中考英语:狐假虎威(ATigerinTow)A tiger was looking for food in a large forest when a fox ran by. The tiger sprang forward and caught it. The fox was frightened, but it had an idea in a blink. “You dare not eat me.“ it said. “Why?“ the tiger asked. “I was sent by God to rule all the animals. If you eat me, you”re disobeying the God”s order. Then you”re not a good animal.“ The tiger was silent, thinking whether it was true that the fox had been sent the god. Seeing the tiger still in doubt, the fox said seriously, “ If you don”t think what I said is not true, I can take you to see all the animals. I”ll walk in front and you follow me. Let”s see if all of them are afraid of me.“ So the fox led the tiger into the forest. It was true that all the animals, such as deer, sheep, rabbits and so on, ran away as soon as they saw them. Thus the fox borrowed the tiger”s terror and showed its authority before the animals. But tiger did not know that all the animals ran away only because they were afraid of itself. The story tells us that there is always someone who tries to swagger about in borrowed plumes. 狐假虎威 在茂盛的大森林里,有一只老虎正在查找食物。
突然,一只狐狸从它身边窜过,老虎猛扑过去,把它抓住了 狡猾的狐狸心里非常可怕,可是它眼珠一转,想出了个花招,就故作冷静地对老虎说:“你不敢吃我!“ “为什么?“老虎问 “我是天帝派来治理百兽的吃了我,就是违背天帝的命令,就是大逆不道!“ 老虎听了不禁愣住了,心想:狐狸奉天帝之命,来治理百兽,是真的吗?正值老虎半信半疑的时候,狐狸煞有介事地说:“假如你不信任我的话,我可以带着你到百兽面前走一趟我在前面走,你跟在后面,看它们是不是怕我 于是,狐狸和老虎一前一后朝森林中走去森林里各种各样、大大小小的野兽,比方小鹿啦,羚羊啦,兔子啦,观察狐狸身后的老虎,都吓得四处逃跑 就这样,狐狸借着老虎在百兽面前威严了一次可是老虎还不知道上了狐狸的当,不知道是自己吓跑了百兽,还以为它们真的是可怕狐狸呢! 这个故事是说:有些人凭借别人的权势处处招摇撞骗,欺压弱小 。
