掩耳盗铃

有yǒu一yī个人gè rén想xiǎng偷tōu别人bié ren家jiā的de大dà钟zhōng，可是kě shì钟zhōng太tài重chóng了liǎo，他tā搬bān不bù动dòng。

A man wanted to steal a great bell from a house, but it was too heavy to carry.

他tā想xiǎng把bǎ钟zhōng打dǎ碎suì，再zài一yī块kuài一yī块kuài地dì拿走ná zǒu。

He decided to smash it and take it away piece by piece.

他tā一yī敲qiāo钟zhōng，钟zhōng就jìu响xiǎng了liǎo。他tā害怕hài pà别人bié ren听见tīng jiàn，就jìu把bǎ自己zì jǐ的de耳朵ěr duo捂wǔ住zhù。

At the first strike the bell rang out. Afraid of being heard, he covered his own ears.

他tā以为yǐ wéi别人bié ren也yě听tīng不见bù jiàn，就jìu放心fàng xīn地dì敲qiāo起来qǐ lai。

Thinking others could no longer hear either, he struck away at ease.

结果jiē guǒ，大家dà jiā都dōu听见tīng jiàn了liǎo，他tā被bèi人rén抓住zhuā zhù了liǎo。

Of course everyone heard it, and he was caught.
