篇1：童话故事英文
In the morning, and wind blowing a stream of face, the stream by the wind laugh, the smile of dimples. The fish quickly over the water, as if to say: “a new day started again!” Glittering and translucent dewdrop gliding across the face of the flowers that beautiful face, the rising of the sun rises from the horizon.
The small white rabbit came out from home, “wow! What a day!” Say that finish, to the mountain sheep home. Two friends to play how happy ah! Time really quick ah, soon to the dark, little lamb.

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。” 乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

篇3：童话故事英文
As a sub-genre of folklore,fairy tales were first recorded in12th–15th century and came into shape in the Christian era o patriarchy.Since the society entered the patriarchic dominance after a period of matriarchy,men have assumed control over every aspect of cultural life.Folklores,which reflect universa themes and concerns,are no exception.As Jack Zipes,a prolific and important writer on the genre,says:“folk and fairy tales share common roots with myth in their endeavor to explain natural occurrences and social customs”(qtd.in Sellers 12).And Susan Sellers,the author of Fairy Tales and the Arts of Subversion,also believes that fairy tales have the function to shape ou experience and understanding from our childhood years.When we think about the term“fairy tales”,we usually associate them with demeaned princesses,Princes Charming,and evil stepmothers,and often the stories are largely female-centered and female-targeted.They reflect the male dominant culture and serve not only as mere entertainment but also as one of culture's primary mechanisms to inculcate children---mostly girls---with the so-called appropriate roles and behaviors.In the process o reading,young girls are encouraged to identify themselves with the heroine,who is often a beautiful,degraded,obedient,and dependant maid passively waiting for her savior,usually a prince,to come and elevate her from her undeserved state.Subconsciously young girls may transfer the norms celebrated in fairy tales into real life cultural norms and take obedience,passivity,dependency,and sometimes even self-sacrifice as female cardinal virtues What's noteworthy is that the only women who have any sort o power in classic fairy tales are either wicked step-mothers o witches.These powerful,active,independent women have qualities which are not desirable for girls from a male's perspective and they will be eventually punished often by death through the hands of the saviors.In the same way,young boys are also influenced by fairy tales into believing that only certain qualities are important in women and they have to treat women as subordinate.They are in no way taught to treat women as equals or as significant Others,as Simone de Beauvoir describes in her book,The Second Sex,“she is not regarded as an autonomous being.[S]he is simply what man decrees…She is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her;she is the incidental,the inessential as opposed to the essential.He is the Subject,he is the Absolute–she is the Other”
We will arrive at a better understanding of the above words through the following analysis of Grimm Brothers'“Snow White”,“Cinderella”and Andersen's“Little Mermaid”,all well-known classic fairy tales which have been handed down for generations.They are good transmitters of the patriarchy social norms.To examine these selected fairy tales from the perspective of modern feminism is to revisualize those typical types of female description which shape our ideas about the“virtues of the female”.In this way,it can clearly show how fairy tales maintain and consolidate the patriarchal status quo by making female subordination seem like the romantically desirable.
2 Study of Demon type of Female Characters in
In most classic fairy tales,the heroine is a beautiful,degraded,obedient,and dependant maid passively waiting for her savior.However,some women do have power and take actions on their will in fairy tales.They are attractive,independent,and master of their own lives,but they are not virtuous women in the common sense.They are most often wicked stepmothers or witches,known as demons.They are women who have the power of speech and they determine what they should do according to their own will.They pose as a threat to men,and therefore,men want to diminish them.This is also a warning given to young girls,telling them that woman should not be ambitious or hold any desire for power or honorable positions.For a woman to hold a position of influence is intolerable to men.
