1、The moon and her mother
The Moon once begged her Mother to make her a gown. “How can I?” replied she; “there's no fitting your figure. At one time you're a New Moon, and at another you're a Full Moon; and between whiles you're neither one nor the other.”

2、The cat and the birds
A Cat heard that the Birds in an aviary were ailing. So he got himself up as a doctor, and, taking with him a set of the instruments proper to his profession, presented himself at the door, and inquired afterthe health of the Birds. “We shall do very well,” they replied, without letting him in, “when we've seen the last of you.”
有一只猫,闻言某处鸟舍里的鸟儿们全都生病了。于是他便扮作医生,带着医生所使用的专业器具,装模作样地来到鸟房前,假装问候里面的鸟儿身体状况。“我们都很健康,”鸟儿们会带说,并没有让猫进去,“一看到你的大尾巴,我们就全好了。”
3、The peacock and the crane
A Peacock taunted a Crane with the dullness of her plumage. “Look at my brilliant colours,” said she, “and see how much finer they are than your poor feathers.” “I am not denying,” replied the Crane, “that yours are far gayer than mine; but when it comes to flying I can soar into the clouds, whereas you are confined to the earth like any dunghill cock.”
孔雀嘲讽鹤的羽毛色泽暗淡,她奚落道:“看看我的羽毛,多么鲜艳华丽呀,比你那灰暗难看的羽毛强出百倍。”“我不否认,”鹤说道:“你的羽毛比我华丽,可是,要说飞行能力,我翅膀上的羽毛能在空中翱翔,而你却只能像公鸡一样,在地上行走。”
4、have a bright future
In the Chinese classic Zhuangzi, there is a legend like thi
Once upon a time, a gigantic fish named Kun lived in the North Sea. No one knew how large it actually was. This fish could change itself into Peng (a roc), a huge bird measuring thousands of kilometers in length. When the bird spread its wings, it looked like huge clouds in the sky. It could, in one stretch, fly from the North Sea to the South Sea on the other side of the globe, and soar up to 90,000 li (45,000 kilometers) in the heaven.
The bird can surely fly over a long distance without stopping. Now people use this idiom to wish others have a successful career or a bright future.
在《庄子》一书中有这样一个故事:
45,000很久很久以前,北海里住着一条巨大的鱼,名字叫鲲 (kūn)。没有人知道它到底有多大。这条鱼能够变成鹏(péng),一种庞大的鸟,有几百万米长。鹏鸟展开翅膀就像天空里的一大片云。它能一口气从北海飞到地球另一边的南海。当它展翅高飞的时候,它可以冲上90000里(45000公里)的高空。 毫无疑问,这种鸟一次能飞过很长的距离。人们用“鹏程万里”这个成语来祝愿别人事业顺利,前途光明。
5、The spendthrift and the sw
A Spendthrift, who had wasted his fortune, and had nothing left but the clothes in which he stood, saw a Swallow one fine day in early spring. Thinking that summer had come, and that he could now do with out his coat, he went and sold it for what it would fetch. A change, however, took place in the weather, and there came a sharp frost which killed the unfortunate Swallow. When the Spendthrift saw its dead body he cried, “Miserable bird! Thanks to you I am perishing of cold myself.”
一个败家子因为挥霍无度白白耗费了所有的财产。在一个早春的日子里,除了身上的衣服之外,已经别无所有的他,看到一只燕子。他心里想着,应该是夏天来临,可以不再需要身上的外套了。于是,他出去卖掉外套,换点什么东西。不料,天气骤变,忽然降临的一场霜冻死了不幸的小燕子。败家子看到燕子的尸体后,大喊道:“可怜的小鸟!都是因为你,我才会跟着挨冻呀。”
6、Give up halfway
During the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220AD), there was a man called Yue Yangzi. Encouraged by his wife, he left home to visit scholars and enrich his knowledge.
A year later, he came back home sudd
“Why have you returned?” asked his wife in surprise, “You've only spent one year studying with scholars.”
“I come back because I missed you very much,” Yue Yangzi replied.
Without saying anything, his wife took a pair of scissors and went to the loom at which she had worked. Pointing at the half-done brocade, she proclaimed, “This brocade is woven from the finest silk. I wove one strand after another to produce the brocade. Now if I cut it, all my previous work will be wasted. It's the same with your studies. Now, you've stopped halfway. Isn't it the same as cutting the brocade on the loom?”
Deeply moved by what she said, Yue Yangzi again left home to continue his studies.
Several years later, he finished his studies and became a learned man.
东汉时,有个名叫乐羊子的人,在妻子的鼓励下,出远门拜师求学。
一年后,乐羊子突然回到家中。
他的妻子很惊讶地问:“你怎么回来了?你才和那些学者学了一年呀!”
乐羊子说:“我太想你了,所以回来看看。”
他的妻子听了之后,二话不说,拿起把剪刀走到她的织布机前,指着那块已经完成了一半的锦缎说:“这块锦缎用的是最好的丝,我一丝丝的累积来织成这锦缎。如果我现在把它剪断,就等于前功尽弃。你求学也是这样,如果现在停止,和剪断织布机上的锦缎有什么区别?”
