　　中国经典英语寓言故事阅读 篇1

　　King Hui of Liang watched the cook dissecting an ox. Up went his hand, down went the knife, cutting it just right with dexterous movements. The King praised:

　　梁惠王看厄丁解牛，手起刀落，动作利索，恰到好处，连声夸奖说

　　“Your skill is excellent!”

　　“你的技术真是太好了!”

　　The cook answered:

　　厄丁答道:

　　"1 can do it so dexterously because I am familiar with the physiological structure of the ox. I see perfectly well each and every part of the ox which is no longer a whole ox to me. I have a clear mental picture of where its joints and main and collateral channels are, and know exactly where to start cutting and how much force is needed."

　　“我所以能干得这样利索，是因为熟悉牛的生理结构。现在，我看到的牛已经不是一头全牛了:哪里是关节?哪里有经络?从哪里下刀?需要用多大的力气?我胸中有数，眼前清清楚楚。”

　　The cook continued:

　　厄丁接着说:

　　"The knives of others become blunt after being used for a short time, whereas I have used my knife for 19 years and slaughtered nearly 1,000 oxen, and it is still as sharp as a new one. However, when I come across a complicated structure, I would be cautious and conscientious and dare not be the least negligent. I cut swiftly but lightly with great concentration and care.

　　“别人的'牛刀，用不了多久就会钝掉，而我这把刀已经用了十九年，宰了上千头牛，但是还同新刀一样锋利。不过，如果碰到错综复杂的结构，我还是兢兢业业，丝毫不敢怠慢，动作很快，下刀却很轻，聚精会神，小心翼翼。”

　　After hearing this, King Hui of Liang said:

　　梁惠王听后说:

　　"What you said is wonderful!From you I have learned the way of cultivating my mind and developing my character."

　　“你说得好极了!我从你这里悟到了修身养性的道理。”

　　Handan was the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period.

　　邯郸，是战国时期赵国的'首都。

　　A young man in the State of Yan heard that the State of Zhao was more powerful than the State of Yan, so he was much interested in the State of Zhao. Consequently, he crossed over mountain after mountain by himself and got to Handan.

　　燕国有个青年听说赵国比燕国强大，对赵国很感兴趣。于是，他一个人翻山越岭，来到了邯郸。

　　Upon arrival at Handan, he felt that the State of Zhao was indeed more stable than the State of Yan. Even the way of walking of the people of the State of Zhao looked better than that of the people of the State of Yan. He made up his mind to learn how the people of the State of Zhao walked in Handan, so that in the future the people of the State of Yan could walk as gracefully as them.

　　到了邯郸，他觉得赵国确实比燕国安定，连赵国人走路的姿势都比燕国人好看。他决定在邯郸学会赵国人走路，将来让燕国人走路也能像赵国人一样好看。

　　Yet, that was easier said than done. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to learn the gait of the people of the State of Zhao. On the contrary, he even forgot completely how he walked in the State of Yan. In the end, he had no alternative but to crawl back from the State of Zhao to the State of Yan.

　　可是，说起来容易做起来难。这个青年怎么学也没有学会赵国人走路的姿势，反而连自己在燕国时如何走路也忘得干干净净。最后，池没有办法，只好爬着离开赵国回燕国去了。

　　A story is told of a king who went into his garden one morning, and found everything withered and dying.

　　这个故事是这样的：一个国王清晨走迸花园，发现所有的.草 木已经枯萎，奄奄一息了。

　　He asked the oak that stood near the gate what the trouble was.

　　于是，他问门边的橡树究竟发生了什么事。

　　He found it was sick of life and determined to die because it was not tall and beautiful like the pine.

　　原来是它们消极 厌世、一心求死，因为橡树觉得自己不如松树般高大、秀丽：

　　The pine was all out of heart because it could not bear grapes, like the vine.

　　而松树为自己不如葡萄藤那般结满丰硕的果实而沮丧：

　　The vine was going to throw its life away because it could not stand erect and have as fine fruit as the peach tree.

　　葡萄藤则为自己无法直立，并且无法像桃树那样结出上好的果实而想结束生命

　　The geranium was fretting because it was not tall and fragrant like the lilac…and so on all through the garden.

　　天竺葵也焦躁不安，因为它觉得自己不如紫丁香那样修长、 芳香……于是，整个花园都了无生气。

　　Coming to a heart's-ease, he found its bright face lifted as cheery as ever.

　　国王走到一株心安草面前，发现它仍然神采奕奕，如从前般欢乐。

　　"Well, heart's-ease, I'm glad, amidst all this discouragement, to find one brave little flower. You do not seem to be the (east disheartened."

　　¨你好，心安草，我感到非常高兴，所有的草木都对自己失去 了信心，只有你能勇敢地生活，没有丝毫气馁。¨

　　"No, I am not of much account, but I thought that if You wanted an oak, or a pine, or a vine, or a peach tree, or a geranium, or a lilac, you would have planted one; but as I knew you wanted a heart's-ease, I am determined to be the best little heart's-ease that I can.

　　¨虽然我并没有什么值得骄傲的东西，但我想，如果你想要一 棵橡树，或松树、葡萄，或桃树、天竺葵、丁香，你就会去种它 们，而我知道你想要一株心安草，所以我决心尽我所能做一株最 好的心安草。"

　　中国经典英语寓言故事阅读 篇4

　　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 mans 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。

　　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.

　　A RICH Woman having returned from abroad disembarked at the foot of Knee-deep Street, and was about to walk to her hotel through the mud.

　　"Madam," said a Policeman, "I cannot permit you to do that; you would soil your shoes and stockings."

　　"Oh, that is of no importance, really," replied the Rich Woman, with a cheerful smile.

　　"But, madam, it is needless; from the wharf to the hotel, as you observe, extends an unbroken line of prostrate newspaper men who

　　crave the honour of having you walk upon them."

　　"In that case," she said, seating herself in a doorway and unlocking her satchel, "I shall have to put on my rubber boots."

　　One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent.

　　A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back--there was nobody to hear.

　　You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his grip...... and as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well---the rock was big enough---but the whole night was a nightmare.

　　Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.

　　There is nothing to fear.

　　你可以想象一下他的处境和整晚的恐惧。死神随时都可能降临。他的手开始发凉，渐渐地抓不住了...当太阳升起的时候，他朝下看了看，笑了。下面压根就没有什么深渊。在他下方六英尺的地方有一块大石头。岩石那么大，他本可以在那儿休息一个晚上，美美的`睡上一觉，但昨晚他却在梦魇中度过。

　　恐惧只是六英尺的距离而已。接下来，到了你做决定的时候了：你是想要继续抓着树枝过梦魇一般的生活，还是更喜欢把手从树枝上松开，双脚着地？

　　真的没有什么好害怕的。

　　A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone.

　　THE Director of an Observatory, who, with a thirty-six-inch refractor, had discovered the moon, hastened to an Editor, with a four-column account of the event.

　　"How much?" said the Editor, sententiously, without looking up from s essay on the circularity of the political horizon.

　　"One hundred and sixty dollars," replied the man who had discovered the moon.

　　"Not half enough," was the Editor's comment.

　　"Generous man!" cried the Astronomer, glowing with warm and elevated sentiments, "pay me, then, what you will."

　　"Great and good friend," said the Editor, blandly, looking up from his work, "we are far asunder, it seems. The paying is to be done by you."

　　The Director of the Observatory gathered up the manuscript and went away, explaining that it needed correction; he had neglected to dotan m.
