中秋节英语20字小作文【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。

??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.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

每年农历八月十五日，是我国传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为“中秋”。而又因为八月十五的月亮比其他几个月的满月更亮，所以又称“月夕”“八月节”。每逢中秋节，人们都要举行祭月，设大香宴，摆上月饼，水果等祭品。
一年一度的中秋节终于到了！夜幕降临，月亮姐姐从几朵灰白色的云彩后面登场了。胖嘟嘟的身子依然遮盖不住她美丽的姿态：一袭银灰色的纱裙，散发出阵阵幽亮，夜空成了大舞台，月亮姐姐就在那轻歌曼舞。她将皎洁的月色洒向大地，为大地穿上了一层银色的大衣，轻轻柔柔，朦朦胧胧；她将倒影洒在湖里面，不知会不会发生“猴子捞月”的趣事儿；她将倒影洒在小路上，一切都变得那么静谧美好，裹藏在月色这层薄薄的轻纱中。
一轮秋月，挂在夜空中，在云彩的遮掩下，变得有些隐隐约约，时而出现，时而消失。看着看着，我仿佛置身于其中，身临其境：感受着嫦娥奔月的传说，似乎还见到了那只活蹦乱跳的玉兔正躺在嫦娥仙子的怀抱里打盹儿。想到“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”的千古名句，我的心也随之澎湃起来……。不知不觉间，我已沉浸在这充满诗意的月色中了。
吃着香甜的月饼，赏着迷人的圆月，想着动人的传说，咏着醉人的诗句。我的心境立即变得有声有色起来，再抬头看看天空中那轮明月，仿佛也变得比往年更大，更圆，更亮，更美啦！
