掩耳盗铃

有yǒu个人gè rén想xiǎng偷tōu别人bié ren家jiā的de钟zhōng，钟zhōng太tài大dà，搬bān不bú动dòng。

A man wanted to steal a great bell, too heavy to carry.

他tā想xiǎng把bǎ钟zhōng敲qiāo碎suì了le搬bān走zǒu。可是kě shì钟zhōng一yì敲qiāo就jiù响xiǎng，他tā怕pà别人bié ren听见tīng jiàn。

He decided to smash it, but striking it made it ring, and he feared being heard.

他tā捂wǔ住zhù自己zì jǐ的de耳朵ěr duo，觉得jué de这样zhè yàng就jiù谁shéi也yě听tīng不见bú jiàn了le。

He plugged his own ears, sure no one could hear now.

他tā放心fàng xīn地de敲qiāo钟zhōng，人们rén men听见tīng jiàn钟zhōng声shēng，把bǎ他tā抓住zhuā zhù了le。

He struck the bell freely; everyone heard, and he was caught.

骗piàn得了dé le自己zì jǐ，骗piàn不bù了le别人bié ren。

You may fool yourself, you cannot fool others.
