第一篇:中英文寓言小故事
A man was going to the house of some rich person.As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road.He said, “I do not want to eat those apples;for the rich man will give me much food;he will give me very nice food to eat.” Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.He went on and came to a river.The river had become very big;so he could not go over it.He waited for some time;then he said, “I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river.” He began to go home.He had eaten no food that day.He began to want food.He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.Do not throw good things away;you may be glad to have them at some other time.【译文】 一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去,当他沿着路走时,在路的一边他发现一箱好贫饮,他说:“我不计划吃那些贫饮,因为富人会给我更多的食物,他会给我特别好吃的东西。”接着他拿起贫饮,一把扔到土里去。他继续走,来到河边,河涨水了,因此,他到不了河对岸,他等了一会儿,接着他说:“今天我去不了富人家了,因为我不能度过河。” 他开始回家,那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的,他找到贫饮,特别开心地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。不要把好东西扔掉,换个时候你会觉得它们大有效果处。
Fox and cock One morning a fox sees a cock.He think,“This is my breakfast.'' He comes up to the cock and says,”I know you can sing very well.Can you sing for me?''The cock is glad.He closes his eyes and begins to sing.The fox sees that and caches him in his mouth and carries him away.The people in the field see the fox.They cry,“Look,look!The fox is carrying the cock away.''The cock says to the fox,”Mr Fox,do you understand?The people say you are carrying their cock away.Tell them it is yours.Not theirs.'' The fox opens his mouth ang says,“The cock is mine,not yours.''Just then the cock runs away from the fox and flies into the tree.【译文】狐狸和公鸡 一天早上,一只狐狸看到了一侄耀鸡。他想:这是我的早餐。他朝公鸡走来,对他说:“我知道,你能唱得很好听,你能唱给我听么?”公鸡特别开心。他闭上眼睛开始唱歌。狐狸看到这些抓住它放到自己的嘴里走了。在田地里的人们看到了狐狸。大喊大叫:“看,看!狐狸抓住公鸡逃走了。”公鸡对狐狸说:“狐狸先生,你能理解么?人们认为你叼走了公鸡。告诉他们这是你的,不是他们的。” 狐狸张开她的嘴说:“公鸡是我的,不是你们的。”就在那时。公鸡跑到了树底下。
The Old Cat An old woman had a cat.The cat was very old;she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old.One day the old cat saw a mouse;she jumped and caught the mouse.But she could not bite it;so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse.She began to hit the cat.The cat said, ”Do not hit your old servant.I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old.Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young.“
【译文】 老猫 一位老妇有只猫,这只猫特别老,它跑不快了,也咬不了东西,因为它年纪太大了。一天,老猫发现一只老鼠,它跳过去抓这只老鼠,然而,它咬不住这只老鼠。因此,老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了,因为老猫咬不了它。于是,老妇特别生气,因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫,猫说:“不要打你的老仆人,我已经为你服务了特别多年,还而且愿意为你效劳,但是,我实在太老了,对年纪大的不要这么无情,要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse Once there were two mice.They were friends.One mouse lived in the country;the other mouse lived in the city.After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse;he said, ”Do come and see me at my house in the country.“ So the City mouse went.The City mouse said, ”This food is not good, and your house is not good.Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city.You would live in a nice house made of stone.You would have nice food to eat.You must come and see me at my house in the city.“ The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse.It was a very good house.Nice food was set ready for them to eat.But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise.The City mouse cried, ” Run!Run!The cat is coming!“ They ran away quickly and hid.After some time they came out.When they came out, the Country mouse said, ”I do not like living in the city.I like living in my hole in the field.For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid.“
【译文】 城里老鼠和乡下老鼠 从前,有两只老鼠,它们是好好友。一只老鼠居住在乡村,另一只住在城里。特别多年以后,乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠,它说:“你一定要来我乡下的家瞧瞧。”于是,城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把全部最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说:“这东西不好吃,你的家也不好,你为啥住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住,你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子,而且会吃上美味佳肴,你应该到我城里的家瞧瞧。” 乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮,好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候,听见特别大的一阵响声,城里的老鼠叫喊起来:“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。过了一会儿,他们出来了。当他们出来时,乡下老鼠说:“我不喜欢住在城里,我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在,比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说,要好些。”

希腊神话]厄洛斯(丘比特)Eros(Cupid)
Eros was the god of love,better known by hislatin name Cupid.Son of Aphrodite by Ares,he took his place among the small gods of Olympus.He was represented asa little naked boy,with sparkling wings,and he carried his bowand arrows wherever he wandered.Shooting his thrilling arrows in evils,he inspired the passion of love and provided all nature with life and power of reproduction.The lovely,naughty god had two kinds of arrows:the gold tipped arrows used to quicken the pulse of love and the lead tipped ones to palsy it. Besides,he had a torch to light hearts with.
