『貳』 有什麼英語短篇小說推薦
1. 「A Good Man is Hard to Find,」 Flannery O』Connor
Few short stories have stuck with us as much as this one, which is probably O'Connor's most famous work — and with good reason. The Misfit is one of the most alarming serial killers we've ever met, all the more so for his politeness, and the story』s moral is so striking and terrifying that — whether you subscribe to the religious undertones or not — a reader is likely to finish and begin to reexamine their entire existence. Or at least we did, the first time we read it.
《好人難尋》這篇小說是奧康納最為著名的作品，很少有其他短篇小說能像這篇一樣給我們帶來震撼。無論你是否能明了宗教般的潛在含義，看完這篇小說讀者都會開始或是結束對存在的檢視。
2. 「The School,」 Donald Barthelme
This story is very short, but pretty much perfect in every way. Though Barthelme is known for his playful, post modern style, we admire him for his ability to shape a world so clearly from so few words, chosen expertly. Barthelme never over explains, never uses one syllable too many, but effortlessly leads the reader right where he wants her to be. It's funny, it's absurdist, it's sad, it's enormous even in its smallness. It may be this writer』s favorite story of all time. You should read it.
這篇小說很短，但是堪稱完美。巴塞爾姆的優秀就在於他能用精選的極少幾個文字就為我們敘述了一個世界。他很少過多地解釋，就把讀者帶到了他想要你去地方。
3. 「In The Penal Colony,」 Franz Kafka
Kafka called this one his「dirty story,」and thought it imperfect, but it's one of our favorites of his (though we also recommend 「The Hunger Artist」and「A Country Doctor」). It's so obviously a story about writing, in some ultimate way — a machine punishes its victims by writing on them over and over until their bodies give out — but its as if, while the body is the source of every problem in the tale, every weakness, it is also the only place where true knowledge can be translated.
卡夫卡稱自己的這篇小說是一個「很臟的故事」，認為並不完美，但是這個短篇確實我們的最愛之一。在小說中，我們可以體會到，身體是一切問題和弱點的根源，但身體也是唯一能轉化真知的地方。
4. 「Signs and Symbols,」Vladimir Nabokov
Another short one, we revere this story for its ability to turn every tiny detail into a portentous disaster, not to mention the fact that it's penned in Nabokov's effortlessly gorgeous, silvery prose. An old Jewish couple goes to visit their son in the mental hospital, only to be turned away because he has attempted to kill himself. And that's it, really. They go home and look though a photo album, eat some jam. The phonerings. But the whole thing is, perhaps, both a comment on the nature of insanity and the nature of the short story itself, with all its rules and strangeness and banality. And all its symbols, of course.
我們喜歡這篇小說的原因就在於，這個故事有能力把每個細微的細節瞬間變為一場災難，而Nabokov在寫這篇小說用的是輕松華麗水銀瀉地般的散文風格。
5. 「Gooseberries,」 Anton Chekhov
Chekhov's stories are indisputably among the greats, and this one, written rather late, is one of our favorites. Chekhov probes at both the frailty and the worth of humanity, not to mention the natureof life, both for the fortunate and the unfortunate. But like most of Chekhov's stories, there's no clear moral, there's no obvious takeaway. Some men sit around and discuss their thoughts, and we listen, mulling over the subtleties for ourselves.
契科夫的小說無疑是最偉大的作品之一，而這篇是我們的最愛。這篇小說像他的其他小說一樣，沒有清晰的道德標准，我們只是靜靜地看著幾個人圍坐著，討論他們的思想。
6. 「Sea Oak,」 George Saunders
「Sea Oak」 is Saunders's favorite of his own stories, we've heard, so because we find it so hard to choose among them, we've included it here on his own recommendation. Absurdist and satirical, and including at least one zombie shouting at her housemates to get laid, it's a weird one. But it's also concerned with placelessness, with family, with poverty, and like all of Saunders's stories, has a good, thumping heart under all that darkness and fun-poking.
這部小說是桑德斯最為喜愛的一步短篇，這也是我們聽說的。因為我們很難做出選擇，因此就把他自己的推介放在了這里。這部小說充滿了荒誕和諷刺，但是也關心家庭和貧窮等問題。像他的其他小說一樣，在黑暗和取笑中，也暗含著美好和快樂。
7. 「The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,」 Ursula K. LeGuin
LeGuin's parabolic tale, which won the Hugo Award for best short story in 1974, is a weird, spacious story about a city that seems to be a utopia — except for its one flaw, the single child that must always be kept in darkness and wretched misery so that the others may all live happily. Most of the citizens eventually accept this, but some do not, and silently leave the city, vanishing into the world around. Strange but pointed, Le Guin is a master of her genre.
