猴子捞月

一天，有只小猴子在井边玩儿。它往井里一瞧，高喊道：“噢！我的天！月亮掉到井里头啦！” 一只大猴子跑来一看，说，“糟啦！月亮掉在井里头啦！” 老猴子也跑过来。他也非常惊奇，喊道：“糟了，月亮掉在井里头了！” 一群猴子跑到井边来，他们看到井里的月亮，喊道：“月亮掉在井里头啦！快来！让我们把它捞起来！” 然后，老猴子倒挂在大树上，拉住大猴子的脚，其他的猴子一个个跟着，它们一只连着一只直到井里。正好他们摸到月亮的时候，老猴子抬头发现月亮挂在天上呢它兴奋地大叫：“别蠢了！月亮还好好地挂在天上呢！”

4、两只笨狗熊

狗熊妈妈有两个孩子，一个叫大黑，一个叫小黑，它们长得很胖，都很笨。

有一天天气真好，哥俩手拉手一起出去玩儿。走着走着，突然看到路上有一块干面包，捡起来闻闻，嘿，面包香喷喷的。可是，面包只有一个，该怎么分呢？

大黑说：“咱们要分得公平，我的不能比你的小，你的也不能比我的大，不然我会不高兴的。”小黑也说：“对，要分得公平，我的也不能比你的小，你的也不能比我的大，不然我也会不高兴的。”它们俩为一块面包而争执不休。

正在这时，狐狸大婶来了，看见大黑和小黑因为一块面包而争执，狐狸大婶的眼珠子骨碌碌地转了转，想出了一个坏主意。它让大黑和小黑闭上眼睛，趁这个时候把面包吃下去。吃完，狐狸大婶让大黑和小黑睁开眼睛，并对哥俩说：“我把面包吃下去，你们都吃不到面包，这样不就公平了。”

大黑和小黑听了都傻了，你看看我，我看看你，一句话也说不出来……

这个故事告诉我们：狐狸狡猾得无药可救，做人千万不能像狐狸那样不劳而获；我们也不要像两只狗熊那样笨，轻易地相信别人，凡事都要认真思考后再作决定，否则，吃亏的是我们自己。

Mother bear has two children, a large black and a small black, they look fat, stupid.One day they go out to play together hand in hand.Suddenly they see a dry bread on the road.They pick them up.Hey, the yummy bread.However, there is only one piece of bread, and how to share it?

富人无语，只好从国王手里接过了桔子„„

狼非常想吃小羊，就故意找碴儿，说：“你把我喝的水弄脏了！你安的什么心？”

小羊吃了一惊，温和地说：“我怎么会把您喝的水弄脏呢？您站在上游，水是从您那儿流到我这儿来的，不是从我这儿流到您那儿去的。”

狼气冲冲地说：“就算这样吧，你总是个坏家伙！我听说，去年你在背后里说我的坏话！”

可怜的小羊喊道：“啊，亲爱的狼先生，那是不会有的事，去年我还没有生下来哪！”

狼不想再争辩了，龇着牙，逼近小羊，大声嚷道：“你这个小坏蛋！说我坏话的不是你就是你爸爸，反正都一样。”说着就往小羊身上扑去。

趣味英语故事----读典故学英语

PIE IN THE SKY 中国人常说“天上不会掉馅饼”，美国也有类似的说法--pie in the sky，形容不可能实现的事情。下次如果有人跟你说“如果我有500万的话......”，你就可以说，“forget it, it's a pie in the sky”。

此短语直译为『天国（上）的馅饼』，源自美国流行作曲家、世界产业工人联盟的组织者 Joe Hill 于 1911年所作的一首着名歌曲《传教士与奴隶》。他在歌中写道：

You will eat, bye and bye, In the glorious land above the sky!Work and pray, live on hay，You'll get PIE IN THE SKY when you die!这几句歌词是 Joe Hill 从美国救世军军歌中引用过来的，意在讽刺这个宗教组织，揭露其欺骗性和虚伪性，唤醒广大被压迫的奴隶。后来人们就用 pie in the sky 比喻『渺茫的希望』和『不能保证实现的允诺』等意思。

