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。

多給你寫一些,希望能夠對你有一些幫助!!Making His Mark “刻舟求劍” A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?楚國有個人坐船渡江時,他不小心把自己的一把寶劍掉落江中。
他馬上掏出一把小刀,在寶劍落水的船舷上刻上一個記號。船靠岸后,那楚人立即從船上刻記號的地方跳下水去撈取掉落的寶劍。
他怎么找得到寶劍呢?船繼續行駛,而寶劍卻不會再移動。像他這樣去找劍,真是太愚蠢可笑了。
To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow “拔苗助長” Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldn't wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.從前,有個農夫,種了稻苗(seedlings)后,便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田時,都發覺那些稻苗長得非常慢。

第二天,一早起身,他迫不及待地去稻田看他的“成果”。 哪知,卻看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。
Plugging One's Ears While Stealing a Bell “掩耳盜鈴” Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor's doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people's attention as long as he touched the bell. So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever “idea”. He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell. Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief.從前,有一個人想偷鄰居門上的鈴,但是他知道一碰到鈴,鈴就會響起來,被人發現。他想啊想,終于他想出一個“妙極”,他把自己的耳朵用東西塞起來,就聽不見鈴聲了。

At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow's beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.有一天,一只烏鴉站在窩旁的樹枝上嘴里叼著一片肉,心里非常高興。這時候,一只狐貍看見了烏鴉,饞得直流口水,非常想得到那片肉。
但是,無論狐貍說什么,烏鴉就是不理睬狐貍。最后,狐貍贊美烏鴉的嗓音最優美,并要求烏鴉唱幾句讓他欣賞欣賞。
烏鴉聽了狐貍贊美的話,得意極了,就唱起歌來。沒想到,肉一掉下來,狐貍就叼起肉,鉆回了洞 Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It “畫蛇添足” Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?” The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It.” tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough. 古時幾個人分一壺酒。
他們都想獨自喝完那壺酒,所以就定了一個規矩:每人在地上畫一條蛇,誰畫得最快,這壺酒就歸誰。有一個人很快就把蛇畫好了。
他正打算喝這壺酒時,看見別人都還在忙著畫,就決定給蛇再畫上幾只腳。結果,他的蛇腳還沒加完,另一個人已經把蛇畫好了。
那人一下把酒壺奪了過去,說:“有誰見過長腳的蛇?”。這個故事告訴我們這樣的道理:做得過分和做得不夠都是不對的。

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,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,發現洞中的金塊沒有了,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。
10.簡單點的英語寓言故事帶翻譯
THE LION AND THE MOUSE
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, 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 up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to
receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.”
1.獅和鼠
一只老鼠從一只獅子面前跑過去,將它從夢中吵醒。
獅子生氣地跳起來,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求說:「只要你肯饒恕我這條小生命,我將來一定會報答你的大恩。」獅子便笑著放了它。
后來獅子被幾個獵人捉住,用粗繩捆綁倒在地上。老鼠聽出是獅子的吼聲,走來用牙齒咬斷繩索,釋放了它,并大聲說:「你當時嘲笑我想幫你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么機會
報答。但是你現在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向獅子效勞的。」
