The Mice of Yongzhou
（永州之鼠）
In ancient times, there was a man in Yongzhou who was very superstitious. He had many taboos in life—he was always afraid of doing something wrong and making his life "unlucky". Among all his taboos, the most notable one was his family’s attitude toward mice.
This man was born in the Year of the Rat (according to the Chinese zodiac). Since the rat was the "sacred animal" of his birth year, he cherished mice very much. Not only did he treat mice well himself, but he also asked everyone in his family to be kind to and respect mice just like him. He forbade keeping cats at home (for cats would threaten mice) and also stopped his servants from chasing, beating, or scolding mice.
Mice could come and go freely in his house—they had no restrictions, not only in the main hall and warehouse, but even in the bedrooms and kitchen. His home had simply become a paradise for mice.
As time passed, the mice told each other about this place. Soon, mice from all around learned about this "paradise" and flocked to his house in groups. They ate and drank to their hearts’ content, ran amok without fear, and enjoyed all the freedom and happiness in this family’s home. They ate the grain in the warehouse recklessly,钻 into the wardrobes without hesitation to chew up the clothes, and even tasted the freshly cooked meals first.
What’s more, no part of the house was spared—the doors, windows, beams, and pillars were all covered with mice’s tooth marks and traces of their chewing. But because he insisted on "respecting" mice, the man never allowed his family to harm them, even though the house was made a mess and filled with chaos.
Perhaps the mice had never met such a man before—they became even more arrogant. They caused trouble not only during the day, but also at night: after the family fell asleep, they deliberately played and fought, chewed on things, squeaked, and made all kinds of harsh and strange noises. They disturbed the family so much that they couldn’t sleep peacefully.
In the end, the family could stand it no longer. On the condition of not harming the mice, they discussed and decided to move away to escape them.
After they moved out, another family moved in. But the mice still lived their comfortable and free life as before. The new owner saw this and said angrily: "These dirty things that fear the sun—how did they get so bold to steal and make trouble like this "
He made a quick decision at once: he found five or six cats, closed the main door, removed some tiles from the house, poured water into the mice holes, and even hired some people to search and chase the mice together with his family.
In the end, the dead mice piled up like small hills. The "dream of a paradise life" for these hateful mice finally came to an end.
Moral
The story warns us that we must never indulge or tolerate bad people—otherwise, they will become even more reckless. On the other hand, even if evildoers can find a "protector" for a while, this protection will never last long, and they will eventually come to a bad end. In our daily lives, we should keep our eyes open to tell right from wrong, never indulge evil to grow, and wisely punish evil and promote good.
永州之鼠（中文翻译）
古时候，永州有个人非常迷信。他在生活中有很多忌讳 —— 总怕做错事，让自己的生活 “不吉利”。在所有忌讳里，最显眼的是他们家对老鼠的态度。
这个人出生在鼠年（根据中国生肖）。因为老鼠是他的 “本命年神兽”，所以他格外爱惜老鼠。他不仅自己对老鼠很好，还要求家里所有人都像他一样善待、尊重老鼠。他禁止家里养猫（因为猫会威胁到老鼠），还不让仆人追赶、殴打或责骂老鼠。
老鼠在他家可以自由出入 —— 毫无限制，无论是大厅、仓库，甚至卧室和厨房都能去。他家简直成了老鼠的天堂。
随着时间推移，老鼠们互相转告这个地方。很快，四面八方的老鼠都知道了这个 “天堂”，成群结队地涌到他家。它们尽情吃喝，肆无忌惮地捣乱，在这家人家里享受着所有自由和快乐。它们毫无顾忌地吃仓库里的粮食，毫不犹豫地钻进衣柜咬坏衣服，甚至还会先尝一口刚做好的饭菜。
更过分的是，家里没有一处地方能幸免 —— 门、窗、横梁、柱子上，全是老鼠的牙印和啃咬的痕迹。可因为他坚持要 “尊重” 老鼠，即便家里被弄得乱七八糟、一片混乱，他也从不允许家人伤害它们。
或许这些老鼠从没遇到过这样的人 —— 它们变得更加嚣张。它们不仅白天捣乱，晚上也不闲着：一家人睡着后，它们故意打闹、啃东西、吱吱叫，发出各种刺耳又奇怪的声音。它们把这家人搅得根本没法安睡。
最后，这家人实在忍无可忍了。在不伤害老鼠的前提下，他们商量后决定搬走，躲开这些老鼠。
他们搬走后，另一家人搬了进来。可老鼠们还是像以前一样过着舒服自由的日子。新主人看到这情景，生气地说：“这些怕光的脏东西，怎么敢这么大胆地偷东西、捣乱？”
他立刻果断决定：找来五六只猫，关上大门，拆掉屋里的几块瓦片，往老鼠洞里灌水，甚至还雇了几个人，和家人一起搜捕、追赶老鼠。
最后，死老鼠堆得像小山一样。这些可恶的老鼠 “天堂生活的美梦” 终于破灭了。
寓意
这个故事警示我们：绝不能纵容、容忍坏人 —— 否则，他们会变得更加肆无忌惮。另一方面，即便作恶的人能暂时找到 “保护伞”，这种保护也绝不会长久，他们最终一定会落得不好的下场。在日常生活中，我们要擦亮眼睛明辨是非，绝不能纵容邪恶滋生，要明智地惩恶扬善。

“even though” 让步状语从句：例：Even though the house was a mess, he never allowed harming mice.（即便家里一团糟，他也从不允许伤害老鼠。）表 “尽管、即使”，引导的从句内容与主句形成转折关系，语气比 “though” 更强。
