【聽故事學(xué)英語】水邊的雄鹿 歡迎關(guān)注微信公眾號：曲線英語 THE STAG AT THE POOL A Stag saw his shadow reflected in the water, and greatly admired the size of his horns, but felt angry with himself for having such weak feet.While he was thus contemplating himself, a Lion appeared at the pool. The Stag betook himself to flight, and kept himself with ease at a safe distance from the Lion, until he entered a wood and became entangled with his horns. The Lion quickly came up with him and caught him.When too late he thus reproached himself: "Woe is me! How have I deceived myself! These feet which would have saved me I despised, and I gloried in theseantlers which have proved my destruction." What is most truly valuable is often underrated. 水邊的公鹿 一只雄鹿看到了自己倒映在水中的影子，它極為欣賞自己鹿角的尺寸。但是它卻對自己細(xì)弱的腳感到不滿意。當(dāng)它正在對自己冥思苦想的時(shí)候，一只獅子已悄然出現(xiàn)在水邊了。這只鹿趕緊逃跑。（顧不上顧影自憐了。）然后，它很容易就跟獅子(保持)拉開了安全距離。它很容易就可以和獅子保持一段安全距離。直到它進(jìn)入了一片森林之后，它的角就被絆住了。它責(zé)怪自己:”我真是悲哀啊! 我真是欺騙了自己??！我的腳本來可以救了我的，但我卻鄙視我的腳。我這么以我的犄角為傲，但是他卻毀了我!” 寓意：真正有價(jià)值的事物往往會被低估。 重要生詞： 1.admire [?d'ma??] vt. 欽佩；贊美 2.horn [h??n] n. 喇叭，號角；角 3.antler ['?ntl?] n. 鹿角，茸角；多叉鹿角 4.contemplate ['kɑnt?mplet] vt. 沉思；冥思苦想; 思忖 5.betake [b?'tek] vt. 使致力于；專心于 Betake yourself to your studies. 要專心于你自己的學(xué)習(xí)。 6.entangle [?n't??ɡl] vt. 使糾纏；卷入；使混亂 7.deceive [d?'siv] v. 欺騙；行騙 8.glory in 因…而欣喜；為…而自豪 9.destruction [d?'str?k??n] n. 破壞，毀滅；摧毀 10.underrated [,?nd?'reitid] adj. 低估 11.woe [wo] n. 悲哀，悲痛；災(zāi)難 重要語法點(diǎn)： Would have done ：表示對過去事情的假設(shè)，意思是“本來會做”。 比如： I would have told you all about the boy's story, but you didn't ask me. 我本來會告訴你這個(gè)小男孩的故事，但是你沒有問我。 對比聯(lián)想記憶單詞： value ['v?lju] vt. 評價(jià)；重視；估價(jià) overvalue 高估 undervalue 低估 estimate ['?st?,met] vi. 估計(jì)，估價(jià) overestimate 高估 underestimate 低估 rate [ret] vt. 認(rèn)為；估價(jià)；責(zé)罵 overrate 高估 underrate 低估 We should not overrate or underrate our ability. 我們不能高估或低估自己的能力。 有時(shí)記住一組單詞反比記住一個(gè)單詞更容易！ 歡迎關(guān)注微信公眾號：曲線英語 閱讀 1贊 投訴
