1.英语成语故事简短Once upon a time, there was a farmer.One day, while he was working in the fields, he saw a hare run into a tree stump accidentally and die of a broken neck.The farmer took the hare home and cooked a delicious meal for himself.That night he thought: "I neednt work so hard. All I have to do is wait every day by the stump to pick up the hare that runs into it.So from then on he gave up farming, and stood by the tree stump waiting for the hare to come and run into it.Butfromthen on, he never saw another hare run into the tree stump. 从前，有一个农夫。

一天，在他耕田的时候，忽然跑过来一只野兔，恰好碰在一个树桩上，脖子折断死了。

农夫把兔子拾回家去，美美地吃了一顿兔肉。

当晚，他就想：“我何必辛辛苦苦的种地呢？每天在树桩旁等着捡撞倒的野兔就好了”。

于是他从此不再耕种，每天在树桩旁等待野兔的到来。

但是，从那以后，他再没有发现一只野兔撞在树桩上。

2.英语成语故事简短In the reign of Emperor the Second of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 B.C.), the prime minister Zhao Gao, obsessed with ambitions, was planning to usurp the throne day and night. But he did not know how many of the ministers in the court were allowed to be ordered about by him and how many of them were his opponents. So he thought out a way to test how high his prestige among the ministers was and also to find out who dared to oppose him.One day when court was held, Zhao Gao let someone bring a stag to the court and, with a broad smile on his face, he said to Emperor the Second of the Qin Dynasty:"Your Majesty, here is a fine horse Im presenting to you." Looking at the animal, Emperor the Second thought that it was obviously a stag and that it couldnt be a horse. So he said smilingly to Zhao Gao:"Mister Prime Minister, you are wrong. This is a stay. Why do you say it is a horse?" Remaining calm, Zhao Gao said:"Will your Majesty please see more clearly? This really is a horse that covers a thousand li a day." Filled with suspicion, Emperor the Second looked at the stag again and said:"How can the antlers be grown on the head of a horse?" Turning around and pointing his finger at the ministers, Zhao Gao said in a loud voice:"if our Majesty do not believe me, you can ask the ministers."The nonsense of Zhao Gao made the ministers totally at a lose, and they whispered to themselves: What tricks was Zhao Gao playing? Was it not obvious whether it was a stag or a horse? But when they saw the sinister smile on Zhao Gaos face and his two rolling eyes which were gazing at each of them, they suddenly understood his evil intentions.Some of the ministers who were timid and yet had a sense of right eousness did not dare to say anything, because to tell lies would make their conscience uneasy and to tell the truth would mean that they would be persecuted by Zhao Gao later. Some ministers with a sense of justice persisted that it was a stag and not a horse. There were still some crafty and fawning ministers who followed Zhao Gao closely in ordinary times. They immediately voiced their support to Zhao Gao, saying to the emperor:"This really in a horse that covers a thousand li a day."After the event, Zhao Gao punished by various means those ministers with a sense of justice who were not obedient to him, even with whole families of some of those ministers executed.This story appears in "The Life of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty" in The Historical Records written by Sima Qian. From this story people have derived the set phrase "calling a stag a horse" to mean deliberately misrepresenting some thing and misleading the public.秦二世时，丞相赵高野心勃勃，日夜盘算着要篡夺皇位。

英语寓言小故事15则（带翻译）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 th is 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 tocheck 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。

聪明的小裁缝(the clever little tailor)（聪明的小裁缝（聪明的小裁缝））聪明的小裁缝从前有一位公主非常骄傲，如果有人来向她求婚，她会给他一个谜语，如果他猜不出，他就会被嘲笑，然后打包。

她也让大家知道，无论谁猜她谜语的答案，都应该嫁给她，不管他是谁。

事实上，三个裁缝在同一时间做同样的尝试。

两大认为他们已经成功的许多精细的针线活，他们会出错而且一定会成功的；第三是一个不负责任的、轻浮的年轻人甚至不知道他的交易正确但以为他会有这样的运气，如果没有，那么什么运气将他在其他任何时候都。

其他两人对他说：“你最好呆在家里，你的羽毛不会成功的。

”但小裁缝不会推迟，说他全身心的投入和管理所有权利；他出发了，如sauntering沿整个世界属于他。

于是他们三个人都出现在公主面前，要求她把谜语告诉他们：她会发现，这次她已经遇见了她的对手，因为他们的智力非常敏锐，你可以和他们一起用针线。

公主说：“我头上有两种头发，它们是什么颜色的？”“这很容易，”第一个说，“我认为它们是黑色和白色的，就像他们称之为胡椒和盐的布料。

”公主说：“你猜错了，让你的第二个回答。

”第二个说：“如果不是黑白的，那么它是棕色的和红色的，就像我尊敬的父亲的礼服外套。

”“又错了，”公主说。

让第三个回答，我能看出来他肯定知道。

”于是小裁缝大胆的走上前说：“公主有银色和金色的头发，这是两种颜色。

公主一听这话，她脸色苍白，差点昏倒，因为年轻的小裁缝猜对了，而她一直深信这个世界上没有人可以做到。

当她恢复过来时，她说：“这还不能给你嫁给我的权利，你还得先做点别的事。

在马厩里有一只熊，你必须和它过夜。

如果明天早上我起床的时候你还活着，那么你就应该嫁给我了。

”但是她认为她会用这种方法摆脱年轻的裁缝，因为从来没有人进入这只熊的魔掌，活着讲述这个故事。

但小裁缝并不气馁。

”不冒险，无所获，”他愉快地评论道。

那天晚上，我们的年轻朋友被带到了熊的巢穴。
