1.經(jīng)典小故事英語及翻譯
An unlucky fox fell into a well. It was quite deep, so he could not get out by himself.
A goat passed by. He asked the fox what he was doing in the well. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down to get some water. Why don’t you come down here too?"
The goat believed his words, and jumped down into the well.
But the fox immediately jumped on the goat’s back and up to the edge of the well.
"Good-bye, friend," said the fox. "Remember next time don’t trust the advice of a man in difficulties."
【參考譯文】
一只不走運的狐貍，失足掉到了井里。井很深，他無法跳出來。
一只山羊經(jīng)過這里，便問狐貍在井下做什么。狐貍說：“哦，你沒有聽說嗎？這里將要大旱，因此我跳進來取水，為什么你不下來一起喝呢？”
山羊相信了狐貍的話，就真的跳進井里。
狐貍立即跳上山羊的背，又一跳，跳上了井沿。
“再見，朋友，”狐貍說，“記住，不要相信一個身陷麻煩的人的建議。”
寓意： 處于困境之中的人為了擺脫困境，往往不惜犧牲別人的利益，所以他們的建議常常是不可信的。

On the third day after he was born, Little Elephant went with his mother to the banks of a stream, and there he saw a bird in the sky flying here and there. Little Elephant said: “If I could fly, I could see even more things, it would be great!”

Seeing this, the snake said: “Little elephant, we all have our own abilities. I can’t fly, but I can sleep in a tree.”
Lion said: “I also can’t fly, but I can jump across a wide river.”
Tiger said, “I can’t fly, but I can swim!”
Little Elephant’s father and mother said to him, “We elephants have great strength, incomparably greater than that little bird’s.”
Little Elephant understood. He used his long nose as a hook and moved a large branch.
