The Father and His Sons / 父亲和孩子们
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角.他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子.为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来.当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴.他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as
easily as these sticks."
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了.于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行分裂,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了.」 The shepherd boy and the wolf
Once there was a boy who lived on a farm. Every day he had to take his father’s sheep to a hill. One day he tried to play a trick on the other people. He said to himself. I will call “wolf. wolf.” then everyone come to help me. It will be fun when they find out there is no wolf after all. So he cried: “wolf .wolf.” and everyone ran to help him. When they came he just said: “there is no wolf. It was only a joke.” He did this three times. Then one day a wolf really came. “Help! Help! The wolf is here.” called the boy. But everyone said: “No, you know that there is no wolf. He is just calling us for fun. There is no danger.” So they did not go to help the boy. The wolf killed all the sheep then.
狼来了
从前,有一个住在农场里的孩子.每天,他都要带他父亲的羊到山上去放.
一天,他想对其他人开一次玩笑.他自言自语说道：“我要叫“狼呀!狼呀!”那么,人人都会来帮我的了.如果,他们发现根本没有狼,那么多有趣呀!”
因此他叫道：“狼呀!狼呀!”每个人都跑去帮助他.
当他们来到的时候,他只是说：“这里没有狼,这只是一个玩笑.”
他这样做了三次.
然后,有一天,一只狼真的来了.
“救命!救命!狼来了!”男孩子叫道.
但人人都说：“我们知道那儿没有狼.他只不过是因为好玩而叫我们.那里没有危险的.”
于是,他们没有去帮助那个男孩子.狼便把所有的羊都咬死了.
A Brave Mouse
I'm a brave, brave mouse;
I go marching through the house,
And I'm not afraid of anything at all.
For danger I'm prepared,
And I'm never, never scared.
No, I'm not afraid of anything at all.
What about a cat?
What - a cat?
Yes, a cat!
Big and fat!
Well, except for a cat,
I'm not afraid of anything at all.
一只勇敢的老鼠
我是一只老鼠,
胆子特别大；
大摇大摆穿堂过,
什么都不怕.
时刻准备面对危险
我从来从来都很大胆.
不怕,我什么都不怕.
你不怕猫吗?
什么,猫?
对,猫!
一只又肥又大的猫!
嗯,除了猫,
我什么都不怕. 这已经是很简单的了谢谢采纳 (*^__^*) . The Father and His Sons / 父亲和孩子们
