拔苗助长英语故事2
Once upon a time1, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day. But still, he thought they were growing too slowly. He got impatient with the young plants. "How could the plants grow faster?" He tossed in bed during the night and could not sleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea. He had an idea not wait for daybreak. He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field. By the moonlight, he began working on the rice seedlings. One by one, he pulled up2 the young plants by half an inch. When he finished pulling, it was already morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself, "What a wonderful idea!3 Look, how much taller the plants have grown one night!" With great satisfaction, he went back home. He told his son what he had done in a triumphant tone. His son was shocked. Now the sun had risen. The young man was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
从前，有一位农民在一块地里种稻子。每天他都要去地里看稻子的生长情况，他看到稻子的种子破土而出并且一天天的在长高。但是他嫌稻子长得太慢了，就等得有点不耐烦。“怎样才能让他们长得更快呢?”夜里他躺在床上翻来覆去睡不着。突然他想出来一个好主意，他甚至等不到天亮就起身奔向稻田。借着月光他把每颗稻苗都拔高了半寸，当他全部拔完已经是早晨了。他直起腰自言自语的说：“这个主义直太棒了!稻苗一夜之间就长了这么高!”他心满意足的回到家里，得意洋洋的对儿子说起他的壮举，儿子惊呆了。太阳升起来了，年轻人伤心的看到被拔高的稻苗都枯萎了。
