On this particular afternoon he felt so tired with running about that he, by accident, came over to the springing search of water.
He was thus surprised to find Artemisba thing.
The angry goddess was not to be calmed. She splashed1 water in the hunter's face. As soon as the water drops fell on Actaeon, he was changed into a stag. Just at that moment he heard the barking of his team of fifty hunting dogs. They were coming up to him. He was suddenly seized with fear, and presently2 ran away. The dogs, all driven mad by the goddess, ran after him closely3. Running as fast as his legs could carry him. Actaeon was soon out of breath4, feeling certain that he was to die. He dropped to the ground and made no further attempt to get up. The dogs came nearer to their former master and tore him to places.

浑沌开窍
The emperor of the South Sea was named "Tiao", the emperor of the North Sea was named "Hu", and the central emperor "Hun Dun".
Tiao and Hu often had contacts with each other and were very intimate. They often met in the central area under Hun Dun's rule and received his warm hospitality.
One day, Tiao and Hu met again and talked about Hun Dun. They were very grateful to him and wished to repay him well.
After discussing for a long time they realized that everyone has seven orifices; the mouth, nostrils1, ears, eyes, so that they can eat, smell, listen, and see the beautiful scenery of nature. Only Hun Dun did not have them and could not enjoy these pleasures.
Finally, they thought of a clever way: they decided2 to bore seven holes on Hun Dun's head. In this way he would be the same as others.
Then, regardless of whether Hun Dun would agree or not, Tiao and Hu began working on him. One took a big chisel3 and the other swung an iron hammer to bore one hole a day on Hun Dun's head. However, on the seventh day, Hun Dun bled from from the seven orifices to death.

终于,他们想出了一个聪明的办法:决定给浑沌的头凿出七窍,这样浑沌就可以和大家一样享受了。
接着,鯈和忽不管浑沌本人同意和不同意,一齐动手,一个拿把大凿子,一个抡起大铁锤,叮叮当当,在他头上每天凿一个孔。可是,凿到第七天,浑沌却被凿得七孔流血而死了。

英语故事篇四
兔死狐悲
Once, a fox and a hare became friends with the purpose of defending themselves against their joint1 enemy, the hunters, and made an oath to each other: to the same life and death, through thick and thin. One day, they were enjoying the natural beauty together in the fields when a party of hunters came and shot the hare dead. The fox had a narrow escape. After the hunters had gone, the fox came and wept over the death of his mate.
An elderly gentleman who happened to pass by was surprised at the scene. Curiously2, he asked the fox the reason of her bitter weeping.
The fox sorrowfully replied: "We are small animals. Being the prey3 of hunters, we had planned to defend ourselves against our joint enemy, the hunters, and promised to share life and death through thick and thin. Now our enemy has killed my companion. His death may mean the death of me tomorrow. We are real friends and real friends must share everything. How could I not help weeping!"
"Oh, I see. You have good reasons to weep over the death of such a partner," exclaimed the elderly gentleman.
The idiom, "The fox is sad at the death of the hare," comes from the story above, illustrating4 how one feels sad for the death or misfortunes of his companions.
从前,一只兔子和一只狐狸为对付共同的敌人——猎人,彼此联盟发誓:要同生死,共患难。一天,他们正在田野里享受大自然的美景,不料一群猎人突然前来,一箭就射死了兔子,狐狸也险遭不测。猎人走后,狐狸就跑到兔子身旁,哀泣悲悼。
有个长者经过,看见狐狸在兔子旁边哭泣,觉得奇怪,就问狐狸哭泣的原因。
狐狸悲哀地说:“我和兔子同样是微小的动物,是猎人捕猎的对象。我们相约共同对敌,共生死,同患难。现在我的同盟被猎人射死,他今日的死亡,意味着我明天的死亡。我们是真正的朋友,我哪能不伤心哭泣呢!”
成语“兔死狐悲”就源自这个故事,表示因同类的死亡或不幸而感到悲伤。
