英语短篇小故事故事

第一篇: The wolf and the sheep

A wolf had been badly wounded by dogs.He lay sick and maimed in his lair.He felt very hungry and thirsty.When a sheep passed by, he asked him to fetch some water from the stream.“If you bring me the water,” he said, “I will find means to get some food.”

“Yes,” said the sheep, “if I bring you the water, you would undoubtedly make me your food.” 狼和羊

●狼被狗所咬，伤势很严重，痛苦地躺在巢穴里，不能外出觅食。

●他感到又饿又渴，这时，他看见一只羊，便请求他到附近的小河里为他取一点水来。

●“你给我一点水解渴”，他说，“我就能自己去寻找食物了。”

●“是呀”，羊回答说，“如果我给你送水喝，那么我就会成为你的食物。”

寓意: 谎言是经不起推敲的，它很容易被人们识破。

第二篇: 狐狸和葡萄

One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard.He stopped before a bunch of grapes.They were ripe and juicy.“I'm just feeling thirsty,” he thought.So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes.He walked back.One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes.The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded.At last he decided to give it up.He walked away with his nose in the air, and said“I am sure they are sour.”

●一个炎热的夏日，狐狸走过一个果园，他停在一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。

●狐狸想：“我正口渴呢。”于是他后退了几步，向前一冲，跳起来，却无法够到葡萄。

●狐狸后退又试。一次，两次，三次，但是都没有得到葡萄。

●狐狸试了一次又一次，都没有成功。最后，他决定放弃，他昂起头,边走边说：“葡萄还没有成熟，我敢肯定它是酸的。”

寓意: 在经历了许多尝试而不能获得成功的时候，有些人往往故意轻视成功，以此来寻求心理安慰。

第三篇

●渐渐地，水面升高了。乌鸦高兴地喝到了水。

寓意: 有些东西虽然看起来微不足道，但如果积少成多，便会带来很大变化。

第四篇:青蛙和井

A bird was confined in a cage outside a window.She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.One night a bat came.He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.”

The bat replied, “But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner.” Then he flew away.金丝雀与蝙蝠

●挂在窗口笼里的金丝雀，经常在鸟儿睡着的夜里歌唱。

●蝙蝠说：“你现在才懂得谨慎已没用了，你若在变为囚徒之前就懂得，那该多好呀！”说完就飞走了。

寓意: 我们应该在危险发生之前就提高警觉，因为危险一旦发生，我们再怎样小心也没有用了。

第五篇：英语小故事

A long time ago in China lived the Jade Emperor.It was his birthday.He wanted to measure time to know how old he was.All the animals arrived.The Emperor decided to have a race to give a name to each year of the Chinese Zodiac.The rat and the cat couldn't swim very well.“Can you take us across the river?” “Yes, jump and quick!”

They swam across the river.Then the rat pushed the cat into the water and jumped on to land.”Well done, Rat!The first year will be the Year of the Rat and the second will be the Year of the OX.“

”Look!Here's the tiger.He's very tired.The third year will be the Year of the Tiger.“

”The rabbit can't swim but he's very clever.The fourth year will be the Year of the Rabbit.“

”Why are you late, Dragon? You can fly!“ ”I had to make some rain for thirsty people to drink.“ ”Well done!The fifth year is the Year of the Dragon.“

”What's this? I can hear a horse.No, it's a snake.So the snake has the sixth year.“

”Well done!It is good to see you working together!The goat is eighth, the monkey is ninth and rooster is tenth.“

“Sorry I'm late.The water is clean and I needed a bath.” “ The eleventh is the Year of the Dog.”

These are some crazy and weird superstitions.Feel free to add some more, I know there are so many of them in this world。第一条：数字“13” 01 The number 13.这只是个数字。但是，每逢13号的礼拜五，人们普遍都会焦虑。很多机场没有13号登机口(好吧，你们真的以为12A登机口的乘客们不会发觉吗？)很多宾馆也没有13楼。It’s just a number.Yet, people tweak on Friday the 13th.Many airports don’t have a gate #13.(Like the folks at 12A won’t figure it out。)Many hotels don’t have a floor #13.人们告诉我，这个关于数字13的迷信来自叛徒犹大。他是那个坏信徒，是那个在“最后的晚餐”中第13个坐下的人。我觉得与其迷信13，不如迷信“坏信徒会带来厄运”，这样更理智些。

