中国寓言故事英语阅读语篇精选——用英语说中国故事 The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Power （狐假虎威） In the forest, the tiger was extremely powerful. It was fierce and tall—when it roared, the ground shook and the mountains trembled. All animals feared it. Everyone honored it as the "King of Beasts," and no one dared to offend it. One day, King Tiger was hungry and had no stored food left, so it went into the jungle to hunt by itself. Under the bushes, there lay a fluffy creature, sleeping lazily. King Tiger was secretly delighted when it saw this. Without a second thought, it pounced. Its claws were so big and strong—before the small animal could even open its eyes, it was tightly trapped under the tiger's sharp claws, unable to move. The sudden shock made the small animal a little scared, but its bright black eyes rolled quickly, and its white fur with a hint of brown shone in the sun. "Oh, it's a beautiful little fox!" King Tiger thought. "Now I can have a delicious, full meal." However, the little fox was very cunning. Although it was caught by King Tiger and had almost no chance to escape, it still thought quickly and finally came up with a clever plan. It calmly said to the tiger: "Even though you've caught me, you can't eat me—otherwise, you will definitely be punished!" King Tiger's stomach was growling with hunger. How could it give up the chance to fill its stomach? It had originally planned to ignore the fox and swallow it in one bite, but when it heard that it might be punished, it felt a little nervous. It quickly asked: "I'm the King of the Forest! Who could possibly punish me?" Seeing that the tiger had fallen for its trick, the little fox continued speaking calmly: "Don't think I'm much smaller than you and seem less fierce. I was sent by the Heavenly Emperor to be the ‘King of Beasts'! If you eat me, you will go against the Heavenly Emperor's will, and you will certainly be punished!" The little fox, of course, knew that the tiger was the real King of Beasts. It also knew that only by saying this could it make the tiger keep asking questions. As expected, when the tiger heard that the Heavenly Emperor had sent someone else to be the "King of Beasts," it became anxious at once. It angrily retorted: "Why? Are you stronger or more majestic than me?" Then it thought again: "This little fox is full of tricks. Could it be fooling me?" So it sneered fiercely: "You must have made up this lie to deceive me!" Watching the tiger step into the trap it had set, the little fox was very happy in its heart, but it still put on a serious face and said to the tiger: "You just haven't seen how powerful I am. But if you don't believe me, let's walk around the forest. I'll walk in front of you, and you'll walk behind me. Then you can see how scared all the animals are of me. Anyway, I can't escape. If I'm lying to you, you can eat me later—it's not too late!" King Tiger thought this made sense and agreed without hesitation. So it followed behind the little fox, while the little fox walked swaggeringly in front of the tiger. When the animals saw them, they all screamed in fear and ran away in all directions. King Tiger saw this and thought, "What the little fox said is really true!" So it didn't dare to eat the fox anymore and had to let it go. But how could the tiger know? The animals actually ran away because they saw it—it really thought everyone was afraid of that tiny fox! Moral This story exposes how cunning people with no real ability use the power of others to show off and deceive. On the other hand, it also mocks the stupidity of tyrants who are as powerful as the "tiger" in the story. 一、全文翻译 在森林里，老虎无比威猛。它凶猛高大——一吼叫，地动山摇。所有动物都惧怕它，大家都尊称它为“百兽之王”，没人敢冒犯它。 一天，老虎大王饿了，而且没有存粮了，于是它亲自走进丛林打猎。灌木丛下，躺着一只毛茸茸的小动物，正懒洋洋地睡觉。老虎大王看到这一幕，心里暗暗高兴，毫不犹豫地猛扑过去。它的爪子又大又有力——那只小动物还没睁开眼睛，就被老虎锋利的爪子紧紧按住，动弹不得。 突如其来的惊吓让这只小动物有点害怕，但它那双黑亮的眼睛转得飞快，带着一丝棕色的白色皮毛在阳光下闪闪发亮。“哦，原来是一只漂亮的小狐狸！”老虎大王心想，“现在我能饱餐一顿美味了。” 然而，这只小狐狸非常狡猾。虽然被老虎大王抓住，几乎没有逃跑的机会，但它还是迅速思考，最终想出了一个妙计。它镇定地对老虎说：“就算你抓住我，也不能吃我——不然你肯定会受到惩罚！” 老虎大王的肚子饿得咕咕叫，怎么会放弃填饱肚子的机会呢？它本来打算不理会小狐狸，一口把它吞下去，但听到自己可能会受惩罚，就有点紧张了。它连忙问道：“我是森林之王！谁还敢惩罚我？” 看到老虎上了自己的当，小狐狸继续镇定地说：“别以为我比你小很多，看起来也没那么凶猛。我是天帝派来当‘百兽之王’的！要是你吃了我，就是违背天帝的旨意，你肯定会受惩罚的！”当然，小狐狸知道老虎才是真正的百兽之王，它也清楚，只有这样说，才能让老虎继续追问。 果然，老虎听到天帝派了别人来当“百兽之王”，立刻慌了。它生气地反驳：“凭什么？你比我更强壮，更威风吗？”接着它又转念一想：“这只小狐狸满肚子鬼点子，难道是在骗我？”于是它凶狠地冷笑一声：“你肯定是编了这个谎话来骗我！” 看着老虎一步步走进自己设的圈套，小狐狸心里特别高兴，但脸上还是装出严肃的表情，对老虎说：“你只是没见过我的厉害罢了。要是你不信，咱们就在森林里走一圈。我走在你前面，你跟在我后面，到时候你就能看到所有动物都多怕我了。反正我也跑不了，要是我骗你，你之后再吃我也不迟！” 老虎大王觉得这话有道理，毫不犹豫地答应了。于是它跟在小狐狸后面，而小狐狸则大摇大摆地走在前面。动物们看到它们，都吓得尖叫起来，四处逃窜。老虎大王看到这一幕，心想：“小狐狸说的是真的啊！”于是它再也不敢吃小狐狸了，只好放它走了。 可老虎哪里知道呢？动物们其实是因为看到了它才逃跑的——它居然真的以为大家都怕那只小小的狐狸！ 二、逐句翻译、解析 1.
