英语寓言小故事15则1.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。
2.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。
3.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4.The Fox and the Crow “狐狸和乌鸦”One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.有一天,一只乌鸦站在窝旁的树枝上嘴里叼着一片肉，心里非常高兴。
这时候，一只狐狸看见了乌鸦，馋得直流口水，非常想得到那片肉。
但是，无论狐狸说什么，乌鸦就是不理睬狐狸。
最后，狐狸赞美乌鸦的嗓音最优美，并要求乌鸦唱几句让他欣赏欣赏。
乌鸦听了狐狸赞美的话，得意极了，就唱起歌来。
没想到，肉一掉下来，狐狸就叼起肉，钻回了洞5.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 theground 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6.郭氏之墟On a vacation trip, Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi , which perished long ago.Seeing the desolate and bleak prospects of broken tiles, collapsed walls, and clusters of weeds, he could not help asking the local people about the reason of the ruin of Guo Shi.They replied,"Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds, and averse to evildoing, which led to the perdition."When the Duke could not understand the answer, people explained ," Though he liked doing good, he had never been able to do so; though he hated evildoing, never could he help not participating. That caused the ruin of his capital."齐桓公出游途中，来到已经灭亡许久的郭氏都城的废墟。
看到瓦砾残垣、杂草丛生的萧条景象，忍不住问当地百姓郭氏灭亡的原因。
百姓们回答说："郭氏由于喜爱善行善事。
厌恶邪恶丑行而导致灭亡。
"齐桓公不能理解这种回答，百姓们便解释说："郭氏虽然喜爱善行善事，但从来都不能做到；尽管厌恶邪恶丑行，却总是忍不住参与其中。
这就是他的都城变成废墟的原因。
"7.老鼠和公牛A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing. The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard. The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall. The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety. As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked:"It's not always the big people who come off best. Sometimes the small ones win, you know."有一次，公牛躺着打盹，一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴。
英语中源于古希腊文化的谚语
1.An Apple of Discord争斗之源；不和之因；祸根An Apple of Discord直译为"纠纷的苹果"，出自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事传说希腊阿耳戈英雄(Argonaut)珀琉斯(Peleus)和爱琴海海神涅柔斯的女儿西蒂斯(Thetis)在珀利翁山举行婚礼，大摆宴席。
他们邀请了奥林匹斯上(Olympus)的诸神参加喜筵，不知是有意还是无心，惟独没有邀请掌管争执的女神厄里斯(Eris)。
这位女神恼羞成怒，决定在这次喜筵上制造不和。
于是，她不请自来，并悄悄在筵席上放了一个金苹果，上面镌刻着"属于最美者"几个字。
天后赫拉(Hera)，智慧女神雅典娜 (Athena)、爱与美之神阿芙罗狄蒂(Aphrodite)，都自以为最美，应得金苹果，获得"最美者"称号。
她们争执不下，闹到众神之父宙斯 (Zeus)那里，但宙斯碍于难言之隐，不愿偏袒任何一方，就要她们去找特洛伊的王子帕里斯(Paris)评判。
三位女神为了获得金苹果，都各自私许帕里斯以某种好处：赫拉许给他以广袤国土和掌握富饶财宝的权利，雅典娜许以文武全才和胜利的荣誉，阿芙罗狄蒂则许他成为世界上最美艳女子的丈夫。
年青的帕里斯在富贵、荣誉和美女之间选择了后者，便把金苹果判给爱与美之神。
为此，赫拉和雅典娜怀恨帕里斯，连带也憎恨整个特洛伊人。
后来阿芙罗狄蒂为了履行诺言，帮助帕里斯拐走了斯巴达国王墨涅俄斯的王后——绝世美女海伦(Helen)，从而引起了历时10年的特洛伊战争。
不和女神厄里斯丢下的那个苹果，不仅成了天上3位女神之间不和的根源，而且也成为了人间2个民族之间战争的起因。
The Heel of Achilles 亦作The Achilles’Heel唯一弱点；薄弱环节；要害The Heel of Achilles直译是"阿基里斯的脚踵"，是个在欧洲广泛流行的国际性成语。

英语故事《聪明的兔子》这篇英语故事《聪明的兔子》告诉我们 不要被假象迷惑 凡事多多求证才能防患于未然。
The wolf and the fox wanted to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him. 狼和狐狸想要吃掉兔子 但是这只兔子太难抓到了。
One day the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," said the fox. 一天 狼对狐狸说 “你回家假装躺在床上。

If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox heard this, he thought, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth. 兔子去狐狸家看情况。
14个趣味英语短语及其典故
14个趣味英语短语及其典故14个趣味英语短语及其典故很多同学只道英语枯燥乏味，却不知从其中寻找乐趣，下面店铺为大家搜索整理了14个趣味英语短语及其典故，希望大家能从中找到乐趣!A DOG IN THE MANGER因为文化传统的关系，狗在英语语言中都被当作忠实、可爱、聪敏的象征，因此与之有关的短语也大多为褒义之词，但a dog in the manger 则属例外。
从字面来看，A dog in the manger 是指『马厩里的狗』，读者可能觉得奇怪了，狗怎么跑到马厩里去了呢?要解释清楚这个短语的实际含义，还得『追根溯源』。
这个短语最早出现于《伊索预言》，故事的梗概是：一匹马和一条牛正在马厩里吃草。
这时，一条狗闯进来了，它十分霸道地要马和牛都走开。
马和牛十分温和地对它说：可是你是不吃草的呀!这条狗却蛮不讲理地说：我是不吃草，可是我不吃的东西也不能让你们白吃!这样，这条狗霸占了盛满稻草的马槽，却赶走了以草为生的马和牛。
而它自己呢，也只能看着稻草而不能吃。
《美国韦氏大词典》将其解释为：The dog who would not allow a horse or ox to eat the hay in a manger, even though he himself did not want it. 并且在这一基本意义的基础上又将该片语引申为：A persom who selfishly withholds from others something that he himself can not use or does not need.讲到这里，大家可能已经想到了汉语中的一个俗语：『占着茅坑不拉屎』，两者在语意上倒也确实十分贴近。
根据具体的语境，这个短语还可以理解为『自私自利的人』，『一毛不拨的人』等。
例如：Don't be such a dog in the manger. Lend your bicycle to him since you will not go out this afternoon.【中】别这么不够朋友。
