【成语故事】愚公移山(How Yu Gong Moved Away Two High Mountains) There were two high mountains between Jizhou in the south and Heyang in the north. One was called Taihang Mountain and the other Wangwu Mountain. Both of the mountains were very high. Just to the north of the mountains lived an old man called Yu Gong who was nearly 90 years old. With the two high mountains just in front of his house, his family and he had to walk a long way around the mountains whenever they had something to do on the other side of the mountains. One day, Yu Gong called all his family together to talk about how to move the two mountains to other places. His wife said, "An old man like you cannot even move a small hill, not to mention the two high mountains. Even if you can, where can you throw so much earth and stone?" "The Bohai Sea is big enough to contain all the earth and stone," Yu Gong said. So it was decided. His children started to dig the mountains, led by the old man Yu Gong. A man named Zhi Sou saw them working and tried to stop them, saying, "You are so silly! You're so old and weak that you can't even take away the grass and trees. How can you move the high mountains?" "You're wrong," Yu Gong said with a sigh. "Look, my sons can continue my work after my death. When my sons die, my grandchildren will continue. So generations after generations, there's no end. But the mountains can't grow higher. Do you still say I can’t move them away?" Later the He aven God, upon learning of Yu Gong’s story, was greatly moved. He then ordered another god to come down and take the two high mountains away. The story tells us that so long as one is determined and sticks to it long enough, anything can be done, no matter how difficult it is. 译文： 在冀州的南面，河阳的北面，有两座巍峨的大山，一座是太行，一座是王屋，

愚公移山剧本-英文(汇编)
愚公移山剧本 人物：愚公、愚公妻及其他家人若干、邻居小男孩、智叟、山神、天帝、差役、夸娥氏二子。 第一幕 愚公家里。愚公全家大小若干人围桌而坐。 愚公（咳了两声嗽）今天把我们全家人召集起来是想商量一件大事。 你们都知道，太行、王屋这两座大山挡在我们家房前，害得我们进进出出都要绕道而行。这样长久下去可不是个办法，不如我们将它铲平，让道路直通豫州的南部、汉水的南岸。你们看，可以吗？ 众家人（异口同声）这样好啊！ 愚公妻老头子，好是好，可是你已年老体衰，连魁父这样的小山都铲不平，又怎能铲平这两座大山呢？况且那些挖下来的泥土石块扔到哪儿去呢？ 其他人等七嘴八舌，议论起来。 一儿子妈妈，这个你不用担心。我们可以用簸箕将它运到渤海的边上、隐土的北面。 愚公我看这个办法行得通，就这么办。我们明天就开工！
小孙子（蹦跳着欢呼）嚯……我们明天要挖山啰！嚯…… 闭幕。 第二幕 在凿石挖土和劳动号子声中幕启。两座巍峨的大山脚下，愚公家几个成年男人正在忙碌地劳动。 邻居小男孩蹦蹦跳跳上。 小男孩愚公爷爷，我也来帮你们挖山，好吗？ 愚公（停下劳动，手拄锄头，擦擦额上汗水，又弯腰摸摸小男孩的头）好哇，好哇！没想到，你小小年纪也来帮我们。你真乖！ 小男孩加入劳动队伍中，往簸箕里搬小石块。 智叟袖着手，缓步而上，走至愚公跟前。 智叟愚公啊愚公，你真是太不聪明了！你已风烛残年，连山上的一棵小小的草木都奈何不了，又能把这两座大山怎么样呢？我看你就别白费力气啦，在家里享几天清福吧！ 愚公唉！智叟老弟，你真是个老顽固，顽固到了不可改变的地步，连那孤儿寡妇都不如！你也不想想，即使我死了，还有我的儿子呀，我的儿子又有儿子，儿子的儿子又有儿子，我们家子子孙孙不停地繁衍，永远没有穷尽的时候，而这两座大山却不会再增高加大，何愁挖不平呢！