Though sometimes he was blindfolded,no man nor god,Zeus himself included,was safe from his evils.At one time the little naughty god was wounded by his own arrows and suchburning love was awakened in him for the human maiden Psyche that he disregarded the constant interference of his mother and plucked up his courage to beg Zeus for justice.Another famousstory where Eros played an important part was the Argonautic expedition.Medea,daughter of king Aeetes,was wounded by Eros' arrows,took Jason's part in recovering the golden fleece and eventually became the hero's wife.
【译文】厄洛斯是爱神,它的拉丁名称丘比特更为人熟知。他是阿瑞斯和阿芙罗狄蒂的儿子,是一位小奥林波斯山神。他的形象是一个裸体的小男孩,有一对闪闪发光的翅膀。他带着弓箭漫游。他恶作剧地射出令人震颤的神箭,唤起爱的激情。给自然界带来生机,授予万物繁衍的能力。这位可爱而又淘气的小精灵有两种神箭:加快爱情产生的金头神箭和中止爱情的铅头神箭。另外,他还有一束照亮心灵的火炬。
尽管有时他被蒙着眼睛,但没有任何人或神,包括宙斯在内,能逃避他的恶作剧。有一次这位淘气的精灵被自己的箭射中。对人间少女普赛克炽热的爱在他心中复苏,以致于他不顾他母亲的干预,鼓起勇气让宙斯给予公正评判。厄洛斯起了重大作用的另一个著名的故事是亚尔古英雄的远征。美狄亚,国王埃厄忒斯的女儿,被厄洛斯的神箭射中,和伊阿宋一起寻觅金羊毛,最后成为这位英雄的妻子。

1.Making His Mark “刻舟求剑”
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly.Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later.When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not.Isn’t this a very foolish way to look for a sword? 楚国有个人坐船渡江时,他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀,在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后,那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢?船继续行驶,而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑,真是太愚蠢可笑了。
2.To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow “拔苗助长”
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice.After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow.He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly.Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch.The next early morning, the young man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.从前,有个农夫,种了稻苗(seedlings)后,便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田时,都发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢。他等得很不耐烦。想了又想,他终于想到一个“最佳方法”,他将稻苗全都拔高了几分。第二天,一早起身,他迫不及待地去稻田看他的“成果”。哪知,却看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。

3.Plugging One’s Ears While Stealing a Bell “掩耳盗铃”
Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor’s doorbell.However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people’s attention as long as he touched the bell.So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever “idea”.He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell.Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief.从前,有一个人想偷邻居门上的铃,但是他知道一碰到铃,铃就会响起来,被人发现。他想啊想,终于他想出一个“妙极”,他把自己的耳朵用东西塞起来,就听不见铃声了。但是当他去偷铃时,铃声仍旧响起来,他被别人当场抓住
4.The Fox and the Crow
“狐狸和乌鸦”
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth.At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat.However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent.Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing.As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.有一天,一只乌鸦站在窝旁的树枝上嘴里叼着一片肉,心里非常高兴。这时候,一只狐狸看见了乌鸦,馋得直流口水,非常想得到那片肉。但是,无论狐狸说什么,乌鸦就是不理睬狐狸。最后,狐狸赞美乌鸦的嗓音最优美,并要求乌鸦唱几句让他欣赏欣赏。乌鸦听了狐狸赞美的话,得意极了,就唱起歌来。没想到,肉一掉下来,狐狸就叼起肉,钻回了洞
5.Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It “画蛇添足”
Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself.So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the
/ 12
ground and the man who finished first would have the wine.One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake.However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, “Who has ever seen a snake with feet?” The story of ”Draw a snake and add feet to It.” tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.古时几个人分一壶酒。他们都想独自喝完那壶酒,所以就定了一个规矩:每人在地上画一条蛇,谁画得最快,这壶酒就归谁。有一个人很快就把蛇画好了。他正打算喝这壶酒时,看见别人都还在忙着画,就决定给蛇再画上几只脚。结果,他的蛇脚还没加完,另一个人已经把蛇画好了。那人一下把酒壶夺了过去,说:“有谁见过长脚的蛇?”。这个故事告诉我们这样的道理:做得过分和做得不够都是不对的
6.郭氏之墟
On a vacation trip, Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi , which perished long ago.Seeing the desolate and bleak prospects of broken tiles, collapsed walls, and clusters of weeds, he could not help asking the local people about the reason of the ruin of Guo Shi.They replied,“Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds, and averse to evildoing, which led to the perdition.”
