And good things could go wrong too.：不幸的事情可能会有好的结果，好事也可能会出问题。 3.Honesty is the best policy.：诚实为上策。与单元中“tell the truth（说实话）”这一短语相关，教育学生要诚实。 4.Never judge from appearances.：人不可貌相。就像单元里丑小鸭的故事，不能因为丑小鸭外表丑陋就歧视它，它最后变成了美丽的天鹅。 5.Where there is a will, there is a way.：有志者事竟成。可以鼓励学生像故事中的一些角色一样，遇到困难不放弃，努力达成目标。 6.A friend in need is a friend indeed.：患难见真情。就像狮子和老鼠的故事中，老鼠在狮子危难时伸出援手，它们才是真正的朋友。 7.Appearances can be deceiving.：外表可能具有欺骗性。如丑小鸭的故事，开始大家因它丑陋的外表而嫌弃它，却不知它会变成美丽的天鹅。 8.It's never too late to change.：改变永远不嫌晚。丑小鸭最终变成天鹅，说明无论开始的情况多么糟糕，都有改变和成长的可能。 9.Honesty is the foundation of trust.：诚实是信任的基础。在故事中，如果角色不诚实，如《皇帝的新衣》里的大臣和百姓，就会导致信任缺失，闹出笑话。 10.Courage is what it takes to stand up for the truth.：勇气是坚持真理的必备品质。在面对谎言和虚假时，像故事中可能出现的敢于说出皇帝没穿衣服的小孩，需要有勇气坚持真理。 The Fisherman and the Little Fish《渔夫和小鱼》 There once was a fisherman who lived in a little house by the ocean. He fished every day to feed his family. One day, he caught nothing except one small fish. "This isn't much," thought the fisherman, "but it's better than nothing." The little fish hopped around in the net and cried out to the fisherman. "Please return me to the water!" he said. "I'm too small to be a good dinner. Someday, I'll be big and fat. You could catch me then and feed your family for a week!" The fisherman listened as the fish spoke. He knew his family would love a big, fat fish. But he also knew that the ocean was very big. If he threw the fish back, he would never find it again. "Little fish," he said, "I would be a fool to put you back. You'll only be a small meal for my family, but at least they will have food. I cannot feed them with silly dreams!" 从前，有一个渔夫，他住在海边的一所小房子里。他每天都去捕鱼来养活家人。一天，他除了一条小鱼什么也没钓到。“这不算多，”渔夫想，“但总比没有好。”小鱼在网里跳来跳去，向渔夫喊道。“请把我放回水里！”它说。“我太小了，不能成为一顿美餐。总有一天，我会变得又大又肥。到那时你再抓住我，就可以让你的家人吃一个星期了！”渔夫听着鱼说话。他知道他的家人会喜欢一条又大又肥的鱼。但他也知道海洋很大。如果他把鱼放回去，就再也找不到它了。“小鱼，”他说，“我要是把你放回去，那我就是个傻瓜。你对我的家人来说只是一顿小餐，但至少他们会有食物。我不能用愚蠢的梦想来养活他们！” The Emperor's New Clothes《皇帝的新衣》 Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, “he is sitting in council,” it was always said of him, “The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe.” 很多年前，有一位皇帝，他对新衣服极其喜爱，以至于他把所有的钱都花在了服装上。他一点也不关心他的士兵；也不在乎去剧院或打猎，除非这些场合能给他展示新衣服的机会。他每小时都有一套不同的服装；而对于其他国王或皇帝，人们习惯说“他在开会”，而对他来说，总是说“皇帝在他的衣橱里开会”。 The Ugly Duckling《丑小鸭》 It is sunny and warm. Mother Duck is near the river. She has three eggs. They are small. Look! Now there are three small eggs and a big egg. Mother Duck sits on the eggs. Three eggs open. The ducklings are small and yellow. Oh, my lovely babies! I love you! The big egg opens later. The duckling is big and grey. He is ugly. Mother Duck swims. The three yellow ducklings sit on her back. The ugly duckling swims behind them. The three yellow ducklings play together. They are happy. The ugly duckling is sad. He swims away. In winter, it is cold. The ugly duckling has no home. It is spring again. The ugly duckling is in the grass. He sees two big swans. “Hello! Come and play.” “I'm an ugly duckling.” “No! You're a beautiful swan.” The ugly duckling looks into the water. He is a beautiful swan! Yes, I'm a beautiful swan! 阳光明媚，天气温暖。鸭妈妈在河边。她有三个蛋。它们很小。看！现在有三个小蛋和一个大蛋。鸭妈妈坐在蛋上。三个蛋孵开了。小鸭子又小又黄。哦，我可爱的宝宝们！我爱你们！大蛋后来才孵开。这只小鸭子又大又灰。他很丑。鸭妈妈去游泳。三只小黄鸭坐在她的背上。丑小鸭在它们后面游。三只小黄鸭一起玩耍。他们很开心。丑小鸭很伤心。他游走了。冬天，天气很冷。丑小鸭没有家。春天又到了。丑小鸭在草丛里。他看到了两只大天鹅。“你好！来一起玩吧。”“我是一只丑小鸭。”“不！你是一只美丽的天鹅。”丑小鸭看向水里。他是一只美丽的天鹅！是的，我是一只美丽的天鹅 ！ The Lion and the Mouse《狮子和老鼠》 A lion was sleeping under a tree. A little mouse was playing around the lion. Suddenly the lion woke up. “Who woke me up? I will eat you.” The lion opened his mouth and caught the mouse. “If you let me go, I will help you someday,” said the mouse. “You? I'm a lion. You're just a mouse,” laughed the lion. “What can you do?” “OK, I'll let you go.” The mouse ran away. The next day, the lion was trapped in a net. The mouse saw it and ran to the lion. He bit through the net and set the lion free. “Thank you. You saved my life,” said the lion. From that day on, the lion and the mouse became best friends. 