引言：
我認(rèn)為人一生就應(yīng)該盡全力做最好的自己------我想這就是我的信仰。
---埃莉諾.羅斯福
Growth That Starts From Thinking
It seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. I think I was fortunate because I grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious feeling. I don’t think it was spoken of a great deal. It was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain reinforcements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in God and your knowledge of prayer.
But as I grew older I questioned a great many of the things that I knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. And I think I might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn’t been for the fact that my husband once said it didn’t do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? When they grow up they’ll think things out for themselves.
And that gave me a feeling that perhaps that’s what we all must do—think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.
I don’t know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some “going on.” How exactly that happens I’ve never been able to decide. There is a future—that I’m sure of. But how, that I don’t know. And I came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do—it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were accomplishing by being here.
And so I have tried to follow that out—and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. I think I am pretty much of a fatalist. You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
在思考中成長(zhǎng)
我的信念是什么，它在我的人生中起到了什么作用------這些問(wèn)題我覺(jué)得很難用言語(yǔ)解釋清楚。我認(rèn)為自己很幸運(yùn)，因?yàn)槲页錾谝粋�(gè)篤信宗教的家庭。家里人對(duì)宗教談?wù)摰貌⒉欢�。每個(gè)人心中或多或少都有某些信仰，都希望通過(guò)某種方式獲得力量，而這力量就來(lái)自信奉上帝并懂得如何祈禱。
我是在祖母身邊長(zhǎng)大的。隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，我對(duì)許多祖母視作理所當(dāng)然的事產(chǎn)生了懷疑。我甚至拒絕讓孩子們接觸這些東西，似乎成了一個(gè)不近情理的人。直到有一次我丈夫勸我，這些東西你年少時(shí)也接觸過(guò)，對(duì)你也并無(wú)壞處。既然如此，何不讓孩子們也有了解它們的機(jī)會(huì)呢？他們長(zhǎng)大以后會(huì)獨(dú)立思考這些問(wèn)題的。
他的話使我感到或許我們每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該這樣做------獨(dú)立思考自己應(yīng)該信仰什么以及如何在生活中堅(jiān)守自己的的信仰。我認(rèn)為人一生就應(yīng)該盡全力做最好的自己------我想這就是我的信仰。
我不知道自己是否相信未來(lái)。我相信的是我們現(xiàn)在經(jīng)歷的`一切一定有價(jià)值，因此必有某些道理，也必然預(yù)示著有些事情“將要發(fā)生”。但這些事情如何發(fā)生，我卻不能決定。一定有未來(lái)------對(duì)此我深信不疑。但它會(huì)怎樣降臨。我不知道，然而著一點(diǎn)，我漸漸感到并不重要。因?yàn)闊o(wú)論未來(lái)如何，我們到時(shí)候總得面對(duì)，正如無(wú)論生活中發(fā)生了什么，我們都必須面對(duì)一樣。真正重要的是要傾盡自己的全力。也許你能力有限、貢獻(xiàn)不多，無(wú)法給予他人更多的幫助，或者無(wú)法活得那么精彩，但只要你能傾盡自己的全力，你就能完成來(lái)到人世間的使命，能體現(xiàn)人生的價(jià)值。
這就是我一直奉行的生活原則------不擔(dān)心未來(lái)的事，也不為下一刻發(fā)生的事操心。我想我算是一個(gè)相信宿命的人吧。無(wú)論發(fā)生什么，我們都得勇敢面對(duì)，關(guān)鍵是面對(duì)的時(shí)候我們要勇敢，要傾盡自己的全力。

【難句釋義】我的信念是什么，它在我的人生中起到了什么作用------這些問(wèn)題我覺(jué)得很難用言語(yǔ)解釋清楚。
【難句解析】句中"it"指"to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life",其中"put into word"意思是“用語(yǔ)言表達(dá)”，"they"指"beliefs "。

【難句釋義】我是在祖母身邊長(zhǎng)大的。隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，我對(duì)許多祖母視作理所當(dāng)然的事產(chǎn)生了懷疑。

