英语寓言故事精选

　　第一则：Making His Mark 刻舟求剑

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?

楚国有个人坐船渡江时，他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。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。他怎么找得到宝剑呢?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。

第二则：Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It 画蛇添足

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.

古时几个人分一壶酒。他们都想独自喝完那壶酒，所以就定了一个规矩：每人在地上画一条蛇，谁画得最快，这壶酒就归谁。有一个人很快就把蛇画好了。他正打算喝这壶酒时，看见别人都还在忙着画，就决定给蛇再画上几只脚。结果，他的.蛇脚还没加完，另一个人已经把蛇画好了。那人一下把酒壶夺了过去，说："有谁见过长脚的蛇?"。这个故事告诉我们这样的道理：做得过分和做得不够都是不对的。

第三则：A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

中国寓言故事：狐假虎威

有一天，一只老虎正在深山老林里转悠，突然发现了一只狐狸，便迅速抓住了它，心想今天的.午餐又可以美美地享受一顿了。

狐狸生性狡猾，它知道今天被老虎逮住以后，前景一定不妙，于是就编出一个谎言，对老虎说：“我是天帝派到山林中来当百兽之王的，你要是吃了我，天帝是不会饶恕你的。”

老虎对狐狸的话将信将疑，便问：“你当百兽之王，有何证据?”狐狸赶紧说：“你如果不相信我的话，可以随我到山林中去走一走，我让你亲眼看看百兽对我望而生畏的样子。”

老虎想这倒也是个办法，于是就让狐狸在前面带路，自己尾随其后，一道向山林的深处走去。

森林中的野兔、山羊、花鹿、黑熊等各种兽类远远地看见老虎来了，一个个都吓得魂飞魄散，纷纷夺路逃命。

转了一圈之后，狐狸洋洋得意地对老虎说道：“现在你该看到了吧?森林中的百兽，有谁敢不怕我?”

老虎并不知道百兽害怕的正是它自己，反而因此相信了狐狸的谎言。狐狸不仅躲过了被吃的厄运，而且还在百兽面前大抖了一回威风。对于那些像狐狸一样仗势欺人的人，我们应当学会识破他们的伎俩。
