饭店经理立即回答：
亲爱的主席先生，我一直在跑这家酒店多年。在那段期间内，我从来没有过的狗偷毛巾，床单衣服或金银制品或图片小康墙壁。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鸽子口渴得很难受,看见画板上画着一个水瓶,以为是真的.他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去,不料一头碰撞在画板上,折断了翅膀,摔在地上,被人轻易地捉住了.
这是说,有些人想急于得到所需的东西,一时冲动,草率从事,就会身遭不幸.
The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛.他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡,羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕.于是,他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛,来到江湖边.他天天洗刷自己的羽毛,不但一 点都没洗白,反而因缺少食物饥饿而死.
这故事是说,人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变.
The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里.有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西,单独落在后面.牧羊 人拿起一块石头扔了过去,正巧打断了山羊的一只角.牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人, 山羊说：“即使我不说,又怎能隐瞒下去呢?我的角已断了,这是十分明显的事实.”
这故事说明,明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的.
The Miser守财奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产,换回了金块,并秘密地埋在一个地方.他每天走去看 看他的宝藏.有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察,知道了真情,趁他走后,挖出金块拿走了. 守财奴再来时,发现洞中的金块没有了,便捶胸痛哭.有个人见他如此悲痛,问明原因后, 说道：“喂,朋友,别再难过了,那块金子虽是你买来的,但并不是你真正拥有的.去拿一 块石头来,代替金块放在洞里,只要你心里想着那是块金子,你就会很高兴.这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同.依我之见,你拥有那金块时,也从没用过.”
这故事说明,一切财物如不使用等于没有.
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一只小羊在河边喝水,狼见到后,便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他.于是他跑到上游,恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了,使他喝不到清水.小羊回答说,他仅仅站在河边喝水,并且又在下游,根本不可能把上游的水搅浑.狼见此计不成,又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过.”小羊说,那时他还没有出生.狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解,反正我不会放过 你.”
这说明,对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的.
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上,被黄鼠狼叼去,他请求饶命.黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他,自己生来痛恨鸟类.蝙蝠说他是老鼠,不是鸟,便被放了.后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来,被另一只黄鼠狼叼住,他再三请求不要吃他.这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类.蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类,并非老 鼠,又被放了.这样,蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字,终于死里逃生.
这故事说明,我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险.
The Ass and the Grasshopper 驴子与蚱蜢
AN 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.
驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌,被美妙动听的歌声所打动,自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音,便 羡慕地问他们吃些什么,才能发出如此美妙的声音来.蚱蜢答道：“吃露水.”驴子便也只吃露水,没多久就饿死了.
这个故事告诉人们不要企望非份之物.
The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
狮子睡着了,有只老鼠跳到了他身上.狮子猛然站起来,把他抓住,准备吃掉.老鼠请求饶命,并说如果保住性命,必将报恩,狮子轻蔑地笑了笑,便把他放走了.不久,狮子真的被老鼠救了性命.原来狮子被一个猎人抓获,并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上.老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎,走过去咬断绳索,放走了狮子,并说：
“你当时嘲笑我,不相信能得到我的报答, 现在可清楚了,老鼠也能报恩.” 这故事说明,时运交替变更,强者也会有需要弱者的时候.

[典故+习语]--读典故学英语,够有趣--开张大吉篇
PIE IN THE SKY
中国人常说“天上不会掉馅饼”,美国也有类似的说法--pie in the sky,形容不可能实现的事情.下次如果有人跟你说“如果我有500万的话.”,你就可以说,“forget it, it's a pie in the sky”.
此短语直译为『天国（上）的馅饼』,源自美国流行作曲家、世界产业工人联盟的组织者 Joe Hill 于 1911年所作的一首着名歌曲《传教士与奴隶》.他在歌中写道：
You will eat, bye and bye,
In the glorious land above the sky!
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get PIE IN THE SKY when you die!
这几句歌词是 Joe Hill 从美国救世军军歌中引用过来的,意在讽刺这个宗教组织,揭露其欺骗性和虚伪性,唤醒广大被压迫的奴隶.后来人们就用 pie in the sky 比喻『渺茫的希望』和『不能保证实现的允诺』等意思.
好,这次大家就翻译一下上面那两句歌词吧
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
不久你将在天上的圣地就餐.劳动吧!祈祷吧!靠干草过活吧!死后你就会得到天国的馅饼!

