狼和人

Once upon a time the fox was talking to the wolf about the strength of man, how no animal could withstand him, and how all were obliged to employ cunning in order to protect themselves from him.

The wolf answered, "If I could see a man just once, I would attack him nonetheless."

"I can help you to do that," said the fox. "Come to me early tomorrow morning, and I will show you one."

The wolf arrived on time, and the fox took him out to the path which the huntsman used every day. First an old discharged soldier came by.

"Is that a man?" asked the wolf.

"No," answered the fox. "He has been one."

Afterwards came a little boy on his way to school.

"Is that a man?"

"No, he will yet become one."

Finally a huntsman came by with his double-barreled gun on his back, and a sword at his side.

The fox said to the wolf, "Look, there comes a man. He is the one you must attack, but I am going back to my den."

The wolf then charged at the man.

When the huntsman saw him he said, "Too bad that I have not loaded with a bullet." Then he aimed and fired a load of shot into his face.

The wolf pulled an awful face, but did not let himself be frightened, and attacked him again, on which the huntsman gave him the second barrel. The wolf swallowed his pain and charged at the huntsman again, who in turn drew out his naked sword, and gave him a few blows with it left and right, so that, bleeding all over, he ran howling back to the fox.

"Well," Brother Wolf, said the fox, "how did you get along with man?"

"Oh," replied the wolf, "I never imagined the strength of man to be what it is. First, he took a stick from his shoulder, and blew into it, and then something flew into my face which tickled me terribly. Then he breathed once more into the stick, and it flew up my nose like lightning and hail. Then when I got next to him, he drew a naked rib out of his body, and he beat me so with it that he almost killed me." "See what a braggart you are," said the fox. "You throw your hatchet so far that you cannot get it back again."

从前有只狐狸向狼谈起人的力量，说没有动物能抵挡得了，所以他认为所有动物都必须施展计谋才能保护自己。可狼回答说：“假如我有机会碰到一个人，我就扑上去让他无法抵挡。”狐狸说：“我可以帮你碰到人啊。明早你早点来我家，我把他指给你看。” 第二天，狼很早就来了，狐狸带它来到猎人每天的必经之路。

他们碰到的第一个人是个退役老兵，狼问：“那是个人吗？”

“不是，”狐狸回答，“他以前是。”

接着他们遇到一个去上学的小男孩。“那是个人吗？”狼又问。“不是。”

狐狸回答说，“他将来是。”最后一个猎人朝它们走来，他肩上扛着双筒猎鎗，腰间还插着一把猎刀，狐狸对狼说：“那个就是人，你该朝他扑过去，我可是要回我洞里去了。” 於是狼朝猎人冲了过去。猎人一看说：“真可惜我没装上子弹，而是散弹。”他瞄准狼的脸开了一枪。狼疼得一阵痉挛，可还是没被吓倒，又朝猎人冲了过去。猎人又开了一枪。狼忍着巨痛扑向猎人，没想到猎人抽出猎刀左右开弓地在狼身上划了几道口子。狼鲜血四溅，嚎叫着逃到狐狸那里去了。

“狼兄弟，”狐狸说，“和人相处怎么样？”“哈！”狼回答说，“我从没想到人的力量会这么大！他先是从肩上取下一根棍子，朝里面吹了一口气，就有甚么东西飞到我脸上，痒得我要命；接着他又吹了一次，就有东西飞到我鼻子周围，像下了一阵雹子。当我靠近他时，他从身上抽出一根白得发亮的肋骨狠狠地打我，几乎把我打死在那里。”

狐狸说：“你这个吹牛大王，谁让你把话说得太大了，自己连退路都没有了呢。”

小鼹鼠和妈妈The Mole and His Mother

A MOLE, a creature blind from birth, once said to his Mother: "I am sure than I can see, Mother!" In the desire to prove to him his mistake, his Mother placed before him a few grains of frankincense, and asked, "What is it?' The young Mole said, "It is a pebble." His Mother exclaimed: "My son, I am afraid that you are not only blind, but that you have lost your sense of smell.

