青岛亚美欧国际英语培训中心给大家总结了一些经典的英语成语故事，详细如下，希望同学们认真研读，有所收获。

不入虎穴，焉得虎子

东汉时候，班超跟随奉车都尉（官名）窦固和匈奴打仗，立有功劳。后被派出使西域。西域的头领对他热情接待，十分敬重，但隔一个时期，忽然变得怠慢起来。班超召集同来约三十六人说：“郑善国近对我们很冷淡，一定是北方匈奴也派有人来笼络他，使他躇踌不知顺从那一边。聪明人要在事情还没有萌芽的时候就发现它，何况现在事情已经很明显了。”

经过打听，果然是这样。于是班超又约同所有的人：“我们现在处境很危险，匈奴使者才来几天，郑善国王就对我们这么冷淡，如果再过一些时候。郑善国王可能会把我们绑起来送给匈奴。你们说，这该怎么办？”当时大家坚决地表示愿听他的主张。他使继续道：“不入虎穴，不得虎子。现在的办法，就是在今天夜里用火攻击匈奴来使，迅速把他们杀了。只有这样，郑善国王才会诚心归顺汉朝。”

这天夜里，班超就和他同去的三十六个同伴，冲入匈奴人住所，奋力死战，用少数人力了多数的匈奴人，达到了预期目的。

以后的人就根据这个故事，引伸成“不入虎穴，不得虎子”这句话，用来说明人们做事，如果不下决心，不身历险境，不经过艰苦的努力，是不能达到目的的。例如有几位科学家为欲研究利用冰川化水灌溉农田的可能性，准备到冰山实地考察和实验。这是一件危险而艰辛的工作，但他们认为不实地去考察研究，便不能得到真实结果。这种情况，便可说是： “不入虎穴，焉得虎子”。
