The Dog And The Shadow 狗和它的影子
A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water, and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He therefore let go his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog, to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.
一條狗嘴裡叼塊肉,來到一座橋上.它看見水裡有自己的影子, 以為是另一條嘴裡也叼著一塊比自己那塊肉大一倍的狗.它忙丟下自己嘴裡的那塊肉,猛力地攻擊水裡的狗.試圖去搶它的肉.結果,它兩塊肉都得不到. 因為那隻是一個影子,它自己的影子而已.真正的肉也被水沖走了.

C. 英語的經典小故事

中文意思在底下:
Once upon a time an old man and woman lived in the mountains. Everyday the old man went to the mountain and collected firewood, while the old woman went to the river and did the laundry. One day, she was doing the washing when a big peach came floating down the river towards her. As it was a big and juicy-looking fruit, she thought that her husband would be glad to eat it so she took it home. When the old man came back for lunch and saw the nice peach, he was really happy. The old woman cut the big peach open with a knife. What a surprise! A lovely little boy was in the peach.

The old man and woman had no children so they were really grateful the gods had sent them a boy in this peach. Since he was born in a peach, they decided to call him Momotaro which means "peach-boy". The old woman cooked a meal for the little boy who ate as much as he could; the more he ate, the more he grew. Soon he became a tall and strong boy.

No matter how tall or strong he was, Momotaro was a lazy boy. Day after day, all he did was sleep and eat. In the village the other boys went to the mountain and picked firewood while Momotaro was the only one doing nothing. This worried the old man and the old woman, so they asked the other boys to try to make Momotaro go and work with them.

The boys then invited him, "Momotaro, would you come with us? We're going to collect firewood."

But he answered, "I haven't a basket, so I can't go with you" and went back to sleep.

The following day, they invited him again, "Momotaro, would you come with us? We're going to collect firewood."

And he answered them, "I haven't any sandals, so I can't go with you" and went back to sleep. Upon hearing this, the old woman got angry with Momotaro for being so lazy, so the next day he went to collect firewood with the other boys.

While the boys were working and collecting firewood, Momotaro took a nap. When the work was finished, the boys decided to go back to the village. Just then, Momotaro awoke and said to them, "I'll collect firewood and come back with you."

They retorted, "If you start working now, we'll get back too late."

Momotaro turned a deaf ear to them and went to a very big tree. Holding it by the middle, he uprooted it. Astonishing! All the boys could not believe their eyes! Thus the tall and strong Momotaro carried the big tree, while the other boys carried bundles of firewood back to the village. The old man and the old woman were amazed when they saw Momotaro carrying this very big tree as if it was a mere bundle of firewood.

The county lord happened to hear about this and wished to meet Momotaro. The next day Momotaro went to see the county lord. The lord said to him, "Ogres have been threatening and robbing my peasants for a long time. If you are as strong as I heard, you shall go and punish them." Momotaro then agreed to go to the Island of Ogres.

For his journey, the old man and woman baked some millet cookies and gave them to Momotaro. Away he went and on his way he met a dog.

"Momotaro, where are you going?" asked the dog.

"To the Island of Ogres, to punish them."

"And what are you bringing with you?"

"The best millet cookies of Japan."

"Can I have one and go with you?" offered the dog. Momotaro gave the dog a cookie and they went along together.

Soon they met a monkey.

"Momotaro, where are you going?" asked the monkey.

"To the Island of Ogres, to punish them."

"And what are you bringing with you?"

"The best millet cookies of Japan."

"Can I have one and go with you?" offered the monkey. Momotaro gave the monkey a cookie and the three of them went along together.

Then they met a pheasant.

"Momotaro, where are you going?" asked the pheasant.

"To the Island of Ogres, to punish them."

"And what are you bringing with you?"

"The best millet cookies of Japan."

"Can I have one and go with you?" offered the pheasant. So Momotaro gave the pheasant a cookie too.

