My Toy Bear

Today, mother came back from work, and very mysteriously said to me: “Cong cong, guess what I have bought for you?” I guessed many times, but mother repeatedly shook her head. Seeing my impatience, she took something from her backpack, I happily and excitedly took it from her and looked, ah! It was a pair of cute toy bears.

These two toy bears’ bodies were white as snow, they were pressed close together like a pair of dear sisters. Half-circle ears, small noses pointed outwards, a pair of eyes like two black pearls, chubby bodies, round head, all make them very lovable.

Most interesting is that if you use your hand to pat their arms, they automatically play some sweet-sounding music, it’s really wonderful [lit: fun]!

These two toys are like my good friends, they accompany me every day, and they bring lots of fun to my family. I like my toy bears.

今天，妈妈下班回来，神秘兮兮地对我说: “聪聪，猜猜看，我给你买什么了?我猜了好几次，妈妈都连连摇头。她看我急不可耐的样子，从背包里拿出一样东西，我兴高采烈地接过一看，啊，原来是一对可爱的玩具熊。

这两只玩具熊全身雪白雪白的，它们紧紧挨在一起，像一对亲密的小姐妹。半圆形的耳朵，小小的鼻子向前翘着，一双眼睛像两颗黑珍珠，胖乎乎的身体，圆圆的脑袋，让人喜欢得不得了。

更有趣的是，如果用手拍它的胳膊，它就会发出悦耳动听的音乐来，真是好玩极了。

两只玩具熊像我的好朋友，它们天天陪伴着我，给我家带来无穷的欢乐。我喜欢我的玩具熊。

刻舟求剑

Long ago, there was a man from the State of Chu who loved his sword very much. One day, he was sitting in his boat preparing to cross a river, when he accidentally dropped his sword into the water. He immediately made a notch on the side of the boat at the place where his dear sword fell. When he returned

close to shore, he re-entered the water just beneath the notch he made, looking for his sword. Naturally, he wasn’t able to find it.

The sword was already gone because the boat and the river were in motion. This idiom is used to describe a person who sticks to rigid rules without considering a changing environment [or describes an action made pointless by changing circumstances].

从前有一位楚国人, 他非常爱惜他的宝剑。有一天，他正坐在船上准备过河，一不小心他就把宝剑掉进了河里。他马上在宝剑掉落的地方作了记号。当他到达对岸的时候，他沿着记号跳进河里去找他的宝剑。当然，他已经找不到了。

宝剑已经不在原来掉落的地方因为船和水都在移动。这个故事形容只会刻板地遵守规则，不懂变通的人。

神农尝百草

All his life, Shen Nong had a crystal abdomen, and one could clearly see all of his internal organs. At that time, humans were often getting sick and even dying because they ate things indiscriminately [not knowing if they were good or bad]. Shen Nong determinedly tasted everything everywhere; the good-tasting things he put in a bag on his left side, those were for people to eat; the bad-tasting things he put in a bag on his right side, and those were used for medicine.

The first time, Shen Nong tasted a small fresh leaf. As this leaf fell

into his stomach, it cleaned every inch of his insides so that every organ top and bottom was fresh and cool, as if [the leaf] was somehow on patrol [making the rounds], so Shen Nong called it “chá” [to investigate / check], and

lat er generations of men called it “chá” [tea]. Shen Nong put it in the bag on the right. The second time, Shen Nong tasted a little light red flower that looked like a butterfly, which was sweet and delicious, with an exotic smell that filled his nostrils, s o he called it “licorice”. He put it in the bag on the left. In this way, Shen Nong diligently tasted all manner of flora, and every time he was poisoned, he used tea to rescue himself. Before long, the bag on his left contained 47,000 kinds of flowers, grasses, roots and leaves, and the right side had 398,000 kinds.

But one day, Shen Nong tasted “heartbreak grass”, and this poison was too terrible, so there wasn’t enough time to eat the tea leaves to detoxify and he died. He sacrificed himself to save humanity, so people call him the
