1、愚公移山的故事英语 愚公移山 - 故事中英文版 太行，王屋二山的北面，住了一个九十岁的老翁，名叫愚公。二山占地广阔，挡住去路，使他和家人往来极为不便。一天，愚公召集家人说：让我们各尽其力，铲平二山，开条道路，直通豫州，你们认为怎样？ 大家都异口同声赞成，只有他的妻子表示怀疑，并说：你连开凿一个小丘的力量都没有，怎可能铲平太行、王屋二山呢？况且，凿出的土石又丢到哪里去呢？大家都热烈地说：把土石丢进渤海里。 于是愚公就和儿孙，一起开挖土，把土石搬运到渤海去。 愚公的邻居是个寡妇，有个儿子八岁也兴致勃勃地走来帮忙。寒来暑往，他们要一年才能往返渤海一次。 住在黄河河畔的智叟，看见他们这样辛苦，取笑愚公
2、说：你不是很愚蠢吗？你已一把年纪了，就是用尽你的气力，也不能挖去山的一角呢？愚公叹息道：你有这样的成见，是不会明白的。你比那寡妇的小儿子还不如呢！就算我死了，还有我的儿子，我的孙子，我的曾孙子，他们一直传下去。而这二山是不会加大的，总有一天，我们会把它们铲平。 智叟听了，无话可说：二山的守护神被愚公的坚毅精神吓倒，便把此事奏知天帝。 天帝佩服愚公的精神，就命两位大力神背走二山。 (阿冷阳)How The Foolish Old Man Moved MountainsYugong was a niy-year-old man who lived at the north of two high
