英語短篇寓言故事大全精選1:The Lazy Donkey
A man bought a Donkey at the market one day and took him home on approval.
Now the man owned several Donkeys already and he knew each one's character very well.
One of the Donkey was very strong and brave. Another was eager to please but quicklyexhausted.
One Donkey was very lazy. He hated going to work in the morning and he did as little as he possibly could all day long. When the other animals were being loaded up he always tried to be the last so that he would get the lightest load.
The man led the new Donkey into the stable yard. For a moment he stood sniffing at his new companions. Then, without hesitation, he trotted up to the lazy Donkey and began feeding comfortably at his side.
Though it was late in the day, the man immediately led the new Donkey out of the yard, straight back to the market.
"You cannot have given him a fair trial yet," said the merchant. "It is only ten minutes since you bought him."
"I don't need to try him any more," replied the man. "I know just what he is like from the friend he chose for himself.
Take him away and give me my money back. I can do without Donkeys like him."
英語短篇寓言故事大全精選2:Oh Mighty Garments
A Brahmin, a member of the Hindu priest, had a great reputation for holiness, and received many presents so that he became rich.
One day, he took a fancy to dress himself as a poor peasant.
In this attire(服裝), he went into the market place but no one saluted him and no one gave him any presents.
The Brahmin then returned to his house and, dressing himself in rich garments, once more set out for the market place.
This time, everybody saluted him and made way for him and many handed him presents.
This was the usual custom when a holy Brahmin happened to make his appearance in the market place. Once again, the Brahmin returned to his home and changed his clothes.
Then, taking the rich garments, he set them up on a shrine near the market.
As he prostrates himself before them, cried continually: "O mighty garments, you areesteemed above all else in this world."
The people gathered round in wonder. And in time came to worship the clothes as this Brahmin was doing.
This custom has spread farther and farther. Now in many countries around the world, trendy and fashionable people do the same thing, though not, perhaps in the way as the Brahmin did.
英語短篇寓言故事大全精選3:Fat Fox and Striped Leopard
Both the fat foxes and the beautifully striped leopards inhabit in forests, and stay in caves having a tranquil(平靜的) life.
They only come out at night and during the daytime they stay in caves vigilantly(警惕地). Even if they are very hungry and thirsty, they only go to unfrequented places to look for food. They never go beyond their bounds to compete with human.
But they still cannot survive the hunter's traps and snares. What fault do they have? It is just the misfortune brought by their beautiful furs and pelts.
英語短篇寓言故事大全精選4:a dog in the manger佔着茅坑不拉屎的人
出自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables),有一篇狗站馬槽的故事,説的是一頭狗躺在堆滿稻草的馬槽裏,狗是不吃草的動物,而當馬或牛一走進稻草時,這頭狗卻朝着馬,牛狂哮,不準食草動物享用。
因此,“狗站馬槽”就成了一個家喻户曉的成語而進入英語中,常用來比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it,諷刺那些佔據説職位或某些物質卻不做事的人。
a dog in the manger是個名詞性短語,常與系動詞連用,充當表語(主語補足語)
eg:He borrowed a lot of books from the library,but he didn't read a was really a dog in the manger.
There are some officials who are only the dogs in the manger.
Smith was a dog in the manger over that roll of wire;it was no use whatever to him,but he wouldn't let us have it.
