初二英语故事作文：师旷调琴

Ping Gong of Jin ordered someone to make a stringed musical instrument. The strings of the instrument were of the same size, with no difference between the small strings and the large string.

After the instrument was made. Ping Gong of Jin asked Shi Kuang, an official in charge of music, to tune the instrument. Shi Kuang spent a whole day doing it, but failed to tune out a melody.

Ping Gong blamed Shi Kuang for his incompetence. Shi Kuang explained: "The large string of a musical instrument is like the king of a state, and the small strings are like his subordinates. The large string and the small strings have their own functions. Only by coordinating with one another can they compose temperament, and only by being orderly can they playharmonious and pleasant music. Now there is no difference in size between the large string and the small strings. This ruins the system and regularity which they should have. How can I tune an instrument like this?"

晋平公令人制作了一张琴。琴上的弦，粗细一个样，大弦、小弦没有区别。

琴制作好以后，晋平公让乐官师旷来调音。师旷调了一整天，也没调出个曲调来。

晋平公责怪师旷不会凋琴。师旷解释说：“一张琴，大弦就好比国君，小弦就好比臣子。大弦小弦各有各的功能，它们彼此配合，才能合成音律。大弦小弦有条不紊，才能奏出和谐悦耳的音乐。您现在把琴弦做成大小不分，破坏了它们应有的系统性与规律性。这样的琴，您让我怎么调呀!”

When I eat a date, I won't chew it, but will swallow it whole, so it will not do any harm to my teeth."

When people heard this, they jeered at him: "You are swallowing a date whole!"

从前，有个人说：“吃生梨对牙齿有好处，但是会伤脾;吃红枣对脾有好处，但是会损害牙齿。”

一个年轻人听了这句话，想了很久，说道：“那我吃生梨的时候，就含在嘴里，用牙齿咀嚼，但是不往肚里咽，它就损伤不了我的脾。吃枣的时候，我把它整个儿吞下去，不去咀嚼，这样就不会损害我的牙齿了。”

人们听了他的话，讥笑说：“你这是在囫囵吞枣啊!”

初二英语故事作文：稀世珍琴

Gong Zhiqiao obtained a piece of fine Chinese tung wood and made a qin (stringed musical instrument) out of it. When installed with strings and plucked, it gave out a wonderful sound,harmonious and pleasing to the ear.

Gong Zhiqiao thought this was the finest instrument in the world, so he presented it to the Tai Chang Si Qing (a high official in charge of rites and protocol of the ancestral temple) who had it examined by an imperial musician, but the musician disdained to have a look at it. He only said "Not ancient!" and returned the instrument.

Gong Zhiqiao had to take it home and asked a lacquerer to paint many crackles on the instrument in imitation of an ancient qin, and asked a sculptor to carve on it some inscriptions of ancient scholars. Then he put it in a box and buried it underground.

After one year, Gong Zhiqiao took out the instrument from underground, and went to the market to sell it. It happened that an influential personage was passing by. He bought it with 100 pieces of gold and presented it to the imperial court. The imperial musicians vied with each other to look at it and praised in unison: "Ah! It is indeed a rare stringed musical instrument in the world!"

工之侨得到一块优质的桐木料，用它制作了一把琴，安上琴弦，一弹，发出金玉一般的声音，和谐悦耳。

工之侨自以为这是世界上最好的一把琴了。于是，他就拿去献给太常寺卿。太常让皇家的乐工检验，乐工却不屑一顾，说:“不古。”把琴还给了他。

工之侨只好把琴拿回家，让漆工仿古，在琴上漆出许多裂纹，又让雕匠在琴上刻了古人的题字，然后装进匣子，埋在地下。

一年之后，工之侨把琴从地下取出来，赶到集市上去卖。有位显贵之人正好路过，出百金买下了这把琴，并把它献给了朝廷。乐工们捧着这把琴，争相传看，竟然齐声称赞：“啊，真是世上少有的珍琴!”
