The Tongue-Cut Sparrow

in a little house in a little old village in japan lived a little old man and his little old wife. one morning when the old woman slid open the screens which form the sides of the japanese houses, she saw on the doorstep a poor little sparrow. she took him up gently and fed him. then she held him in the bright morning sunshine until the cold dew1 was dried from his wings. afterward2, she let him go, so that he might fly home to his nest, but he stayed with her to thank her with his songs. each morning, when the pink on the mountaintops told that the sun was near, the sparrow perched on the roof of the house and sang out his joy. the old man and woman thanked the sparrow for this, for they liked to be up early and at work. but near them lived a cross old woman who did not like to be awakened3 so early. at last she became so angry that she caught the sparrow and cut his tongue. then the poor little sparrow flew away to his home. but he never could sing again.

when the kind woman knew what had happened to her pet she was very sad. she said to her husband, "let us go and find our poor little sparrow." so they started together, and asked of each bird by the wayside: "do you know where the tongue-cut sparrow lives? do you know where the tongue-cut sparrow went?"

in this way the followed until they came to a bridge. they did not know which way to turn, and at first could see no one to ask. at last they saw a bat, hanging head downward, taking his daytime nap. "o friend bat, do you know where the tongue-cut sparrow went?"

"yes. over the bridge and up the mountain," said the bat. then he blinked4 his sleepy eyes and was fast asleep again.

they went over the bridge and up the mountain, but again they found two roads and did not know which one to take. a little field mouse peeped through the leaves and grass, so they asked him, "do you know where the tongue-cut sparrow went?"

"yes. down the mountain and through the woods," said the field mouse.

down the mountain and through the woods they went, and at last came to the home of their little friend. when he saw them coming, the poor little sparrow was very happy indeed. he and his wife and children all came and bowed their heads down to the ground to show their respect. then the sparrow rose and led the old man and the old woman into the house while his wife and children hastened to bring them boiled rice, fish, and cress. after they had feasted, the sparrow wished to please them still more, so he danced for them what is called the "sparrow dance."

when the sun began to sink, the old man and woman started home. the sparrow brought out two baskets. "i would like to give you one of these," he said. "which will you take?" one basket was large and looked very full, while the other one seemed very small and light. the old people thought they would not take the large basket, for that might have all the sparrow's treasure in it, so they said, "the journey home is long, so please let us take the smaller one."

they took it and walked home over the mountain and across the bridge, happy and contented6. when they reached their own home, they decided7 to open the basket to see what the sparrow had given them. within the basket they found many rolls of silk and piles of gold, enough to make them rich, so they were more grateful than ever to the sparrow.

the cross old woman who had cut the sparrow's tongue was spying through the screen when they opened their basket. she saw the rolls of silk and piles of gold, and planned how she might get some for herself.

the next morning she went to the kind woman and said, "i am so sorry that i cut the tongue of your sparrow. please tell me the way to his home so that i may go to him and tell him i am sorry."

the kind woman told her the way and she set out. she went across the bridge, over the mountains, and through the woods. at last she came to the home of the little sparrow. he was not so glad to see this old woman, yet he was very kind to her and did everything to make her feel very welcome. they made a feast5 for her, and when she started home the sparrow brought out two baskets as before. of course the cross old woman chose the large basket, for she thought that would have even more wealth than the other one.

the basket was very heavy and caught on the trees as she was going through the wood. she could hardly pull it up the mountain with her, and she was all out of breath when she reached the top. she did not get to the bridge until it was dark. they she was so afraid of dropping the basket into the river that she scarcely dared to step.

when at last she reached home she was tired out, but she pulled the screens tightly8 closed so that no one could look in, and opened her treasure.

treasure indeed! a whole swarm9 of horrible creatures burst from the basket the moment she opened it. they stung10 her and bit her, they pushed her and pulled her, and scratched her. at last she crawled to the edge of the room and slid aside the screen to get away from the pests. the moment the door was opened they swooped11 down upon her, picked her up, and flew away with her. since then nothing has been heard of the old woman.

