英文寓言故事1

The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating man's behavior.

南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distiller's grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure them into traps and cursed:

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂:

"Humph! Do you think we don't know your tricks? We'll never be taken in!"

“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

So they called one another, turned round and left.

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldn't bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation, they finally said to themselves:

但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说:

"Just for a taste of the wine. It won't matter as long as we don't get drunk."

“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

意怠免患

according to legend, there was a kind of birds called "dais" (swallow) on the east china sea.

the yidais were slow in reaction. they could not fly very high and seemed clumsy andincapable1.

but when they moved about, they always moved in groups, depended on one another for survival, and flew and landed together.

when they advanced, no one dared to advance rashly. when they retreated, no one dared to fall behind at will. when they fed, no one dared to scramble2 to be the first. all their activities were orderly.

when they went into action,万 dais always acted uniformly without any disorder3. they depended upon the collective efforts to avoid any harm from the outside world.

传说，东海上有一种叫做“意怠”的鸟。

意怠反应比较迟钝，不能高飞，似乎笨拙无能。

但是，它们行动的时候，总是成群结队，相依为命，一起飞翔，一起降落。

它们前进的时候，没有一只敢擅自冒进;后退的时候，没有一只敢随便掉队;吃食的时候，也没有一只敢抢先。一切活动，都很有秩序。

意怠行动起来总是这样一致而不散乱，它们就是靠着集体的力量来避免外界对自己的伤害。
