中国童话英文版

1、《鹦雀笑鹏》

As the legend goes, during ancient times, in the expansive open country of North China, there was a kind of birds called "rocs".

The roc was very huge, with its back like a big mountain, and its wings like a stretch of cloud which could cover the sky. When it spread its wings, it could break through a storm and soar at a height of 90,000 li (1/2 kilometre) in the sky towards the sea in the south.

A small bird called the quail1 bounced on the ground, free and happy. It looked up at the roc soaring in the sky and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, see how cocky you are! Look at me, one jump can take me over 10 chi. How delightful2! Every day I come and go amid these weeds and thickets3 and fly freely. Don't I fly quite well too? But, where can you fly to anyway?"

译文：传说，古时候中国北方的原野上有一种鸟，它的名字叫“鹏”。

鹏长得很大，背脊像一座大山，翅膀像一大片云，能把天空遮住。它张开翅膀能冲破风暴，在九万里高的天空中飞翔，一直飞向南方的大海。

有一只叫鹦雀的小鸟，在地上蹦蹦跳跳，自由自在，非常快活。它望着天空中展翅飞翔的大鹏，忍不住发笑，说：“咳，看你神气活现的!我呀，一蹦一跳，就有十几尺，多么痛快啊!我每天在这些杂草和树丛里，来来去去，自由飞翔，不也飞得挺好吗?可是，你又能飞到哪里去呢?”

2、《骗猎遭黑》

The deer feared the leopard1 cat, the leopard cat feared the tiger, and the tiger the brown bear.

The brown bear resembled the fox but was bigger in size. It had long fur on its head, and could stand up like man. It had great strength and would devour2 man.

In the south of the State of Chu, there was a hunter good at ventriloquy. With a bamboo pipe he could imitate the cries of various kinds of wild animals.

Once, carrying his bow, arrows and firearms, he quietly went hunting in the mountain.

Up on the mountain, he first imitated the cries of the deer to lure3 the horde4 of deer to come over, so that he could shoot at them with the firearms. The leopard cat heard the cries of the deer and came running to devour the deer. The hunter was afraid of the leopard cat, so he hurriedly imitated the roar of the tiger to scare away the leopard cat. Hardly had the leopard cat been scared away when the tiger heard the roar and came. At this moment, the hunter was even more frightened, so he imitated the cries of the brown bear. As a result, the tiger was scared away like the leopard cat.

Then, when the brown bear heard the cries, it came to look for its companions. Seeing that it was a man, the brown bear at once struck him with its front paws, and tore him up with its teeth. In a short while, the hunter was torn to pieces and devoured5 by the brown bear.

译文：鹿害怕驱，驱害怕老虎，老虎害怕黑。

黑像狐狸，但是体形比较大。它头上披着长毛，能够像人一样站立起来，力气很大，要要吃人。

楚国南方有一个猎人口技很好。他会用竹管来模仿各种野兽的叫声。

有一次，他拿着弓箭和火器悄悄上山打猎。

上山以后，他先学鹿的叫声，想引诱鹿群过来，再用火器射猎。驱一听是鹿叫，就快步跑来想吃鹿。猎人害怕，急忙又学虎啸来吓走它。驱刚刚被虎啸吓跑，可是老虎却闻声赶到了。这时候，猎人更加害怕，于是就学黑叫。结果，老虎也像驱一样逃跑了。

后来，黑听见叫声，就来寻找同伴。刚走到前面，它一看是一个人，就立刻用前爪打他，用牙齿撕他，不一会儿，把猎人撕成碎块吃掉了。

“Oh, a bone is my throat.” He goes to see a doctor, “Please help me.” The doctor, Mr. Panda says, “Sorry, I can’t help you. The bone is inside.”

