优秀五年级英语故事：鹬蚌相争

The Zhao State was taking up arms against the Yan State, and Su Dai (a military strategist during the Warring States period, and little brother to Su Qin of the School of Diplomacy) traveled to speak with King HuiWen of Zhao on behalf of the Yan State, and he told the following fable:

“When I was coming here I passed over some gentle water, and by chance I happened to see a clam sunning itself. A sandpiper seized the opportunity to peck at the clam’s meat, but the clam slammed the two wings of its hard shell shut on the sandpiper’s beak. The sandpiper said, ‘Today it won’t rain, tomorrow it won’t rain, and there will be one dead clam!’ The clam gave as good as he got, saying: ‘I won’t come out today, I won’t come out tomorrow (so your beak won’t be free), and there will be one dead sandpiper!’ Neither party was willing to give up, and at this time, a fisherman scooped them both up and carried them off. If Yan and Zhao oppose each other, we’ll both fight ourselves weary. I’m afraid the strong Qin State is playing the role of the fisherman, so I hope that your majesty will carefully deliberate on this matter.”

赵国将要讨伐燕国，苏代(战国时策士，纵横家苏秦的弟弟)替燕国游说赵惠文王，讲了如下的寓言故事:

“我来的时候经过易水，恰好看到蚌出来晒太阳。鹬趁机啄蚌的肉，蚌把两扇介壳一闭就夹住了鹬的喙。鹬说:‘今天不下雨，明天不下雨，就有死蚌。’蚌也针锋相对地说: ‘今天不出，明天不出(夹住不放)，就有死鹬。’两者谁也不肯罢休，这时过来一个渔父把两者一起拎走了。”燕赵相对抗，都搞得很疲劳，我恐怕强大的秦国正在扮演渔父的角色，所以希望大王深思熟虑。

惠文王赞同苏代的意见，停止对燕国用兵。

优秀五年级英语故事：My Toy Bear

Today, mother came back from work, and very mysteriously said to me: “Cong cong, guess what I have bought for you?” I guessed many times, but mother repeatedly shook her head. Seeing my impatience, she took something from her backpack, I happily and excitedly took it from her and looked, ah! It was a pair of cute toy bears.

These two toy bears’ bodies were white as snow, they were pressed close together like a pair of dear sisters. Half-circle ears, small noses pointed outwards, a pair of eyes like two black pearls, chubby bodies, round head, all make them very lovable.

Most interesting is that if you use your hand to pat their arms, they automatically play some sweet-sounding music, it’s really wonderful [lit: fun]!

These two toys are like my good friends, they accompany me every day, and they bring lots of fun to my family. I like my toy bears.

今天，妈妈下班回来，神秘兮兮地对我说: “聪聪，猜猜看，我给你买什么了?我猜了好几次，妈妈都连连摇头。她看我急不可耐的样子，从背包里拿出一样东西，我兴高采烈地接过一看，啊，原来是一对可爱的玩具熊。

这两只玩具熊全身雪白雪白的，它们紧紧挨在一起，像一对亲密的小姐妹。半圆形的耳朵，小小的鼻子向前翘着，一双眼睛像两颗黑珍珠，胖乎乎的身体，圆圆的脑袋，让人喜欢得不得了。

更有趣的是，如果用手拍它的胳膊，它就会发出悦耳动听的音乐来，真是好玩极了。

两只玩具熊像我的好朋友，它们天天陪伴着我，给我家带来无穷的欢乐。我喜欢我的玩具熊。

优秀五年级英语故事：刻舟求剑

Long ago, there was a man from the State of Chu who loved his sword very much. One day, he was sitting in his boat preparing to cross a river, when he accidentally dropped his sword into the water. He immediately made a notch on the side of the boat at the place where his dear sword fell. When he returned close to shore, he re-entered the water just beneath the notch he made, looking for his sword. Naturally, he wasn’t able to find it.

The sword was already gone because the boat and the river were in motion. This idiom is used to describe a person who sticks to rigid rules without considering a changing environment [or describes an action made pointless by changing circumstances].

从前有一位楚国人, 他非常爱惜他的宝剑。有一天，他正坐在船上准备过河，一不小心他就把宝剑掉进了河里。他马上在宝剑掉落的地方作了记号。当他到达对岸的时候，他沿着记号跳进河里去找他的宝剑。当然，他已经找不到了。

宝剑已经不在原来掉落的地方因为船和水都在移动。这个故事形容只会刻板地遵守规则，不懂变通的人。