When the Duke could not understand the answer, people explained ,“ Though he liked doing good, he had never been able to do so;though he hated evildoing, never could he help not participating.That caused the ruin of his capital.”
齐桓公出游途中,来到已经灭亡许久的郭氏都城的废墟。
看到瓦砾残垣、杂草丛生的萧条景象,忍不住问当地百姓郭氏灭亡的原因。
百姓们回答说:“郭氏由于喜爱善行善事。厌恶邪恶丑行而导致灭亡。”
齐桓公不能理解这种回答,百姓们便解释说:“郭氏虽然喜爱善行善事,但从来都不能做到;尽管厌恶邪恶丑行,却总是忍不住参与其中。这就是他的都城变成废墟的原因。”

7.老鼠和公牛
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing.The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard.The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall.The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole.After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again--this time on the nose--and rushed back to safety.As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked: “It's not always the big people who come off best.Sometimes the small ones win, you know.”
有一次,公牛躺着打盹,一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒气冲冲地跳起来,低着头追老鼠,一直追过院子。然而,老鼠跑得比他快多了,从容地钻到墙洞里去了。
公牛一次又一次地猛撞墙壁,尽管头撞肿了,角撞裂了,老鼠却安然待在洞里。过了一会儿,公牛不撞了,倒下歇着。
公牛刚睡着,小老鼠就爬到洞口,嗒嗒地跑过院子,又咬了公牛一口 ?? 这回咬了鼻子 ?? 又跑回安全的地方去。当公牛毫无办法地吼叫时,老鼠吱吱叫道:
“大人物并不总占上风。有时小人物也会取胜。”
8.男孩和荨麻
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.” “It stung you because you only touched it lightly,” his mother told him.“ Next time you touch a nettle grasp it as tightly as you can.Then it won't sting you at all.”
Face danger boldly.有个男孩子在地里玩耍,被荨麻刺痛了。他跑回家去,告诉妈妈出了什么事。
/ 12
“我不过轻轻地碰了它一下,”他说,“那讨厌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。”
要敢于面对危险。
9.鹦鹉和猫
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.”
Different people are valued for different things.从前,有人买了一只毛色鲜艳的鹦鹉。他没有把鹦鹉关在笼子里,也没有用链条把他拴在栖木上,而让他在家里自由自在地飞来飞去。鹦鹉对此非常高兴,扑动翅膀,从一间屋子飞到另一间屋子,愉快地尖声叫着,最后停在华丽的帷幔的边上。
“你到底是谁?”从下面传来怒气冲冲的说话声,“马上住嘴,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,“我不知道你在这儿干什么,可我知道我的活儿。主人为了我的声音才买我,我一定得让他听到。” 不同的人因有不同的特点而受重视。

10.一捆树枝
A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another.He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him.One day he decided to show them what he meant.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,如果他们一起干活儿,生活会舒适得多,但他们丝毫不理会他的意见。有一天,他决定通过示范把自己的意思告诉他们。
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,一定要各行其是,那么你们一遇到敌人,就会被打败。” 合则存,分则败。

11.狼和驴
A wolf once met a donkey on the road outside the village.“I 'm going to eat you up, ”said the wolf.“Certainly, ” replied the donkey, thinking fast.“But please don't eat me out here on the road where everyone can see.I shall be so ashamed.Take me into the forest.Don't be afraid that I shall try to escape.Here, tie this rope round your neck and fasten it to my bridle.Then I will lead you to a quiet spot I know.”