中国童话故事——愚公移山 传说很早以前，在冀州的南面、河阳的北面有两座大山，一座叫太行山，一座叫王屋山，山高万丈，方圆有七百里。 在山的北面，住着一位叫愚公的老汉，年纪快九十岁了。他家的大门，正对着这两座大山，出门办事得绕着走，很不方便。愚公下定决心要把这两座大山挖掉。 有一天，他召集了全家老小，对他们说："这两座大山，挡住了我们的出路，咱们大家一起努力，把它挖掉，开出一条直通豫州的大道，你们看好不好？" 大家都很赞同，只有他的妻子提出了疑问。她说："像太行、王屋这么高大的山，挖出来的那些石头、泥土往哪里送呢？" 大家说："这好办，把泥土、石块扔到渤海边上就行了！再多也不愁没地方堆。" 第二天天刚亮，愚公就带领全家老小开始挖山。 他的邻居是个寡妇，她有一个七八岁的小儿子，刚刚换完奶牙，也蹦蹦跳跳地前来帮忙。 大家干得很起劲，一年四季很少回家休息。 黄河边上住着一个老汉，这人很精明，人们管他叫智叟。他看到愚公他们一年到头，辛辛苦苦地挖山运土不止，觉得很可笑，就去劝告愚公："你这个人可真傻，这么大岁数了，还能活几天？用尽你的力气，也拔不了山上的几根草，怎么能搬动这么大的山呢？" 愚公深深地叹口气说："我看你这人自以为聪明，其实是顽固不化，还不如寡妇和小孩呢！不错，我是老了，活不几年了。可是，我死了还有儿子，儿子又生孙子，孙子又生儿子；子子孙孙，世世代代，一直传下去，是无穷无尽的。可是这两座山却不会再长高了，我们为什么不能把它们挖平呢！" 听了这些话，那个自以为聪明的智叟，再也无话可说了。 山神知道了这件事，害怕愚公一直挖下去，就去向上帝报告。老愚公的精神把上帝感动了，他就派两个大力神下凡，把两座大山背走，一座放到朔方东边，一座放到雍州南边。从此以后，冀州的南面，汉水的北面，就没有高山阻挡了。 寓意：只要有顽强的毅力，坚定的决心，坚持不懈，奋斗不息，再大的困难也能够克服。 原文： 太行、王屋二山，方七百里，高万仞。本在冀州之南，河阳之北。北山愚公者，年且九十，面山而居，惩山北之塞，出入之迂也。聚室而谋，曰："吾与汝毕力平险，指通豫南，达于汉阴，可乎？"杂然相许。其妻献疑曰："以君之力，曾不能损魁父之丘，如太行、王屋何？且焉置土石？"杂曰："投诸渤海之尾，隐土之北。"遂率子孙荷担者三夫，叩石垦壤，箕畚运于渤海之尾。邻人京城氏之孀妻，有遗男，始（），跳往助之。寒暑易节，始一反焉。河曲智叟笑而止之，曰："甚矣，汝之不惠！以残年余力，曾不能毁山之一毛，其如土石何？"北山愚公长息曰："汝心之固，固不可彻，曾不苦孀妻弱子。虽我之死，有子存焉。子又生孙，孙又生子；子又有子，子又有孙，子子孙孙，无穷匮也。而山不加增，何苦而不平？"河曲智叟亡以应。操蛇之神闻之，惧其不已也，告之于帝。帝感其诚，命夸娥氏二子负二山，一厝朔东，一厝雍南。自此，冀之南，汉之阴，无陇断焉。 列子《列子·汤问篇》 列子（公元前450-前375），名列御寇，春秋末郑国人。 《列子》，共８篇，保存了很多寓言故事。这些故事多数是采用民间传说。也有人说《列子》并非列子所著，而是后人假托。

When she was away from the shore, unfortunately, a strong wind rose and overthrew her boat. She was buried by the surging waves, being drowned quickly.这一天，女娃没告诉父亲，便一个人驾着一只小船向东海太阳升起的地方划去。不幸的是，海上突然起了狂风大浪，像山一样的海浪把女娃的小船打翻了，女娃不幸落入海中，终被无情的大海吞没了。After her death, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird with white beak and red claws.

Day after day, it never stopped.从此以后，她在波涛汹涌的海面上回翔阒，悲鸣着，把石子树枝投下去，想把大海填平。Puzzled by its behaviors, the sea said to Jing Wei with irony, "Stop doing that, poor little bird, it is totally meaningless! You'll never fill me up."大海奔腾着，咆哮着，嘲笑她：“小鸟儿，算了吧，你这工作就干一百万年，也休想把我填平！”To it, Jing Wei replied firmly, "I'll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it'll take me thousands of years! I'll fight on until doomsday!"精卫十分执著，在高空答复大海：“哪怕是干上一千万年，一亿年，干到宇宙的尽头，世界的末日，我终将把你填平的！The brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest.她衔呀，扔呀，成年累月，往复飞翔，从不停息。