3.But how, that I don’t know. And I came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way.
【難句釋義】但它會(huì)怎樣降臨。我不知道，然而著一點(diǎn)，我漸漸感到并不重要。因?yàn)闊o(wú)論未來(lái)如何，我們到時(shí)候總得面對(duì)，正如無(wú)論生活中發(fā)生了什么，我們都必須面對(duì)一樣。
【難句解析】"how"是"how it happens"的省略形式，“whatever the future held”意思是“無(wú)論未來(lái)如何”。

網(wǎng)開(kāi)一面
Give the wrong-doer a way out
Beginning with Yu the GREat, the Xia Dynasty had lasted about four hundred years before Jie became the supreme ruler.
And that was in the 18th century BC. Jie was extremely tyrannical and dissolute. This aroused GREat resentment among the people. Tang, the Chief of the tribe Shang took advantage of this situation to overthrow the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty in the early 17th century BC. Among the preparations for the overthrow had been the winning over of popular support.
One day, Tang was having a walk in the open country. He saw a man catching birds with a big net spread in a box-like and mumbling: "Come on, birds! Come into my net. All of you, whether you are flying high or low, east or west. Come into my net!"
Tang walked over and said to the man, "This method is ruthless! You'll spare no birds this way!" With these words, he cut the net down on three sides. Then he murmured in a light voice as if praying: "Oh, birds! Fly to the left or right as you like. And if you're really tired of your life, come into this net!"
When chiefs of other tribes heard about this, they were all moved. They said, "Tang is a good king indeed. He is so kind even to birds and beasts. He must be more merciful to human beings." And very soon, about forty tribes pledged allegiance to Tang.
From that story came the idiom "Open the net on three sides". Later, people changed it into "Give the wrong-doer a way out."， indicating to be lenient to the wrong-doers.
網(wǎng)開(kāi)一面
從大禹到桀，夏朝一共持續(xù)了四百多年的歷史。
那是在公元前十八世紀(jì)。桀是個(gè)極端殘暴，放蕩的人。他激起了人民的極度不滿。部落商的領(lǐng)袖湯利用這個(gè)形勢(shì)，推翻了夏朝，并在公元前十七世紀(jì)早期建立了商朝。在準(zhǔn)備這場(chǎng)推翻夏朝的`行動(dòng)中，湯贏得了廣泛的支持。
一天，湯在一片開(kāi)闊的田野里散步。他看見(jiàn)一個(gè)人正在捕鳥(niǎo)。那人支開(kāi)一張像籠子般的大網(wǎng)，喃喃的說(shuō)："來(lái)吧，鳥(niǎo)兒們!飛到我的網(wǎng)里來(lái)。無(wú)論是飛得高的還是低的，向東還是向西的，所有的鳥(niǎo)兒都飛到我的網(wǎng)里來(lái)吧!"
湯走過(guò)去對(duì)那個(gè)人說(shuō)："你這種方法太殘忍了!這樣作你連一只鳥(niǎo)也不放過(guò)!"
一邊說(shuō)著，湯砍斷了三面網(wǎng)。然后，像做祈禱那樣，他輕輕的低聲說(shuō)道，"哦，鳥(niǎo)兒們，喜歡向左飛的，就向左飛;喜歡向右飛的，就向右飛;如果你真的厭倦了你的生活，就飛入這張網(wǎng)吧!"
其它部落的首領(lǐng)得知這件事后都非常感動(dòng)。他們說(shuō)："湯真是一位賢王啊。他對(duì)鳥(niǎo)獸都如此仁慈，何況是對(duì)人呢?" 不久就有四十多個(gè)部落宣誓效忠湯。
"網(wǎng)開(kāi)三面"這個(gè)成語(yǔ)就是由此而來(lái)的。后來(lái)，人們把它改為"網(wǎng)開(kāi)一面"，表示寬容的對(duì)待做錯(cuò)事的人。

