英文寓言故事1

A great mountain大山

Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake.

People came from far and near to see what would happen.

"A great river will be born." said one.

"Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will come out." said another.

"A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third.

Finally, after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped --- a mouse.

Just because someone makes a lot of fuss, it doesn't mean he is important.

很久以前,壹座大山隆隆作響,搖晃起來。遠近各處的人都來看是怎麽回事。

壹個人說:"要出現壹條大河了。"

另壹個人說:"準會出現壹條巨龍。"

第三個人說:"從這些巖石中會出現壹尊神來。"

等了幾天之後,山坡上終於裂開壹條小縫,卻蹦出來壹只耗子。

正因為某人大肆張揚,所以他沒有什麽了不起。

百喻經之八山羌偷官庫衣喻

A RUSTIC STEALS CLOTHES FROM THE PALACE TREASURY

過去之世,有壹山羌,偷王庫物而遠逃走。爾時國王遣人四出推尋,捕得將至王邊,王即責其所得衣處。山羌答言:“我衣乃是祖父之物。” 王遣著衣,實非山羌本所有故,不知著之,應在手者,著於腳上,應在腰者,返著頭上。

Once upon a time there was a rustic who stole garments from the palace and then escaped to a remote place. The king sent men to search for him in all directions. Finally, he was arrested and taken to the king who accused him of theft and asked him where he had got the clothes. The rustic answered that they belonged to his grandfather. The king then ordered him to put them on. He did not know how to wear them. He put on his arms what should be worn on his legs. What he ought to have on his waist, he put on his head.

王見賊已,集諸臣等,***詳此事,而語之言:“若是汝之祖父已來所有衣者,應當解著,雲何顛倒,用上為下?以不解故,定知汝衣必是偷得,非汝舊物。”

Seeing this, the king summoned his ministers for consultation on the matter. "If the clothes belonged to your grandfather, you should know how to wear them. How can you wear them in all wrong ways? It's certain that they are not your old clothes. You have stolen them," said the king.

借以為譬:王者如佛,寶藏如法,愚癡羌者,猶如外道。

Figuratively speaking, here the king is like Buddha; the valuable clothes, the Buddhist teachings; the stupid rustic, the heretic.

竊聽佛法,著己法中,以為自有。然不解故,布置佛法,迷亂上下,不知法相。

A heretic, who has eavesdropped on Buddhism, makes it for his own. He then misinterprets it, because he does not know the real meaning of its teachings.

如彼山羌,得王寶衣,不識次第,顛倒而著,亦復如是。

This heretic is like the rustic who stole the king's valuable clothes without knowing how to wear them properly and put them on in all the wrong ways.

白話:

很久以前,有壹位居住在山林的人,偷了國王倉庫的東西後逃到了遠方。國王知道後,立即派人四處打探尋找,捕獲了山民,把他帶到國王面前。國王馬上追問山民衣物的來源。山民回答:“這衣服是我祖父留給我的。”國王讓他把衣服穿好。由於衣服確實不是他的,所以不知道怎樣穿。應該穿戴在手上的,卻套在了腳上,應當紮在腰上的,卻圍在了頭上。國王見了,確定是賊無疑,召集大臣討論這件事,並說:“如果是妳祖父留給妳的衣物,妳應熟悉這些衣物的穿法,為什麽上下顛倒,戴在手上的卻穿在腳下?所以不會穿,在於妳的衣服肯定是偷來的,而不是妳原有的衣物。”

借這個故事作比喻:國王好比佛陀,國庫的財產好比自然與認識的規律。愚蠢無知的山民,像其他各種思想派別,聽到壹些佛教的教義,就認為已經掌握了認識自然與現象的規律,自以為是,但並不能理解它的實質,就妄加斷言,思維邏輯顛倒,不認識壹切事物的真實形態、本性,以及真理的本質意義。這好像山民,得到國王的衣物,不懂怎麽使用,上下顛倒地穿戴的道理壹樣。

英文寓言故事3

The swallows and sparrows are very pleased to find a place on the roof of the hall for their nests.

The mother birds are feeding their babies with pleasure, which assumes a scene of peace and harmony.

But they have never thought of the following scene: the chimney at the top of the kitchen might break, the fire might leap up to the roof and the burning purling might destroy their nests.

But those swallows and sparrows are unmindful of the coming disaster.

They go on with their superficial happiness brought by peace and calm.

燕雀處室

燕雀為擁有屋頂下面的壹個位置而欣慰不已。

母鳥用叼來的食物餵養啁啾鳴叫的幼鳥,整個兒是壹派歡樂自得的祥和景象。

它們完全沒有考慮到:爐竈上的煙囪有可能會炸裂,火苗將會竄上屋梁,燒著的椽將會摧毀它們的巢穴。

不知大禍將要降臨到自己頭上的燕雀們正在安然自若地品味這表面上的安寧所帶來的幸福。

英文寓言故事4

A wild ass1 saw a pack-ass jogging along under a heavy load, and taunted2 him with the condition of slavery in which he lived, in these words: "What a vile3 lot is yours compared with mine! I am free as the air, and never do a stoke of work; and, as for fodder4, I have only to go to the hills and there I find far more than enough for my needs. But you! You depend on your master for food, and he makes you carry heavy loads every day and beats you unmercifully." At that moment a lion appeared on the scene, and made no attempt to molest5 the pack-ass owing to the presence of the driver, but he fell upon the wild ass, who had no one to protect him, and without more ado made a meal of him.

It is no use being your own master unless you can stand up for yourself.

壹頭野驢看到壹頭家驢背負這沈重的貨物壹路小跑,便譏諷他過著奴隸般的生活:“和我相比,妳過得多麽卑微呀!我自由自在地享受著大自然,從不下苦力,說道食物,我只需要跑到山上去,就能發現大量吃的東西。再看看妳!只能依靠主人施舍吃點,他不僅每天都讓妳馱重物,還無情地鞭打妳。”這時,壹只獅子出現在他們的視野中,由於驢夫的出現,獅子沒有騷擾家驢,直接撲向了沒有保護者的野驢,立即吃掉了野驢。

除非能照顧好自己,否則做自己的主人壹點用也沒有。

英文寓言故事5

Covering one’s Ears While Stealing a Bell

Mr. Wang thinks he is clever, but he always does foolish things.

One day he sees a beautiful bell at the top of a door. “Oh! How nice! I will take it home.” He thinks, “What can I do?” After a while he has a “good” idea. “Aha! I have an idea now. I can plug my ears. Then I will not hear the ring when I take off the bell.”

Then he does so. But as soon as he takes off the bell, the owner opens the door. “What are you doing?” the owner says angrily.

掩耳盜鈴

王先生總以為自己很聰明,實際上他總幹傻事。

壹天,他看見壹戶人家的門頭有個很漂亮的鈴鐺。“啊,真漂亮啊!我要把它拿回家去。”他自言自語道:“我該怎麽做呢?”過了壹會兒他想到了壹個“好”主意。“啊哈!我有辦法了!我把耳朵堵上,拿鈴鐺的時候就聽不見鈴聲了。”

於是他就這樣做了。可是他剛拿下鈴鐺,屋子的主人就打開門,怒氣沖沖地說:“妳在幹什麽?”
