知识扩展：成语典故原文以及翻译

原文

宋人有闵其苗之不长而揠之者，芒芒然归，谓其人曰：“今日病矣!予

助苗长矣!”其子趋而往视之，苗则槁矣。天下之不助苗长者寡矣。以为无益而舍之者，不耘苗者也;助之长者，揠苗者也。非徒无益，而又害之。(出自《孟子·公孙丑上》)

译文

有个担忧他的禾苗长不高而把禾苗往上拔的宋国人，一天下来十分疲劳但很满足，回到家对他的家人说：“今天可把我累坏了，我帮助禾苗长高了!”他儿子听说后急忙到地里去看苗(的情况)，然而苗都枯萎了。

天下不希望自己禾苗长得快一些的人很少啊!以为禾苗长大没有用处而放弃的人，就像是不给禾苗锄草的懒汉。妄自帮助它生长的人，就像这个拔苗助长的人，不但没有好处，反而害了它。