This type of character often appears in middle-aged,evil villainous,and sexual images in fairy tales,including the wicked step-mother in“Snow White”and“Cinderella”and the monstrous sea-witch in“The Little Mermaid”.They are powerfu women defined by their dark power and evilness.In“Snow White”,the queen was a beautiful woman who owned a magic mirror that would tell her who the most beautiful woman was in the world.In“Cinderella”,the stepmother“had beautiful and fair features but nasty and wicked hearts”(Grimm 93).In“Litte Mermaid”,although the sea witch was not physically attractive there were a lot of sexual implications about her.For example“[b]eyond this stood her house,in the centre of a strange forest in which all the trees and flowers were polypi,half animals and half plants;they looked like serpents with a hundred heads growing out of the ground...marshy ground in the wood,where large fat water-snakes were rolling in the mire,and showing their ugly drab-colored bodies...There sat the sea witch,allowing a toad to eat from her mouth,just as people sometimes feed a canary with a piece of sugar.She called the ugly water-snakes her little chickens,and allowed them to crawl all over her great spongy breasts”(Andersen 93).The images of serpent,snakes and toad all have sexual implications according to the traditional western culture.The serpent represents female sexual temptation which is attractive as well as destructive.The dark power is fatal to men Against the angel type's beauty,which is pure and not sexual a all,the demon's sexuality,like that of Medusa's head,is a destructive power to men.In both“Snow White”and“Cinderella”the stepmother enters the house and then she is in control of everything.The poor father just fades away ever after the entrance of the stepmother.He is unable to protect his little girl from the vicious stepmother.The older woman uses her overt sexuality to master everyone under the roof,especially the pre-adolescen former wife's orphan.As time passes by,the little orphan grows up and her sexuality is about to emerge.In“Snow White”,i says that“[i]n the meantime,Snow White grew up,and became more and more beautiful.By the time she was seven years old she was as beautiful as the day is clear and more beautiful than the queen herself.One day when the queen asked her mirror“Mirror,mirror,on the wall,who in this realm is the fairest o all?”The mirror said:“You,my queen,may have a beauty quite rare,but Little Snow White is a thousand times more fair.”The queen shuddered,yellow and green with envy.From that hour on her hate for the girl was so great that her heart throbbed and turned in her breast each time she saw Snow White.Like weeds the envy and arrogance grew so dense in her heart that she no longer had any peace,day or night”(Grimm 214).
From this excerpt,we can see the persecution of the adolescent stems directly from the new stepmother's sexual jealousies As beauty is a fundamental request for women,the princes in the fairy tales do not fall in love with the maiden until“she had washed herself and put on the beautiful clothing,she was as beautiful as a rose washed in dew”(Grimm 96).Beauty is,perhaps,the most powerful as well as the only weapon that women own.Being beautiful is the only way to make the prince fall in love with the maiden,and therefore,elevate her from the limbo and insignificance of her life.So when the adolescent's innocent beauty becomes a threat to the middle-aged woman's sexual beauty,she would do anything she can to be the fairest of all.In other words they are guilty of ambition,an attribute men dislike about women not to say that she also possesses the tool of being powerful(the magic mirror of the queen's and the witchcraft the sea witch owns)or in the position of being powerful(the stepmother's arbitrariness in the household).After the young maiden is maltreated by the wicked woman,men will appear to punish the wicked woman and at the same time,win the young girl's love as her savior.
From the tales of stepmothers and witches,young girls get the impression that beautiful,powerful women can not be trusted.Men let women doubt,challenge and fight among themselves.They diminish the strength of solidarity of women so that they can easily control each one.Another point can also explain why the middle-aged woman wants so badly to destroy the young girl but finally gets defeated by the prince.The young girl's maturation signals the aging stepmother's declining sexual attractiveness and control.In retaliation,the aging stepmothers jealously torment the more beautiful virgin adolescents who capture people's attention and affection and threaten their own position.Snow White's stepmother in Grimm's recounting plots against the seven-year-old child who"was as bright as the day,and fairer than the queen herself…was so beautiful,that she surpassed even the queen herself"(Grimm 214).The stepmother,who invariably appears odious,embodies the major obstacles against the adolescent‘s passage to womanhood because of her overt sexuality and authority.So the evil stepmothers must be overcome.
3 Conclusion
To sum up,all fairy tales reflect and help shape the culture of their nation and race.The ostensibly innocuous fairy tales send out basic patriarchal social prescriptions.They are not just entertaining fantasies,but powerful transmitters of patriarchal canon.Women are labeled by men into two types.The wicked middle-aged women in the fairy tales are the demon type.They are powerful,attractive,independent,and able to master others.These attributes make them repulsive in a man's eyes.So without exception,the demon type is portrayed as immoral and evil by nature.The demon's sexuality has a destructive power to men,so she poses a threat to the men,as a woman holding a position of influence is wrong in a patriarchal society.Therefore,men want to diminish them and do this in a killing two birds with one stone way.The young prince always appears in time to end the stepmother's persecution of the young maiden and plays the role of a savior as well as the role of the power-defender.This is also a warning given to young girls,implicating to them that woman should not be ambitious or desire for power.These“musts”and“must nots”will certainly help us better understand the classic fairy tales and lead us to the discovery of more stereotypes about female suppression and to a fuller awareness of women's position and value in the century-old patriarchy culture.
