1.趣味英语小故事 篇一

　　Mike is a little boy. He is only five years old. He is too small to go to school. So he can not read and write.

　　One day he stood at my desk with a pencil in his hand. There was a big piece of paper on the desk. He wanted to draw a picture of himself. He drew lines and cleared them out, then drew more and cleared them out again. When I looked at the picture, he wasn't happy. "Well," he said at last to me, "I'll put a tail on it and make it a monkey."

　　He began to add the tail. I began to laugh.

　　他开始加上小尾巴,我大笑起来。

　　The Crow and The Pitcher

　　A crow felt very thirsty. He looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher.

　　But there was not a lot of water in the pitcher. His beak could not reach it. He tried again and again, but still could not touch the water.

　　When he was about to give up, an idea came to him. He took a pebble and dropped it into the pitcher.

　　Then he took another and dropped it in.

　　Gradually, the water rose, and the crow was able to drink the water.

　　渐渐地，水面升高了。乌鸦高兴地喝到了水。

　　寓意：有些东西虽然看起来微不足道，但如果积少成多，便会带来很大变化。

5.趣味英语小故事 篇五

　　Making His Mark

　　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. Isnt this a very foolish way to look for a sword?

　　楚国有个人坐船渡江时，他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢?船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。

6.趣味英语小故事 篇六

　　A singing-bird was confined1 in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came and clung2 to the bars of the cage, and asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. "I have a very good reason for doing so," said the bird: "it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice, and set his nets for me and caught me. Since then I have never sung except by night." But the bat replied, "It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner. If only you had done so before you were caught, you might still have been free."

　　Precautions3 are useless after the event.

　　一只画眉鸟被囚禁在窗外挂着的一个笼子里，当其他鸟儿都酣睡时，她却在夜里唱歌。有一个夜晚，蝙蝠飞过来，抓住鸟笼的.栅栏，问她为什么白天默默无声，却在夜里放声歌唱。小鸟回答说：“我这样做是有道理的，曾经有一次，当我在白天唱歌时，一个捕鸟人被我的歌声吸引，就用鸟笼子捉住了我。从此我只在夜里歌唱。”可是，蝙蝠却说：“你现在这样做根本没用了，因为你已经成为阶下囚。若是在被捉住之前这样做就好了，那样或许你依然是自由之身!”

　　待事情发生之后再预防，为时已晚。

7.趣味英语小故事 篇七

　　An unlucky fox fell into a well. It was quite deep, so he could not get out by himself.

　　A goat passed by. He asked the fox what he was doing in the well. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down to get some water. Why don’t you come down here too?"

　　The goat believed his words, and jumped down into the well.

　　But the fox immediately jumped on the goat’s back and up to the edge of the well.

　　"Good-bye, friend," said the fox. "Remember next time don’t trust the advice of a man in difficulties."

　　【参考译文】

　　一只不走运的狐狸，失足掉到了井里。井很深，他无法跳出来。

　　一只山羊经过这里，便问狐狸在井下做什么。狐狸说：“哦，你没有听说吗？这里将要大旱，因此我跳进来取水，为什么你不下来一起喝呢？”

　　山羊相信了狐狸的话，就真的跳进井里。

　　狐狸立即跳上山羊的背，又一跳，跳上了井沿。

　　“再见，朋友，”狐狸说，“记住，不要相信一个身陷麻烦的人的建议。”

　　寓意： 处于困境之中的人为了摆脱困境，往往不惜牺牲别人的利益，所以他们的建议常常是不可信的。

8.趣味英语小故事 篇八

　　Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake.

　　People came from far and near to see what would happen.

　　"A great river will be born." said one.

　　"Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will e out." said another.

　　"A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third.

　　Finally,after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped-a mouse.

　　Just because someone makes a lot of fuss， it doesn't mean he is important.

　　很久以前，一座大山隆隆作响，摇晃起来。远近各处的人都来看是怎样回事。

　　一个人说："要出现一条大河了。"

　　另一个人说："准会出现一条巨龙。"

　　第三个人说："从这些岩石中会出现一尊神来。"

　　等了几天之后，山坡上最终裂开一条小缝，却蹦出来一只耗子。

　　正因为某人大肆张扬，所以他没有什么了不起。

9.趣味英语小故事 篇九

　　Once a man wanted to go to the south, but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him: “If you are going to the south, why is your chariot heading north? ” The man answered, “My horse is good at running, my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage, and I have enough money. ” The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong; the better his conditions were, the further he was away from his destination.

　　从前有个人要到南方去，他坐的车子却向北方行驶。过路人说：“你去南方，车子怎么向北行驶呢？”他回答说：“我的马很能跑路，我的车夫驾车的技术也很高明，加上我又带了充足的路费。”这个人没有考虑到，方向弄反了，他的条件越好，离他要去的地方就越远。

　　The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.

　　后来人们就把这个故事概括为“南辕北辙”，比喻一个人的行为和他的目的正好相反。

　　A Man and a Satyr having struck up an acquaintance， sat down together to eat。 The day being wintry and cold， the Man put his fingers to his mouse and blew opon them。 "What's that for， my friend?" asked the Satyr。 " My hands are so cold，" said the Man， "I do it to warm them。" In a little while some hot food was placed before them， and the Man， raising the dish to his mouse， again blew opon it。 "And what's the meaning of that， now?" said the Satyr。 "Oh，" replied the Man， "my porridge is so hot， I do it to cool it。" "Nay， then，" said the Satyr， "from this moment I renounce your friendship， for I will have nothing to do with one who blows hot and cold with the same mouse。"
