伊索寓言(精选)-中译经典文库.语文新课标必读文学名著(双语版)(英汉对照) 本书特色
伊索(Aesop)的生平事迹茫然
难考，人们几乎一致认为，伊索
生在公元前620年左右，而且生下
来就是奴隶。他先后有两个主子
桑索斯和亚德蒙，二者均是萨摩
斯人。亚德蒙见伊索博学多识，
机智风趣，就大加奖赏，还他以自
由。伊索的人生道路，与后世哲学
家斐多、迈尼普斯和爱比克秦德
相同，出身卑贱，与人为奴，后来
腾达，名声大噪。
伊索寓言传世两千余年，版
本繁多。但纵观国内外伊索寓言选
本，多经一再改编，有些已面目全非，
演变为幼儿故事。本书则力图保留
伊索寓言未经雕琢的质朴风格，
无论语言还是插图，均追求原汁
原味。

儿，有只山羊路过这里，问狐狸在井底干什么。 “难道你还没有
听说吗?”狐狸说道， “旱灾就要来了，我跳到井里是为了让自己
有水喝。你为什么不下来呢?”山羊信以为真，也跳到井里。狐狸

he could not get out~. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards, and
asked the Fox what he was doing down there. "Oh, have you not
heard?" said the Fox; "there is going to be a great drought~, so I
jumped down here in order to be sure to have water by me. Why
don' t you come down too?" The Goat thought well of this advice,
and jumped down into the well. But the Fox immediately jumped on
her back, and by putting his foot on her long horns managed to
jump up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye, friend," said the Fox,
"remember next time, Never trust the advice of a man in
diffi~ldes."
六六狐狸和乌鸦
乌鸦嘴里叼着一块奶酪，飞到树枝上。狐狸见了，心想：
“我是一只狐狸，那奶酪应该是我的。”他走到树下，仰起头对乌
鸦说： “你好啊，乌鸦小姐。你今天的气色真好，你的羽毛多么
光彩照人，眼睛多么明亮!我敢肯定，你的歌声和外表一样美，
其他的鸟都比不上你。请为我唱一首歌吧，我愿奉你为鸟中之
王。”
乌鸦听了，昂起头呱呱大叫，可她刚一张口，嘴里的奶酪就
掉了下来，狐狸赶紧冲上来，一口咬住奶酪，对乌鸦说： “这就
对了，我要的就是这个。谢谢你的奶酪，作为回报，我送你一句
忠告——千万别相信马屁精的话。”
