動(dòng)，決定去葉公家對(duì)他表示謝意。人們也許會(huì)想葉公看見(jiàn)真龍時(shí)會(huì)有多高興。實(shí)際上，當(dāng)葉公看見(jiàn)那條龍時(shí)，頓時(shí)嚇得魂飛魄散，趕緊逃走。從此人們明白了葉公愛(ài)好的其實(shí)并不是真龍，而是似龍非龍的東西而已。
