中国传统故事英语演讲稿
案例一:
Ladies and gentlemen:
The fox borrows the tiger’s fierceness (by walking in the
latter’s company)——bully people by flaunting one’s powerful
connections.
One day,a fox ran into a tiger,which was hunting in the
the tiger’s big hungry mouth,the fox pretended to be
surprised,and said,“How dare you eat me?I’m much fiercer than
you though you have the name of ‘King of the beasts’!” “What
are you talking about?” said the tiger who couldn’t believe his
ears.“If you don’t believe me,let’s go and see other beasts’
reactions at the sight of us.” Full of misgivings,the tiger decided to
follow the fox and see what he was up to.
A strange sight was taken place in the forest:the fox was proudly
marching in front and the ferocious tiger followed in a
ng them,all the little beasts fled in a a
while,the fox stopped and asked the tiger,“Now do you believe
me?” The tiger,who was fooled by this trick,believed that the little
beasts feared the fox instead of himself,therefore he let him go.
The tiger lost a delicious meal,while the Chinese gained an
interesting idiom.
thank you!
案例二:
Ladies and gentlemen
Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It
said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go
out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When
I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I
jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my
cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at
the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can
compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I
stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir,
why don't you come often and look around my place?"
Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the
well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle
told the frog about the East Sea.
"Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the
sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea
of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were
floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not
increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were
droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not
decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time
and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain
that falls. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."
After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was
shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very
ill at ease.
thank you!
