C. 英语的经典小故事

中文意思在底下:
Once upon a time an old man and woman lived in the mountains. Everyday the old man went to the mountain and collected firewood, while the old woman went to the river and did the laundry. One day, she was doing the washing when a big peach came floating down the river towards her. As it was a big and juicy-looking fruit, she thought that her husband would be glad to eat it so she took it home. When the old man came back for lunch and saw the nice peach, he was really happy. The old woman cut the big peach open with a knife. What a surprise! A lovely little boy was in the peach.

The old man and woman had no children so they were really grateful the gods had sent them a boy in this peach. Since he was born in a peach, they decided to call him Momotaro which means "peach-boy". The old woman cooked a meal for the little boy who ate as much as he could; the more he ate, the more he grew. Soon he became a tall and strong boy.

No matter how tall or strong he was, Momotaro was a lazy boy. Day after day, all he did was sleep and eat. In the village the other boys went to the mountain and picked firewood while Momotaro was the only one doing nothing. This worried the old man and the old woman, so they asked the other boys to try to make Momotaro go and work with them.

The boys then invited him, "Momotaro, would you come with us? We're going to collect firewood."

But he answered, "I haven't a basket, so I can't go with you" and went back to sleep.

The following day, they invited him again, "Momotaro, would you come with us? We're going to collect firewood."

And he answered them, "I haven't any sandals, so I can't go with you" and went back to sleep. Upon hearing this, the old woman got angry with Momotaro for being so lazy, so the next day he went to collect firewood with the other boys.

While the boys were working and collecting firewood, Momotaro took a nap. When the work was finished, the boys decided to go back to the village. Just then, Momotaro awoke and said to them, "I'll collect firewood and come back with you."

They retorted, "If you start working now, we'll get back too late."

Momotaro turned a deaf ear to them and went to a very big tree. Holding it by the middle, he uprooted it. Astonishing! All the boys could not believe their eyes! Thus the tall and strong Momotaro carried the big tree, while the other boys carried bundles of firewood back to the village. The old man and the old woman were amazed when they saw Momotaro carrying this very big tree as if it was a mere bundle of firewood.

The county lord happened to hear about this and wished to meet Momotaro. The next day Momotaro went to see the county lord. The lord said to him, "Ogres have been threatening and robbing my peasants for a long time. If you are as strong as I heard, you shall go and punish them." Momotaro then agreed to go to the Island of Ogres.

For his journey, the old man and woman baked some millet cookies and gave them to Momotaro. Away he went and on his way he met a dog.

"Momotaro, where are you going?" asked the dog.

"To the Island of Ogres, to punish them."

"And what are you bringing with you?"

"The best millet cookies of Japan."

"Can I have one and go with you?" offered the dog. Momotaro gave the dog a cookie and they went along together.

Soon they met a monkey.

"Momotaro, where are you going?" asked the monkey.

"To the Island of Ogres, to punish them."

"And what are you bringing with you?"

"The best millet cookies of Japan."

"Can I have one and go with you?" offered the monkey. Momotaro gave the monkey a cookie and the three of them went along together.

Then they met a pheasant.

"Momotaro, where are you going?" asked the pheasant.

"To the Island of Ogres, to punish them."

"And what are you bringing with you?"

"The best millet cookies of Japan."

"Can I have one and go with you?" offered the pheasant. So Momotaro gave the pheasant a cookie too.

Momotaro, the dog, the monkey and the pheasant went together to the Island of Ogres by boat. They were sailing but could not see the island, so the pheasant went up in the sky. He found the island and guided the boat. Soon they landed on the Island of Ogres. There on the island was a great big castle with a huge door. It was tightly closed, but the monkey jumped easily inside and opened the huge door.

Momotaro entered and said to the ogres, who were having a feast, "My name is Momotaro, and I came to punish you." The ogres laughed at him, but the dog ran in and bit them as Momotaro fought using his sword. Momotaro and his companions, having eaten the best millet cookies of Japan, knew no fear and were strong.

At last the ogres cried for mercy, "We shall never be bad again, please spare our lives."

The defeated ogres gave Momotaro their treasure. He took it and returned with his companions, who had eaten the best millet cookies of Japan and helped defeat the ogres. The old man and the old woman, who had been worrying about Momotaro, welcomed them back cheerfully.

After that Momotaro and the old man and woman lived happily together.

很久很久以前,一个地方住着老爷爷和老奶奶.通常,爷爷上山砍柴,奶奶去河边洗衣服.一天,奶奶洗衣服时,一个大桃子一沉一浮地顺水漂来.看到了这个桃子,奶奶就把它带回了家,想让爷爷尝个鲜.吃中午饭时,爷爷从山里回来了,看到了这个桃子后欢喜得不得了.两个人刚刚将桃子切开,不由得吓了一大跳,原来呀,一个活蹦乱眺的小男孩从桃子里面跳了出来.

爷爷和奶奶没有孩子,于是欢天喜地地认为孩子是天赐的,就把他叫做"桃太郎", 奶奶做好了饭给他吃,尽管桃太郎有点儿害怕,但仍然吃得很香甜.于是,桃太郎渐渐地长大了.