愚公移山 原文： 太行（háng）,王屋二山，方七百里，高万仞（rèn）。本在冀（jì）州之南，河阳之北。 北山愚公者，年且九十，面山而居。惩（chéng）山北之塞(sè)，出入之迂（yū）也。聚室而谋曰：“吾与汝毕力平险，指通豫南，达于汉阴，可乎”杂然相许。其妻献疑曰：“以君之力，曾（céng）不能损魁（kuí）父之丘，如太行、王屋何且焉置土石”杂曰：“投诸渤海之尾，隐土之北。”遂率子孙荷（hè）担者三夫，叩（kòu）石垦壤，箕畚（jī běn）运于渤海之尾。邻人京城氏之孀（shuāng）妻有遗男，始龀（chèn），跳往助之。寒暑易节，始一反焉。 河曲（qǔ）智叟（sǒu）笑而止之曰：“甚矣，汝之不惠（huì）！以残年余力，曾不能毁山之一毛，其如土石何”北山愚公长息曰：“汝心之固，固不可彻（chè），曾不若孀妻弱子。虽我之死，有子存焉；子又生孙，孙又生子；子又有子，子又有孙；子子孙孙无穷匮（kuì）也，而山不加增，何苦而不平”河曲智叟亡(wú)以应。 操蛇之神闻之，惧其不已也，告之于帝。帝感其诚，命夸娥氏二子负二山，一厝(cuò)朔东，一厝雍南。自此，冀之南，汉之阴，无陇（lǒng）断焉。译文： 太行、王屋（这）两座山，方圆七百里，高七八千丈，本来在冀州南边，黄河北岸的北边。 北山的愚公，年纪将近90岁，面对着山居住。他苦于山区北部的阻塞，出来进去（都要）绕道，就召集全家人商量说：“我跟你们尽力挖平险峻的大山，
使道路一直通到豫州南部，到达汉水南岸，可以吗”大家纷纷表示赞同。他的妻子提出疑问说：“凭借您的力量，连魁父这座小山丘也平不了，又能把太行、王屋这两座山怎么样呢况且把土石放到哪里呢”众人纷纷说：“把它扔到渤海的边上，隐土的北边。”于是愚公带领儿孙中能挑担子的三个人上了山，凿石掘土，用箕畚运到渤海边上。邻居京城氏的寡妇有个孤儿，刚七八岁，蹦蹦跳跳地去帮助他。冬夏换季，才能往返一次。 河湾上的智叟讥笑愚公，阻止他干这件事，说：“你太不聪明了！就凭你余留的岁月和剩下的力气，连山上的一棵草都动不了，又能把泥土、石头怎么样呢”北山愚公长叹说：“你思想顽固，顽固到了不可改变的地步，连孤儿寡妇都比不上。即使我死了，还有儿子在呀；儿子又生孙子，孙子又生儿子；儿子又有儿子，儿子又有孙子；子子孙孙无穷无尽，可是山却不会增高加大，担心什么挖不平”河曲智叟无话可答。 山神听说了这件事，怕他没完没了地挖下去，向天帝报告了。天帝被愚公的诚心所感动，命令大力神夸娥氏的两个儿子背走了那两座山，一座放在朔方的东部，一座放在雍州的南部。从这时开始，冀州的南部直到汉水南岸，再也没有高山阻隔了。

Mr. Fool the Mountain Mover 愚公移山 Once upon a time, there was an old man named Mr. Fool. Over 90 years old as he was, he was still in good health and enjoying his time in the big family with many children and grandchildren. With lovely kids and friendly neighbors, he led a simple happy life. Only one thing annoyed him: two big mountains sat right in front of his house and everyone in the family had to walk extra miles to circle around them if they were to go out. One day Mr. Fool said to the rest of the family. "I've been thinking for a long time. I will move the mountains. Are you going to join me?" They all nodded, except his wife, who asked, "Where to put the mountain rocks?" He answered, "We can dump them in the sea!" He started to work the next day. Everyone in the family pitched in, men digging and carting while women delivering food and supplies. The sea was so far away from their home that it would take a whole year to cart the rocks to the sea and come back on foot. A neighbor's boy, about six or seven years old, also joined the team. Young as he was, he was eager to help and worked hard with Mr. Fool's grandchildren to cart the rocks. Another old man in the village, Mr. Wise, thought Mr. Fool was making a rod for his own back and laughed at him. Mr. Wise said to Mr. Fool, "Even plucking a weed is no easy job for an old man like you. How dare you think of moving those two mountains? You are literally daydreaming!" Mr. Fool pointed to the working scene and said, "How do you know it's impossible? When I die, my children and grandchildren will carry on the work, and they will have children who bear more children. My life is limited, so is the workload, but my offspring is not, and we will win." Surprised by and disappointed at the stubborn man, Mr. Wise shook his head and went away. Mr. Fool and his family continued their work. Their fatigue was relieved by clean drinking water brought by their loved ones and the pathway stretching further ahead with each passing day. The gods of the two mountains got to know Mr. Fool's endeavor and reported it to Emperor Jade, "The stubborn old guy is indeed persistent. What a spirit! Well, let us give me a hand!"

Emperor Jade agreed and sent two titans to help the hard-working family. They each carried a mountain and moved them. With no mountains in their way anymore, Mr. Fool and his family as well as their fellow villagers lived happily thereafter.