The wolf thought this was a good idea so he fastened the rope round his neck and knotted it firmly to the donkey's bridle.“Now I will go wherever you say, ” said the donkey.“Show me the way to your quiet spot , ” ordered the wolf.“Very well,” said the donkey, setting off down the road towards the village.As they came to the first houses the wolf began to suspect that he had been tricked.“This is not the way to the forest, ” he said, tugging at his end of the rope.“This road goes to the village.”
“Don't worry,” said the donkey cheerfully , “This is a short cut.”
The donkey began to trot faster , then to gallop.The rope round the wolf's neck drew tight;in a very short time he was dragged right up to the donkey's door.The master, his wife and their three sons all came running out to rescue the donkey.They were so angry that they would have killed the wolf there and then.Fortunately for the wolf , however , one of the sons threw a knife at him.The knife missed , but it cut the rope round his neck.The next moment all the family could see was a cloud of dust in the road as the wolf fled to safety in the dark forest.If you keep your head you will be all right.有一回,狼在村外的路上碰见驴。
“我要把你吃掉。”狼说。
“当然可以,”驴灵机一动,回答说,“但请不要在这条路上吃,人人都会看见的,我会感到难为情。把我带到森林里去吧。别担心我们会逃跑。喏,把这根绳子一头饶在你脖子上,一头拴在我的缰绳上,然后我把你带到一个我熟悉的安
/ 12
静的地方去。” 狼认为这是个好主意,于是把绳子饶在脖子上,把另一头牢牢系在驴缰绳上。
“现在你说到什么地方去,我就到什么地方去。”驴说。
“带我到你说的那个安静的地方去。”狼吩咐道。
“很好。”驴说着,就沿通向村子的路走去。他们来到头几所房子附近时,狼怀疑自己受骗上当了。
“这不是到森林去的路,”他使劲拉绳子的一头说,“这条路是到村子里去的。” “别着急,”驴高兴地说,“这是一条近路。” 驴加快了步子,接着跑起来。套在狼脖子上的绳子抽紧了;一会儿功夫,就把狼拉到驴的家门口。
驴的主人、主人的妻子和三个儿子都跑出来救驴。他们非常生气,要立即就地把狼打死。不过,狼很幸运,主人的一个儿子拿刀砍狼,没砍着,却把套在狼脖子上的绳子砍断了。转眼之间,这一家子看到路上尘土飞扬,狼安然逃向黑暗的树林里去了。
保持镇静,就没问题。
12.野猪和狐狸
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.”
“Quite true, ”said the boar, “but when the hunter does come with his dogs I shall be too busy running away to have time for this.So let me sharpen my tusks while I can.” Be prepared.有一天,野猪在树上磨牙齿,狐狸走过来。
“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,“但是,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。趁我现在可以磨,就让我磨磨牙齿吧。” 时刻准备着(有备无患)

13.燕雀处室
The swallows and sparrows are very pleased to find a place on the roof of the hall for their nests.The mother birds are feeding their babies with pleasure, which assumes a scene of peace and harmony.But they have never thought of the following scene: the chimney at the top of the kitchen might break, the fire might leap up to the roof and the burning purling might destroy their nests.But those swallows and sparrows are unmindful of the coming disaster.They go on with their superficial happiness brought by peace and calm.燕雀为拥有屋顶下面的一个位置而欣慰不已。
母鸟用叼来的食物喂养啁啾鸣叫的幼鸟,整个儿是一派欢乐自得的祥和景象。
它们完全没有考虑到:炉灶上的烟囱有可能会炸裂,火苗将会窜上屋梁,烧着的椽 将会摧毁它们的巢穴。
不知大祸将要降临到自己头上的燕雀们正在安然自若地品味这表面上的安宁所带来的幸福。
14.山
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 come 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.10 / 12
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么回事。
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,山坡上终于裂开一条小缝,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。
15.A Smart Tortoise聪明的乌龟
A tiger is hungry, he is looking for food.He sees a frog in front of him.“Ha ha!A frog!My dinner!” so he rushes at the frog.Behind the tiger, there is a tortoise.The little tortoise sees it;he bites the tiger’s tail.“Ouch!” cries the tiger and he looks back.The frog hears the voice and jumps into water.“Thank you, little tortoise.” says the frog.But the tiger is very angry.“Bother it!I’ll throw you to the sky!” “Thank you, I like flying in the sky,” says the tortoise.The tiger stops, “I will throw you into the river.”
