英語寓言故事：一顆小蘋果樹(中英對照)
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.
一個人在趕夜路時，突然從巖石上跌了下去，嚇得他趕緊抓住了巖石上的樹枝，因為他知道這一帶有個深谷，一不小心就會跌入上千英尺的深淵。一晚上，他唯一能看到的就是深不見底的峽谷。他大呼救命，但只聽到了自己的迴音---沒有人能聽到他呼救。
你可以想象一下他的處境和整晚的恐懼。死神隨時都可能降臨。他的手開始發涼，漸漸地抓不住了...當太陽升起的時候，他朝下看了看，笑了。下面壓根就沒有什麼深淵。在他下方六英尺的地方有一塊大石頭。巖石那麼大，他本可以在那兒休息一個晚上，美美的睡上一覺，但昨晚他卻在夢魘中度過。
恐懼只是六英尺的距離而已。接下來，到了你做決定的時候了：你是想要繼續抓着樹枝過夢魘一般的生活，還是更喜歡把手從樹枝上鬆開，雙腳着地？
真的沒有什麼好害怕的。
篇二：英語寓言故事
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying： “If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.” The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar,came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free,
exclaimed： “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any
repayment of your favour； but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.” 獅和鼠
一隻老鼠從一隻獅子面前跑過去，將它從夢中吵醒。
獅子生氣地跳起來，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求説：「只要你肯饒恕我這條小生命，我將來一定會報答你的大恩。」獅子便笑着放了它。
後來獅子被幾個獵人捉住，用粗繩捆綁倒在地上。老鼠聽出是獅子的吼聲，走來用牙齒咬斷繩索，釋放了它，並大聲説：「你當時嘲笑我想幫你的忙，而且也不指望我有什麼機會報答。但是你現在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向獅子效勞的。」
The Bat and the Weaselsa
Bat falling upon the ground was caught by a Weasel, ofwhom he earnestly besought his life. The Weasel
refused,saying, that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. TheBat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, andthus saved his life.
Shortly afterwards the Bat again fellon the ground, and was carght by another Weasel, whom helikewise
entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that hehad a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him thathe was
not a mouse, but a bat; and thus a second is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠和鼠狼
一隻蝙蝠墜落到地面上來，被一隻鼠狼捉住了，蝙蝠哀求討饒。鼠狼不答應，説它自己最愛和鳥類為敵。蝙蝠便證明它自己不是鳥，只是一隻老鼠，因此鼠狼就放了它。
不久這隻蝙蝠又墜落到地上來，被另一隻鼠狼捉住，它同樣地哀求討饒。那鼠狼説它自己最恨老鼠，蝙蝠證明自己並不是老鼠，而是一隻蝙蝠；因此，它第二次又安然地逃離危險了。隨機應變乃聰明之舉。
The miser and his gold Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.
One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.
He was surprised, and then burst into the neighbors gathered around him.
He told them how he used to come and visit his gold. "Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."
守財奴
從前，有個守財奴將他的金塊埋到一棵樹下，每週他都去把他挖出來看看。
一天晚上，一個小偷挖走了所有的金塊。 守財奴再來查看時，發現除了一個空洞什麼都沒有了。
守財奴便捶胸痛哭。哭聲引來了鄰居
他告訴他們這裏原來有他的金塊。
問明瞭原因後，一個鄰居問：“你使用過這些金塊嗎？” “沒用過，” 他説，“我只是時常來看看。”“那麼，以後再來看這個洞，”鄰居説，“就像以前有金塊時一樣。”
篇三：英語寓言故事帶翻譯(5則)
The Father and His Son
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then
addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
父親和孩子們
一位父親有幾個孩子，這些孩子時常發生口角。他絲毫沒有辦法來勸阻他們，只好讓他們看看不合羣所帶來害處的例子。為了達到這個目的，有一天他叫他們替他拿一捆細柴來。當他們把柴帶來時，他便先後地將那捆柴放在每一個孩子的手中，吩咐他們弄斷這捆柴。他們一個個盡力去試，總是不能成功。
然後他解開那捆柴，一根根地放在他們手裏，如此一來，他們便毫不費力地折斷了。於是他就告訴他們説：「孩子們！如果你們大家團結一致，互相幫助，你們就像這捆柴一樣，不能被你們的敵人折斷；但如果你們自行，你們就將和這些散柴一般，不堪一折了。」

四.寓言故事：人與賽特 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. "Whats 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 whats 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."
一個人與賽特偶然相識，坐在一起吃東西。正值冬季，天氣很冷，那人把手放在嘴邊哈氣。賽特問道“我的`朋友，那是幹嗎？”這人説“我的手太冷了，這是為了取暖”。過了一會兒，熱騰騰的食物端上來了，那人把碟子舉到嘴邊又吹了起來，賽特問“這又是幹嗎？”，那人説“哦，我的粥太燙了，我把他吹涼些”。賽特説“從現在起，我要與你絕交，因為我不想和一個反覆無常的人做朋友”。
五.寓言故事：狼和小羊 The Wolf and the Lamba
Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly
insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一隻狼瞧見一隻迷路失羣的小羊，決定暫緩下毒手，想先找一些理由，對小羊證明自己有吃它的權利。它就説：「小鬼！你去年曾經罵過我。」小羊可憐地説：「老實説，我去年還沒有出生呢。」狼再説：「你在我的草地上吃過草。」
小羊回答説：「不，好先生，我還未曾嘗過草的味道呢。」狼又説：「你喝過我井裏的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我從沒有喝過水，因為直到今天為止，我都是吃着母親的奶汁。」狼一聽這話，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便説：「好！即使你駁倒我每一句話，我終究要吃晚餐的！」暴君總有他暴行的藉口。
