看故事學(xué)英語(yǔ), 今天作文啦為大家分享兩篇有意思的英語(yǔ)小故事:The Thirsty Pigeon 口渴的鴿子和The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊與牧羊人 ,兩篇小故事都有各自深刻的含義,大家在閱讀的同時(shí)可以慢慢體會(huì),希望大家可以喜歡。
1. The Thirsty Pigeon 口渴的鴿子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard.
Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders. Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鴿子口渴得很難受,看見(jiàn)畫(huà)板上畫(huà)著一個(gè)水瓶,以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過(guò) 去,不料一頭碰撞在畫(huà)板上,折斷了翅膀,摔在地上,被人輕易地捉住了。
2.The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊與牧羊人
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent." Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好東西,單獨(dú)落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過(guò)去,正巧打斷了山羊的一只角。牧羊人嚇得請(qǐng)求山羊不要告訴主人, 山羊說(shuō):“即使我不說(shuō),又怎能隱瞞下去呢?我的角已斷了,這是十分明顯的事實(shí)。”
第一個(gè)故事口渴的鴿子告訴大家遇到事情要三思而后行,沉著冷靜,不要盲目;有些人想急于得到所需的東西,一時(shí)沖動(dòng),草率從事,最終會(huì)遭遇不幸。山羊與牧羊人的故事告訴我們事實(shí)是無(wú)法隱藏的,俗話說(shuō)”事實(shí)勝于雄辯“就是這個(gè)道理。