桃太郎不停地吃,不停地长,变成了一个大力士,同时也是一个大懒汉.每天的任务只是吃了睡,睡了吃.村里的年轻人每日上山捡柴,可桃太郎却什么活也不干.爷爷和奶奶挺担心的,就拜托村里年轻人说:"叫上桃太郎一起去吧."当他们来找桃太郎一起上山并说:"桃太郎,一块儿打柴去吧"时,他却推说:"没有背篓,去不成啊."说完后,继续睡午觉.第二天,这些年轻人又来邀桃太郎,他推诿道:"没鞋,去不了哇."又过了一天,奶奶终于忍不住生气了,没有办法,桃太郎不得不和村里的年轻人们一起上山了.

大家在山里拾柴,桃太郎却只是睡大觉.等到大家收拾好柴篓要回家时,桃太郎说:"我也想拾点儿柴,然后一起回去吧."大家说:"天色都已经不早了,来不及了."就在这时, 桃太郎抓住了一棵大树,突然间将它拔了出来,把大家吓了一大跳.于是,他扛着大树和大伙返回了村里.见到了这种情况,爷爷和奶奶非常吃惊.这事传到了大人的耳朵里,大人萌生了特别想见桃太郎的念头.见了面,大人说:"前一阵儿总有坏魔鬼骚扰村民,偷盗各种物品器具.因为你很有力气,那么请你去征服魔鬼吧."因此,桃太郎伏鬼这件事就这么定了.

爷爷和奶奶作好了黄米面团给桃太郎带上.就这样他出发了.途中他遇到了一条狗, 狗问他,:
"桃太郎,你这是去哪儿呀."
"魔鬼要去岛上,我正要去除鬼."
"那你腰间挂的是什么呢?"
"最最好吃的黄米面团."
"给我一个好吗,我和你一起去",狗说.
于是桃太郎给了狗一个黄米面团.
和狗一起继续行进时,又遇到了一只猴子,猴子问:"桃太郎,你这是去哪儿呀."
"魔鬼要去岛上,我去除鬼."
"那你腰间挂的是什么呢?"
"最最好吃的黄米面团."
"给我一个吧,我和你们一块儿去",猴子说.
桃太郎又给了猴子一个黄米面团.
于是,桃太郎带着狗和猴子继续赶路了.这回跳出来一只野鸡.同样地,野鸡问他:
"桃太郎,你这是去哪儿呀."
"魔鬼要去岛上,我去除鬼."
"你腰间挂着的是什么呀?"
"最最好吃的黄米面团."
"给我一个吧,我和你们一块儿去."

这样,桃太郎又给了野鸡一个黄米面团. 桃太郎,狗,猴子,野鸡好不容易才到了海边,因为魔鬼们已经去了岛上,他们就划船向海岛出发了.摇啊摇,摇啊摇,怎么也看不到那个岛屿.野鸡就飞到了空中,观察到了岛屿的位置,指挥着大家向那个地方划去,这样,大家到达了岛上.岛上有一座大城,城门紧闭, 猴子敏捷地爬到了门里,将门栓摘掉,把门打开了.而魔鬼们仍一无所知地又是喝酒又是唱歌.桃太郎大声喝道:"我乃桃太郎是也,前来消除你们.

"魔鬼们见他们势单力薄,并不把他们放在眼里.但是,吃了最最好吃的黄米面团后精力充沛的桃太郎和伙伴们并肩作战, 瞬间就把魔鬼们打得落花流水.

魔鬼们赔罪说:"我们归还抢盗来的宝物,决不再做坏事了,给我们留一条活路吧." 惩治了魔鬼后,桃太郎和伙伴们带着宝物回到了村里.正担惊受怕的爷爷和奶奶见状非常高兴.从那以后,桃太郎与爷爷和奶奶一直过着幸福愉快的生活.

The hardworking blacksmith Jones used to work all day in his shop and so hard working was he that at times he would make the sparks fly from his hammer.琼斯是个非常勤劳的铁匠，常常一整天都在店里工作。他工作非常努力，他的铁锤下常常是火花飞舞。
The son of Mr. Smith, a rich neighbor, used to come to see the blacksmith everyday and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself watching how the tradesman worked.邻居史密斯先生很有钱，他的儿子常常来看琼斯打铁。他喜欢看这位工匠工作，常常一看就是几个小时。
"Young man, why don't you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks, even if it is only to pass the time?" said the blacksmith. "Who knows, one day, it may be of use to you."“年轻人，为什么不亲自尝试一下如何制作鞋钉呢，哪怕只是为了消磨时间？”铁匠说，“没准，有一天它会对你有帮助。”
The lazy boy began to see what he could do. But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.懒懒的孩子开始想看看自己到底能做什么。然而，仅仅经过很短的练习，他便发现自己非常熟练起来，很快他就做出了最好的鞋钉。
Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and was forced to take up residence in another country. It so happened that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money to buy tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers' shoes.老史密斯先生去世了，而他的儿子则因为战争的缘故失去了所有的财产。他不得不离开家园，在另外一个国家住了下来。巧的是，这个国家的这个地区，急需大量军鞋，所以这个村子里有很多鞋匠，他们总是花费很多钱购买鞋钉。有时，即使付了很高的价钱，也买不到他们想要的鞋钉。
Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in his workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.在这食不果腹的困难时刻，年轻的史密斯记起自己曾学过制鞋钉这门手艺，便突发奇想，想和这些鞋匠们做一个交易。他对他们说，如果他们可以帮助他成立一个店铺，他就可以做鞋钉。鞋匠们对他的这一提议欣喜若狂。很快，史密斯发现他做的鞋钉是村里面最好的。
"How funny it seems," he used to say, "even making tacks can bring a fortune. My trade is more useful to me than were all my former riches."“这真是有趣，”他常常会说，“即便是做鞋钉也会带来财富。与我以前所有的财富相比，我现在做的事情对于我来说更有用。”

