画眉鸟warbler[英][ˈwɔ:blə(r)] [美][ˈwɔrblɚ] 中英文小故事：牢笼里的画眉鸟 有一只画眉鸟，从小被养在鸟笼里，和外界几乎说了节。呈现在她眼前的是一座花园，虽然她每天只能看见花园里一块小小的天地，却不愁吃、不愁喝的，生活过得倒很惬意。 一天早晨，一只黄莺飞到鸟笼附近的树枝上,黄莺招呼道：“早上好，画眉姐姐。” “你好，黄莺妹妹，大清早就出来找虫吃吗？”黄莺说：“是的。你怎么被关在牢笼里呢？”画眉鸟笑着说：“这怎么是牢笼呢？这是我的家！在这里我可以尽情享受，放声歌唱，又不怕敌人的侵袭。” “可是你的自由呢？”黄莺问。 “自由算得了什么。我这里多么舒适，不愁吃不愁喝，而且十分安全，这可比自由可贵多了。黄莺妹味，你的家在哪里呢？” 黄莺在空中飞了一圈，又落回原处说：“我的家在高山、森林、原野、蓝天，在那里有许多的鸟儿作伴，根本不知寂寞为何物。大家可以自由地飞翔、纵情歌唱，啊！幸福极了。” 画眉鸟不相信：“别吹了，你们经常忍饥挨冻，这恐怕才是你们的实际情况吧！” 黄莺笑着说：“如果有机会的话，欢迎你到大自然的怀抱去看看、玩玩！”说完便飞走了。 一个偶然的机会，画眉鸟的主人一时疏忽忘了锁上鸟笼，画眉鸟便趁机飞出了鸟笼，她想看看这个广阔的大自然。 画眉鸟在天空飞呀飞，可总也飞不到尽头，加上她常年被困在牢笼里，飞了一阵就累得不得了。此时她又饥又渴。 最后，她掉落在一座黑黝黝的大森林里，吓得她魂不附体，大自然原来这么可怕！ 画眉鸟挣扎着，冲出森林，又拼命赶回自己的家——笼子。她觉得她的家才是最安全、最舒适的。 The Warbler in the Cage There was a warbler who was kept in a cage since she was bom. She had lost touch with the outside world. Every day what she saw was the garden she was in. Of course she did not have to worry about food at all. One morning, an oriole perching on a branch near the cage greeted her, “Good morning, dear Sister.” “How do you do, dear Oriole. Have you come to look for food early in the morning?” The oriole said, “Yes. Why are you locked up here?” The warbler said, “How can you call this a prisoner’s cage? This is my home! I can sing freely, eat well and need not have to worry about being attacked by the enemy.” “But where is your freedom?” asked the oriole. “Freedom is nothing. I feel so comfortable and safe here. This is more important than freedom. Dear Sister, where is your home?” The oriole looked up at the sky and replied, “My home is up in the mountain, the jungle, the field and the blue sky. There are so many other birds for company that I never feel lonely. All of us can fly and sing freely. Ah, we are so fortunate•” The warbler shook her head with disbelief. “Don’t lie. You guys have to suffer hunger and cold most of the time. I think that is your true situation!” The oriole laughed. “If there’s a chance, I welcome you to come out and see for yourself!” Then she flew away. There came a chance when the warbler’s master forgot to lock up the cage. The warbler took the opportunity to fly out of the cage into the sky. After flying for a while, she was tired, hungry and thirsty. Finally，she entered the gloomy big jungle. She found it so strange and frightening that she rushed back to her home - the cage. She felt that only this home vas the safest and most comfortable for her. 中英文例句 1. A reed warbler feeds a cuckoo chick which it has raised as its own. 一只苇莺正在给杜鹃喂食，它把它当成了自己的孩子。 2.
