The monkey mother has two little monkeys. She likes the younger, not the other.
猴妈妈生了两个猴子。她喜欢年幼的小猴子而不喜欢年长的大猴子。
One day, they were playing in a forest when a wolf came,running at them. The monkey ran away with the younger monkey in a hurry and left the older alone. She climbed up a tree and held the younger in her arms.
After some time, the wolf went away slowly. The monkey took the baby out of her arms. She was surprised to see that the baby had died, for the baby was held in arms too highly. Very long time later, she remembered to look for the older baby. The older baby was hiding in a wood. So he saved himself.
There are many animals in the forest. Today is a fine day. Animals are having a sport meeting.
森林里有很多动物。今天天气晴朗,小动物要举行运动会。
Monkey, fox, panda, rabbit and bear are running. Look! Rabbit is the first. Fox and monkey are the second. Bear is the third. The other animals are shouting, “Bear! Come on! Bear! Come on!” And look there, duck and Pig are doing high jump. Pig is too fat, he can’t jump very high. So duck is the champion. Here! Cat and squirrel are climbing a tree. Cat is ill. So he is the last, but he does his best.
This sports meeting is wonderful. The animals are very happy!
运动会可真棒,小动物们多开心啊!
Once there were three foxes, they worked together. They lived a happy life.
从前有三只狐狸,他们愉快地工作和居住在一起。
Little by little, the youngest fox became lazy, and often quarreled with the other foxes. The eldest had to leave, and the second fox was driven off, too.
渐渐地,最小的`狐狸变得又懒又坏,经常同其他的两只狐狸争吵,气走了它的大哥和二哥。
Looking at the warm house with a lot of good food in it, the youngest fox smiled.
最小的狐狸得意地住在温暖的房子里享受着丰富的食品。
The eldest fox opened a new hill again. The second eldest fox dug a pool. Two of them because rich soon. The youngest fox ate up the food left by the other two foxes. In the end, it felt so cold and hungry that it could not stand up.
Two birdsTeacher: Here are two birds, one is a swallow, the other is sparrow. Now who can tell us which is which? Student: I cannot point out but I know the answer. Teacher: Please tell us. Student: The swallow is beside the sparrow and the sparrow is beside the swallow.
The rabbit long four legs, bouncing jump, run can fast. The tortoise also grew four legs, creep and creep up really slow. One day, the rabbit run into the tortoise, smiling and said: "the tortoise, tortoise, let's race, good?" The tortoise know rabbit in play jokes on him, stare small eyes, ignore also not to trample. The rabbit know turtles dare not to his race, joy set ears straight, but also made a jump folk songs joke he: the tortoise, tortoise, PaPa, early in the morning; their flower-gathering out The tortoise, tortoise, walk, evening also at the mouth.

The rabbit wakes up off after a look, alas, tortoise how gone? Go see, oh, not anyone! The tortoise has climbed to a tree. The rabbit see and nasty, hurried to catch up with can be late already, the tortoise has won. The tortoise victory.您可以参考一下
