以下是一篇出自中国古代的寓言故事(英文版),故事结尾附上寓意,方便大家理解故事..邯郸学步Imitating Another without Success and Losing What Used to Be One'sOwn Ability
相传在两千年前，燕国寿陵地方有一位少年，不知道姓啥叫啥，就叫他寿陵少年吧！
这位寿陵少年不愁吃不愁穿，论长相也算得上中等人材，可他就是缺乏自信心，经常无缘无故地感到事事不如人，低人一等——衣服是人家的好，饭菜是人家的香，站相坐相也是人家高雅。他见什么学什么，学一样丢一样，虽然花样翻新，却始终不能做好一件事，不知道自己该是什么模样。
家里的人劝他改一改这个毛病，他以为是家里人管得太多。亲戚、邻居们，说他是狗熊掰棒子，他也根本听不进去。日久天长，他竟怀疑自己该不该这样走路，越看越觉得自己走路的姿势太笨，太丑了。
有一天，他在路上碰到几个人说说笑笑，只听得有人说邯郸人走路姿势那叫美。他一听，对上了心病，急忙走上前去，想打听个明白。不料想，那几个人看见他，一阵大笑之后扬长而去。
邯郸人走路的姿势究竟怎样美呢？他怎么也想象不出来。这成了他的心病。终于有一天，他瞒着家人，跑到遥远的邯郸学走路去了。
一到邯郸，他感到处处新鲜，简直令人眼花缭乱。看到小孩走路，他觉得活泼、美，学；看见老人走路，他觉得稳重，学；看到妇女走路，摇摆多姿，学。就这样，不过半月光景，他连走路也不会了，路费也花光了，只好爬着回去了。
故事出自《庄子·秋水》。成语“邯郸学步”，比喻生搬硬套，机械地模仿别人，不但学不到别人的长处，反而会把自己的优点和本领也丢掉。
Imitating Another without Success and Losing What Used to Be One'sOwn AbilityTradition has it that more than 2,oooyears ago,there lived a young man in the Shouling area of the State of Yan.As his name is not known ,we just call him Shouling young man for convenience's sake.self confident He was at a loss as to how to behave all the time.His family members advised him to overcome this shortcoming,but he thought they were fond of poking their noses into his business and were unwilling to provide him with tuition fee.His relatives and neighbours sneered at him,saying that he would never be able to learn
anything.Asthe days went by,he even began to doubt whether he should walk the way he did,for he felt more and more that his walking gestures were too clumsy and awkward.One day,he met some people on the road who werechattingand laughing.One of
themsaid that people in Handan walked most gracefully.And thatwas just what he was most concerned about,so he hurreed towards themand wanted to make further inquiries.To his surprise,when these people saw him,they stalked off laughing.He could not picture to himself in what way their walking gestures were graceful,no matter how hard he racked his parents one day.He went to Handanwhich was far away to learn how to walk.As soon as he arrived in Handan,he was dazzled to find that everything was novel.He learned from the children there how to walk,because he thought that the children's walking gestures were lively and pleasing to the eye.He learnd from the old people there how to walk,because he thought the old people's walking gestures were steady.He learnd from the women there how to walk,because he thought the women' swaying walking gestures were
beautiful.That being the case with him ,in less than half a month he even forgot how to walk.As he had already used up his traveling expenses,he had to crawl back home.The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face.Rising up angrily, 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 and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
“You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any
repayment of your favor;now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion.”
