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，一時沖動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。

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。”

這故事說明，明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。

The Miser守財奴

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.”

有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產(chǎn)，換回了金塊，并秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個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。守財奴再來時，發(fā)現(xiàn)洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲痛，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，也從沒用過。”

這故事說明，一切財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攪渾濁了，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攪渾。狼見此計不成，又說道：“我父親去年被你罵過。”小羊說，那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說：“不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會放過 你。”

這說明，對惡人做任何正當?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，他請求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會放過他，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，我們遇事要隨機應(yīng)變方能避免危險。

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，被美妙動聽的歌聲所打動，自己也想能發(fā)出同樣悅耳動聽的聲音，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。”驢子便也只吃露水，沒多久就餓死了。

這個故事告訴人們不要企望非份之物。

The Lion and the Mouse 獅子與報恩的老鼠

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，準備吃掉。老鼠請求饒命，并說如果保住性命，必將報恩，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：

“你當時嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的報答，現(xiàn)在可清楚了，老鼠也能報恩。” 這故事說明，時運交替變更，強者也會有需要弱者的時候。

Fox and cock

One morning a fox sees a cock.He think,“This is my breakfast.''

He comes up to the cock and says,”I know

you can sing very well.Can you sing for me?''The cock is glad.He closes his eyes and begins

to sing.The fox sees that and caches him in his mouth and carries him away.The people in the field see the fox.They cry,“Look,look!The fox is carrying the cock away.''The cock says to the fox,”Mr Fox,do you understand?The people say you are carrying their cock away.Tell them it is yours.Not theirs.''

The fox opens his mouth and says,“The cock is mine,not yours.''Just then the cock runs away from the fox and flies into the tree.狐貍和公雞

一天早上，一只狐貍看到了一只公雞。他想：這是我的早餐。

他朝公雞走來，對他說：“我知道，你能唱得非常好聽，你能唱給我聽么？瀨戶早妃”公雞很高興。他閉上眼睛開始唱歌。狐貍看到這些抓住它放到自己的嘴里走了。

在田地里的人們看到了狐貍。大喊大叫：“看，看！狐貍抓住公雞逃走了。”公雞對狐貍說：“狐貍先生，你能理解么？人們認為你叼走了公雞。告訴他們這是你的，不是他們的。” 狐貍張開她的嘴說：“公雞是我的，不是你們的。”就在那時。公雞跑到了樹底下。

and opened the door.“Are you asleep, son?” he asked.“no daddy,” replied the boy.“I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier.” said the man, “Here's the $10 you asked for.” the little boy sat straight up, smiling.“Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn.The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.“Why do you want more money?

你可以翻譯下面的文章嗎

Tooth Pulling

A man and his wife entered a dentist's office.The wife said, “I want a tooth pulled.I don't want gas or Novocain because I'm in a terrible hurry, Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible.”

“You're a brave woman,” said the dentist.“Now, show me which tooth it is.”

The wife turns to her husband and says: “Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it is, dear.”

?? 戀愛中的獅子

? A lion once fell in love with a beautiful girl, so he went to her parents and asked them to marry her to him.The old parents did not know what to say.They did not like the idea of giving their daughter to the lion, but they did not want to enrage the king of beasts.At last the father said, “We are glad to marry our daughter to you, but we fear that you might possibly hurt her.So if you remove your claws and teeth, we will give her to you.”

The lion loved the girl very much, so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth.When he came to the parents again, they simply laughed in his face, and beat him out of their house.一只獅子愛上了一位美麗的女孩兒，便找到她的父母向她求婚。女孩兒的父親不知道該如何回答，他不忍將女兒許配給野獸，但又害怕激怒這獸中之王。于是父親說：“我們很樂意將女兒嫁給你，但又怕你不小心傷害她，如果你拔去牙齒，剁掉利爪，我們就將女兒嫁給你。”獅子非常愛這個女孩兒，于是他修剪了爪子，拔掉了尖牙后又去找女孩的父母。可是這時，他們嘲笑他，并把他趕了出去。

寓意: 有些人輕易相信別人的話，拋棄自己的長處，結(jié)果輕而易舉地被原來害怕他們的人擊敗了。

One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river.The colt could not decide whether he could cross it.Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby.He asked, ”Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?“ The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.the colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him.The squirrel shouted, ”Colt, stop!You'll drown!One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.“ Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.He told his mom his experience on the way.His mother said, ”My child, don't always listen to others.You'd better go and try yourself.Then you'll know what to do.“Later, at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again.”Little horse, it's too

dangerous!“ ”No, I want to try myself", answered the colt.Then he crossed the river carefully.On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as deep as the squirrel told him.You see, real knowledge comes from practice.撈月One day,a little monkey is playing by the well.He looks in the well and shouts : “Oh!My god!The moon has fallen into the well!” An older monkeys runs over, takes a look,and says，“Goodness me!The moon is really in the water!” And olderly monkey comes over.He is very surprised as well and cries out: “The moon is in the well.” A group of monkeys run over to the well.They look at the moon in the well and shout: “The moon did fall into the well!Come on!Let’get it out!” Then,the oldest monkey hangs on the tree up side down ,with his feet on the branch.And he pulls the next monkey’s feet with his hands.All the other monkeys follow his suit, And they join each other one by one down to the moon in the well.Just

Sand and stone

The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert.During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the said:” Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started

drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on stone: Today my best friend saved my life.The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone.why?

