1.有趣的故事英語
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(jìn)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(jìn)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。
2.有趣的故事英語
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!”
In order to learn to fly, Little Elephant climbed a tree and, with a yelp of “Ai Yo!”, fell heavily to the ground.
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.
小象生下來的第三天,跟媽媽來到小河邊,看見一只小鳥在天空飛來飛去。小象想:“要是我也會飛,可以看到更多的東西,多好呀!”
小象爬到樹去學(xué)飛“哎喲”一聲,摔了一個大跟頭。
蛇看見了說:“小象,我們有自己的本事。我不會飛,可是,我會在樹上睡覺?!?BR> 獅子說:“我也不會飛,可是,我能跳過寬寬的大河?!?BR> 老虎說:“我不會飛,可是我會游泳!”
爸爸媽媽對小象說:“我們象的力氣大,這是小鳥不能比的?!毙∠竺靼琢恕K瞄L鼻子一鉤,大木頭就搬走了。
3.有趣的故事英語
There was a sturdy ram with a pair of thick horns upright on its head.
It strutted about proudly and saw a fence built with bamboo and wood in front, which blocked its way. It cast a sidelong glance at the fence, lowered its neck and lunged at the fence, hoping to knock it down. The fence remained intact but the ram injured its own horns.
If it had not injured its horns, the ram would have persisted obstinately in butting against the fence, even against the spokes of a wheel until it bled with a fractured skull.
As a result, with its horns caught in the fence, the ram could neither advance nor retreat butbleat helplessly.
一頭長得非常雄壯的公羊的頭上,挺立著一對粗大的犄角。
公羊驕傲地踱著步,看見前面有一道竹木編成的籬笆擋住了它的去路。公羊斜著眼睛看看,便彎下脖子呼的一聲撞上去,想把籬笆撞倒。結(jié)果籬笆紋絲不動,它反把自己的犄角碰傷了。
假如公羊沒有碰傷犄角的話,那么它還會一個勁兒地撞下去,甚至向車輪的輻條上撞去,直到頭破血流為止。
結(jié)果呢?公羊的犄角被籬笆夾住,進(jìn)也不得,退也不得,只能“咩咩”不停地叫喚。
4.有趣的故事英語
Once a man wanted to go to the south, but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him: “If you are going to the south, why is your chariot heading north? ” The man answered, “My horse is good at running, my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage, and I have enough money. ” The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong; the better his conditions were, the further he was away from his destination.
從前有個人要到南方去,他坐的車子卻向北方行駛。過路人說:“你去南方,車子怎么向北行駛呢?”他回答說:“我的馬很能跑路,我的車夫駕車的技術(shù)也很高明,加上我又帶了充足的路費?!边@個人沒有考慮到,方向弄反了,他的條件越好,離他要去的地方就越遠(yuǎn)。
The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.
后來人們就把這個故事概括為“南轅北轍”,比喻一個人的行為和他的目的正好相反。
5.有趣的故事英語
One morning when a vixen was taking her babies out of the lair, she saw a lioness and her cub.
Why do you have only one child, dear dame? asked the vixen.
Look at my healthy and numerous children here, and imagine, if you are able, how a proud mother should feel.
The lioness said calmly, Yes, just look at that beautiful collection. What are they? Foxes! Ive only one, but remember, that one is a lion.
一天清早,雌狐貍帶著她的孩子走出巢穴,看見了母獅子和她的孩子。
為什么你只有一個孩子,夫人?雌狐貍問,看我這群健康的孩子,如果有能力,一個驕傲的媽媽應(yīng)該多養(yǎng)一些孩子。
母獅平靜地說:是呀,看看這漂亮的一大群,他們都是狐貍!我只有一個,可他畢竟是一頭獅子。
貴重的價值在于質(zhì),而不在于量。
