In this holiday, I learned two idioms: waiting for a rabbit and a blessing in disguise. To wait for a rabbit means to wait for the rabbit to hit the tree stump. It is also a metaphor for sticking to experience and not being flexible
在这个假期里学了两个成语，是守株待兔和塞翁失马这两个成语。守株待兔的意思就是守着树桩等兔子自己撞上来。形容不努力，只想不劳而获，也比喻死守经验，不知变通。
there is a story: a long time ago, there was a very lazy farmer, but he was always very happy. He was lazy for several days. One day, he was sitting under a tall and big tree with a basket of apples next to it. The farmer rested while eating apples. Suddenly, a little white rabbit saw the apple and wanted to eat it, but the rabbit didn't see the road, so he accidentally hit a tree stump. The farmer turned his head and saw a rabbit. The rabbit broke its neck and kicked its legs twice before it died
守株待兔有一个故事是：很久很久以前，有一个非常懒的农夫，但是他一直很快乐。有好几天在偷懒，正好有一天他正坐在一棵又高又大的树下，树旁边还有一筐苹果。这个农夫一边吃苹果一边休息。突然，一只小白兔看见苹果就想吃苹果了，可是兔子没看路，所以一不小心撞到了树桩上。农夫转过头看见了一只兔子，兔子的脖子都撞断了，蹬了两下腿就死翘翘的了。
the farmer was very happy to see this. He immediately rushed up to pick up the rabbit and felt happy“ Ha ha, I found a fat rabbit without any effort. It seems that I have good luck! What other fields are planted? I'll sit next to this stump and wait for the rabbit to hit it”
农夫看到这一幕，高兴极了，他马上冲上去捡起兔子心里美滋滋的“哈哈，没费一点劲儿就捡到一只肥美的兔子，看来是我交了好运啊！还种什么田呢？我以后就坐在这个树桩旁，等兔子撞上来好了！”
the next day, the farmer had no mood to work. He set aside his hoe and the uncultivated field and watched the stump wholeheartedly, waiting for the rabbit to hit it. As a result, he waited all day and didn't wait for anything, but he still didn't stop, thinking“ Maybe a rabbit will hit it tomorrow”
第二天，农夫没心思干活了。他把锄头和没耕好的田搁在一边，一心守着那个树桩，等着兔子撞上来。结果等了一天什么也没等到，可他还是不罢休，心想“也许明天就有兔子撞上来了！”
in this way, the farmer waited by the stump day after day, and the crops in the field died, and he didn't care. However, since then, no rabbit has hit the stump
就这样，农夫在树桩旁等了一天又一天，田地里的庄稼都枯死了，他也不关心。不过，从那以后，再也没有兔子撞上那个树桩了。
after the story, there is also a story of blessing in disguise, which means that although you receive setbacks for a while, you may benefit from it in the future. A bad thing can become a good thing under certain conditions
这个故作文事讲完了，还有塞翁失马的故事，意思是：比喻虽然一时收到挫折，也许以后会因此得到好处。指坏事在一定条件下可变为好事。
The story is: in ancient times, there lived an old man in the frontier fortress. He was well-informed, calm and far sighted
故事是：在古时候，边塞地区住着一位老翁，他见多识广，遇事沉着冷静，而且很有远见。
one day, a horse raised by Saiweng ran outside the Great Wall for no reason. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to comfort him and advised him not to be sad. Sai Weng smiled disapprovingly and said to everyone:“ Losing a horse is not necessarily a bad thing. Why do we conclude that it will not bring good results”
有一天，塞翁养的一匹马无缘无故跑到了塞外去了。左邻右舍听说了这间事，纷纷跑来安慰他，劝他不要伤心。塞翁不以为然地笑了笑，对大家说：“丢了匹马未必是坏事啊，为什么大家断定这件事不会带来好的结果呢？”
after a few months, a good thing happened. The runaway horse actually ran back from outside the great wall and brought back several fine horses of Hu people. So everyone came to congratulate Sai Weng and praised him for his foresight
过了几个月，好事果然发生了。那匹逃跑的马居然从塞外跑回来了，还带回来几匹胡人的骏马。于是，大家又纷纷跑来祝贺塞翁，夸他有远见。
looking at everyone, Sai Weng shook his head and said anxiously:“ We can't be happy too early. This matter may bring disaster to us”
看着大家，塞翁却摇了摇头，忧虑地说：“不能高兴得太早，这件事很可能会给我们带来灾祸呀！”
after adding several horses to the family, Saiweng's son was very curious. He mounted a fine horse and tried to run. When the steed saw the new master, it was disobedient and hurt Saiweng's son's foot
家中添了几匹骏马之后，塞翁的儿子很好奇。他骑上骏马，试着跑了跑。骏马看见新主人，便不听话，就把塞翁的儿子的脚摔伤了。
everyone came to comfort him after hearing about it. Sai Weng smiled disapprovingly again and said to everyone:“ My son's foot is hurt. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe it's a good thing”
大家听说后纷纷来安慰他，塞翁又一次不以为然地笑了笑，对大家说：“我儿子的脚摔伤了，也未必是坏事，或许是好事呢？”
A few days later, the war came. Many people sacrificed their lives for the country, but Saiweng's son hurt his foot, so he didn't go to the army at home. A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise
又过了几天，战争来了。好多人为了国家牺牲了性命，可是塞翁的儿子脚伤了所以在家里没去充军。塞翁失马焉知非福。(文/陈诗婷)