Momotaro, the dog, the monkey and the pheasant went together to the Island of Ogres by boat. They were sailing but could not see the island, so the pheasant went up in the sky. He found the island and guided the boat. Soon they landed on the Island of Ogres. There on the island was a great big castle with a huge door. It was tightly closed, but the monkey jumped easily inside and opened the huge door.

Momotaro entered and said to the ogres, who were having a feast, "My name is Momotaro, and I came to punish you." The ogres laughed at him, but the dog ran in and bit them as Momotaro fought using his sword. Momotaro and his companions, having eaten the best millet cookies of Japan, knew no fear and were strong.

At last the ogres cried for mercy, "We shall never be bad again, please spare our lives."

The defeated ogres gave Momotaro their treasure. He took it and returned with his companions, who had eaten the best millet cookies of Japan and helped defeat the ogres. The old man and the old woman, who had been worrying about Momotaro, welcomed them back cheerfully.

After that Momotaro and the old man and woman lived happily together.

很久很久以前,一個地方住著老爺爺和老奶奶.通常,爺爺上山砍柴,奶奶去河邊洗衣服.一天,奶奶洗衣服時,一個大桃子一沉一浮地順水漂來.看到了這個桃子,奶奶就把它帶回了家,想讓爺爺嘗個鮮.吃中午飯時,爺爺從山裡回來了,看到了這個桃子後歡喜得不得了.兩個人剛剛將桃子切開,不由得嚇了一大跳,原來呀,一個活蹦亂眺的小男孩從桃子裡面跳了出來.

爺爺和奶奶沒有孩子,於是歡天喜地地認為孩子是天賜的,就把他叫做"桃太郎", 奶奶做好了飯給他吃,盡管桃太郎有點兒害怕,但仍然吃得很香甜.於是,桃太郎漸漸地長大了.

桃太郎不停地吃,不停地長,變成了一個大力士,同時也是一個大懶漢.每天的任務只是吃了睡,睡了吃.村裡的年輕人每日上山撿柴,可桃太郎卻什麼活也不幹.爺爺和奶奶挺擔心的,就拜託村裡年輕人說:"叫上桃太郎一起去吧."當他們來找桃太郎一起上山並說:"桃太郎,一塊兒打柴去吧"時,他卻推說:"沒有背簍,去不成啊."說完後,繼續睡午覺.第二天,這些年輕人又來邀桃太郎,他推諉道:"沒鞋,去不了哇."又過了一天,奶奶終於忍不住生氣了,沒有辦法,桃太郎不得不和村裡的年輕人們一起上山了.

大家在山裡拾柴,桃太郎卻只是睡大覺.等到大家收拾好柴簍要回家時,桃太郎說:"我也想拾點兒柴,然後一起回去吧."大家說:"天色都已經不早了,來不及了."就在這時, 桃太郎抓住了一棵大樹,突然間將它拔了出來,把大家嚇了一大跳.於是,他扛著大樹和大夥返回了村裡.見到了這種情況,爺爺和奶奶非常吃驚.這事傳到了大人的耳朵里,大人萌生了特別想見桃太郎的念頭.見了面,大人說:"前一陣兒總有壞魔鬼騷擾村民,偷盜各種物品器具.因為你很有力氣,那麼請你去征服魔鬼吧."因此,桃太郎伏鬼這件事就這么定了.

爺爺和奶奶作好了黃米面團給桃太郎帶上.就這樣他出發了.途中他遇到了一條狗, 狗問他,:
"桃太郎,你這是去哪兒呀."
"魔鬼要去島上,我正要去除鬼."
"那你腰間掛的是什麼呢?"
"最最好吃的黃米面團."
"給我一個好嗎,我和你一起去",狗說.
於是桃太郎給了狗一個黃米面團.
和狗一起繼續行進時,又遇到了一隻猴子,猴子問:"桃太郎,你這是去哪兒呀."
"魔鬼要去島上,我去除鬼."
"那你腰間掛的是什麼呢?"
"最最好吃的黃米面團."
"給我一個吧,我和你們一塊兒去",猴子說.
桃太郎又給了猴子一個黃米面團.
於是,桃太郎帶著狗和猴子繼續趕路了.這回跳出來一隻野雞.同樣地,野雞問他:
"桃太郎,你這是去哪兒呀."
"魔鬼要去島上,我去除鬼."
"你腰間掛著的是什麼呀?"
"最最好吃的黃米面團."
"給我一個吧,我和你們一塊兒去."

