中国英语小故事作文【一】
There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在战国时代的宋国，有一个农民，每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒，他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子，可是他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕的，总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。
奇迹终于发生了。一天，他正在田里干活，一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然， 有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
这天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此，他就不再种地了，一天到晚守着那个神奇的.树根，等着奇迹再次出现。
人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。
拓展阅读：
【汉字】守株待兔

??寓言小故事：The Wolf and the LambaWolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his 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." On 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.

中国英语小故事作文【六】
清乾隆年间，江南水乡有一位响当当的厨子，名叫张小采。二十年前，张小采机缘巧合下得到一位前辈的指点，烹饪之道略有小成。后来，他拿出自己积攒多年的银两，开了家酒楼，定名为“玉香楼”。
开张之日，酒楼上下张灯结彩，锣鼓鞭炮震天作响。张小采让伙计在酒楼门上贴出一副对联。呵！让人无不称奇。只见那上联：四大菜系无一不精；下联：天南海北全都会做；横幅：天下美食。
口气不小，只是不知道这夸下海口的厨子有没有几把刷子？让人没想到的是，张小采硬生生地借着自己的机灵劲儿和这几年的努力，把客人要求的菜肴全做了出来，做得也是鲜嫩丰美，色、香、味俱全。食客无不惊叹，拍手称快。
这日，刚过晌午，一个老者经过玉香楼前，望见那副对联，他冷笑了一声，一走进酒楼，就招呼小二：“你家掌勺当真‘四大菜系无一不精、天南海北全都会做’？”
“我家掌勺的说了，若是有一道菜他做不出来，门口的对联就摘下来。我家玉香楼开张这几年，倒是有好多客人想摘，可惜没人有这个能耐。”老人笑了，扬声说：“哈哈，好！那就先给我来一道‘竹外桃花三两枝’。”小二答得利索：“客官，您就瞧好吧！”
一会儿工夫，小二风风火火地从后厨走出来，手中多了一盘“桃花点绛红”。周围的食客看见，忙围上前来。呵！张小采这道菜真是讨巧，他用的是一个绘有翠竹的碟子，旁边正放着三块带着点点艳红的.桃花饼。还别说，真有那么点味道！小二略带一丝得意，问：“客官，您看，合您的心意吗？下一道呢？”
老人端详着这道菜，说：“倒也有股机灵劲儿。好，这次算他搪塞过去。第二道，我要点‘春江水暖鸭先知’。”
“好！”没过多久，小二从后厨出来，只见他向一个伙计低语几句，就见伙计带着一个木桶，提着一个菜篮，急匆匆走出楼去。
不一会儿，只见伙计提着一桶水、带着一篮蔬菜回来了。又一会儿，后厨里飘出一股鲜香，光是闻一闻，就让人垂涎三尺。片刻后，小二小心翼翼地端着一个大砂锅走上前来，说：“客官，您看。”小二掀起砂锅盖，浓浓的一股香味带着腾腾的热气，散发出来。只见那砂锅中，几片金黄的带皮鸭肉悠悠然漂在水上，煞是好看，真有几丝小鸭凫水的意趣；砂锅的配菜新鲜翠绿，倒也有几分江边柳树随风飘扬的滋味；汤汁鲜黄，给人一种饱满厚实之感。
