成 语：熟 能 生 巧
--------------------------------------------------------
【解释】：熟练了，就能找到窍门。
【原文】欧阳修《归田录》：陈康肃公（尧咨）善射，当世无双，公亦以此自矜。尝射於家圃，有卖油翁释担而立，睨之久而不去。见其发矢十中八、九，但微颔之。康肃问曰：“汝亦知射乎？吾射不亦精乎？”翁曰：“无他，但手熟尔。”康肃忿然曰：“尔安敢轻吾射！”翁曰：“以我酌油知之。”乃取一葫芦置於地，以钱覆其口，徐以杓酌油沥之，自钱孔入而（一作而入）钱不湿，因曰：“我亦无他，惟手熟尔。”康肃笑而遣之。
【译文】北宋有个射箭能手叫陈尧咨，一天，他在家练箭，十中八九，旁观者拍手称绝，陈尧咨自己也很得意，但观众中有个卖油的老头只略微点头，不以为然。陈尧咨很不高兴，问：“你会射箭吗？你看我射得怎样？”老头很干脆地回答：“我不会射箭。你射得可以，但并没有什么奥妙，只是手法熟练而已。”在陈尧咨追问老头有啥本领后，老头把一个铜钱盖在一个盛油的葫芦口，取勺油高高地倒向钱眼，全勺油倒光，未见铜钱眼外沾有一滴油。老头对陈尧咨说：“我也没什么奥妙的地方，只不过手法熟练而已。”
人们由此故事中的两句话“无他，但手熟尔”和“我亦无他，唯手熟尔”引申出“熟能生巧”这个成语，说明不管做什么事情，只要勤学苦练掌握规律，就能找出许多窍门，干起来得心应手。
【示例】：要想掌握技术，只有勤学苦练，才能熟能生巧。
【近义词】：得心应手、游刃有余
【反义词】：半路出家
【语法】：主谓式；作主语、谓语；含褒义
Skill comes from practice
【汉英对照】北宋时期，有个技艺高超的射手。有一天，他在训练场上练习射箭，引来了一大群人观看，大家都称赞他的技艺，他感到非常骄傲。但他发现人群中有个卖油翁只是淡淡的点点头，这使得他很不高兴。
他就问那老头：“你会射箭吗？”
“不会。”
“你认为我的技术如何？”
“一般。没什么特别的，你只能对付固定的东西，仅此而已。”
“你会干什么？”
这个老头没有回答。他把一个葫芦放在地上，接着把一枚铜钱放在瓶口。然后从他的大油壶里舀起一勺油。从高处往放在地上的葫芦里倒。只见那油就像线一样从铜钱中间的小洞里滴下去，一滴都没有漏出来。围观者都惊呆了。而这个卖油翁却说：“其实没什么大不了的，只不过是天天练的结果。”说完，他就离开了。
后来，人们用这个成语来表示熟练了就能作得好。
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground. He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler only nodded his head indifferently. This hurt his Pride.
"Can you do this?" he asked the old oil peddler.
"No, I can't."
"What do you think of my skill?"
"Just OK, but nothing special. You've gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That's all."
"What can you do, then?"
The old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with a copper coin. He then scooped out a ladle of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the bottle. Now, a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, "This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot." And with these words, he left.
Later, people use this phrase to mean "Practice makes perfect".
射手 archer .......... 卖油翁 oil peddler ..........
葫芦 gourd ............. 仅此而已 just so-so .......
北宋时期 Northern Song Dynasty（960－1279）
