画蛇添足的意思是什么? 寓意是什么?
画蛇添足：
画蛇时给蛇添上脚.比喻做了多余的事,非但无益,反而不合适.也比喻虚构事实,无中生有.
画蛇添足 (发音 huà shé tiān zú)
【解 释】 画蛇时给蛇添上脚.比喻做了多余的事,反而有害无益,徒劳无功.
【出 处】 西汉·刘向《战国策·齐策二》：“蛇固无足,子安能为之足?”
【用 法】 连动式；作宾语；含贬义
【示 例】 周而复《上海的早晨》第四部：“他想接上去说,又觉得是～,只好惋惜地坐着没动.”
【近义词】 徒劳无功、多此一举
【反义词】 画龙点睛、恰到好处、恰如其分
【灯 谜】 巳
【典 故】
故事发生在古代楚国.有一家人家祭祀祖宗.仪式完毕后,把剩下的一壶酒,赏给手下的办事人员喝.人多酒少,很难分配.这几个人就商量分酒的办法.有个人说：“一壶酒分给几个人喝,太少了.要喝就喝个痛快.给一个人喝才过瘾呢!”大家都这样想,可是谁也不肯放弃这个权利.另一个提议说：“这样吧,让我们来个画蛇比赛.每个人在地上画一条蛇,谁先画完,谁就喝这壶酒.”大伙儿都赞成这个办法.于是每个人折了一根树枝,同时开始画起来.有一个人画得最快,转眼之间,把蛇画好了.他左手抓过酒壶,得意地看看同伴,心想,他们要赶上我还差得远哩.便洋洋自得地说：“我再给蛇添上几只脚,也能比你们先画完.”正当他画第二只脚的时候,另一个人把蛇画完了.他一把夺过酒壶说：“蛇本来是没有脚的,你画的根本就不是蛇.还是我先画完,酒应当归我喝.” 添画蛇脚的人无话可说,只好咽着唾沫,看别人喝酒.
[提示]
画蛇,就要象一条蛇；添上脚,就成了“四不象”.做任何事情都要实事求是,不卖弄聪明,不节外生技.否则,非但不能把事情做好,反而会把事情办糟.
[原文]
楚有祠者①,踢其舍人卮酒②.舍人相谓曰③：“数人饮之不足,一人饮之有余,请画地为蛇,先成者饮酒.”一人蛇先成,引酒且饮之④；乃左手持卮,右手画蛇曰：“吾能为之足.”未成.一人之蛇成,夺其卮曰：“蛇固无足⑤,子安能为之足⑥?”遂饮其
酒⑦.为蛇足者,终亡其酒⑧.——《战国策》

①祠（cí）——春祭.
②舍人——古代王公贵族手下的办事人员.卮（zhī）—— 古代盛酒的器具.
③相谓——互相商量.
④引酒——拿过酒杯.引,取过来.且——将要.
⑤固——本来.
⑥子——对人的尊称.安——怎么.
⑦遂——就.
⑧亡——失去.
示例 将军功绩已成,威声大震,可以止矣.今若前进,倘不如意,正如“～”也.（明·施耐庵《水浒全传》第一百十回）
英文：draw a snake and add feet to it—ruin the effect by adding sth.superfluous 蛇本来没有脚有人却给它加上脚,故事见《战国策·齐策二》.比喻做事多此一举,反而坏事.例：今若前进,倘不如意,正如画蛇添足也.——《三国演义》
有关诚信的英语四级作文
Honesty is gold honesty means speaking the truth and being fair. If a man lies and cheats is dishonest. A man can succeed not by hard labour is by faith. Honesty is a good virtue, if you have always been honest, you'll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon by others and be regarded as an evil member of the herd. Once you lie, even if you speak the truth, people will never believe you. However, in the tide of commodity economy today, many people often abandon faith pursuit of money. In their view, health, beauty, money, intelligence, honesty, talent, honesty is the most easy. They don't understand or pretend not to understand that honesty is one of the most precious wealth, but also is the primary condition to do things. I think these people deserve sympathy. In a word, honesty is gold. Honest, your reputation is good, not honest, you will not be respected. Therefore, we do not think that is a lie, but should immediately in sowed the seeds of faith.

