自從寓言成為一種獨(dú)立的文體，就顯出別具一格的文學(xué)意味。以下是小編整理的寓言故事，希望對(duì)你有幫助哦

　　《小偷和他的母親》

　　A young man was caught stealing, and sentenced to death three days later.

　　一個(gè)小偷被抓住了，被判處死刑，三天后執(zhí)行。

　　He wanted to speak with his mother before the execution. Of course this was granted.

　　他想在行刑前與他的母親話(huà)別，得到了允許。

　　When his mother came to him, he said, "I want to tell you something." He said something but she could not hear.

　　當(dāng)他媽媽來(lái)到他的面前，他說(shuō)：“告訴你一件事。”他輕輕說(shuō)了一遍，但是她聽(tīng)不到;等她走近些，

　　He whispered again, and when she came close to him, she put her ear to his mouth. He nearly bit off her ear. All the bystanders were horrified.

　　小偷又輕聲說(shuō)了一遍。母親將耳朵貼近時(shí)，兒子突然咬住母親的耳朵，差點(diǎn)撕下來(lái)，周?chē)娜硕俭@呆了。

　　"It is to punish her," he said. "When I was young I began stealing little things, and brought them home to mother. "Instead of punishing me, she laughed and said, ‘It will not be noticed.‘ It is because of her that I am here today."

　　“這是對(duì)她的懲罰，”小偷說(shuō)，“我小時(shí)候小偷小摸，把偷的東西帶回家時(shí)，她不但不懲罰我，反而笑著說(shuō)‘別讓人看見(jiàn)。’就是因?yàn)樗也怕鋫€(gè)今天這樣的下場(chǎng)。”

　　《禿鷲的視力》

　　It was said that the eye of the vulture could see everything clearly as he gazed down from high above.

　　據(jù)說(shuō)，禿鷲從高處向下俯視，一切都能清楚地盡收眼底。

　　A vulture once bragged to the crow, "No one's eyesight can be better than mine."

　　一次，禿鷲對(duì)烏鴉吹噓：“誰(shuí)的視力也不如我的好。”

　　"You're just boasting about your eyesight without any evidence," said the crow. "If it were so, then tell me what you can see in the wilderness."

　　烏鴉說(shuō)："空口無(wú)憑，既然你夸耀自己的眼力，那請(qǐng)說(shuō)說(shuō)在曠野上你看到了什么東西? "

　　The vulture answered, "Don't mock me when I say this, that there is a wheat grain in the wasteland of the wilderness?"

　　禿鷲答：¨我若說(shuō)出來(lái)你可別笑我，有一顆麥粒掉落在曠野的 土地上。"

　　The crow was skeptical over what the vulture said, so both of them flew down towards that place to have a look.

　　烏鴉聽(tīng)了心中置疑。于是它們一同往下飛去看個(gè)究竟。

　　As the vulture's position was just above the grain* a net was cast from above and he was trapped.

　　當(dāng)禿鷲飛到那顆麥粒上方時(shí)，忽然背后有一張大網(wǎng)撒了下來(lái)，它被罩住了。

　　It never occurred to the vulture that he could be trapped as he prepared to peck at the grain.

　　禿鷲萬(wàn)萬(wàn)沒(méi)想到就在它啄那顆麥粒的時(shí)候，卻被罩住了。

　　The crow sighed and said, "Oh vulture, what is the use if you can see the small grain but could not see the trap set up by the enemy?"

　　烏鴉嘆息道：“禿鷲啊，你看到麥粒有何用，你卻看不到敵人設(shè)置的陷阱。"

　　Trapped in the net, the vulture was resigned to his fate. He said, "One cannot escape losing his life in a vast and boundless ocean* no matter how good a swimmer he is.

　　而那落人獵入網(wǎng)中的禿鷲感嘆著它的命運(yùn)。它說(shuō)：“在一片浩瀚無(wú)際的大海里，再高明的游泳者也在劫難逃"

　　《風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)》

　　The wind and the sun were disputing who was the stronger.

　　Suddenly they saw a traveler coming down the road. The sun said, "Whoever can make the traveler take off his coat will be the stronger."

　　So the sun hid behind a cloud, and the wind began to blow as hard as it could. As the wind blew harder, the traveler wrapped his coat more closely around himself.

　　Then the sun came out. He shone on the traveler. The traveler soon felt quite hot, and took off his coat.

　　風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)兩方為誰(shuí)的能量大相互爭(zhēng)論不休。突然，他們看到一個(gè)行人走在路上，太陽(yáng)說(shuō)：“誰(shuí)能使行人脫下衣服，誰(shuí)就更強(qiáng)大。” 太陽(yáng)藏在烏云后面，風(fēng)開(kāi)始拼命地吹，風(fēng)刮得越猛烈，行人越是裹緊自己的衣服。 太陽(yáng)出來(lái)了，暖暖地曬著行人，行人感到很熱，很快就把外套脫了下來(lái)。 寓意: 勸說(shuō)往往比強(qiáng)迫更為有效。
