4.英語(yǔ)小故事帶翻譯10篇50字

英語(yǔ)小故事—The Real Princess 小學(xué)403字 There was once a prince who wished to marry a princess; but then she must be a real princess. He travelled all over the world in hopes of finding such a lady; but there was always something wrong. Princesses he found in plenty; but whether they were real princesses it was impossible for him to decide, for now one thing, now another, seemed to him not quite right about the ladies. At last he returned to his palace quite cast down, because he wished so much to have a real Princess for his wife.從前有一位王子，他想找一位公主結婚，但她必須是一位真正的公主。

他走遍了全世界，想要尋到這樣的一位公主。可是無(wú)論他到什么地方，他總是碰到一些障礙。

公主倒有的是，不過(guò)他沒(méi)有辦法斷定她們究竟是不是真正的公主，她們好象總是有些地方不大對頭。結果，他只好回到自己的皇宮來(lái)，心中很不快活，因為他是那么渴望著(zhù)得到一位真正的公主。

One evening a fearful tempest arose, it thundered and lightened, and the rain poured down from the sky in torrents: besides, it was as dark as pitch. All at once there was heard a violent knocking at the door, and the old King, the Prince's father, went out himself to open it.It was a princess who was standing outside the door. What with the rain and the wind, she was in a sad condition; the water trickled down from her hair, and her clothes clung to her body. She said she was a real princess.有一天晚上，忽然起了一陣可怕的暴風(fēng)雨。天空中風(fēng)馳電掣，大雨傾盆而降，四周一片漆黑。

就在這時(shí)，響起了一陣劇烈的敲門(mén)聲，老國王自己去開(kāi)門(mén)。站在城外的是一位公主。

可是，天哪！經(jīng)過(guò)了風(fēng)吹雨打之后，她的樣子是多么難看啊！水沿著(zhù)她的頭發(fā)和向下面流，她的衣服粘在身上。她說(shuō)她是真正的公主。

Ah! we shall soon see that! thought the old Queen-mother; however, she said not a word of what she was going to do; but went quietly into the bedroom, took all the bed-clothes off the bed, and put a little pea on the bedstead. She then laid twenty mattresses one upon another over the pea, and put twenty feather beds over the mattresses.Upon this bed the Princess was to pass the night.是的，這點(diǎn)我們馬上就可以考查出來(lái)。 老皇后心里想，可是她什么也沒(méi)說(shuō)。

她靜靜地走進(jìn)臥房，把所有的被褥都搬開(kāi)，在床榻上放了一粒豌豆。然后她取出二十床墊子，把它們壓在豌豆上。

隨后，她又在這些墊子上放了二十床鴨絨被。這位公主夜里就睡在這些東西上面。

The next morning she was asked how she had slept. Oh, very badly indeed! she replied. I have scarcely closed my eyes the whole night through. I do not know what was in my bed, but I had something hard under me, and am all over black and blue. It has hurt me so much!Now it was plain that the lady must be a real Princess, since she had been able to feel the little pea through the twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. None but a real Princess could have had such a delicate sense of feeling.So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.豌豆公主 第二天早晨大家問(wèn)她昨晚睡得怎樣。 啊，不舒服極了！ 公主說(shuō)， 我差不多整夜沒(méi)合上眼！天曉得我床上有件什么東西？我睡到一塊很硬的東西上面，弄得我全身發(fā)青發(fā)紫，這真怕人！現在大家就看出來(lái)了。

她是一位真正的公主，因為壓在這二十床墊子和二十床鴨絨被下面的一粒豌豆，她居然還能感覺(jué)得出來(lái)。除了真正的公主以外，任何人都不會(huì )有這么嫩的皮膚的。

因此那位王子就選她為妻子了，因為現在他知道他得到了一位真正的公主。這粒豌豆因此也就被送進(jìn)了博物館，如果沒(méi)有人把它拿走的話(huà)，人們現在還可以在那兒看到它呢。

講的是狡猾的猴子哄騙頭腦簡(jiǎn)單的貓兒，替它從爐火中取出烤熟的栗子來(lái)。貓兒應命去做，結果貓爪子被火燒傷了，而取出的栗子卻被猴子吃光了。

追根嗍源，遠在公元前3世紀的《伊索寓言》中就有這個(gè)故事，不過(guò)沒(méi)有題目。cat\'s paw常用來(lái)比喻a person used as a tool by another;one who is used merely for the convenience of a cleverer or stronger person之意。

