寓言故事脍炙人口,它集知识性与趣味性于一体 ,下面这些是小编为大家推荐的几篇英语寓言故事翻译。
英语寓言故事翻译1:The Pack-Ass,the Wild Ass and the Lion
A wild ass saw a pack-ass jogging along under a heavy load,
and taunted him with the condition of slavery in which he lived,
in these words: "What a vile lot is yours compared with mine! I
am free as the air, and never do a stoke of work; and, as for fodder,
I have only to go to the hills and there I find far more than enough
for my needs. But you! You depend on your master for food, and
he makes you carry heavy loads every day and beats you
unmercifully." At that moment a lion appeared on the scene, and
made no attempt to molest the pack-ass owing to the presence
of the driver, but he fell upon the wild ass, who had no one to
protect him, and without more ado made a meal of him.
It is no use being your own master unless you can stand up
for yourself.
英语寓言故事翻译2:A little box
How oft the commonest of tasks looks long and tiresome till
begun. To use your wits, is all it asks, start doing, and it's done.
They brought John Brown a box, fresh from the workman's
hands. Twas work that took the eye, so neatly, cleanly done. This
charming little box delighted everyone.
Then in comes a mechanic. Oh yes, these things he
understands. He glances at the box. 'This box has got some trick.
You see it has no lock. And yet I warrant you, I'll have it open
quick. You boobies over there, don't mock! Just wait! I'll find the
catch, then show the trick to you. In matters of this kind I know a
thing or two.'
He sets to work, leaves nothing untried. He turns it round on
every side; he guesses and he guesses. One knob and then the
next, and then the handle presses. John looks at him and all the
while Just shakes his head and James and Ned whisper among
themselves and smile. From time to time some onlooker will say:
'Not that way! No, not there!'
But harder still and harder he puzzles, he perspires, till
damped is all his ardour. He gives it up and puts it on the shelf.
And why not raise the lid? He never tried that way! This was a box
that opened of itself.
英语寓言故事翻译3:Crow And Fowl
When prince Smolensky's art had found a way to curb the
foe's presumptuous heart. The modern Vandals snared to ruin
and left them Moscow town to their undoing.
Then all, the great and small, each blessed soul alive, Packed
up without an hour's delay and from the walls of Moscow
streamed away like swarm of bees that leaves the hive.
A crow upon a roof that slowly cleaned her beak surveyed
the tumult, perched apart.
'Why, friend, it's surely time to start?' called out a hen upon
a cart, 'Stands at the gate, even while I speak, our ruthless foe.'
'And where's the harm in that for me?' The augur bird replies:
'I'll hold my own, you'll see; You chicken-hearts, that want to, go!
But folk will neither roast nor stew a crow. We'll get on well
enough, our guests and I, who knows but I may find some dainty
snacks of food, a bit of cheese, a bone or something good? Good
luck, dear Henny, on the road! Good-bye!'
So Crow, she stayed behind. What else? Why, stead of snacks
her board to embellish, When, in Smolensky's clutch, the French
took in their belts, they cooked the crow as well, to give their
soup a relish.
As blind, as foolish often do human reckonings show. You're
close on Fortune's heels; you think you'll catch the jade, And
when the last accounts are made, you're in the soup, just like our
crow.