今天我们学习的是个很常见的习语 RAIN CATS AND DOGS
可能你已经知道了rain cats and dogs 的含意为『下倾盆大雨』,但你知道这个短语是怎样衍生而来的吗?下雨就下雨,怎可能从天上掉下来猫和狗呢?下雨同猫及狗又是怎样扯上关系的呢?原来,据说这个短语最早出现于17世纪,不过关于它的起源已经无从考证.但是现在人们普遍认为,它的起源可能同17世纪使用的地下排水系统有关,当时人们使用的排水系统非常简陋,排水能力极其有限.一旦下起暴雨,地下排水沟里的污水便四处横流.随着污水流出来的不仅有垃圾,各种污秽物,有时甚至还有死猫死狗之类的小动物死尸随污水蔓延出来.如此狗和猫便与瓢泼大雨扯上了关系,人们也据此杜撰了 rain cats and dogs 这一短语.由此可以看出,rain cats and dogs 并不是指天上真的掉下猫和狗（要真是如此,还不让那些喜欢猫和狗的西方人笑歪了鼻子乐歪了嘴?）,而是由于大雨引起地下排水不畅,结果阴沟里的死猫死狗便随污水漂浮到地面.
另外,也有人认为,这个短语可能起源于这样的事实：每当下起暴风雨,风大雨急,看上去就好像是猫和狗在打架.还有人认为它来自北欧神话传说,在北欧,人们都认为猫影响天气的变化,而狗则代表风,所以一旦下起暴雨,猫和狗自然脱不了干系（不过我们还是有点替阿猫阿狗们叫屈!不是吗?^-^）.
另外再列举一些与阿猫阿狗有关系的词组吧,比如：cat and dog production 指多规格生产,杂乱生产
[典故+习语]--读典故学英语,够有趣--(3)继续狗的话题
A DOG IN THE MANGER
因为文化传统的关系,狗在英语语言中都被当作忠实、可爱、聪敏的象征,因此与之有关的短语也大多为褒义之词,但 a dog in the manger 则属例外.从字面来看,A dog in the manger 是指『马厩里的狗』,大家可能觉得奇怪了,狗怎么跑到马厩里去了呢?要解释清楚这个短语的实际含义,还得追根溯源.
这个短语最早出现于《伊索预言》,故事的梗概是：一匹马和一条牛正在马厩里吃草.这时,一条狗闯进来了,它十分霸道地要马和牛都走开.马和牛十分温和地对它说：可是你是不吃草的呀!这条狗却蛮不讲理地说：我是不吃草,可是我不吃的东西也不能让你们白吃!这样,这条狗霸占了盛满稻草的马槽,却赶走了以草为生的马和牛.而它自己呢,也只能看着稻草而不能吃.
《美国韦氏大词典》将其解释为：The dog who would not allow a horse or ox to eat the hay in a manger, even though he himself did not want it. 并且在这一基本意义的基础上又将该片语引申为：A person who selfishly withholds from others something that he himself can not use or does not need.
讲到这里,大家可能已经想到了汉语中的一个俗语：『占着茅坑不拉屎』,两者在语意上倒也确实十分贴近.根据具体的语境,这个短语还可以理解为『自私自利的人』,『一毛不拔的人』等.例如：
Don't be such a dog in the manger. Lend your bicycle to him since you will not go out this afternoon.
还记得上一期带有阿狗的其他谚语和习语吗,我来考察一下大家记住了没
If you want a pretence to whip a dog, say that he ate up the frying-pan.
let sleeping dogs lie.
Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings.
1 别这么不够朋友.既然你今天下午不出去就把自行车借给他用一用.
2 欲加之罪, 何患无辞
3 别多事, 别惹麻烦.
4 急不暇择, 饥不择食.
[典故+习语]--读典故学英语,够有趣--(4)今天换鸽子了
STOOL PIGEON
stool pigeon 这个短语到底是什么意思呢?既然 stool 可作『凳子』或『粪便』解,那么 stool pigeon 是否是指停留在雕像上拉屎的鸽子?抑或和家具有什么联系呢?
其实,stool 在这个短语中根本就没有『家具』或『粪便』的意思,实际上它是 stale 或 stall 的变体,意为『引诱,诱骗』.例如英国著名的剧作家和诗人莎士比亚的名著《暴风雨》中有这样一句话：
"The trumpery in my house goe bring it hither for stale to catch these theeves."
（大意：把房间里那些中看不重用的东西作为诱饵,目的是为了抓住这群贼骨头.）
stool pigeon 来源于法语 estale 或 estal,意指用来诱捕老鹰的鸽子.而这一法语单词又是从德语 stall 衍生而来的,意为『栅栏』或『固定的位置』.据此可以推断,stool pigeon 是指『（抓捕犯人的）密探』,当然现在它也有『告密者』之意.
Pigeon English
[perhaps a corruption of business English], an extraordinary and grotesque dialect, employed in the commercial cities of China, as the medium of communication between foreign merchants and the Chinese. Its base is English, with a mixture of Portuguese and Hindoostanee. --Johnson's Cyc
pigeon 在slang中有容易上当受骗的意思,另外,还有特别关心的事务或者是人
比如：Football is not his pigeon 他不怎么喜欢踢足球.
a pigeon pair 一男一女的双胞胎.
另外,put/set the cat among the pigeons 的意思是招惹麻烦
在医学上,一些和这个词有关系的一些词汇如下