摘要：作为民间传说的一种,经典童话承载着男权社会的道德标准和社会习惯。根据女权主义作家西蒙娜·德·波伏娃的理论,经典童话中的女性形象被分成两种典型:天使形象和恶魔形象。该文着重描述了恶魔形象的特点,以及男性对这种形象的排斥和诋毁。经典童话中恶魔形象的代表往往最终被击败,使得男性获得安全感进而达到维护稳固男权社会的目的。

讲述： 雨珂妈妈， 女儿14个月
预习几遍，扫尽生词
在给孩子引荐一本英文童书前，我会先预习几遍，扫尽生词，确定发音。这样做，一来不会影响阅读的乐趣，更重要的是，我希望在英文阅读的过程中能给孩子传递准确的信息。
有一本书《How Do DinosaursSay Good Night ？》(《恐龙是怎样道晚安的？》)，里面有十多种恐龙的单词，我是第一次见到，而且那些单词都很长。我查了它们的正确发音，自己先学会了，念流利了，然后才给宝宝读。
在生活场景中应用
书读过后， 其实还有很多事情可做。比如，那本《We’v e a l lgot bellybuttons》（《我们都有肚脐眼》），原文中有：“We’ve got earsand so do you, We can pull them, canyou ？”（“我们有耳朵，你也有。我们可以拉拉耳朵，你可以吗？”）“We’ve got hands and so do you. We canclap them, can you？” （“我们有手，你也有。我们可以拍拍手，你可以吗？”）平时和孩子玩时，我就会跟她一起边说边做，在日常生活中把这些句子真正用起来。
把童书当做玩具
即便在念给她听的过程中，也可以不失时机地加入动作，宝宝更喜欢这样的“阅读游戏”。比如在讲《Good Night Moon》（《月亮，晚安》）时，有一句“a quiet old lady whisperinghush…”我每次念到这句时都会把手放到嘴边，特别夸张地拖长“sh——”。宝宝也学着把手放嘴边来模仿这个动作。我高兴地亲她一下，她模仿得就更起劲了，这本书也轻轻松松地被孩子消化了。
我的体会：
从女儿出生，我就很注意培养她的阅读习惯，英文阅读的加入变得非常自然。在和宝宝一起读英文书的时候，我并不在乎她到底理解了多少，只要她觉得高兴，感受到了和妈妈一起做阅读游戏的快乐就够了。而且，每天花一点时间陪着她阅读，静静地享受这种安祥的氛围，让我觉得很幸福。
自然地爱上书
讲述：逗逗妈, 女儿2 岁10个月
大学的时候曾学过一些语言习得的理论，记得有一本书写到，只要孩子有语言环境，不断接触一种语言，他就能无意识地习得这种语言，而不是“学习”一种语言。
生孩子之后，偶然看了R u b i e父母写的《宝贝比我强》，更坚定了我在生活中对孩子说英语、给她看英文书的决心，并开始尝试。
我的孩子性格属于比较好动的，很难坐得住。一年多以来，除了断断续续地坚持对她说英语以外，从2 岁左右开始，基本上坚持每天晚上睡前跟孩子一起看15 分钟的英文童书。慢慢地，一到上床时间，孩子就自己去选书。
这期间她最喜欢看的是小本的手掌书，比如《A ROOKIE READER》。那时候孩子的日常会话基本没问题了，能听懂，但很少开口说。但是读到：“Let's touch ice. Ice is cold.”（“摸一摸冰，冰是凉的。”）她就站在小凳子上到冰箱里去拿冰块，然后看着冰在手里融化成水，说:“Iceis dripping. Ice is fun!” （“冰化了，真好玩！”） 当时的感觉真是非常好，终于看到了这种潜移默化的效果。
我的体会：
1．最好能固定一个人专门给孩子讲英语故事。
2．选择孩子容易理解的英文故事书，难度控制掌握i ( 现在的语言理解水平) +1，太难了，超出孩子的理解水平，孩子很容易失去兴趣。
3．重复，语言学习的窍门就是重复。
4．坚持，再坚持，贵在持之以恒。
送给孩子一副听英文的“耳朵”
讲述：清清妈，儿子6 岁半
清清6 岁半了， 没有考过级，甚至没有正儿八经地上过牛津、剑桥之类的英语培训。可是他喜欢英语，能用英语写简短的日记，自己拼读简单的英文书，与老外交流也毫不发怵。作为英文口语水平并不高的父母，我们所做的，是从送给他一副听英语的“耳朵”开始。
选书
最早是从那些文字压韵而短小，图画清晰可爱的书开始的。曾经有一本《Tiny Tiger》, 清清非常喜欢，我觉得就是那种压韵而短小的语音吸引了他——即使妈妈的语音不完美，宝宝都觉得很好听，我想这就够了。
阅读
因为从小就开始讲，清清认为读英文书是很自然的一件事，他不排斥英文书，也很少会要求用中文来念。童书里的大部分文字他看图就能猜出来，猜不出的，念完句子解释一次就可以了。
这种读法有点像我们大人的“泛读”，能猜出语意就可以。我不主张用中文考孩子，一定要让他说出这个词怎么念，那个词是什么意思，阅读的乐趣荡然无存。
我的体会：
很多父母希望教孩子读和写英文的方法，可我觉得，读字、写字的方法和技巧很容易掌握，难的是保证孩子对书的热忱和兴趣。
我的目标是让孩子喜欢英文，认为讲英文是很正常的一件事，所以我只管不间断地帮孩子念英文故事书，在不知不觉中帮他练就语言学习的“童子功”，那就是我们送给他的最好的礼物！
小结：英文童书这样讲
借鉴我们学母语的方式。从孩子呱呱落地到会开口说话，少则一年半，多则两年，而真正能够无碍地表达，则要到三四岁了。一听二说三读四写，是人类学母语的次序，也是任何语言学习的自然法则。
重要的是让孩子爱上书。给还不懂英文的孩子读英文故事，首先要做到的就是让孩子一下子爱上这本书，明白这本书的作者、画家要传达出来的信息。为此我们应该先做些“功课”。刚开始可以先从人物的名字入手，用英文替换中文，然后慢慢把重点的动词、形容词的意思解释给孩子听，最后过渡到简单的句子，逐步地达到让孩子接受大人完全用英文读给他听的程度。
关于双语书。英文部分最好能按书念，维持原汁原味（当然英文能力很好不在此限之内），中文翻译的部分，很重要的原则是，不要拘泥英文的逐字翻译，先了解整句的意思，再用中文说出来。尽量口语、自然，不要让孩子疑惑：爸妈怎么说得怪怪的。
最重要的一点：愉悦。其实，无论哪种语言的亲子阅读，首先都应该追求一种愉快的感觉。如果父母本身对英语不感兴趣或者很吃力，刻意地让孩子进行双语阅读，对父母来说是就会成为一种负担。理想的状态是，把它当做亲子共度美好时光的一种方式，而这段时光带给孩子的不是只有英文，还有那些滋润人类心灵的一个又一个故事。
篇5：关于英文童话故事精选
The Fox and the Crow
