The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。
这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。
The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。
这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。
The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西，单独落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一块石头扔了过去，正巧打断了山羊的一只角。牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人， 山羊说：“即使我不说，又怎能隐瞒下去呢？我的角已断了，这是十分明显的事实。”
这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。
The Miser守财奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。”
这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”
这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他，自己生来痛恨鸟类。蝙蝠说他是老鼠，不是鸟，便被放了。后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来，被另一只黄鼠狼叼住，他再三请求不要吃他。这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老 鼠，又被放了。这样，蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字，终于死里逃生。
这故事说明，我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险。
The Ass and the Grasshopper 驴子与蚱蜢
AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙动听的歌声所打动，自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音，便 羡慕地问他们吃些什么，才能发出如此美妙的声音来。蚱蜢答道：“吃露水。”驴子便也只吃露水，没多久就饿死了。
这个故事告诉人们不要企望非份之物。
The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, 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 and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
狮子睡着了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来，把他抓住，准备吃掉。老鼠请求饶命，并说如果保住性命，必将报恩，狮子轻蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，狮子真的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获，并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎，走过去咬断绳索，放走了狮子，并说：
“你当时嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的报答， 现在可清楚了，老鼠也能报恩。”
4. 女排队员励志小故事带翻译
参加本届韩国光州大运会的中国女排，继比赛首日以3比1击败东道主韩国队后，6日又以3比0战胜哥伦比亚队，目前以两战全胜的战绩暂列小组第一，接下来，她们还将迎战智利队，如果取胜，她们将以小组第一的身份进入八强。
本次中国大学生女排是以2013—2014赛季的全国大学生联赛冠军北京航空航天大学女排为班底，吸收了北体大及浙江大学的部分队员组成的。身为北航女排主教练的原中国女排国手杨昊自然也就成为此次中国大学生女排的主教练。
杨昊从国家队退役后，先是进入大学读书，毕业后就到北航担任体育教师，同时兼任北航女排的助理教练。2011年，她赴美国学习了半年，回国后担任主教练。让这位奥运会金牌得主、中国女排“黄金一代”的主攻手担任教练，对杨昊而言既是一次挑战，也是一个机会。
北
航女排的队员大多是从普通高中走出来的，排球对她们来讲多是出于兴趣和爱好，水平自然难以和专业队选手相比，而且，她们也不是全天训练，她们的主要任务还
是上课学习，每天训练的时间最多也就三个小时。“她们还要完成大学四年的学业，有的研究生队员的课程也不轻松，因此，我没有太多的时间安排她们训练，只能
从训练质量上想办法。”
杨昊认为，此次中国队派出一支完全由在校大学生组成的队伍参加大运会女排比赛，本身就是一件
很有意义的事。从目前看来，我们的成绩还算不错，这也让大家更加坚定了对“体教结合”这一模式的信心。在她看来，“排球这项运动非常适合在校园开展，除了
队员需要具备较好的个人技术外，更强调集体，强调战术，这就要求队员们打球时一定要动脑子，一定要有很强的接受能力，而大学生们就很符合这一要求。”
北
航女排这几年不仅在国内大学生比赛中打出了名气，在整个国内排坛，也成为一支受到关注的队伍。据杨昊介绍，目前，有几支国内职业俱乐部都提出要引进北航的
队员。对于是否让自己的队员加入职业队，杨昊表示，“看她们自己”，“如果喜欢打球，她们可以等到大学毕业拿到文凭了，再去打职业队也不晚，我现在让她们
尽量避免运动伤病，如果身体保持得好，又愿意打排球的话，等她们毕业了再去打职业队也不晚，而且我相信她们有这个实力。”
说
到排球运动在校园的开展，杨昊认为：“全国已有数十所大学组建了女排，不过，我觉得这并不是理想的数字，因为排球在国内有非常多的爱好者，很多人就算不会
打也会看，也懂规则，在大学校园尤其显著。”杨昊说：“我们的校园排球和美国相比还是差了很多，我在那里待了半年多的时间，保守估计美国至少有300所以
上的大学有男女排球队，这也正是美国国家男女排水平一直较高的基础。好多队员大学毕业就进入职业队，水平拔尖就被选入国家队。如果中国的大学校园排球也能
达到美国那个程度，相信中国国家队的水平要比现在提高一个档次。”
最后，杨昊对记者说：“记者们别光把眼光盯在国家
队、奥运会上，也应该多报道我们的校园排球，我注意到采访全国大学生比赛的媒体和记者寥寥无几，我们有时候拿了冠军，可回到学校知道的人还是很少，这让我
们的队员很是失落，既没有拿了冠军的自豪感，又没有体现出队伍的整体价值。我们的队员真的很不容易，既要上课，还要训练，更要比赛，她们每个人都有一个很
好的励志故事，不光对大学生，其实对所有的学生都有激励作用。”

