【成语来源】
At the time when Fan, a nobleman of the state of Jin, became a fugitive, a commoner found a bell and wanted to carry it off on his back.
春秋时侯,晋国贵族智伯灭掉了范氏。有人趁机跑到范氏家里想偷点东西,看见院子里吊着一口大钟。钟是用上等青铜铸成的,造型和图案都很精美。小偷心里高兴极了,想把这口精美的大钟背回自已家去。
But the bell was too big for him.
可是钟又大又重,怎么也挪不动。
[/en]When he tried to knock it into pieces with a hammer there was a loud clanging sound. [/en]
他想来想去,只有一个办法,那就是把钟敲碎,然后再分别搬回家。小偷找来一把大锤,拼命朝钟砸去,咣的一声巨响,把他吓了一大跳。
He was afraid that someone will hear the noise and take the bell from him, so he immediately stopped his own ears.
小偷着慌,心想这下糟了,这种声不就等于是告诉人们我正在这里偷钟吗?他越听越害怕,不同自由地抽回双手,使劲捂住自已的耳朵。
To worry about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but to worry about himself hearing the noise (as if stopping his own ears would prevent other people from hearing) is absurd.
“咦,钟声变小了,听不见了!”小偷高兴起来,“妙极了!把耳朵捂住不住就听不进钟声了吗!”他立刻找来两个布团,把耳朵塞住,心想,这下谁也听不见钟声了。于是就放手砸起钟来,一下一下,钟声响亮地传到很远的地方。人们听到钟声蜂拥而至把小偷捉住了。

江淹出身贫寒,但他十分刻苦,所以后来便当上了一位本地的高官。
Jiang Yan was very talented in the area of literature. Both his poems and his essays were outstanding, and he was known by nearly all the scholars of his time.
江淹十分有文采,在诗词歌赋都十分优秀,在当时的学者中都极富盛名。
Jiang Yan once had a dream that a man came to him and said, “My name is Guo Pu. One of my pens has been here with your for several years. Please give it back to me now.”
有一天,江淹在凉亭里睡觉,做了一个梦,梦中有一个叫郭璞的人对他说:“我有一支笔放在你那里已经很多年了,现在应该是还给我的时候了。”

英文中与“江郎才尽”意义相近的表达是“The well of inspiration has dried up.”这是一个很有趣的表达方式,也很形象,就是说“灵感的源泉干涸了”(“well”有“井”的意思),也可以说“Creative well has dried up.”两个表达方式是一样的,所以当你想说自己没有才思了,有点江郎才尽的感觉的时候,就可以说“My well of inspiration has dried up.”或者“My creative well has dried up.”
我们在一起来看一些例句:
(1)What to do when your inspiration has dried up?(当你江郎才尽的时候,该怎么办呢?)
(2)We may feel that we have nothing fresh or original to contribute, as though the well of inspiration has dried up.(我们可能会觉得没有任何新鲜的创意才思,就像是江郎才尽了。)
(3)Quickly we jump to fear or worry, afraid that our creative will surely dry up.(很快的我们就会变得害怕担忧,担心自己会江郎才尽。)