按其內涵，這個(gè)成語(yǔ)與漢語(yǔ)成語(yǔ)“為虎作倀”所比喻的意義相似，僅是動(dòng)物的形象不同cat\'s paw除了單獨做復合名詞使用外，還構成to make a cat\'s paw of sb（利用某人做為工具或爪牙）eg:It is easy for him to be used as a cat\'s paw of evil-doing.I am afraid that he is making a cat\'s paw of you。.。

6.用英語(yǔ)翻譯典故：烏鴉反哺

網(wǎng)上找來(lái)的，供參考：羊跪乳鴉反哺與感恩盡孝之說(shuō)相傳，小羊對它媽媽說(shuō)：“媽媽?zhuān)鷮ξ疫@樣疼愛(ài)，我怎樣才能報答您的養育之恩呢？”羊媽媽說(shuō)：“我為什么要你報答？只要你有這片孝心，媽媽就心滿(mǎn)意足了”。

小羊聽(tīng)后，情不自禁地流下眼淚……，小羊為了報達母羊的養育之恩，每次吃奶都是跪著(zhù)的。它知道，是媽媽用奶水喂大它的，跪著(zhù)吃奶是感激媽媽的哺乳之恩，這便是“羔羊跪乳”。

據說(shuō)，烏鴉小時(shí)侯，都是由它媽媽辛辛苦苦地飛出去找食物，然后回來(lái)一口一口地喂給它吃。漸漸地，小烏鴉長(cháng)大了，烏鴉媽媽也老了，飛不動(dòng)了，不能再飛出去找食物了。

這時(shí)，長(cháng)大的烏鴉沒(méi)有忘記媽媽的哺育之恩，也學(xué)著(zhù)媽媽的樣兒，每天飛出去找食物，再回來(lái)喂媽媽?zhuān)疹櫪蠟貘f，并且從不感到厭煩，直至老烏鴉自然死亡，這就是“烏鴉反哺”。據記載，“反哺”是烏鴉的習性。

烏鴉的雛鳥(niǎo)長(cháng)大，必銜食飼其母。《本草綱目》中稱(chēng)烏鴉為慈鳥(niǎo)：“此鳥(niǎo)出生，母哺60日，長(cháng)者反哺60日，可謂慈孝矣。”

后來(lái)人們便將反哺比做子女孝敬父母。束皙在《補亡詩(shī)》中說(shuō)：“嗷嗷林?zhù)B，受哺于子”。

蘇轍的詩(shī)中也提到：“馬馳未覺(jué)西南遠，鳥(niǎo)哺何辭日夜飛”。都說(shuō)的是烏鴉由母鳥(niǎo)養大，在母鳥(niǎo)衰老不能覓食時(shí)，小烏鴉便銜食喂母鳥(niǎo)，以為回報。

由此“烏鴉反哺”與“羊羔跪乳”便成了比喻子女對父母感恩盡孝的成語(yǔ)。Yang Gui the young crow returns nurturing to parents the implication to feel grateful is filial to the utmost sayingHands down, the lamb said to its mother: “Mother, you dotes on like this to me, how can I repay you to raise graciousness?”Aunt Yang said that,“My any does not want you to repay, so long as you have this piece of filial piety, mother was well satisfied.After the lamb listens, flows the tear unrestrainedly 。

The lamb reaches the ewe for the newspaper to raise graciousness, each time nurses all is kneeling.It knew that, is mother feeds greatly it with the breast milk, kneels is nursing is feels grateful the mother's graciousness of nursing, this then is “the lamb kneels the breast”.It is said, crow small time, all is flies laboriously by its mother looks for food, then comes back place to feed to it eats.The small crow has grown up gradually, crow mother has been also old, flew has been motionless, could not again fly looks for food.By now, the coarsening crow has not forgotten the mother's graciousness of nurture, also is studying mother's type son, every day flies looks for food, again comes back to feed mother, looks after the old crow, and ever does not feel was sick of, until the old crow natural death, this was “the crow returns nurturing to parents”.According to the record, “returns nurturing to parents” is crow's habit.Crow's fledgling coarsening, must hold the food to raise its mother."Native Chinese Plants" called the crow is the kind bird: “This bird birth, the mother nurses on 60th, the elder returns nurturing to parents on 60th, it may be said the kind filial piety.” Afterwards the people then will return nurturing to parents the ratio to be the children to be filial piety the parents.Ties the clear in "To make up Perishes Poem" to say that,“Clamors the forest bird, is nursed in”.In Su Zhe the poem also mentioned that,“Ma Chi not sense southwest far, the bird nurses what refined language to fly day and night”.All said is the crow raises by the female bird, senile cannot look for food when the female bird, the small crow then holds the food to feed the female bird, thinks the repayment.From this “the crow returned nurturing to parents” and “the lamb kneels the breast” then to become the analogy children the idiom which felt grateful to the parents is filial to the utmost.。

