　　翻譯：老故事咂出新滋味

鐵杵磨成針的故事告訴我們：白費力氣的事儘管感人但卻是可笑的。明明買根針就能做活，非要用根大鐵棒磨它個三年兩載。方向和方法錯了，功夫下的再深也不行。

三顧茅廬的故事告訴我們：機遇是等來的。如果孔明先生主動上門求職，就不見得有這樣的效果。不過，這話只適合古代，現代人即使比孔明的本事大十倍，坐在家裏乾等也不見得有機遇出現。天知道重視人才的觀念是進步了還是退步了。

龜兔賽跑的故事告訴我們：永遠不要以己之短比別人之長，更不要因一時的僥倖成功把短當成長。如果是烏龜，可以跟兔子比潛水，也可以跟兔子比長壽，這纔是烏龜的強項。

井底的之蛙故事告訴我們：什麼樣的環境早就什麼樣的人生，反過來也同樣，什麼樣的人生適合什麼樣的環境。別指責青蛙的短淺愚昧，因爲蛙絕不可能從井底遷到東海生存。如果蛙受了教育啓發，從此志在東海，那只有徒增煩惱了。

武松打虎的故事告訴我們：英雄有時是被逼出來的。武松膽兒再大也是正常人，沒有人不拍老虎的道理。要不是犟脾氣加上十五碗小酒，決不回去做打虎的壯舉。其實他也沒想到會遇上老虎，真的'遇上反而酒都被嚇醒了，說明他並不是真的想當英雄。不是他死就是虎亡，他把自己逼成了英雄。現實的很多典型與此很類似，每一個英雄的出現都是有前提的。

螳臂當車的故事告訴我們：即便粉身碎骨，也要爲改變現狀做一些看似無效的努力。也許，當輪前的螳臂多了，車會慢下來或者停下來。
