一、用英语写一篇短小的神话故事
凤凰山的传说:
古时候,天帝有一个小女儿,她很贪玩,有一天,她想下人间玩儿,没等父亲允许,她就偷偷地变成一只凤凰飞出天庭,落在人间的大树上。这时,一个年轻的猎人看见了,便手持弓箭,把天帝的小女儿射伤了,凤凰跌落下来,年轻的猎人一看,慌了手脚,他不知道这是一只那么漂亮的鸟。
于是,年轻的猎人把天帝的女儿变成的凤凰带回了家。
猎人很好的对待她,一到晚上,猎人就筋疲力尽,躺在床上睡着了。这时,天帝的小女儿变成了人,躺在猎人旁边,猎人醒来后大吃一惊,不知道为什么一只凤凰变成了一位美人儿。
小女儿告诉了猎人一切,猎人更吃惊了,他不敢相信,昨天的凤凰就是天帝的女儿。不久,他们结为夫妻,一起劳动,决定白头偕老。他们幸福的生活在一起。
幸福的日子并不多,过了天上的一天(就是地上的一年),天帝很快就发现自己的小女儿不见了,大发雷霆,立刻派上士兵一起去把小女儿带回来。
天帝听说了两人的经过后,更加生气,马上派人把猎人给斩了,小女儿不同意,然而,士兵把她拦住,她过不去。无奈之下,化为凤凰,飞过去扑在猎人身上,越来越大,最后变成了一座山。后来的人就把它叫做凤凰山。
二、嫦娥奔月的英语故事
嫦娥奔月
相传,远古时候有一年,天上出现了十个太阳,直烤得大地冒烟,海水枯干,老百姓眼看无法再生活去。
这件事惊动了一个名叫后羿的英雄,他登上昆仑山顶,运足神力,拉开神弓,一气射下九个多余的太阳。
后羿立下盖世神功,受到百姓 的尊敬和爱戴,不少志士慕名前来投师学艺。奸诈刁钻、心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。
不久,后羿娶了个美丽善良的 妻子,名叫嫦娥。后羿除传艺狩猎外,终日和妻子在一起,人们都羡慕这对郎才女貌的恩爱夫妻。
一天,后羿到昆仑山访友求道,巧遇由此经过的王母娘娘,便向王母求得一包不死药。据说,服下此药,能即刻升天成仙。
然而,后羿舍不得撇下妻子,只好暂时把不死药交给嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥将药藏进梳妆台的百宝匣里,不料被蓬蒙看到了。
三天后,后羿率众徒外出狩猎,心怀鬼胎的蓬蒙假装生病,留了下来。
待后羿率众人走后不久,蓬蒙手持宝剑闯入内宅后院,威逼嫦娥交出不死药。
嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的对手,危急之时她当机立断,转身打开百宝匣,拿出不死药一口吞了下去。
嫦娥吞下药,身子立时飘离地面、冲出窗口,向天上飞去。由于嫦娥牵挂着丈夫,便飞落到离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。
傍晚,后羿回到家,侍女们哭诉了白天发生的事。后羿既惊又怒,抽剑去杀恶徒,蓬蒙早逃走了。气得后羿捶胸顿足哇哇大叫。悲痛欲绝的后羿,仰望着夜空呼唤爱妻的名字。这时他惊奇地发现,今天的月亮格外皎洁明亮,而且有个晃动的身影酷似嫦娥。
后羿急忙派人到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里,摆上香案,放上她平时最爱吃的蜜食鲜果,遥祭在月宫里眷恋着自己的嫦娥。
百姓们闻知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后,纷纷在月下摆设香案,向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。从此,中秋节拜月的风俗在民间传开了。
奔月的故事以鲜明的态度和绚丽的色彩歌颂、赞美了娥娥,与古文献有关嫦娥的记载相比较,可见人们对嫦娥奔月的故事做了很多加工,修饰,使娥娥的形象与月同美,使之符合人们对美的追求。 与现代流传甚广的“嫦娥奔月”相左,《全上古文》辑《灵宪》则记载了“嫦娥化蟾”的故事:“嫦娥,羿妻也,窃王母不死药服之,奔月。将往,枚占于有黄。有黄占之:曰:‘吉,翩翩归妹,独将西行,逢天晦芒,毋惊毋恐,后且大昌。’嫦娥遂托身于月,是为蟾蜍。”嫦娥变成癞蛤蟆后,在月宫中终日被罚捣不死药,过着寂寞清苦的生活,李商隐曾有诗感叹嫦娥:“嫦娥应悔偷灵药,碧海青天夜夜心。”

四、用英语讲一个神话故事
Add Feet
One day three men got a bottle of wine. But the wine was not enough for them three and each of them wanted to drink the wine alone. Then they all agreed that they each would draw a snake on the ground and the one who first finished drawing would be given the wine. So they began to draw on the ground with sticks.
It was not long before one of the three finished drawing his snake. He found the other two were still busy with their drawings.How slow you are ! said he, I can even add feet to my snake before you finish yours.
He put down the bottle and began to add feet to his snake. But before he finished, another man took hold of the bottle and said, I've finished. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a snake.With these words he drank up the wine.
添足
从前,有3个人得到一壶酒,但酒不够这3个人喝,而且他们每个人都想独自占有。他们决定在地上画蛇,先画好的人就喝这壶酒。于是他们就开始在地上用木棍画。
不一会儿,其中一个人先画好了,他发现另两人还未画完,就说:“你们真慢啊!在你们画完之前,我还能给蛇添上脚呢!”于是,他放下酒壶,开始给蛇添足。但脚未画完,另一人拿起酒壶说,“我已把蛇画好了,蛇本来没有脚,你怎能给它添脚呢?”说着,他把酒一饮而尽。
