蛇snake[英][sneɪk] [美][snek] 中英文小故事：象和蛇 很久很久以前，象和蛇是一对好朋友。他们俩的性格很接近，都很髙傲，且自以为了不起，一概不和别的动物交往。 由于这两个好朋友朝夕相对，渐渐地彼此产生了厌恶之心。首先是象奚落蛇说：“瞧你身子又细又长，扭来扭去的，一点儿作为也没有。真讨厌死了！ ” 蛇听了很生气，说：“你自己也不见得好到那儿，又肥又笨！ ” 象听了大怒，抬起脚想把蛇踩死。蛇灵活地躲来躲去，正巧附近有个洞，蛇就钻进洞里藏了起来。 象踩不到蛇，心有不甘，便一屁股坐下去将洞口堵住，想把蛇闷死。 蛇知道象的企图后，就在象堵住洞口的屁股上狠狠地咬了一口，毒液很快渗入象的身体内。 不久，象躺在洞口死去了。可是蛇也始终出不来，结果闷死在洞。 The Elephant and the Snake Once upon a time, there was an elephant and a snake who were good friends. They were alike in that they were too proud to make friends with other animals. The elephant and the snake eventually became bored with each other. One day, the elephant said to the snake, “Look at you，your body is slim and so long, twisted here and there, with no benefit to you at all!” The snake was much offended and he replied, “You are useless too, big and clumsy!” The elephant was so angry that he raised his big foot to step on the snake. But the snake successfully avoided him and crawled into a hole nearby. Very upset that the snake had got away, the elephant then sat on the hole, hoping that this would suffocate the snake. The snake realised the elephant’s intentions and quickly bit the elephant’s bottom. The snake’s venom entered the elephant’s body. After a while, the elephant lay dead on top of the hole, so the snake was stuck in the hole. And soon the snake died too. 中英文例句 1. A snake was creeping along the wall. 一条蛇正沿着墙爬行。 2.
