英语寓言故事集锦6篇

  He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them.

  "Can you break that ? " he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood. The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it .

  Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks.

  " Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands.

  "Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. "

  United we stand ; divided we fall.

  从前有一个人,他有四个儿子。儿子们不断地争吵。他一再告诫他们说,如果他们一齐干活儿,生活会舒适得多,但他们丝毫不理会他的意见。有一天,他决定经过示范把自我的意思告诉他们。

  他把四个儿子都叫来,又把一捆扎得很紧的.细树枝放在他们面前的地上。

  "你能折断这个吗?"他问最小的儿子。小伙子用膝盖顶住,两只手又压又拉,都不能把那捆树枝弄弯。父亲让别的儿子挨个儿试试,看他们是否能把那捆树枝折断,但谁也做不到。

  然后,他解开绳子,把树枝撒开。

  "试试吧。"他说。四个小伙子用手轻轻一撅,树枝就断了。

  "你们明白我的意思了吗?"父亲问,"只要你们联合起来,谁也不能伤害你们。如果你们老吵架,必须要各行其是,那么你们一遇到敌人,就会被打败。"

  合则存,分则败。

英语寓言故事2

  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。

英语寓言故事3

  A boy was playing in the fields when he was stung by a nettle.He ran home to tell his mother what had happened.

  "I only touched it lightly," he said, "and the nasty thing stung me."

  Face danger boldly.

  "我可是轻轻地碰了它一下,"他说,"那厌恶的东西就把我刺痛了。"

  "你只轻轻地碰了它一下,所以它才刺痛你,"妈妈对他说,"下一回你再碰到荨麻,就尽量紧紧地抓住它。那它就根本不会刺痛你了。"

  要敢于应对危险。

英语寓言故事4

  A wild boar was sharpening his tusks against a tree one day when a fox came by.

  "What are you doing that for?" asked the fox. "There are no hunters around.Everything looks very peaceful to me."

  "你为什么干这个呀?"狐狸问,"附近又没有猎人,我觉得平安无事。"

  "不错,"野猪说,"可是,如果猎人真的带着猎狗来了,我只能逃走,就没工夫干这个了。趁我此刻能够磨,就让我磨磨牙齿吧。"

  时刻准备着(有备无患)。

英语寓言故事5

  A man once bought a brilliantly-coloured parrot.Instead of locking it up in a cage or chaining it to a perch, he allowed it to fly free all over the house.The parrot was delighted at this and flapped from room to room, shrieking and screaming with happiness.At last he settled on the edge of a rich curtain.

  "Who on earth are you ?" said a cross voice from below."Stop that terrible noise at once."

  The parrot saw a cat staring up at him from the carpet.

  "I 'm a parrot.I 've just arrived and I 'm to make as much noise as I can," he said.

  "Well, I 've lived here all my life," replied the cat ."I was born in this very house and I learned from my mother that it is best to keep quiet here."

  "Keep quiet then, "said the parrot cheerfully."I don't know what you do around here, but I know my job.My master bought me for my voice and I'm going to make sure he hears it."

  "你到底是谁?"从下头传来怒气冲冲的说话声,"立刻住嘴,别发出那难听的声音。"

  鹦鹉看见地毯上有一只猫抬头看着他。

  "我是鹦鹉。我刚到,我要使劲地吵吵。"他说。"那你就一声不响吧,"鹦鹉欢快地说,"我不明白你在这儿干什么,可我明白我的`活儿。主人为了我的声音才买我,我必须得让他听到。"

  不一样的人因有不一样的特点而受重视。
