英語(yǔ)故事：諾巴斯的葡萄園

　　Once upon a time, there was a man named Naboth, who had a very nice vineyard. He inherited the vineyard from his father, he got a lot of money from it.

　　One day the king passed by the vineyard, he found the yard was so beautiful that he wanted to have it. So he went to Naboth and asked, "Would you sell the whole vineyard to me? I can pay you some money." "I'm very sorry. It is a heritage of my family, I can't give it to you at any price," said Naboth. The king told her the story. The queen said, "You forget you are the king! Let me teach you how get it. You can make Naboth an office, then find an excuse and sentence him to death." The king did what the queen said, Naboth died and the king got the vineyard.

　　When God learned about this, he was very angry and said, "The king must be eaten by dogs, and the queen must be eaten by big birds. They are not good people, they take the things which are not theirs." At last, people found the king and the queen were dead when they went out for a picenic.

　　從前，有一個(gè)人，名叫諾巴斯。他從父親那里繼承了葡葡園，并且靠葡葡園掙了很多錢(qián)。

　　一天，國(guó)王從葡萄園經(jīng)過(guò)，他看見(jiàn)了這個(gè)非常標(biāo)亮的葡萄園，很想得到它。于是，他去問(wèn)同諾巴斯，“能把這個(gè)葡萄園全部賣(mài)給我嗎？我可以給你錢(qián)。”“很遺憾。這個(gè)葡萄園是我的親人傳給我的遺產(chǎn)，無(wú)論多少錢(qián)，我都不能賣(mài)。”國(guó)王回去了，他很不高興。王后同他，“出了什么事？”國(guó)王把這件事告訴了她。王后說(shuō)，“你忘了你是國(guó)王！讓我來(lái)教你怎么辦。你可以給諾巴斯一個(gè)官當(dāng)，然后找一個(gè)借口判他死刑。”國(guó)王照著王后的話做了，諾巴斯死了以后，國(guó)王得到了葡萄園。

　　后來(lái)，神知道了這件事，他非常生氣地說(shuō)，“國(guó)王必須被狗吃掉，王后必須被大鳥(niǎo)吃掉。因?yàn)樗麄儾皇呛萌?，他們拿了本不屬于自己的東西。”后來(lái)，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)了國(guó)王和王后的尸體，他們是在郊游的時(shí)時(shí)候死去的。
