篇一：小故事大道理(中英文)
一，
What time is it?
Tom and Jack come out of the cinema.It is very late. "I can't find my watch.Where is it?"Tom says.
"Is it in your bag?"Jack asks.
"Oh,yes.Here it is."
"What time is it?"
"My watch doesn't work.Let's sing,and then we can know the time."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
The two boys begin to sing.A short time later ,a man in the building opens the window and shouts,"Keep it down!Don't you know it's three o'clock in the morning?"
现在几点了？
Tom和Jack从电影院出来，已经非常晚了。
“我找不到我的手表了，它在哪？”Tom说。
“它在你的背包里吗？”Jack问。
“哦，是的。它在这儿。”
“现在几点了？”
“我的手表坏了。让我们一起唱歌，然后我们就可以知道时间了。” “为什么？”
“你照着做就可以了。”
两个男孩就开始唱歌了。过了一会，楼上的一个男人打开窗子并且喊道：“安 静点！难道你们不知道现在已经是早上三点多了吗？”
二，
狗和影子
(The Dog and the Shadow)It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.
一只狗嘴里衔着一块肉，走过一条河上面的桥，看见他自己在水里的影子，以
为是另一只狗，那时狗衔着的肉，比他自己的还要大一倍。因此他仍掉自己的
那一块，狠狠地扑向那只狗，想夺到那一块较大的肉。结果两头都落了空，因
为他想要抓取在水中的那一块，只不过是一个影子，而原来的那一块，也被水
冲走了。 Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. 谨
记，切莫因追逐幻影而丢失已有的东西
三，
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，一座大山隆隆作响，摇晃起来。远近各处的人都来看是怎么回事。
一个人说："要出现一条大河了。" 另一个人说："准会出现一条巨龙。" 第三个人说："从这些岩石中会出现一尊神来。" 等了几天之后，山坡上终于裂开一
条小缝，却蹦出来一只耗子。 正因为某人大肆张扬，所以他没有什么了不起。
四，
A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him. One day he decided to show them what he meant. He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them. "Can you break that ? " he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood. The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it . Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks." Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands."Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. "United we stand ; divided we fall.
一捆树枝 从前有一个人，他有四个儿子。儿子们不断地争吵。他一再告诫他们
说，如果他们一起干活儿，生活会舒适得多，但他们丝毫不理会他的意见。有
一天，他决定通过示范把自己的意思告诉他们。 他把四个儿子都叫来，又把一
捆扎得很紧的细树枝放在他们面前的地上。 "你能折断这个吗？"他问最小的儿
子。小伙子用膝盖顶住，两只手又压又拉，都不能把那捆树枝弄弯。父亲让别
的儿子挨个儿试试，看他们是否能把那捆树枝折断，但谁也做不到。 然后，他