這樣,桃太郎又給了野雞一個黃米面團. 桃太郎,狗,猴子,野雞好不容易才到了海邊,因為魔鬼們已經去了島上,他們就劃船向海島出發了.搖啊搖,搖啊搖,怎麼也看不到那個島嶼.野雞就飛到了空中,觀察到了島嶼的位置,指揮著大家向那個地方劃去,這樣,大家到達了島上.島上有一座大城,城門緊閉, 猴子敏捷地爬到了門里,將門栓摘掉,把門打開了.而魔鬼們仍一無所知地又是喝酒又是唱歌.桃太郎大聲喝道:"我乃桃太郎是也,前來消除你們.

"魔鬼們見他們勢單力薄,並不把他們放在眼裡.但是,吃了最最好吃的黃米面團後精力充沛的桃太郎和夥伴們並肩作戰, 瞬間就把魔鬼們打得落花流水.

魔鬼們賠罪說:"我們歸還搶盜來的寶物,決不再做壞事了,給我們留一條活路吧." 懲治了魔鬼後,桃太郎和夥伴們帶著寶物回到了村裡.正擔驚受怕的爺爺和奶奶見狀非常高興.從那以後,桃太郎與爺爺和奶奶一直過著幸福愉快的生活.

D. 閱讀英語故事短文能對英語學習起到什麼作用

網路知道是國內做的比較好的問答平台，所以希望我的回答不止能夠幫助到你回一個人！到現在外語幾答乎已經成為了我們的第二語言，但是很多人學習了很久還是學不好。但其實有很多學習方法是很有用的，只是你不夠堅持，不夠努力
其中你提到的看故事短文就是其中一個簡單卻很有用的方法，外語的本質是一門語言，語言的基礎是什麼？是詞彙量，我們在學的時候不能只局限於課本內的詞彙，多看看課外的名著或者短文可以有效的積攢詞彙量。
除此之外，在讀的過程中一定不能偷懶要勤做積累，把看到的難點詞彙和句子積累下來進行重復溫習效果才會更好！

Rapunzel
upon a time, there lived an old couple in a village. The old couple prayed every day that they might have a baby. One day, an old woman moved into the house next door. The Old woman raised lettuce that looked very tasty and delicious.
The old wife wanted to eat the lettuce from next door, and she constantly pestered her husband to let her eat that mouth-watering lettuce. "Dear, I want to have that lettuce." Without knowing what else to do, the husband crept next door and stole the old woman's lettuce.
However, the woman next door was a witch, and she noticed that the husband of her neighbor had stolen the lettuce. The witch said, "You dare to steal another's lettuce. You deserve to be punished." The husband said, "I am sorry, but my wife wants to have the lettuce very much."
The witch said, "Is that so? Then you can take as much as you want. But there is a condition." The husband asked, "What is it?" The witch said, "If a baby is born, you have to give me the child." After a while, his wife got pregnant and gave birth to a pretty girl. The witch swiftly crept off with the baby girl and disappeared into the forest.
She gave the name Rapunzel to the girl, and this child grew up fast to become a beautiful lady. Yet the witch was afraid of losing Rapunzel, so she locked her up in a tower.

One day, a Prince happened to pass by the tower. The Prince lost his heart to the beautiful singing voice of Rapunzel. "How can I climb up to the tower?" The Prince decided to wait under the tower until he saw an opportunity.
On the next day, the Prince saw that the witch climbed up to the tower on the lovely yellow hair of Rapunzel. After the witch left the tower, the Prince imitated the witch. He said, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, please let down your golden hair." Then the long hair was dropped from the inside of the tower.
Upon seeing Rapunzel, the Prince fell instantly in love with her. He said, "You are the most beautiful lady in the world." Rapunzel also lost her heart to the handsome prince. The two lovers met each other every night, hiding from the eyes of the witch.
However one day, the witch found out about these secret meetings, cut off the hair of Rapunzel, and sent her to a desert. Then the witch dropped down the cut hair to the Prince, as he came to see Rapunzel. When the Prince climbed up the tower, holding the cut hair, the witch cast off the ladder sending the Prince crashing to the ground. m.niuyingyu.cn

At that moment, the Prince gained his eyesight again with the power of love. Then the two people returned to the royal palace and lived happily ever after.