“Oh,no!I can’t swim;I will die if you throw me into the water.” The tiger threw the tortoise into the water quickly.“Thank you, Mr.Tiger.Bye-bye.” The tortoise and the frog swim away together.一只老虎很饥饿,他正在寻找食物。他看到一只青蛙在他前面。“哈哈!一只青蛙,我有晚餐啦!”于是,他补向青蛙。
在老虎的后边,有一只乌龟。小乌龟看见了,他猛咬一下啊老虎的尾巴。“哎呦!”老虎疼得叫起来并回头看看。此时青蛙听见了老虎的声音,他迅速跳进水里。
“谢谢你,小乌龟。”青蛙说。

大事老虎十分愤怒:“讨厌!我要把你扔到天上去。” “谢谢你,我喜欢在天空飞翔。”乌龟说。老虎停下来:“那我就把你扔到到水里。”
“哦,不!我不会游泳,如果你把我扔井水里我会死的。”老虎很快就把乌龟仍进水了。
“谢谢你,老虎先生,再见!”乌龟和青蛙一起游走了。/ 12

晋国的中行寅面临大敌,家族就要被人灭亡了。他急忙找来给自己负责祭祀的太祝,准备问罪处罚他。
他怒气冲冲地询问太祝:“你为我祭祀,肯定祭品不肥厚,斋戒时也不诚心。结果现在触怒了天上的神灵,导致我亡国,你为什么要这样呢?”
太祝简回答道:“原来的君主行密子,只有十乘车。可他并不觉得太少,只是担心自己的德行不够,生怕有一点儿过错。现在您已经有了战车百乘,您却不仅不担心自己的没有道义德行,只是嫌战车太少。您就知道多造战车战船,这样势必增加了对百姓的赋税。赋税劳役一多,百姓自然不满意,对您诅咒责骂。而您以为真的光靠向上天祈祷,就可以为家族带来福运吗?民心不服,上下都背离您,咒骂您,您也会灭亡。您只指望我为您的祈祷祝福,然而全国都咒骂您,我一个人的颂扬祝福能比得过全国人的诅咒责骂吗?您的家族面临灭亡难道不是十分自然的事情吗?我又有什么罪过呢?”
中行寅听了太祝简的话感到万分羞愧。
中行寅行将灭亡不去寻找自己的原因,反而责备太祝。他哪里知道,其实他灭亡恰恰是因为自己的贪奢引起民心不满。
经典寓言小故事2
有一年,魏国的东阳地方向国家交售的钱粮布帛比往年多出10倍,为此,满朝廷的大臣高兴得不得了,一齐向魏文侯表示祝贺。
魏文侯对这件事并不乐观。他在思考:东阳这个地方土地没有增加、人口也还是原来那么多,怎么一下子比往年多交10倍的钱粮布帛呢?即使是丰收了,可是向国家上交也是有比例的呀。他分析这必定是各级官员向下面老百姓加重征收得来的。这件事使他想起了一年前他遇到的一件事。
一年前,魏文候外出巡游。一天,他在路上见到一个人将羊皮统子反穿在身上,皮统子的毛向内皮朝外,那人还在背上背着一篓喂牲口的草。
魏文侯感到很奇怪,便上前问那人道:“你为什么要反穿着羊皮衣,把皮板露在外面来背东西呢?”
