刻舟求剑

湖北省荆门市掇刀中学 鲁勇供稿

A man from the State of Chu was crossing a river in a boat when his sword fell into the water.Immediately he made a mark on the boat.“This is where my sword fell off,”he said.When the boat stopped moving,he jumped into the water to look for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.

The boat moved but the sword had not.Isn’t this a foolish way to look for the sword?

Notes: ① swordn.剑 ② markv.标出

有一个楚国人坐船过江。这时，他的剑不小心掉进了水里。他急忙在船边上掉剑的地方刻下记号，并说：“这是我的剑掉下去的地方。”船停后，他就从刻记号的地方下水去寻剑。

船已向前开了，而剑不动。这样捞剑，不是很蠢吗？
