亡羊补牢的故事英文：
Once upon a time, someone raised a sheep. One morning, he found a sheep missing. After careful examination, he found that the sheepfold had broken a hole. At night, the wolf came in and took one of the sheep. The neighbour advised him, "Repair the sheepfold and plug the hole!" The man refused to accept the advice and answered, "What's the sheep doing when they've lost it?"
The next morning, he found another sheep missing. Originally, the wolf came in from the hole and took a sheep. He regretted that he had not listened to his neighbour's advice, so he quickly blocked the hole and repaired the sheepfold. Since then, wolves can no longer get into the sheepfold to catch sheep.
亡羊补牢的故事中文：
从前，有人养了一圈羊。一天早晨，他发现少了一只羊，仔细一查，原来羊圈破了个窟窿，夜间狼钻进来，把羊叼走了一只。邻居劝他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上窟窿吧！”那个人不肯接受劝告，回答说：“羊已经丢了，还修羊圈干什么？”
第二天早上，他发现羊又少了一只。原来，狼又从窟窿中钻进来，叼走了一只羊。他很后悔自己没有听从邻居的劝告，便赶快堵上窟窿，修好了羊圈。从此，狼再也不能钻进羊圈叼羊了。

亡羊补牢的出处：
亡羊补牢出自西汉·刘向《战国策·楚策四》。
《战国策》是中国古代的一部历史学名著。它是一部国别体史书（《国语》是第一部）又称《国策》。主要记载战国时期谋臣策士纵横捭阖（bǎi hé）的斗争。全书按东周、西周、秦国、齐国、楚国、赵国、魏国、韩国、燕国、宋国、卫国、中山国依次分国编写，分为12策，33卷，共497篇。
《战国策》是我国古代记载战国时期政治斗争的一部最完整的著作。它实际上是当时纵横家〔即策士〕游说之辞的汇编，而当时七国的风云变幻，合纵连横，战争绵延，政权更迭，都与谋士献策、智士论辩有关，因而具有重要的史料价值。
