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. Change of habit cannot alter Nature. 乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。 这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。 The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人 A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent." Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid. 很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西，单独落在后面。牧羊人拿起一块石头扔了过去，正巧打断了山羊的一只角。牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人，山羊说：“即使我不说，又怎能隐瞒下去呢？我的角已断了，这是十分明显的事实。” 这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。 The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊 WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the
burn the boat 破釜沉舟 In the late years of the Qin Dynasty (秦朝,221 - 206BC), Xiang Yu (项羽) launched a rebellion. 秦朝末年，项羽发动了叛乱。 After crossing the Zhang River (漳河), Xiang Yu ordered his soldiers to sink all the boats and break their cooking pots. 在部队渡过漳河之后，项羽命令士兵把所有的船只都凿破，沉到河底，再把煮饭锅完全打碎。He distributed each soldier three days' rations and warned them that there was no way return; the only thing they could do to survive was to fight against the enemy. 项羽给每个人只发三天的粮食，然后再上战场，这样做，是为了向大家表示“宁死不退”的决心。 After nine furious war, the Qin army was finally defeated. 果然，经过九次的激烈奋战，项羽的军队终于打败了秦国的军队。 This idiom is used to reveal one's strong determination to achieve one's goal at any cost. 后来，我们使用“破釜沉舟”比喻：下定决心，不达目的绝不罢休的精神。 【文化链接】 英文中“破釜沉舟”可以用“burn the boat ”来表达，就是“烧掉船只”，即“破釜沉舟，自绝退路”。 我们一起来看几个例句： Andy is intelligent, energetic and is ready to burn his boat. 安迪聪明热情，且随时准备破釜沉舟干到底。 但是，这个短语并不是时时都是褒义的，如果“破釜沉舟”精神领会的不好，那有时会真的是自绝后路，比如说： Think carefully before you resign ---if so, you will have burnt your boat. 你对辞职的事情要三思呀,不然就自绝了后路了。

The carrots are under the ground only the leaves were out. He could not hide there but the farmer was coming closer to him, then he had an idea to dig a hole and cover the top of the hole with leaves and twigs细枝 and wait until the farmer leaves. But the farmer did not leave because he needed some carrots to make soup.

When he got up he took a bath, when he got out he had a nice meal with his family. One day a mouse saw some cheese on the table but there was a cat in the house. So the mouse needed a plan to get the cat away from the table. His first idea was to make the cat chase him and then hide but then he thought of a safer idea, to go to the cat's toy basket and wind the cat's toy mouse up and make a squeak吱吱声 and let the toy mouse go. So while the cat was chasing the toy mouse the real mouse climbed on the table. When he was about to climb back down the cat came back to the kitchen to drink. So he needed another plan to get rid of the cat. His plan was to knock a cup of water over on the cat. Just then he saw the cat go to sleep. So he went back to the cat's toy basket and got someyarn and went back to the table and tied it to the cheese and lowered the cheese to the ground. Then he started pulling, but it was too hard to pull. So he got 112 mice to help him pull it to their hole in the wall. When they got there they had a nice meal together.

Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home,I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?" Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.
