More numbers: Two heads are better than one

Now, the VOA Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

Last week, I told about the number one. Today, I will tell about expressions using other numbers.

Some problems are difficult to solve. But there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.

Sometimes there are no two ways about it. Some problems have only one solution. You cannot be of two minds over this.

But with any luck, we could solve the problem in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. We could have our answers quickly and easily.

Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.

If you are going out with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go along on your date. You can just say to your friend: two’s company, three’s a crowd.

When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three R’s. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic. These three words do not all start with the letter “R.” But they have the sound of “R.” My teachers used to give three cheers when I did well in math. They gave praise and approval for a job well done.

Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their schoolwork. They were at sixes and sevens. In fact, they did not care if they finished high school. They saw little difference between the two choices. Six of one, half a dozen the other – that was their position. But they were really happy when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine.

Nine times out of ten, students who do well in school find good jobs. Some work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. You do not have to dress to the nines, or wear your best clothes, for this kind of work.

Last year, one of my friends applied for a better job at her office. I did not think she would get it. I thought she had a hundred to one shot at the job. Other people at her office thought her chances were a million to one. One reason was that she had been caught catching forty winks at the office. She slept at her desk for short periods during the day. But her supervisor appointed her to the new job at the eleventh hour -- at the very last minute. I guess her lucky number came up.

传说 ，诸葛亮到东吴作客，为孙权设计了一尊报恩寺塔。其实，这是诸葛亮先生要掂掂东吴的份量，看看东吴有没有能人造塔。那宝塔要求可高啦，单

是顶上的铜葫芦，就有五丈高，四千多斤重。孙权被难住了，急得面黄肌瘦。后来寻到了冶匠，但缺少做铜葫芦模型的人，便在城门上贴起招贤榜。时隔一月，仍然没有一点儿下文。诸葛亮每天在招贤榜下踱方步，高兴得直摇鹅毛扇子。
那城门口有三个摆摊子的皮匠，他们面目丑陋，又目不识丁，大家都称他们是丑皮匠。他们听说诸葛亮在寻东吴人的开心，心里不服气，便凑在一起商议。他们足足花了三天三夜的工夫，终于用剪鞋样的办法，剪出个葫芦的样子。然后，再用牛皮开料，硬是一锥子、一锥子地缝成一个大葫芦的模型。在浇铜水时，先将皮葫芦埋在砂里。这一着，果然一举成功。诸葛亮得到铜葫芦浇好的消息，立即向孙权告辞，从此再也不敢小看东吴了。所以有有说，“三个臭皮匠，胜过诸葛亮”的故事，就这样成了一句寓意深刻的谚浯
再有，“三个臭皮匠，赛过诸葛亮”，听说原来为“三个臭裨将，赛过诸葛亮”，“裨将者，副将也”，因“皮匠”与“裨将”谐音，故有此一说。比喻人多智慧多，有事请经过大家商量，就能商量出一个好办法来。


人常说，三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮。这句话讲得就是遇到问题要依靠集体智慧的力量，强调了团队合作和集思广益的重要性。在我们的日常工作中，比如国企内部的技术问题讨论会，常遇到的就是开会时直接和间接相关的领导和人员众多，会山人海，领导希望通过开会解决问题。但认真地观察就不难发现，开会时对于具体问题十分了解、真正的行家里手、真正能做出正确决策和敢于拍板的其实就是那几个人，甚至一个人，会上其他人说的都是废话、空话、误导的话、错误的话、重复的话，因为他们对具体的问题的了解甚少或知之不多，也没有相关方面的专长。这些人的出现常常弊大于利，不但会使会议变得闷长，而且有时会使讨论的问题得到错误地解决方案，因为他们错误的发言常能起到众口铄金的效果，真理也因此变成谬误；众人开会的一个“优点”就是决策风险责任共同承担。从上述意义上来讲，这种开会决策或意味着日常工作效率低下，或意味着决策管理者业务不精，或意味着决策者逃避责任。
臭皮匠就是臭皮匠，怎么三个臭皮匠就一定能顶个诸葛亮呢？！2:
英文翻译：
Legend, Zhu Geliang to the guests, Sun Quan discussed a gratitude temple tower. In fact, this is Mr. Zhu Geliang must heft, weight, have a look, have capable tower. The pagoda requirements can be high, one is on top of the copper block, there are five feet high, more than 4000 pounds. Sun Quan was stumped, anxious to emaciation with sallow complexion. Then find the

rule of carpenter, but the lack of copper hoist model, then on the gate post up Zhaoxian list. After January, still have not little below. Zhu Geliang daily in Zhaoxian alternate pace, happily wagged feather fan.
The gate of the city there are three set the cobbler, their appearance is ugly, and not know a single word, everyone says they are heads. They heard Zhu Geliang in search of the people happy, the heart is not convinced, then together. They spent three days time, finally cut shoe pattern approach, cut out of a gourd. Then, with a leather material, just an awl awl, a slit into a large gourd model. Casting copper in water, the skin gourd buried in the sand. This move, it successfully. Zhu Geliang hyacinth copper casting good news, Sun Quan immediately to leave, then also dare not belittle Soochow. So it is said, " the three stooges, better than Zhu Geliang " story, became a profound Chinese Proverbs
Again, " two heads are better than one. ", heard that the original " three foul Bijiang, better than Zhu Geliang ", " Bijiang, has also ", because " cobbler" and " Bijiang " homonym, so it was said. Metaphor more people than wisdom, please after we discuss, will be able to find a good way to.
People often say, two heads are better than one. This sentence is encountered a problem to rely on the collective wisdom and strength, emphasized the importance of teamwork and benefit by mutual discussion. In our daily work, such as the internal technical issues, often encounter is the meeting directly and indirectly related to the leadership and staff of many, will in a sea of people, led by a hope to solve the problem. But careful observation will find, when meeting for specific problems is very understanding, the real expert, can really make correct decisions and dare clappers is that a few people, even a person, meeting other people said is nonsense, nonsense, misleading, false words, repeated words for specific problems, because they are poorly understood and poorly understood, no relevant expertise. These people appear often do more harm than good, it will not only make the meeting became long and tedious, and sometimes to discuss issues get error solution, because they wrong statements often can rise to public clamor can melt metals. The effect, therefore become the fallacy of truth; all the meeting a " advantages " is decision-making risk responsibility shared. From the point of view, the meeting decision or mean daily work efficiency is low, or mean decision management business is not good, or mean policymakers avoid responsibility.
The cobbler is how the stooges, the Three Stooges will top of Zhu Geliang?! 2:
