内容概要

《伊索寓言》是世界上最古老、最伟大的寓言故事集，被誉为西方寓言的始祖，主要是由古希腊人伊索创作和收集整理而成。它对人类文化影响深远，堪称人类文明史上的一座丰碑。在西方人眼中，它的重要性甚至被认为仅次于《圣经》。“龟兔赛跑”、“狼来了”、“农户和蛇”、“吃不到葡萄就说葡萄酸”和“乌鸦喝水”等脍炙人口的故事伴随了一代又一代人的美丽童年、少年直至成年。无论作为语言学习的课本，还是作为通俗的文学读本，对当代中国的青少年学生都将产生积极的影响。为了使读者能够了解英文故事概况，进而提高阅读速度和阅读水平，在每篇英文传说故事的开始部分增加了中文导读。

章节摘录

　　1．驴和它的主人　　The Ass and His Masters　　有头驴给草药贩子干活，觉得很苦，就请求朱庇特给它换主人。朱庇特把它换给制瓦工，驴觉得更苦了。最后朱庇特就让驴到皮匠那里，驴想到皮匠会剥了它的皮，更后悔了。　　n Ass， belonging to an herb-seller who gave him too little food and too much work made a petition to Jupiter to be released from his present service and provided with another master. Jupiter， after warning him that he would repent his request， caused him to be sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards， finding that he had heavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field， he petitioned for another change of master. Jupiter， telling him that it would be the last time that he could grant his request， ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he had fallen into worse hands， and noting his masters occupation， said， groaning： "It would have been better for me to have been either starved by the one， or to have been overworked by the other of my former masters， than to have been bought by my present owner， who will even after I am dead tan my hide， and make me useful to him."　　He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.　　2．驴 和 青 蛙　　The Ass and the Frogs　　驴驮着木料，不小心摔倒在池塘里，就大声叫起来。青蛙听见了，对驴说，在池塘里摔了一跤，没什么大不了的。　　n Ass， carrying a load of wood， passed through a pond. As he was crossing through the water he lost his footing， stumbled and fell， and not being able to rise on account of his load， groaned heavily. Some Frogs frequenting the pool heard his lamentation， and said， "What would you do if you had to live here always as we do， when you make such a fuss about a mere fall into the water?"　　Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.　　3．驴和它的影子　　The Ass and His Shadow　　一个人雇了一头驴出远门。天气酷热，这个人和驴的主人都想在驴的影子下休息，可驴的影子太小，结果两人争吵起来。驴就趁机跑掉了。　　Traveler hired an Ass to convey him to a distant place. The day being intensely hot， and the sun shining in its strength， the Traveler stopped to rest， and sought shelter from the heat under the Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one， and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it， a violent dispute arose between them as to which of them had the right to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let the Ass only， and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had， with the hire of the Ass， hired his Shadow also. The quarrel proceeded from words to blows， and while the men fought， the Ass galloped off.　　In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.　　4．驴 和 买 主　　The Ass and His Purchaser　　一个人在买驴前，先把它牵回家试试。结果发现这只驴喜欢他家里一只好吃懒做的驴，于是他断定这只驴也是好吃懒做的类型，就不买了。　　Man wished to purchase an Ass， and agreed with its owner that he should try out the animal before he bought him. He took the Ass home and put him in the straw-yard with his other Asses， upon which the new animal left all the others and at once joined the one that was most idle and the greatest eater of them all.　　Seeing this， the man put a halter on him and led him back to his owner. On being asked how， in so short a time， he could have made a trial of him， he answered， "I do not need a trial； I know that he will be just the same as the one he chose for his companion."　　A man is known by the company he keeps.　　5．驴和赶驴人　　The Ass and His Driver　　赶驴人赶着驴走在山路上。驴突然往悬崖跑去，赶驴人及时抓住它的尾巴，但驴不断地挣扎，结果掉下去摔死了。　　n Ass， being driven along a high road， suddenly started off and bolted to the brink of a deep precipice. While he was in the act of throwing himself over， his owner seized him by the tail， endeavoring to pull him back. When the Ass persisted in his effort， the man let him go and said， "Conquer， but conquer to your cost."　　A willful beast must go his own way.　　6．驴 和 战 马　　The Ass and the Charger　　主人精心照顾战马，给战马吃最好的食物，驴很羡慕。后来战争爆发，战马战死在沙场，驴又同情起战马来。　　n Ass congratulated a Horse on being so ungrudgingly and carefully provided for， while he himself had scarcely enough to eat and not even that without hard work. But when war broke out， a heavily armed soldier mounted the Horse， and riding him to the charge， rushed into the very midst of the enemy. The Horse was wounded and fell dead on the battlefield. Then the Ass， seeing all these things， changed his mind， and commiserated the Horse.　　7．驴 和 蚱 蜢　　The Ass and the Grasshopper　　蚱蜢唱歌很好听，驴很羡慕。驴听说蚱蜢是因为每天喝露水，所以声音才这么好，于是驴决定每天也只喝露水，结果饿死了。　　n Ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping， was highly enchanted； and， desiring to possess the same charms of melody， demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied， "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew， and in a short time died of hunger.　　Even a fool is wise — when it is too late！　　8．驴和哈巴狗　　The Ass and the Lapdog　　一个人有一只驴和一只哈巴狗。那人和哈巴狗很亲热，还经常给狗好吃的。驴很羡慕。一天，驴跑进主人屋里，做和哈巴狗一样的动作，结果不仅把屋子弄得一团糟，还被仆人打得半死。　　Man had an Ass， and a Maltese Lapdog， a very great beauty. The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat， just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master， who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat.　　The Ass， on the contrary， had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog， till at last one day he broke his cords and halter， and galloped into his masters house， kicking up his heels without measure， and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do， but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master， and jumped upon his back.　　The servants， hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master， quickly relieved him， and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass， as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death， thus lamented： "I have brought it all on myself！ Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions， and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog！"　　To be satisfied with ones lot is better than to desire something which one is not fitted to receive.　　9．驴 和 骡 子　　The Ass and the Mule　　一头驴和一头骡子被赶着上路。上山时，驴请求骡子帮它，骡子不肯，结果驴不堪重负，在半路上摔死了。主人就把驴驮的货物和驴的皮全放在骡子身上，骡子很后悔没帮驴子的忙。　　Muleteer set forth on a journey， driving before him an Ass and a Mule， both well laden. The Ass， as long as he traveled along the plain， carried his load with ease， but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain， felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion， that he might carry home the rest； but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region， the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own， and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass， after he had skinned him. The Mule， groaning beneath his heavy burden， said to himself： "I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need， I should not now be bearing， together with his burden， himself as well."　　An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.　　Aesops Fables　　The Ass and His Masters　　10　　9　　The Ass and His Shadow　　The Ass and His Driver　　The Ass and the Grasshopper　　The Ass and the Lapdog　　The Asss Brains　　The Dog and the Wolf