The bird whispererSteve Nichols has a way with birds.The founder of the UK's National Parrot Sanctuary connects with them in a way few people can understand.Strolling through the centre at Friskney, in Lincolnshire, he can individually name most of the 414 parrots under his care.And like a horse whisperer who can "break" troublesome equines, Mr Nichols has the ability to bond with the worst behaved birds.He says: "I have got a natural affinity with parrots... they actually relate to me.""When a wild creature will jump off the tree and come walking over to you, and when it has been someone's bad pet, then I think I just feel so special."The majority of birds at the sanctuary are "problem pets" which overwhelmed their owners.Mr Nichols said increasing numbers of owners were finding their parrots too much to handle and were surrendering them to the sanctuary.At the current rate, he expects the sanctuary's stock to go up to more than 1,000 birds within two years.The influx can be put down to the rising number of parrots being imported into the UK and the fact that the animals get more difficult to manage as they get older.It is noise and aggression which usually drives most people to give up their birds.When BBC News Online visited the sanctuary, one woman phoned Mr Nichols about giving away her bird after owning it for just nine days - despite paying £900 for it.The bird had started attacking family members.Mr Nichols says: "Most people just don't realize what they are getting themselves into when they buy parrots.... they are still wild animals and can be very difficult.Mr Nichols changes his mobile phone ring tone every couple of days to stop his parrots mimicking it."It's not like dogs which are domesticated and have been living with humans for thousands of years."史蒂夫·尼科尔斯是养鸟高手。这位英国国家鹦鹉保护区的创始人用很少有人能够理解的方式来和鸟儿沟通。漫步在林肯郡Friskney的保护区,他能够逐一叫出大多数在他照看下的鹦鹉的名字,共414只。就像马语者能够驯服倔强的烈马一样,尼科尔斯先生能够和最不规矩的鸟儿做朋友。他说:“我对鹦鹉有一种天生的吸引力,他们确实和我很有默契。”“当一只野鹦鹉从树上跳下来走向你,当它曾是某人顽皮的宠物时,我想我就会感到很特别。”动物保护区内大部分的鸟都是“问题宠物”,它们让主人无计可施。尼科尔斯先生说越来越多的主人发现他们管不住自己的鹦鹉,所以他们只能将鹦鹉送到保护区来。以目前的增长速度,他预计在两年之内保护区收容的鸟将超过1000只。大量的鹦鹉涌入保护区是因为从国外进口到英国的鹦鹉不断增多,而且鸟儿年纪越大越难养。鸟类发出的噪声和它们对人类的攻击往往使大多数人放弃养鸟。当英国广播电台在线新闻采访鹦鹉保护区的时候,有一名妇女给尼科尔斯先生打电话,准备放弃她养了仅仅九天的鸟--尽管她为这只鸟花了900英镑。这只鸟已经开始攻击她的家人。尼科尔斯先生说:“大多数买鹦鹉的时候根本没有意识他们将陷入怎样的境地……鹦鹉仍然是野生动物,它们很难伺候的。”尼科尔斯先生每隔几天就更换一次手机铃声,防止他的鹦鹉们模仿铃声。“鹦鹉不像狗那样容易驯养,狗已经和人类一起生活几千年了。”最近几个星期,尼科尔斯先生把他的保护区向公众开放,收取门票,主要是希望能够为他不断扩大的业务筹集资金。他还向遇到困难的主人们提供24小时热线电话服务。“保护区里的鸟越多,花费就越大。”“所以我们想到这个主意:如果我们告诉人们我们所做的事,他们通过出钱参观保护区做一点贡献,我们就有希望保障鹦鹉的寿命了。”In recent weeks, Mr Nichols has opened his sanctuary to paying customers, mainly in the hope of raising money for his expanding operation, which also includes a 24-hour helpline for worried owners."As more birds come into the sanctuary the more it is going to cost."So we came up with the idea that if we show people what we do, and they contribute by paying to come in, hopefully we can secure the longevity of the parrots."
编者按:《调皮的猴子》是一篇英语动物小 故事 带翻译,讲述的是大热天里面有一只小蚊子飞来飞去,老人家养的一只猴子看到之后追赶蚊子的事情。It’s very hot. An old man is asleep on the chair. A fly comes and sits on the end of the man’s nose. The old man has a naughty monkey. He chases the fly. The fly comes back again and sits on the old man’s nose again. The monkey chases it away again and again. This happens five or six times. The monkey is very angry. He jumps up, runs to the garden and picks up a large stone. When the fly sits on the old man’s nose again, the monkey hits it hard with the stone. He kills the fly and breaks the old man’s nose. fly[flaɪ]:苍蝇,飞,拉链 naughty['nɔti]:淘气的 chase[tʃeɪs]:追逐 天气非常热,一个老人躺在椅子上睡着了。一只苍蝇飞了过来,停在老人的鼻子上。老人养了一只调皮的猴子,猴子看到以后就去追赶苍蝇。没过多久,苍蝇又飞回来了,再一次落在老人的鼻子上。猴子又继续去追,如此循环往复,大概五六次。猴子生气了,他跳了起来,跑到花园里捡了一块大石子,当苍蝇再次落在老人的鼻子上时,猴子拿起石子狠狠地砸了过去,这一次,他终于消灭了苍蝇,但也弄折了老人的鼻子。 公众号: 英语故事 课堂 本文为原创 文章 ,版权归作者所有,未经授权不得转载!
