望梅止渴 劉義慶(世說新語)

魏武1行役2失汲道3，軍皆渴，乃今日：『前有大梅林，饒子4，甘酸可以解渴。』士卒聞之，口皆出水，乘5此得6及7前源8。

作者簡介

劉義慶(公元403－444)，出身於南朝劉宋宗室，是宋武帝劉裕的侄子，襲封臨川王，先後擔任過荊州刺史、江州刺史等職。他愛好文學，門下招聚了一批在當時負有盛名的文士。《世說新語》便是劉義慶與他的門客共同編篡而成的。

《世說新語》又稱《世說》，是一本筆記小說集。全書分：「德行」、 「言語」、「政事」、「文學」等三十六門，每門少則幾篇，多則數十篇乃至上百篇。內容主要記錄了漢末、魏、晉時期士大夫的言談和軼聞趣事，反映了當時士族的精神面貌和社會風尚。全書語言精煉，善於通過言語和行為的描寫，刻畫人物的性格特徵。此書對後世筆記小說影響甚大，在中國小說中自成一體。書中不少故事，或為後 世戲曲小說所取材，或成為詩文常用典故和成語。

背景資料

本篇選自《世說新語》第二十七門《假譎》，收錄的都是以狡智的言行欺詐他人的故事。

賞析重點

本文記述了曹操行軍，用假想來安慰士卒，教他們望梅止渴的故事，表現出他的狡詐和機智。後人將這個故事概括為「望梅止渴」這一成語，表示用假想來進行安慰的意思。

魏武帝曹操在行軍途中，找不到水源所在，士兵都很口渴。於是他尌傳令說：「前面有一片丈梅林，梅子很多，又甜又酸，可以解渴。」士兵們聽了，口中都湧出了唾液，藉著這虛擬的梅林所帶來的希望，大軍終於抵著口渴，找到前面有水源的地方。

對於一群因唇乾舌燥、口渴難當而意氣沮喪的士兵來說，一片梅林必然充滿無比的誘惑力，從而成為激發他們前進的巨大動力。曹操正是充分利用了士兵的這種心理，用一個美麗的謊言及時地鼓 舞軍隊的士氣，最終擺脫缺水的困境，達到了順利行軍的目的。

《世說新語》將此故事錄入「假譎」類，原意是想說明曹操言行的狡詐，但我們今天再來分析，尌應從多個角度來設想：首先，望梅止渴具有積極的心理鼓舞作用，如果曹操不是急中生智編出這 個謊言，整支隊伍也許尌會陷入缺水的心理恐慌而崩潰，結局尌會不堪設想。可見，在某些特定的時刻，美麗的謊言不但是必須的，而且還會帶來意想下到的積極效果。其次，與畫餅充饑一樣，望梅止渴畢竟只是一種心理安慰的方武，如果純粹依賴它而不採取積極有效的行動，那尌只是一場自欺欺人的悲劇了。尋得水源才是挽救隊伍的徹底方法。再次，望梅止渴只能在某些危急場合才能運用，即使如此，也要承擔一定的風險。比如這個故事，如果在梅林的謊言被揭穿以後仍然沒有找到水源，後果又會怎樣呢？可見，除非特別必要，並且是出於善意的目的，否則，我們還是應當面對現實，那怕現實有時候是殘酷的。隨便發放謊言要付出的代價可能更大。

在《世說新語》中，「望梅止渴』的故事非常簡短，只有四十個字，但已具備了基本的人物情節，符合小說的雛型。著名的古典小說《三國演義》尌採納了這一情節作進一步的發揮，使這個故事更為膾炙人口，廣泛流傳。 1

2魏武：即曹操，他曾封魏王，死後他的兒子曹丕稱帝，追尊他為武帝，故稱魏武。 行役：行軍。

3失汲道：找下到通向水源的道路。汲：(粵)[吸]。

4饒子：果實很多。饒：多，豐富。子：果實。

5乘：趁。

6得：能夠，得以。

7及：到達。

8前源：前面有水源的地方。

篇二：翻译

Mr. President of the People's Republic of China, Mr. LIU Qi, Members of the Organising Committee, dear Chinese friends, dear athletes:

For a long time, China has dreamed of opening its doors and inviting the world's athletes to Beijing for the Olympic Games.

Tonight that dream comes true. Congratulations, Beijing.

You have chosen as the theme of these Games 'One World, One Dream'. That is what we are tonight.

As one world, we grieved with you over the tragic earthquake in Sichuan Province. We were moved by the great courage and solidarity of the Chinese people. As one dream, may these Olympic Games bring you joy, hope and pride.

Athletes, the Games were created for you by our founder, Pierre de Coubertin. These Games belong to you. Let them be the athletes' Games.

Remember that they are about much more than performance alone. They are about the peaceful gathering of 204 National Olympic Committees - regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion or political system. Please compete in the spirit of the Olympic values: excellence, friendship and respect.

Dear athletes, remember that you are role models for the youth of the world. Reject doping and cheating. Make us proud of your achievements and your conduct.

As we bring the Olympic dream to life, our warm thanks go to the Beijing Organising Committee for its tireless work. Our special thanks also go to the thousands of gracious volunteers, without whom none of this would be possible.

Beijing, you are a host to the present and a gateway to the future. Thank you.

I now have the honour of asking the President of the People's Republic of China to open the Games of the XXIX Olympiad of the modern era.

