英語(yǔ)是世界上通用的語(yǔ)言,而英語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)是很枯燥的,想要學(xué)好英語(yǔ)不妨先從閱讀英語(yǔ)故事開(kāi)始。

從英文故事中學(xué)習(xí),提高英文水平。從故事中學(xué)習(xí),學(xué)到人生的哲理。

今天為大家推薦的英語(yǔ)故事是:鷹和箭

An eagle was flying in the sky. As soon as it saw a rabbit, it swooped down on its prey.

鷹在天空中飛翔,當(dāng)他看見(jiàn)一只野兔時(shí),就俯沖下來(lái)捕捉獵物。

Suddenly it was hit by an arrow.

突然,有人一箭射中了它。

It fluttered slowly down to the earth, and blood was pouring from the wound.

鷹扇著翅膀降落在地面上。鮮血從傷口中噴涌而出。

When the eagle looked down, he found that the shaft of the arrow was feathered with one of its own plumes.“Alas!”it cried.“We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”

它低頭看到箭尾竟是由一根它自己的羽毛制成的,就痛苦地說(shuō):“唉,我們總是給敵人提供毀滅我們自己的工具!”
