中国寓言故事英语阅读语篇精选——用英语说中国故事 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well （井底之蛙） There was a shabby shallow well at the east end of a village. A frog lived in this well—he had lived there for a very long time. Even though the water at the bottom was shallow and smelly, and he could only see a small patch of sky (as big as the well’s mouth) when he looked up every day, the frog still loved his life here. One day, a big soft-shelled turtle from the East Sea passed by the shallow well. He saw the frog sunbathing comfortably at the bottom of the well and greeted him: “Little Frog Brother, this well is so small. Do you live here happily?” The frog looked up at the big turtle, and said proudly and contentedly: “It’s great here! Look how happy I am! Sometimes I jump up to the railing outside the well to play; sometimes I hide in the holes on the well wall to rest. When I soak in the water, the water floats around my armpits and supports my cheeks—it’s soft and comfortable. When I step in the mud, the mud covers my feet and hides my insteps. If I look back at those mosquito larvae, crabs, and tadpoles—none of them live as leisurely as I do! Besides, I have this whole pool of water to myself. I can jump freely in it. This joy is hard to describe. Why don’t you come in and feel it too?” The big turtle from the East Sea was tempted by the frog’s vivid and wonderful description. He was ready to go down into the well. But the well’s mouth was too small—before his left leg could get in, his right leg got stuck on the edge of the well. “Your home is too small, Little Frog Brother. I’d better not go down!” the turtle said as he pulled his left leg back. The frog was a little unhappy—the turtle actually thought his home was too small! So he asked in a provocative tone: “Big Turtle Brother, then tell me—where do you live? What’s life like there?” The big turtle didn’t notice the frog’s unfriendliness. He answered seriously: “I live in the vast East Sea. How big is the East Sea? Even a distance of a thousand li isn’t enough to describe how wide it is. How deep is it? Even a height of a thousand zhang (an ancient unit of length) isn’t enough to measure how deep it is. Every day, we swim in the boundless sea, with the endless sky above our heads. It’s so free and happy—we really enjoy it!” The frog stopped talking. It seemed to be thinking about something. When talking about his home, the big turtle had more to say. He continued: “Legend says that during the time of Yu the Great (a legendary ruler), there were floods nine out of ten years, but the sea water never increased. During the time of King Tang (another ancient ruler), there were droughts seven out of eight years, but the sea water never decreased. The sea water of the East Sea doesn’t change its volume because of time, and doesn’t increase or decrease because of floods or droughts. That’s the greatest happiness of living in the East Sea!” After introducing the East Sea, the big turtle was still lost in beautiful memories—he loved his home so much too! But the frog? He had already been stunned by what he heard. How could he have seen such a vast sea? He had always thought the sky was only as big as the well’s mouth. The water in his well sometimes existed and sometimes dried up, but he still felt proud and talked big about it. In comparison, he realized he was so small and unimportant. The frog at the bottom of the well thought and thought, and felt more and more ashamed. He couldn’t help but lower his head. Moral The frog at the bottom of the shallow well had never seen the world outside the well. He always thought the sky was only as big as the well’s mouth, and the small井底 (bottom of the well, as big as a foot square) was his whole life. But after hearing about the sea, he realized how shallow he was and how narrow his knowledge was. This story tells us that when understanding things and learning knowledge, we must contact, recognize, and understand them from all aspects. We must never take one part as the whole just because we see a little bit. This kind of attitude will only make us like the frog at the bottom of the well—satisfied with the status quo, ignorant and unlearned. In the end, we will only know one side of things, not the whole picture. 井底之蛙（中文翻译） 村子的东头有一口破旧的浅井。井里住着一只青蛙 —— 他在这儿住了很久了。尽管井底的水又浅又臭，每天抬头也只能看到一小块天空（只有井口那么大），可这只青蛙还是很喜欢这里的生活。 有一天，一只来自东海的大鳖路过这口浅井。他看到青蛙在井底舒服地晒太阳，就跟他打招呼：“青蛙小弟，这口井这么小，你住在这里开心吗？” 青蛙抬头看着大鳖，得意又满足地说：“这儿好得很呢！你看我多开心！有时候我跳到井外的栏杆上玩；有时候躲进井壁的洞里休息。泡在水里时，水漫过我的腋窝，托着我的脸颊，又软又舒服。踩在泥里时，泥巴没过我的脚，盖住我的脚背。要是回头看看那些孑孓、螃蟹和蝌蚪 —— 没有谁过得比我悠闲！而且，这一整池水都是我的，我能在里面自由地跳来跳去。这种快乐真是说不完。你要不要也下来感受感受？” 东海的大鳖被青蛙生动又精彩的描述打动了，准备下井去。可井口太小了 —— 他的左腿还没进去，右腿就被井沿卡住了。“青蛙小弟，你家太小啦，我还是不下去了！” 大鳖一边把左腿收回来，一边说。 青蛙有点不高兴了 —— 这只鳖居然觉得自己的家小！于是他带着挑衅的语气问：“鳖大哥，那你说说，你住在哪儿呀？那儿的生活怎么样？” 大鳖没察觉青蛙的不友好，认真地回答：“我住在广阔的东海里。东海有多大呢？就算用一千里的距离，也不够形容它的宽广；东海有多深呢？就算用一千丈（古代长度单位）的高度，也不够测量它的深度。我们每天在无边无际的海里游泳，头顶是一望无际的天空，自在又快乐，真是太享受了！” 青蛙不说话了，似乎在琢磨着什么。 一说起自己的家，大鳖还有好多话要说。他接着说：“传说在大禹（古代贤君）的时候，十年里有九年发洪水，可海水从来没涨过；到了商汤（古代君主）的时候，八年里有七年闹旱灾，可海水也从来没降过。东海的水不会因为时间而改变水量，也不会因为洪水或旱灾而增减。这就是住在东海最大的快乐啊！” 介绍完东海，大鳖还沉浸在美好的回忆里 —— 他也特别爱自己的家！可青蛙呢？他早就被听到的一切惊呆了。他哪儿见过这么辽阔的大海啊！他一直以为天空只有井口那么大，井里的水时有时干，可他还得意洋洋地吹牛。对比之下，他才发现自己多么渺小、多么微不足道。井底之蛙想啊想，越想越羞愧，忍不住低下了头。 寓意 浅井里的青蛙从来没见过井外的世界，总以为天空只有井口那么大，那方只有一尺见方的井底就是他的全部生活。可听完大海的故事后，他才意识到自己多么浅薄，见识多么狭隘。 这个故事告诉我们：认识事物、学习知识时，一定要从多方面去接触、了解和认识，绝不能因为只看到一点点，就把局部当成整体。这种态度只会让我们像井底之蛙一样，满足于现状，无知又浅薄，最终只能了解事物的一面，而看不到全貌。 逐句翻译 + 解析 1.