TO TEACH A FISH HOW TO SWIM
你有听说过不会游泳的鱼吗?你有听说过鱼因不会游泳而被淹死的事吗?如果谁有这样的担忧,我想和那个被人嘲笑了几百年的担心天会塌下来的杞国人就没有什么差别了,必定会成为人们茶余饭后的笑料.
作为一种本能,鱼儿天生就是会游泳的,完全适应水底生活,如果有人想教鱼儿how to swim,这和在鲁班门前卖弄使斧头的功夫,在孔老夫子面前卖弄写文章的本领又有什么差异呢?
因此,to teach a fish how to swim 的含义就是〖班门弄斧〗,〖在孔夫子面前卖文章〗.英语中类似的表达还有：teach a dog to chase rabbits; show the President where the White House is; teach the Pope how to pray; use Chinese maxims in front of Confucius.
下面是另外几个关于fish的词组,看看你是否全部都知道呢,如果你还知道其他的,别忘了与大家分享哦.另外也别忘了造个句子巩固一下今天学的哦
fish in troubled waters
fish or cut bait

[典故+习语]--读典故学英语,够有趣--(5)今天说蚂蚁
ANTS IN ONE'S PANTS
如果仅从字面上看,这个短语即指『裤子里的蚂蚁』.蚂蚁怎么爬到裤子里去了呢,裤子里有蚂蚁又会是怎样的一种感觉呢?大家还是迷惑不解.
这个短语的具体出处已无法考证,但有一种说法比较合乎情理,具有一定的说服力.据说很久以前探险家到荒山野岭去探险的时候,为了防备猛兽的袭击,做好了各种各样的准备工作.他们带上防身的武器,以防不测.但是他们怎么也没有料到,猛兽对他们的威胁不大,因为这些野兽对这些不速之客也心存畏惧,早就逃之夭夭了.倒是草丛里的小昆虫、蚂蚁却毫无顾忌地钻进了他们的裤脚,在他们的身上乱爬.结果搞得这些探险家坐立不安,无所适从.逐渐地,ants in one's pants 便形成了一个固定短语,与汉语中的『坐立不安』、『急得像热锅上的蚂蚁』等相对成趣.例如：
Tom has got a ticket to the football match, but his father ordered him to write the composition at home. He has ants in his pants.
大家先翻译一下上面这个句子,另外大家还知道什么与ant有关的词组或谚语呢

汤姆搞到了足球赛的票,但他父亲让他在家写作文.他急得像热锅上的蚂蚁.

[典故+习语]--读典故学英语,够有趣--(6)换apple了
APPLE OF ONE'S EYE
这是一个名词短语,其历史比较久远,在西方国家甚至非英语国家也有类似的说法.但是对东方人来说,该短语似乎有些费解.
苹果在西方人的心目中是一种像征吉祥的水果.他们认为苹果可以给人带来好运.常食苹果可以使人身体健康.英语中与苹果有关的短语很多.如人人都知道的谚语 An apple a day keeps the doctor away.（一天一苹果,医生远离我.）就说明了西方人对苹果的珍视.
由于以上的原因,人们就用 apple of one's eye 这一短语来表达这样的意思：something or someone that is adored; a cherished person or object,汉语的意思就是『珍贵的人或物』.例如：
Charles is the apple of his mother's eye.
查尔斯是他母亲的心肝宝贝.
John regarded the gold ring left by his dead wife as the apple of his eye.
约翰把他亡妻留下的这只金戒指视为珍宝
下面是两句关于apple的谚语,看看你是否全部都知道呢
(1) The rotten apple injures its neighbors.
(2) Throw away the apple because of the core.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) [谚]一只烂, 烂一筐; 一个坏朋友可以影响一群好人.
(2) 因噎废食.
以下是网友提供的词组：
Adam's apple 喉结；as like as an apple to an oyster 毫无相同之处
polish the apple [美俚]拍马屁, 讨好
大家可能奇怪,这个短语中间,把苹果擦得很亮怎吗就是拍马屁呢?据说是这样,在当初美国
的学校中阿,孩子很穷,有些孩子可以给老师礼物,比如一个苹果,其他的孩子没有礼物,只能把苹果擦得很亮,也是对老师的一种讨好,后来就成了讨好的一种说法.
apple polisher 马屁精
Adam's apple 喉结
apple of discord （引起争吵,仇恨等的）祸根
upset sb’s apple cart 破坏某人的计划
in apple-pie order 井然有序
Big apple 是New York的别名

