风和太阳(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)
A pairy friend
神奇的朋友
Peter was a little boy. His parents were very busy with their work, so he was usually very lonely.
One day, Peter sat in the garden playing alone, and he really wished that he could have a friend to play with.
Suddenly, Peter saw a purple-winged fairy sitting on a rose. " " Hi! I am Peter. Who are you? " asked Peter. " I am a fairy named Sara," said the fairy.
" Hi! Sara, would you like to be my friend and play with me? " asked Peter. "Yes, I'd love to." Sara replied.
Sara then sat on Peter's knee and talked happily about her fairyland.
" There are many beautiful flowers in my homeland. I like to ride on the wind and play with the sky-horses," said Sara.
" Fantastic!" said Peter.
They became good friends. However, Sara needed to go home, so Peter was sad.
"Don't be sad, Peter, I'll pray for your happiness. And I'll come and visit you someday." said Sara.
" I'll miss you, Sara." said Peter.
Peter was glad that he had a fairy friend now.

有一天,彼得坐在花园里独自玩耍,他真希望能有人与他一起玩。
突然间他看到一个紫色翅膀的仙子坐在玫瑰花上。
“嗨!我是彼得,你是谁?”彼得不禁问起仙子。仙子回答彼得:“我是小仙女莎拉。”
彼得便问起莎拉来了:“嗨!莎拉!你愿意当我的朋友,跟我一起玩吗?”莎拉回答:“我很乐意啊!”
莎拉坐在彼得的膝上,高兴地谈论着她的仙境故乡。
莎拉说着:“我家乡有许多漂亮的花朵,我喜欢乘着风,骑着我的天马,四处游玩。”
“真是太棒了!”彼得不可思议地回答。
他们两人从此成为好朋友。但莎拉总是必须回家的,彼得因此感到非常悲伤。
莎拉安慰着彼得:“彼得,不要悲伤。我会为你的幸福而祈祷。而且我会再回来看你的。”
彼得不禁对莎拉说:“我会想念你的,莎拉。”
彼得因而非常庆幸有一个莎拉仙子这么一个朋友。
1、《鹦雀笑鹏》As the legend goes, during ancient times, in the expansive open country of North China, there was a kind of birds called "rocs".The roc was very huge, with its back like a big mountain, and its wings like a stretch of cloud which could cover the sky. When it spread its wings, it could break through a storm and soar at a height of 90,000 li (1/2 kilometre) in the sky towards the sea in the south.A small bird called the quail1 bounced on the ground, free and happy. It looked up at the roc soaring in the sky and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, see how cocky you are! Look at me, one jump can take me over 10 chi. How delightful2! Every day I come and go amid these weeds and thickets3 and fly freely. Don't I fly quite well too? But, where can you fly to anyway?" 译文:传说,古时候中国北方的原野上有一种鸟,它的名字叫“鹏”。
鹏长得很大,背脊像一座大山,翅膀像一大片云,能把天空遮住。它张开翅膀能冲破风暴,在九万里高的天空中飞翔,一直飞向南方的大海。
有一只叫鹦雀的小鸟,在地上蹦蹦跳跳,自由自在,非常快活。它望着天空中展翅飞翔的大鹏,忍不住发笑,说:“咳,看你神气活现的!我呀,一蹦一跳,就有十几尺,多么痛快啊!我每天在这些杂草和树丛里,来来去去,自由飞翔,不也飞得挺好吗?可是,你又能飞到哪里去呢?”2、《骗猎遭黑》The deer feared the leopard1 cat, the leopard cat feared the tiger, and the tiger the brown bear.The brown bear resembled the fox but was bigger in size. It had long fur on its head, and could stand up like man. It had great strength and would devour2 man.In the south of the State of Chu, there was a hunter good at ventriloquy. With a bamboo pipe he could imitate the cries of various kinds of wild animals.Once, carrying his bow, arrows and firearms, he quietly went hunting in the mountain.Up on the mountain, he first imitated the cries of the deer to lure3 the horde4 of deer to come over, so that he could shoot at them with the firearms. The leopard cat heard the cries of the deer and came running to devour the deer. The hunter was afraid of the leopard cat, so he hurriedly imitated the roar of the tiger to scare away the leopard cat. Hardly had the leopard cat been scared away when the tiger heard the roar and came. At this moment, the hunter was even more frightened, so he imitated the cries of the brown bear. As a result, the tiger was scared away like the leopard cat.Then, when the brown bear heard the cries, it came to look for its companions. Seeing that it was a man, the brown bear at once struck him with its front paws, and tore him up with its teeth. In a short while, the hunter was torn to pieces and devoured5 by the brown bear.译文:鹿害怕驱,驱害怕老虎,老虎害怕黑。

楚国南方有一个猎人口技很好。他会用竹管来模仿各种野兽的叫声。
有一次,他拿着弓箭和火器悄悄上山打猎。上山以后,他先学鹿的叫声,想引诱鹿群过来,再用火器射猎。
驱一听是鹿叫,就快步跑来想吃鹿。猎人害怕,急忙又学虎啸来吓走它。
驱刚刚被虎啸吓跑,可是老虎却闻声赶到了。这时候,猎人更加害怕,于是就学黑叫。
结果,老虎也像驱一样逃跑了。后来,黑听见叫声,就来寻找同伴。
刚走到前面,它一看是一个人,就立刻用前爪打他,用牙齿撕他,不一会儿,把猎人撕成碎块吃掉了。3、《狼与鹤》There is a bad wolf in the forest. One day he is eating a lamb.

