导读：同学们,中国成语中有许多与动物有关的有趣故事。让我们读一个与动物有关的八字成语故事,看看这是哪个成语,并想想我们现在用这个成语比喻什么。
One day,a clam swam to the bank and opened its shell in the sun.
A snipe flew over and saw a piece of red meat on the ground,so it dived to the ground and pecked at the clam.
The clam suddenly felt a sharp pain and closed its shell quickly.
The snipe's beak was gripped tightly inside.

The snipe shook its head to cast off the clam,but it failed no matter how hard it tried.
The snipe said angrily,“Listen,you clam,it's not going to rain today；neither will it tomorrow. Then you'll die from thirst. So quick! Let me off!”
The clam was angry too,“You listen,I won't let you off today,and I won't let you off tomorrow either. Then you'll die of hunger. Do you still dare to eat me?”
The snipe and the clam were locked in fight and quarrelled,and neither of them liked to give in first.
Just at that moment,an old fisherman came. He picked them up and took them home for dinner.

“中华传统”译文：
鹬蚌相争,渔翁得利
有一天,一只蚌游到岸边,张开了蚌壳晒太阳。
一只鹬飞了过来,看到地上有一块红色的肉,就俯冲到地面上,啄向这只蚌。
蚌突然感到一阵剧痛,迅速地合上了壳。
鹬的喙(嘴)就这样被紧紧地夹在壳里面。
鹬使劲儿摇头,想要挣脱这只蚌,但无论多努力都挣脱不开。
鹬生气地说：“听着,你这只蚌,今天不会下雨,明天也不会,然后你就会渴死。快点！放开我！”
蚌也很生气,说道：“你给我听好了,我今天不会放开你,明天也不会,然后你就会饿死。你还敢吃我吗？”
鹬和蚌陷入了争吵,没有一方愿意先让步。
就在这时,一个老渔翁来了。他捡起鹬和蚌,把它们带回家当晚饭。
