英语寓言故事欣赏乡村真美。此时正值夏季,田里的小麦都呈现金黄色而燕麦依然青绿。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上,广阔的树林围绕着田野和草地,树林的中央有多处深邃的湖泊,在阳光最充足的地方矗立着一栋老旧的大宅邸。这栋宅邸被一条深长的壕沟所包围,茂盛的叶子从这栋房子干部上的藤蔓往下长,延伸到河水的边缘。其中有一些叶子很大,小孩子可以拿它们来当雨伞。在森林的深处有一只母鸭子坐在她的巢中,她的小鸭子们即将孵出来。终于蛋一个接一个地开始裂了。“吱,吱!”小鸭们叫着。“呱,呱!”母鸭回道。“这个世界好大啊!”小鸭子异口同声道。Thecountrysidewaslovely.Itwassummer.Thewheatwasgoldenandtheoatswerestillgreen.Thehaywasstackedinthelow-lyingmeadows.Therelaygreatwoodsaroundthefieldsandmeadows.Thereweredeeplakesinthemidstofthewoods.Inthesunniestspotstoodanoldmansionsurroundedbyadeepmoat.Greatleavesgrewfromthevinesonthewallsofthehouserightdowntothewater'sedge.Someoftheleavesweresobigthatachildcouldusethemasanumbrella.Inthedepthsofaforestaduckwassittinginhernest.Herlittleducklingswereabouttobehatched.Atlastoneeggafteranotherbegantocrack.Cheep,cheep!theducklingssaid.Quack,quack!saidtheduck.Howbigtheworldis!saidalltheyoungones.但最大的蛋依旧在那儿,于是她又再坐回她的巢中。一只年长的鸭子过来拜访她说:“喂!你近来可好吗?”坐着的母鸭回答说:“这枚蛋花了很长的时间,壳偏偏还不裂开,不过其他的小鸭都是最完美的鸭子,他们很像他们的爸爸。”年长的鸭子说:“让我看看那枚不会裂开的蛋,你或许是坐在一枚火鸡的蛋上!我曾经像那样被骗过一次。不错,那是火鸡的蛋!你最好不要管它,去教其它的小鸭游泳吧。”“我要再多坐一会儿。”Butthebiggesteggwasstillthere.Andthenshesettledherselfonthenestagain.Well,howareyougettingon?saidanoldduckwhocametopayheravisit.Thiseggistakingsuchalongtime,answeredthesittingduck.Theshellwillnotcrack,buttheothersarethefinestducklings.Theyareliketheirfather.letmelookattheeggwhichwon'tcrack,saidtheoldduck.Youmaybesittingonaturkey'segg!Ihavebeencheatedlikethatonce.Yes.it'saturkey'segg!Youhadbetterleaveitaloneandteachtheotherchildrentoswim.Iwillsitonitalittlelonger.终于这枚巨蛋裂开了。这小子可真是又大又丑!她说:“那是一只非常巨大的鸭子,其他的小鸭没有一只看起来像他一样。他会是火鸡的孩子吗?我会尽快查清楚,我将叫他下水去。”隔天这只母鸭带着她的一家人走到壕沟。她跳入水中,“呱,呱,”她说,小鸭们一只接一只地跳进河里。这只又大又丑的鸭子跟着他们一起游来游去,她说:“不是的,那不是火鸡。呱,呱!现在跟我来,我将带你们去参观这个世界,要一直靠近我并小心猫!”第一天过去了,一切都还顺利。Atlastthebigeggcracked.Howbiganduglythebabywas!Thatisaverybigduckling.shesaid,Noneoftheotherslooklikethat.Canhebeaturkey'schick?Iwillsoonfindout.Iwillmakehimgointowater.Thenextdaythemotherduckwithherfamilywentdowntothemoat.Shesaid,andoneducklingjumpedinafteranother.Thebiguglyoneswamaboutwiththem.No,thatisnoturkey,shesaid,Quack,quack!NowcomewithmeandIwilltakeyouintotheworld.Keepclosetomeallthetime.Becarefulofthecat!Thefirstdaypassed,andeverythingwasfine.之后,事情愈来愈糟。这只可怜的小鸭被所有的小鸭追逐和骚扰,因为他长得很丑。大鸭们咬他,母鸡们啄他,而喂食他们的女孩把他踢到旁边去。于是他离家出走,不久就来到一片野鸭住的广阔沼泽。他双疲倦又痛苦,因此他整晚都在那里。早上这群野鸭们飞来看他们的新朋友。这些野鸭说:“你长得非常丑,但那对我们来说无所谓。”他在那里整整待了两天,然后有两只野雁飞过来。就在那个时候,他听到“砰!砰!”的声音,那两只野雁摔落在芦苇丛中死了。对这只可怜的小鸭子来说,那是一项很可怕的冲击。