【导语】著名儿童文学家严文井说：“寓言是一个魔袋，袋子很小，却能从里面取出很多东西来，甚至能取出比袋子大得多的东西。寓言是一个怪物，当它朝你走过来的时候，分明是一个故事，生动活泼；而当它转身要走开的时候，却突然变成了一个哲理，严肃认真。以下是整理的相关资料，希望对您有所帮助！
【篇一】
The Gnat and the Bull
蚊子和公牛
A GNAT settled on the horn of a Bull， and sat there a long time. Just as he was about to fly off， he made a buzzing noise， and inquired of the Bull if he would like him to go. The Bull replied， “I did not know you had come， and I shall not miss you when you go away.”
有只蚊子落到一只公牛的角上，停留了好久。要走的时候，他嗡嗡地边飞边问公牛是否愿意他离开。公牛回答说：“我不知道你什么时候来的，你走了以后，我也不会想念你。”
寓意
Some men are of more consequence in their own eyes than in the eyes of their neighbors.
有些人总是觉得自己很重要，但是他人却不以为然。
【篇二】
Going South by Driving the Chariot
南辕北辙
Once a man wanted to go to the south， but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him： ‘If you are going to the south， why is your chariot heading north？ ’ The man answered， ‘My horse is good at running， my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage， and I have enough money. ’ The man didn‘t consider that the direction might be wrong； the better his conditions were， the further he was away from his destination.
从前有个人要到南方去，他坐的车子却向北方行驶。过路人说：“你去南方，车子怎么向北行驶呢？”他回答说：“我的马很能跑路，我的车夫驾车的技术也很高明，加上我又带了充足的路费。”这个人没有考虑到，方向弄反了，他的条件好，离他要去的地方就越远。
寓意
The idiom derived from this story indicates that one’s action was the opposite effect to one‘s intention.
后来人们就把这个故事概括为“南辕北辙”，比喻一个人的行为和他的目的正好相反。

有个人到一间商店买鹦鹉。店里有三只鹦鹉，其中一只卖五千元，另一只卖一万元，还有一只卖三万元。顾客问老板：「为什么这只要卖五千元？这个价钱对这种鹦鹉来说太贵了！」老板说：「因为我有训练他讲话。」顾客又问：「那这只呢？他会做什么？为什么要卖这么贵？」老板说：「他除了会说话之外，还会表演一些有趣的动作，好比说跳舞等等，所以才卖这么贵。」顾客接着又问：「那第三只呢？他会做什么？为什么要卖这么贵？」老板说：「我不知道。我从没听过他讲话、吹口哨或唱歌，也没看过他跳舞，什么都没有！不过另外两只叫他：『老板！』」
