中国经典寓言故事：即鹿无虞

In the dense mountain forest, there lived herds of stout and strong red deer. They were alert and suspicious animals and ran about with agility. It was very difficult for people to catch them. When some people came to the mountains to hunt, they would

在茂密的山林里，生活着成群肥壮的马鹿。这种动物机警多疑，奔走敏捷，人们很难捕捉到它们。

first seek for yu (supervisor of the mountain forests in ancient times), request him to be their guide, and inquire in detail about the red deer's pattern of activities and their usual haunts. Only with full preparations would they carry their knives and arrows, lead their hounds and enter the dense forest for the siege. As a result, all the red deer dashed into their ring of encirclement, and one by one fell dead under the rainfall of arrows.

有的人来山里打猎，首先找到虞(古代官名，掌管山林的人)，请他做向导，又仔细打听马鹿的活动规律和它们经常出没的地方。经过一番准备之后，他们才带着刀箭，牵着猎犬走进密林围猎。结果，那些马鹿都撞进了包围圈，一头头倒毙在雨点般的箭矢之下。

But when some other people came to the mountains to hunt, they would not first seek for yu to fmd out the situation, but rushed rashly into the forest. As a result, after a busy day they couldn't find a single trace of red deer and could only return de jectedly with empty hands.

但是，另外一些人来山里围猎时，他们不是先去找虞了解情况，而是冒冒失失地闯进森林。结果，他们连马鹿的踪影也找不着，白忙了一天，只好空着手垂头丧气地回去了。

中国经典寓言故事：鲁班造鹊

During the Spring and Autumn Period (770一476 B.C.), a skillful craftsman named Gongshu Zi in the State of Lu, known to people as "Lu Ban", made a magpie with bamboo and wood.

春秋时期，鲁国有个能工巧匠公输子，人称“鲁班”。他用竹木造了一只喜鹊。

A machine was installed in this magpie which, when started, could fly high like a real bird. It actually flew continually for three days and nights before it landed.

这只木制的喜鹊，安装着机关。只要一开动它，就能像真的鸟一样展翅高飞。它一连飞了三天三夜才降落下来。

Gongshu Zi greatly appreciated this excellent work of his own.

公输子非常欣赏自己这件得意的作品。

When Mo Zi (Master of the Mohist School) heard of this, he went immediately to see Gongshu Zi and said to him:

墨子知道了这件事情以后，立刻去见公输子，对他说:

"As you know, it takes an ordinary carpenter a very short time to make a linchpin of a wheel with the minimum amount of timber. A vehicle with a linchpin inserted into each end of an axle can carry many things and bear a heavy load of 50 dan(1 hectolitre). But you took painstaking effort to make this wooden magpie. Though pretty and able to fly, it cannot compare with the linchpin in terms of practical value. Things made by a carpenter should be useful for people's life, so that everyone will praise him for his cleverness and skill. Otherwise, he is bound to be derided."

“你知道，普通的木匠只花很短的时间，用极少的木料就能做成车辖。将车辖插在车轴的两端，这样的车子可以装载许多东西，能经受五十石的重压。而这只你费了心血做成的木头喜鹊，虽然会飞也很漂亮，但是却不如车辖那样有实用价值。木匠做出来的东西，要对人们的生活有帮助，大家才会夸他心灵手巧;否则难免被人笑骂。”

中国经典寓言故事：少女遇盗

Once upon a time, there was a young girl wearing a strand of precious pearls around her neck and a jade loop around her waist, and carrying a great deal of gold with her.

古时候，有位少女，脖子上挂着宝珠，腰间佩着玉环，身上带着许多金子。

One day, while walking in the hills, she encountered a bandit and was very much frightened.

一天，她在山里行走，突然遇到一个强盗，心里非常害怕。

When the bandit saw the gold, silver and other treasures, an evil thought occurred to him. Holding a weapon in his hand, he intended to rob her. The young girl was scared out of her wits. Trembling all over and not daring to look at him squarely in the face, she quickly bent and knelt down before the bandit, begging

him piteously, and saying that she was even willing to marry him to be his concubine.

那个强盗看到金银财宝，顿时产生了罪恶的念头，手持凶器，准备抢劫。少女吓得魂不附体，浑身发抖，不敢正面看他，急忙弯下腰来，跪在强盗面前，苦苦哀求，并且表示愿意嫁给强盗，做他的小老婆。

Yet, the atrocious bandit still killed her in the end.

但是，穷凶极恶的强盗，最后还是把她杀了。

It is thus clear that one should never expect mercy from a bandit.

可见，不能指望强盗会发善心。
