树tree[英][tri:] [美][tri] 中英文小故事：树和斧头 有个樵夫走进树林里，发现那里有很多健壮的树，有的树龄甚至超过百岁。 樵夫对最老的一棵树说：“你一定是树林之王了。我想向你提出一个要求。我的斧头柄断了，请你允许我砍下一棵小树，以便做一把新的斧头柄。我只要一棵小树就够了。” 老树觉得这人说话有礼貌，便很高兴地摇撼树叶以示答应。 不久，樵夫砍下一棵小树，做了一把新的斧头柄，装在斧头上。 斧头柄做好之后，樵夫竟用斧头砍倒了树林里的所有大树，然后把树身砍成段木，准备拿去卖。 那棵老树无助地看着同伴逐一地被毁灭，懊悔地对邻近的柏树说：“一开始我就做错了。如果我不牺牲那棵小树生存的权力，我尚可保全自己和大家，而继续生存在这里啊！” 故事哲理： 人的生存靠合作和团结。不管是有意或无心地牺牲别人 或出卖别人，一步踏错，后果不堪设想。 The Tree and the Axe A woodcutter went into the jungle and found many sturdy trees there. Some were more than a century old. The woodcutter said to the oldest tree, “You must be the king of the jungle. I have a little request here. The handle of my axe is broken. Would you allow me to cut down a young tree so that I can make a new handle? Just a small tree will do.” The old tree was touched by his good manners, so it shook the leaves vigorously to show consent. The woodcutter felled a young tree, made a new handle and put it on his axe. After that, the woodcutter started chopping down the bigger trees in the jungle. He cut the wood into logs ready for sale. The old tree saw the death of his friends and thought remorsefully, “If I had not sacrificed that little tree, we might still be safe now.” Sacrificing or (straying others may get you into serious trouble in the end. 中英文例句 1.
