1分钟短篇英语寓言故事篇1
There was a sturdy ram with a pair of thick horns upright on its head.
一头长得非常雄壮的公羊的头上，挺立着一对粗大的犄角。
It strutted about proudly and saw a fence built with bamboo and wood in front, which blocked its way. It cast a sidelong glance at the fence, lowered its neck and lunged at the fence, hoping to knock it down. The fence remained intact but the ram injured its own horns.
公羊骄傲地踱着步，看见前面有一道竹木编成的篱笆挡住了它的 去路。公羊斜着眼睛看看，便弯下脖子呼的一声撞上去，想把篱笆撞 倒。结果篱笆纹丝不动，它反把自己的犄角碰伤了。
If it had not injured its horns, the ram would have persisted obstinately in butting against the fence, even against the spokes of a wheel until it bled with a fractured skull.
假如公羊没有碰伤犄角的话，那么它还会一个劲儿地撞下去，甚 至向车轮的辐条上撞去，直到头破血流为止。
As a result, with its horns caught in the fence, the ram could neither advance nor retreat but bleat helplessly.
结果呢?公羊的犄角被篱笆夹住，进也不得，退也不得，只能“咩 咩”不停地叫唤。

In the dense mountain forest, there lived herds of stout and strong red deer. They were alert and suspicious animals and ran about with agility. It was very difficult for people to catch them. When some people came to the mountains to hunt, they would
在茂密的山林里，生活着成群肥壮的马鹿。这种动物机警多疑，奔走敏捷，人们很难捕捉到它们。
first seek for yu (supervisor of the mountain forests in ancient times), request him to be their guide, and inquire in detail about the red deer's pattern of activities and their usual haunts. Only with full preparations would they carry their knives and arrows, lead their hounds and enter the dense forest for the siege. As a result, all the red deer dashed into their ring of encirclement, and one by one fell dead under the rainfall of arrows.
有的人来山里打猎，首先找到虞(古代官名，掌管山林的人)，请他做向导，又仔细打听马鹿的活动规律和它们经常出没的地方。经过一番准备之后，他们才带着刀箭，牵着猎犬走进密林围猎。结果，那些马鹿都撞进了包围圈，一头头倒毙在雨点般的箭矢之下。
But when some other people came to the mountains to hunt, they would not first seek for yu to fmd out the situation, but rushed rashly into the forest. As a result, after a busy day they couldn't find a single trace of red deer and could only return de jectedly with empty hands.
但是，另外一些人来山里围猎时，他们不是先去找虞了解情况，而是冒冒失失地闯进森林。结果，他们连马鹿的踪影也找不着，白忙了一天，只好空着手垂头丧气地回去了。
1分钟短篇英语寓言故事篇3
Yan Zi of the State of Qi was sent on a mission to the State ofChu. The King of Chu intended to humiliate the State of Qi toYan Zi's face.
One day, the King of Chu gave a banquet for Yan Zi. Just
齐国的晏子出使到楚国，楚王有意要当着晏子的面侮辱齐国。
when they were enjoying it, two petty officials brought a convictto the King.
一天，楚王摆了酒席招待晏子。正当他们吃得高兴的时候，两个小官押着一个犯人来见楚王。
Deliberately the King of Chu asked:
楚王故意问道:
"What crime has this man committed?"
“这人犯了了一么罪?”
One of the petty officials answered:
小官回答说:
"He robs."
“他是一个强盗。”
Again the King of Chu asked:
楚王又问:
“Where is he from?"
“他是哪个国家的人?”
The petty official answered:
小官回话:
"He is from the State of Qi."
“他是齐国人。”
The King of Chu turned to Yan Zi and said:
楚王回头对晏子说:
"So the people of the State of Qi are used to committingrobbery."
“原来齐国人是惯于当强盗的。”
Yan Zi stood up and replied:
晏子站起来答道:
"Your Majesty, I heard that when orange trees grown in thesouth of the Huai River are transplanted to the north of Huai River,they become trifoliate orange trees. Outwardly the leaves of orangetrees and those of trifoliate orange trees look alike, but the tastesof their fruits are entirely different. Our people of the State of Qinever commit robbery, but once they come to the State of Chu,they start to engage in criminal activities. I think, maybe this isthe effect of the environment and climate here."
“大王，我听说生长在淮南的橘树，移植到淮北就会变成积树。从外表上看，橘树和积树的叶子是一样的，但是这两种树的果子的味道却完全不同。我们齐国的老百姓从来不做强盗，一到楚国就干起犯罪的勾当来了。我看，这也许是受这里的水土环境的影响吧!”
As the King of Chu heard this, he was struck dumb withshame.
楚王听了，羞愧得连一句话都说不出来。