The other friend replied: When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind ever erases it.Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone.They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to forget him.Send this phrase to the people you will never forget.It is a short message to let them know that you will never forget them.Take the time to live.傷害只寫在沙地上

兩個朋友在荒漠里穿行，途中他們發(fā)上了爭執(zhí)；其中一個人單了另一位一個耳光。被達的人非常傷心，但他什么也沒說，只是在沙地上寫到：“今天，我最好的朋友打了我一個耳光。”

他們繼續(xù)往前走，發(fā)現(xiàn)了一片綠洲，他們決定在那里洗個澡。結(jié)果，被打的那位陷進了泥潭，眼看就要被淹死，結(jié)果他的朋友救了他。恢復(fù)過來都他在石頭上寫到：“今天，我最好的朋友救了我的命。”

那位打他并救了他的朋友問：“為什么我傷害你時，你在沙地上寫下來，而現(xiàn)在卻在石頭上刻下來呢？”

被救的那位答到：“受到傷害時，我們應(yīng)該把他寫在沙地上，寬恕之風會將它抹平。可是受人恩惠時，我們應(yīng)該把它刻在石頭上，任何風雨也不會把它擦掉。” 學會將所受的傷害寫在沙子上，把所的的恩德刻在石頭上。有人這樣說，找到一個特別的人只需要用一分鐘，欣賞他需要用一小時，喜歡他需要用一天，但忘掉他卻需要用一生的時間。

把這句話送給那些你永遠無法忘記的人吧。這段短短的話能讓他們知道你永遠不會忘記他們。

此生不忘。

第五篇：英文短篇小故事

優(yōu)越感背后的無能

讓和他的祖父途經(jīng)巴黎一個廣場，他看到，廣場一處，一名鞋匠因為鞋子的一點小問題正被客戶百般刁難。鞋匠平靜地聽著客戶的埋怨，道了歉，保證會把問題解決。

讓和祖父在一家小酒館停下用咖啡。

在他們的鄰桌，侍者想請一位客人移一下椅子以便騰出點位置。那個男人破口大罵，拒絕挪動。

“別忘記你今天看見的，”讓的祖父說道，“鞋匠接受了批評，而我們旁邊的男人動都不肯動。”

“有用的人，做著有用的事，他們不怕被當作一無是處。”

“而無用的人經(jīng)常自以為是，將他們的無能隱藏在優(yōu)越感背后。” Jean was walking with his grandfather through a public square in Paris.At a certain point, he saw a shoemaker being mistreated by a client, whose footwear showed a flaw.The shoemaker listened calmly to the complaint and apologized, promising to correct the error.Jean and his grandfather stopped to have coffee at a bistro.At the table next to them, the waiter asked a man to move his chair a little in order to make space.That man burst into a torrent of complaints and refused to move.“Never forget what you have seen today,” Jean’s grandfather said, “the shoemaker accepted the complaint, while this man next to us didn’t want to move.“Useful men, who do useful things, don’t mind being treated as useless.“But the useless always judge themselves as being important and hide all their incompetence behind authority.”

錯誤的禮物 10 second reading: the wrong gift 我的一個朋友Miie T.——她曾是一位經(jīng)濟學家——決定拋棄一切，致力于學畫。

她用了好幾年去尋找合適的老師，直到她在西藏遇到了一位精通微型畫的女人。Miie離開日本前往西藏山區(qū)，和這位一貧如洗的老師住在了一起，學習手藝。第一年結(jié)束后，Miie回日本過了幾天，然后帶著滿滿幾箱的禮物又回到西藏。她的老師看見她帶來的東西，竟然大哭起來，并叫Miie不要再進她的家門了。她說：

“在你回日本之前，我們的關(guān)系是關(guān)愛和平等的。你的頭上有一片瓦，有足夠吃的，還能畫畫。現(xiàn)在你帶了這些禮物給我，就等于在我們之間劃分了社會階級。一旦有這個區(qū)別存在，我們之間就不會有理解和奉獻了。”

A friend of mine, Miie T.decided to abandon everything she knew — she was an economist — in order to dedicate herself to painting.For years she sought an adequate master until she met a woman who lived in Tibet and specialized in miniatures.Miie left Japan and went to the Tibetan mountains and moved in with the teacher, who was extremely poor, to learn what she needed to learn.At the end of the first year, Miie returned to Japan for a couple of days and returned to Tibet with suitcases filled with gifts.When her teacher saw what she had brought, she began to cry and asked Miie not to come back to her home, saying, “Before your trip, our relation was of equality and love.You had a roof, food and paints.“Now, as you brought me these gifts, you have established a social difference between us.“If this difference exists, there can’t be comprehension and surrendering.”

