这是古文原文。可以先读一遍原文,再参考下面的白话版本,用自己的话讲给孩子听,一起录下来。
原文
叶公子高好龙,钩以写龙,凿以写龙,屋室雕文以写龙,于是夫龙闻而下之,窥头于牖,拖尾于堂,叶公见之,弃而还走,失其魂魄,五色无主,是叶公非好龙也,好夫似龙而非龙者也。
白话参考(由 AI 翻译,仅供参考。父母可以按照自己的理解来讲、来录)
有个叫叶公的人,他特别喜欢龙。他让人在器物上画龙,把墙上也刻上龙,家里的屋子到处都雕着龙的花纹。有一天,天上的真龙听说了这事,就飞下来,真的龙把头伸进窗户,尾巴拖进大厅。叶公一看到真的龙,吓得扔下东西就跑,也吓得魂都快没了,脸色变得五颜六色。这说明叶公其实并不是真的喜欢龙,他只喜欢那些像龙但是不是真的龙的东西。
