英语寓言故事2篇
篇一：
Making His Mark 刻舟求剑
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
楚国有个人坐船渡江时，他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢?船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。
篇二：
Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It 画蛇添足
Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?" The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It." tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
古时几个人分一壶酒。他们都想独自喝完那壶酒，所以就定了一个规矩：每人在地上画一条蛇，谁画得最快，这壶酒就归谁。有一个人很快就把蛇画好了。他正打算喝这壶酒时，看见别人都还在忙着画，就决定给蛇再画上几只脚。结果，他的蛇脚还没加完，另一个人已经把蛇画好了。那人一下把酒壶夺了过去，说："有谁见过长脚的蛇?"。这个故事告诉我们这样的道理：做得过分和做得不够都是不对的。
篇三：
Plugging One's Ears While Stealing a Bell 掩耳盗铃
Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor's doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people's attention as long as he touched the bell. So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever "idea". He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell. Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief.
从前，有一个人想偷邻居门上的铃，但是他知道一碰到铃，铃就会响起来，被人发现。他想啊想，终于他想出一个"妙极"，他把自己的耳朵用东西塞起来，就听不见铃声了。但是当他去偷铃时，铃声仍旧响起来，他被别人当场抓住。
篇四：
To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow 拔苗助长
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldn't wait to check his "achievement", but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
从前，有个农夫，种了稻苗(seedlings)后，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田时，都发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢。他等得很不耐烦。想了又想，他终于想到一个"最佳方法"，他将稻苗全都拔高了几分。第二天，一早起身，他迫不及待地去稻田看他的"成果"。 哪知，却看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。

中国寓言故事：狐假虎威
有一天，一只老虎正在深山老林里转悠，突然发现了一只狐狸，便迅速抓住了它，心想今天的.午餐又可以美美地享受一顿了。
狐狸生性狡猾，它知道今天被老虎逮住以后，前景一定不妙，于是就编出一个谎言，对老虎说：“我是天帝派到山林中来当百兽之王的，你要是吃了我，天帝是不会饶恕你的。”
老虎对狐狸的话将信将疑，便问：“你当百兽之王，有何证据?”狐狸赶紧说：“你如果不相信我的话，可以随我到山林中去走一走，我让你亲眼看看百兽对我望而生畏的样子。”
老虎想这倒也是个办法，于是就让狐狸在前面带路，自己尾随其后，一道向山林的深处走去。
森林中的野兔、山羊、花鹿、黑熊等各种兽类远远地看见老虎来了，一个个都吓得魂飞魄散，纷纷夺路逃命。
转了一圈之后，狐狸洋洋得意地对老虎说道：“现在你该看到了吧?森林中的百兽，有谁敢不怕我?”
老虎并不知道百兽害怕的正是它自己，反而因此相信了狐狸的谎言。狐狸不仅躲过了被吃的厄运，而且还在百兽面前大抖了一回威风。对于那些像狐狸一样仗势欺人的人，我们应当学会识破他们的伎俩。