周亚夫细柳军的翻译

《周亚夫细柳军》的翻译:汉文帝后元六年,匈奴大规模侵入汉朝边境。于是,朝廷委派宗正官刘礼为将军,驻军在霸上;委派祝兹侯徐厉为将军,驻军在棘门;委派河内郡太守周亚夫为将军,驻军细柳,以防备匈奴侵扰。
皇上亲自去慰劳军队。到了霸上和棘门的军营,直接驱车而入,将军及其属下都骑着马迎接。随即来到了细柳军营,只见官兵都披戴盔甲,手持锋利的兵器,开弓搭箭,弓拉满月,戒备森严。皇上的先行卫队到了营前,不准进入。先行的卫队说:“皇上将要驾到。”镇守军营的将官回答:“将军有令:‘军中只听从将军的命令,不听从天子的命令。’”过了不久,皇上驾到,也不让入军营。在这种情况下皇上就派使者拿符节去告诉将军:“我要进营慰劳军队。”周亚夫这才传令打开军营大门。守卫营门的官兵对跟从皇上的武官说:“将军规定,军营中不准驱车奔驰。”于是皇上的车队也只好拉住缰绳,慢慢前行。到了大营前,将军周亚夫手持兵器,双手抱拳行礼说:“穿戴着盔甲之将不行跪拜礼,请允许我按照军礼参见。”皇上因此而感动,脸上的神情也改变了,俯身扶着横木上,派人致意说:“皇帝敬重地慰劳将军。”劳军礼仪完毕后辞去。
出了细柳军营的大门,许多大臣都深感惊诧。文帝感叹地说:“啊!这才是真正的将军。先前的霸上、棘门的军营,简直就像儿戏一样,匈奴是完全可以通过偷袭而俘虏那里的将军,至于周亚夫,难道能够侵犯吗?”长时间对周亚夫赞叹不已。
文章重在刻画周亚夫这个人物形象,但直接描写周亚夫的地方并不多,而是把大量笔墨用在霸上、棘门军与细柳军的对比上,用在描写细柳军的严明军纪上。这些侧面描写有力地烘托了周亚夫这个人物形象。文中周亚夫“真将军”的风范是通过多次对比体现的。通过汉文帝慰劳守军的故事,表现了周亚夫的忠于职守和治军严明。先写汉文帝到霸上和棘门军营的情况,与后面写汉文帝在细柳军营遇到的情况作对比,突现细柳军营军纪严明。

和硕亲王和亲王区别

和硕亲王和亲王区别:
1、和硕亲王简称亲王,清朝宗室和蒙古外藩中内扎萨克蒙古爵位的第一等爵。宗室唯皇子、皇兄弟可以获得此爵位。在外扎萨克蒙古中为第二等爵位,仅次于“汗”。根据清乾隆《大清会典则例》卷五十一《户部·俸饷》所示,亲王岁银一万两,岁米五千石。
世袭罔替的王爷有礼、睿、豫、肃、郑、庄、怡、恭、醇、庆这十位亲王和顺承郡王、克勤郡王。亲王和郡王世袭罔替本质上都是一样的,级别是一样,但是后代的袭爵待遇不一样。 满清皇室爵位是这样的:和硕亲王、多罗郡王、多罗贝勒、固山贝子、镇国公、辅国公、不入八分镇国公、不入八分辅国公、镇国将军、辅国将军、奉国将军、奉恩将军。
2、亲王是中国爵位制度中王爵的第一等,是中国古代皇室贵族中地位仅次于皇帝的高级爵位。亲王的正妻为亲王妃(汉朝称为王后),地位视同皇帝最高等的妾室贵妃或皇贵妃,亲王的嫡长子立为世子,诸子封为郡王,亲王可世袭。亲王的嫡母为皇后、皇太后或太皇太后,生母如为妃嫔,则视亲王封号尊封为某王太妃或某国太妃(汉朝称为王太后),随亲王就藩封国,无子的妃嫔仅可尊封为皇太妃。
