【水墨动画】望梅止渴｜成语故事｜中英双语 Quenching Thirst with Thoughts of Plums

大热天，曹操带着大军走在长长的山路上，水葫芦空了，去河边打水的小路也找不到了。士兵们找了干河沟、老井和亮闪闪的石头，都没有水，有的坐在路边再也不想走。曹操望着前面的山坡大喊：“翻过这座山，有一大片梅林！”大家一想到酸酸的梅子，嘴里就冒出了口水，一口气爬上了山顶——山下没有梅林，却有一条真正的小河。孩子们从故事里认识成语“望梅止渴”：一句话能给人盼头和力气，而今天这个成语常用来说“只能用想象来安慰自己”。学一学：“渴”是三点水旁，“梅”是木字旁，还有《世说新语》原文“士卒闻之，口皆出水”。成语故事第15个，改编自《世说新语·假谲》。 On a scorching day, Cao Cao's army marches along a dry mountain road; the gourds are empty and the path to the river is lost. A dry creek, an empty well and rocks that only glitter like water — no luck, and soldiers sit down by the road. Then Cao Cao points at the hill: "Over there is a big plum grove!" Just thinking of sour plums makes everyone's mouth water, and they climb the hill — to find no grove, but a real river.