F. 2篇英文故事的內容概要

Susan和Nancy
作者：小巫 2008-04-08 22:59:53
標簽： 雜談

Susan想，要找，就找一個最後會嫁給他的男人，Susan還想，哪怕結了婚又離婚，也可以。這就是的愛情觀。

Nancy是Susan最好的朋友，好到她們自己都不知道為什麼世界上還有這樣一個可以為了彼此什麼都不管不顧的朋友。從小學開始，一直到大學都是同學，慢慢的發展成親密的朋友。Susan想，自己一定是一個能讓別人感動的人，她會在不告訴Nancy的情況下，突然去離她很遠的Y城，拿著Nancy喜歡吃的家鄉特產出現在她的面前，傻傻的笑著說：「看，我給你帶了什麼？」

Nancy是個很獨立的女孩，一直都讓自己堅強起來。而實際上在很多人眼裡，Nancy就是那個樣子，做事總是很有努力，像一個工作狂一樣可以好幾天不睡覺，忘記吃飯。在Nancy的記憶中，童年的經歷讓她變得有時候很理智，不相信一些看不到抓不到的東西。Susan是單親家庭，跟媽媽生活，媽媽是個女強人，有自己的公司，開自己的寶馬，住自己的別墅，有自己的員工。Susan常一個人呆在家裡，喜歡比自己年齡大的男人。Susan想，也許自己只是想找個「爸」。需索來自那個男人的沒有回報的愛，那個能讓她安全的男人，在遇到問題的時候，她只需要站在他的身後，即可。

可是，這樣的愛在那麼多人眼中都是可怕的，他們總是告訴Susan，你太天真了，會上當受騙的，甚至連Nancy也這樣說。

Nancy和Susan都喜歡安妮的書，從《告別薇安》到《蓮花》和《素年錦時》，她們都包上漂亮的書皮放在枕頭邊上。即便後來生活都變了，安妮也變了，那種貌似戀物癖的習慣還是沒有辦法改變。就像Susan喜歡的青蛙玩偶，Nancy喜歡的漂亮火機和木吉他。曾經因為一些人或者一些事，後來只是習慣了。彷彿與生俱來就依戀的。就像她們彼此。

Susan想，如果以後跟Nancy住在一起，不用很大的房子，睡一張雙人床，有設備齊全的廚房和浴室就好。她一定會早起給Nancy做早飯。或者一壺奶茶，或者一碗鹹粥……Susan想，看著Nancy睡夢中的樣子一定很幸福。Susan知道，Nancy給她的愛僅次於來自媽媽的愛，在某些方面，甚至有些超越。

Nancy第一次有那種來自心底的痛苦是因為Susan，到現在Nancy都能想起來那個飄著雪的春天，在電腦前那種歇斯底里的感覺，眼淚流下來的時候Nancy感覺整個世界都陪她難過了。Nancy不知道為什麼會對Susan有那麼深的依戀，想要站在她的身邊，無論什麼時候。Susan應該也還記得，Nancy曾經對Susan說，如果你指給我一個人，我會義無反顧地愛上他。

Susan喜歡黃河，想春天到來的時候要去看它。Susan喜歡《黃河絕戀》裡面，寧靜站在黃河邊，伸展雙臂時陶醉的表情。Susan不知道Nancy會不會像陪她一起去。

Susan和Nancy有個朋友叫剛子，認識有十幾年了，喜歡聽可米小子的《青春紀念冊》，每次去Susan家，他總讓屋子裡回響它的旋律。可Susan不喜歡。Susan不明白它唱的是什麼主題，友誼，還是愛情？Nancy經常會想起高中時三個人一起喝早茶，打檯球，翻校門出去玩的時候。只是現在大家離的遠了，身邊的人你走了我來了，在也找不到當時的感覺了。

