中國(guó)經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)寓言故事閱讀 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,動(dòng)作利索,恰到好處,連聲夸獎(jiǎng)?wù)f
“Your skill is excellent!”
“你的技術(shù)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."
“我所以能干得這樣利索,是因?yàn)槭煜づ5纳斫Y(jié)構(gòu),F(xiàn)在,我看到的牛已經(jīng)不是一頭全牛了:哪里是關(guān)節(jié)?哪里有經(jīng)絡(luò)?從哪里下刀?需要用多大的力氣?我胸中有數(shù),眼前清清楚楚!
The cook continued:
厄丁接著說(shuō):
"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.
“別人的'牛刀,用不了多久就會(huì)鈍掉,而我這把刀已經(jīng)用了十九年,宰了上千頭牛,但是還同新刀一樣鋒利。不過(guò),如果碰到錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的結(jié)構(gòu),我還是兢兢業(yè)業(yè),絲毫不敢怠慢,動(dòng)作很快,下刀卻很輕,聚精會(huì)神,小心翼翼!
After hearing this, King Hui of Liang said:
梁惠王聽后說(shuō):
"What you said is wonderful!From you I have learned the way of cultivating my mind and developing my character."
“你說(shuō)得好極了!我從你這里悟到了修身養(yǎng)性的道理!
中國(guó)經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)寓言故事閱讀 篇2
Handan was the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period.
邯鄲,是戰(zhàn)國(guó)時(shí)期趙國(guó)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.
燕國(guó)有個(gè)青年聽說(shuō)趙國(guó)比燕國(guó)強(qiáng)大,對(duì)趙國(guó)很感興趣。于是,他一個(gè)人翻山越嶺,來(lái)到了邯鄲。
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.
到了邯鄲,他覺(jué)得趙國(guó)確實(shí)比燕國(guó)安定,連趙國(guó)人走路的姿勢(shì)都比燕國(guó)人好看。他決定在邯鄲學(xué)會(huì)趙國(guó)人走路,將來(lái)讓燕國(guó)人走路也能像趙國(guó)人一樣好看。
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,說(shuō)起來(lái)容易做起來(lái)難。這個(gè)青年怎么學(xué)也沒(méi)有學(xué)會(huì)趙國(guó)人走路的姿勢(shì),反而連自己在燕國(guó)時(shí)如何走路也忘得干干凈凈。最后,池沒(méi)有辦法,只好爬著離開趙國(guó)回燕國(guó)去了。
中國(guó)經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)寓言故事閱讀 篇3
A story is told of a king who went into his garden one morning, and found everything withered and dying.
這個(gè)故事是這樣的:一個(gè)國(guó)王清晨走迸花園,發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的.草 木已經(jīng)枯萎,奄奄一息了。
He asked the oak that stood near the gate what the trouble was.
于是,他問(wèn)門邊的橡樹究竟發(fā)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.
原來(lái)是它們消極 厭世、一心求死,因?yàn)橄饦溆X(jué)得自己不如松樹般高大、秀麗:
The pine was all out of heart because it could not bear grapes, like the vine.
而松樹為自己不如葡萄藤那般結(jié)滿豐碩的果實(shí)而沮喪:
The vine was going to throw its life away because it could not stand erect and have as fine fruit as the peach tree.
葡萄藤則為自己無(wú)法直立,并且無(wú)法像桃樹那樣結(jié)出上好的果實(shí)而想結(jié)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?yàn)樗X(jué)得自己不如紫丁香那樣修長(zhǎng)、 芳香……于是,整個(gè)花園都了無(wú)生氣。
Coming to a heart's-ease, he found its bright face lifted as cheery as ever.
國(guó)王走到一株心安草面前,發(fā)現(xiàn)它仍然神采奕奕,如從前般歡樂(lè)。
"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,我感到非常高興,所有的草木都對(duì)自己失去 了信心,只有你能勇敢地生活,沒(méi)有絲毫氣餒!
"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.
¨雖然我并沒(méi)有什么值得驕傲的東西,但我想,如果你想要一 棵橡樹,或松樹、葡萄,或桃樹、天竺葵、丁香,你就會(huì)去種它 們,而我知道你想要一株心安草,所以我決心盡我所能做一株最 好的心安草。"
中國(guó)經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)寓言故事閱讀 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。

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."

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."

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.
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?
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. Until the fox thought highly of the crow's beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

中國(guó)經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)寓言故事閱讀 篇12
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處境和整晚的恐懼。死神隨時(shí)都可能降臨。他的手開始發(fā)涼,漸漸地抓不住了...當(dāng)太陽(yáng)升起的時(shí)候,他朝下看了看,笑了。下面壓根就沒(méi)有什么深淵。在他下方六英尺的地方有一塊大石頭。巖石那么大,他本可以在那兒休息一個(gè)晚上,美美的`睡上一覺(jué),但昨晚他卻在夢(mèng)魘中度過(guò)。
恐懼只是六英尺的距離而已。接下來(lái),到了你做決定的時(shí)候了:你是想要繼續(xù)抓著樹枝過(guò)夢(mèng)魘一般的生活,還是更喜歡把手從樹枝上松開,雙腳著地?
真的沒(méi)有什么好害怕的。
中國(guó)經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)寓言故事閱讀 篇13
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. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains. 狼誤吞下了一塊骨頭,十分難受,四處奔走,尋訪醫(yī)生。
他遇見了鷺鷥,談定酬金請(qǐng)他 取出骨頭,鷺鷥把自己的頭伸進(jìn)狼的喉嚨里,叼出了骨頭,便向狼要定好的`酬金。
狼回答 說(shuō):“喂,朋友,你能從狼嘴里平安無(wú)事地收回頭來(lái),難道還不滿足,怎么還要講報(bào)酬?”
這故事說(shuō)明,對(duì)壞人行善的報(bào)酬,就是認(rèn)識(shí)壞人不講信用的本質(zhì)。

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.