He is a Harvard graduate playing in the National Basketball Association. He is an Asian-American in a league devoid of them, which makes him doubly anomalous. No team drafted Lin in 20xx. Two teams cut him in December, before the Knicks picked him up.
His contract, potentially worth nearly $800,000, was not even guaranteed until Tuesday afternoon. So for the past six weeks, Lin, 23, has been sleeping in his brother Josh’s living room, waiting for clarity and career security.
On Saturday night, Lin came off the bench and powered the Knicks to a 99-92 victory over the Nets at Madison Square Garden, scoring a career-best 25 points with 7 assists. Two nights later, he made his first N.B.A. start and produced 28 points and 8 assists in a 99-88 win over the Utah Jazz.
Knicks fans now serenade Lin with chants of “Je-re-my!” and “M.V.P.!”. With every game, every precision pass and every clever drive to the basket, Lin is raising expectations, altering the Knicks’ fate and redefining the word “unlikely.” On Twitter, fans and basketball pundits are using another term to describe the phenomenon: “Linsanity.”
Two weeks ago, the 6-foot-3 Lin was not even part of the Knicks’ point-guard rotation, despite their lack of talent at the position. He played sparingly in a few games, showing just enough promise to keep getting another look— a few more minutes, another quarter. But there was never any hint of what was to come.
With 25 points Saturday, Lin set the N.B.A. scoring record for a player from Harvard. For an encore, he became the first player in more than 30 years to record at least 28 points and 8 assists in his first N.B.A. start. The last to do so was Isiah Thomas, the Detroit Pistons’ Hall of Fame point guard, in October 1981.
“I don’t think anyone, including myself, saw this coming,” Lin said after the game Monday.
他是NBA賽場(chǎng)上少有的名校哈佛畢業(yè)生，他是聯(lián)盟里少見(jiàn)的亞裔美國(guó)人，這樣雙重特殊身份的林書(shū)豪，在20xx年NBA新秀大會(huì)上落選，20xx年12月先后被金州勇士隊(duì)和休斯敦火箭隊(duì)裁掉，之后紐約尼克斯隊(duì)宣布簽下他。
尼克斯與他簽下的合同價(jià)值約為80萬(wàn)美元，也許在這之前他持有的是非保障合同，但到周二下午6點(diǎn)(球隊(duì)裁員的截至日子)林書(shū)豪的的合同自動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)為了保障合同，他將安全的留在尼克斯隊(duì)。事實(shí)上在過(guò)去的6周里，23歲的林書(shū)豪因?yàn)椴淮_定自己是否能夠繼續(xù)留在紐約，一直寄居在哥哥家當(dāng)沙發(fā)客，等待職業(yè)生涯中保障合同的出現(xiàn)。
上周六的晚上，紐約尼克斯在麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)花園主場(chǎng)迎戰(zhàn)新澤西網(wǎng)隊(duì)，板凳席上的林書(shū)豪臨危受命，拿下了職業(yè)生涯最高的25分7助攻，幫助尼克斯99比92戰(zhàn)勝網(wǎng)隊(duì)。兩天后，林書(shū)豪獲得NBA的第一次首發(fā)機(jī)會(huì)，在對(duì)陣猶他爵士隊(duì)的比賽中砍下28分8助攻。
麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)花園的球迷們齊聲歡呼“Jeremy”和“MVP”。每一場(chǎng)比賽，每一個(gè)精準(zhǔn)的過(guò)人，每一次聰明的突破，林書(shū)豪給球迷們帶來(lái)希望，改變了尼克斯隊(duì)的命運(yùn)，也再次重新定義了“不可能”。在推特上，球迷和籃球權(quán)威人士用Linsanity “為林瘋狂” 這個(gè)標(biāo)簽來(lái)描述這種林書(shū)豪熱現(xiàn)象(Linsanity：Lin+insanity)。
兩周前，這個(gè)身高1米91的華裔小個(gè)子甚至根本不在尼克斯隊(duì)的.控球后衛(wèi)輪轉(zhuǎn)名單中，盡管尼克斯目前在控衛(wèi)的位置缺乏優(yōu)秀的人才。在此之前他只打過(guò)幾場(chǎng)比賽，但他的表現(xiàn)足以讓教練注意到他。慢慢地，他的上場(chǎng)時(shí)間在增加：多了幾分鐘，再打一節(jié)。林書(shū)豪的傳奇成功不是無(wú)跡可尋的。
在周六砍下25分的一球成名戰(zhàn)后，林書(shū)豪也創(chuàng)下了NBA賽場(chǎng)上哈佛畢業(yè)生的得分記錄。第二場(chǎng)比賽中，他再次創(chuàng)下記錄，成為NBA賽場(chǎng)30多年里首發(fā)首秀拿到28分8助攻的第一人。上次拿到這個(gè)得分的是在1981年10月，底特律活塞隊(duì)伊塞亞·托馬斯(NBA名人堂球員)。
林書(shū)豪在周一比賽后表示，“我相信任何人包括我自己在內(nèi)，都沒(méi)有預(yù)想到這樣的成績(jī)”。

