　　守株待兔 (Staying by a Stump Waiting for More Hares)

　　There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years， he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops， he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.

　　A miracle took place at last. One day， when he worked in the field， some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly， a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.

　　That day， he had a good meal.

　　From that day on， he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night， he stayed by that miraculous stump， waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?

　　People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.

　　在戰(zhàn)國時代的宋國，有一個農(nóng)民，每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景，也不過剛剛吃飽穿暖;要是遇到災(zāi)荒，他就得忍饑挨餓了.他很想能過上好一點的日子，可是他太懶，膽子又特小，干什么都是又懶又怕的，總是想著能碰到送上門來的意外之財就好了。

　　奇跡終于發(fā)生了。一天，他正在田里干活，一群打獵的人靠近了。吆喝之聲四處起伏，受驚的小動物們沒命地奔跑。突然，有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一頭撞死在他田邊的樹根上。

　　這天，他美美地飽餐了一頓。

　　從此，他就不再種地了，一天到晚守著那個神奇的樹根，等著奇跡再次出現(xiàn)。

　　人們后來就常用“守株待兔”這個成語來形容那些老夢想著不耕種就會有收獲的人。
