1、英語(yǔ)寓言故事欣賞鄉(xiāng)村真美。此時(shí)正值夏季，田里的小麥都呈現(xiàn)金黃色而燕麥依然青綠。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上，廣闊的樹林圍繞著田野和草地，樹林的中央有多處深邃的湖泊，在陽(yáng)光最充足的地方矗立著一棟老舊的大宅邸。這棟宅邸被一條深長(zhǎng)的壕溝所包圍，茂盛的葉子從這棟房子干部上的藤蔓往下長(zhǎng)，延伸到河水的邊緣。其中有一些葉子很大，小孩子可以拿它們來當(dāng)雨傘。在森林的深處有一只母鴨子坐在她的巢中，她的小鴨子們即將孵出來。終于蛋一個(gè)接一個(gè)地開始裂了。 “吱，吱！”小鴨們叫著?！斑?，呱！”母鴨回道?！斑@個(gè)世界好大??！”小鴨子異口同聲道。The countryside was lovely. It was summer.

2、The wheat was golden and the oats were stillgreen. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows.There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods.

How big the world is! said all the young ones.但最大的蛋依舊在那兒，于是她又再坐回她的巢中。一只年長(zhǎng)的鴨子過來拜訪她說：“喂！你近來可好嗎？”坐著的母鴨回答說：“這枚蛋花了很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，殼偏偏還不裂開，不過其他的小鴨都是最完美的鴨子，他們很像他們的爸爸?！蹦觊L(zhǎng)的鴨子說：“讓我看看那枚不會(huì)裂開的蛋，你或許是坐在一枚火雞的蛋上！我曾經(jīng)像那樣被騙過一次。不錯(cuò)，那是火雞的蛋！你最好不要管它，去教其它的小鴨游泳吧?！薄拔乙俣嘧粫?huì)兒。”But the biggest egg

5、was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.Well, how are you getting on? said an old duck who came to pay her a visit.

She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.The big ugly one swam about with them. No, that is no turkey, she said, Quack, quack! Now come with meand

9、I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!The first day passed, and everything was fine.之后，事情愈來愈糟。這只可憐的小鴨被所有的小鴨追逐和騷擾，因?yàn)樗L(zhǎng)得很丑。大鴨們咬他，母雞們啄他，而喂食他們的女孩把他踢到旁邊去。于是他離家出走，不久就來到一片野鴨住的廣闊沼澤。他雙疲倦又痛苦，因此他整晚都在那里。早上這群野鴨們飛來看他們的新朋友。這些野鴨說：“你長(zhǎng)得非常丑，但那對(duì)我們來說無所謂?！彼谀抢镎藘商?，然后有兩只野雁飛

10、過來。就在那個(gè)時(shí)候，他聽到“砰！砰！”的聲音，那兩只野雁摔落在蘆葦叢中死了。對(duì)這只可憐的小鴨子來說，那是一項(xiàng)很可怕的沖擊。Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon

11、came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend.

12、 geese came.Just at that moment the sound of Bang! Bang! was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.一只巨大的狗出現(xiàn)在他的身邊，離他很近。這只狗露出銳利的牙齒，繼續(xù)往前走，沒有碰他。這只小鴨嘆息說：“哦，謝謝老天爺！我是這么丑，因此連狗都不會(huì)咬我！”晚上他來到一間小屋。這間小屋住著一位老婆婆和她的貓及母雞。她的視力不好，以為這只小鴨是一只肥鴨。她說：“要是我有了鴨蛋，我就

13、發(fā)財(cái)了，”因此她留這只小鴨住了3個(gè)星期，但他并沒有下蛋。這只貓是這間房子的主人，而這只母雞是女主人。A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog wont bite me!sighed the duckling.In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with

14、 her cat and her hen.Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck.I will be rich if I have duck eggs, she said.So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no cat was the master of the houseand the hen was the mistress.母雞說：“你能不能下蛋呢？”小鴨回答說：“不能?！边@只貓說：“那么你最好離開到外面廣闊

15、的世界去?！本瓦@樣這只小鴨離開了。有一天晚上，太陽(yáng)剛剛下山，此時(shí)有一群漂亮的大鳥從矮樹叢飛出來。小鴨心想：“我從來沒有看過這么漂亮的東西。”Can you lay eggs? asked the hen.No, answered the duckling.Then you had better go out into the wide world, said the cat. So away went the duckling.One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared

16、out of the bushes.The duckling thought, Ive never seen anything so beautiful.他們有長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的脖子，全身是令人眩目的白色。他們是天鵝，他并不知道這些鳥是什么鳥。冬天非常地寒冷刺骨，因此這只小鴨在水中游來游去以免凍僵了。太陽(yáng)又開始溫暖地照耀著，云雀在歌唱，美麗的春天已經(jīng)來臨了。突然這只小鴨舉起他的翅膀， 而翅膀拍動(dòng)的力氣要比以前大，不知不覺中，他發(fā)覺自己已置身在一座巨大的花園里，花園里的蘋果樹開滿了花，紫丁香長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的枝椏垂掛在湖岸邊。就在他的面前，他看到三只美麗的白天鵝向他游過來。They were dazzlingly wh

They were swans.He did not know what the birds were.The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.The sun began to shine warmly again.

I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the duck

20、s or pecked by the hens.So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.Kill me! Oh, kill me! said the poor duckling,and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird.

21、他不再是只黑灰丑陋的鳥，他竟然是一只天鵝！有些小孩手拿玉米和面包來到這個(gè)花園，將這些東西投入水中。個(gè)子最小的那個(gè)孩子興高采烈地大叫：“有一只新來的天鵝。”其他的孩子大叫：“對(duì)??！來了一只新的?！彼麑?duì)著自己說：“當(dāng)我是那只丑小鴨的時(shí)候，我從來也沒夢(mèng)想過我能夠這么快樂！”He was himself a swan!Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.The smallest child shouted with joy, There is