那人回答说:“我很爱惜这件皮衣,我怕把毛露在外面搞坏了,特别是背东西时,我怕毛被磨掉了。”
魏文侯听了,很认真地对那人说:“你知道吗?其实皮板更重要,如果皮板磨破了,毛就没有依附的地方了,那你想舍皮保毛不是一个错误的想法吗?”
那人依然执迷不悟地背着草走了。
如今,官吏们大肆征收老百姓的钱粮布帛而不顾老百姓的死活,这跟那个反穿皮衣的人的行为不是一样的吗?
于是,魏文侯将朝廷大臣们召集起来,对他们讲了那个反穿皮衣的人的故事,并语重心长地开导他们说:“皮之不存,毛将焉附?如果老百姓不得安宁,国君的地位也难以巩固。希望你们记住这个道理,不要被一点小利蒙蔽了眼光,看不到实质。”
众大臣深受启发。任何事情都是一样的道理,基础是根本,是事物赖以存在的依据,如果本末颠倒,那将是得不偿失的。
经典寓言小故事3
大森林里有一条弯弯的小溪,清澈的溪水中时常有鱼儿飞快地游过。黑熊站在奔腾的激流中,一会就捉到了一条大鱼。狐狸看着黑熊鱼篓中活蹦乱跳的大鱼,十分羡慕,心里想,黑熊并不聪明,视力又不怎么好,居然能够捉到大鱼,说明捕鱼很容易。他觉得自己聪明、机灵,一定能够抓到很多大鱼。狐狸满怀信心地跨入小溪中,开始捕鱼。
狐狸在冰冷的溪水中站了一会,觉得双脚又冷又酸,十分难受。他见旁边有一块露出水面的大石头,走过去蹲在石头上面。狐狸想,蹲在石头上捕鱼,比站在冰冷的水中捕鱼舒服多了。他看着站在溪水中捕鱼的黑熊,觉得他太笨了。突然,狐狸发现一条鱼儿从水中游过,急忙伸手去抓,没有抓到。后来,狐狸好久都没有见鱼经过,就打起了瞌睡,梦见自己捕捉到许多大鱼。
黑熊看到一条大鱼飞快游过,“扑通”一声猛扑进水里,全身都浸在冰冷的溪水中。经过一番追逐,黑熊终于把大鱼抓住了,一边把大鱼高高举起,一边哈哈大笑起来。狐狸被惊醒了,睁开眼睛一看,原来黑熊又捉到了一条大鱼。狐狸的肚子已经饿得“咕噜咕噜”直叫,见了黑熊的大鱼,口水滴答滴答不停地往下流,无奈地叹了一口气,对黑熊说:“你的运气好,大鱼都往你那边游。我的运气不好,只看到一条游得特别快的鱼,没有抓到。我比你聪明、机灵得多,没有想到你已经抓到了两条大鱼,我却连一条小鱼也没有捕捉到,真是倒霉!”
黑熊对狐狸说:“我一直站在溪水中聚精会神盯着水中是否有鱼儿游过,累了也不休息。一旦发现有鱼儿游过,就不顾一切地扑上去抓住它。你舒舒服服蹲在石头上,还打瞌睡,怎么能捉到鱼呢?光有聪明和机灵是不够的,没有踏实苦干的精神,有了好的捕鱼机会也会白白失去啊!”
机遇是重要的,但刻苦是关键:自己不刻苦,机遇再多也没用。

曾霞学习心得:一日参观莲池幼儿园心得体会
2012年3月9日第十二组
3月9日在国培教育教师的带领下,全组教师参观了“莲池幼儿园”。幼园独具特色,对我影响较深的是园领导的管理能力、研究创新精神、幼儿园的环境创设、区域活动的开设、家长工作等等,都为我们今后的工作提供很好的借鉴,所有这些,让我感触颇深,受益匪浅。
我们首先参观了莲池儿园的北楼,这所幼儿园给我印象最深的是环境创设方面,根据教学楼的外观结合童话故事进行彩绘,使教学楼融入了童话故事,成为了孩子们欢乐地城堡,他们合理利用当地资源,就地取材,合理利用废旧物品,教室里有活动区,休息区等。特别是他们的小班教室结合四季的主题进行彩绘,深受大家的喜爱。
教学环境在幼儿的生活、教育中起着重要的作用,是幼儿活动中不可分割的一部份现在,人们把幼儿园环境的创设提高到了更重要的位置,被誉为“孩子的第三任老师”!这使我们又一次重新认识了幼教工作的重心。环境创设也是不可忽视的一部分。
环境是重要的教育资源,我们通过环境的创设和资源利用,使幼儿园具有丰富多彩的文化氛围,使之更有效地促进幼儿的发展,让他们受到文明的熏陶和发展。环境能够促进幼儿的发展,让他们主动参与幼儿园的环境创设,这是一种互动效应,幼儿自然而然的受到了启迪和教育!