中华人民共和国主席先生，刘淇先生，奥组委的成员们，亲爱的中国朋友们，亲爱的运动员们：

长久以来，中国一直梦想着打开国门，邀请世界各地的运动员来北京参加奥运会。 今晚，梦想变成了现实，祝贺北京！

你们选择―同一个世界，同一个梦想‖作为本届奥运会的主题，今晚就是这个主题的体现。

我们处在同一个世界，所以我们像你们一样，为四川的地震灾难而深感悲恸。中国人民的伟大勇气和团结精神使我们备受感动。我们拥有同一个梦想，所以希望本届奥运会带给你们快乐、希望和自豪。

各位运动员，我们的创始人皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦是因为你们而创立了现代奥林匹克运动会。奥运会属于你们。让奥运会成为运动员的盛会。祝你们比赛开心。

请大家牢记，奥运会不仅仅意味着比赛成绩。奥运会还是和平的聚会。204个国家和地区奥委会相聚于此，跨越了民族、性别、宗教以及政治制度的界限。请大家本着奥林匹克的价值和精神，即卓越、友谊和尊重，投身于比赛。

亲爱的运动员们，请记住，你们是世界青年的楷模，请拒绝兴奋剂，向作弊说不。你们的成就和表现应该让我们感到骄傲。

当我们把奥林匹克梦想变成现实之时，我们要诚挚地感谢北京奥组委，感谢他们不辞劳苦的工作。我们还要特别感谢成千上万、无私奉献的志愿者们，没有他们，这一切都不可能实现。北京，你是今天的主人，也是通往明天的大门。感谢你！

现在，我荣幸地邀请中华人民共和国主席先生宣布第29届现代奥林匹克运动会开幕。

The sporting spirit

I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield

Nearly all the sports practiced nowadays are competitive．You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win．On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible

to play simply for the fun and Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this．At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare．But the significant thing is not the behavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind the spectators, of

--- that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.

体育精神

人们谈论体育运动可以创造国家之间的友善，各国民众如果在足球场或板球场上相遇，就不会在战场上厮杀，每当我听到这些事的时候，总是非常吃惊。一个人即使不能从具体的事例（例如，1936年的奥林匹克运动会）了解到国际体育比赛会导致疯狂的仇恨，他也可以从常理中推理出结论。

现在的体育比赛几乎都是竞争性的。你参赛就是为了取胜。如果不拼命去赢，比赛就没有多少意义了。在乡村的草坪上，当你随意组成两个队，而且也不涉及任何地方情绪时，那才可能是单纯的为了娱乐和锻炼而进行比赛。可是一旦涉及到荣誉问题，一旦你想到你和某一团体会因为你输而丢脸时，那么最野蛮的争斗天性就会被激发出来。任何人即便是参加学校的足球比赛也会有这种体会。

在国际比赛中，体育完全是一场模拟战争。但是，重要的还不是运动员的行为，而是观众的态度，以及在观众身后的那些国家，他们对这些荒唐的比赛如痴如狂，并且严肃地相信 -- 至少在短期内 – 那些跑跑、跳跳、踢踢球是对一个国家素质的检验。

Something To Look Forward To

Little children look forward to the arrival of lunar New Year, adults to that of spring. When a child I couldn't understand what the elders hoped for. But New Year's Day was always the greatest red-letter day of all the year, for it meant the nicest food as well as a lot of fun, which was really

fascinating. As soon as the festival was over, another one was my dream and I wished time flew as fast as possible.

Days spent in expectation come and go really very fast. Very soon I Finished primary school, went to junior and senior muddle school, and finally to college; with ever greater desire for more varied things: for graduation with honors, for an ideal job, for a successful career, for more earnings to share my parents' burden, for a satisfactory wife. . .. Climbing the upward steps of hope I had become a fully grown man before I was aware of it, a busy breadwinner with a family on my hands.

Life began to show its various facets. Whether I have turned more vulgar or great, I have always something to look forward to. It may be arrival of a letter, publication of an article, the bonus-distributing day, a gratifying result of something, a get-together or a pleasure trip. . .Such expectations serve as a prop to a person's faith in life.

A day without hope would be unimaginably pale. There must be

something to look forward to each day to brighten one's life and keep it out of shadows. To a person cherishing hopes every morning rises a new sun. Even if it is a fantasy or an illusion, so long as it shows a ray of hope it still urges you on in pursuit of that little sparkle without letup.

Deprived of moisture content, soil turns into desert. Deprived of hope, what is there left to a person? A small hope sustains a person for a day, a great one for a lifetime. Human beings cannot do without something to look forward to.

细娃盼过年，大人盼开春。儿时，对于大人的盼是不能理解的，但过年，对我来说，可是一年的大盼头了。过年，不但好玩，且有肉吃，那气氛是迷人的。年一过，又盼日子快些流，好流来又一个春节。 在盼中，日子真的流得飞快，转眼上了小学，继而初中，然后高中，最后大学；盼的欲望更加强烈，盼的内容也越渐丰富了：盼有好成绩毕业，盼有一份好工作，盼事业有成，盼挣钱替父母分忧，盼有一个好爱人……不知不觉，天天踩着盼的石阶而上，自己竟成了一个大男人，一个挣钱养家糊口的忙碌人了。

生活开始变得复杂。然而，无论自己是否变得庸俗，变得伟大，盼头依然天天有：盼信件，盼稿件被采用，盼发奖金，盼某事有满意结果，盼一次聚会、一次旅行……人就在盼中
