  簡單的英語寓言故事篇一

  買犢還珠

  In the past, a man of the State of Chu intended to go to the State of Zheng to sell pearls.

  First he used rare lily magnolia to make a small exquisite case which he fumigated with the delicate fragrance of osmanthuses and Chinese prickly ashes. Furthermore, the case was inlaid with emerald-green jadeite, and adorned with attractive rosy jade. The whole case was decorated in an extremely exquisite way.

  A man of the State of Zheng saw this exquisite case and liked it very much. He bought it with a great deal of money, but he returned the pearl in the case to the man of Chu.

  Later, people ridiculed the man of Chu by saying that he was good at selling cases, but not good at selling pearls.

  To go too far in the pursuit of form just like letting a presumptuous guest usurp the host's role, which brings about opposite results.

  從前,有個楚國人準備到鄭國賣珍珠。

  他先用名貴的木蘭做了一隻精巧的小匣子,又用幽香的牡桂和花椒把匣子薰了一下,並且在匣子上面鑲了碧綠的翡翠,還嵌上引人注目的玫瑰石,整個匣子裝演得十分考究。

  有個鄭國人看到這隻精美的匣子,非常喜歡,就用重金買了下來。但是,他卻把匣子裡的珍珠退還給了那個楚國人。

  後來,人們都嘲笑這個楚國人,說他很善於賣匣子,卻不善於賣珍珠。

  過分追求形式,反而會喧賓奪主,效果適得其反。

  殺豬教子

  Zeng Zi was one of Confucius' disciples.

  One day, Zeng Zi's wife wanted to go to market. Their son wanted to go together with her. He made a row, crying and fussing without stop. His wife could do nothing but bend down tohumour him, saying: "My darling, go home now. Mama will be back soon. When I'm back, I'll kill the pig to make a meal for you."

  When the son heard this, he went home happily.

  Not long after, the wife returned home from the market. Zeng Zi tied up their fat pig, took out a shining sharp knife and prepared to kill it. When his wife saw this, she hurriedly held Zeng Zi by the hand and said: "What's the matter with you? I was only trying to humour the child."

  Zeng Zi said seriously: "How can you cheat a child? The child is still small and doesn't understand things. He only follows the example of his parents. Now you cheat him, then he will follow your example and cheat others. Furthermore, when a mother cheats her child, the child will no longer trust his mother. Then, how can you educate the child well?"

  Having said this, Zeng Zi raised his knife and killed the fat pig.

  曾子是孔子的一個學生。

  有一天,曾子的妻子要上街。兒子吵著要跟媽媽一起去,又哭又鬧,吵個不停。妻子沒有辦法,只好彎腰哄他,說:“我的小寶貝,回家去吧!媽媽去了就回來,一回來就殺豬給你吃。”

  兒子聽了,高高興興地回家去了。

  過了不久,妻子從街上回到了家。曾子就把家裡的肥豬捆住,拿出雪亮的尖刀,準備殺豬。妻子看見了就急忙拉住曾子的手,說:“你這是怎麼了?我只不過是哄哄小孩的。”

  曾子嚴肅地說:“你怎麼能夠哄騙孩子呢?現在,孩子還小,不懂事,他只會照著父母的樣子去做。你現在哄騙孩子,孩子就會學你的樣子,去哄騙別人。做母親的哄騙兒子,做兒子的就不會再信任母親。這樣,怎麼能教育好孩子呢?”

  曾子話一說完,就一刀宰了肥豬。

  葉公好龍

  Ye Gong was well-known for his fondness for dragons: In the house where he lived, dragons were painted on the walls and carved on the pillars and the four walls of his bedroom. There were dragons everywhere, up and down, front and back, with each dragon baring its teeth andbrandishing its claws.

  In the heavens there was a real dragon. It was very happy to hear that Ye Gong was so fond of dragons.

  One day, the sky suddenly darkened, and then came wind, thunder and rain. The real dragon flew to Ye Gong's home. It poked its head into the window in the south and coiled its tail to the window in the north, rocking and rattling the whole house.

  At the sight of this real dragon, Ye Gong was frightened out of his wits. He trembled all over and hurriedly hid himself.

  So it turned out that what Ye Gong liked was painted and carved fake dragons but not real ones.

  葉公喜歡龍,已經出了名了。他住的屋子裡,牆上畫著龍,柱子上雕著龍,臥室四面的牆壁上也刻著龍,上上下下,前前後後,到處都是龍,一條條張牙舞爪。

  天上有一條真的龍,聽說葉公這樣喜歡龍,高興極了。

  有一天,天空突然暗了下來,又是颳風,又是打雷,又是下雨,真龍飛到了葉公的家裡。它把頭伸進了南面的視窗,把尾巴繞到了北面的視窗,把整個屋子搖得格格直響。

  葉公看到這條真龍,一下子嚇得魂飛魄散,渾身發抖,急忙躲了起來。

  原來,葉公喜歡的只是那些畫著、雕著的假龍,而不是真龍!
