一位老婦有隻貓，這隻貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這隻老鼠，然而，它咬不住這隻老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。

於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這隻貓，貓説：“不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這麼無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。”

When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him. This soon wakened the lion. He was very angry, and caught the mouse in his paws.

"Forgive me, please." cried the little mouse. "I may be able to help you someday." The lion was tickled at these words.

He thought, "How could this little mouse help me?" However he lifted up his paws and let him go.

A few days later, the lion was caught in a trap.

The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so they tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.

Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion.

He went up to him, and soon gnawed away the ropes. "Was I not right?" asked the little mouse.

獅子與報恩的老鼠

獅子睡着了，有隻老鼠在他的周圍爬上爬下，很快吵醒了獅子，獅子很生氣，一把抓住了老鼠。

“饒了我吧，”老鼠請求説，“也許有一天我能幫上你的忙呢。”獅子覺得很好笑，他想：“這隻小老鼠怎麼能幫上我的忙？”但他還是抬起爪子放他走了。

不久，獅子被陷阱困住了。獵人們想將活獅子獻給國王，就把他捆在一棵大樹上，然後去找馬車。

這時，老鼠路過這裏，看到了絕望中的獅子。他走過去，很快啃斷了繩索，説：“我雖小，可是我也能幫上你的忙。”

寓意: 有些朋友也許平時看似微不足道，但卻有可能在我們身處困境的時候提供巨大的幫助。

英語短篇小故事帶翻譯簡單 篇三

A singing-bird was confined1 in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came and clung2 to the bars of the cage, and asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. "I have a very good reason for doing so," said the bird: "it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice, and set his nets for me and caught me. Since then I have never sung except by night." But the bat replied, "It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner. If only you had done so before you were caught, you might still have been free."

Precautions3 are useless after the event.

一隻畫眉鳥被囚禁在窗外掛着的一個籠子裏，當其他鳥兒都酣睡時，她卻在夜裏唱歌。有一個夜晚，蝙蝠飛過來，抓住鳥籠的。柵欄，問她為什麼白天默默無聲，卻在夜裏放聲歌唱。小鳥回答説：“我這樣做是有道理的，曾經有一次，當我在白天唱歌時，一個捕鳥人被我的歌聲吸引，就用鳥籠子捉住了我。從此我只在夜裏歌唱。”可是，蝙蝠卻説：“你現在這樣做根本沒用了，因為你已經成為階下囚。若是在被捉住之前這樣做就好了，那樣或許你依然是自由之身！”

待事情發生之後再預防，為時已晚。

英語短篇小故事帶翻譯簡單 篇四

A wild ass1 saw a pack-ass jogging along under a heavy load, and taunted2 him with the condition of slavery in which he lived, in these words: "What a vile3 lot is yours compared with mine! I am free as the air, and never do a stoke of work; and, as for fodder4, I have only to go to the hills and there I find far more than enough for my needs. But you! You depend on your master for food, and he makes you carry heavy loads every day and beats you unmercifully." At that moment a lion appeared on the scene, and made no attempt to molest5 the pack-ass owing to the presence of the driver, but he fell upon the wild ass, who had no one to protect him, and without more ado made a meal of him.

It is no use being your own master unless you can stand up for yourself.

一頭野驢看到一頭家驢揹負這沉重的貨物一路小跑，便譏諷他過着奴隸般的生活：“和我相比，你過得多麼卑微呀！我自由自在地享受着大自然，從不下苦力，説道食物，我只需要跑到山上去，就能發現大量吃的東西。再看看你！只能依靠主人施捨吃點，他不僅每天都讓你馱重物，還無情地鞭打你。”這時，一隻獅子出現在他們的視野中，由於驢夫的出現，獅子沒有騷擾家驢，直接撲向了沒有保護者的野驢，立即吃掉了野驢。

除非能照顧好自己，否則做自己的主人一點用也沒有。

A self-important lion in the jungle tried to make his mastery clear to all.

He was so confident that he paid no attention to the smaller animals and went right up to a bear. He asked the bear, "Who is the king of the jungle?" The bear replied, "Of course you are."

Then the lion asked a tiger the same question. The tiger replied with some reluctance1, "Of course you are." And then he went to ask an elephant. But the elephant would not allow the lion to do so. He suddenly took hold of the lion with his long nose and bounced2 the lion against a tree, leaving him bleeding3 and badly shaken up.

When the lion finally got up, he blamed the elephant and said: "Even if you couldn't answer my question, it's not necessary for you to act so rough4."

熱帶叢林裏的一個妄自菲薄的獅子試圖使所有的動物都明白它的統治地位。

它非常自信，對較小的動物不屑一顧，而是直接去問一隻黑熊：“誰是叢林裏的大王呀？” 黑熊回答説：“當然是你呀。”

於是它又去問一個老虎同樣的問題。老虎有點勉強地回答説：“當然是你呀！”然後他又去問一頭大象。可是大象不買它的賬，突然用它的長鼻子把獅子抓起來向一棵樹扔過去，讓它鮮血淋漓和渾身發抖。

獅子終於爬起來時，它責怪大象説：“即使你回答不了我的問題，也用不着這麼粗魯嘛。”

英語短篇小故事帶翻譯簡單 篇六

A wolf was almost dead with hunger. A house-dog saw him, and asked, "Friend, your irregular life will soon ruin you.

"Why don't you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly?"

"I would have no objection," said the wolf, "if I could only get a place." "I will help you," said the dog. "Come with me to my master, and you shall share my work."

So the wolf and the dog went to the town the way the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog's felt quite surprised, and asked him why it was like that?

"Oh, it is nothing," said the dog. "Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up. You will soon get used to it."

"Is that the only reason?" said the wolf. "Then good-bye to you, my friend. I would rather be free."

翻譯：

一隻狼快要餓死了，一隻狗看見後問他：“你現在的無規律的生活一定會毀掉你，為什麼不像我一樣穩定地幹活並有規律地獲得食物呢？”

狼説：“如果我有個地方住，我沒有意見。”狗回答説：“跟我到主人那裏去，我們一起工作。”於是狼和狗一起回到了村子。

在路上，狼注意到狗的脖子上有一圈沒有毛，他很奇怪地問為什麼會那樣。

“噢，沒有什麼，”狗説，“我的主人每天晚上都用一條鐵鏈子拴住我，你很快就會習慣的。”“就是因為這個原因嗎？”狼説道，“那麼，再見了，我的朋友，我寧願選擇自由。”

寓意: 自由比安樂更重要。
