關於貓的英語故事篇1
The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
老貓
一位老婦有隻貓,這隻貓很老,它跑不快了,也咬不了東西,因為它年紀太大了。一天,老貓發現一隻老鼠,它跳過去抓這隻老鼠,然而,它咬不住這隻老鼠。因此,老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了,因為老貓咬不了它。
於是,老婦很生氣,因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這隻貓,貓說:“不要打你的老僕人,我已經為你服務了很多年,而且還願意為你效勞,但是,我實在太老了,對年紀大的不要這麼無情,要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。”

關於貓咪的故事
Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats.
Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he “looks like the cat that ate the canary.”
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.
A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The saying that “looks like something the cat dragged in” describes something in bad condition.
Two old and funny expressions describe something that is the best or finest. Americans might say that something is “the cat’s meow” and “the cat’s pajamas.”
Children might call a child who is easily frightened a “fraidy-cat” or a “scaredy-cat.”
A “copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person's work.
A “fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.
You may have known that cats spend most of their time sleeping. Sometimes people sleep for a short time during the day. This is called a “cat nap.”
If you tell about something that was supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag.” If you are not able to speak or answer a question someone might ask if “the cat has got your tongue.”
Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes misbehave when there is no supervision.
You may have heard this expression: “curiosity killed the cat.” This means being too concerned about things that are not your business might cause problems.
If your home is very small, you might say “there is not enough room to swing a cat.” But you probably should not try this at home!
If you ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job “is like herding cats.”
We leave you with a song from the musical play "Cats."

A Cat Is Fishing

A cat goes to a river every day. He wants to go fishing. But he can’t catch any fish.
一隻貓每天去河邊,他想去釣魚,但是他去釣不到一條。
One day, he goes to the river as usual. Suddenly a fish comes out. He catches the fish. He is very happy. He forgets to put the fish in the basket. He dances and sings. He shouts, “I have a fish! I have a fish!” All his friends come to see him.
一天,他像往常一樣去了河邊。突然一條魚浮出了水面。他捉到了那條魚。他非常開心。他忘記把魚放到籃子裡去了。他又唱又跳,叫道:“我捉到一條魚!我捉到一條魚!”他所有的朋友都過來看。
“Where is your fish? Let us have a look at it. ” his friends say.
“你的魚在哪兒?讓我們看一看。”他的朋友們說。
“It’s there, near the bank.” the cat answers. But he can’t find the fish. When he sings and dances, the fish jumps back into the river.
“在那兒,河岸附近。”貓回答道。但是他找不到那條魚。當他又唱又跳的時候,魚跳回了河裡。
