英語是世界上通用的語言,而英語的學習是很枯燥的,想要學好英語不妨先從閱讀英語故事開始。

從英文故事中學習,提高英文水平。從故事中學習,學到人生的哲理。

今天為大家推薦的英語故事是: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,當他看見一只野兔時,就俯沖下來捕捉獵物。

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:“唉,我們總是給敵人提供毀滅我們自己的工具!”
