中国寓言故事英语阅读语篇精选———用英语说中国故事 The Farmer and the Tiger （农夫与老虎） Reeds grew luxuriantly and densely in the marsh. Next to the marsh was a field of well-grown crops. A farmer, holding a bow and arrows, was patrolling carefully by the crop field. He had walked back and forth several times, and everything around was the same as usual — there seemed to be nothing that would threaten the soon-to-ripen crops. The farmer got tired from walking, so he sat down by the marsh to rest. Suddenly, he noticed the reed catkins beside him falling one after another. Looking back, he saw large patches of reed catkins in the marsh falling rustlingly. “Strange, there’s no wind right now, and I didn’t touch the reeds either. Why are the reed catkins falling ” He felt a sudden sense of tension and became alert at once. He walked softly towards the place where the reed catkins were falling. As he got closer, he heard a rustling sound, which grew louder and louder. When he approached, he saw through the reed stalks a tiger jumping and frolicking there. It seemed extremely happy, tearing at something, leaping joyfully, and looking as if it owned the vast reed thicket all to itself. Even though the farmer had come so close, the tiger was still playing to its heart’s content and didn’t notice anyone approaching at all. However, the farmer thought the tiger had seen him. He immediately nocked an arrow to the bowstring as he usually did and hid himself. When he saw the tiger roar and jump towards him again, he aimed at the tiger’s chest, and the arrow flew off the string with a “swish”. The tiger fell to the ground immediately, and a large patch of reed catkins was stirred up by it. The farmer stepped forward and only then did he find a dead roe deer under the dead tiger. It turned out that the tiger was so happy about catching the roe deer that it forgot all the dangers around it! Moral After catching its prey, the tiger was so overly excited that it lost all sense of its surroundings. Unexpectedly, it was easily shot dead by the farmer with a single arrow. This story tells us that we must keep a calm mind at all times — not to be arrogant when we succeed, nor to be discouraged when we fail. We should be modest and prudent as we learn and make progress. 全文翻译 农夫与老虎 沼泽里，芦苇长得繁茂而茂密。沼泽旁边是一片长势良好的庄稼。一个农夫，手持弓箭，正在庄稼地旁仔细地巡逻。他已经来回走了好几趟，周围一切如常———似乎没有什么会威胁到即将成熟的庄稼。 农夫走累了，便在沼泽边坐下休息。突然，他注意到身旁的芦苇花絮接二连三地飘落。回头一看，只见沼泽里大片的芦苇花絮正沙沙地落下。“奇怪，现在没有风，我也没有碰到芦苇。为什么芦苇花絮在掉落？”他突然感到一阵紧张，立刻警觉起来。他轻轻地走向芦苇花絮掉落的地方。越靠近，他听到沙沙的声响越来越大。当他走近时，透过芦苇杆，他看到一只老虎在那里跳跃嬉戏。它看起来高兴极了，撕扯着什么东西，欢快地跳跃着，仿佛这片广阔的芦苇丛完全属于它自己。 尽管农夫已经离得这么近，老虎仍在尽情地玩耍，完全没有注意到有人靠近。然而， ... ...
