蟋蟀cricket[英]['krɪkɪt] [美][ˈkrɪkɪt] 中英文小故事：蚂蚁和蟋蟀 有一只不经世事的小蟋蟀.春天和夏天阳光明媚的日子里除了唱歌以外，什么都不做。冬天到了，他突然发现，家里的食橱空空如也。这令他非常沮丧。在白雪皑皑的大地上，连一丁点儿吃的都没有；一朵花儿也看不见；树上一片叶子也没有。 最后，饥饿的蟋蟀不得不鼓起勇气。他浑身挂满露水，冻得直哆嗦，来到蚂蚁家，想讨些吃的。 “亲爱的蚂蚁，”他叫到，“你能不能发发慈悲，帮帮我这个可怜的人？我一点吃的东西都没有了。我需要一件外衣，一双鞋，一个能避雨的地方和一口饭。我只是想借，明天就会还你。要不我肯定会饿死的。” 蚂蚁对蟋蟀说：“知道吗，我亲爱的朋友，我们蚂蚁从来不向别人借东西，我们也从来不借给别人东西。请你告诉我，天气暖和的时候，你没有准备一些过冬的东西吗？” 蟋蟀说，“没有！我那时那么无忧无虑。我一天到晚都在唱歌，因为一切都好像美好极了。” “先生，你说你唱歌对吗？”蚂蚁说，“那么，去吧，跳舞过冬去吧。” 说着，蚂蚁砰地一声把蟋蟀关在了门外，自己坐回温暖舒适的窝里。他说：“如果我整个夏天都游手好闲，我一定也会像他一样，什么都没有；我认为有一个道理非常正确，那就是：不劳动者不得食。” The Ant and the Cricket A silly young Cricket did nothing but sing through the warm sunny months of summer and spring. One day he was sadly surprised when he found that at home his cupboard was empty, and winter had come. Not a crumb could be found on the snow-covered ground；not a flower could be seen；not a leaf on a tree. At last the poor Cricket，made bold by hunger，all dripping with wet，and all trembling with cold, went to the house of an Ant begging for food. “Dear Ant,”he began, “will you not be so good as to help a poor fellow, who has nothing to eat? I want a coat for my back and shoes for my feet, a shelter from the rain，and a mouthful of grain. I wish only to borrow. I will pay you tomorrow— without them I must die of hunger and sorrow. ” Said the Ant to the Cricket，“Do you know，my good friend, that we Ants never borrow，we Ants never lend? But tell me，I pray，did you lay nothing by when the weather was warm? Said the Cricket, “Not I! My heart was so light that I sang day and night, for all things looked gay. ” “You sang，sir, you say? Go then,”said the Ant，“and dance winter away. ” Then，slamming the door in the poor Cricket’s face， he went and sat down in his warm，cozy place，and said，“I am sure I，d be very, very poor if I idled away every warm summer day；and I think that this rule is both right and good，he who lives without work must go without food. 中英文例句 1.