7.希臘神話(huà)中的典故中英文

1、Pandora's box（潘朵拉的盒子） ：普羅米修斯（Prometheus）為人類(lèi)盜來(lái)了天火，激怒了宙斯（Zeus）。

Zeus決定懲罰人類(lèi)，于是他命令火神造出一個(gè)美貌的女人 Pandora，讓她去勾引Prometheus的弟弟埃比米修斯（Epimetheus）。結果Epimetheus上當，接近了 Pandora,Pandora于是就將手中的盒子打開(kāi)，放出了里面的罪惡、災難、疾病、不幸，只留下了“希望”在盒子里。

于是Pandora's box就成了“災難的根源”的代名詞。2、the sword of Damocles（達摩克利斯之劍）：Damocles是敘拉古王朝的一位大臣，非常羨慕帝王的榮華富貴。

一天，國王讓他坐在王位上，在 Damocles的頭上用一根頭發(fā)懸一把利劍，告訴他王權的危險就象那把劍一樣，隨時(shí)可能降臨。因此the sword of Damocles就成了“富貴中隱藏的危險”的同義語(yǔ)，也可以指形勢危急，千鈞一發(fā)。

3、Damon and Pythias :Damon和Pythias是好朋友。Pythias出事被判了死刑，為了使他能夠回家探視親人，Damo留在牢中作人質(zhì)，如果Pythias不按時(shí)返 回，就處死Damon。

當期限滿(mǎn)，臨處刑之際，Pythias及時(shí)趕回。國王深受感動(dòng)，將二人全部釋放，因此，Damon and Pythias意思就是“生死之交”。

4、Penelop's web：源自史詩(shī)《奧德賽》（Odyssey）。泊涅羅珀（Penelop）是奧底修斯（Odysseus）的妻子，以忠貞而著(zhù)稱(chēng)。

特洛伊戰爭持續 了十年，Odysseus在返家的途中又耽擱了十年。在這漫長(cháng)的二十年中，許多王公貴族向Penelop求婚，她都托辭說(shuō)必須等織完布后才能予以考慮，一 到晚上，她又將白天織好的布再拆開(kāi)。

因此Penelop's web就成了一項永遠也完不成的工作。5、apple of discord：意思是“不和的根源、發(fā)生糾紛的事端”。

佩琉斯和忒提斯舉行婚禮時(shí)忘記了邀請不和女神厄里斯（Eris）。這位女神大為惱火，留下 一個(gè)刻有“獻給最美者”的金蘋(píng)果，引起了雅典娜、赫拉和阿芙羅狄忒的紛爭。

此事導致漫長(cháng)的特洛伊戰爭（Trojan War）。擴展資料：希臘神話(huà)文獻記載最早的幾部參考文獻當推荷馬的兩部史詩(shī)：《伊利亞特》和《奧德賽》。

除此之外的這方面的史詩(shī)都被歸結到了《史詩(shī)集成》，但這些作品到現今基本已經(jīng)全部不可靠了。盡管這部合集原來(lái)的名字稱(chēng)為“荷馬贊歌”，但其實(shí)際上和荷馬沒(méi)有任何關(guān)系，它們實(shí)際上是從被稱(chēng)為抒情詩(shī)時(shí)期早期流傳下來(lái)的贊美詩(shī)。

荷馬基本同期的詩(shī)人赫西俄德在其作品《神譜》中全面的記錄了關(guān)于世界的形成，眾神，提坦和巨人的起源的早期希臘神話(huà)以及詳細的族譜。赫西俄德的《工作與時(shí)日》系統地記錄了當時(shí)農耕生產(chǎn)的知識，表現了平靜而優(yōu)美的農村生活場(chǎng)景。

其中包括了對普羅米修斯， 潘多拉以及五個(gè)時(shí)代的描寫(xiě)。這些詩(shī)篇給予了在那個(gè)危險的時(shí)期最好生活方式的建議和全貌。