驚弓之鳥(niǎo)
A bird startled by the mere twang of a bow-string
During the time of the Warring States (475-221 BC)， there lived a well-known archer named Geng Ying whose art in shooting was excelled by none at his time.
One day, as he was standing by the side of the King of Wei, a flock of swan geese were flying over. With confidence, Geng Ying said to the king, "The twang of my bow-string might bring down a bird." The King doubted much. Just then a solitary swan goose appeared, low and slow in its flight, sad and dolorous in its cry. Instantly Geng Ying bended his bow and forcibly pulled the bowstring. Twang! High up went he shrilling sound into the air and down fell the bird to the ground. The king admired with bewilderment. Gang Ying then explained: "The bird was flying low and slow, because it was already hurt; it was crying in a bitter tone, because it had lost its companions. Due to the fact that it was already hurt and sad at heart, the twang of my strong bow, that birds dreaded most, startled it. The shrilling sound made its heart beat fast, its wings weak, its balance uneven. Thus it fell down just as commonly as a man drops his chop-sticks, at the thunder-stroke, at a dinner table." Henceforth comes the idiom "A bird startled by the mere twang of a bow-string", illustrating a case where a man who had been previously and repeatedly frightened became numb and stupefied by a new thing of the same nature not knowing how to face the new situation.

When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

Wolf, it seems that anger does not bother, just withdraw it, let it sing alone. Birds found the Wolf's frustration, they fly down from thestone, near the Wolf cried. Birds may not know of such a move is dangerous, wolves if they suddenly stretched paw could grasp it, butWolf did not do.
I've been waiting for a long time, they still live. Suddenly, I felt my fear is unnecessary, how do I know the bird calls in the expression of what is it? I'm just human psychology, in fear for them, perhaps, the birds are telling a happy thing for wolves!
From the look of it, birds and wolves so close contact, how incredible it is. If you see this scene is a timid man, he would fear for the bird to; if you see this is a broad minded person, he may find that thebeauty of life against each other, you will see life in the pursuit of beauty of the brave heart will show.
The highest form of life, "take it, well-which is" as if a wolf is tied infront, just as it sing; if a bird flew up to himself and sang happily, patiently to be an audience, so it is friendly and beautiful life.
Throughout the day, so a Wolf and a bird. They make up a mirror,and all the people who saw them were reflected in it.

一只鳥(niǎo)兒落在距離狼約一米遠(yuǎn)的一塊石頭上。被村民拴住的狼抬起頭望著它，顯示出一種本能的警惕。鳥(niǎo)兒也許已經(jīng)看出來(lái)了這只狼身受禁錮，便不怕它了，在它面前恣意妄為。
狼似乎不怒也不煩，只是非常冷漠地看著它，任它獨(dú)自鳴叫。鳥(niǎo)兒發(fā)現(xiàn)了狼的無(wú)奈，便從石頭上飛下，靠近狼叫了起來(lái)。鳥(niǎo)兒可能不知道自己的這種舉動(dòng)很危險(xiǎn)，狼只要突然一伸爪子就能抓住它，但狼沒(méi)有那樣做。

