1.英語寓言故事及翻譯
A wild ass1 saw a pack-ass jogging along under a heavy load, and taunted2 him with the condition of slavery in which he lived, in these words: "What a vile3 lot is yours compared with mine! I am free as the air, and never do a stoke of work; and, as for fodder4, I have only to go to the hills and there I find far more than enough for my needs. But you! You depend on your master for food, and he makes you carry heavy loads every day and beats you unmercifully." At that moment a lion appeared on the scene, and made no attempt to molest5 the pack-ass owing to the presence of the driver, but he fell upon the wild ass, who had no one to protect him, and without more ado made a meal of him.
It is no use being your own master unless you can stand up for yourself.
一頭野驢看到一頭家驢背負這沉重的貨物一路小跑，便譏諷他過著奴隸般的生活：「和我相比，你過得多麼卑微呀!我自由自在地享受著大自然，從亂猛不下苦力，說道食物，我只需要跑到山上去，就能發現大量吃的東西。再看看你!只能依靠主人施捨吃點，他不僅每天都讓你馱重物，還無情地鞭打你。」這時，一隻獅茄鍵子出現在他們的視野中，由於驢夫的出現，獅子沒有騷擾家驢，直接撲向了沒有保護者的野驢，立即吃掉了野驢。
除非能照顧好自己，否則做自己的主人一點用也沒有。

英語寓言故事短文篇二
A Woodman came into a forest to ask the Trees to give him a handle for Ax. It seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once agreed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain, homely Ash should furnish what was wanted. No sooner had the Woodman fitted the staff to his purpose ,than he began laying about him on all side. felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the Cedar: "the first concession has lost all ;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves."
中文譯文：
有一個樵夫來到森林裡,要求樹給他一跟斧柄,看來他的請求非常謙虛,立刻得到了樹的首領的同意.他們決定由平凡而樸素的白楊樹來提供所需要的東西.樵夫剛按好斧柄,就開始到處亂砍,森林裡最高的樹都砍倒了,樹林現在察覺大勢已去,就小聲對衫樹說："第一次的讓步已失去了一切.如果我們不犧牲我們的小小的鄰居,我們自己還可以活無數年呢."

The Fawn and His Father小鹿與他的父親
A YOUNG FAWN once said to his Father, "You are larger than a dog, and swifter, and more used to running, and you have your horns as a defense; why, then, O Father! do the hounds frighten you so?" He smiled, and said: "I know full well, my son, that all you say is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as fast as I can."
No arguments will give courage to the coward. 有一天，小鹿對公鹿說道，「父親，你怎麼還怕狗呢？你比他高大，比他跑得更快，而 且還有很大的角用於自衛。」公鹿笑著說：「孩兒，你說得都對，可我只知道一點，一聽到 狗的叫聲，我就會不由自主地立刻逃跑。」

The Farmer and the Snake農夫與蛇
ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."
The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.
冬天，農夫發現一條蛇凍僵了，他很可憐它，便把蛇放在自己懷里。蛇溫暖後，蘇醒了 過來，恢復了它的本性，咬了它的恩人一口，使他受到了致命的傷害。農夫臨死前說：「我 該死，我憐憫惡人，應該受惡報。」
這故事說明，即使對惡人仁至義盡，他們的邪惡本性也是不會改變的。
A HARE one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied, laughing: "Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race." The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race. 烏龜與兔為他們倆誰跑得快而爭論不休。於是，他們定好了比賽的時間和地點。比賽一 開始，兔覺得自己是天生的飛毛腿，跑得快，對比賽掉以輕心，躺在路旁睡著了。烏龜深知 自己走得慢，毫不氣餒，不停地朝前奔跑。結果，烏龜超過了睡熟了的兔子，奪得了勝利的 獎品。
這故事說明，奮發圖強的弱者也能戰勝驕傲自滿的強者。
A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away. 狗叼著肉渡過一條河。他看見水中自己的倒影，還以為是另一條狗叼著一塊更大的肉。 想到這里，他決定要去搶那塊更大的肉。於是，他撲到水中搶那塊更大的。結果，他兩塊肉 都沒得到，水中那塊本來就不存在，原有那塊又被河水沖走了。
