The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
【譯文】
老貓
一位老婦有隻貓,這只貓很老,它跑不快了,也咬不了東西,因為它年紀太大了。一天,老貓發現一隻老鼠,它跳過去抓這只老鼠,然而,它咬不住這只老鼠。因此,老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了,因為老貓咬不了它。
於是,老婦很生氣,因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓,貓說:「不要打你的老僕人,我已經為你服務了很多年,而且還願意為你效勞,但是,我實在太老了,對年紀大的不要這么無情,要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」
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 st.
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 st and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【譯文】
一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去,當他沿著路走時,在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果,他說:「我不打算吃那些蘋果,因為富人會給我更多的食物,他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果,一把扔到土裡去。
他繼續走,來到河邊,河漲水了,因此,他到不了河對岸,他等了一會兒,然後他說:「今天我去不了富人家了,因為我不能渡過河。」
他開始回家,那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的,他找到蘋果,很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。
不要把好東西扔掉,換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
【譯文】
城裡老鼠和鄉下老鼠
從前,有兩只老鼠,它們是好朋友。一隻老鼠居住在鄉村,另一隻住在城裡。很多年以後,鄉下老鼠碰到城裡老鼠,它說:「你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。」於是,城裡老鼠就去了。鄉下老鼠領著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家裡。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城裡老鼠。城裡老鼠說:「這東西不好吃,你的家也不好,你為什麼住在田野的地洞里呢?你應該搬到城裡去住,你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子,還會吃上美味佳餚,你應該到我城裡的家看看。」
鄉下老鼠就到城裡老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮,好吃的東西也為他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候,聽見很大的一陣響聲,城裡的老鼠叫喊起來:「快跑!快跑!貓來了!」他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。
過了一會兒,他們出來了。當他們出來時,鄉下老鼠說:「我不喜歡住在城裡,我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因為這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在,比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說,要好些。」

Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"
"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.
"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"

「她是個賣糖果的。」
Drunk

Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"

⑵ 幫我寫一個英語小故事,簡單一些,,不要太長,,稍短些,是小學的噢!拜託了,,我很需要
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.
有隻鴿子口渴得很難受,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,有些人想急於得到所需的東西,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。於是,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,反而因缺少食物飢餓而死。
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裡。有一隻山羊不知在吃什麼好東西,單獨落在後面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去,正巧打斷了山羊的一隻角。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,並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,趁他走後,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,問明原因後, 說道:「喂,朋友,別再難過了,那塊金子雖是你買來的,但並不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來,代替金塊放在洞里,只要你心裡想著那是塊金子,你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什麼不同。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於沒有。
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.
一隻小羊在河邊喝水,狼見到後,便想找一個名正言順的借口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游,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,並且又在下游,根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成,又說道:「我父親去年被你罵過。」小羊說,那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說:「不管你怎樣辯解,反正我不會放過 你。」
這說明,對惡人做任何正當的辯解也是無效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠與黃鼠狼
A BAT 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.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上,被黃鼠狼叼去,他請求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會放過他,自己生來痛恨鳥類。蝙蝠說他是老鼠,不是鳥,便被放了。後來蝙蝠又掉落了下來,被另一隻黃鼠狼叼住,他再三請求不要吃他。這只黃鼠狼說他恨一切鼠類。蝙蝠改口說自己是鳥類,並非老 鼠,又被放了。這樣,蝙蝠兩次改變了自己的名字,終於死裡逃生。
這故事說明,我們遇事要隨機應變方能避免危險。
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.
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。
這個故事告訴人們不要企望非份之物。
The Lion and the Mouse 獅子與報恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, 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 and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
獅子睡著了,有隻老鼠跳到了他身上。獅子猛然站起來,把他抓住,准備吃掉。老鼠請求饒命,並說如果保住性命,必將報恩,獅子輕蔑地笑了笑,便把他放走了。不久,獅子真的被老鼠救了性命。原來獅子被一個獵人抓獲,並用繩索把他捆在一棵樹上。老鼠聽到了他 的哀嚎,走過去咬斷繩索,放走了獅子,並說:
「你當時嘲笑我,不相信能得到我的報答, 現在可清楚了,老鼠也能報恩。」 這故事說明,時運交替變更,強者也會有需要弱者的時候。

英語寓言小故事
Making His Mark 「刻舟求劍」

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?

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.

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