從表面看，鳥(niǎo)兒和狼如此近距離地接觸，是多么不可思議啊。如果看到這一幕的是一個(gè)膽小謹(jǐn)慎的人，他就會(huì)為這只鳥(niǎo)兒害怕;如果看到這一幕的'是一個(gè)胸襟寬闊的人，他也許會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)生命互相映襯的美麗，會(huì)看到生命在追求心中的意愿時(shí)表現(xiàn)出的勇敢之美。
人生的最高境界，是“取乎其上，適乎其中”的，如果自己面前是一只被拴住的狼，就為它唱歌;如果一只鳥(niǎo)兒飛到自己跟前高興地唱歌，就耐心地做一名觀眾，讓它感到生命的友好和美麗。
整整一天，一只狼和一只鳥(niǎo)兒就這么相處著。它們組成了一面鏡子，凡是看到它們的人都被映照在里面。

A Crow was sitting on a branch of a tree with a piece of cheese in her beak when a Fox observed her and set his wits to work to discover some way of getting the cheese. Coming and standing under the
tree he looked up and said, "What a noble bird I see above me! Her beauty is without equal, the hue of her plumage exquisite. If only her voice is as sweet as her looks are fair, she ought without doubt to
be Queen of the Birds." The Crow was hugely flattered by this, and just to show the Fox that she could sing she gave a loud caw. Down came the cheese, of course, and the Fox, snatching it up, said, "You
have a voice, madam, I see: what you want is wits."

摘要：如果你認(rèn)為你的女人從不會(huì)對(duì)你撒謊，請(qǐng)?jiān)僮屑?xì)考慮一下。大部分女人，小到善意的謊言，大到更為嚴(yán)重的假話，都會(huì)在牽涉到某種關(guān)系的某一點(diǎn)時(shí)掩飾真相。
If you think your woman would never lie to you, guess again. From little white lies to the more serious variety, most women will curtail the truth at some point in a relationship. Her motivation for lying can stem from wanting to protect your feelings or, sure enough, to save her own butt.
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.
'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked The seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.
'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.
'Is this your thimble ?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'Yes.' The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.
Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!'
The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. 'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked.
'Yes,' cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!' The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.
Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT' S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.
And so the Lord let her keep him.
The moral of this story is:
Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

“這是你的頂針嗎?”上帝問(wèn)道。女裁縫再次回答：“不是�！�

His mother felt so odd that she walked close to see what had happened. The boy, in earnest, squatted in front of a blade of grass, on which a round dew in the sun gave a colorful light, exceedingly beautiful. The small boy extended his hands under the grass silently as he appreciated the dew.
Seeing his mother walking over to him, the boy said with a slight sadness, “Mother, the dew’s dying.”