这时，小二放下一个小火炉，将砂锅放在上面。老者端详着砂锅，眼底从开始的淡然，多了一点疑惑，进而竟变成一丝喜悦。只听老者低声道：“难道……真是……那倒也算有所长进。只是这刀工，怕是受心高气傲的影响，不进反退。唉，这样下去，到最后顶多也就算个寻常厨子，我怎放心得下？”小二可没注意老者的话语，他以为老者也被张小采的厨艺所折服，随即说道：“客官，我看要不就这样打住？”
“急什么？我方才叫了两道菜，你们上了一道点心，一道汤，主菜还没做，这让我如何下口？”小二颇有些无所谓，同时也带着些期待，信口说道：“那您还想叫什么？”说着，他看了一眼砂锅，只听见“咕嘟咕嘟”，想必是鸭汤开锅了。
老人想了想，说：“很简单，那就下两句‘蒌蒿满地芦芽短，正是河豚欲上时’吧。”
小二哈哈笑道：“我就知道是这两句。我家掌勺的已经吩咐好了。您看，正是时候。”小二掀起锅盖，略显沸腾的鸭汤泛着丝丝热气。突然，只见一块块白花花的河豚肉，从锅底翻腾了上来。这架势，真好似河豚在水中游动，上下翻飞，竟真是那“正是河豚欲上时”！
小二一脸得意的表情，他看了一眼老者，又说：“‘蒌蒿满地芦芽短’我想就不必说了吧！老人家，您知道的。”
老者点了点头，略带一丝微笑。他拿起竹筷，在砂锅中一捞，正是几样春季的时令蔬菜，不多不少，刚好五样。
小二继续说：“我家掌勺的早就料到了。他特意让我派个伙计，去取活江水以及新鲜的蔬菜，正是想到会这样。”
听到这里，老人竟摇了摇头，他说道：“可我要的是主菜，你家掌勺的只求表面功夫，会错意了。这样吧，我让他一回，有道是‘蚂蚁上树，猴子爬杆’。最后一道菜，就让他给我来一道‘猴子爬杆’吧。不过，我有一点要求，必须让你家掌勺的现场做出来。”
小二略有一丝惊讶，心想这还镇不住你？不过，他对张小采的厨艺绝对有信心，答道：“好，客官！不过我得先问问掌勺的。”说完，小二悠然走向后厨。
张小采年轻气盛，现场做就现场做。他招呼伙计搬来厨具，准备原料，开始做菜。老者站立一旁，静静地看着。只见张小采先将烙好的白面饼“噌噌噌”切成细条，然后把鸡蛋液与切好的饼条打匀，倒进油锅里，一起翻炒，最后，放入佐料，翻炒均匀。
不一会，只见一盘猴子爬杆饼条出锅了，色泽金黄，松软鲜香。围观之食客，无不叫好称赞。张小采端着盘子走到老者面前，自信地说：“这份猴子爬杆，有虚有实，有动有静，也算是一道名菜。老人家您果然见识非凡。”
但是老者看都没看这盘菜，就揶揄道：“你这就做好了？哼！果然还是欠火候。你这道菜，猴子有了，杆也有了，可我怎么没看到猴子爬杆呢？我要你现场做，个中奥秘，皆缘于此。而且，你这小猴，怎么连眼睛都没有啊，哈哈哈？”
“这……”张小采哑口无言。“这真正的猴子爬杆，其实是这样的。”老者命伙计取来鲜虾、竹笋，佐料若干。老者提刀切笋，较于张小采，老者刀工更慢，更柔和，但切出来的笋条却十分整齐。老者将笋条倒入锅中，竹笋“噼噼啪啪”，一股沁人心脾的清香发散出来。这香味，相比之前的猴子爬杆，更具一股清凉芬芳之感。几分钟后，老人将炒好的竹笋收入盘中，然后他再起油锅，将佐料撒入锅中，霎时间，奇香四溢。
接下来，老人又放入竹笋，炒拌均匀，再迅速将活虾倾盆倒入锅中，只见活虾受不住高温煎烤，虾脚自然弯曲，竟然正是抱住竹笋，向上蹿动。一双双小虾眼，真给人一种小猴在杆上玩耍的奇特感觉，却正像那“猴子爬杆”！
“好！”不经意间，周围聚拢的人越来越多，潮水般的叫好声四面而来。老者将这盘真正的猴子爬杆放在张小采面前。这位年轻人看得呆若木鸡，而后面红耳赤，恨不得挖个洞钻进去。
“年轻人啊，满招损，谦受益。我们厨子，可以有傲骨，但不能有唯我独尊的狭隘。我之前教过你的，可惜你……唉！你看你这几年，受自负侵蚀，你做菜的心意，竟是不进而退。心意没有，再好的色与香，又能如何？终是抵不过‘味’这位冷面判官。”
张小采这才反应过来，这似曾相识的老者，不正是多年前点化自己的高人吗？这番教导，更是字字入耳。张小采如醍醐灌顶，他赶紧行礼。但是待他抬起头来时，老者早已融入人群之中，不见踪影。只留下一盘“猴子爬杆”，在桌上冒着热气，那虾脚，似乎还动着哩！
