Ⅴ.阅读表达
中国多数的小巷非常平凡,而安徽桐城的六尺巷声名远扬,它的由来藏着一段清朝邻里礼让的故事。阅读下文一起来了解一下吧!
Narrow lanes are very common in China. They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang in Tongcheng, Anhui, may be the most famous one.
Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, the Zhangs and the Wus, argued about the narrow lane between their houses. They couldn't reach an agreement. The Zhang family were angry.
Their relative, Zhang Ying, was a Daxueshi who held great power in the government. They wrote him a letter to ask for advice. When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside.
A letter from far away just for a wall
Is not right or good at all.
Three chi to your neighbour as a gift
Is nothing as time continues to drift.
After reading it, the Zhang family felt ashamed. They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they gave up another three-chi land. And so came the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses.
Hundreds of years has passed since then, and the lane is still there. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind. Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness.
