内容摘要 The Goose with the Golden Eggs 生金蛋的鹅 原文欣赏 One morning a countryman went to his goose’s nest, and saw a yellow and glittering egg there. He took the egg home. ①To his delight, he found that it was an egg of pure gold. ②Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs. The countryman became more and more greedy(贪婪的). He wanted to get all the gold at once, so he killed the goose. When he looked inside, he found nothing in its body. 参考译文 一天早晨,一位农夫来到他家的鹅圈,他发现鹅圈中有一只金灿灿的蛋。他将蛋拿回屋,令他高兴的是他发现这是一个纯金的蛋。 每天早晨,同样的事情都会发生。不久,他靠卖金蛋变得富有起来。 农夫变得越来越贪婪,他想一下子得到鹅肚子中所有的金蛋。于是,他杀死了鹅,当他向鹅肚子中看时,什么也没有发现。 词汇集锦 ? countryman [ k?ntr?m?n] n. 乡下人 ? glittering [ ɡl?t?r??] adj. 闪闪发光的 ? delight [d? lɑ?t] n. 高兴 ? pure [pj??] adj. 纯的 ? gold [ɡ??ld] n. 金子 ? occur [? k??] v. 发生 ? rich [r?t?] adj. 富有的 ? more and more 越来越…… 例如:Bob became more and more furious. 鲍勃火气越来越大。 ? at once 立刻 例如:She says she must speak with you at once. 她说她必须立刻跟你谈谈。 结构梳理 ① To his delight, he found that it was an egg of pure gold. to one’s delight 意为“令某人高兴的是”。例如:To his delight, he can go abroad with his parents. 令他高兴的是,他可以和父母一起出国。 ② Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs. 这是一个并列句,其中第二句中的短语by selling his eggs指出他变富有的途径,即“卖他的金蛋”。 小试身手 1. The man soon became rich by . A. selling the gold eggs B. selling the goose C. killing the goose D. none of them 2. The man killed the goose because . A. the goose didn’t lay the gold eggs any more B. he didn’t want the gold eggs any more C. he wanted to get all the gold at once D. none of them Keys: 1. A 2. C 阅读感悟 这个故事与“杀鸡取卵”的故事异曲同工,都比喻做事情目光短浅,只顾眼前利益而不顾长远利益。 文化驿站 这个典故出自希腊《伊索寓言·生金蛋的鸡》,即我们所说的杀鸡取卵。比喻贪图眼前的一点好处,而损害长远的利益。与其同义的成语还有:饮鸩止渴、因小失大、竭泽而渔、得不偿失。
