中國成語故事邯鄲學步雙語版

　　Handan was the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period.

　　邯鄲，是戰(zhàn)國時期趙國的首都。

　　A young man in the State of Yan heard that the State of Zhao was more powerful than the State of Yan, so he was much interested in the State of Zhao. Consequently, he crossed over mountain after mountain by himself and got to Handan.

　　燕國有個青年聽說趙國比燕國強大，對趙國很感興趣。于是，他一個人翻山越嶺，來到了邯鄲。

　　Upon arrival at Handan, he felt that the State of Zhao was indeed more stable than the State of Yan. Even the way of walking of the people of the State of Zhao looked better than that of the people of the State of Yan. He made up his mind to learn how the people of the State of Zhao walked in Handan, so that in the future the people of the State of Yan could walk as gracefully as them.

　　到了邯鄲，他覺得趙國確實比燕國安定，連趙國人走路的姿勢都比燕國人好看。他決定在邯鄲學會趙國人走路，將來讓燕國人走路也能像趙國人一樣好看。

　　Yet, that was easier said than done. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to learn the gait of the people of the State of Zhao. On the contrary, he even forgot completely how he walked in the State of Yan. In the end, he had no alternative but to crawl back from the State of Zhao to the State of Yan.

　　可是，說起來容易做起來難。這個青年怎么學也沒有學會趙國人走路的姿勢，反而連自己在燕國時如何走路也忘得干干凈凈。最后，池沒有辦法，只好爬著離開趙國回燕國去了。
