短篇寓言故事英文版 4Making His Mark 刻舟求剑

A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later.

成语故事：

战国时，楚国有个人坐船渡江。船到江心，楚人一不小心，随身携带的一把宝剑滑落江中，他赶紧伸手去抓，可惜为时已晚，宝剑已经落入江中。船上的人对此感到非常惋惜。

但那楚人似乎胸有成竹，马上掏出一把小刀，在船舷上刻上个记号，并且对大家说：“这是宝剑落水的地方，所以我要刻上一个记号。”

大家都不理解他为何要这样做，也不再去问他。

船靠岸后，那楚人立即在船上刻有记号的地方下水，去捞取掉落的宝剑。楚人捞了半天，始终不见宝剑的影子。他觉得很奇怪，自言自语地说“我的宝剑不就是从这里掉下去的吗？我还在这里刻上了记号，现在怎么会找不到呢？”

听他这么一说，那些人纷纷大笑起来，说道：“船一直在行进，而你的宝剑却沉入了水底，不会随船移动，你又怎能找得到你的剑呢？”
