【篇一】
A Woodman came into a forest to ask the Trees to give him a handle for Ax. It seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once agreed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain, homely Ash should furnish what was wanted.
No sooner had the Woodman fitted the staff to his purpose ,then he began laying about him on all side.Felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the Cedar: "the first concession has lost all ;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves."

樵夫剛按好斧柄，就開(kāi)始到處亂砍，森林里的樹都砍倒了，樹林現(xiàn)在察覺(jué)大勢(shì)已去，就小聲對(duì)衫樹說(shuō)："第一次的讓步已失去了一切，如果我們不犧牲我們的小小的鄰居，我們自己還可以活無(wú)數(shù)年呢。"

【篇二】
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth.
有一天,一只烏鴉站在窩旁的樹枝上嘴里叼著一片肉，心里非常高興。
At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat.
這時(shí)候，一只狐貍看見(jiàn)了烏鴉，饞得直流口水，非常想得到那片肉。
However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent.
但是，無(wú)論狐貍說(shuō)什么，烏鴉就是不理睬狐貍。
Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing.
最后，狐貍贊美烏鴉的嗓音美，并要求烏鴉唱幾句讓他欣賞欣賞。烏鴉聽(tīng)了狐貍贊美的話，得意極了，就唱起歌來(lái)。
As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.
沒(méi)想到，肉一掉下來(lái)，狐貍就叼起肉，鉆回了洞
