英語諺語小故事 一只貓的哲學(xué):
The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cats days were numbered.The doctor had said there wasnt anything more that could be done,that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
The man stroked the Cat on his lap and sighed.The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear rolled down the Mans cheek and landed on the Cats forehead.The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
Why do you cry, Man?the Cat asded.Because you cant bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?The Man nodded yes.
And where do you think Ill be when I leave you?the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. Close your eyes, Man, the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
What color are my eyes and fur? the Cat asked. Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown, the Man replied.
And where is it that you most often see me?asked the Cat. I see youon the kitchen windowsill watching the birdson my favorite chairon my desk lying on the papers I needon the pillow next to my head at night. Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes, said the Cat.
Pick up that piece of string from the floorthere, my toy. The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. Now take each end of the string in one hand, the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together, the Cat said. The Man complied.
You have made a continuous circle, said the cat.Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string? The Man inspected the string and then shook his head no.
Close your eyes again, the Cat said.Now lick your hand. The Man widened his eyes in surprise.
Just do it, the Cat said.Lick your hand,think of me in all my familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.
The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told. He discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop,and when he didnt, he opened his eyes. The Cats eyes were closed.The Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and through his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held clutched in his hand.
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was a lovely calico and whitevery different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.
英語諺語小故事 一只貓的哲學(xué)翻譯:
男人非常傷心。他知道貓余下的日子不多了。醫(yī)生說已經(jīng)沒得治了,他只能把貓帶回家,并盡可能地讓他在剩下的時間里過得舒服些。
男人把貓放在腿上,嘆了口氣。貓睜開眼睛,呼嚕呼嚕地叫著,抬眼看了看男人。一滴眼淚從男人的臉頰邊滑落,落在了貓的額頭上。貓有點(diǎn)不高興地看了他一眼。
你哭個什么啊,伙計?貓問道,因?yàn)槟銦o法承受將要失去我的念頭?因?yàn)槟阏J(rèn)為永遠(yuǎn)都沒有什么能代替我?男人點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭。是啊。
那么你認(rèn)為我離開你以后,會到什么地方去了呢?貓問道。男人無望地聳了聳肩。閉上眼睛吧,伙計,貓說。男人疑惑地看了他一眼,但還是聽話地閉上了眼睛。
我的眼睛和毛皮是什么顏色的?貓問。你的眼睛是金色的,你的毛皮是濃郁而溫暖的褐色的。男人回答道。
那你最常在什么地方見到我呢?貓問。我經(jīng)常見到你在廚房地窗臺上看鳥在我最喜歡的椅子上躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上晚上睡在我腦袋邊的枕頭上。那么,無論什么時候你想見我,你只要閉上你的眼睛就可以了。貓說。
把地上的那段繩子撿起來那里,我的玩具。男人睜開眼睛,伸手撿起了繩子。繩子大約有兩英尺(約0.6米)長,貓?jiān)?jīng)能夠玩著繩子自娛自樂一玩就是幾個小時?,F(xiàn)在用兩只手捏住繩子的兩端。貓命令道。男人照做了。
你左手捏著的那端就是我的出生,而右手的那端就是我的死亡?,F(xiàn)在把兩端連在一起。貓說道。男人又照做了。
你做出了一個連貫的圓圈,貓說,這個繩子上的任意一點(diǎn)同其他點(diǎn)有什么不同嗎?比繩子的其他部分更好或者更差嗎?男人審視著那根繩子,然后搖了搖頭。沒有。
再次閉上你的眼睛,貓說,現(xiàn)在舔舔你的手。男人驚訝地睜大了眼睛。
照我說的做吧,貓說。舔舔你的手,想想我在所有我熟悉的地方,想想所有的繩子。
要舔自己的手,男人覺得很蠢,不過他還是照做了。他發(fā)現(xiàn)了貓所知道的秘密舔爪子能讓你平靜下來,并讓你能夠思考得更加清楚。他繼續(xù)舔著,他的嘴角開始上翹,好多天來第一次露出了微笑。他等待著貓叫停,可是沒等到,于是他睜開了眼睛。貓的眼睛已經(jīng)閉上了。他摸了摸貓溫暖的褐色皮毛,可是貓已經(jīng)去了。
男人用力地閉上了眼睛,淚如泉涌。他看到貓蹲在窗臺上,然后是他的床上,然后躺在他的重要文件上。他看到貓?jiān)谒X袋邊的枕頭上,看到他明亮的金黃色的眼睛還有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛發(fā)。他睜開眼睛,透過淚水看向他依然捏在手里的繩圈。
不久以后的某一天,他的膝上有了一只新的貓咪。她是一只可愛的白色花斑貓與之前那只他深愛的貓是那么的不同,然而又是那么的相同。
故事寓意:
原來很大的道理不一定需要很難的語言去解釋,本文簡單地一問一答告訴我們,當(dāng)身邊的人離去時,他們其實(shí)活在我們的心里;告訴我們,生命原本是一個無所謂開始更無所謂結(jié)束的圓圈;告訴我們,每一段生命的結(jié)束都意味著新生命的開始。只要心中還有愛,有思念,我們就可以笑對生死,珍惜人生。

The rascal5 steals on tip-toe to the tree. He curls his tail, and, gazing earnestly. He speaks so soft, scarce whispering each word:
How beautiful you are, sweet bird! What a neck, and oh! what eyes, Like a dream of Paradise! Then, what feathers! What a beak6! And, sure, an angels voice if only you would speak! Sing, darling; dont be shy! Oh, sister, truth to tell, if you, with charms like these, can sing as well, Of birds youd be the queen adorable! the silly creatures head turns giddy with his praise. Her breath, for very rapture7, swells8 her throat; the foxs soft persuasion9 she obeys. And high as crow can pitch she caws one piercing note.
Down falls the cheese! Both cheese and fox have gone their ways.
How often have they told us, please, and always to no use-that flatterys mean and base. The flatterer in our hearts will always find a place.

心肝寶貝,你長得多么美妙啊!瞧那脖子,瞧那眼睛,美的像個天堂的夢!多好的羽毛,多好的嘴巴,你一開口,一定會有天使的聲音,唱吧!親愛的,別害羞!啊!小妹妹, 說實(shí)話,你這么美麗迷人,要是再唱得悅耳動聽,那你就是令人拜倒的鳥中皇后了!那蠢鳥被贊美地暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向,高興地都要透不過氣來。它聽從了狐貍的柔聲勸誘,盡其所能提高了嗓門,發(fā)出了呱呱的叫聲。
奶酪墜地,狐貍銜起它就沒影了。

8.There was once a blind man who had so fine a sense of touch that, when any animal was put into his hands, he could tell what it was merely by the feel of it.

Plug ones ears while stealing a bell
In the Spring and Autumn period, a thief had stolen a bell and intended to carry it away on his back, but the bell was too bulky and heavy to be carried, so he tried to break it into pieces with a hammer to make it easier for carrying. On his first hit,however, the bell made a loud noise. He thus feared that the ringing sound might be heard by someone, who would come to rob him of his bell. His fright made him plug his own ears, while hitting the bell with the hammer. The bell sound was, nevertheless, audible to others and therefore to stuff his ears for the purpose of stealing a bell was a stupid action it is as foolish as burying ones head in the sand.