Snow-white白雪公主 once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden-snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the hunts and on the trees: all things were white with snow. The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white." Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white. But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child. One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman. A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queen's room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Year went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all." When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am." Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried. After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her." The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the King's house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away. Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, "I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me." She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table, and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds. The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water. But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Men's bed. They said, "She is very beautiful." Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid. The Little men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story. They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in the hut with the seven Little Men. After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queen's servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest." The Queen was very angry when she heard that Snow-white was not dead. The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?" Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said, "I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you will know that it is good." Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When。

The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
狮子睡着了,有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来,把他抓住,准备吃掉。老鼠请 求饶命,并说如果保住性命,必将报恩,狮子轻蔑地笑了笑,便把他放走了。不久,狮子真 的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获,并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎,走过去咬断绳索,放走了狮子,并说:
“你当时嘲笑我,不相信能得到我的报答, 现在可清楚了,老鼠也能报恩。” 这故事说明,时运交替变更,强者也会有需要弱者的时候。
Teapot once upon a time, there was a proud teapot. It was proud of its porcelain, its long mouth and its big handle. There's something in front and behind it! There's a spout in front and a handle behind. It's always talking about these things. But it doesn't talk about its cover. The lid was broken long ago and nailed later; so it has a shortcoming, and people don't like to talk about their own shortcomings - of course, other people talk about it. Cups, butter cans and sugar bowls - the whole set of tea utensils - all remember the weaknesses of the teapot lid. It's more time to talk about it than about the perfect handle and the beautiful spout. The teapot knows this. "I know them!" It said to itself, "I also know my shortcomings, and I admit them. This is enough to show my modesty and simplicity. We all have shortcomings; but we also have advantages. The cup has a handle and the sugar bowl has a lid. I have both, and there's one thing they don't have. I have a spout; it makes me queen on the tea table. Sugar bowls and butter cans were appointed as sweet servants, and I was the appointee, the master of all. I spread happiness among thirsty people. Inside my body, Chinese tea leaves emit fragrance in that tasteless boiling water. This is what the teapot said in its fearless youth. It stood on the tea table with a table cloth, and a very white hand uncovered its lid. But this very white and tender hand is very clumsy. The teapot fell down, the spout of the teapot broke, the handle broke, and the lid of the teapot need not be talked about any more, because much has been said about him. The teapot lay unconscious on the ground; the boiling water flowed all over the place. It was a serious blow to it, and the worst thing was that everyone laughed at it. People just laughed at it, not at the clumsy hand. "I will never forget this experience!" The teapot later inspected his lifelong career. "People call me a sick man and put me in a corner, and one day they give me to a woman who begs for leftovers. I've fallen into poverty; I don't say a word inside or outside. But just then, my life began to improve. It's a blessing in disguise. I've got earth in my body; for a teapot, it's totally equivalent to burial. But a flower root was buried in the soil. I don't know who put it in or who brought it. However, since it was put in, it compensated for the loss of Chinese tea and boiled water, and also as a reward for the interruption of the handle and spout. The roots of flowers lie in the earth, in my body, and become my heart, a living heart - something I have never had before. I now have life, strength and spirit. The pulse jumped up, the roots sprouted, and they had thoughts and feelings. It blossoms into flowers. I see it, I support it, I forget myself in its beauty. Forget yourself for others - it's a happy thing! It did not thank me; it did not think of me; it was admired and praised by people. I'm very happy; it must be so happy, too. One day I heard someone say that it should have a better pot to match it. So people beat me around the waist; I was really in pain at that time! But the flowers moved into a better pot. As for me? I was thrown into the yard. I lay there like a pile of fragments - but my memory is still there and I can't forget it. After a series of good deeds, the teapot was thrown into the yard. I lay there like a pile of fragments - but my memory is still there and I can't forget it. But what's the use of this "solitary admiration"? 中文版: 茶壶 从前有一个骄傲的茶壶,它对它的瓷感到骄傲,对它的长嘴感到骄傲,对它的那个大把手也感到骄傲。
它的前面和后边都有点什么东西!前面是一个壶嘴,后面是一个把手,它老是谈着这些东西。可是它不谈它的盖子。
原来盖子早就打碎了,是后来钉好的;所以它算是有一个缺点,而人们是不喜欢谈自己的缺点的——当然别的人会谈的。 杯子、奶油罐和糖钵——这整套吃茶的用具——都把茶壶盖的弱点记得清清楚楚。
谈它的时候比谈那个完好的把手和漂亮的壶嘴的时候多。茶壶知道这一点。
我知道它们!它自己在心里说,“我也知道我的缺点,而且我也承认。这足以表现我的谦虚,我的朴素。
我们大家都有缺点; 但是我们也有优点。杯子有一个把手,糖钵有一个盖子。
我两样都有,而且还有他们所没有的一件东西。 我有一个壶嘴;这使我成为茶桌上的皇后。
糖钵和奶油罐受到任命,成为甜味的仆人,而我就是任命者——大家的主宰。我把幸福分散给那些干渴的人群。
在我的身体里面,中国的茶叶在那毫无味道的开水中放出香气。” 这番话是茶壶在它大无畏的青年时代说的。
它立在铺好台布的茶桌上,一只非常白嫩的手揭开它的盖子。 不过这只非常白嫩的手是很笨的,茶壶落下去了,壶嘴跌断了,把手断裂了,那个壶盖也不必再谈,因为关于他的话已经讲得不少了。

he City Mouse and the Country Mouse
once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid." 【译文】
城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前,有两只老鼠,它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村,另一只住在城里。很多年以后,乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠,它说:“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是,城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说:“这东西不好吃,你的家也不好,你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住,你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子,还会吃上美味佳肴,你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮,好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候,听见很大的一阵响声,城里的老鼠叫喊起来:“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。 过了一会儿,他们出来了。当他们出来时,乡下老鼠说:“我不喜欢住在城里,我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在,比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说,要好些。
