Idiom: 愚公移山 the Foolish Old Man, who removed the mountains


Listen Later

愚公移山。传说古时候有两座大山,一座叫太行山,一座叫王屋山。那里的北山住着一位老人名叫愚公,快90岁了。他每次出门,都因被这两座大山阻隔,要绕很大的圈子,才能到南方去。
一天,他把全家人召集起来,说:“我准备与你们一起,用毕生的精力来搬掉太行山和王屋山,修一条通向南方的大道。你们说好吗!”
大家都表示赞成,但愚公的老伴提出了一个问题:“我们大家的力量加起来,还不能搬移一座小山,又怎能把太行、王屋两座大山搬掉呢?再说,把那些挖出来的泥土和石块放到哪里去呢?”
讨论下来大家认为,可以把挖出来的泥土和石块扔到东方的海边和北方最远的地方。
第二天一早,愚公带着儿孙们开始挖山。虽然一家人每天挖不了多少,但他们还是坚持挖。直到换季节的时候,才回家一次。
有个名叫智叟的老人得知这件事后,特地来劝愚公说:“你这样做太不聪明了,凭你这有限的精力,又怎能把这两座山挖平呢?”愚公回答说:“你这个人太顽固了,简直无法开导,即使我死了,还有我的儿子在这里。儿子死了,还有孙子,孙子又生孩子,孩子又生儿子。子子孙孙是没有穷尽的,而山却不会再增高,为什么挖不平呢?”
当时山神见愚公他们挖山不止,便向上帝报告了这件事。上帝被愚公的精神感动,派了两个大力神下凡,把两座山背走。从此,这里不再有高山阻隔了。 比喻坚持不懈地改造自然和坚定不移地进行奋斗。
