用英語講中國傳統故事——chisel wall to steal light 鑿壁借光
During the Western-Han Dynasty, there was a teenager named Kuang Heng, who was extremely diligent to learn.His family is poverty, so he had to work hard during the day to make ends meet. 
Only at night, he could focus on study. However, he couln't afford candles, once it got dark, he could not study anymore.
His neighbor was rich. Every night rooms were brightly lit with candles.他的鄰居家很富有。一到晚上，好幾間屋子都點起蠟燭，把屋子照的通亮。One day, Kuang Heng asked his neighbor:"I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles, Could I borrow a little space in your house please?"一天，匡衡鼓起勇氣對鄰居說：“我晚上想讀書，可買不起蠟燭，可否借用你們家的一寸之地呢？”
The neighbor looked down on his poverty and ridiculed him:"Since you are so poor, what's the point of studying?"鄰居瞧不起他們家窮，就挖苦他：“既然窮的買不起蠟燭，還讀什麼書呢！”Kuang Heng was very angry, which only strengthened his determination to study hard.
When he returned home, he drilled a small hole in the wall, the candlelight from the neighbor's shone through the hole.匡衡回到家中，在破損的牆壁上輕輕地鑿了一個小洞，鄰居家的燭光就從這個洞裏透過來了。He used this faint light to read eagerly.
With such perseverance, Kuang Heng read various books, eventually becoming a scholar and even serving as a prime minister. 憑藉這般毅力，匡衡博覽羣書，成爲了西漢學者，甚至還做了丞相。