乐羊子被妻子的话深深感动,于是立刻离开家,继续拜师求学。
几年后,乐洋子终于完成学业,成为一个博学的人。
7、The hounds are killed for food once all the hares are bagged
During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), there were two famous senior officials in the State of Yue. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, ignored the advice of Fan Li and blindly launched an attack against the neighboring State of Wu. As a result, he suffered a disastrous defeat. The King of Wu caught him and had him as a slave. Fan Li persuaded him to endure humiliation, pretend to surrender and wait for an opportunity to avenge. Also, Wen Zhong paid many visits to the State of Wu, trying to help restore Gou's confidence. Years later, Gou was set free. With the help of Fan and Wen, the State of Yue rapidly rehabilitated and later annexed the
As they had made so much contribution, both Fan and Wen were awarded great riches. Gou Jian even offered half of the state to Fan. However, knowing Gou too well, Fan rejected and decided to live in seclusion. As a hermit, Fan wrote to his friend Wen. In his letter, Fan said, “When all the flying birds have been shot down, the good bow is put away; when all the hares have been bagged, the hounds are killed for food. I suggest you withdraw to avoid disaster.” Taking his advice, Wen pretended to be ill and stopped attending imperial court meetings. But it was too late. Gou Jian believed the slanderous gossip about Wen and ordered Wen to kill himself.
范蠡和文仲是春秋时期越国的两个大官。越王勾践不听范蠡劝告,盲目进攻邻国吴国,结果被吴国打败,他自己也被吴王抓去作苦力。范蠡说服勾践忍受耻辱,假装服从,等待机会再报仇。文仲也多次到吴国拜访,并且帮助勾践恢复信心。几年以后,吴王把勾践放回越国。在范蠡和文仲的相助下,越国很快就恢复了往日的强大,最后消灭了吴国。
因为范蠡和文仲为越国做出了巨大的贡献,越王就赏给他们很多财宝,还把国土的一半分给范蠡。但范蠡很了解勾践这个人,所以他谢绝了这些赏赐,找个地方隐居起来。他还写信给文仲告诉他:“当天上的鸟儿被射完了,弓箭也就没用了;当所有的兔子被抓完了,猎狗也将被杀了吃掉。我劝你还是早点离开勾践,免得惹来灾难。”文仲看完信后,接受了范蠡的劝告。他假装生病,不再参加朝中会议,但一切都太迟了。勾践听信了别人对他的谣言,逼他自杀了。

三 : 解说一则有趣的英语小故事(图片)
这则故事的题目叫<What’s cooking in thezoo>,在视频播放器里可以找到琪琪的朗读示范。
琪琪最近从朗文系列读物中阅读了不少类似的有趣的英语小故事,便从中精选出一则小故事和大家分享一下,(来自朗文阅读材料,感谢朗文)顺便把书中所有的图片都复制了下来,一起来欣赏一下吧!
在这个故事中有8个角色:
分别是烹调老师Missowl
以及想学烹调的学生有
喜欢制造幽默的Parrot;
喜欢搞小动作的Tiger;
喜欢打瞌睡的Alligator;
好玩的Panda;
粗心的Gorilla;
爱帮忙的Elephant;
老实的Giraffe
故事一开始,老虎和长颈鹿一边走在上学的路上,一边交谈起来,
老虎说:“我非常喜欢学烹调。”
长颈鹿说:“我也很喜欢,但我想学如何烹调蔬菜,因为我喜欢蔬菜”。
而老虎却说:“我要学习如何烹调肉类,我知道应该多吃蔬菜,但我还是更喜欢吃肉。”
他们边说边走到了学校,烹调老师是Missowl,老师说今天要学习的内容很多,但主要是关于厨房的干净和安全问题,不希望有谁在这里捣蛋。由于英语中的monkey作动词的时候有捣蛋的意思,于是喜欢制造幽默的Parrot说了:“monkey isn’t here today, so we can’t monkey around!Ha! ha!”;不过耐心十足的老师并没有批评他,只是说了句:“That’s enough monkeying aroundtoday”。便开始进入正式话话题。
老师说:“在烹调之前得先洗手。”而这个时候,喜欢搞小动作的Tiger却都还在兴奋地玩转盘子呢,老师制止了他,同时提醒大家如果我们用了脏的盘子就会生病的。
老师同时提醒喜欢打瞌睡的Alligator,该醒醒了,在厨房里打瞌睡是很不安全的,尤其在生火的炉子边更要小心,烹调完一定要记住关掉炉火,还要保持厨房地面上的清洁。
并提醒好玩的Panda要注意听讲;
这个时候,Parrot有点急了,问老师什么时候才开始烹调呀?老师于是拿出配料单和烹调步骤清单,让大家一起开始学习如何烹调。
在烹调之前,老师再次提醒大家先洗手,接着开始正式烹调。突然喜欢搞小动作的Tiger尾巴烧着了,幸亏有大象帮忙浇灭了火;
接着是粗心的Gorilla把一锅粥弄翻了,全部倒在地板上,老师率先滑倒在地,Gorilla伸手帮忙,却也滑倒在地,接着老实的Giraffe还是滑倒在地上,Tiger、Panda、还有Alligator都滑倒在一起,堆成了一座小山一样,而Parrot站在一旁笑得前俯后仰,最后还是请帮忙用长鼻子把地板吸干净,还1个劲地说:“Yummy, yummy! The rice isdelicious!”
最后,大家以为老师一定会生气,可是Missowl并没有生气,反而对这堂课感到非常满意,因为大家都真正地懂得了以下道理:
"Weshouldn't spill rice on the floor!"shouted Panda.
"We should clean things up right away!"said Gorilla.
"A clean kitchen is a safe kitchen!"said Tiger.
"No monkeying around in the kitchen!"said Parrot.
"and I learnt that rice is very very tasty!said Elephant as herubbed his tummy."
