英文版故事如下:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck. 

宋国有个农夫正在田里翻土。突然,他看见有一只野兔从旁边的草丛里慌慌张张地窜出来,一头撞在田边的树墩子上,便倒在那儿一动也不动了。农民走过去一看:兔子死了。因为它奔跑的速度太快,把脖子都撞折(shé)了。

The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal. That night he thought, 'I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.' 

农民高兴极了,他一点力气没花,就白捡了一只又肥又大的野兔。他心想;要是天天都能捡到野兔,日子就好过了。从此,他再也不肯出力气种地了。每天,他把锄头放在身边,就躺在树墩子跟前,等待着第二只、第三只野兔自己撞到这树墩子上来。

So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.

世上哪有那么多便宜事啊。农民当然没有再捡到撞死的野兔,而他的田地却荒芜了。

寓意:This idiom satirizes(讽刺,挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.

这个成语用来讽刺那些坐等机遇的人,而不是通过努力而获取他们的所需。

扩展资料:

守株待兔释义:原比喻希望不经过努力而得到成功的侥幸心理。现也比喻不主动努力,而存万一的侥幸心理,希望得到意外的收获。守狭隘经验,不知变通,死守教条。

出处:《韩非子·五蠹》记载:战国时宋国有一个农民,看见一只兔子撞在树根上死了,便放下锄头在树根旁等待,希望再得到撞死的兔子。

This story comes from"The Five Vermin"in The Works of Han Feizi.Later generations often use the set phrase"staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it"to show grusting to chance and windfalls or dreaming to reap without sowing.It is also used to show adhering to narrow experiences and not being able to be flexible. 正文:Staying by a Stump Waiting for More Hares To Come and Dash Themselves Against It  This story took place more than 2,000 years ago,in the Warring States period(475-221 B.C.).Tradition has it that in the State of Song at that time there was a man who was famous for staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it.  He was a yong farmer,and his family had been farmers for generations.Year after year and generation after generation, farmers used to sow in spring and harvest in autumn,beginning to work at sunrise and retiring at sunset.In good harvest years,they could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear.If there was a famine e to crop failure,they had to go hungry.  This young farmer wanted to improve his life.But he was too lazy and too cowardly.Being lazy and cowardly over everything,he often dreamed of having unexpected blessings.  A miracle took place at last. One day in late autumn,when he was ploughing in the field,two groups of people were hunting nearby.As shoutings were rising one after another,scared hares were running desperately.Suddenly,a blind hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.  That day,he ate his fill.  From that day on,he no longer went in for farming again.From morning till night,he stayed by that miraculous stump,waiting for miracles to take place again.  This story comes from"The Five Vermin"in The Works of Han Feizi.Later generations often use the set phrase"staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it"to show grusting to chance and windfalls or dreaming to reap without sowing.It is also used to show adhering to narrow experiences and not being able to be flexible.  相传在战国时代宋国,有一个农民,日出而作,日入而息.遇到好年景,也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;一遇灾荒,可就要忍饥挨饿了.他想改善生活,但他太懒,胆子又特小,干什么都是又懒又怕,总想碰到送上门来的意外之财。  奇迹终于发生了。深秋的一天,他正在田里耕地,周围有人在打猎。吆喝之声四处起伏,受惊的小野兽没命的奔跑。突然, 有一只兔子,不偏不倚,一头撞死在他田边的树根上。  当天,他美美地饱餐了一顿。  从此,他便不再种地。一天到晚,守着那神奇的树根,等着奇迹的出现。  成语“守株待兔”,比喻亡想不劳而得,或死守狭隘的经验,不知变通。