传说鼹鼠的眼睛是瞎的，可小鼹鼠却对妈妈说他能看得见。妈想试验他一下，便拿来一 小块香喷喷的食物，放在他面前，并问他是什么。他说是一颗小石头。母亲说：“啊，不幸 的孩子，你不但眼睛看不见，连鼻子也没用了。” 这故事是说，那些爱吹牛说大话的人，常常夸海口能做大事，却在一些微不足道的事情 上暴露了本质。

有二个和尚住在隔壁?所谓隔壁是：隔壁那座山

他们分别在相邻的二座山上的庙里

这二座山之间有一条溪

於是这二个和尚，每天都会在同一时间下山去溪边挑水

久而久之，他们便成为妤朋友了

就这样，时间在每天挑水中，不知不觉己经过了五年

突然有一天，左边这座山的和尚没有下山挑水

右边那座山的和尚心想:「他大概睡过头了。」便不以为意

哪知第二天，左边这座山的和尚，还是没有下山挑水

第三天也一样

过了一个星期，还是一样

都会抽空挖这囗井。即使有时很忙，能挖多少就算多少。

如今，终於让我挖出井水，我就不必再下山挑水，

我可以有更多时间，练我喜欢的太极拳。」

Stars on a Snowy Night 雨雪时候的心情

The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.

It had been snowing all night, not a single star in sight. My roommate and I, each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.

She exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus in rising!” I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, “It’s Jupiter over there!” More and more lights came into sight as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a

star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.

Completely lost in a make-believe world, I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when I woke up from my dreams in the dead of night. Thus I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night !

雨雪时候的心情

寒暑表降到冰点下十八度的时候，我们也是在廊下睡觉。每夜最熟识的就是天上的星辰了。也不过是点点闪烁的光明，而相看惯了，偶然不见，也有些想望与无聊。

连夜雨雪，一点星光都看不见。荷和我拥衾对坐，在廊子的两角，遥遥谈话。

荷指着说：“你看维纳斯（Venus）升起来了！”我抬头望时，却是山路转折处的路灯。我怡然一笑，也指着对山的一星灯火说：“那边是丘比特（Jupiter）呢！”

愈指愈多。松林中射来零乱的风灯，都成了满天星宿。真的，雪花隙里，看不出来天空和森林的界限，将繁灯当作繁星，简直是抵得过。

一念至诚的将假作真，灯光似乎都从地上飘起。这幻成的星光，都不移动，不必半夜梦醒时，再去追寻他们的位置。

于是雨雪寂寞之夜，也有了慰安了!

注释：

1.题目《雨雪时候的星辰》翻译为Stars on a Snowy Night。“雨雪”作“下雪”解，“雨”在此是动词，读音为yù。

2.“无聊” 翻译为ennui,是英语常用文学语言，意即a feeling of boredom caused by a lack of excitement or activity。

3.“一点星光都看不见” 译为not a single star in sight,是句中独立主格， 和not a single star being in sight同。又译文用s押头韵，night和sight压韵脚，有音韵美。

4.“荷和我„„” 译为My roommate and I„，其中用My roommate（同寝之友）代替专门名词He（荷），以免外国读者把He读解为男性第三人称的代词。

5.“荷指着说„„” 译为She said pointing her finger at „，因英语to point one’s finger at有“指责”的含义。

6.“我抬头望时” 不宜逐字死译为I raised my head to take a look 。译为I liked up即可。

7.“山路转折处” 译为round the bend in a mountain path。注意bend后面跟介词in，属习惯用法。

“将繁灯当作繁星，简直是抵得过” 译为the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars，其中短语to pass for 的意思是“被看作”，“被当作”等。

森林之火 Wood Fire

One woman lectured her best friend on the nature of the male animal. "Husbands are like wood fires; they go out if left unattened."

"Does that mean," asked the other, "that they make ashes of themselves?" 森林之火

一名妇女向她最好的朋友大谈雄性动物的特性：“丈夫们就像是森林里的火，一不注意，他们就会燃烧起来。”

“那是不是意味着，”另一个问道，“他们将自己烧成灰烬？”

滑雪Skiing

SUE: I'm kind of nervous about this.

JOHN: Why?

SUE: What if I go off a cliff?

JOHN: Don't worry about that. It's impossible.

All the ski runs are carefully marked.

And if there is something that might be dangerous, like a cliff or something, then they often put a fence around it.

SUE: I think I'm going to break my leg.

JOHN: No, you're not. First I'll ski with you for a half-hour or so.

We'll go on the bunny hill. Then you have your lesson at 10:45.

SUE: What is the "bunny hill"?

JOHN: The bunny hill is the easiest run on the mountain. It isn't steep at all. It is for first-time skiers. Don't worry about this. It will be fun!

SUE: So they have runs for different kinds of skiers?

They have runs for advanced skiers and runs for beginners?

JOHN: Absolutely.

Look at this map. You can see all the runs on the mountain on this map. The advanced runs are marked with black diamonds

and the beginner runs have green circles.

Look. The intermediate runs have blue squares.

SUE: So why don't I get a map like that?

JOHN: I'll get you one.

