沉鱼落雁 Chényú luòyàn
古时候有四大美女，其中一个是越国的西施，她住在小溪边。西施的眼睛鼻子都很美，身材也非常好。她每天都去小溪边洗衣服，身影倒映在溪水里。水里的鱼儿都看呆了，忘记了游泳，居然沉到了水底。
In Ancient China there were the Four Beauties. One of these beauties was named Xishi. She lived in the state of Yue by a small stream. Xishi was slender and lithe with beautiful eyes and a perfect nose. Everyday she would go to the nearby stream to wash her clothes. Upon seeing her reflection in the water, fish often became so lost in her beauty they would forget to swim, and sink down to the stream's floor.
另外一位美女是汉代的王昭君，她像仙女一样美，很会弹琴。皇帝把她嫁给了北方匈奴国的国王。在出嫁的路上，王昭君弹起了琵琶。这时有一群大雁飞过，因为她的琴声太动听了，大雁竟然忘记抖动翅膀而掉到了地上。
Another one of the "Four Beauties," Wang Zhaojun, lived during the Han Dynasty. She was as beautiful as an angel and very gifted musically. The Emperor ordered her to marry a king in the Northern Hunnu State. On the way to the wedding, she began to play a four-stringed Chinese lute. At that very moment, a flock of wild geese flew by. The sound of her lute was so beautiful the geese quickly forgot how to flap their wings and fell to earth.