解开绳子，把树枝撒开。 "试试吧。"他说。四个小伙子用手轻轻一撅，树枝就
断了。 "你们明白我的意思了吗？"父亲问，"只要你们联合起来，谁也不能伤
害你们。如果你们老吵架，一定要各行其是，那么你们一遇到敌人，就会被打
败。" 合则存，分则败。

从前有一个牧民，养了几十只羊，白天放牧，晚上赶进一个用柴草和木桩等物
围起来的羊圈内。 一天早晨，这个牧民去放羊，发现羊少了一只。原来羊
圈破了个窟窿，夜间有狼从窟窿里钻了进来，把一只羊叼走了。 邻居劝告
他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上那个窟窿吧。”他说：“羊已经丢了，还
去修羊圈干什么呢？”没有接受邻居的好心劝告。第二天早上，他去放羊，
发现又少了一只羊。原来狼又从窟窿里钻进羊圈，又叼走了一只羊。 这位
牧民很后悔没有认直接受邻居的劝告，去及时采取补救措施。于是，他赶紧堵
上那个窟窿，又从整体进行加固，把羊圈修得牢牢实实的。从此，这个牧
民的羊就再也没有被野狼叼走过了。牧民的故事告诉我们：犯了错误，遭
到挫折，这是常见的现象。只要能认真吸取教训，及时采取补救措施，就可以
避免继续犯错误，遭受更大的损失。
篇二：几个英语误用的小故事
几个英语误用的小故事
世界是个万花筒，语言是个魔术师，正是语言这个最高明的魔术师把天地间的万般事物描绘得惟妙惟肖，淋漓尽致。连珠的妙语给人美的享受，精辟的格言给人智慧的启迪，诙谐幽默的语言更会增添生活的多姿多彩。一个字(词)的换用或误解就会导致全句，甚至全文的歧意。 现编辑几则轶事趣闻，但愿能给读者一点新意扑面，“趣”在其中之感。
（一）
英国的贵族富斯特(Foster)在美国旅行时，正赶上美国的社交季节。一次，他应邀参加一个较为重要的晚会，会上遇见了一位美丽、漂亮、活泼、可爱的小姐，他忍不住要献点殷勤，说点称赞的话。于是他就用了一句很漂亮的英国话对她说：“You are looking very fresh !”这句话的意思是：“你看起来真是朝气蓬勃！”可是富斯特没有想到，他的马屁竟然拍到马腿上了。那位小姐一听，大为生气，竟至拂袖而去，不再理会这位很有身份的贵族了。原因何在？原来fresh一字，到了美国之后，受到德国移民所说的德国话的影响而产生出英文原来没有的新意思。“fresh”的新意思是：“厚颜的，卤莽的，无理的”。在当时，fresh一词的意思完全是美国俚语，竟然具有“下流而狎昵”的意思。富斯特对一个少女说这样的话，她怎么能不生气呢？
（二）
奚落受尽在一“点”
英国一位很有身份的绅士，他对社会上出现的新式服装非常反感，为了表明自己的立场，他在报纸上登了一则启示“I will wear no clothes which will distingush me from my fellow-
men”．这句话的意思是：“任何使我显得与众不同的衣服我都不愿意穿”。但不知怎么回事，当这则启示在报纸上登出来的时候，却成了：“I will wear no clothes ,which will distinguish me from my fellow- men.”。莫名其妙地多了一个逗号。这样一来，这个句子就成了非限定性定语从句，其意思是：“我什么衣服都不愿意穿，这样我就显得与众不同了”。什么衣服都不穿，的确与众不同。这个保守的绅士被人好一阵奚落。
（三）
错用一词一条命
一位到英国旅游的法国绅士正在湖边散步，一不小心，他掉进了湖中，他一边拼命挣扎着一
边高喊“Help！”“救命！”。一位也在附近散步的英国绅士听到之后，走了过来，慢吞吞地脱掉衣服，正欲跳到水中救人。可能由于被水淹昏了头或者英语学得太差，法国人大喊：“I will be drowned and no one shall save me !”
听到这句话之后，英国绅士竟然重新穿上衣服，拂袖而去。法国人沉入湖底，命丧黄泉。 他丧命的原因就在于他说错了话，用错了词。他的本意是：“我要淹死了，怎么没有人来救我？”。可是，他将shall和will给用颠倒了，这样这句话的意思就成了：“我愿意淹死，谁也不准来救我”。英语中，如果shall用在第二、三人称，具有强烈命令的意思。 （四）
1962年英国和美国召开高级裁军会议，英方代表提出 table a motion(讨论提案），而美方代表却竭力反对。争论许久，最后美方代表说："But it's a very good motion .Why do you want to table it ?''（“但这是一个很好的提案，你们为什么要将它搁置？”），英方代表这才恍然大悟，原来他们的双方观点是一致的，都是要讨论这个提案。引起这场麻烦的是table这个单词。table有两个意思，即英国英语“讨论”和美国英语“不讨论”。
