《五十步笑百步》成语英译与典故

七十六、五十步笑百步

世上常有这样的人，

动不动就会讥笑人。

即使是他也有错误和缺点，

也要讥笑和他同类人。

他认为自己的过失无所谓，

找错误常把双眼盯别人。

就好像古时候打仗短兵相接，

有的人打败了拖枪逃遁。

甲跑了一百步然后停下，

乙跑了五十步也自站稳。

乙往往要嘲笑甲是胆小，

讥讽甲打仗时害怕敌人。

事实上五十步百步都是逃，

不能以逃快逃慢把害怕分。

逃跑均是因害怕，

硬说五十步比百步英勇实在不准。

朋友们请分辨然后记牢，

千万不要做乙那样的人。

One Who Retreated Fifty Paces Mocks At One Who Retreated One Hundred

There are such people in the world，who tend to mock at other people occasionally.Though they themselves have their own mistakes，they just laugh at their like.They take for granted that they are flaw⁃less，and they are always finding fault with others.This is like the case when in ancient times at war，the defeated soldiers were running crestfallenly.A Mr.A had run one hundred paces and then stopped，a Mr.B had only run fifty paces and then stopped.Then Mr.B laughed at Mr.A and said that Mr.A was a coward，and that Mr.A was the most timid on battle field.

My dear friends you can judge that and keep in mind，never try to be a Mr.B.
