英语小故事 篇6
Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a lion and one was a tiger. They had met when they were too young to know the difference between lions and tigers. So they did not think their friendship was at all unusual. Besides, it was a peaceful part of the mountains, possibly e to the influence of a gentle forest monk who lived nearby. He was a hermit , one who lives far away from other people.
For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly argument. The tiger said, ;Everyone knows the cold netes when the moon wanes from full to new!; The lion said, ;Where did you hear such nonsense ? Everyone knows the cold netes when the moon waxes from new to full!
The argument got stronger and stronger. Neither could convince the other. They could not reach any conclusion to resolve the growing dispute. They even started calling each other names! Fearing for their friendship, they decided to go ask the learned forest monk, who would surely know about such things.
Visiting the peaceful hermit, the lion and tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk thought for a while and then gave his answer. ;It can be cold in any phase of the moon, from new to full and back to new again. It is the wind that brings the cold, whether from west or north or east. Therefore, in a way, you are both right! And neither of you is defeated by the other. The most important thing is to live without conflict, to remain united. Unity is best by all means.
The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to still be friends.
英语小故事 篇7
IT was lovely summer weather in the country, and the golden corn, the green oats, and the haystacks piled up in the meadows looked beautiful. The stork walking about on his long red legs chattered in the Egyptian language, which he had learnt from his mother. The corn-fields and meadows were surrounded by large forests, in the midst of which were deep pools. It was, indeed, delightful to walk about in the country. In a sunny spot stood a pleasant old farm-house close by a deep river, and from the house down to the water side grew great burdock leaves, so high, that under the tallest of them a little child could stand upright. The spot was as wild as the centre of a thick wood. In this snug retreat sat a ck on her nest, watching for her young brood to hatch; she was beginning to get tired of her task, for the little ones were a long time coming out of their shells, and she seldom had any visitors. The other cks liked much better to swim about in the river than to climb the slippery banks, and sit under a burdock leaf, to have a gossip with her. At length one shell cracked, and then another, and from each egg came a living creature that lifted its head and cried, “Peep, peep.” “Quack, quack,” said the mother, and then they all quacked as well as they could, and looked about them on every side at the large green leaves. Their mother allowed them to look as much as they liked, because green is good for the eyes. “How large the world is,” said the young cks, when they found how much more room they now had than while they were inside the egg-shell. “Do you imagine this is the whole world?” asked the mother; “Wait till you have seen the garden; it stretches far beyond that to the parson’s field, but I have never ventured to such a distance. Are you all out?” she continued, rising; “No, I declare, the largest egg lies there still. I wonder how long this is to last, I am quite tired of it;” and she seated herself again on the nest.
“Well, how are you getting on?” asked an old ck, who paid her a visit.
英语小故事 篇8

One day the big bad wolf came and knocked on the first little pig's door and said, 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in.'

达蒙和皮西厄斯
A young man whose name was Pythias had done something which the tyrant Dionysius did not like. For this offence he was dragged to prison, and a day was set when he should be put to death. His home was far away, and he wanted very much to see his father and mother and friends before he died.
一个生轻人名叫皮西厄斯,做了一件暴君迪奥尼修斯不喜欢的事情。因为对暴君的冒犯,皮西厄斯被投进了监狱,还确定了被处死的日期。因为离家很远,他非常想在临死之前去看看父母和朋友们。
"Only give me leave to go home and say good-by to those whom I love," he said, "and then I will come back and give up my life."
“就让我回去辞别我爱的人吧,”他说,“然后我会回来终结我的生命。”
The tyrant laughed at him.
暴君嘲笑他。
"How can I know that you will keep your promise?" he said. "You only want to cheat
me, and save yourself."
“我怎么知道你会信守诺言?”他说。“你只想欺骗我.救你自己。”

这时一位名叫达蒙的年轻男子开口说:
"O king! Put me in prison in place of my friend Pythias, and let him go to his own country to put his affairs in order, and to bid his friends farewell. I know that he will come back as he promised, for he is a man who has never gone back on his word. But if he is not here on the day which you have set, then I will die in his stead."
“噢,国王!把我送进监狱,让我代替我的朋友皮西厄斯,让他回自己的国家,处理好事务,与他的朋友们告别吧。我知道他一定会信守诺言回来的,因为他是一个从不食言的人。但是,如果在你设定的那天,他没有回到这里,我愿替他去死。”
The tyrant was surprised that anybody should make such an offer. He at last agreed to let Pythias go, and gave orders that the young man Damon should be shut up in prison.
暴君很惊,竟然有人提出这样的请求。他终于同意让皮西厄斯回去,并下令把达蒙关进监狱。
Time passed, and by and by the day drew near which had been set for Pythias to die;and he had not come back. The tyrant ordered the jailer to keep close watch upon Darnon, and not let him escape. But Damon did not try to escape. He still had faith in the truth and honor of his friend. He said, "If Pythias does not come back in time, it will not be his fault.It will be because he is hindered against his will."
时间流逝,,日子一天天过去,离皮西厄斯的死期越来越近,而他还没有回来。暴君命令狱吏严密监视达蒙,不让他逃跑、但是达蒙并没有试图逃跑,他仍然相信他朋友的真诚和名誉。他说:“如果皮西厄斯没有按时回来,那也不是他的错,肯定是他受到了阻碍,违背了他的意愿。”
At last the day came, and then the very hour. Damon was ready to die. His trust in his friend was as firm as ever; and he said that he did not grieve at having to suffer for one whom he loved so much.
这一天最终降临,行刑的时间到了。达蒙准备接受死刑,但他对朋友的信任一如既往地坚定,他说他为一个他深爱的朋友遭受痛苦,他并不感到悲伤。
Then the jailer came to lead him to his death; but at the same moment Pythias stood in the door. He had been delayed by storms and shipwreck, and he had feared that he was too late. He greeted Damon kindly, and then gave himself into the hands of the jailer. He was happy because he thought that he had come in time, even though it was at the last moment.
狱卒准备带他去行刑台,但就在这时,皮西厄斯出现在了门口。风暴和船舶失事使他延误了行程.他害怕回来得太晚。他友好地向达蒙问候,之后把自己交到狱卒手中。他很高兴,因为他认为他准时回来了,虽然是在最后一刻。
自私的巨人
Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's garden.

It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. "How happy we are here!" they cried to each other.
这是一个可爱的大花园,长满了柔嫩的青草。草丛间到处盛开着美丽的鲜花,如繁星点点。花园里还有十二棵桃树,每到春天,粉红色和珍珠色的花朵姣美诱人,到了秋天树上果实累累。鸟儿栖息在枝头动听地唱着,孩子们都禁不住停止游戏,细心聆听。“我们在这儿多么快乐!”他们互相欢叫。
One day the Giant came back. 1-1e had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle.When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.

"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.
“你们在这儿做什么‘!”他非常粗暴地喊道,孩子们跑开了。
"My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant; "any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself." So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.
“我自己的花园就是我自己的,”巨人说道,“随便什么人都明白。除了我以外,我不允许任何人在花园里玩。”于是他在花园的四周砌起了高高的围墙,支起一块告示牌。