During the Spring and Autumn Period (707 - 476 B.C.), Duke Xian of the State of Jin Wanted to expand his position of strength and sphere of influence. Therefore he would like to send his troops to destroy the State of Guo on the pretest that the State of Guo often encroached on theborders of the State of Jin. But there was a third state, the State of Yu,between the State of Jin and the State of Guo, and the Jin army had to cross the State of Yu before it could reach the State of Guo . "How can my army cross the State of Yu without a hitch?" Duke Xian of the State of Jin asked his ministers.Xun Xi , one of the ministers, said, "The monarch of the State of Yu is short - sighted and covets small advantages. If we give him priceless precious stones and fine horses, it is not unlikely that he will allow our army to pass through his country. " Seeing that Duke Xian of the State of Jin was a little bit grudging, Xun Xi continued to say, "The State of Yu and the State of Guo are neighbor stated as closely related as lips and teeth. The State of Yu cannot exist independently if the state of Guo is destroyed. Your precious stones and fime hores are just left in the care of the monarch of the State of Yu." So Duke Xian of the State of Jin accepted Xun Xi's plan. When the monarch of Yu saw the precious gifts, he was elated,and readily promised to let the Jin army pass through his state. Hearing the news, Gong Zhiqi, one of the ministers as the State of Yu, hastened to admonish the monarch, saying," That won't do.For the State of Yu and the State of Guo are neighbor states as closely related as lips and teeth. Our two small states are interdependent, and can help cach other when problems crop up .If the State of Guo were destroyed, it would be difficult for our State of Yu to continue to exist. As the common saying goes, if the lips are gone ,the teeth will be cold, The teeth can hardly be kept if the lips are gone. So it won't do at all to allow the Jin army pass our state." The monarch of the State of Yu said," The State of Jin is a big state. Now they here specially to present gifts to us with the intention of being on friendly terms with us. Under suchcircumstances, how can we refuse to allow them to pass through our state?" Hearing this, Gong Zhiqi sighed repeatedly. Knowing that the State of Yu would soon be destroyed, Gong Zhiqi left the State of Yu together with his whole family.
As expected, the troops of the State of Jin, allowed to pass through the State of Yu, destroyed the State of Guo and on their return trip captured the monarch of the State of Yu who went out personally to meet them, htus destroying the State of Yu as Well.
This story appears in the chapter " The Fifth Year of Duke Xi " in Zuo zhuan,the famous commentary by Zuo Qiuming on The Spring and Autumn Annals. The set phrase " if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold " is used to mean that two persons or things share a common lot and that is one fails ,the other is in danger.
春秋時(shí)候，晉獻(xiàn)公想要擴(kuò)充自己的實(shí)力和地盤(pán)，就找借口說(shuō)鄰近的虢(guó)國(guó)經(jīng)常侵犯晉國(guó)的邊境，要派兵滅了虢國(guó)。可是在晉國(guó)和虢國(guó)之間隔著一個(gè)虞國(guó)，討伐虢國(guó)必須經(jīng)過(guò)虞地�！霸鯓硬拍茼樌ㄟ^(guò)虞國(guó)呢?”晉獻(xiàn)公問(wèn)手下的大臣。大夫荀息說(shuō)：“虞國(guó)國(guó)君是個(gè)目光短淺、貪圖小利的.人，只要我們送他價(jià)值連城的美玉和寶馬，他不會(huì)不答應(yīng)借道的。”晉獻(xiàn)公一聽(tīng)有點(diǎn)舍不得，荀息看出了晉獻(xiàn)公的心思，就說(shuō)：“虞虢兩國(guó)是唇齒相依的近鄰，虢國(guó)滅了，虞國(guó)也不能獨(dú)存，您的美玉寶馬不過(guò)是暫時(shí)存放在虞公那里罷了�！睍x獻(xiàn)公采納了荀息的計(jì)策。
虞國(guó)國(guó)君見(jiàn)到這兩們珍貴的禮物，頓時(shí)心花怒放，聽(tīng)到荀息說(shuō)要借道虞國(guó)之事時(shí)，當(dāng)時(shí)就滿口答應(yīng)下來(lái)。虞國(guó)大夫?qū)m之奇聽(tīng)說(shuō)后，趕快阻止道：“不行，不行，虞國(guó)和虢國(guó)是唇齒相依的近鄰，我們兩個(gè)小國(guó)相互依存，有事可以自彼幫助，萬(wàn)一虢國(guó)滅了，我們虞國(guó)也就難保了。俗話說(shuō)：‘唇亡齒寒’，沒(méi)有嘴唇，牙齒也保不住啊!借道給晉國(guó)萬(wàn)萬(wàn)使不得�！庇莨f(shuō)：“人家晉國(guó)是大國(guó)，現(xiàn)在特意送來(lái)美玉寶馬和咱們交朋友，難道咱們借條道路讓他們走走都不行嗎?”宮之奇連聲嘆氣，知道虞國(guó)離滅亡的日子不遠(yuǎn)了，于是就帶著一家老小離開(kāi)了虞國(guó)。
果然，晉國(guó)軍隊(duì)借道虞國(guó)，消滅了虢國(guó)，隨后又把親自迎接晉軍的虞公抓住，滅了虞國(guó)。 故事出自《左傳·僖公五年》。成語(yǔ)“唇亡齒寒”，比喻雙方關(guān)系密切，相互依存。
