短英語寓言
一、公雞與野雞
1、英文
A man raised some cocks at home. One day, he met a domesticated pheasant in the market. He bought it and brought it home, and raised it with the rooster.
The cocks all pecked him, and the pheasants thought he was a foreign relationship before they were bullied.
A few days later, he saw the cocks fighting with each other, their heads were broken, and they refused to stop.
So he said to himself, "Now, I don't resent being deceived by them anymore, because I see with my own eyes that they themselves can't tolerate each other."
This story shows that it's not surprising that smart people can't get tolerance from their neighbors and family members if they see that they can't tolerate each other.
2、翻譯
有個人在家裡喂養了些公雞。有一天，他在市場上遇見了一隻馴化的野雞，便買下帶回家來，與公雞關養在一起。那些公雞都追啄他，野雞原以為他是外來的關系，才遭受欺負。
過了幾天後，他見到那些公雞相互斗架，彼此斗得頭破血流，還不肯停下來。於是，他自言自語地說：「現在，我再不怨恨被他們所欺了，因為我親眼看到他們自己也不能互相寬容。」
這故事說明，聰明的人若看見鄰里與家人還不能互相寬容，那他們得不到這些人的寬容就不足為奇了。
二、狼與獅子
1、英文
Once, the wolf snatched a sheep from the flock and was walking back with the sheep in his mouth when he met the lion.
The lion immediately snatched the sheep from the wolf's mouth. The wolf stood far away and said to himself, "It's wrong of you to rob me of something."
The lion laughed and said, "So, is this something that a friend has rightly given you?"
The story is that thieves and robbers are the same raccoon. There is no difference between good and bad.
2、翻譯
有一次，狼從羊群中搶走一隻羊，正叼著羊往回走，碰上了獅子。獅子立刻從狼口裡搶走羊。狼遠遠地站著，自言自語地說：「你搶我的東西太不正當了。」那獅子笑著說：「那麼，這東西是朋友正當地贈送給你的嗎?」
這故事是說，竊賊和強盜都是一丘之貉，沒有好壞之分。
三、鐵匠與小狗
1、英文
There is a dog in the blacksmith's house. When he hits the iron, the dog sleeps. When he eats, the dog immediately runs to the blacksmith and shakes his head and tail to please his master.
The blacksmith threw a bone to the dog and said, "You fellow, you are always sleepy. Why doesn't that heavy thump of iron affect your sleep at all, while the slight noise of our meals wakes you up?
The story is that those who are profit-seeking devote themselves to what is good for them and turn a deaf ear to what is bad for them.
2、翻譯
鐵匠家有一條狗，他打鐵時，狗就睡覺，吃飯時狗便立刻跑到鐵匠的身旁搖頭擺尾，討好主人。
鐵匠扔給狗一塊骨頭，並說道：「你這傢伙，總是貪睡。為什麼那沉重的打鐵聲絲毫沒影響你的睡眠，而我們吃飯時輕微的響動聲卻使你驚醒?」
這故事是說，那些唯利是圖的人，對於自己有利的事專心致志，對自己無利的事則不聞不問。
四、孩子和青蛙
1、英文
Several children were playing by the pool. When they saw many frogs in the water, they hit them with stones. Several frogs were killed by them.
Then a frog put his head out of the water and said, "Kids, please don't fight any more. It's a game for you, but a life-threatening worry for us.
That is to say, don't build your happiness on the pain of others.
2、翻譯
幾個孩子在水潭邊玩耍，看見水中有許多青蛙，便用石頭去打他們。幾只青蛙被他們打死了。
這時，一隻青蛙從水中伸出頭來說：「孩子們，請你們不要再打了。這對於你們來說是在做游戲，而對於我們卻有性命之憂啊。」
這是說，不要把自己的快樂建築在別人的痛苦上。
五、青蛙庸醫
1、英文
A frog jumped out of his wet home in the depression and declared loudly to all the beasts, "I am a doctor who is skilled, able to cure all diseases and knowledgeable!"
A fox asked him, "You can't even cure your lame posture and wrinkled skin. How can you boast that you can cure someone else?"
The story is that judging people's knowledge and abilities requires listening to their words, watching their actions, and not being confused by their rhetoric.
2、翻譯
一隻青蛙從窪地里潮濕的家蹦了出來，大聲對所有的野獸宣稱：「我是一個醫術高明、能治百病、博學多才的醫生！」
一隻狐狸問他：「你連自己跛足的姿勢和起皺的皮都不能治，怎麼還吹牛說能給別人治病呢？」
這故事是說判斷人們的知識和才能需要聽其言，觀其行，不要被他的花言巧語所迷惑。

