英語小故事

A Good Boy

Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"

"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.

"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"

"She is the one who sells the candy."

好孩子

小羅伯特向媽媽要兩分錢。

“昨天給你的錢干什么了？”

“我給了一個(gè)可憐的老太婆，”他回答說。 “你真是個(gè)好孩子，”媽媽驕傲地說�！霸俳o你兩分錢�？赡銥槭裁磳�(duì)那位老太太那么感興趣呢？”

“她是個(gè)賣糖果的。”

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有只鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一個(gè)水瓶，以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。

這是說，有些人想急于得到所需的東西，一時(shí)沖動(dòng)，草率從事，就會(huì)身遭不幸。 The Raven and the Swan烏鴉和天鵝

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經(jīng)常洗澡，羽毛才變得如此潔白無 瑕。于是，他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇，來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 點(diǎn)都沒洗白，反而因缺少食物饑餓而死。

這故事是說，人的本性不會(huì)隨著生活方式的改變而改變。

The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊與牧羊人

A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好東西，單獨(dú)落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去，正巧打斷了山羊的一只角。牧羊人嚇得請(qǐng)求山羊不要告訴主人， 山羊說：“即使我不說，又怎能隱瞞下去呢？我的角已斷了，這是十分明顯的事實(shí)�！�

這故事說明，明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。

The Miser守財(cái)奴

A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."

有個(gè)守財(cái)奴變賣了他所有的家產(chǎn)，換回了金塊，并秘密地埋在一個(gè)地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個(gè)在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金塊拿走了。 守財(cái)奴再來時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個(gè)人見他如此悲痛，問明原因后， 說道：“喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但并不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心里想著那是塊金子，你就會(huì)很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什么不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時(shí)，也從沒用過�！�

這故事說明，一切財(cái)物如不使用等于沒有。

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

一只小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到后，便想找一個(gè)名正言順的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水?dāng)嚋啙崃�，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水?dāng)嚋�。狼見此�?jì)不成，又說道：“我父親去年被你罵過。”小羊說，那時(shí)他還沒有出生。狼對(duì)他說：“不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會(huì)放過 你�！� 這說明，對(duì)惡人做任何正當(dāng)?shù)霓q解也是無效的。

The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠與黃鼠狼

A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黃鼠狼叼去，他請(qǐng)求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會(huì)放過他，自己生來痛恨鳥類。蝙蝠說他是老鼠，不是鳥，便被放了。后來蝙蝠又掉落了下來，被另一只黃鼠狼叼住，他再三請(qǐng)求不要吃他。這只黃鼠狼說他恨一切鼠類。蝙蝠改口說自己是鳥類，并非老 鼠，

又被放了。這樣，蝙蝠兩次改變了自己的名字，終于死里逃生。

這故事說明，我們遇事要隨機(jī)應(yīng)變方能避免危險(xiǎn)。

The Ass and the Grasshopper 驢子與蚱蜢

AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.

驢子聽見蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙動(dòng)聽的歌聲所打動(dòng)，自己也想能發(fā)出同樣悅耳動(dòng)聽的聲音，便 羨慕地問他們吃些什么，才能發(fā)出如此美妙的聲音來。蚱蜢答道：“吃露水�！斌H子便也只吃露水，沒多久就餓死了。

這個(gè)故事告訴人們不要企望非份之物。

The Lion and the Mouse 獅子與報(bào)恩的老鼠

A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:

"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."

獅子睡著了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。獅子猛然站起來，把他抓住，準(zhǔn)備吃掉。老鼠請(qǐng)求饒命，并說如果保住性命，必將報(bào)恩，獅子輕蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，獅子真的被老鼠救了性命。原來獅子被一個(gè)獵人抓獲，并用繩索把他捆在一棵樹上。老鼠聽到了他 的哀嚎，走過去咬斷繩索，放走了獅子，并說：

“你當(dāng)時(shí)嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的報(bào)答，現(xiàn)在可清楚了，老鼠也能報(bào)恩�！� 這故事說明，時(shí)運(yùn)交替變更，強(qiáng)者也會(huì)有需要弱者的時(shí)候。

I'm Trying to Stop It

"Boy, why have you got cotton-wool in your ear? Is it infected?"

"No, sir, but you said yesterday that everything you told me went in one ear and out the other , so I am trying to stop it."

“孩子，你為什么用棉花塞住耳朵？它感染了嗎？”

“沒有，老師�？墒悄阕蛱煺f你告訴我的知識(shí)都是一個(gè)耳朵里進(jìn)，一個(gè)耳朵里出，所以我要把它堵在里面�！�

“I'm sorry ，Madam ，but I shall have to charge you twenty dollars for pulling your boy's tooth .”

“Twenty d ollars! Why ，I understand you to say that you charged only four dollars for such work!”

“Yes ，but this youngster yelled so terribly that he scared four other patients out of the office .”

“對(duì)不起，夫人，為您孩子拔牙我要收取20美元。”

“20美元！為什么？不是說好只要4美元。”

“是的，但是你的孩子大喊大叫，把另外四個(gè)病人嚇跑了。”

約翰：嗯，在夏天天都長，在冬天天都短。

The Old Cat

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

老貓

一位老婦有只貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因?yàn)樗�年紀(jì)太大了。一天，老貓發(fā)現(xiàn)一只老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因?yàn)槔县堃Р涣怂��?/p>

于是，老婦很生氣，因?yàn)槔县垱]有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：“不要打你的老仆人，我已經(jīng)為你服務(wù)了很多年，而且還愿意為你效勞，但是，我實(shí)在太老了，對(duì)年紀(jì)大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時(shí)所做過的有益的事情�！�

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said,

"Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

1、The Thirsty Pigeon

口渴的鴿子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有只鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一個(gè)水瓶，以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。

2、The Raven and the Swan

烏鴉和天鵝

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage.

But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經(jīng)常洗澡，羽毛才變得如此潔白無 瑕。于是，他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇，來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 點(diǎn)都沒洗白，反而因缺少食物饑餓而死。

這故事是說，人的本性不會(huì)隨著生活方式的改變而改變。

A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons.

4、The Miser

守財(cái)奴

A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there.

"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well. " "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."

The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny. 一只小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到后，便想找一個(gè)名正言順的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水?dāng)嚋啙崃�，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水?dāng)嚋�。狼見此�?jì)不成，又說道：“我父親去年被你罵過。”小羊說，那時(shí)他還沒有出生。狼對(duì)他說：“不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會(huì)放過 你�！�
