刻舟求劍

湖北省荊門市掇刀中學 魯勇供稿

A man from the State of Chu was crossing a river in a boat when his sword fell into the water.Immediately he made a mark on the boat.“This is where my sword fell off,”he said.When the boat stopped moving,he jumped into the water to look for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.

The boat moved but the sword had not.Isn’t this a foolish way to look for the sword?

有一個楚國人坐船過江。這時，他的劍不小心掉進了水里。他急忙在船邊上掉劍的地方刻下記號，并說：“這是我的劍掉下去的地方。”船停后，他就從刻記號的地方下水去尋劍。

船已向前開了，而劍不動。這樣撈劍，不是很蠢嗎？
