短英语寓言
一、公鸡与野鸡
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、翻译
有个人在家里喂养了些公鸡。有一天，他在市场上遇见了一只驯化的野鸡，便买下带回家来，与公鸡关养在一起。那些公鸡都追啄他，野鸡原以为他是外来的关系，才遭受欺负。
过了几天后，他见到那些公鸡相互斗架，彼此斗得头破血流，还不肯停下来。于是，他自言自语地说：“现在，我再不怨恨被他们所欺了，因为我亲眼看到他们自己也不能互相宽容。”
这故事说明，聪明的人若看见邻里与家人还不能互相宽容，那他们得不到这些人的宽容就不足为奇了。
二、狼与狮子
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、翻译
有一次，狼从羊群中抢走一只羊，正叼着羊往回走，碰上了狮子。狮子立刻从狼口里抢走羊。狼远远地站着，自言自语地说：“你抢我的东西太不正当了。”那狮子笑着说：“那么，这东西是朋友正当地赠送给你的吗?”
这故事是说，窃贼和强盗都是一丘之貉，没有好坏之分。
三、铁匠与小狗
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、翻译
铁匠家有一条狗，他打铁时，狗就睡觉，吃饭时狗便立刻跑到铁匠的身旁摇头摆尾，讨好主人。
铁匠扔给狗一块骨头，并说道：“你这家伙，总是贪睡。为什么那沉重的打铁声丝毫没影响你的睡眠，而我们吃饭时轻微的响动声却使你惊醒?”
这故事是说，那些唯利是图的人，对于自己有利的事专心致志，对自己无利的事则不闻不问。
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、翻译
几个孩子在水潭边玩耍，看见水中有许多青蛙，便用石头去打他们。几只青蛙被他们打死了。
这时，一只青蛙从水中伸出头来说：“孩子们，请你们不要再打了。这对于你们来说是在做游戏，而对于我们却有性命之忧啊。”
这是说，不要把自己的快乐建筑在别人的痛苦上。
五、青蛙庸医
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、翻译
一只青蛙从洼地里潮湿的家蹦了出来，大声对所有的野兽宣称：“我是一个医术高明、能治百病、博学多才的医生！”
一只狐狸问他：“你连自己跛足的姿势和起皱的皮都不能治，怎么还吹牛说能给别人治病呢？”
这故事是说判断人们的知识和才能需要听其言，观其行，不要被他的花言巧语所迷惑。

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

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."

service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did
not make the slightest use of it."

刻舟求剑
战国时，楚国有个人坐船渡江。船到江心，他一不小心。把随身携带的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在船舷上刻上一个记号，说：“这是我宝剑落水的地方，所以我要刻上一个记号。”
船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。捞了半天，仍不见宝剑的影子。其实他又怎么找得到宝剑呢？船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，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." 一只狼快要饿死了,一只狗看见后问他：“你现在的无规律的生活一定会毁掉你,为什么不像我一样稳定地干活并有规律地获得食物呢?” 狼说：“如果我有个地方住,我没有意见.”狗回答说：“跟我到主人那里去,我们一起工作.”于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没有毛,他很奇怪地问为什么会那样. “噢,没有什么,”狗说,“我的主人每天晚上都用一条铁链子拴住我,你很快就会习惯的.”“就是因为这个原因吗?”狼说道,“那么,再见了,我的朋友,我宁愿选择自由.”
