To Recognize A Good Steed

　　In the Spring and Autumn Period, a man named Bo Le is an expert in identifying a good horse. He put his experiences in this area into his book Physiognomy Of Horses, which illustrated all kinds of horses with rich pictures and words.

　　His son wanted to learn his skill about identifying a good horse. Then he read the book carefully over and over again. He thought he had mastered the skill. Once he saw a toad along the road, whose forehead was in accord with the features of a good horse. Then he rushed to his father and told him he had found a good steed. Hearing this, Bo Le didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He had to reply jokingly: “ This horse does too  well in jumping, so it’s hard for us to rein it. ”

　　故事梗概

　　春秋時(shí)期，有個(gè)人叫伯樂(lè)，他非常善于鑒別馬匹，他將自己這方面的經(jīng)驗(yàn)寫(xiě)成了一本書(shū)《相馬經(jīng)》，書(shū)中圖文并茂地介紹了各類馬匹。

　　他的兒子想學(xué)到識(shí)馬的本領(lǐng)。于是就把父親的這本書(shū)反復(fù)誦讀，之后，他就以為自己已經(jīng)掌握了這個(gè)本領(lǐng)。有一次他在路上看到了一只癩蛤蟆，前額剛好與《相馬經(jīng)》上的好馬特征相符，便以為找到了一匹千里馬，馬上跑去告訴父親。伯樂(lè)被兒子弄得哭笑不得，就開(kāi)玩笑的回答說(shuō)：“這匹馬太會(huì)跳了，不好駕馭。”
