一年级英语成语故事3则 At the battle of Ypres in 1914, British colonel Walter Loring made no concessions to the Germans. Mounted on a white horse, he was leading his men on the Menin Road when his foot was smashed by a bullet. The medical officer ordered him to the rear, but he told the man to “ Go to hell ” and asked his servant to bring his slippers. 一九一四年，英国的沃尔特.洛林上校在伊普尔战役之中对德军寸步不让。他骑白马率军沿梅宁路推进，一颗子弹把他一只脚打得血肉模糊。军医叫他退到后面，他却叫军医去死吧，要仆人把拖鞋拿来。 Equipped with these he remounted his charger, only to suffer a fall as the horse was shot under him. He then mounted a bay and rode on a short distance before this too was shot. Hobbling with a stick, he continued to lead his men up the road and, urging them onwards, he died. 他穿上拖鞋，再跨上白马，不料白马中枪，堕下马来。他于是改骑一匹红棕马，但走不多远，那匹马也被射死，惟有拄手杖一拐一拐的继续领军，死在途中，死前还鼓励手下奋勇向前。 Once a man planned to build a terrace. 古时，有一个人要筑一座九仞八尺=一仞高的山。 He worked very hard and spent a lot of time digging and carrying earth. 他十分努力的建造这座山，并且花了很多时间挖土、搬运泥土。 When the mound was almost completed and only one more basket of earth was needed, the man gave up. 终于当山快要建成的时候，几乎只差最后一篮子的泥土就行了的时候，他放弃了。 The terrace was never completed. 这座山便永远无法完工。 This idiom means to fail to succeed for lack of final effort. 这个典故用以形容“离成功只有一步之遥，但最终失败告终”的意思。 Jack is a little goose. He has a lovely hat. He likes wearing it very much. But when he sits, his hat can’t stay on his head. 杰克是一只小鹅。它有一顶可爱的帽子，他非常喜欢戴它。当它坐着时，他的帽子总是戴着头上。 He puts his hat down and begins to play game with the hat. When he gets tired of the game, things are not the same. 它脱下它的帽子并开始用帽子玩游戏。当它玩累时，事情就不是那样了。 He can’t find his hat. Where is it? Jack thinks hard. He looks up and down, and walks here and there. He can’t find his hat yet. 它没有找到他的帽子。它在哪里?杰克仔细想。它上下看，到处找了找，还是没有找到它的帽子。 At this time, his mother comes in. As soon as she sees Jack, she cries, “Oh, my dear! Don’t be foolish. Your hat is on your head.” 这时，它的母亲走进来，当她看到杰克就喊道：“啊!亲爱的，你真笨，帽子在你的头上。”
