The horse and the ass

A horse and an ass were traveling together.The horse was prancing along in its beautiful trappings, but the ass was carrying the heavy weight in its saddlebags.“I wish I were you,” sighed the ass.“You have nothing to do, and wear such a beautiful harness.”

The next day there was a great battle.The horse was badly wounded in the final charge.The ass passed and saw the dying horse.“I was wrong,” said the ass.“Safety is much more important than beautiful clothes.”

馬和驢

●“我多希望我是你，”驢感嘆道，“你什么也不用做，卻佩帶這么漂亮的馬具。”

●后來爆發(fā)了一場戰(zhàn)爭，馬在最后的沖鋒中不幸身受重傷。

●驢從將要死去的馬身邊經(jīng)過。“我錯了，”驢說，“安全比漂亮的衣服更重要。”

寓意: 不要隨便羨慕別人，各人都有自己的生活，都有自己的幸福與不幸。

The fox without a tail

A fox's tail was caught in a trap.When he was trying to release himself, he lost his whole tail except the stump.At first he was ashamed to see the other foxes because he had no tail, but he was determined to face his misfortune.He called all the foxes to a meeting.When they had gotten together, the fox said that they should all do away with their tails.He said that their tails were very inconvenient when they met with their enemies.He did not talk about any advantages of the tail.“You are right,” said one of the older foxes, “but I don’t think you would advise us to do away with our tails if you hadn't lost it yourself first.”

●蝙蝠說：“你現(xiàn)在才懂得謹慎已沒用了，你若在變?yōu)榍敉街熬投茫窃摱嗪醚剑　闭f完就飛走了。寓意: 我們應該在危險發(fā)生之前就提高警覺，因為危險一旦發(fā)生，我們再怎樣小心也沒有用了。

The ass and his purchaser

A man wanted to buy an ass.He went to the market, and saw a likely one.But he wanted to test him first.So he took the ass home, and put him into the stable with the other asses.The new ass looked around, and immediately went to choose a place next to the laziest ass in the stable.When the man saw this he put a halter on the ass at once, and gave him back to his owner.The owner felt quite surprised.He asked the man, “Why are you back so soon? Have you tested him already?” “I don't want to test him any more,” replied the man, “From the companion he chose for himself, I could see what sort of animal he is.”驢和買驢的人

●一個買主到市場上去買驢，他看中一頭外表不錯的驢，但是他想要牽走試一試。

●賣主感到很奇怪，他問買主：“你怎么這么快就回來了？”買主說：“不必再試了，從他所選擇什么樣的朋友來看，我已經(jīng)知道他是什么樣了。”

寓意: 物以類聚，人以群分。人們往往喜歡跟與自己相同的人交往，所以，我們可以根據(jù)一個人的朋友來推斷他的為人。

第二篇：英語寓言故事

英語寓言故事一：The one-eyed doe一只眼睛的母鹿

A doe had lost one of her eyes, and could not see anyone approaching her from one side.In order to avoid any danger, she always ate on a high cliff near the sea, and looked at the land with her good eye when she was eating.By this means she could see whenever the hunters approached her on land.But one hunter found out that she was blind in one eye.He rowed a boat under the cliff, and shot her from the sea.一只眼睛的母鹿

有頭瞎了一只眼睛的母鹿，沒有辦法看到從瞎了的那只眼的方向靠近她的東西。

為了躲避危險，(范文網(wǎng) www.tmdps.cn)她總是在海邊的一處高崖上吃草。在她吃東西的時候，她用那只好的眼睛注視著陸地。

用這種方法，她防備來自陸地上的獵人的襲擊。

但是一個獵人發(fā)現(xiàn)她的一只眼睛是瞎的，就劃著船從海上將她射殺了。

寓意： 人們常常對容易預見的危險嚴加防范，卻忽視自認為很安全的方面。

英語寓言故事二：鴿子和螞蟻

An ant was drinking at a river.Suddenly he slipped, and fell into the water.A dove took pity on him.She threw a small branch into the river.The ant seized the bough, and swam back to the shore.A few days later, the ant saw a hunter aiming a gun at the dove.He bit the man in the foot sharply.The man missed the shot, and the dove's life was saved.The dove felt very grateful.She made good friends with the ant.鴿子和螞蟻

一只螞蟻到河邊飲水，卻不幸掉入河中。

一只鴿子看見，扔下一段樹枝，將他救起。

過了不久，螞蟻看見獵人正在拿槍瞄準鴿子，就狠狠地朝他腳上咬了一口，沒讓他打中。

鴿子非常感激螞蟻。從此，他們成了好朋友。

這個寓言故事告訴我們：有些朋友也許平時看似微不足道，但卻有可能在我們身處困境的時候提供巨大的幫助。聽完小故事，小朋友們也應該多多學會講故事。

英語寓言故事三：一顆小蘋果樹

A man walking in the night slipped from a rock.Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock.In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss.He shouted, his own shout reflected back--there was nobody to hear.You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare.Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his grip?? and as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed.There was no abyss.Just six inches down there was a rock.He could have rested the whole night, slept well---the rock was big enough---but the whole night was a nightmare.Fear is only six inches deep.Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.There is nothing to fear.一個人在趕夜路時，突然從巖石上跌了下去，嚇得他趕緊抓住了巖石上的樹枝，因為他知道這一帶有個深谷，一不小心就會跌入上千英尺的深淵。一晚上，他唯一能看到的就是深不見底的峽谷。他大呼救命，但只聽到了自己的回音---沒有人能聽到他呼救。

