英文故事有哪些呢?
英文故事有如下：1、A PIGEON（鸽子）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.Moral：Zeal should not outrun discretion.翻译：一只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一只水杯。她并不以为那只是一幅画，而是发出一声响亮的呼噜声，朝画飞去，无意中撞在了招牌上，把自己撞得很不稳。她的翅膀被风吹断了，摔在地上，被一个旁观者抓住。2、The Raven and the Swan（乌鸦和天鹅）A raven saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.Moral：Change of habit cannot alter Nature.翻译：一只乌鸦看到了一只天鹅，想要得到同样美丽的羽毛。假如天鹅的美丽的白色是由于它在水里游泳时洗过澡而产生的，那么乌鸦就离开它生活的地方，到湖里和水潭里去住下来。但是，尽管他经常清洗自己的羽毛，却无法改变它们的颜色，而由于缺乏食物，他就死了。3、The Bat and the Weasels（蝙蝠与黄鼠狼）Abat who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.Moral：It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.翻译：一只蝙蝠坠落到地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼拒绝了，说他生来就是鸟类的天敌。蝙蝠向他保证他不是一只鸟，而是一只老鼠，于是就被放了出来。不一会儿，蝙蝠又掉到地上，被另一只黄鼠狼捉住了，他请求讨饶。黄鼠狼说他特别恨老鼠。蝙蝠向他保证自己不是老鼠，而是一只蝙蝠，因此第二次逃走了。4、The Ass and the Grasshopper（驴子与蚱蜢）An ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.Moral：People should not expect anything out of proportion.翻译：驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙动听的歌声所打动，自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音，便羡慕地问他们吃些什么，才能发出如此美妙的声音来。蚱蜢答道：“吃露水。”驴子便也只吃露水，没多久就饿死了。5、The Dog and the Shadow（狗和影子）It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.Moral：Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.翻译：一只狗嘴里衔着一块肉，走过一条河上面的桥，看见他自己在水里的影子，以为是另一只狗，那时狗衔着的肉，比他自己的还要大一倍。因此他仍掉自己的那一块，狠狠地扑向那只狗，想夺到那一块较大的肉。结果两头都落了空，因为他想要抓取在水中的那一块，只不过是一个影子，而原来的那一块，也被水冲走了。
