關於小學生英語故事演講稿

　　語言學習本身是較為枯燥單調的。一味地教師講、學生聽,會使學生的學習興趣蕩然無存。而各年齡段的學生都對故事非常感興趣,故事中有生動的情節、豐富的情感,同時也蘊含著一定的語言知識。本文是，希望對大家有幫助!

　　：青蛙和牛

　　An ox, grazing in a swampy***沼澤的*** meadow, chanced to set his foot among a parcel of young frogs, and crushed nearly the whole brood to death.

　　One that escaped ran off to his mother with the dreadful news. "Oh, mother!" said he ,"It was a beast - such a big four footed beast! That did it." "Big?" quoth the old frog, "How big? Was it as big" -- and she puffed herself out to a great degree- "as big as this?" "Oh!" said the little one, "a great deal bigger than that." "well, was it so big?" and she swelled herself out yetmere. "Indeed, mother, but it was, and of you were to burst yourself you would never reach half its size." Provoked at such a disparagement of her powers, the old frog made one more trial, and burst herself indeed.

　　So men are ruined by attempting greatness to which they have no claim.

　　：The Boasting Traveller

　　A man once went abroad on his travels, and when he came home he had wonderful tales to tell of the things he had done in foreign countries. Among other things, he said he had taken part in a jumping-match at Rhodes, and had done a wonderful jump which no one could beat. "Just go to Rhodes and ask them," he said; "every one will tell you it's true." But one of those who were listening said, "If you can jump as well as all that, we needn't go to Rhodes to prove it. Let's just imagine this is Rhodes for a minute: and now -- jump!"

　　Deeds, not words.

　　：The Fisherman and the Sprat

　　A fisherman cast his net into the sea, and when he drew it up again it contained nothing but a single sprat that begged to be put back into the water. "I'm only a little fish now," it said, "but I shall grow big one day, and then if you come and catch me again I shall be of some use to you." But the fisherman replied, "Oh, no, I shall keep you now. If I put you back, should I ever see you again? Not likely!"

　　：牧童和狼

　　A Shepherd-boy, who tended his flock not far from a village, used to amuse himself at times in crying out "Wolf! Wolf!" Twice or thrice his trick succeeded. The whole village came running out to his assistance when all the return they got was to be laughed at for their pains. At last one day the wolf came indeed. The boy cried out in earnest. But his neighbors, supposing him to be at his old sport, paid no heed to***不注意*** his cries, and the wolf devoured***吞食，毀滅*** the sheep.

　　So the boy learned, when it was too late, that liars are not believed even when they tell the truth.

　　一個放羊的孩子在離村子不遠的地方放羊。他為了開心尋樂常喊：“狼來了!狼來了!”他的惡作劇有兩三次達到了目的。全村的人都跑來幫忙，而他們所得到的回報卻是一頓嘲笑，白費了心力。最後，有一天狼真的來了。這個孩子認真地大喊起來。但是他的鄰人們卻以為他又在耍把戲，誰都不理會他的喊叫，於是狼把羊吃了。

　　因此這牧童得到了教訓：愛說謊的人，甚至在他說真話的時候，也沒人相信他，但是他知道得太晚了。

　　：The Crab and his Mother

　　An old crab said to her son, "Why do you walk sideways like that, my son? You ought to walk straight." The young crab replied, "Show me how, dear mother, and I'll follow your example." The old crab tried, but tried in vain, and then saw how foolish she had been to find fault with her child.

　　Example is better than precept***格言，訓誡***.

　　：The oxen and the axletrees

　　A pair of oxen were drawing a heavily loaded wagon along the highway, and, as theytugged***用力拉*** and strained at***緊拖*** the yoke, the axletrees***輪軸*** creaked andgroaned terribly. This was too much for the oxen, who turned round indignantly***憤怒地***and said, "Hullo, you there! Why do you make such a noise when we do all the work?"

　　They complain most who suffer least.