你可以想象一下他的處境和整晚的恐懼。死神隨時都可能降臨。他的手開始發(fā)涼，漸漸地抓不住了?當太陽升起的時候，他朝下看了看，笑了。下面壓根就沒有什么深淵。在他下方六英尺的地方有一塊大石頭。巖石那么大，他本可以在那兒休息一個晚上，美美的睡上一覺，但昨晚他卻在夢魘中度過。

恐懼只是六英尺的距離而已。接下來，到了你做決定的時候了：你是想要繼續(xù)抓著樹枝過夢魘一般的生活，還是更喜歡把手從樹枝上松開，雙腳著地？

真的沒有什么好害怕的。經(jīng)典英文勵志寓言故事：小紅帽

There is a wolf.He is very hungry and has no strength to find food.As he lies under a large tree, a dog sees him.The dog sees the wolf is so thin and hungry, and he feels sorry for him and says, “You are so terrible!Are you hungry?”

“Yes,” says the wolf, “I’m hungry because you are guarding the sheep.Now I am so weak that I can’t find food.I think I will do.”

“Why not help me?” Asks the dog, “I work regularly and I eat regularly.You could do the same.You can help me guard the sleep.In that way, I will not worry about your stealing the sleep, and you will not worry about going hungry.It’s good for us.The wolf thinks it over and thinks the dog is right.So they walk to the dog’s house.As they are walking, the wolf sees that only the hair of the dog’s neck is very thin.He is curious about this.So he asks the dog about it.“Oh, don’t worry about that,” says the dog, “It’s the place where the collar ties on the neck.My master chains me up at night,”

“Chained up!” shouts the wolf, “Do you mean that you are chained up at night? If I come to live with you, will I be chained up at night, too?”

“That’s night,” says the dog, “But, you’ll get used to it.”

“But, if I am chained up, I won’t be free.” After saying this, the wolf turns round and runs away.The dog shouts, “Wait!Come back!I’m not free, but I’m healthy.I have good food, and a warm place to sleep.I like enjoying life.In fact, I’m freer than you are.”

狼和狗

有一只狼，他非常餓，而且餓得沒有力氣去找吃的了。當他躺在一棵大樹下時，一只狗看見了他。看到狼又餓又瘦，狗挺可憐他的：“你看上去真可怕。你很餓啊?“

“是的。”狼說，“我餓是因為你和你的伙伴看守著羊群。現(xiàn)在我弱得沒法去找食物。我想我就快要死了。”

“為什么不幫我呢?”狗說，“我們按時工作，準時吃飯。你也行的。你可以幫我看羊群。那樣我就不用擔心你會來偷羊，你也不用擔心挨餓了。這對我們都有好處。”

狼考慮了一下，覺得狗說的對，他們就一起朝狗的屋子走去了。正走著，狼看見口脖子上的毛很少。他覺得好奇，就問狗怎么回事。

“啊，別擔心，”狗說，“這是系狗項圈的地方，晚上主人會把我拴起來。”

“拴起來?”狼叫起來，“你是說晚上你會拴起來?如果我去和你住，晚上也會被拴起來?”

“沒錯，”狗說，“但是你會習慣的。”

“但是，如果被拴起來，我就不自由了。”說完，狼轉(zhuǎn)身跑了。

狗大聲喊道：“等等!回來!我是不自由，可是我很健康，我有好的食物，有個溫暖的地方睡覺。你太喜歡享受生活了。我其實比你還自由些。”

“水!太好了!”狗叫著跑過去。他想也沒想就跳下井去了。

井水真的不錯。狗可高興了。喝了許多水，但是他沒有辦法跳出來了。他等了好久，但是沒有人來。“我餓了，我得出去。”他想著。

這時候一只口渴的山羊到井邊來了，他看了看井水和這只狗。“這水好和嗎?”山羊問狗：“當然了。快下來吧。“狗回答說。于是山羊也跳到井里了。狗高興極了。他跳上山羊的背，又跳出了水井。

狗看了一眼山羊說聲：“再見。”就跑開了。Aesop's Fables The Goose with the Golden Eggs

One day a countryman going to the nest of his goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering.When he picked it up it was very heavy and he was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played on him.But he decided to take it home and soon discovered that it was an egg of pure gold.Every morning the same thing occurred, and he grew rich by selling his eggs.As he grew rich he grew greedy;and thinking to get all the gold the goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find nothing.Don't forget--it isn't good to be greedy!Aesop's Fables The Bulls and the Lion

A lion had been watching three bulls feeding in an open field.He had tried to attack them several times, but they kept together and helped each other to drive him off.The lion had little hope of eating them, for he was no match for three strong bulls with their sharp horns and hoofs.But he could not keep away from that field, for it is hard to resist watching a good meal, even when there is little chance of getting it.Then one day the bulls had a fight.When the hungry lion came to lick his chops and watch them as he did each day, he found them in separate corners of the field, as far away from one another as they could get.It was now an easy matter for the lion to attack the bulls one at a time.Don't forget: we fall!

united we stand, divided

第三篇：英語寓言故事

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.When he arrived, he

hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging（搖擺，饒舌）as fast as it could.To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly.As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place.I will come back and visit it often.”

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house.He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled（咆哮）at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”

All the faces in the world are mirrors.What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
