看故事學(xué)英語：不寒而栗

 　　英語學(xué)習(xí)的方式有很多中，通過成語故事學(xué)英語，每天一個(gè)成語英語故事學(xué)習(xí)，讓英語學(xué)習(xí)一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)進(jìn)步。接下來一起學(xué)習(xí)吧。During the Han dynasty (漢朝, 206BC—220AD), there was a man whose name was Yi Zong (義縱). Because of the special kindness of the mother of the emperor, Yi Zong was made a magistrate in one county.

　　漢武帝時(shí)，有一個(gè)人名叫義縱，因?yàn)槭艿教�后的恩寵，做了上黨郡某縣令。

　　After taking up the official post ,he did very well in managing the official business. He was courageous and resolute in handling cases, and punished according to law anybody who violated the law, no matter whether he was a despotic gentleman who was rich and powerful or was one of the common people.

　　上任以后，公務(wù)辦得很出色，案子處理上敢作敢為，不論是有錢有勢(shì)的豪紳，還是平民， 只要犯了法，義縱秉公審辦。

　　When Yi Zong was transferred to be the prefect of the Nanyang Prefecture (南陽郡), Ning Cheng (寧成), a despotic landlord who stopped at nothing in doing evil, was living there，in order to ingratiate himself with Yi Zong, Ning Cheng pretended to be very modest and courteous every time he met Yi Zong and saw him off.

　　當(dāng)義縱被調(diào)任到南陽郡做河內(nèi)郡都尉，當(dāng)?shù)氐膼喊詫幊蔀榱擞懞昧x縱，所以每次遇見義縱總是假裝成非常謙遜恭敬的樣子。

　　But Yi Zong had heard of the evil conducts of Ning Cheng already and, soon after he took office in Nanyang,he made investigations. It did not take much time for him to find out Ning cheng's crimes and had him put in prison.

　　但是，義縱對(duì)他的惡行早有所聞，到南陽后立即展開調(diào)查，很快就查清他的罪行，把他關(guān)押起來。

　　Later, Emperor Wu Di (漢武帝) of the Han Dynasty appointed Yi Zong the prefect of the Dingxiang Prefecture (定襄).

　　后來，漢武帝又任命義縱做定襄太守。

　　At that time, the public order in Dingxiang was very chaotic. When he took office there, there were 200 convicts in prison who had committed felonies had no implements of punishment on them.There were also more than 200 persons who offered bribes in order to absolve those serious offenders from guilt.Yi Zong treated the matter severely. He arrested all those bribers and punished the bribers and those serious offenders already in prison severely. More than 400 convicts were executed in a day.

　　當(dāng)時(shí)定襄的社會(huì)治安十分混亂。義縱到任以后，把押在獄中的沒有加開具的二百多名重犯，以及為重犯開脫罪責(zé)進(jìn)行賄賂的二百多名門客親屬，一律嚴(yán)加追究，拘捕治罪，一天之內(nèi)處死的就有四百多名。

　　From that day on, whenever the name of Yi Zong was mentioned，people in Dingxiang would tremble with fear --they would shiver all over though not cold.

　　從此以后，定襄的人一聽到義縱的名字就“不寒而栗”——天氣不冷卻渾身發(fā)抖。
