㈡ 英文故事有哪些呢

英文故事有如下：

1、A PIGEON（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.

Moral：Zeal should not outrun discretion.

翻譯：一隻鴿子口渴緩森得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一隻水杯。她並不以為那隻是一幅畫，而是發出一聲響亮的呼嚕聲，朝畫飛去，無意中撞在了招牌上，把自己撞得很不穩。她的翅膀被風吹斷了，摔在地上，被一個旁觀者抓住。

2、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.

Moral：Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

翻譯：一隻烏鴉看到了一隻天鵝，想要得到同樣美麗的羽毛。假如天鵝的美麗的白色是由於它在水裡游泳時洗過澡而產生的，那麼烏鴉就離開它生活的地方，到湖手沖里和水潭畢哪殲里去住下來。但是，盡管他經常清洗自己的羽毛，卻無法改變它們的顏色，而由於缺乏食物，他就死了。

3、The Bat and the Weasels（蝙蝠與黃鼠狼）

Abat who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free.

Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice.

The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

Moral：It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

翻譯：一隻蝙蝠墜落到地上，被黃鼠狼叼去，他請求饒命。黃鼠狼拒絕了，說他生來就是鳥類的天敵。蝙蝠向他保證他不是一隻鳥，而是一隻老鼠，於是就被放了出來。

不一會兒，蝙蝠又掉到地上，被另一隻黃鼠狼捉住了，他請求討饒。黃鼠狼說他特別恨老鼠。蝙蝠向他保證自己不是老鼠，而是一隻蝙蝠，因此第二次逃走了。

4、The Ass and the Grasshopper（驢子與蚱蜢）

An ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices.

They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.

Moral：People should not expect anything out of proportion.

翻譯：驢子聽見蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙動聽的歌聲所打動，自己也想能發出同樣悅耳動聽的聲音，便羨慕地問他們吃些什麼，才能發出如此美妙的聲音來。蚱蜢答道：「吃露水。」驢子便也只吃露水，沒多久就餓死了。

5、The Dog and the Shadow（狗和影子）

It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath.

Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

Moral：Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

翻譯：一隻狗嘴裡銜著一塊肉，走過一條河上面的橋，看見他自己在水裡的影子，以為是另一隻狗，那時狗銜著的肉，比他自己的還要大一倍。

因此他仍掉自己的那一塊，狠狠地撲向那隻狗，想奪到那一塊較大的肉。結果兩頭都落了空，因為他想要抓取在水中的那一塊，只不過是一個影子，而原來的那一塊，也被水沖走了。
