很久以前,有一个叫匡衡的小男孩。他家很穷,买不起油灯,晚上就没法读书。匡衡非常喜欢学习,他白天在田里干活,晚上回到家却没有足够的光线读书,心里非常着急。

A long time ago, there was a boy named Kuang Heng. His family was very poor and couldn't afford an oil lamp, so he couldn't read at night. Kuang Heng loved studying very much. He worked in the fields during the day and returned home at night, but there wasn't enough light for him to read, which made him very anxious.

一天晚上,匡衡坐在家里,看着暗淡的屋子,心里想着:“要是能有灯光该多好啊!”突然,他看到墙壁上有一处裂缝,透过这道裂缝可以隐约看到隔壁人家的灯光。他灵机一动,用小刀把这个裂缝挖大,这样隔壁家的灯光就能透过洞照到他的房间。

One night, Kuang Heng sat at home, looking at the dim room, and thought to himself, "It would be so nice to have some light!" Suddenly, he noticed a crack in the wall through which he could faintly see the light from the neighbor's house. An idea struck him, and he used a small knife to widen the crack. This way, the light from the neighbor's house could shine through the hole into his room.

从那以后,每天晚上,匡衡都借着从墙缝透过来的灯光读书。他读得津津有味,完全忘记了疲劳和困倦。邻居看到匡衡这么刻苦,非常感动,主动邀请他到自己家里来读书,并给他提供了更多的书籍。

From then on, every night, Kuang Heng read by the light that came through the crack in the wall. He read with great interest, completely forgetting his fatigue and drowsiness. The neighbor, seeing how hard Kuang Heng was studying, was very touched and invited him to come and read in their house, providing him with more books.
