麻烦提供几个英文的小故事~小事例，名人坚持自我最终获得成功的故事~

出自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)，有一篇狗站马槽的故事，说的是一头狗躺在堆满稻草的马槽里，狗是不吃草的动物，而当马或牛一走进稻草时，这头狗却朝着马，牛狂哮，不准食草动物享用。


因此，“狗站马槽”就成了一个家喻户晓的成语而进入英语中，常用来比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it，讽刺那些占据说职位或某些物质却不做事的人。
这篇寓言讲的是：一群老鼠在鼠洞里举行会议，讨论如何对付凶狠的猫。白胡须老鼠提出：“我有个方法，在猫的脖子上挂一个铃。这样，猫一走动铃就响，我们就可以闻铃声而逃避了”，群鼠一致同意这个建议，欢呼：“That's a capital idea.We will bell the cat!No more fear of the cat!”但是，谁去给猫挂铃铛呢？没有一只老鼠敢去，一个个都溜掉了。老鼠会议豪无结果，它们不安全的境况当然也无法改善。




bell the cat常用来比喻to do sth dangerous in order to save others;to step forwar bravely to face the danger;to take a risk for the good of others.

孔融让梨
孔融小时候聪明好学，才思敏捷，巧言妙答，大家都夸他是奇童。4岁时，他已能背诵许多诗赋，并且懂得礼节，父母亲非常喜爱他。
一日，父亲买了一些梨子，特地拣了一个最大的梨子给孔融，孔融摇摇头，却另拣了一个最小的梨子说：“我年纪最小，应该吃小的梨，你那个梨就给哥哥吧。”父亲听后十分惊喜,又问:“那弟弟也比你小啊?"孔融说"弟弟比我小,我也应该让给他.”孔融让梨的故事，很快传遍了曲阜，并且一直流传下来，成了许多父母教育子女的好例子
铁杵磨针
唐朝著名大诗人李白小时候不喜欢念书，常常逃学，到街上去闲逛。
一天，李白又没有去上学，在一个破茅屋门口，坐着一个满头白发的老婆婆，正在磨一根棍子般粗的铁杵。李白走过去，“老婆婆，您在做什么？”
“我要把这根铁杵磨成一个绣花针。”老婆婆抬起头笑了笑，接着又低下头继续磨着。

“绣花针？”“可是，铁杵这么粗，什么时候能磨成细细的绣花针呢？”
老婆婆反问李白：“滴水可以穿石，愚公可以移山，铁杵为什么不能磨成绣花针呢？”
老婆婆的一番话，令李白很惭愧，于是回去之后，再没有逃过学。每天的学习也特别用功，终于成了名垂千古的诗仙。
悬梁刺股
东汉时候，有个人名叫孙敬，是著名的政治家。开始由于知识浅薄得不到重用，连家里人都看不起他，使他大受刺激，下决心认真钻研，经常关起门，独自一人不停地读书。每天从早到晚读书，常常是废寝忘食。读书时间长，劳累了，还不休息。时间久了，疲倦得直打瞌睡。他怕影响自己的读书学习，就想出了一个特别的办法。古时候，男子的头发很长。他就找一根绳子，一头牢牢的绑在房梁上。当他读书疲劳时打盹了，头一低，绳子就会牵住头发，这样就会把头皮扯痛了，马上就清醒了，再继续读书学习。这就是孙敬“悬梁”的故事。

Chinese New Year (中国农历新年)

The Chinese New Year has a great history. In other traditions, by this time in the year, most resolutions - made on December 31 - have been subtly forgotten and placed in a cupboard marked "maybe next year." However, all hope is not lost, as there's a second chance to start afresh with the celebration of Chinese New Year on February 12th.

The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, swathed in traditions and rituals.

The origin of the Chinese New Year is itself centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognised as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.

Preparations tend to begin a month from the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas), when people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom, to sweep away any traces of bad luck, and doors and windowpanes are given a new coat of paint, usually red. The doors and windows are then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.

The eve of the New Year is perhaps the most exciting part of the event, as anticipation creeps in. Here, traditions and rituals are very carefully observed in everything from food to clothing. Dinner is usually a feast of seafood and dumplings, signifying different good wishes. Delicacies include prawns, for liveliness and happiness, dried oysters (or ho xi), for all things good, raw fish salad or yu sheng to bring good luck and prosperity, Fai-hai (Angel Hair), an edible hair-like seaweed to bring prosperity, and dumplings boiled in water (Jiaozi) signifying a long-lost good wish for a family. It's usual to wear something red as this colour is meant to ward off evil spirits - but black and white are out, as these are associated with mourning. After dinner, the family sit up for the night playing cards, board games or watching TV programmes dedicated to the occasion. At midnight, the sky is lit up by fireworks.

On the day itself, an ancient custom called Hong Bao, meaning Red Packet, takes place. This involves married couples giving children and unmarried adults money in red envelopes. Then the family begins to say greetings from door to door, first to their relatives and then their neighbours. Like the Western saying "let bygones be bygones," at Chinese New Year, grudges are very easily cast aside.

The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.

Although celebrations of the Chinese New Year vary, the underlying message is one of peace and happiness for family members and friends.

Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节)
The joyous Mid-Autumn Festival, the third and last festival for the living, was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox. Many referred to it simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon". In the Western calendar, the day of the festival usually occurred sometime between the second week of September and the second week ofOctober.

This day was also considered a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. With delinquent accounts settled prior to the festival , it was a time for relaxation and celebration. Food offerings were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes, pomegranates , melons, oranges and pomelos might be seen. Special foods for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro, edible snails from the taro patches or rice paddies cooked with sweet basil, and water caltrope, a type of water chestnut resembling black buffalo horns. Some people insisted that cooked taro be included because at the time of creation, taro was the first food discovered at night in the moonlight. Of all these foods, it could not be omitted from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The round moon cakes, measuring about three inches in diameter and one and a half inches in thickness, resembled Western fruitcakes in taste and consistency. These cakes were made with melon seeds, lotus seeds, almonds, minced meats, bean paste, orange peels and lard. A golden yolk from a salted duck egg was placed at the center of each cake, and the golden brown crust was decorated with symbols of the festival. Traditionally, thirteen moon cakes were piled in a pyramid to symbolize the thirteen moons of a "complete year," that is, twelve moons plus one intercalary moon.