Afterwards,mattersgrewworseandworse.Thepoorducklingwaschasedandharassedbyalltheducklingsbecausehewasveryugly.Theducksbithim,thehenspeckedhim.andthegirlwhofedthemkickedhimaside.Thenheranoffandsooncametoagreatmarshwherethewildduckslived.Hewassotiredandmiserablethathestayedtherethewholenight.Inthemorningthewildducksflewuptoseetheirnewfriend.Youareveryugly,saidthewildducks,butthatdoesnotmattertous.Hestayedtheretwowholedays.Andthentwowildgeesecame.JustatthatmomentthesoundofBang!Bang!washeard,andboththewildgeesefelldeadamongthereeds.Itwasaterribleshocktothepoorduckling.一只巨大的狗出现在他的身边,离他很近。这只狗露出锐利的牙齿,继续往前走,没有碰他。这只小鸭叹息说:“哦,谢谢老天爷!我是这么丑,因此连狗都不会咬我!”晚上他来到一间小屋。这间小屋住着一位老婆婆和她的猫及母鸡。她的视力不好,以为这只小鸭是一只肥鸭。她说:“要是我有了鸭蛋,我就发财了,”因此她留这只小鸭住了3个星期,但他并没有下蛋。这只猫是这间房子的主人,而这只母鸡是女主人。Abigdogappearedclosebesidehim.Heshowedhissharpteethandwentonwithouttouchinghim.Oh,thankHeaven!Iamsouglythateventhedogwon'tbiteme!sighedtheduckling.Intheeveninghereachedalittlecottagewhereanoldwomanlivedwithhercatandherhen.Hereyesightwasnotgood,andshethoughttheducklingwasafatduck.IwillberichifIhaveduckeggs,shesaid.Soshetookintheducklingforthreeweeks,buthelaidnocatwasthemasterofthehouseandthehenwasthemistress.母鸡说:“你能不能下蛋呢?”小鸭回答说:“不能。”这只猫说:“那么你最好离开到外面广阔的世界去。”就这样这只小鸭离开了。有一天晚上,太阳刚刚下山,此时有一群漂亮的大鸟从矮树丛飞出来。小鸭心想:“我从来没有看过这么漂亮的东西。”Canyoulayeggs?askedthehen.No,answeredtheduckling.Thenyouhadbettergooutintothewideworld,saidthecat.Soawaywenttheduckling.Oneeveningthesunwasjustsettingwhenaflockofbeautifullargebirdsappearedoutofthebushes.Theducklingthought,I'veneverseenanythingsobeautiful.他们有长长的脖子,全身是令人眩目的白色。他们是天鹅,他并不知道这些鸟是什么鸟。冬天非常地寒冷刺骨,因此这只小鸭在水中游来游去以免冻僵了。太阳又开始温暖地照耀着,云雀在歌唱,美丽的春天已经来临了。突然这只小鸭举起他的翅膀,而翅膀拍动的力气要比以前大,不知不觉中,他发觉自己已置身在一座巨大的花园里,花园里的苹果树开满了花,紫丁香长长的枝桠垂挂在湖岸边。就在他的面前,他看到三只美丽的白天鹅向他游过来。Theyweredazzlinglywhitewithlongnecks.Theywereswans.Hedidnotknowwhatthebirdswere.Thewinterwassobitterlycoldthattheducklingswamaboutinthewatertokeephimselffromfreezing.Thesunbegantoshinewarmlyagain.Thelarksweresingingandbeautifulspringhadcome.Then,allatonce,theducklingraisedhiswingsandtheyflappedwithmuchgreaterstrengththanbefore.Beforeheknewit,hefoundhimselfinalargegardenwheretheappletreeswereinfullblossomandlongbranchesoflilacsoverhungtheshoresofthelake.Justinfrontofhimhesawthreebeautifulwhiteswansswimmingtowardshim.“我将朝他们飞去而他们将会把我劈成粉碎,因为我长得非常丑。不过没有关系,我宁愿被他们杀死也不愿被那些鸭子咬或是被那些母鸡啄。”因此他飞入水中朝这些天鹅游过去,他们看到他就向他冲过来。“杀死我吧,噢,杀死我吧!”可怜的小鸭说着朝水中低头,等待死亡的来临。但他在清澈的水中看到什么样了呢?IwillflytothemandtheywillhackmetopiecesbecauseIamsougly.Butitdoesn'tmatter.Iwouldratherbekilledbythemthanbebittenbytheducksorpeckedbythehens.Soheflewintothewaterandswamtowardstheswans.Theysa
