  英语寓言故事及翻译篇1

物以类聚

Once, Chun Yukun recommended seven able and virtuous scholars to King Xuan of the State of Qi. King Xuan was surprised and said: "I heard that talented people are hard to find. If one able and virtuous scholar can be found within a circumference of 1, 000 li, it cannot be regarded as few. If 100 years witnesses the advent of a saint, it cannot be regarded as few. Now you recommend seven able and virtuous scholars all at once, then there are too many able and virtuous scholars."

Chun Yukun said: "Birds of the same feather always flock together. Wild beasts of the same kind always walk together. For example, if we wish to find medicinal herbs like the root of Chinese thorowax and the root of balloonflower on the marsh, we will never find even one in our whole life. But if we go to the north side of the Zeshu Mountain and the Liangfu Mountain, we will need carts to carry them back. In the world, things of the same kind always gather together, and it is the same with people. If you want me to select able and virtuous scholars, it will be like getting water from the river, or getting fire from a flint. What is so strange about that? I am going to recommend another big batch of able and virtuous scholars to you, far more than these seven."

一次,厚于凳给齐宣王推荐了七名贤士。齐宣王觉得奇怪,说:“我听说,人才是很难得的。在一千里方圆以内,能选到一名贤士,就不算少了;一百年以内,能发现一个圣人,也不算少了。你一次就推荐了七名贤士,贤士也太多了。”

淳于凳说:“同类的鸟总是聚集在一起,同类的野兽也总是一道行走。比如说,我们要寻找柴胡和桔梗这类药草,到沼泽地去找,就是找一辈子也找不到一株;但是如果到泽黍山、梁父山的北面去找,那就要用大车去拉了。天下的事物都是同类相聚的,人也是这样。你要我淳于凳挑选贤士,就好比到河里去打水,用火石去打火一样,有什么好奇怪的呢?我正准备再给你推荐一大批贤士,何止这七个呢!”

狗阻告状

In a village, a dog often shitted by the side of a well.

Several tens of families in the whole village drew water from the well. They all hated the dog, and wanted to tell its master to have it kept under control.

But whenever the people who wanted to lodge a complaint against it came near the gate of its master's house, the dog would pounce upon them, barking and biting, which frightened them so much that no one dared to come to the house.

It seems that people who are afraid to have their shortcomings revealed are probably like this dog, always trying to block the way so that others dare not lodge complaints against it.

一个村子里,有条狗常常在井台边上拉屎。

全村几十户人家,都在这口井里打水。大家都讨厌这条狗,很想把这事告诉狗的主人,让主人把狗管住。

可是,每次当告状的人走近这位主人的大门的时候,这条狗就扑上来又叫又咬,吓得谁也不敢上门。

看来,凡是怕别人揭发自己缺点的人,大概也跟这条狗一样,总要挡住别人,使人们不敢告它的状。

狐假虎威

One day, a big tiger was looking for food in a dense forest. A fox happened to scurry by, so the tiger pounced upon the fox and caught it.

At this time, the fox suddenly hit upon a bright idea to get itself out of the predicament. It boosted its courage and said to the tiger: "Do you dare to eat me?"

Taken aback, the tiger asked: "Why not?"

"Heaven sends me to rule over all you animals. If you eat me, you will defy the order of Heaven. What a nerve!"

Hoodwinked for the moment, the tiger released its claws.

The fox wagged its tail proudly and said: "I will take you to the other animals, and show you my power and prestige."

The fox and the tiger, one in front and the other in back, walked towards the depths of the forest. The fox was very cocky, shaking its head and wagging its tail. The tiger was dubious, looking around.

The boars, deer, gazelles, bares, etc. in the forest saw the fox come swaggering, entirelydifferent from its usual self, and couldn't understand what was the matter. But when they looked behind the fox:"Oh, a big tiger!" The wild animals, large and small, all fled for their lives.

Now the fox was greatly pleased and said to the tiger: "See, who isn't afraid of me?"

一天,在一片茂密的森林里,有一只大老虎正在寻找食物。一只狐狸正好从老虎身边窜过。于是,老虎猛扑过去,就把狐狸逮住了。

这时候,狐狸眼珠子骨碌一转,急中生智,壮着胆子,对老虎说:“你敢吃我?”

“为什么不敢?”老虎一愣。

“老天爷派我来管理你们百兽,你吃了我,就是违抗了老天爷的命令。我看你有多大的胆子。”

老虎一下子被蒙住了,就放开了爪子。

狐狸得意地摇了摇尾巴,说:“我带着你到百兽面前走一趟,让你看看我的威风。”

狐狸和老虎,一前一后,朝着森林的深处走去。狐狸神气活现,摇头摆尾;老虎半信半疑,东张西望。

森林里的野猪、小鹿、黄羊、兔子……看见狐狸大摇大摆地走过来,跟往常大不一样,都弄不明白到底是怎么一回事,究竟是什么原因;再往狐狸身后一看,“呀,是一只大老虎!”大大小小的野兽都吓得撒腿就逃。

这时候,狐狸得意洋洋,对老虎说:“你看,谁不怕我?”
