雄鹿stag[英][stæɡ] [美][stæɡ] 中英文小故事：自负的雄鹿 从前，有一头雄鹿长着长长的、美丽的鹿角，他十分自负。每次在池边饮水，他总是欣赏自己在水中的倒影。“我很英俊，”他时常对自己这么说。“整个森林中都找不到如此出色的鹿角！”然后昂首阔步地离开池塘。和别的雄鹿一样，他有修长的四肢，但是据说他宁愿折断一条腿也不愿失去一支美丽的鹿角。傻得可怜的雄鹿！他是多么虚荣。 一天，他静静地凝视着低处树枝上的嫩芽，突然听到远处一声枪响。接着听到一群猎犬的吠声，他吓坏了。他知道猎狗是非常可怕的敌人，如果让他们嗅到自己的气味，想逃脱猎杀可不容易。他必须立即逃走，越快越好。他沿着林地的小路加速飞奔，心提到了嗓子眼。他听见猎犬的狂吠声就在身后。他没有向后看，只是径直向前奔去，竭力摆脱追击者。跑着跑着，树木渐渐变得稀少，最后他来到一片开阔地。“现在我安全了，真幸运，”雄鹿自言自语着飞快地穿过平地。犬吠声好像真的离他越来越远，逐渐消失了似的。 现在只要再跑远一点儿，他就能安全脱险了。但当他穿过一棵树时，他的角突然被低垂的树枝挂住了。他拼命地摇着头，试图挣脱树枝，可他越是使劲挣扎，他的角就卡得越紧。猎狗群越来越近。在厄运降临之前，雄鹿想：“我把鹿角当作我身体上最珍贵的部分真是一个错误。我应该更珍惜四肢。我的四肢让我逢凶化吉，而我的双角却让我丢掉了性命！” The Conceited Stag Once upon a time there was a stag with splendidly long antlers，who was very conceited. Every time he drank at a pool，he would stand and admire his reflection in the water. “I am handsome，” he would tell himself. “There’s no finer set of antlers in the forest!” And off he would prance. Like all stags，he had long slender legs，but folk said he，d rather break a leg than lose a single branch of his splendid antlers. Poor foolish stag! How vain he was. One day，as he gazed peacefully on the tender shoots on some low branches，he heard a distant shot. He heard with fear the baying of the hounds. Terrified, he knew what terrible enemies the hounds were and tViat，if they caught his scent, it would not be easy to outrxin them. He had to flee at once，and as quickly as possible. Faster and faster, he sped along the woodland track, his heart in his mouth. He could hear the baying of the pack at his heels. Without ever looking back，he ran in a straight line, trying to shake off his pursuers. Then the wood thinned out into a clearing. “With luck I’ll be safe now，” he said to himself, running swiftly over the smooth ground. And indeed, the yelping of the hounds seemed to die aw ay in the distance. Only a little further now，and the stag would reach safety. Suddenly，as he swept under a tree，his antlers caught in the low-hanging branches. He shook his head desperately, trying to break free, but although he struggled, his antlers were held fast. The hounds were coming closer and closer. Just before the stag met his doom, he had time to think，“What a mistake I made in regarding my antlers as the best and most precious part of my body. I should have had more respect for my legs. They tried to carry me to safety，while my antlers will be the death of me!” 中英文例句 1. A stag has large horns. 牡鹿有很大的角。 2. "So we've been eating a talking stag." “原来我们正在吃一只会说话的鹿。” 3. And I went to the wedding stag. 我也只好单身一人来参加婚礼。 4.
