水滴石穿 Shuǐ dī shí chuān
水滴石穿 Shuǐ dī shí chuān
宋朝时，有个叫张乖崖的县令。那时候，他们县小偷很多，甚至连县衙的钱库也经常被偷，于是他决定要好好地整治一下。
In Song Dynasty, there was a county magistrate named Zhang Guaiya. At that time, there were many thieves in his county; even the treasury of the county government had been repeatedlystolen from. Therefore, he decided to solve the problem.
有一天，他看到他的下属慌慌张张地从钱库中走出来，就急忙把下属叫住："你慌慌张张地干什么呢？" "没什么。" 下属回答说。张乖崖觉得有点奇怪，于是派人搜查，结果从下属的帽子里找到了一枚铜钱。
One day, Zhang Guaiya saw his subordinate coming out from the treasury in a hurried manner. He asked him, "Why are you so restless?" "It's nothing", his subordinate answered. Zhang Guaiya found it strange and sent others to investigate. As a result, a copper coin was found in his hat.
张乖崖问下属："你一共从钱库里偷了多少钱？"下属满不在乎地说："我就偷了一枚铜钱，你能把我怎么样？"
Zhuang Guiya asked him, "How much did you steal from the treasury?" His subordinate answered nonchalantly, "I only stole one copper coin, and so what can you do to me?"
张乖崖很生气，说道："你一天偷一枚，一千天就是一千枚。就好像用绳子不停地锯木头，木头也会被锯断；水滴不停地滴在石头上，也能把石头滴穿。"
Zhang Guaiya was angry and said, "You stole one each day, which means one thousand coins for one thousand days, just as wood is cut by the incessant sawing of a rope; and dripping water wears through the stone."
张乖崖按照法律处置了下属，从此以后，他们县的社会风气也好了很多。
Zhang Guaiya punished him according to the law. From then on, the social morality of his county was much better.
