中国寓言故事英文 中国寓言故事英文篇1：鼯鼠五会 In the fields, there was a small animal called "wu shu" (the flying squirrel). It would say to everyone it met: "I have five skills: flying, walking, swimming, climbing trees, and digging holes in the ground." Thereupon, its pals would laugh at it, saying: "Though you have learned these skills, you have mastered none of them." "You can fly, but not high;you can swim, but not far;
you can climb trees, but not to the treetop;
you can dig holes in the ground, but not deep enough." When the flying squirrel heard what its pals said, it ran away manger. Indeed, the flying squirrel had learned five skills, but when put to use, they were useless. How could they be called real skills 田野里有一种小动物，名叫“鼯鼠”。
它逢友便说：“我有五种本领：会飞、会走、会游泳、会爬树、还会 掘土打洞。” 于是，小伙伴们讥笑它说：“你虽然学了这几种本领，却一种也没有 学好。” “会飞，却飞得不高;会游泳，却游得不远;会爬树，却爬不到树顶;会 掘土打洞，却打得不深。” 鼯鼠听了小伙伴们的话后，气呼呼地跑了。
是啊，鼯鼠是学了五种本领，但是用起来，却一种也不中用。这怎么 能说是有真本领呢! 中国寓言故事英文篇2：楚人涉瘫 Once upon a time, the State of Chu planned to attack the State of Song. But the Yong River was the natural barrier against its surprise attack at night.To overcome this obstacle, the State of Chu sent men to secretly measure the depth of the Yong River and make marks for wading across the river at night. But when night came, the water in the Yong River suddenly rose;
yet the Chu army still tried to stealthily cross the river according to the marks made in the daytime. As a result, over 1,000 soldiers were drowned. There was utter chaos of desperate cries and shoutings on the river. All at once, the army collapsed like a fallen building, and was routed. According to the marks, the Chu army would have been able to cross the Yong River during the day;
but the rising water changed the situation in the night. Yet the Chu army still tried towade across the river according to the marks made in the daytime, so naturally they failed. 古时候，有一次，楚国准备进攻宋国，而瘫河是楚国夜间偷袭宋国的 天然障碍。
为了越过这个障碍，楚国派人悄悄地去测量滩水的深度，并且做好了 夜间涉水过河的标记。
谁知到了夜里，滩河的水暴涨，水位升一高。但是，楚国人却仍然按 照白天做的标记偷渡，结果淹死了一千多人。河面上哭声喊声一片混乱，顿时， 队伍就像房屋倒塌一样，溃不成军。
按照所做的标记，楚军白天是可以渡过滩河的;然而，夜间水情已经 发生变化，楚军却仍然按照白天的标记渡河，自然他们要失败了。
中国寓言故事英文篇3：唇亡齿寒 Between the States of Jin and Guo was the State of Yu. Once, the State of Jin intended to invade the State of Guo and had to seek for permission to go by way of the State of Yu. The King of Jin was worried that the State of Yu would refuse to consent. Xun Xi, a high official of the State of Jin, offered his scheme to the King. He said: "If you offer that piece of round jade and that fine steed as gifts to the King of Yu to ask his permission, he is sure to give his consent." The King of Jin said: "The round jade from Chuiji is an heirloom from my ancestors. The fine steed from Qudi is a great favorite of mine. If the King of Yu accepted our gifts, yet would not give us permission, what shall we do then" Xun Xi replied: "That is not likely. If the King of Yu does not consent to give us permission, he certainly dares not accept our gifts. If he accepts our gifts and gives us permission, that will be like moving the round jade from the storehouseinside to the storehouse outside, and the fine horse from the stable inside to the stable outside. Why should you worry" Sure enough, the King of Yu, coveting the round jade and the fine horse, was ready to give permission. At this moment, his high official Gong Ziqi quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, saying: "You shouldn"t give your consent! The State of Guo is our neighbour. Its relation with us is just like that of the lips with the teeth. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If we give permission to let the State of Jin invade the State of Guo, then when the latter is subjugated, will our state still be safe That absolutely won"t do!" The King of Yu did not listen to Gong Ziqi"s advice and consented to the request of the State of Jin. Soon, Xun Xi led his forces and conquered the State of Guo. Three years later, the State of Jin conquered the State of Yu, too. Carrying the round jade and leading the fme horse, Xun Xi returned in triumph and gave them back to the King of Jin. Immensely pleased, the King of Jin smiled and said: "The round jade remains the same;
only the fine steed has aged a bit." 晋国和掳国的中间，隔着一个虞国。
有一次，晋国要去进攻掳国，得向虞国借路，国王担心虞国不答应。
晋国的大臣荀息向国王献计，说：“如果您把那块璧玉和那匹良马送 给虞公，向他借路，那么他一定会答应的。” 晋王说：“垂棘的璧玉是我祖先的传家宝;屈地的良马是我最喜欢的骏 马。如果虞王接受了我们的礼物，却又不肯借路，那怎么办呢” 荀息回答说：“不会。如果虞王不答应借路，必然不敢接受我们的礼 物;如果他接受了礼物，把路借给我们，就好像将璧玉从里边的仓库放到外边的 仓库，把良马从里边的马厩拴到外边的马厩里一样，您何必担心呢!” 虞王果然贪图璧玉良马，想答应借路。
这时候，他的大臣宫子奇急忙上前劝阻，说：“不能答应!掳国是我们 的邻邦，跟我们的关系，就像嘴唇和牙齿一样。唇亡齿寒，如果借路给晋国去进 攻掳国，掳国被灭亡了，我们虞国还会安全吗万万不能答应!”虞王没有听宫子奇的话，还是答应了晋国的要求。
不久，荀息带领兵马，灭了掳国。三年后，晋国又灭了虞国。荀息捧 着璧玉，牵着骏马，凯旋而归，把这两件国宝奉还给了晋王。
晋王得意地笑着说：“璧玉依旧，只是骏马老了点儿!”
