古时候有个农夫很愚蠢,
做事情轻重缓急不能分。
有一天他到田里看庄稼,
见禾苗长得太慢心恼恨。
他心想不如挨株拔一拔,
一用劲苗儿果然高几分!
这个人整整拔了一上午,
累得他浑身是汗腰腿酸。
回家后对着妻儿瞎吹嘘,
夸自己拔苗助长大本领。
他儿子不信此话下田去,
见禾苗全被太阳晒蔫巴。
这说明做事切忌凭主观,
违背了客观规律受惩罚。
“揠苗助长”作成语,
“揠”的意思就是拔,
拔苗助长不现实,
客观规律永远要遵循。
Try to Help the Shoots Grow
by Pulling Them Up
In ancient times there was a very foolish farmer。He was muddle-headed about what he was doing。One day he went to the fields to see his crops,only to find them grow very slowly and he was annoyed。He thought to himself,I should pull them up one by one。Oh,the shoots did grow higher with his efforts。This guy pulled and pulled for the whole morning,and he was all knocked out。He bragged to his wife and children when he got home,that how smart of him to make all the shoots in the field grow much faster。His son,however,didn't believe him and went to the fields,and saw all the shoots were withered in the sun。
This indicates that one shouldn't be too subjective,and he should be punished if he goes against the natural law。
