　　狐狸和乌鸦的英语作文

　　原文:

　　A crow had snatched a goodly piece of cheese out of a window, and flew with it into a high tree, intent on enjoying her prize. A fox spied the dainty morsel, and thus he planned his approaches, "Oh, crow, "said he, "how beautiful are thy wings ! how bright thine eye! How graceful thy neck! Thy breast is the breast of an eagle ! thy claws-I beg pardon-thy talons, are a match for all the beasts for the field, oh, that such a bird should be dumb, and want only a voice."the crow, pleased with the flattery, and chuckling to think how she would surprise the fox with her caw, opened her mouth. Down dropped the cheese! Snapping it up, the fox observed, as he walked away, that whatever he had remarked of her beauty, he had said nothing yet of her brains.

　　Men seldom flatter without some private end in view, and they who listen to such music may expect to have to pay the piper.

　　译文:

　　一只乌鸦从一个窗户里叼出了一快相当大的干酪,飞上了一棵高数,一心想享享口福,吃掉她夺来的这快东西,一只狐狸发现了这块美味的食物,就计划去接近她,"哦,乌鸦"他说,"你的翅膀多么漂亮啊!你的.眼睛多么明亮啊,你的脖子多么娇美!你的胸脯和鹰一样!你的爪子,请原谅我,你的铁爪足以和所有的野兽对抗,哦,多么可惜,这样一只鸟竟是一只哑巴,只缺少一副喉咙了!"乌鸦听了这甜言蜜语,心理很高兴,他得意地心里想,如果我哇哇地叫起来将使狐狸感到多么惊奇,于是他就张开了嘴。干酪拍地掉下去了!狐狸叼起干酪,一边走开,一边批评地说,不论他怎么吹嘘她的美貌,可是他还没谈论他的智慧。

　　谄媚人的人很少是没有自私打算的,而倾听这种音乐的人则势必要出钱。

　　美国佛罗里达州一名9岁的小男孩，在湖中游泳时，遭到一条长9英尺(约2.7米长)、重400磅(约180多公斤)的短吻鳄袭击，赤手与其搏斗之后，小男孩身上多处受伤，目前正在医院治疗中。医生从他背部的伤口里取出一颗短吻鳄的牙齿，小男孩表示想把它做成项链。

　　James Barney Jr, spoke calmly and eloquently about his ordeal from hospital, where he was tucked up in bed with a teddy bear by his side. He was covered in some 30 teeth marks, doctors said.

　　'I reached down to grab it, and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth, and I didn't know what to do, so I immediately reacted and hit it a couple times. And I had enough strength to pry its jaw open.' The child pulled the powerful jaws open long enough to slide out and swim to shore.

　　“我潜入水中抓住了它，摸到了它的下巴，摸到了它的牙齿，可不知道该怎么做，不过我立刻就反应过来了赶紧猛打了它几下，并使劲撑开了它的嘴巴。”小詹姆斯把它的嘴巴撑得足够大后赶紧退后并向岸边游去。