But you don't need it right now. Because you will be staying on the bunny hill. Probably until lunch at least.

SUE: And you, won't you be bored on the bunny hill?

JOHN: Yes, I will. But I will stay with you until your lesson begins.

Then I'll go take a couple more advanced runs. Then we'll meet for lunch. SUE: I should have invited some friends to come with me.

JOHN: Why?

SUE: I think I'm going to be lonely on this trip.

You will always want to go to the advanced runs.

JOHN: No. That's not true. I will have a good time skiing with you.

I think it's good if we spend a lot of time on the mountain together.

I came on this trip with you. But I also think you will get tired quickly, because you aren't experienced as a skier.

So you will probably spend some time shopping in the town, or hanging out in the lodge.

SUE: And then you can get rid of me.

JOHN: Don't be so sour! I have no reason to get rid of you.

I will ski on the beginner runs with you,

and then sometimes I will go ski on the advanced runs.

We will have a good time here. You will see.

SUE: Well. Alright.

苏：我有点紧张耶。

约翰：为什么？

苏：如果我掉下悬崖怎么办？

约翰：不要担心那个，那是不可能的。

所有的滑雪道都有清楚地标示出来。

而且如果有什么危险的，像是悬崖或什么的，

他们通常会在附近围上栅栏的。

苏：我想我会摔断腿的。

约翰：不，你不会的。一开始我会和你一起滑半个小时左右，

我们会沿着初学者滑雪道，然后你十点四十五分去上课。

苏：什么是初学者滑雪道？

约翰：初学者滑雪道是山里最容易的滑雪道，一点也不陡，

是给初学滑雪者用的。不要担心，会很好玩的。

苏：那是说他们有滑雪道给不同的滑雪者啊？

滑雪道有分高阶者和初学者吗？

约翰：当然有了。

看这张地图，你可以在这张地图看到山上所有的滑雪道。

高阶者的滑雪道是用黑色方块标示

而初学者的滑雪道是用绿色圆圈。

看，中级者的滑雪道是蓝色方形。

苏：为何我没有拿到像那样的地图？

约翰：我会帮你拿一张。

但你现在不需要，因为你会一直待在初学者滑雪道，

至少可能要到午餐时间喔！

苏：那你呢，你在初学者滑雪道不会觉得无聊吗？

约翰：会啊，但是我要陪着你直到你的课开始。

然后，我再去滑几下高阶的滑雪道，我们午餐时间再碰面。

苏：我应该邀请一些朋友和我一起来的。

约翰：为什么？

苏：我想这趟旅行我会很孤单，

你会一直想要去高阶者滑雪道。

约翰：不会，不是这样，我会和你有一段愉快的滑雪时光。

我想如果我们能一起在山上度过一段时间是很不错的。

我是和你一起来旅行的，但是我想你很快就会疲惫不堪，

因为你并不是很有经验的滑雪者。

所以，你可能会花更多的时间在城里逛街购物或在小屋里徘徊吧。

苏：然后你就可以摆脱我了。

约翰：不要这么闹脾气！我没有理由摆脱你。

我会和你一起滑初学者滑雪道，

然后有时滑一下高阶者滑雪道。

我们在这会很愉快的，等着看吧。

苏：好吧。{中英故事}.

A Soldier's Brilliant Idea

Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already had been taken except for one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one, and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.

When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you." Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.

Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, but they too read the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl hurried into the plane. The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeededin having the company of the girl during the whole trip.{中英故事}.

又有两三个乘客试图坐在那个士兵旁的靠窗座位上，他们看到那则启事就走开了。当快满座时，一位非常美丽的姑娘匆匆走进机舱。一直在注意进舱旅客的那个士兵赶紧拿掉他旁边空座位上的启事。士兵用这种办法，成功地找到了一位姑娘一路作伴。

4、史上五大最失败的愚人节玩笑

1.Imagine reading that your husband or brother who has been held in a prison for years is finally going to be released. You make the long journey to the prison and stand outside the prison gates, waiting desperately for the moment you'll be reunited with your loved one, only to hear... ' April Fools! No one's being released!' This experience happened to sixty people in April 2000 who read in the Opinia newspaper that their loved ones were going to be released from the Baia Mare prison in Romania. They made the long journey to the prison, only to learn that the paper had played an April Fool's joke on them. The Opinia later published an apology.

想象你的亲人正在监狱服刑，而一天你突然从报纸上看到他们要被提前释放的消息。你满怀欢喜地去迎接他们，最后在监狱门口被告知，这只是个愚人节玩笑，你会怎么想？2000年罗马尼亚的一家监狱愚弄了60个人，结果不得不公开道歉。
