dispute:不知道什么意思,看上下文,猜是打赌或比较的意思,查字典是:争论,辩论.
traveler:翻译成旅行者或旅游者,是字面意思,看了你的答案,行人更准确.
come down，查字典是：下来, 下落;倒塌, 被拆除 ; 代代相传 ; 败落, 社会地位降低 ; 从大城市到小地方 ; 患病, 病倒 ; (降)落到(某人)头上的意思，感觉都不准确，所以翻译成“从路那边走过来。。
coat,知道是衣服的意思，但具体是什么衣服，忘了，于是简单翻译成衣服，确实不准确。
wrap,不知道什么意思,查词典的.
As the wind blew harder, the traveler wrapped his coat more closely around himself. 这句翻译漏了“越。。越”的意思

As the wind blew harder, the traveler wrapped his coat more closely around himself.
风则使上了吃奶的劲来吹那旅行者,那旅行者则把衣服裹得更紧了.

我个人人为已经把越 越的意思 翻译到家了

In the Eyes of the Beholder

A man who lost his axe suspected his neighbor’s son of stealing it. To him, as he observed the boy, the way he lad walked, the expression on his face, the manner of his speech-in fact everything about his appearance and behavior betrayed that he had stolen the axe.
Not long afterwards the man found his axe while digging in his cellar. When he saw his neighbor’s son again, nothing about the boy’s behavior nor appearance seemed to suggest that he had stolen the axe.

The lion in love

A lion once fell in love with a beautiful girl, so he went to her parents and asked them to marry her to him.
The old parents did not know what to say. They did not like the idea of giving their daughter to the lion, but they did not want to enrage the king of beasts.
At last the father said, "We are glad to marry our daughter to you, but we fear that you might possibly hurt her. So if you remove your claws and teeth, we will give her to you."
The lion loved the girl very much, so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth. When he came to the parents again, they simply laughed in his face, and beat him out of their house.

Tying a bell on the cat

Long ago, there was a big cat in the house. He caught many mice while they were stealing food. One day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. Some said this, and some said that. At last a young mouse got up, and said that he had a good idea. "We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat. Then when he comes near, we can hear the sound of the bell, and run away." Everyone approved of this proposal, but an old wise mouse got up and said, "That is all very well, but who will tie the bell to the cat?" The mice looked at each other, but nobody spoke.

The One-eyed Doe

A doe had lost one of her eyes, and could not see anyone approaching her from one side. In order to avoid any danger, she always ate on a high cliff near the sea, and looked at the land with her good eye when she was eating. By this means she could see whenever the hunters approached her on land. But one hunter found out that she was blind in one eye. He rowed a boat under the cliff, and shot her from the sea.

The fox and the lion

When the fox first saw the lion he was terribly frightened. He ran away, and hid himself in the woods.
The second time, however, he came near the lion. He stopped at a safe distance, and watched him pass by.
The third time they came near one another.
The fox went straight up to the lion, and stayed the whole day with him. He asked the lion how his family was, and when they would meet again. They soon became good friends.

The Old Man and Death

An old man was gathering sticks in a forest.
At last he grew very tired and hopeless. He threw down all the sticks and cried out, "I cannot bear this life any longer. Ah, I wish Death would come and take me!"
As he spoke, Death appeared, and said to him, "What would you do, old man? I heard you call me."
"Please, sir," replied the old man, "would you help me lift this bundle of sticks up to my shoulder?"

The man and his two wives

A middle-aged man had two wives. One was old, and the other was young. They both loved him very much.
Now the man's hair was turning grey. The young wife felt unhappy about this because it made him look too old. So every night she used to comb his hair and pick out the white ones.
But the elder wife was glad to see her husband growing grey, for she did not want to be mistaken for his mother. So every morning she used to comb his hair and pick out the black ones.
The consequence was that the man soon found himself entirely bald.
