第一篇：The Fox and the Horse英语童话故事

The Fox and the Horse英语童话故事;狐狸和马的故事

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

A peasant had a faithful horse which had grown old and could do no more work, so his master no longer wanted to give him anything to eat and said, “I can certainly make no more use of you, but still I mean well by you, and if you prove yourself still strong enough to bring me a lion here, I will maintain you.But for now get out of my stable.” And with that he chased him into the open field.The horse was sad, and went to the forest to seek a little protection there from the weather.There the fox met him and said, “Why do you hang your head so, and go about all alone?”

“Alas,” replied the horse, “greed and loyalty do not dwell together in one house.My master has forgotten what services I have performed for him for so many years, and because I can no longer plow well, he will give me no more food, and has driven me out.”

“Without giving you a chance?” asked the fox.“The chance was a bad one.He said, if I were still strong enough to bring him a lion, he would keep me, but he well knows that I cannot do that.”

The fox said, “I will help you.Just lie down, stretch out as if you were dead, and do not stir.”

The horse did what the fox asked, and then the fox went to the lion, who had his den not far off, and said, “A dead horse is lying out there.Just come with me, and you can have a rich meal.”

The lion went with him, and when they were both standing by the horse the fox said, “After all, it is not very comfortable for you here —— I tell you what —— I will fasten it to you by the tail, and then you can drag it into your cave and eat it in peace.”

This advice pleased the lion.He positioned himself, and in order that the fox might tie the horse fast to him, he kept completely quiet.But the fox tied the lion's legs together with the horse's tail, and twisted and fastened everything so well and so strongly that no amount of strength could pull it loose.When he had finished his work, he tapped the horse on the shoulder and said, “Pull, white horse, pull!”

Then up sprang the horse at once, and pulled the lion away with him.The lion began to roar so that all the birds in the forest flew up in terror, but the horse let him roar, and drew him and dragged him across the field to his master's door.When the master saw the lion, he was of a better mind, and said to the horse, “You shall stay with me and fare well.” And he gave him plenty to eat until he died.

第二篇：英语童话故事

以自我介绍开始电话交谈：“Hello，this is Peter Jones.如果你在接电话的时候对方没有表明他是谁，你可以说：“May I ask who's calling，please？”

Asking for someone / Making a request

如果你打电话给特定的某个人的话，那么你得用礼貌的问句来表达意图，例如“May I speak to Rachel Smith，please？”当你只知道分机号码却不知道人名的时候你可以说：“Could I have extension number 635？”但如果打电话是有特定的目的，那最好是这么说：“I'm calling to make a reservation.”

Holding and transferring

“Please hold”是电话语言中表示“等一下”。当你需要transferred（转接）到另一部分机，你常会听到：“Connecting your call…”或者“Please hold，I'll transfer you.”。如果你是在繁忙时段拨打某公司电话的话，你可能会听到简短的一句话，“Hello，please hold！”在接线员将你转到另一条线之前。

Leaving a message

当你打电话的对象不在或不能接听电话时，准备好留言。你可以使用voicemail（电子录音系统）或一部answering machine（在磁带上录音的一种机器）。如果你正和接线员讲话的话，他们会问：“Would you like to leave a message？”或者你可以说，“May I leave a message？如果想要对方回电话的话，千万别忘了留你的电话号码。这被称作call back number.Asking the speaker to slow down

如果你不确定你能听懂所有的英语对话，一定要坦诚。直接告诉对方：“My English isn't very strong，could you please speak slowly？”大部分的人会赞许你的诚实并很高兴这么做。

Write it down

如果你觉得用英语打电话还有点紧张的话，把要讲的事先写下来将很有帮