幼儿园依托于操作材料、情境和相应的活动中的特点拿捏的很到位,因材、因地制宜的结合了本园特点,既尊重了幼儿的个体差异,又满足了幼儿个体发展的需要。对于环境和班级的创设,他们通过自身与环境的相互作用而实现对周围环境的感知,有效地利用废旧物品,而墙面环境的创设符合了各个年龄段幼儿心理发展的需求。各个年龄段的创设紧紧围绕“科学”多面的铺展而来。班级家园环境创设又结合幼儿年龄特点进行的较有特色。
总之,通过参观学习,使我体会很深,使我不断的在思考怎样的环境创设更加的贴近于生活,贴近于孩子,更加的新颖、有效。同时也提醒自己在今后的工作中要把工作做细,乐于、善于发现身边的一切美好的事物,紧紧围绕“美”,让孩子充分的领路和感知一切事物的美好之所在,大自然的造物之美、之妙!
让我们用心灵去感知孩子的内心世界!用灵动的双手去描绘孩子的童话王国!用会意的眼神去捕捉孩子的精彩瞬间!用心去奏响那份共同的弦乐---爱!爱的阳光洒满人间,心得教育启迪人生。
第五篇:短篇廉政寓言小故事
短篇廉政寓言小故事
第一则饭碗
有个年轻人考上了公务员,如释重负、欣喜欲狂。
任职报到的那天早上,不知怎的把饭碗打坏了,他懊恼不已,对着那个被打破的瓷饭碗说:
“我现在刚拿到„铁饭碗‟,你就开始妒嫉了?要给我一点颜色看看?”
“这不能怪我!”那破瓷饭碗回答说。
“那么,不怪你就得怪我了?”
“当然!你看看你自己吧,——刚考上了公务员就放弃了自己的学习计划,以后不管是什么钢铁做成的饭碗也会砸碎的!”
第二则樱花
樱花盛开的时节,刮了一天的大风,樱花的花瓣漫天飞舞,犹如纷飞的大雪,掉的到处都是,地上像铺了一层薄薄的花毯。
这场“樱花雪”后,那些樱花树顿失风采,瞬间结束了一年中最美丽的时光。它们哀叹,诅咒,埋怨……。当它们发现附近那些松树依然苍翠、生气蓬勃时,就惊异地问:
“面对这场大风潮,你们松树为什么还能保持原来的挺拔和俏丽?”
“因为——我们从不追求浮华的美好!”松树们笑而答道。
第三则升官
某甲连升三级、青云直上。
某乙连连叹息,埋三怨四,逢人便说:“论胡子,我比他长;论资格,我比他老;论身体,我比他棒;论学历,我比高……他凭什么比我幸运?还坐上了单位的第一把交椅?”
他成天想着,吃不下饭,睡不好觉。有一天,他神思恍惚地来到郊野,突然猛地击掌三声、仰天大喊:“天哪!这是为什么?为什么?为什么?……”喊得行云振荡,惊鸟四飞,山鸣谷应。
谁知天上真的有人答话了:“听着,我是史蒂夫*乔布斯!你想当领袖人物吗?就别做跟风者!记住:领袖人物和跟风者的区别,就是„创新‟二字!”