I was always told that the superstition is based on the idea that Judas, the bad disciple, was the 13th man to sit down to the table at The Last Supper.I think a more rational superstition would be to fear bad disciples。

第二条：在窗边挂一只橡果可以防止被闪电击中。02 An acorn at the window will keep lightning out。唔…真是神奇的橡果啊。That is some acorn.第三条：在新球棒上吐口口水，可以保持好运。

03 Spit on a new bat before using it for the first time to make it lucky.好恶心，好恶心，好恶心！在09年春，由于害怕猪流感的传播，全美的高中禁止运动员们在赛后握手。我很肯定他们也同样禁止了往球棒上吐口水这事儿。

Gross.Gross.Gross.In the spring of 2009, in fear of the Swine Flu, high schools all over the country forbade their athletes from shaking hands after the game.Pretty sure “not spitting on the bat” was implied.此外，从基本物理学的角度来讲，一个被口水润滑过的球棒的摩擦力更小，因此击球打滑的几率更大了…好吧，我真是精神病人思维广啊。

And speaking in terms of basic physics, having a lubricated bat makes for less friction, and therefore, slippery balls … okay, now I’m just out of control.第四条：为了写这篇文章，我得先去拿个蝴蝶研究的博士学位： 04 In order to write this article, I had to get a Ph.D.in butterflies… 蝴蝶出现得比以往早，预示着天气不错。

The early appearance of butterflies indicates fair weather.如果第一只蝴蝶是黄色的，那会是晴天。If the first butterfly is yellow, it will be sunny weather.如果第一只蝴蝶是白色的，那会是雨天。If the first butterfly is white, it will be rainy summer。如果第一只蝴蝶是白色的，会有人去世。If the first butterfly is white, someone will die。如果第一只蝴蝶是红色的，你会很健康。If the first butterfly is red, you will be healthy。

如果飞来了一只白蝴蝶，预示着夏天来了。If a white butterfly comes, summer follows.如果一只白蝴蝶从西南方向飞来，那就要下雨了。If a white butterfly flies from the southwest, expect rain。如果蝴蝶在围栏或树枝的下方飞舞，预示着快下雨了。

If butterflies are found hanging from the underside of rails or branches, it’s going to rain。如果发现它们在小树枝上方，说明不会下雨。If they are on the top of small branches, it will not rain。

如果第一只蝴蝶是深色的，雷雨很快要来了。If the first butterfly is dark, it means thunderstorms。如果第一只蝴蝶是黄色的，有人快生孩子了。

If the first butterfly is yellow, someone is going to give birth。如果一只白蝴蝶进了家里，绕着你不停飞，你将要死去。If a white butterfly enters your house and flies around you, you will die.如果一只蛾子落在新生儿的母亲身上，这个小孩很快便会死去。If a moth lands on the mother of a newborn, the baby will die.如果一只蝴蝶飞进你家，你认识的某人将要死去。

If a butterfly flies into your house, someone you know will die。如果一只蝴蝶飞进你家，说明某人要结婚了。

If a butterfly flies into your house, someone will get married.如果你抓住了一只蝴蝶，你会被车撞死。If you capture a butterfly, you will be struck dead。

如果你在夜晚见到蝴蝶，便将会死去。If you see a butterfly at night, you will die。呼，写完了！很“通俗易懂”吧，嗯？ There!Simple, right? 第五条：如果船上有猫，预示着会有好运。05 A cat onboard a ship is considered to bring luck。

我曾经在船上住过。猫绝对是个累赘。船上的角角落落都是它藏身、大小便的地方；甚至连机械装置都被破坏成了一片片的。有谁会愿意负责清理那些垃圾桶？垃圾桶可不是什么吉祥玩意儿。

I used to live on a ship.A cat would have been a real drag.All of those spaces to hide in, poop in, pee in? All of that machinery to get torn to pieces in? And who exactly would have been in charge of cleaning the litter boxes? Litter boxes are never lucky。第六条：如果三个人一起拍照，中间的那个会最先死掉。

06 If three people are photographed together, the one in the middle will die first。我不知道它是真是假，但这条让我毛骨悚然。

I can’t rationalize it, but this one just gives me the shivers。

第七条：经过墓地的时候，如果你把双手插在兜里，便能保护你的父母。

07 If you stick your hands in your pocket while walking past a graveyard, it will protect your parents。

我不禁好奇：假如我把里兜翻出来会发生什么？或者，假如我脱掉裤子摇摇手臂，又会发生些啥？

Makes me wonder what happens if I turn my pockets inside out.Or, take off my pants and wave my arms around.第八条：搬家的时候不要带走扫帚，它会带来厄运。把它扔了，买个新的。