•   封皮、印刷、纸张都不错，字号、行间距也都看着很舒服，不象有些英文书密密麻麻费眼睛～～这种封皮不容易脏，排版比较疏朗，喜欢写批注和心得的人大有可写之地！对每个故事，是一段中译文，一段英文。我原来以为是只有书的前言什么的“导读”部分是中文，编者说说背景啥的，正文就都是英文了呢。和我想象的不一样。不过也好，那么动物的名字省得查字典了，呵呵
•   很喜欢，英文版的，可以给孩子看。
•   书的质量很好，每篇之前有导读也不错，每天睡觉之前看上几篇，读上几遍！
•   要学习英语就要从启蒙读物开始，圣经和伊索寓言都是不错的。而这本的写法在国内首推。通过背景介绍，使得读者能知道背景，而又不会被翻译的文章所束缚，是一本质量和编辑都不错的好书
•   系列的书，开卷有益
•   很经典的书，英文学英语。。
•   书的质量很好，特别是英文部分是我最喜欢的。
•   需要提高英语的中级水平的同学可以看
•   速度比较快，书也相当好
•   这本书对于初学英语的人来说，很不错的，可以多看看，非常好！
•   纸质，包装，印刷一流棒，所以很适合收藏或送人。不过相对价格来说，内容就少了一点。
•   提高英语的很不错的书
•   书不错哦，很合我心
•   感觉很不错呢，挺棒的。封面好看。
•   不是直译。版本不错，纸经挺括。
•   老师要求的，女儿在读。
•   符合老师要求购买的版本
•   在书店看到了，觉得导读很简明扼要，合我的胃口
•   老师推选买，故事很有趣
•   难度适中，内容有趣，就是有些故事似乎有重复的嫌疑，不过总体不错。
•   书的质量还不错，但就是每页内容太少
•   中文对照太简单，只是写了主要意思，不要我想要的
•   翻译的很潦草，连英文拥有的对话都没有翻译。
•   一、开本与价格书的开本很大，定价也因此很高。可是每页的实际内容只占不到二分之一。你买这本书就等于花高价买白纸。当然，如果你喜欢在一页纸上只读一个故事的话，这个版适合你。有一个与此版本英文完全一致的另一本书（我仔细对照了两篇，除了导读，其它一字不差），开本可能只有这个一半，价格则不到其三分之一（12元)。这个版本是世界图书出版公司2009年5月出的，请参考：http://www.amazon.cn/mn/detailApp?prodid=zjbk9027tk&source=baidubkzjbk9027tksk0二、内容英文的版本估计也会有很多，不知道作者是如何选择的。还不如我在网上找到的版本，更像现代英语。这个版本不适合学生阅读。
•   清华出版社简直是骗子，内容很少，边框太大，觉得就是在骗钱，就像前一位评价的，等于花高价买白纸。以后拒绝买这个出版社的书。
