　　翻译：老故事咂出新滋味

铁杵磨成针的故事告诉我们：白费力气的事尽管感人但却是可笑的。明明买根针就能做活，非要用根大铁棒磨它个三年两载。方向和方法错了，功夫下的再深也不行。

三顾茅庐的故事告诉我们：机遇是等来的。如果孔明先生主动上门求职，就不见得有这样的效果。不过，这话只适合古代，现代人即使比孔明的本事大十倍，坐在家里干等也不见得有机遇出现。天知道重视人才的观念是进步了还是退步了。

龟兔赛跑的故事告诉我们：永远不要以己之短比别人之长，更不要因一时的侥幸成功把短当成长。如果是乌龟，可以跟兔子比潜水，也可以跟兔子比长寿，这才是乌龟的强项。

井底的之蛙故事告诉我们：什么样的环境早就什么样的人生，反过来也同样，什么样的人生适合什么样的环境。别指责青蛙的短浅愚昧，因为蛙绝不可能从井底迁到东海生存。如果蛙受了教育启发，从此志在东海，那只有徒增烦恼了。

武松打虎的故事告诉我们：英雄有时是被逼出来的。武松胆儿再大也是正常人，没有人不拍老虎的道理。要不是犟脾气加上十五碗小酒，决不回去做打虎的壮举。其实他也没想到会遇上老虎，真的'遇上反而酒都被吓醒了，说明他并不是真的想当英雄。不是他死就是虎亡，他把自己逼成了英雄。现实的很多典型与此很类似，每一个英雄的出现都是有前提的。

螳臂当车的故事告诉我们：即便粉身碎骨，也要为改变现状做一些看似无效的努力。也许，当轮前的螳臂多了，车会慢下来或者停下来。
