内容预览：这故事出自“战国策”。战国时代，楚国有一个大臣，名叫庄辛，有一天对楚襄王说：“你在宫里面的时候，左边是州侯，右边是夏侯；出去的时候，鄢陵君和寿跟君又总是随看你。你和这四个人专门讲究奢侈淫乐，不管国家大事，郢（楚都，在今湖北省江陵县北）一定要危险啦！”襄王听了，很不高与，气骂道：“你老糊涂了吗？故意说这些险恶的话惑乱人心吗？”庄辛不慌不忙的回答说：“我实在感觉事情一定要到这个地步的，不敢故意说楚国有什么不幸。如果你一直宠信这个人，楚国一定要灭亡的。你既然不信我的话，请允许我到赵国躲一躲，看事情究竟会怎样。”庄辛到赵国才住了五个月，秦国果然派兵侵楚，襄王被迫流亡到阳城（今河南息县西北）。这才觉得庄辛的话不错，赶紧派人把庄辛找回来，问他有什么办法；庄辛很诚恳地说：“我听说过，看见兔子牙想起猎犬，这还不晚；羊跑掉了才补羊圈，也还不迟。……”这是一则很有意义的故事，只知道享乐，不知道如何做事……

掩耳盗铃Plugging One's Ears While Stealing a Bell春秋时侯，晋国贵族智伯灭掉了范氏。有人趁机跑到范氏家里想偷点东西，看见院子里吊着一口大钟。钟是用上等青铜铸成的，造型和图案都很精美。小偷心里高兴极了，想把这口精美的大钟背回自已家去。可是钟又大又重，怎么也挪不动。他想来想去，只有一个办法，那就是把钟敲碎，然后再分别搬回家。
小偷找来一把大大锤，拼命朝钟砸去，咣的一声巨响，把他吓了一大跳。小偷着慌，心想这下糟了，这种声不就等于是告诉人们我正在这里偷钟吗？他心里一急，身子一下子扑到了钟上，张开双臂想捂住钟声，可钟声又怎么捂得住呢！钟声依然悠悠地传向远方。
他越听越害怕，不同自由地抽回双手，使劲捂住自已的耳朵。“咦，钟声变小了，听不见了！”小偷高兴起来，“妙极了！把耳朵捂住不住就听不进钟声了吗！”他立刻找来两个布团，把耳朵塞住，心想，这下谁也听不见钟声了。于是就放手砸起钟来，一下一下，钟声响亮地传到很远的地方。人们听到钟声蜂拥而至把小偷捉住了。
故事出自《吕氏春秋�6�1自知》“掩耳盗钟”被说成“掩耳盗铃”，比喻愚蠢自欺的掩饰行为。
Plugging One's Ears While Stealing a Bell
During the Spring and Autumn period,Zhi Bo of the State of Jin destroyed Fan's family.Taking advantage of this occasion,a man went to Fan's house and tried to steal something.As soon as the man entered the gate,he saw that there hung a big bell in the courtyard.The bell was cast in high-quality bronza,and was beautiful in design and shape.The theif was very glad,and decided to carry this beautiful bell back home.But no matter how hard he tried,he could not move the bell,because the bell was both big and heavy.He thought and thought again,and believed there was only one way to solve the problem.He had to break the bell to pieces before he was able to carry them back to his home separately.
The thief found a big iron hammer,with which he struck the bell with all his might.The striking produced an enormous crashing sound,which might.The striking produced an enormous crashing sound,which made the thief terribly frightened.The thief got flurried,thinking that it was too bad to have produced the crashiing sound which would himself on the bell,trying to muffle the crashing sound with his arms.But how could the crashing sound of the bell be muffled?The crashing sound still kept drifting melodiously to distant places.The more he listened to the sound,the more frightened hw became.He xubconsciously shrank back,and covered his ears hard with his hands."Hey,the sound becomes fainter,inaudible,"the thief became cheerful at once," wonderful!The sound of the bell can not be heard when the ears are covered."He immediately got some odd bits of cloth,made two rolls with them,and had his ears plugged with the two cloth rolls.He thought that in this way nobody could hear the sound of the bell.Feeling relieved,he began striking the bell,one blow after another.The resounding sound of the bell was heard at distant places,and finally people caught the thief by gracing the sound.
This story comes from"Knowing Yourself" in The Annals by Buwei,written just before the Qin Dynasty（221-207 B.C.）was founded.Allegedly,when Li Yuan,Emperor Gao Zu of the Tang Dynasty（618-907），read this story,he felt it simply ridiculous and said,"This is what is called plugging one's ears while stealing a bell."
Later,people have used the set phrase "plugging one's ears while stealing a bell" to refer to the ignorance and foolishness of the person who deceives himself as well as others.