The Ant and the Grasshopper
In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for the days of necessity
The Bear and the Two Travelers
TWO men were traveling together, when a Bear suddenly met them on their path.
One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be killed, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his nose, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and showed the appearance of death as much as he could.
The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler climbed from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the Bear had said in his ear. "He gave me this advice," his friend answered. "Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the coming of danger. Remember: A friend in need is a friend indeed."
Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends
The Fisherman and the Little Fish
A fisherman who lived on the proce of his nets, one day caught a single small Fish as the result of his day's labor. The Fish, panting convulsively, thus entreated for his life: "O Sir, what can I be to you, and how little am I worth? I am not yet come to my full size. Pray spare my life, and put me back into the sea. I shall soon become a large fish fit for the tables of
the rich, and then you can catch me again, and make a handsome profit of me." The Fisherman replied, "I should indeed be a very simple fellow if, for the chance of a greater uncertain profit, I were to forego my present certain gain."
The Cat and the Mice
A CERTAIN HOUSE was overrun with Mice. A Cat, discovering this, made her way into it and began to catch and eat them one by one.
Fearing for their lives, the Mice kept themselves close in their holes. The Cat was no longer able to get at them and perceived that she must tempt them forth by some device. For this purpose she jumped upon a peg, and suspending herself from it, pretended to be dead. One of the Mice, peeping stealthily out, saw her and said, "Ah, my good madam, even though you should turn into a meal-bag, we will not come near you." He who is once deceived is doubly cautious
The Cock and the Pearl
A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw.
"Ho! ho!" quoth he, "that's for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard?
"You may be a treasure," quoth Master Cock, "to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls."
Precious things are for those that can prize them.
The Farmer and the Snake

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.

their color, while through want of food he perished.

though I be silent."

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

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 lamentation
s. 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."

刻舟求劍
戰國時，楚國有個人坐船渡江。船到江心，他一不小心。把隨身攜帶的一把寶劍掉落江中。他馬上掏出一把小刀，在船舷上刻上一個記號，說：「這是我寶劍落水的地方，所以我要刻上一個記號。」
船靠岸後，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。撈了半天，仍不見寶劍的影子。其實他又怎麼找得到寶劍呢？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。
A man from the state of Chu was crossing a river. In the boat, his sword fell into the water. Immediately he made a mark on the boat.
"This is where my sword fell off," he said.
When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to look for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.
The boat had moved but the sword had not. Is this not a very foolish way to look for a sword?

A wolf was almost dead with hunger. A house-dog saw him, and asked, "Friend, your irregular life will soon ruin you. "Why don't you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly?" "I would have no objection," said the wolf, "if I could only get a place." "I will help you," said the dog. "Come with me to my master, and you shall share my work." So the wolf and the dog went to the town together. On the way the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog's neck. He felt quite surprised, and asked him why it was like that? "Oh, it is nothing," said the dog. "Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up. You will soon get used to it." "Is that the only reason?" said the wolf. "Then good-bye to you, my friend. I would rather be free." 一隻狼快要餓死了,一隻狗看見後問他：「你現在的無規律的生活一定會毀掉你,為什麼不像我一樣穩定地幹活並有規律地獲得食物呢?」 狼說：「如果我有個地方住,我沒有意見.」狗回答說：「跟我到主人那裡去,我們一起工作.」於是狼和狗一起回到了村子. 在路上,狼注意到狗的脖子上有一圈沒有毛,他很奇怪地問為什麼會那樣. 「噢,沒有什麼,」狗說,「我的主人每天晚上都用一條鐵鏈子拴住我,你很快就會習慣的.」「就是因為這個原因嗎?」狼說道,「那麼,再見了,我的朋友,我寧願選擇自由.」
