初中优秀英语故事：兔死狐悲

Once, a fox and a hare became friends with the purpose of defending themselves against theirjoint enemy, the hunters, and made an oath to each other: to the same life and death, through thick and thin. One day, they were enjoying the natural beauty together in the fields when a party of hunters came and shot the hare dead. The fox had a narrow escape. After the hunters had gone, the fox came and wept over the death of his mate.

An elderly gentleman who happened to pass by was surprised at the scene. Curiously, he asked the fox the reason of her bitter weeping.

The fox sorrowfully replied: "We are small animals. Being the prey of hunters, we had planned to defend ourselves against our joint enemy, the hunters, and promised to share life and death through thick and thin. Now our enemy has killed my companion. His death may mean the death of me tomorrow. We are real friends and real friends must share everything. How could I not help weeping!"

"Oh, I see. You have good reasons to weep over the death of such a partner," exclaimed the elderly gentleman.

The idiom, "The fox is sad at the death of the hare," comes from the story above, illustratinghow one feels sad for the death or misfortunes of his companions.

从前，一只兔子和一只狐狸为对付共同的敌人——猎人，彼此联盟发誓：要同生死，共患难。一天，他们正在田野里享受大自然的美景，不料一群猎人突然前来，一箭就射死了兔子，狐狸也险遭不测。猎人走后，狐狸就跑到兔子身旁，哀泣悲悼。

有个长者经过，看见狐狸在兔子旁边哭泣，觉得奇怪，就问狐狸哭泣的原因。

狐狸悲哀地说：“我和兔子同样是微小的动物，是猎人捕猎的对象。我们相约共同对敌，共生死，同患难。现在我的同盟被猎人射死，他今日的死亡，意味着我明天的死亡。我们是真正的朋友，我哪能不伤心哭泣呢!”

成语“兔死狐悲”就源自这个故事，表示因同类的死亡或不幸而感到悲伤。

初中优秀英语故事：The cat and mice 猫和老鼠

There was once a house that was overrun with mice. A cat heard of this, and said to herself, "That's the place for me," and off she went and took up her quarters in the house, and caught the mice one by one and ate them. At last the mice could stand it no longer, and theydetermined to take to their holes and stay there. "That's awkward," said the cat to herself: "the only thing to do is to coax them out by a trick." So she considered a while, and then climbed up the wall and let herself hang down by her hind legs from a peg, and pretended to be dead. By and by a mouse peeped out and saw the cat hanging there. "Aha!" it cried, "you're very clever, madam, no doubt: but you may turn yourself into a bag of meal hanging there, if you like, yet you won't catch us coming anywhere near you."

If you are wise you won't be deceived by the innocent airs of those whom you have once found to be dangerous.

从前，有一座房子，里面的老鼠泛滥成灾。一只猫听到此事，便自言自语的说：“那正是我要去的地方。”于是她走到那座房子里住下了，一只接一只地抓老鼠，然后吃掉他们，最好，老鼠们再也无法忍受下去，决定躲到自己的洞里，再也不出来，“这还真不好办了，”猫自言自语道，“若想骗它们出来，只能耍个花招了。”她琢磨了一会儿，然后爬上墙，用后腿钩住木桩倒挂下来，假装已经死了。过了一会儿，一只老鼠向外窥探，看到了挂在那里的猫。“啊哈!”老鼠大叫，“夫人，你还真聪明，不过，就算你假装成一袋食粮挂在那里，你也骗不了我们去接近你。”

如果有足够的智慧，面对那些曾认定的危险人物所假装出来的无辜，你也不会上当受骗。

初中优秀英语故事：The clever rabbit 聪明的兔子

The wolf and the fox want to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.

One day the wolf says to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you aredead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," says the fox.

The fox goes home at once. The wolf goes to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door. "Who is it?" asks the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf goes away.

The rabbit goes to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and sees the fox lyingin bed with his eyes closed. He thinks, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox hears this, he thinks, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.

The rabbit knows that the fox isn't dead, and he rans away quickly.

狼和狐狸想要吃掉兔子，但是这只兔子太难抓到了。

一天，狼对狐狸说：“你回家假装躺在床上。我去告诉兔子你已经死了。当他来看你的时候，你就可以跳起来抓住他了。”“真是个好主意!”狐狸说。

于是他立刻回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲门，“是谁啊?”兔子问道。“狼，我是来告诉你狐狸已经死了。”说完狼就走开了。

兔子去狐狸家看情况。他通过狐狸家的窗户看到闭着眼睛的狐狸躺在床上。他想，狐狸是真的死了，还是在假装呢?如果他没有死，那么我走近他就会被他抓住。于是他说：“狼说狐狸死了。但是他看起来并不像死掉了呀。死去的狐狸通常都是张着嘴的。”狐狸听到这些话就想：我得证明自己是真的死了。于是他张开了嘴巴。

这时兔子知道狐狸并没有死，他就以最快的速度跑开啦。
