新春小学生英语故事：纸上谈兵

In the Warring States Period, the State of Zhao had a famous general called Zhao She, whose son, Zhao Kuo, was very fond of reading books on military science and discussing strategy. He could recite military texts by heart, and when discussing warfare he spoke so clearly and logically that it seemed that even his father was not his match. When the State of Qin attacked the State of Zhao, the ruler of Zhao ordered Zhao Kuo to lead 400,000 men to resist(抵抗) the attack. But since Zhao Kuo had no practical experience of battle, he was defeated and lost his life.

赵括从小学习兵法，自以为天下没有人能够与其匹敌。他的父亲赵奢曾经评论说：“打仗是非常危险的事情，而赵括把它说得太容易了，假使将来赵国不任命他为将军，那也就算了，如果一定要拜他为将军，导致赵军大败的人必定是赵括无疑。”后来赵括果然代替廉颇做了大将军，长平一战被秦将白起打败，四十万赵军全部被消灭，赵括自己也战死了。

Later people used this idiom to describe those who are good only at theorizing, and lack practical experience.

在纸面上谈论打仗。比喻空谈理论，不能解决实际问题。也比喻空谈不能成为现实。

有一天，他想出了一个妙计：下得田去，把每棵稻子都从土里拔高了一些。“好累啊!辛辛苦苦干了一整天!不过，田里的稻子倒是都长高好些了。”他的儿子听说田里的稻子长高了好些，连忙跑到田里去看。可是，糟糕得很，田里的稻苗的叶子，都开始枯萎了。

新春小学生英语故事：一丘之貉

In the Han Dynasty, there was an official called Yang Yun who was both capable(有才华的) and honest. Commenting on the assassination of a king of a small state, he said, "If a king refuses to follow the advice of a wise minister, he will suffer an unitimely death. The emperor of the Qin Dynasty trusted treacherous(奸诈的) ministers, and therefore lost his state." He compared kings and emperors to racoons(浣熊) living on the same mountain.

This idiom refers derogatorily(减损地) to people who are of the same kind.

汉朝汉宣帝时，有个很有名的人叫杨恽，他的父亲是汉昭帝时的丞相，母亲是史学家司马迁的女儿。他从小受到良好的教养，少年时在朝廷中的名气就很大，因为向汉宣帝举发大将霍光谋反，被封为平通侯。汉朝当时的社会贿赂风气很严重，有钱人用钱行贿，可以到处玩乐，没钱贿赂的人就要一年到头辛苦地工作。因此他大力革除了这些弊病，整顿了朝廷的不良风气，获得人们的称赞。他自认为功劳很高，有时目中无人，得罪了太仆戴长乐。

有一次，杨恽听说匈奴的首领单于被人杀了，便说：“这是不明是非的君王，忠心的臣子提议的治国策略不用，却听信小人的谗言，杀害忠良，结果性命不保，国家灭亡。秦朝如果不是因为这样，也许现在还存在，而不会被汉朝代替。自古以来，各朝代的君王都是如此，喜欢听信小人的谗言，就像从同一个山丘里出产的貉，没有什么差别。”这话传到长乐的耳里，他连忙向汉宣帝报告，宣帝听到杨恽把自己和历代君王比作“一丘之貉”感到非常震怒，再加上长乐又说了许多杨恽对宣帝不满的坏话，因此就下令革去杨恽的官职。

后来“一丘之貉”用来比喻那些臭气相投、不务正业的人。
