英语作为一门语言学科,具有工具性和人文性。就工具性而言,学生通过英语学习掌握基本的英语语言知识,而语言与故事的关系就像花与土壤的关系,语言的学习离不开故事,所以英语语言的学习和故事不是割裂开的。本文是英语故事演讲稿带中文翻译，希望对大家有帮助!

英语故事演讲稿带中文翻译：守株待兔

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck. The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal. That night he thought, 'I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.' So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.

This idiom satirizes(讽刺，挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.

守株待兔

宋国有个农夫正在田里翻土。突然，他看见有一只野兔从旁边的草丛里慌慌张张地窜出来，一头撞在田边的树墩子上，便倒在那儿一动也不动了。农民走过去一看：兔子死了。因为它奔跑的速度太快，把脖子都撞折(shé)了。农民高兴极了，他一点力气没花，就白捡了一只又肥又大的野兔。他心想;要是天天都能捡到野兔，日子就好过了。从此，他再也不肯出力气种地了。每天，他把锄头放在身边，就躺在树墩子跟前，等待着第二只、第三只野兔自己撞到这树墩子上来。世上哪有那么多便宜事啊。农民当然没有再捡到撞死的野兔，而他的田地却荒芜了。

这个成语用来讽刺那些坐等机遇的人，而不是通过努力而获取他们的所需。

英语故事演讲稿带中文翻译：偃旗息鼓

In the Three Kingdoms Period, during a battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the latter ordered his generals Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to capture Cao Cao’s supplies. Cao Cao led a large force against Zhao Yun, who retreated as fas as the gates of his camp. There, he ordered that the banners be lowered and the war drums silenced, and that the camp gates be left wide open. Zhao Yun then stationed(安置，驻扎) his troops in ambush(埋伏) nearly. When Cao Cao arrived and saw the situation, he immediately suspected a trap and withdrew his forces.

This idiom is nowadays used to indicate metaphorically(隐喻地) halting an attack or ceasing all activities.

《三国志。蜀志。赵云传》中记载：在一次战斗中，蜀将黄忠杀死了曹将夏侯渊，并夺取了战略要地。曹操非常恼火，把米仓移到汉水旁的北山脚下，亲率20万大军向阳平关大举进攻。黄忠、张著商议趁夜烧劫魏军粮草。临行前赵云和他们约定了返回时间，过期不归就带兵出寨接应，正与曹操亲自统率的部队相遇。赵云同曹军厮杀起来，把曹军打得丢盔弃甲，救回了黄忠和张著。曹操没有善罢甘休，指挥大队人马追杀赵云，直扑蜀营。赵云的副将张翼见赵云已退回本寨，后面追兵来势凶猛，便要关闭寨门拒守。赵云下令大开营门，偃旗息鼓，准备放曹军进来;一面又命令弓弩手埋伏在寨内外，然后自己单枪匹马站在门口等候敌人。生性多疑的曹操追到寨门口，心想，寨门大开，必有伏兵，即匆忙下令撤退。就在曹操调头后退的时候，蜀军营里金鼓齐鸣，杀声震天，飞箭如雨般向曹军射击。曹军惊慌失措，夺路逃命，自相践踏。赵云趁势夺了曹军的粮草，杀死了曹军大批兵马，得胜回营。 后来，人们常用“偃旗息鼓”来比喻休战、无声无息或停止行动。

战国时，齐宣王喜欢听竽，通常是三百人的大合奏。因为他给予乐师非常优厚的待遇，所以一个叫南郭的人尽管并不擅长吹竽，也设法混进乐队。当乐队演奏时，他就站在队伍里假装也在吹。没有人注意到其实他连一点声音也没吹出来，所以南郭也享受到和其他乐师一样的待遇。宣王死后，他的儿子继承了王位。他也喜欢听竽，可是他喜欢听独奏，让乐师一个个吹给他听，于是南郭不得不逃跑了。