一头狮子正在树下睡觉。一只小老鼠在绕着狮子玩耍。突然狮子醒了。“谁吵醒了我？我要吃了你。”狮子张开嘴巴抓住了老鼠。“如果你放我走，总有一天我会帮助你的，”老鼠说。“你？我是一头狮子。你只是一只老鼠，”狮子笑着说。“你能做什么？”“好吧，我放你走。”老鼠跑走了。第二天，狮子被困在了一个网里。老鼠看到了，就向狮子跑去。他咬破了网，救了狮子。“谢谢你。你救了我的命，”狮子说。从那天起，狮子和老鼠成了最好的朋友。 中国成语小故事01：Mend the fold after a sheep is lost 亡羊补牢 Once upon a time, there was a shepherd who had a flock of sheep. One morning, when he went to check on his sheep, he noticed that one of them was missing. After a careful inspection, he found that there was a hole in the sheep pen, and he realized that a wolf had come in during the night and taken a sheep. His neighbor, upon hearing about the incident, advised him, "You should fix the hole in the pen right away, or more sheep will be lost." But the shepherd thought, "The sheep is already gone. What's the use of fixing the pen now?" So he ignored his neighbor's advice. The next day, to his dismay, he discovered that another sheep was missing. The wolf had come back through the same hole. The shepherd was filled with regret. "I should have listened to my neighbor," he thought. Without delay, he repaired the hole in the sheep pen and made it sturdy. From that day on, no more sheep were lost to the wolf. 从前，有一个牧羊人养着一群羊。一天早上，当他去查看羊群时，发现少了一只羊。仔细检查后，他发现羊圈上有个洞，这才意识到是夜里来了一只狼，叼走了一只羊。 他的邻居听说了这件事，劝他说：“你应该马上把羊圈上的洞补上，不然还会有更多的羊丢失。” 但是牧羊人想：“羊都已经丢了，现在补羊圈又有什么用呢？” 于是他没有听从邻居的建议。 第二天，让他沮丧的是，他发现又少了一只羊。那只狼又从同一个洞钻进来把羊叼走了。牧羊人满心懊悔。“我真该听邻居的话。” 他想。 他立刻动手修补羊圈上的洞，并且把羊圈修得结结实实的。从那以后，再也没有羊被狼叼走了。 单词：shepherd /ˈʃepəd/ 牧羊人 flock /flɒk/ 一群（羊） inspection /ɪnˈspekʃn/ 检查 pen /pen/ 围栏 wolf /wʊlf/ 狼 neighbor /ˈneɪbə(r)/ 邻居 incident /ˈɪnsɪdənt/ 事件 dismay /dɪsˈmeɪ/ 沮丧 regret /rɪˈɡret/ 后悔 sturdy /ˈstɜːdi/ 坚固的 This story tells us that when problems arise, taking steps to remedy them in time can prevent further losses. 这个故事告诉我们，出了问题以后想办法补救，可以防止继续受损失。 中国成语小故事02：The fox borrows the tiger's fierceness狐假虎威 Once upon a time, a fierce tiger was hunting for food in the forest. After a long search, he finally spotted a fox. With a mighty pounce, the tiger caught the fox. The fox, feeling the danger, quickly thought of a plan. "How dare you catch me!" the fox exclaimed with a haughty air. "Don't you know that I am sent by Heaven to be the king of all the beasts? If you eat me, you will surely be punished by Heaven." The tiger was a bit suspicious. Seeing this, the fox added, "If you don't believe me, just follow me and see how all the other animals react when they see me." The tiger decided to follow the fox. As they walked through the forest, all the animals saw them. When they saw the tiger, they were so frightened that they ran away immediately. The tiger didn't realize that the animals were scared of him, not the fox. He actually believed that the fox was really the king of the beasts. So, the fox managed to save his life by using the tiger's might, walking in the tiger's company and showing off his "power" among the animals. 从前，一只凶猛的老虎在森林里觅食。找了很久后，它终于发现了一只狐狸。老虎猛地一扑，抓住了狐狸。 狐狸感到了危险，迅速想出了一个办法。“你竟敢抓我！” 狐狸趾高气扬地叫道，“你难道不知道我是天帝派来做百兽之王的吗？你要是吃了我，肯定会受到天帝的惩罚。” 老虎有点将信将疑。看到这一点，狐狸又说：“如果你不相信我，就跟在我后面，看看其他动物看到我时的反应。” 老虎决定跟着狐狸。当它们在森林里走着的时候，所有的动物都看到了它们。动物们一看到老虎，吓得立刻四处逃窜。老虎没有意识到动物们是害怕它，而不是害怕狐狸。它真的相信了狐狸是百兽之王。 于是，狐狸借助老虎的威风，与老虎同行，并在其他动物面前炫耀自己的 “权势”，成功地保住了自己的性命。 单词：fierce /fɪəs/ 凶猛的 hunt /hʌnt/ 打猎 spot /spɒt/ 发现 pounce /paʊns/ 猛扑 haughty /ˈhɔːti/ 傲慢的 Heaven /ˈhevn/ 天堂 suspicious /səˈspɪʃəs/ 怀疑的 react /riˈækt/ 反应 might /maɪt/ 力量 bully /ˈbʊli/ 欺负 The idiom "The fox borrows the tiger's fierceness" is used to describe those who rely on the power of others to bully and oppress others. 狐假虎威这个成语用来比喻凭借别人的权势来欺压他人。 练一练:小试牛刀 (Ⅰ) Once upon a time, there lived a kind - hearted woodcutter in a small village.