（五）
名人名错
英国大文豪查里斯·狄更斯功成名就之后应邀到美国访问讲学，他演讲了一场又一场，受到了热烈欢迎。有一天，他来到美国名城纽约，演讲时，全场观众非常热情，气氛十分热烈。狄更斯很受感动，于是他就大声对所有的观众说了一声：“Today I can see many homely faces here”话音未落，听众脸上顿生愠色，很多人愤然离席而去。怎么回事呢？原来问题出在“homely”一词，狄更斯的本意是：“今天我看到了许多诚挚真情的面孔”。但他忽视了英国英语和美国英语的差异。“homely”一词在英国英语中的意思是：“热情友好的、诚恳真挚的”，但在美国英语中的意思却是：“形秽貌陋的、”。
（六）
“祸”起哪端？
一位英国老太太在一家邮局买了一张邮票，她想让营业员帮她给贴到信封上，所以她就问了一句：“Will you help me to stick this stamp on?”：“您可以帮我贴上这张邮票吗？”。营业员正忙着，于是就说了一句：“You must stick it on yourself！”可是没有想到的是老太太十分恼火，大吵大闹了起来。一怒之下，她竟然找老板告状，这位英语没有说好的营业员差点因此而丢
了饭碗。怎么了？
营业员的意思很明显就是让老太太自己贴上。可是由于这个营业员的英语说得不标准，他把on 当作介词来念了，将它弱读了，并紧接着就把yourself给说了下去，又在it 和on之间稍加停顿。结果就成了：“你得把邮票贴到自己身上”。
（七）
一个冠词，一顿打
一个英国人到美国朋友家去做客，可是朋友不在家。朋友的太太热情友好地接待了他，他非常感激。朋友太太送他走到大门口时，他真诚地对她说了一句：“Thank you for
entertaining me in the family way.”听到这句话，朋友的太太抄起一根棍子将这位英国人打了出去。原来，这个英国人将句字之中的冠词给用错了。“in a family way”是“一家人”的意思；而“in the family way”是“怀孕”的意思。试想，他能不挨打吗？。
（八）
Where ？Where？是何意？
第二次世界大战期间，美国总统罗斯富和当时中国总统蒋介石会面。罗斯富总统看到蒋夫人风度翩翩、气度非凡、美丽漂亮，就禁不住称赞了一句：“Your wife is very beautiful ！”。翻译立即翻译了过来：“贵夫人非常漂亮！”。蒋介石一听立即答到：“哪里！哪里！”这本是中国客套话，按英语习惯应该直接翻译成：“Thank you”即可。但随从翻译不知为什么竟翻译成了：“Where ？Where？”罗斯富总统听后心想：“我称赞你夫人漂亮，你问我哪里漂亮？”。于是他就回答了一句：“Everywhere！， Everywhere！”。如此岂不成了“到处都漂亮”了吗？
（九）
“字眼”选用须谨慎
一家濒临破产而又起死回生的企业为庆贺中外合资的成功，郑重其事地请来了上级领导，各界朋友，更请来了外资人员，奉若上宾。当公司“老总”发言说到：“我们的企业在几年前还是默默无闻的”时，一位翻译随即译成了：“Several years ago our company was quite
infamous.”。在场的外宾无不愕然，另一位翻译当即进行了更正：“Several years ago our company was quite unknown to the public.”话音刚落，哄堂大笑。原来，infamous 一词并不是
famous（出名的，著名的）的反意词，它的意思是“臭名昭著的、声名狼藉的、恶名昭彰的”。 （十）
谁之过？
大清重臣李鸿章出使德国，他应俾斯麦之邀前往赴宴。主、宾入席吃完水果之后，每人面前又都上了一大碗清水。俾斯麦很有礼貌地说了一声：“Help yourself.请用”，李鸿章听到：“喝了吧！”（help一词的读音），心中暗想：“偏偶小国、蛮夷之邦、不懂教化，刚才水果好吃，我已经吃了不少了，怎么又要让我再喝一大碗清水呢？但我堂堂大国一等大臣岂能让你小国小瞧了！”。所以他就把面前的那碗吃水果之后洗手用的水端起来一气喝了。当时，俾斯麦不了解中国虚实，为了不使李鸿章丢丑，他也将洗手水一饮而尽，见此情形，在座的其他文武百官只得忍笑奉陪。这到底是这位大清重臣英语没有学好呢？还是他出国考察之前学的那点西方礼节习俗不够用呢？
