文档介绍：3. 刻舟求剑
Carving a boat and be eager for a sward
一天,有个楚国人坐船过河,一不小心,身上挂的宝剑掉进河里去了。他一点儿也不着急,慢腾腾地拿出小刀,在船舷上刻了一个记号。
One day, a person in Chu state was crossing a river by a boat, then, a precious sward on his clothes fell into the river accidentally. He was not worried about it at all; he slowly took a knife out, and then made a mark on the side of the boat.
有人问他:
Someone asked him:
“为什么不赶快下水把它捞起来?你在船舷上刻这个记号有什么用啊?”
“Why do not you dump into the river and pick it up? Is it useful to make a mark on the side of the boat? ”
他指着船舷上的记号,不慌不忙地说:
He pointed the mark on the boat and said calmly:
“不用着急。我的宝剑是从这个刻着记号的地方掉下去的。等船到了码头,靠了岸,我从这里跳下去,就能把宝剑捞上来。
”
“Do not worry about that. My sword fell down from the place where there is a mark. When the boat reaches the bank, I will go into river according the mark, and then I will get my sword.”