08 Never take a broom along when you move.It is bad luck.Throw it out and buy a new one。这不是常识吗？用过的扫帚很脏，没法跟亚麻制品放一起啊。这就跟打包带走用过的垃圾桶一样好笑。再说，一把新扫帚只需要两美元。

Isn’t that common sense? A used broom is kind of a nasty thing to box up with the linens.Like packing up used trash cans.A new broom costs like two dollars。第九条：如果蜡烛熄灭，说明附近有邪恶灵魂。09 If a candle blows out, evil spirits are nearby。或者也可能只是有阵风。Or, there’s a draft.第十条：用一根火柴点燃3根香烟，会带来厄运。10 It is bad luck to light three cigarettes with the same match.嗯没错。这个厄运的名字叫“癌症”。Yeah it is.And that bad luck is called cancer.第十一条：当你站在一个圈内，邪恶的灵魂便伤害不到你。11 Evil spirits can’t harm you when you stand inside a circle.哦，难怪有些人会戴着呼啦圈在街上走来走去啊！

Oh, that explains all those people walking up and down the street wearing hula hoops。第十二条：如果捡起的硬币反面朝上，则会带来厄运；正面朝上会带来好运。12 It’s bad luck to pick up a coin if it’s tails side up.Good luck comes if it’s heads up。在当前经济形势下，就算会带来厄运我也不会放过地上那个硬币的。In this economy, a little bad luck is worth the nickel.第十三条：呃，我是不是该命名它为第12A条？ 13 – oops, should I have called this one #12A? 家里发现蟋蟀，会有好运。

A cricket in the house brings good luck.也会有蟋蟀粪便啊亲。It will also bring cricket poop。

第十四条：假如你右手掌发痒，说明很快就能获得一笔钱；假如你左手掌痒，说明你很快要付出去一笔钱。If the palm of your right hand itches, it means you will soon be getting money.If the palm of your left hand itches, it means you will soon be paying out money.假如你两只手都痒，那我建议你还是去医院检查一下吧。

If the palm of either of your hands is itching, you might want to get that checked。第十五条：如果爱人送了一把小刀作为礼物，说明爱情很快会结束。15 A knife as a gift from a lover means that the love will soon end。谁会送自己爱人一把刀啊！送玫瑰送巧克力不都行嘛？真是有毛病啊！Who gives their lover a knife for a gift? What happened to roses or chocolate? Creepy!还有： and 分娩的时候，在枕头下放把刀能减轻分娩疼痛。

A knife placed under the bed during childbirth will ease the pain of labor.如果我是那个孕妇，我会更紧张的。

If I were the impregnator, I would be very nervous。第十六条：汤太咸，说明那个厨子恋爱了。16 Salty soup is a sign that the cook is in love。

随便走进一家百货店，随便拿起一个罐头看看它的盐分含量吧。你会发现世界简直充满了爱了！

Check the sodium content on any can in any grocery store and feel good about how much love there is in the world。

第十七条：如果三只海鸥一起从你头上直直飞过，预示着死亡很快会降临。17 Three seagulls flying together, directly overhead, are a warning of death soon to come.也预示着你头顶会有一泡屎。Or poop on your head。

第十八条：打喷嚏的时候，用手捂住你的嘴，可以防止灵魂外逃。Place a hand in front of your mouth when sneezing so that your soul cannot escape。现在他们又叫我们往胳肢窝里打喷嚏了。我真为那些被喷进胳肢窝的灵魂感到惋惜。Now they tell us to sneeze into our armpits.I’ve got to feel sorry for any soul that gets sneezed into an armpit。

第十九条：右手掌有几个“X”，预示着你会有几个孩子。The number of Xs in the palm of your right hand is the number of children you will have。我数了一下。嗯，我会有47个孩子。I counted.I will have 47 children。

第二十条：新娘必须被抱着进入洞房，因为要是她摔跤了，那可就大难临头了。20 A new bride must be carried over the threshold because it’s bad luck if she falls。呃，我一直以为这是因为新娘之前喝太多了，才被抱进去的。I always thought it was because she was hammered from the reception。