after the game to a 3-1 victory over South Korea after the 6th and 3-0
win over Colombia, now with two wins from the record for the group of

the Chinese women's volleyball team followed as a coach for Yang Hao is
both a challenge and also an opportunity.

women's volleyball team mostly come from the ordinary high school,
volleyball for them is of interest and the hobby, more professional
level of natural and hard team players, compared and they are also not
all day training, their main task is learning in class, most time is
three hours a day. \"They must complete the university for four years of
studies, some graate courses also not easy, so I didn't have much
time to arrange their training, only to find a way to from the training
quality.\"
Yang Hao thought, the
Chinese team sent a completely created by a group of college students to
participate in the universiade women's volleyball match, itself is a
very meaningful thing. From now, our performance is not bad, it also
makes everyone more determined to \"teaching\" the model of confidence.

emphasis on the collective, emphasis on tactics, this requires the
players to play must move the brain, must have a strong ability to
accept, and college students is very accord with the request.\"

the years in the game with fame, throughout the domestic volleyball
world, has also become a concern team. According to Yang Hao introces,
at present, there are several domestic professional clubs are put
forward to the introction of buaa. For whether to let his players to
join the professional team, Yang Hao said, \"look at their own\", \"if
you like play, they can wait until the university graation diploma,
again to play professional team also not too late, I let them try to
avoid sports injury, if the body keep well, and would like to play
volleyball, such as their graate's not too late to play professional
team again, and I believe they have this power.\"
Said
to the volleyball movement in the development of the campus, the Yang
Hao said: \"the national dozens of universities set up the women's
volleyball team, however, I think this is not ideal, because the
volleyball in China there are so many fans, many people even if not to
play will also see, also know the rules, in the university campus is
particularly significant.\" Yang Hao said: \"our school volleyball or
difference compared with those in the United States a lot, I stayed
there for half a year time, more conservative estimates at least 300 so
the university there are men and women volleyball team, which is the
basis of the national level of men and women volleyball has been high. A
lot of players get into university professional team, top-notch level
was elected to the national team. If China's volleyball campus that can
reach the United States, believe that the Chinese national team level to
a level that now.\"
Finally,
Yang Hao told reporters: \"the reporters don't just look at, in the
national team, Olympic Games volleyball should also reported more of our
campus, I noticed a few media and journalists covering the national
college students' competition, we sometimes get the champion, returned
to the school can know is very few, our players are lost, neither took
the title pride, and did not reflect the overall value of the contingent
of. Our team is really not easy, should not only have a class, more
training, more to the game, each of them has a very good inspirational
story, not only for college students, actually has incentive effect to
all the students.\"

