探驪得珠 中英對照 成語故事

很久很久以前,有一戶人家住在黃河邊上,靠割蘆葦、編帘子簸箕為生,日子過得非常貧困。

有一天,兒子在河邊割蘆葦,烈日當空,曬得他頭昏眼花,於是他就坐下來休息。他望着眼前的河水在陽光下閃耀着粼粼波光,想起父親說過,在河的最深處有許多珍寶,可是誰也不敢去,因為那裡住着一條兇猛的黑龍叫驪龍,他想,要是潛到河底,找到珍寶,我們一家人就用不着像現在這樣一天干到晚,三頓還吃不飽,不如豁出去試一試。他把心一橫,三下兩下脫了衣服,一頭扎進冰冷的河裡。

開始他還看得見四周的小魚在游來游去,再往深處,光線變得越來越暗,水也越來越涼,最後,他什麼都看不見了,四周一團漆黑。他心裡有點害怕,不知該往哪兒游。就在這時,不遠處有一個圓圓的物體在閃閃發光,定睛細看,啊,原來是明珠!他憋足一口氣游過去,雙手抱住明珠,使勁一拽,明珠就到了他懷裡。他迅速浮出水面,上岸后撒腿就往家跑。

父親一見明珠,就問他是從哪兒得到的。他把經過一五一十地向父親講述一遍。父親聽了說:“好險哪!這顆價值千金的明珠是長在黑龍下巴底下的,你摘它的時候黑龍必定是睡著了。它要是醒着,你可就沒命了。”故事見於《莊子列禦寇》。成語“探驪得珠”,比喻寫文章能緊扣主題,抓住要點。
