鬣狗hyena[英][haɪ'i:nə] [美][haɪˈinə] 中英文小故事：狼和鬣狗 从前，有个牧民，他拥有一群羊，并雇了一名牧人帮他牧放。有一天，别处跑来了一只狼，绕着牧人和羊群转来转去，想偷羊吃，可是，却苦于没有机会。终于有一天，牧人疏于防备，让狼找到了机会，夺走了一只肥羊。 牧人回到羊群的主人那儿去，把羊被狼吃了的事情告诉了他。 主人马上说：“羊是在什么地方被狼抓去吃掉的？快告诉我！” 于是牧人便将那个地方告诉给主人听。主人抓起狼吃剩的羊尸，将它高高地吊在一棵树上。然后拿来一个捕兽器，将它装置在树下。 过了一会儿，狼又来了。他对高高吊着的羊尸说道：“羊儿啊，你总不会无缘无故地吊在那里吧？”说完就走开了。 狼找到了一只鬣狗，对他说道：“我从来没有像今天这样吃到这么多的肉。” 鬣狗忙说：“快带我去，让我也吃一些好吗？” “行啊！”狼满口答应。他领着鬣狗来到那棵树下，指着那吊着的羊尸说：“哪，你想吃，就自己去拿吧！” 鬣狗走上前去，伸出前爪，想把吊着的羊尸扯下来。突然，捕兽器“砰”的一声打下来，将他的后腿牢牢地夹住了。 “啊！你害我上了当。”鬣狗大声叫道。 狼却说：“这还算不得什么倒霉，等会儿，那个捕兽人还会带着棍子到这里来呢！” 狼说着，便朝吊着的羊尸走过去，尽情地吃个饱。 当他欲离去时，冷不防被鬣狗猛然地咬下了他的半载尾巴，并且喊道：“好，将来有机会我一定要报仇，我必认得出你这少了半截尾巴的骗子！ ” 狼有点儿担心，回头说道：“要是我给你出个主意，让捕兽人放掉你，你会放过我吗？ ” “好吧，你快说！ ” “等捕兽人来到时，你就装死，他一见你死了，肯定会将你从捕兽器中取出来，到时你就赶快逃跑。” 不久，羊群的主人来了，看到地上躺着一只死鬣狗，有点儿惋惜地说道：“啊！我要是能活抓你该多好，那我就可以好好收拾你了！ ” 他打开捕兽器，鬣狗感觉到他的后腿已从夹子里松脱了，便猛地跳了起来，逃跑了。那人气得对他大 叫：“好狡猾！原来你还活着！ ” 鬣狗飞也似的奔跑，最后总算回到了自己的家里。 话说这边的狼已请来了自己的伙伴，总共有十只狼。他对大伙儿说：“我需要池塘里的水。我们到那儿去，用罐子把水打上来。我把罐子捆在你们的尾巴 上。凡是给我送来满满一罐水的，都可得到一大块的肉。” 事情就这么决定了。狼让他的伙伴们去打水。突然，他朝伙伴们高声喊起来：“快，快，你们快从池塘里爬上来！猎人骑着马来了。” 众狼一听，跳起来，拔腿就跑，可是尾巴上的水罐太重了，在极端恐惧之中，众狼拼命地扯呀，扯呀，把尾巴都扯断了，然后逃走。 过了不久，鬣狗碰到了那只曾陷害他的狼。 “别跑！ ”鬣狗叫道，“现在要让你瞧瞧我的厉害 了。” “我没得罪你，干吗如此对我呀？ ”狼狡猾地说。 “难道上次不是你骗我上圈套的吗？ ”鬣狗说， “嘿！我还特地咬断了你这半截尾巴呢！ ” 狼回答道：“像我这样长着短尾巴的狼可多着呢！不信我可以叫我的朋友们过来给你看看。” 狼叫来了他的那些伙伴，然后对鬣狗说：“你仔细瞧瞧，我们的尾巴不是全都这么短吗？现在，你还想冤枉我吗？ ” 鬣狗一看，无话可说。 The Wolf and the Hyena Once upon a time, there was a nomad who owned a flock of goats. He employed a goatherd to look after them. One day, a wolf was watching and trying to steal a goat for his meal. However, he could not find a way to deceive the goatherd. Finally one day, while the goatherd was not alert, he managed to steal a fat goat. When the goatherd went back to his master, the master said, “There should be one more goat. Where is it?” The goatherd said, “The wolf has eaten it.” The master said, “Show me the place where the goat was eaten by the wolf.” When they reached the place, the nomad picked up the remains of the dead goat and hung it on a tree with a trap set under it. After a while, the wolf came again. He talked to the hanging dead goat, "Goat, you won’t be hanging here just for nothing, right?” Then he went to a hyena and said, “I have never been fed such plentiful meat before!” The hyena said, “Please take me there and let me have a share” The wolf readily led the hyena to the tree and pointed to the dead goat. “There，take it if you want it!” The hyena walked towards the meat. While he was stretching out his claws to pull down the meat, the trap hit him and caught his back leg “Oh，you tricked me into falling into the trap!” the hyena howled. The wolf said, “The situation is not that bad yet. Later, the person who set the trap will come with a stick too.” While talking to the hyena, the wolf walked to the dead goat and started enjoying his food. Just as the wolf was about to leave，the hyena unexpectedly bit off his tail and said, “If I get a chance, I will take revenge on you. I am sure that I can recognise you, a liar without half of his tail!” The wolf felt a little worried and said, “If I give you an idea how to free yourself, will you forgive me?” “Sure! What is it?” “When the man comes, pretend that you are dead. When he sees that you are dead he will release you from the trap. You must quickly escape then.” When the nomad came and saw a dead hyena lying on the ground, he said, “What a waste! If I could catch you alive, I could deal with you properly” When he opened the trap, the hyena felt that his back leg was released and he dashed off. The nomad angrily shouted, “What a sly creature! You are still alive!” The hyena raced back to his home. Meanwhile, the wolf invited ten of his friends to his house. He said, “I need water from the pond. Go and collect some water with the tin. I will tie the tin on your tail. Whoever can bring back one full tin of water will be rewarded with a big piece of meat.” As the'wolves left to collect water, he suddenly shouted, “Hurry up! Hurry up! Out from the pond! A man is galloping this way!” When the wolves heard the shouting, they jumped out of the water and tried to run but the tins filled with water were too heavy to lift. They pulled and pulled and finally their tails snapped and they ran for their lives. After some time，the wolf met the hyena again. “Don’t run!” shouted the hyena. “Now I shall punish you to my heart’s content.” “I did not offend you，，，the wolf said slyly, “why do you speak to me like this?” The hyena said, “I remember that I tore away part of your tail.” The wolf answered, “There are many wolves with short tails like mine. If you don’t trust me, I shall call my friends to show you•” The wolf called out to his companions and when they appeared, he said to the hyena, “You can see for yourself. Have you been wrong about me?” The hyena was speechless. 中英文例句 1. Our guide ami identified several species including hyena and leopard. 我们的指导阿美族确定了几个物种包括鬣狗和豹。 2.
