Ⅱ 五年級演講10篇英語小故事，差不多4、5分鍾，帶翻譯

Last week, Mrs Black went to London. She didn』t know London very well, and she lost her way. Suddenly she saw a man near a bus stop. She went up to the man and said, 「 me! Can you tell me the way to the hospital, please?」 The man smiled. He didn』t know English! He came from Germany. But then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out an English dictionary. He looked up some words. Then he said slowly, 「I』m sorry I can』t understand you.」

上周，布萊克夫人去了一趟倫敦。她不太熟悉倫敦，結果她迷路了。突然她在一個公共汽車站附近看見一位男子。她急忙向這位男子走去，說道：「勞駕您一下！請您告訴我去醫院的路，好嗎？」這位男子笑了。他聽不懂英語。他來自德國。但是他將手伸進了自己的衣袋裡，從裡面掏出了一本英語詞典。他查找到了一些單詞。然後他一字一句地說：「我很抱歉我聽不懂你說的話。」

The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

【譯文】

老貓

一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。

於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【譯文】

一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。

他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。」

他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。

不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

【譯文】

城裡老鼠和鄉下老鼠

從前，有兩只老鼠，它們是好朋友。一隻老鼠居住在鄉村，另一隻住在城裡。很多年以後，鄉下老鼠碰到城裡老鼠，它說：「你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。」於是，城裡老鼠就去了。鄉下老鼠領著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家裡。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城裡老鼠。城裡老鼠說：「這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為什麼住在田野的地洞里呢？你應該搬到城裡去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會吃上美味佳餚，你應該到我城裡的家看看。」

鄉下老鼠就到城裡老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也為他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候，聽見很大的一陣響聲，城裡的老鼠叫喊起來：「快跑！快跑！貓來了！」他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。

過了一會兒，他們出來了。當他們出來時，鄉下老鼠說：「我不喜歡住在城裡，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因為這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。」

獅子和老鼠 THE LION AND THE MOUSE
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying： 「If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.」 The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: 「You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor； but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.」
一隻老鼠從一隻獅子面前跑過去,將它從夢中吵醒.獅子生氣地跳起來,捉住老鼠,要弄死它.老鼠哀求說：「只要你肯饒恕我這條小生命,我將來一定會報答你的大恩.」獅子便笑著放了它.
後來獅子被幾個獵人捉住,用粗繩捆綁倒在地上.老鼠聽出是獅子的吼聲,走來用牙齒咬斷繩索,釋放了他,並大聲說：「你當時嘲笑我想幫你的忙,而且也不指望我有什麼機會報答.但是你現在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向獅子效勞的.」

Ⅳ 五年級上冊英語小故事帶翻譯

A lion once fell in love with a beautiful girl， so he went to her parents and asked them to marry her to him，

The old parents did not know what to say，

They did not like the idea of giving their daughter to the lion， but they did not want to enrage the king of beasts，

At last the father said， "We are glad to marry our daughter to you， but we fear that you might possibly hurt her， So if you remove your claws and teeth， we will give her to you，"

The lion loved the girl very much， so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth， When he came to the parents again， they simply laughed in his face， and beat him out of their house，

一隻獅子愛上了一位美麗的女孩兒，便找到她的父母向她求婚。

女孩兒的父親不知道該如何回答，他不忍將女兒許配給野獸，但又害怕激怒這獸中之王。

於是父親說：「我們很樂意將女兒嫁給你，但又怕你不小心傷害她，如果你拔去牙齒，剁掉利爪，我們就將女兒嫁給你。」

獅子非常愛這個女孩兒，於是他修剪了爪子，拔掉了尖牙後又去找女孩的父母。可是這時，他們嘲笑他，並把他趕了出去。

寓意:有些人輕易相信別人的話，拋棄自己的長處，結果輕而易舉地被原來害怕他們的人擊敗了。

How a Colt Crossed the River

One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill. As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high. the colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! You'll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom. He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, don't always listen to others. You'd better go and try yourself. Then you'll know what to do." Later, at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, it's too dangerous!" "No, I want to try myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as deep as the squirrel told him. Real knowledge comes from practice.

小馬過河譯文

一天，小馬馱著麥子去磨坊。 當他馱著口袋向前跑去時，突然發現一條小河擋住了去路。小馬為難了，這可怎麼辦呢？ 它向四周望瞭望，看見一頭奶牛在河邊吃草。小馬問道：「牛阿姨，請您告訴我，這條河我能趟過去嗎？」奶牛回答說：「水很淺，剛到膝蓋。」 小馬正准備過河，突然叢樹上跳下一隻松鼠，攔住它大叫道：「小馬，別過河！你會被淹死的。昨天，我的一個夥伴就在這條河裡淹死啦！」小馬不知如何是好，於是決定回家問問媽媽。 小馬把路上的經歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說：「孩子，光聽別人說是不行的，你自己親自去試一試，就知道答案了。」 小馬回到河邊，剛要下水，松鼠又大叫起來：「小馬，你不要命啦？」小馬說：「讓我自己試試吧。」它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了過去。原來河水既不像老牛說的那樣淺也不像松鼠說的那樣深。實踐出真知。

Once upon a time there was a farmer who worked hard in the fields every day.One day,while he was ploughing the fields,he heard a bumping sound. He saw a dead rabbit .He thought to himself ,"Since it is so easy to get a rabbit like that, why should I work so hard all day long"He threw his hoe away and lay by the tree every day,dreaming for more rabbits to come.When he finally realized his foolish,he starved to death. The story told us no pain ,no gain , no one can reap where one has not sown.

從前有一個農民每天在地里辛苦勞作。一天他正在耕地時聽到撞擊聲擊聲擊聲擊聲；他看到一隻兔子躺在樹旁。他撿起一看是一隻肥大的兔子，他自言自語地說：「既然這么容易撿到兔子，為什麼我要整天辛苦勞作呢?」他扔掉鋤頭，每天躺在樹邊，夢想有兔子來。當他最終意識到他的愚蠢返回地里時，他發現他的稻穀全死了。這個故事告訴我們，不能等著機會和運氣帶來的不可預料的收獲們，也就是說不能不勞而獲。

從前，有兩只老鼠，它們是好朋友。一隻老鼠居住在鄉村，另一隻住在城裡。很多年以後，鄉下老鼠碰到城裡老鼠，它說：「你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。」於是，城裡老鼠就去了。鄉下老鼠領著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家裡。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城裡老鼠。城裡老鼠說：「這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為什麼住在田野的地洞里呢？你應該搬到城裡去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會吃上美味佳餚，你應該到我城裡的家看看。」

鄉下老鼠就到城裡老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也為他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候，聽見很大的一陣響聲，城裡的老鼠叫喊起來：「快跑！快跑！貓來了！」他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。

過了一會兒，他們出來了。當他們出來時，鄉下老鼠說：「我不喜歡住在城裡，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因為這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。」不跟學校有關，O(∩_∩)O嘻嘻！