好，这次大家就翻译一下上面那两句歌词吧

-----------------不久你将在天上的圣地就餐。劳动吧！祈祷吧！靠干草过活吧！死后你就会得到天国的馅饼！

Rain cats and dogs。

可能你已经知道了rain cats and dogs 的含意为『下倾盆大雨』，但你知道这个短语是怎样衍生而来的吗？下雨就下雨，怎可能从天上掉下来猫和狗呢？下雨同猫及狗又是怎样扯上关系的呢？原来，据说这个短语最早出现于17世纪，不过关于它的起源已经无从考证。但是现在人们普遍认为，它的起源可能同17世纪使用的地下排水系统有关，当时人们使用的排水系统非常简陋，排水能力极其有限。一旦下起暴雨，地下排水沟里的污水便四处横流。随着污水流出来的不仅有垃圾，各种污秽物，有时甚至还有死猫死狗之类的小动物死尸随污水蔓延出来。如此狗和猫便与瓢泼大雨扯上了关系，人们也据此杜撰了 rain cats and dogs 这一短语。由此可以看出，rain cats and dogs 并不是指天上真的掉下猫和狗（要真是如此，还不让那些喜欢猫和狗的西方人笑歪了鼻子乐歪了嘴？），而是由于大雨引起地下排水不畅，结果阴沟里的死猫死狗便随污水漂浮到地面。

另外，也有人认为，这个短语可能起源于这样的事实：每当下起暴风雨，风大雨急，看上去就好像是猫和狗在打架。还有人认为它来自北欧神话传说，在北欧，人们都认为猫影响天气的变化，而狗则代表风，所以一旦下起暴雨，猫和狗自然脱不了干系（不过我们还是有点替阿猫阿狗们叫屈！不是吗？^-^）。

另外再列举一些与阿猫阿狗有关系的词组吧，比如：cat and dog production 指多规格生产，杂乱生产

(3)继续狗的话题

A DOG IN THE MANGER 因为文化传统的关系，狗在英语语言中都被当作忠实、可爱、聪敏的象征，因此与之有关的短语也大多为褒义之词，但 a dog in the manger 则属例外。从字面来看，A dog in the manger 是指『马厩里的狗』，大家可能觉得奇怪了，狗怎么跑到马厩里去了呢？要解释清楚这个短语的实际含义，还得追根溯源。

这个短语最早出现于《伊索预言》，故事的梗概是：一匹马和一条牛正在马厩里吃草。这时，一条狗闯进来了，它十分霸道地要马和牛都走开。马和牛十分温和地对它说：可是你是不吃草的呀！这条狗却蛮不讲理地说：我是不吃草，可是我不吃的东西也不能让你们白吃！这样，这条狗霸占了盛满稻草的马槽，却赶走了以草为生的马和牛。而它自己呢，也只能看着稻草而不能吃。

《美国韦氏大词典》将其解释为：The dog who would not allow a horse or ox to eat the hay in a manger, even though he himself did not want it.并且在这一基本意义的基础上又将该片语引申为：A person who selfishly withholds from others something that he himself can not use or does not need.讲到这里，大家可能已经想到了汉语中的一个俗语：『占着茅坑不拉屎』，两者在语意上倒也确实十分贴近。根据具体的语境，这个短语还可以理解为『自私自利的人』，『一毛不拔的人』等。例如：

Don't be such a dog in the manger.Lend your bicycle to him since you will not go out this afternoon.还记得上一期带有阿狗的其他谚语和习语吗，我来考察一下大家记住了没

If you want a pretence to whip a dog, say that he ate up the frying-pan.let sleeping dogs lie.Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings.1 别这么不够朋友。既然你今天下午不出去就把自行车借给他用一用。欲加之罪, 何患无辞 3 别多事, 别惹麻烦。4 急不暇择, 饥不择食。