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. ‘That’s for me, as I am a Fox,’ said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,’ he cried. ‘How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.’ The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. ‘That will do,’ said he. ‘That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future .’Do not trust flatterers.
一次，一个狐狸看到一只乌鸦嘴里衔着一块奶酪飞过并停在了树枝上。“那是给我的，因为我是一只狐狸。”狐狸说道，然后便走到树脚边。“早安，乌鸦女主人,”他哭着说“你今天看上去很好，你的羽毛很有光泽，你的眼睛也闪着光芒，我相信你的歌喉一定比其他鸟儿都好，就像你的羽毛一样;请让我聆听你的歌声，仅仅一首，也许我会把你尊为鸟中之后。”乌鸦听了很高兴，于是就开始展现自己最棒的一面，但是正当她张开嘴，那块奶酪就落到了地上，没想到竟被狐狸抢走了。“行了,”他说道“那是我想要的。那就用这奶酪交换一条对你未来的建议吧。”不要相信奉承者。
【The Old Cat】
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, “Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young.”
【译文】
老猫
一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。
篇6：格林童话故事英文
The straw said, ”Dear friends, where do you come from?“
The coal answered, ”I jumped from the fireplace, to my good fortune. If I had not forced my way out, I surely would have died. I would have burned to ash.“
The bean said, ”I too saved my skin. If the old woman had gotten me into the pot I would have been cooked to mush without mercy, just like my comrades.“
”Would my fate have been any better?“ said the straw. ”The old woman sent all my brothers up in fire and smoke. She grabbed sixty at once and killed them. Fortunately I slipped through her fingers.“
”What should we do now?“ asked the coal.
”Because we have so fortunately escaped death,“ answered the bean, ”I think that we should join together as comrades. To prevent some new misfortune from befalling us here, let us together make our way to another land.“
This proposal pleased the other two, and they set forth all together.
They soon came to a small brook, and because there was neither a bridge nor a walkway there, they did not know how they would get across it.
Then the straw had a good idea, and said, ”I will lay myself across it, and you can walk across me like on a bridge.“
So the straw stretched himself from one bank to the other. The coal, who was a hot-headed fellow, stepped brashly onto the newly constructed bridge, but when he got to the middle and heard the water rushing beneath him, he took fright, stopped, and did not dare to go any further. Then the straw caught fire, broke into two pieces, and fell into the brook. The coal slid after him, hissed as he fell into the water, and gave up the ghost.
The bean who had cautiously stayed behind on the bank had to laugh at the event. He could not stop, and he laughed so fiercely that he burst. Now he too would have died, but fortunately a wandering tailor was there, resting near the brook. Having a compassionate heart, he got out a needle and thread and sewed the bean back together.