救了我命的那條魚 The fish who saved my life 有一次，納斯爾丁經(jīng)過一個山洞，看見一位瑜伽士在里面陷入沉思的樣子，就問他想弄明白什么。瑜伽士說：

“我研究動物，在它們身上學到了許多可以改變?nèi)祟愐簧牡览怼！?“有一條魚曾經(jīng)救了我的命，”納斯爾丁回答，“如果你能把知道的都教我，我就告訴你發(fā)生了什么。”

瑜伽士驚嘆不已。只有圣人才會為魚所救。他決定將將自己所知的傾囊相授給納斯爾丁。

當他結(jié)束后，他問那斯爾丁：

“現(xiàn)在我把知道的都告訴你了，如果能知道魚怎么會救你，我會感到非常榮幸。”

“很簡單，”納斯爾丁說：“抓到它的時候我已經(jīng)差點餓死了，感謝那條魚，我接下來的三天都不愁沒吃的。”

Nasrudin is walking past a cave when he sees a yogi, deep in meditation, and he asks the yogi what he is searching for.The yogi says: ?I study the animals and have learned many lessons from them that can transform a man?s life.?

?A fish once saved my life,? Nasrudin replies.?If you teach me everything you know, I will tell you how it happened.?

The Yogi is astonished;only a holy man could be saved by a fish.And he decides to teach Nasrudin everything he knows.When he has finished, he says to Nasrudin: ?Now that I have taught you everything, I would be proud to know how a fish saved your life.?

?Very simple,? says Nasrudin, ?I was almost dying of hunger when I caught it and, thanks to that fish, I had enough food for three days.?

法律與水果 The law and the fruits 在沙漠中的一個地區(qū)，水果稀缺。神叫來一位他的預(yù)言家，說：--讓每個人一天只能吃一個水果。

這條神諭被好幾代人遵守著，這塊土地的生態(tài)被保護得很好。因為剩余的水果提供了種子，其他的樹出現(xiàn)了。很快，這個地區(qū)的土壤變得肥沃，讓其他村子的人們好生羨慕。

但是這里的人們依然每天只吃一個水果 —— 他們虔誠地遵守著祖先中的預(yù)言家說過的話。然而，他們從不讓其他村子的居民分享每年的豐厚收成。

結(jié)果，很多果子都在地上爛掉了。

神又叫來一位新的預(yù)言家，說：--讓他們想吃多少水果就吃多少吧，然后請他們與他們的鄰居分享。

預(yù)言家回到村子里傳達新的神諭。但是卻被村民用石頭砸死了—— 因為流傳下來的習慣已經(jīng)在當?shù)鼐用裥闹懈畹俟獭?/p>

隨著時間的流逝，年輕的村民開始質(zhì)疑這個原始的舊習，可元老們定下的法律不可妥協(xié)。他們決定放棄信仰這種宗教。于是，他們想吃多少水果就吃多少，剩下的還被拿來分給那些需要食物的人。

唯一剩下的那些忠于當?shù)刈陟舻模悄切┳哉J是圣徒的人。但實際上，他們才是看不到世界在改變的人，更沒意識到人應(yīng)該跟著改變。

In the desert, fruit was scarce.God called one of his prophets and said:-Each person may only eat one fruit a day.The custom was obeyed for many generations, and the ecology of the place was preserved.Since the remaining fruit supplied seeds, other trees appeared.Soon, the entire region was turned into fertile soil, which was the envy of other towns.But the people continued to eat one fruit a day – they remained faithful to what the ancient prophet of their forefathers had told them.However they never allowed the inhabitants of other villages to take advantage of the abundant harvest with which they were rewarded each year.The result was that fruit rotted on the ground.God called a new prophet and said:-Let them eat as much fruit as they like.And ask them to share the abundance with their neighbors.The prophet came to the town with the new message.But he was stoned – for by now the custom was ingrained in the hearts and minds of each of the inhabitants.With time, the younger villagers began to question the barbaric old custom.But, since the tradition of the elders was unbending, they decided to abandon the religion.Thus, they could eat as much fruit as they wished, and give the rest to those in need of food.The only people who remained faithful to the local church, were those who considered themselves saints.But in truth they were unable to see how the world changes, and recognize how one must change with it.