第四则地标
有个地方叫“三棵树”,就是因为那里有三棵挺拔高大的树而出了名,成了这个地方的地标。
却说另有一个地方到处是树林,可是树木再多、长得再高再大也没有出名。
那地方的官吏想:我把这些树林砍了变成农田,仅留下四棵大树,将这里更名为“四棵树”,从此成为新地标,这也能让自己出出名,留芳后世呢!
谁知,树木被砍光了,从此这里水土流失,生态遭到严重破坏,年年闹灾荒,那些官吏适得其反,遭人唾骂,成了遗臭后世的罪人。
第五则胡子
主人用电动剃须刀刮胡子,两根胡子逃之夭夭、喜不自胜。隔了三天,主人又用剃须刀刮胡子时,它们又劫后余生。这两根胡子欢天喜地,互相祝福。
一根胡子说:“苍天在上,咱俩可谓„时也运也命也‟!”
另一根胡子也说:“所言极是,咱俩„福大命大造化大‟!”
没料又过了三天之后,主人手拿着镜子,一眼就发现了这两根凸显的胡子,便对它们大喝一声:“哈!你们今天还能逃过我的手心吗?”
一根胡子听了魂飞魄散,急忙抗争:“我命大命大命大……”
另一根胡子听了胆战心惊,拼命大叫:“我福大福大福大……”
谁知主人却充耳不闻,将电动剃须刀对准这两根胡子垂直按下,还不到一秒钟,两根胡子便哑口无言,立刻不见踪影。
第六则臆断
有人讨嫌黑色而偏爱白色。他以为黑色令人忧伤,会带来厄运,断定前景暗淡;白色让人明朗,会引向光明,必定前程似锦。
有一次,他在野外发现了一窝白色的蚂蚁,乳白剔透,像玉一样可爱,就把它们带回家里放养起来。谁知几年后,他的木楼倒塌了……
——不科学的主观臆断与麻木决策,或许就是灾祸的源头。
第七则正气
由于山体滑坡,一棵树被压在一块巨石下面直不起腰来,可是它的树头依然挺拔向上生长。有个行人见了好奇地问:
“你遭到这样的不幸,为什么还能向上生长?”
“因为我浑身充满正气。”那树回答说。
“有了正气就能向上生长吗?”
“当然,”树说,“有正气就会产生正能量!有了正能量就能顶住任何压力,战胜狂风暴雨,天天向上生长,最终实现自己的梦想!”
第八则牙膏
漱口杯对一支看上去已用完了的牙膏说:
“你真幸运,要是别人,早已把你丢进垃圾筒里了!”
“是啊!”牙膏欣慰地说,“物尽其用嘛!这下我可以完全彻底为人类服务了。”
“其实这也没有多大意义和必要,他最多可以再用几天。挤了又挤,再挤也挤也挤不出多少人民币来!”
“人民币倒是其次的,这可是一种好习惯呀!”
漱口杯笑着又说,“太抠门了吧!这个公务员收入也不错,就这么一点绳头小利也不肯丢弃,爱捡这种小芝麻,将来的他会有出息吗?”
“我倒不这么看。”牙膏认真地说,“习惯把小事做好、做彻底、做完美的人才能做大事,他将来必定前途无量!”
第九则歪镜
世上有不少标准和道理是歪的,有些镜子也是这样。在一个宽敞的大厅里,放着一面高大的试衣镜。有个女士拉着她丈夫的手说:
“我们也去照照镜子,好吗?”
“不好不好!”丈夫连连摇头回答。
“这有什么不好?”
“你沒有发现这镜子沒有摆正,歪得那么厉害吗?”
“这有什么关系?一个堂堂正正的君子,即使在歪镜前面,他的影子也是端正的呀!”
第十则断臂
医生将一个断臂的患者紧急处置之后脱离了生命危险。
患者苏醒过来之后,有医生问:
“你坐在火车里面好好的,又怎么会把手臂截断了呢?”
“那是在漆黑的夜里,我打开车窗时,发现外面正下着„金币雨‟,于是我就不由自主地把手伸了出去,想抓到那些金币。”患者说。
医生听了连连咂嘴,说:“你真是太不幸了!以后无论见到什么好处或者诱惑,千万不要随便伸手啊!尤其是在那些黑暗的地方!”
