　　Lamenting One's Littleness before the Vast Ocean.

　　This is an old fable story about the gods. Long long ago, there lived in the Yellow River (huáng hé 黃河) a river god known as He Bo (hé bó河伯). One day, He Bo stood on the riverbank and watched the turbulent waves from the west surging forward to the east. Being very impressed by the magnificent scene, he said excitedly and conceitedly:"How big the Yellow River is !It’s so broad and spectacular that can dwarf any other rivers in the world. Well,it’s safe to say that I am the greatest river god."

　　One man disagreed with him by saying :"You would not say that if you have ever seen the North Sea,which is incomparable to the Yellow River." He Bo responed arrogantly,"I don't believe it. Big as the North Sea is, can it be bigger than Yellow River?" The man laughed,"Should the water of several Yellow Rivers all flow into the North sea, it could not fill the North Sea, let alone one Yellow River. You will not be able to understand what I mean until you have a chance to see the North Sea in person."

　　Winter came, and torrential rain had been falling for days on end. Rivers big and small emptied themselves into the Yellow River, making the Yellow River even broader.Standing on one side of the river, people could hardly tell what animals the oxen and horses on the other side of the river were. Thus He Bo was even more proud, thinking that all the magnificent sights were accumulated here. Then, remembering the North Sea which had been mentioned to him before,he decided to go there and have a look.

　　He went downstream, and arrived at the river mouth to the sea. Suddenly, the god of the North Sea, whose name was Biennia Ruo, appeared before his eyes.With a smile,Beihai Ruo was welcoming He Bo to the North sea. He looked ahead,and saw that the North Sea, with its vast expanse of water, was boundless. With a dull look in his eyes,He Bo stood there for a while. Finally he said to Beihai Ruo with deep feeling, "As the common saying goes, some people go so far as to think that they are more knowledgeable than anybody else when they have got some knowledge. Actually I am one of such people. If I had not seen with that the Yellow River is matchless in the world. If I remained like that, I would be laughed at for ever by sensible people."

　　Translation 譯文

　　望洋興嘆(wàng yáng xīng tàn)

　　相傳很久很久以前，黃河里有一位河神，人們叫他河伯。何伯站在黃河岸上。望著滾滾的浪濤由西而來(lái)，又奔騰跳躍向東流去，興奮地說(shuō);“黃河真大呀，世上沒(méi)有哪條河能和它相比。我就是最大的水神啊!”

　　有人告訴他：“你的話(huà)不對(duì)，在黃河的東面有個(gè)地方叫北海，那才真叫大呢。”

　　河伯說(shuō)：“我不信，北海再大，能大得過(guò)黃河嗎?”

　　那人說(shuō)：“別說(shuō)一條黃河，就是幾條黃河的水流進(jìn)北海，也裝不滿(mǎn)它。”

　　河伯固執(zhí)地說(shuō)：“我沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)北海，我不信。”

　　那人無(wú)可奈何，告訴他：“有機(jī)會(huì)你去看看北海，就明白我的話(huà)了。”

　　秋天到了，連日的暴雨使大大小小的河流都注入黃河，黃河的河面更加寬闊了，隔河望去，對(duì)岸的.牛馬都分不清。這一下，河伯更得意了，以為天下最壯觀(guān)的景色都在自己這里，他在自得之余，想起了有人跟他提起的北海，于是決定去那里看看。

　　河伯順流來(lái)到黃河的入海口，，突然眼前一亮，海神北海若正笑容滿(mǎn)面地歡迎他的到來(lái)，河伯放眼望去，只見(jiàn)北海汪洋一片，無(wú)邊無(wú)涯，他呆呆地看了一會(huì)兒，深有感觸地對(duì)北海若說(shuō)：“俗話(huà)說(shuō)，只懂得一些道理就以為誰(shuí)都比不上自己，這話(huà)說(shuō)的就是我呀。今天要不是我親眼見(jiàn)到這浩瀚無(wú)邊的北海，我還會(huì)以為黃河是天下無(wú)比的呢!那樣，豈不被有見(jiàn)識(shí)的人永遠(yuǎn)笑主。”

　　故事見(jiàn)于《莊子?秋水》。成語(yǔ)“望洋興嘆”，比喻要做某事而力量不夠，感到無(wú)可奈何。

　　Explanation 解釋

　　Looking ocean: look up. Looking up to the sea god and sigh. Originally in front of the great things lamented his own small. More than metaphor when doing things because of incompetence or no conditions and feel helpless.

　　望洋：仰視的樣子。仰望海神而興嘆。原指在偉大事物面前感嘆自己的渺小。現(xiàn)多比喻做事時(shí)因力不勝任或沒(méi)有條件而感到無(wú)可奈何。
