车水马龙 Chē shuǐ mă lóng
从前有个皇后姓马，她生活非常简朴。马皇后很喜欢读书，做事很讲道理。后来，她成了皇太后，很多人都想去巴结她。连皇帝和大臣们都想了各种办法来奖赏马太后的家人。
Once upon a time, there was a Queen whose surname was Ma. She lived very simply. She liked to read and was very sensible. When she became Queen, many people wanted to please her. Even the King and ministers tried to reward her families.
马太后知道后，很生气，她说："我的家人不知道节俭，所以不能奖赏。"皇帝问："他们有多奢侈呢？您说来听听。"
When she came to know of it, she was very angry. She said, "My family members are not frugal, so you should not reward them." The King asked her, "Tell me, just how luxurious are they?"
马太后说："他们门前的车像流水一样，马匹像一条条游龙，都是来送礼的呀!他们只知道享乐，不知道为国家担心，一定不能给他们奖赏!"
The Queen replied, "The long line of chariots and horses at their front gates which come bearing gifts are like flowing water and a swimming dragon. They only know how to enjoy themselves, but don't know to share the burden with the country. So you mustn't reward them."
