寓言故事是文學(xué)體裁的一種。含有諷喻或明顯教訓(xùn)意義的故事。它的結(jié)構(gòu)簡短，多用借喻手法，使富有教訓(xùn)意義的主題或深刻的道理在簡單的故事中體現(xiàn)。以下是小編為大家收集的一篇題為一個守財奴的故事。供大家參考閱讀。希望喜歡。
一個守財奴的故事
Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.
One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.
He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him. He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.
"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."
從前，有個守財奴將他的金塊埋到一棵樹下，每周他都去把他挖出來看看。
一天晚上，一個小偷挖走了所有的金塊。 守財奴再來查看時，發(fā)現(xiàn)除了一個空洞什么都沒有了。
守財奴便捶胸痛哭。哭聲引來了鄰居，他告訴他們這里原來有他的金塊。
問明了原因后，一個鄰居問："你使用過這些金塊嗎?" "沒用過，" 他說，"我只是時常來看看。""那么，以后再來看這個洞，"鄰居說，"就像以前有金塊時一樣。"
伊索寓言守財奴
原文：
A Miser, to make sure of his property, sold all that he had had converted it into a great lump of gold, which he hid in a hole in the ground, and went continually to visit and inspect it. This roused the curiosity of one of his workmen, who, suspecting that there was a treasure, when his masters back was turned went to the spot and stole it away. When the Miser returned and found the place empty, he wept and tore his hair. But a neighbor who saw him in this extravagant grief, and learned the cause of it, said: "Fret thyself no longer, but take a stone and put it in the same place, and think that it is your lump of gold; for, as you never meant to use it, the one will do you as much gold as the other." The worth of money is not in its possession, but in its use.
譯文：
一個守財奴，為了確保他的財產(chǎn)，賣掉所有家當(dāng)換成了一大塊金子，埋在一個地洞里，并且不時地去查看，這引起了手下一個雇工的好奇。雇工猜測那里肯定有寶貝，趁主人離開之際，他來到埋藏地點，把金子偷走了。當(dāng)守財奴回來發(fā)現(xiàn)金子不翼而飛，便痛哭流涕，亂撮頭發(fā)。一個鄰人見狀問明原由后說“你也別太痛苦了，拿一塊石頭再埋在原地，就當(dāng)是那塊金子好了，因為既然你永遠(yuǎn)不想用它，那么兩者不是一回事嗎”。 金錢的價值不在于擁有，而在于使用。