ASK FOR THE MOON
很多东西你都可以问父母要,但你若要天上的月亮或星星,他们就无法满足你的要求了, 想必你也不会如三岁顽童提出如此无理的要求吧!根据 ask for the moon 这个短语中的【月亮】一词,我们可以联想到【猴子捞月】这个妇孺皆知的中国童话故事：一只猴子发现月亮掉到了水中（大家都知道那只不过是月亮在水中的倒影而已!）,出于好心,它邀来了自己的同伴,众多猴子一个个头尾相接试图捞出水中的月亮,结果大家是可想而知的.ask for the moon 表达的含意为：to want something that you cannot reach or have; to try for the impossible,在汉语中大致可以表达为『想入非非』、『异想天开』、『痴人说梦』等等.此外,这一短语还可以表达为 cry for the moon.例如：
You are crying for the moon if you hope the teacher will leave us no homework.
【中】你如果有让老师不给我们留作业这样的怪念头那真是异想天开.
下面是几个关于moon的习语谚语,看看你是否全部都知道呢,
aim [level] at the moon
cover oneself with the moon
(make) believe [think] that the moon is made of green cheese
once in a blue moon
promise sb. the moon
The moon does not heed the barking of dogs. (=Does the moon care for the barking of a dog?)
The moon is not seen where the sun shines.

[典故+习语]--读典故学英语,够有趣--(8)今天讲帽子吧
AT THE DROP OF A HAT
He was quarrelsome and ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
读过上面这句话,你如果把它理解为“他这人爱吵架,帽子掉到地上就会同人争吵.”,那可就同句子的实际意义相去甚远,甚至可以说是南辕北辙了.
中世纪,在欧洲社会中,流行着决斗的风气.一些骑士或武士们为了自己的心上人,往往采取决斗的方式,如俄国的大诗人普希金就死于决斗之中.这些人们在决斗之前,往往把帽子狠狠地往地下一摔,这就意味着决斗马上就开始了.这一习俗不仅在决斗中,在其它场合也意味着坏事立即就要发生了.
时过境迁,决斗这一现像已成为历史.然而 at the drop of a hat 这一短语却流传下来,而且保留了『立即,马上』、『刻不容缓』等含意.其英语释义为：without waiting, immediately.例如：
If you need a babysitter quickly, call Mary, because she can come at the drop of a hat.
【中】如果你急需保姆,给玛莉打电话吧,因为她召之即来.
下面是几个关于hat的习语谚语,看看你是否全部都知道呢,

The House of 1000 Mirrors
千镜之屋
Long ago in a small,faraway village,there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.A small,happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.When he arrived,he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could.To his great surprise,he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.He smiled a great smile,and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly.As he left the House,he thought to himself,"This is a wonderful place.I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village,another little dog,who was not quite as happy as the first one,decided to visit the house.He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him,he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.As he left,he thought to himself,"That is a horrible place,and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors.What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
趣味英语小故事：I've Passed My Right on to You
One day,Wilson was walking quietly along the road when somebody gave him a violent blow on the back of the neck.He looked behind him,and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.
“How dare you hit me like that!”shouted Wilson.
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.
This insult made Wilson even angrier,of course,and he at once arranged for the young man to be brought before a judge.There was nothing for the young man to do but to appear before the court.
Now,the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man's father,and,although he pretended to be quite fair,he was thinking how he could avoid punishing the young man while at the same time not appearing unjust.
Finally he said to Wilson,“I understand your feelings in this matter very well.Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”
Wilson said he would not be.The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.
“Well,then,”said the judge to the young man,“I order you to pay ten liras to Wilson.”
Ten liras was very little for such a crime,but the young man did not have it with him,so the judge allowed him to go and get it.
Wilson waited for him to return with the money.He waited an hour,he waited two hours,while the judge attended to other business.
When it was nearly time for the court to close,Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy,came up quietly behind him and hit him hard on the back of the neck.Then he said to him,“I am sorry,but I can't wait any longer.When the young man comes back,tell him that I have passed my right to the ten liras on to you.”