2019年大学英语四级考试阅读理解试题
四级考试中的阅读题那么多，也是我们最容易拿分的地方，我为你提供了2019年大学英语四级考试阅读理解试题，一起来看看吧，希望能帮助到你。 2019年大学英语四级考试阅读理解试题：父亲形象 Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it's a girl." Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experiencewith them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy wasan accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this reconciliation (协调) process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of fathers. It is argued by some writers that the change to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative(创新的) adaptation. On the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household. 练习题： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.What can we know about fatherhood from the passage? A.It brings a feeling of excitement to most man B.It make some man feel proud and others uneasy C.It has a different meaning for men who have daughters D.It means a responsibility that men accept unwillingly 2.What does the passage say about the shift from the role of husband to that of father? A. Numerous books have been written about it. B. Not enough attention has been paid to it. C. The shift is harder for men than for women. D. The shift is a difficult but incomplete one. 3.What can we know about mothers from the passage? A.Mothers get more attention and recognition from society B.Mothers are innovative and demanding according to some writers C.Mothers generally stay at home to take care of the children D.Mothers should help fathers in their reconciliation process 4.Which of the following will the author most probably disagree with? A. It's as difficult to be a father as it is to be a mother. B. More books should focus on the role of fathers. C. The father is still the breadwinner in the household. D. Fathers are as important to children as mothers. 5.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to A. explain why there are few books on the role of fathers. B. praise mothers for their great contributions to the home. C. criticize fathers for not taking enough responsibility in bringing up the children. D. complain about the lack of social programs to help fathers in their role shift. 参考答案及解析 1.[B] 事实细节题。由第2段第2句中的pride和worry可以判断选项B是对该句的近义替换。选项A原文未提到。选项C曲解了原文第2段第1句的意思，该句中的“Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning”表示对于每个男人来说当上父亲具有不同的意义，而不是就琼斯先生而言。第2段最后一句表明只有部分人不情愿接受责任，因此在D选项men前面加上some才正确。 2.[B] 推理判断题。根据第3段最后两句可以推断选项B正确。选项A与第3段最后一句陈述的相反。最后一段第1句虽有提及向父亲角色的转变很困难,但并未像选项C那样对比。选项D错在incomplete一词,文中并未提及与该词相关的内容。 3.[A] 推理判断题。本题可用排除法。选项B曲解了最后一段第2、3句对母亲角色的描述。选项C与原文最后一句不符。选项D原文未提及。只有选项A概括了全文关于母亲的论述，而且第2段最后一句也暗示母亲受到的关注更多。 4.[C] 推理判断题。最后一句提到很多人仍然认为父亲应该负担家计,但从本句的用词如even though和still可以看出作者对这种看法并不认同，由此可以判断只有选项C作者可能不赞成。 5.[D] 主旨大意题。原文第1、2段讲到父亲们对将为人父的不同反应;第3段指出很少有人尝试帮助父亲完成角色的转换;最后一段是一些作家对此做出的不太符合事实的解释，因此，只有选项D能概括文章的写作目的。选项A只是文中第2段中的某个细节;选项B的重点是mother,与本文的论题不符;作者并无批评父亲之意，因此选项C不正确。 2019年大学英语四级考试阅读理解试题：技能多样性 It’s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity(多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate(公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place,diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing andat where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promotingpolicies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that does not occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying.”Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy(不拘一格选人才)” (which was never true-we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years.) I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is betterbecause corporate board rooms or on college campuses. 练习题： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.The word”imperative”(Line5,Para.1) most probably refers to something _____ A.Superficial B.remarkable C.debatable D.essential 2.Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity? A. Minorities. B. Politicians. C. Professors. D. Managers. 3.High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as to ______ A. lower the rate of unemployment B. win equal political rights for minorities C. be competitive in the world market D. satisfy the demands of a growing population 4.It can be inferred from the passage that _____ A. meritocracy can never be realized without diversity B. American political circles will not accept diversity C. it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U.S. Media D. minorities can only enter the fields were no debate is heard about diversity 5.According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society by ____ A. expanding the pool of potential employees B. promoting policies that provide skills to employees C. training more engineers, scientists lawyers and business managers D. providing education for all regardless of race or sex 参考答案及解析 1.[D] 词义理解题。本句说到公司要在地球村和全球市场上竞争，多样性是imperative，由前文“没有取消引起多样性的手段”和下文提到的公司对各种各样有技能的美国人的需求可知，多样性对于企业来说应该“必需的”故D正确。 2.[B] 事实细节题。第2段末句指出这种辩论主要存在于政治圈和媒体中，结合上句内容，可知其中的this debate指的就是关于多样性的辩论，故B正确。 3.[C] 事实细节题。由第1段第4句可知，公司高层领导人促进多样化的原因是想要在全球市场上更具竞争力，C与此相符。 4.[A] 推理判断题。第2段中提到有些人认为在没有多样性的过去照样能做到不拘—格选人才，但作者马上which was never true否定此观点，故A正确。第2段只提到多样性的辩论存在于政治圈和媒体，但并不代 表在这两个圈子里不能接受或从未出现多样性，故排除B、C;D说法过于绝对,且在文中找不到依据，也可排除。 5.[D] 推理判断埋。由第1段倒数第2句可知企业expand the pool就意味着向more minorities，more women 和 more immigrants提供技能培训，而expand the pool对应的就是题干中的说的多样性的形成，D中的race 和sex分别对文中minorities和women，故正确。A泛泛而谈，没有说到点子上，不如D具体、准确;B与多样性没有关系，C是利用文中的有关职业的词拼凑而成的干扰项。

Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experiencewith them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy wasan accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this reconciliation (协调) process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of fathers. It is argued by some writers that the change to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative(创新的) adaptation. On the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household. 练习题： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.What can we know about fatherhood from the passage?

It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate(公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place,diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing andat where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promotingpolicies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that does not occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying.”Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy(不拘一格选人才)” (which was never true-we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years.) I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is betterbecause corporate board rooms or on college campuses. 练习题： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.The word”imperative”(Line5,Para.1) most probably refers to something _____ A.Superficial B.remarkable C.debatable D.essential 2.Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?