Nancy去上大學的時候Susan去復讀了。Susan已經記不得當初Nancy為什麼會選擇那麼遠的大學，Nancy自己也記不清了，為什麼那個自己從來沒有去過的地方會讓自己充滿幻想。去上大學的路上Nancy路過Susan的高中，帶了家裡煮的排骨和牛肉乾去看Susan。可是Susan那天一直都關機，怎麼都聯系不上。Nancy沒有去過，只好去教室門口等著Susan上晚自習。Nancy記得當Susan驚訝得看到站在門口的Nancy時眼圈都紅了。然後Susan曠課帶著Nancy去逛那個小縣城的夜市，到現在Nancy和Susan說起來那天晚上吃的大紅棗還是覺得那麼香甜。

Susan一個人補習的那段日子真是煎熬，經常接到Nancy從遙遠的海邊打過來的電話，聽見Nancy在電話的那邊哭得很傷心。Susan學會了抽煙，尤其是喜歡和Nancy一起的時候抽煙，Susan自己也不知道為什麼會想抽煙，也許就是喜歡那種有點暈有點醉的感覺。

日子過得很快，Susan已經習慣過節的時候收到Nancy從遠遠的地方寄過來的包裝精緻的糖果，Nancy也習慣穿著Susan買的衣服自信的走在陌生的城市。Susan以為Nancy好久都不會戀愛的，況且很多人都是這樣認為，連Nancy自己都覺得愛上一個人是一件很難經營的事情。可是Susan看到Nancy的身邊有了一個誰的時候，忽然就有那麼一點點難過了。其實應該為Nancy感覺幸福的，又那樣一個人對Nancy好，何嘗不是一種福氣呢，Susan這樣想。可是Susan自己也不知道，為什麼會有一點點難過，彷彿自己心愛的布娃娃忽然不見了一樣。

Nancy做了一個夢，不知道到底夢到了什麼，只是忽然很想誰。Nancy知道他對自己很好，所以很珍惜。只是看到Susan的愛情那麼不順利，也不敢幻想什麼了。Nancy總是說，人要拿得起放得下，可是Nancy知道，這也去就是自己的劫難，放不下了。

Susan很敏感，但又很遲鈍。自己喜歡的男人很久不與她聯系了，她卻不知道那意味著什麼。躺在床上的時候忽然想起過去的許許多多，覺得難過得心疼。

Nancy想起一句曾經寫小說的時候寫道，思念就像一顆仙人球，悄悄住進我的心裡，此的我內心一陣陣發痛發緊。

Nancy流眼淚的時候會忍不住給Susan發個信息，我想你了，晚安。Susan睡覺總是關機，只是Nancy知道，Susan會有感應，在夢里也會聽到她的聲音。

G. 用英語描述一個經典故事

女媧補天
Nv Wa Mends the Sky
In ancient times, thefour corners of the sky collapsed and the world with its nine regions splitopen. The sky could not cover all the things under it, nor could the earthcarry all the things on it. A great fire raged and would not die out; a fierceflood raced about and could not be checked. Savage beasts devoured innocentpeople; vicious birds preyed on the weak and old.
Then Nv Wa meltedrocks of five colours and used them to mend the cracks in the sky. Shesupported the four corners of the sky with the legs she had cut off from agiant turtle. She killed the black dragon to save the people of Jizhou, andblocked the flood with the ashes of reeds.
Thus the sky wasmended, its four corners lifted, the flood tamed, Jizhou pacified, and harmfulbirds and beasts killed, and the innocent people were able to live on thesquare earth under the dome of the sky. It was a time when birds, beasts,insects and snakes no longer used their claws or teeth or poisonous stings, forthey did not want to catch or eat weaker things.
NvWa's deeds benefited the heavens above and the earth below. Her name wasremembered by later generations and her light shone on every creation.