The Country Squire
In a small pretty village in Notting ham shire there formerly lived a respectable Squire， who excelled all his friends in amusements athletic， and whose manner of living was far from ascetic． A wife he had taken for better or worse， whose temper had proved an intolerant curse；but at length， to his great and unspeakable joy， she died when presenting a fine little boy．Strange fancies men have；—the father designed to watch o’er the dawn of his son's youthful mind，—that，only approached by the masculine gender， no room should be left him for feelings more tender．“Had I ne’er seen a woman，” he often would sigh，“What Squire in the country so happy as I！” The boy was intelligent， active， and bright， and took in his studies uncommon delight；no juvenile follies distracted his mind； no visions of bright eyes， or damsels unkind， and those fair demisisterly beings so gay， yclept“pretty cousins， ne’erpopped in his way； till at length this remarkably singular son could number of years that had passed twenty one．”
Now the father had settled， his promising son should his studies conclude when he reached twenty one；and he went，with a heart beating high with emotion， to launch the young man on life's turbulent ocean．As they entered the town，a young maiden tripped by， with a cheek like a rose， and a lightlaughing eye．“O father， what's that？” cried the youth with delight， as this vision of loveliness burst on his sight．“O，that，” cried the cautious and politic Squire， who did not they outh's ardent glances admire，“is only a thing called a Goose，my dear son ；we shall see many more ere our visit is done．”
Blooming damsels now passed with their butter and cheese，whose beauty might even an anchorite please：“Merelygeese！” said the Squire，“don't mind them，my dear；thereare many things better worth looking at here．” As onwards they passed， every step brought to view some spectacle equally curious and new；and the joy of the youth hardly knew any bounds， at the roped ancers， tumblers， and merry gorounds．
As soon as the tour of the town was completed， the fatherre solved that the boy should be treated； so， pausing an instant，he said，“My dear son， a new era today in your life has begun；now of all this bright scene and the gayeties in it，choose whatever you like，it is yours from this minute．”“Choose whatever I like？” cried the jouthful recluse．“O， thank you，dear father， then give me—a goose！”
38．乡绅
从前，在诺丁汉郡的一个美丽的小村庄里住着一位可敬的绅士。他玩起体育竞技游戏来比所有的朋友都高强，过的日子绝不是苦行僧式的。不管是福是祸，他娶了个妻。结果她脾气奇坏，成了个难以忍受的灾星。终于，她在产下一玲珑佳儿后死去，乡绅先生的万分欣喜自是不可言传。人不时会突发奇想。这位父亲决定亲自督察儿子年幼的头脑的启蒙，务必使他接触的都是男性，绝不留下余地萌生更温柔的感情。“倘我从不曾见过女人，”他常常叹息道，“全国的乡绅里谁人能有我快活！”那男孩聪明、活泼而又通达事理，异常地喜欢学习。从不因小孩子的胡闹而分心；从没有明亮的眸子，或狠心的小妞，或被谓之“妩媚表亲”、半似姐妹的放肆尤物突然出现在他面前。到最后，这位非同寻常、出类拔萃的儿子终于度过了21个年头。
父亲决定，他的前途无量的儿子在21岁时应该结束学业。于是他满心激动地带领年轻人启航进入汹涌的人生之海。当他们进城时，正有一少女款款经过，腮如玫瑰，眼笑流波。“哦，父亲，那是什么？”当那可爱身影闯入他的眼帘时，年轻人快乐地喊道。“噢，那个，”谨慎而讲究谋略的乡绅根本不赞赏儿子热烈的目光，于是大声说，“不过区区一笨鹅而已，我亲爱的孩子，我们一路还会见到很多的。”
携奶油乳酪的如花少女络绎而过，就是隐士也会被她们的美丽打动。“不过是些笨鹅！”乡绅道，“我儿不必放在心上，此间有许多事物更值得一观呢。”他们继续前行，每一步都见到同样新奇有趣的景象，年轻人看到走绳索的，翻斤斗的，和旋转木马等等，其乐也无穷。
小城之行一结束，父亲就决定要款待儿子。于是，他停顿片刻后说，“我亲爱的儿子，今日起你的生活开始了一个新的时期。现在，在所有这眩目景象及种种赏心乐事中，选出你最喜爱的，你立刻就能得到它。”“由我任意选择？”年轻的隐居者大叫，“啊，谢谢你了，父亲，那就给我一只笨鹅吧！”
