用英语讲寓言小故事——The Crow and the Fox 乌鸦和狐狸

在一个美丽的森林里，一只聪明的乌鸦找到了一块肉。

In a beautiful forest, a clever crow found a piece of meat.

它叼着肉，飞到一棵高高的树上，准备好好享用这顿美味。

It flew to a tall tree with the meat in its mouth, ready to enjoy the delicious meal.

就在这时，一只狡猾的狐狸看见了乌鸦和它嘴里的肉。

Just then, a cunning fox saw the crow and the meat in its mouth.

狐狸也非常想吃那块肉，于是它走到树下，想了一个坏主意。

The fox also wanted to eat the meat very much, so he walked under the tree and thought of a bad idea.

狐狸对乌鸦说：“亲爱的乌鸦小姐，你的羽毛真是太美了！我听说你的歌声也非常动听，能不能唱一首歌给我听呢？”

The fox said to the crow, "Dear Miss Crow, your feathers are so beautiful! I heard that you have a very beautiful singing voice, too. Can you sing a song for me?"

乌鸦听了，心里很高兴，想要给狐狸展示一下它的歌喉。

The crow was very happy when he heard this, and wanted to show off his singing skills to the fox.

于是，乌鸦张开嘴巴，刚要唱歌，肉就掉到了地上。

So the crow opened its beak and was about to sing when the meat fell to the ground.

狐狸迅速叼起肉，笑着说：“谢谢你的肥肉，乌鸦小姐。记住，不要轻信那些拍马屁的话。”

The fox quickly picked up the meat and said with a smile, "Thank you for the fat meat, Miss Crow. Remember, don't believe those flattering words."

乌鸦非常后悔，但已经来不及了。

The crow regretted it very much, but it was too late.

它明白了一个重要的道理：不要因为别人的好话而失去自己的判断。

It understands an important truth: don't lose your own judgment because of other people's good words.
