适合让幼儿听的英语故事：乐极生悲

Chunyu Kun (淳于髡) lived in the state of Qi (齐国) during the Warring States Period (战国，475-221 BC).He was wise, humorous and eloquent. He skillfully advised the king on many occasions and successfully went to many states as an envoy.

战国时期，齐国有个叫淳于髡的人。他幽默机智，能说会道，给齐威王出过许多好主意，并且成功出使了许多其他的国家。

In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu (楚国) dispatched a large force to attack Qi.

公元349年，楚国派出大批军队攻打齐国。

The king of Qi sent Chunyu Kun to the state of Zhao (赵国) to ask for help, with a lot of valuable gifts.

齐王派淳于髡去赵国寻求帮助，于是他带着许多贵重的礼品去了赵国。

The king of Zhao accpeted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help Qi.

赵王见了礼物十分高兴，派了十万士兵去援助齐国。

The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news.

那天晚上，楚王得到这消息，马上撤回了自己的军队。

The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chunyu Kun. He set a banquet for celebration.

齐威王松了一口气，十分满意淳于髡的表现，并决定设宴为他庆功。

During the meal, the king asked Chunyu Kun, "How much wine can you drink before you're drunk, Sir?"

在宴会上，齐威王问淳于髡：“先生你喝多少酒会醉?”

Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chunyu Kun decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied, "I get drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred."

他幽默地回答说：“我有时喝一升酒就会醉，有时喝一百升酒才会醉。”

Puzzled, the king asked, "Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish another ninty litres?"

齐威王听了很奇怪。他问：“你喝一升已经醉了，怎么还会有喝一百升的道理呢?”

Chunyu Kun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under different conditions. He said, "This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it's sorrow's turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when you exceed the limits."

淳于髡就告诉齐王，在不同的情况下他的酒量是不一样的。他说：“喝酒让我想到一句古话：人喝酒到了自己的极限，烂醉之后就没了理智，一旦开心过了头，就会发生悲惨的事。所有的事情都是这个道理。不论你做什么，超过了限度，往往就会适得其反。”

Realizing Chunyu Kun was advising him, the king answered, "You are right. I will take your advice."

齐威王知道淳于髡在劝诫他，回答说：“你说得对，我会接受你的建议的。”

From then on, the king of Qi gave up his bad habit of drinking and playing all night.

从那以后，齐威王改掉了整晚饮酒作乐的坏习惯。

适合让幼儿听的英语故事：愚公移山

There were two high mountains between Jizhou in the south and Heyang in the north. One was called Taihang Mountain and the other Wangwu Mountain. Both of the mountains were very high. Just to the north of the mountains lived an old man called Yu Gong who was nearly 90 years old. With the two high mountains just in front of his house, his family and he had to walk a long way around the mountains whenever they had something to do on the other side of the mountains.

One day, Yu Gong called all his family together to talk about how to move the two mountains to other places. His wife said, "An old man like you cannot even move a small hill, not to mention the two high mountains. Even if you can, where can you throw so much earth and stone?"

"The Bohai Sea is big enough to contain all the earth and stone," Yu Gong said. So it was decided. His children started to dig the mountains, led by the old man Yu Gong.

A man named Zhi Sou saw them working and tried to stop them, saying, "You are so silly! You're so old and weak that you can't even take away the grass and trees. How can you move the high mountains?"

"You're wrong," Yu Gong said with a sigh. "Look, my sons can continue my work after my death. When my sons die, my grandchildren will continue. So generations after generations, there's no end. But the mountains can't grow higher. Do you still say I can't move them away?"

Later the Heaven God, upon learning of Yu Gong's story, was greatly moved. He then ordered another god to come down and take the two high mountains away.

The story tells us that so long as one is determined and sticks to it long enough, anything can be done, no matter how difficult it is.

在冀州的南面，河阳的北面，有两座巍峨的大山，一座是太行，一座是王屋，方圆七百里，有万丈高。

山的北边住着年近90的愚公。由于家门被山挡住，每次外出全家人都要绕过大山，多走很多路。

一天，愚公把全家人召集到一起，商量着把两座大山移走。妻子说：“凭你的力量，连一座小山丘也移不走，何况这两座大山呢?再说，你就是能移走，那土石往哪里放呢?”愚公说：“渤海那么大，可以把土石扔到渤海里去。”

说干就干，愚公带领子孙们挖起山来。河曲的智叟看见了，笑着阻止道：“你真是太傻了!以你的残年余力，连山上的一根草都动不了，更何况大山?”愚公叹了口气说：“你错了。你想想，我死了以后还有我的儿子，我的儿子又有儿子，子子孙孙没有穷尽!可是山上的土石不会增加，还怕挖不走吗?”

愚公移山的事很快被玉皇大帝知道了。玉帝被愚公坚韧不拔的精神所感动，便派大力神把两座大山背走了。

这个故事告诉我们：只要有决心，有毅力，再难的事情也能办成。