2."This is a chance of a life time," I declared to my friend Stacy as I locked the door of my office and left the restaurant I managed. "It's every twenty-seven-year-old woman's dream to live in New York City, and in a few months I'll know if I get the transfer."

"这可是我生命中的一次机遇，"我对斯泰西说。说着，我锁上办公室的门，离开了我经营多年的饭店。在纽约生活，这可是每个27岁的女人所梦寐以求的.还有几个月我就可以知道能否获准迁入。

I watched the moonlight glisten on the waters of Laguna Beach. "I'll miss it here, but living in the Big Apple is everything I've ever wanted - a dream come true."

我凝视着倒映在拉古纳湾水面上的月光。"我很留恋这里，可住在纽约是长久以来我心中惟一的梦想--如今，美梦就要成真了!"

We met a group of our friends at a local cafe, and I jabbered on about the possibility of my move. Laughter erupted from a nearby table. I watched as a handsome man captured the attention of his friends with his engaging story. His broad, warm smile and air of confidence held me in a trance. Stacy nudged me. "You're staring,

在街上的一家小咖啡店里，我们遇到了一群朋友，我便和他们闲聊着我可能要走的事。这时，邻近的一张桌子爆发出阵阵笑声。我应声望去，看见一个英俊的男人正在给他的朋友讲一个引人人胜的故事。他那坦率、温暖的笑容和自信的模样让我不由地发怔。 斯泰西轻轻地捅了我一下，说道："嘿，米歇尔，你发什么呆，好像着魔了一样。"

Michelle, and about to drool." "Wow," I whispered. I watched the gorgeous guy push up the sleeves of his bulky sweater. Everyone at his table had their eyes fixed on him. "That's the man I want to marry." "Yeah, right," Stacy droned. "Tell us more about where you'd like to live in New York, because we all plan to visit you there when you land this job. " As I spoke my gaze drifted back to the debonair man.

我看着那英俊的家伙卷起他那宽松外套的衣袖。他桌边的同伴都全神贯注地望着他。我轻呼道；"哦！那正是我要嫁的男人。""的确不错，"斯泰西说。"不过，还是快说说你在纽约打算住哪儿？要知道我们都打算等你工作定了去那儿看你。" 我回答着她的问题，目光却不由自主地移向那个神采飞扬的男人。

Three months later my friends and I gathered at the same restaurant. "To life in the Big Apple!" they cheered as we tapped our glasses together. "My chance of a lifetime!" We talked for hours. I told them of my plan to save money by moving out of my beach cottage and renting a room for the few remaining months. Our friend offered, "I have a fellow South African friend who is considering renting one of the four bedrooms in his house. His name is Barry. A great guy." He scribbled on a napkin. "This is his number. He's a forty-two-year-old confirmed bachelor. Says he's much too busy being a single dad to be a husband."

三个月后，我和朋友又相聚在同一家餐厅里。我们互相碰杯，欢呼道："为了纽约的新生活！"我们聊了几个小时，我总说这是我生命中的一次机遇。我告诉他们为省钱我决定搬出海边的小木屋，准备在离开前的几个月内租一间房间住。"我有一个来自南非的朋友，"一个朋友主动提出，"他叫巴里，是个很不错的家伙。""这是他的电话，"他在一张餐巾纸上写下了号码。"他是个42岁坚定的单身主义者。他戏言自己忙于做一个单身父亲而没有时间再做丈夫。"

I made an appointment to see the room the same day. I approached the entrance of the spacious house, and the door opened. "You must be Michelle," he said. He pushed up the sleeves of his bulky sweater and flashed his handsome smile. It was the man from the restaurant months before --- the man I wanted to marry.

当天，我便预约去看房子。我正朝那所大房子走去时，门开了。"你一定是米歇尔，"他说着，卷起他宽松外套的衣袖，脸上漾起迷人的微笑。这不就是几个月前饭店里的那个男人--那个我想要嫁的男人！

I stood staring, my mouth gaping, hoping I wasn't drooling.

我目瞪口呆地站在那里，希望自己没有失态。

"You are Michelle, aren't you? " he said, coaxing me out of my trance." Would you like to see the room?"

"你就是米歇尔，对吗？"他打断了我的思绪，说道："你想看看房间吗？"

Since then I have never sung by day."The bat replied,"But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away.