狮子睡着了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来，把他抓住，准备吃掉。老鼠请 求饶命，并说如果保住性命，必将报恩，狮子轻蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，狮子真 的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获，并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎，走过去咬断绳索，放走了狮子，并说：
“你当时嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的报答，现在可清楚了，老鼠也能报恩。” 这故事说明，时运交替变更，强者也会有需要弱者的时候。
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's 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.” Upon 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.一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上 游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝 水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被 你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”
这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life.The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds.The Bat assured him that
he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free.Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him.The
Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice.The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

Sports Meeting
Last month we had a sports meeting.Though the weather wasn't very fine that day, the students were all very excited and the whole school was alive.This time, I was even more excited.Because I went in for the sports meeting and my item was high jump.I didn't want to get any place, I only wanted to enjoy the game because I knew I wasn't good at sports.When I got to the field with my friend.I was both excited and nervous.When I saw the first height, my heart could hardly heat.How high it was!It was higher than our desks.I couldn't believe my eyes.This was too high for me to jump over.I wasn't nervous at that timewhile I was a bit afraid.But I had gone there, I must have a try.Not long after, the game began.The first person was great.He jumped over easily.I was too surprised to say a word.The second was good, too.The third nearly jumped over, but he wasn't bad…
It was my turn.I had a deep breath and then ran towards.In front of the pole, I began to jump.Oh, no!My right foot hit the pole.“I failed.” I thought.And then, another unlucky thing happened.I didn't stand firm and I tumbled.I hurt my back badly.At that moment I felt my back was broken.It was too painful.It seemed that the people around field all didn't know that, they only laughed at my foolish posture.After a very short rest, I stood up.I push my pain back and then went out of the field with my red face.My friend hurried to come to me.He asked me if this was terrible.I was too pained with my back to answer his questions.I only shook my head.I was sad.Not only I had hurt my back but also I couldn't go on in the game.I had to see the others jump and wish them to get a good place.Though I didn't have the whole game.I was still very happy.Because a lot of my classmates tried their best in the game and they got a lot of good places.They were all best in my eyes.I was thankful to them for doing their best for our class.关于运动的英语短文篇三
All over the world millions of people take part in different kinds of sports.Sports are perhaps the most popular form of relaxation that almost all can enjoy.Some people seem to think that sports and games are unimportant things that people do at times when they are not working.But in fact sports and games can be of great value, especially to people who work with their brains most of the day.They should not be treated only as ammusements.Sports and games build our bodies, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy.They also give us valuable practice in helping the eyes, brain and muscles to work together.In table tennis, the eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction, and pass the information on to the brain.The brain has to decide what to do and sends its orders to the muscles of the arms legs and so on, so that the bah is met and hit back where the player wants it to do.All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice can do this successfully.Sports and games are also very useful for character-training.In their lessons, boys and girls may learn about such virrues as unselfishness courage disciple and love of one's country, but what is learned in books can not have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned through practice.Most of students' time is spent in classes, studying lessons.So what the students do in their spare time is of great importance.If each of them learns to go all out for his team and not for himself on the sports field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of society, for the good of his country.两分钟做个小测试，看看你的英语水平

第四篇：短文欣赏
我是你的拐杖，你是我的眼睛
这是一个苦难的家庭。儿子四岁时，得了骨髓炎，家里花光了所有的积蓄，也没能治好，最后失去了一条腿，成了残疾人；祸不单行，父亲为筹措儿子的医药费，四处打工，在一家小铁矿厂挖矿，一次放炮炸矿石时，发生意外事故，三名工友被炸身亡，溅起的石渣将他的双眼眼球砸破，导致双目失明。这个本来就一贫如洗的家庭，从此陷入更深的绝境，家里惟一的经济来源，是母亲一个人艰难耕种的几亩庄稼。儿子七岁时，村里同龄的孩子都高高兴兴背着书包上学了，儿子也嚷着要读书。母亲哭着对儿子说，学校离家六七里山路，你一条腿怎么走去啊，我要忙地里的活，没有时间送你；爸爸的双眼又瞎了，成了废人，更没办法送你啊。父亲无奈地对儿子说，等你长大了，送你去学门手艺，养活自己。可是，倔强的儿子坚持要上学，儿子说，我将来要考上大学，挣钱养活你们。儿子哭得很伤心。想了想，父亲说，那我每天送你去。
从那天开始，每天，在崇山峻岭的大山里，都会出现这样两个身影：瘸着腿的孩子，一只手拉着双目失明的父亲的手，两个人，艰难地行走在盘曲的山路上。父亲一只手，紧紧地拽着儿子的小手，用劲往上提，他知道这样能让只有一条腿的儿子，走起来稍稍轻松些；看到路上有沟沟坎坎，儿子就会提醒父亲，沟有多宽多深，好让他准确地跳过去。父亲是儿子的拐杖，儿子是父亲的眼睛。
最困难的是雨天，山路又陡又滑，一不小心，就会摔倒。父亲戴着斗笠，穿着很大的雨披，将儿子紧紧地夹在腋下，像母鸡呵护小鸡崽一样。有一次，雨很大，儿子没留意脚下的一块石头，父亲一个趔趄，跌到在地，儿子也跟着摔倒了，两个人在雨水里，滚成了泥猴。父亲爬了起来，循着声音摸到了儿子，将儿子扶了起来。父亲问儿子，痛吗？儿子咬着牙说，不痛。漫天的雨中，父子俩艰难地向学校方向赶去。他们就这样，艰难地走在这条山路上，一走，走了五年多。如今，儿子已经上小学六年级了，他的成绩一直名列前茅。儿子也已经长高了，他不再需要父亲拉着他的手，而是将一只手搭在父亲的肩膀上，那是他最牢靠的拐杖。
人生有太多的苦难，无法看见这个世界，是痛苦的；只能用一条腿支撑人生，是不幸的，可是，如果你看不见这个世界，却有一双陪伴你的眼睛；如果你无法行走，却有一根拐杖让你搀扶，苦难的人生便不再孤独。