勒古這部寓言般的短篇小說獲得過1974年的「雨果獎」，是關於一個類似烏托邦的城市的荒誕又宏大的故事。
8. 「The Veldt,」 Ray Bradbury
This tale, from one of the greatest science fiction writers in history, is deliciously wicked. Though it was written in 1950, this kind of story — of children driven mad by want, of technology turning on its masters — will never get old. Until technology actually turns on us, that is. Then we probably won't want to hear about it.
布萊伯利作為歷史上最富盛名的科幻小說家，這篇小說也是通過精心編寫的。
9. 「The Bear Came Over the Mountain,」 Alice Munro
The undisputed queen of the short story, Alice Munro』s work is stark and often heartbreakingly raw, and this story of memory loss and the aching tenderness of human interaction is no different. Fun fact: this story was adapted into the film 「Away from Her」, starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent.
門羅是毫無爭議的短篇小說女王，她的作品有一種朴實風格，常常帶著心跳般的粗獷，這篇關於喪失記憶以及人類互動中的痛苦和柔弱的小說也不例外。
10. 「The Nose,」 Nikolai Gogol
Gogol might be the oldest writer on this list, but he』s also one of the weirdest — in a good way. Nabokov once wrote, 「In Gogol…the absurd central character belongs to the absurd world around him but, pathetically and tragically, attempts to struggle out of it into the world of humans — and dies in despair.」 What else can an absurd noseless man do, after all?
果戈里應該是這個書單上最久遠的作家了，但是他也是最荒誕的小說家之一。納博科夫曾近這樣寫道：「在果戈里的作品中，荒誕的人物屬於他周圍荒誕的世界，但是卻可憐兮兮且悲慘地要逃離他的世界，最終死於絕望」。
『叄』 國外經典勵志小說推薦
經典的小說是非常多的，很多國外的小說是值得我們去品讀的。下面我就來為大家推薦的國外經典勵志小說，歡迎參閱!
國外經典勵志小說
1、《小王子》
作者:[法]聖埃克蘇佩里
原作名:LePetitPrince
每一次讀《小王子》，都被這種孩子式的看待世界的態度感動，多麼天真、幼稚，可愛又純潔、真誠。在現實生活中，我們整天忙忙碌碌，像一群群沒有靈魂的蒼蠅，喧鬧著，躁動著，聽不到靈魂深處真誠的低語。時光流逝，童年遠去，我們漸漸長大，歲月帶走了許許多多的記憶，也消蝕了心底曾經擁有的那份童稚的純真。我們沉溺於人世浮華，專注於利益法則，我們不顧心靈的沉重的桎梏，可是愈如此，愈體驗到人生意義的虛無。不少現代派的作品，裡面充滿了慾望、異化和夢魘，這些對世界險惡真實的寫照，看得人心裡充滿了卑瑣失望。但是，每次讀一遍《小王子》，就好像在清水中洗了個澡一般，心又重新變得剔透明亮了。
2、《解憂雜貨店》
作者:(日)東野圭吾
原作名:ナミヤ雑貨店の奇跡
現代人內心流失的東西，這家雜貨店能幫你找回——
僻靜的街道旁有一家雜貨店，只要寫下煩惱投進卷簾門的投信口，第二天就會在店後的牛奶箱里得到回答。
因男友身患絕症，年輕女孩靜子在愛情與夢想間徘徊;克郎為了音樂夢想離家漂泊，卻在現實中寸步難行;少年浩介面臨家庭巨變，掙扎在親情與未來的迷茫中……
他們將困惑寫成信投進雜貨店，隨即奇妙的事情竟不斷發生。
生命中的一次偶然交會，將如何演繹出截然不同的人生?
如今回顧寫作過程，我發現自己始終在思考一個問題：站在人生的岔路口，人究竟應該怎麼做?我希望讀者能在掩卷時喃喃自語：我從未讀過這樣的小說。——東野圭吾
3、《追風箏的人》
作者:[美]卡勒德·胡賽尼
原作名:TheKiteRunner
《追風箏的人》講述了溫情與殘酷，美麗與苦難，它不僅僅展示了一個人的心靈成長史，也展示了一個民族的靈魂史，一個國家的苦難史。這部小說流暢自然，就像一條清澈的河流，卻奔騰著人性的激情，蘊含著阿富汗這個古老民族豐富的靈魂，激盪著善與惡的潛流撞擊。因為這部書，讓世界了解了一個遭受戰火蹂躪的、默默無聞的阿富汗民族，這才是文學的魅力，也是這部小說的藝術魅力。但是這部小說不僅如此，他所以能夠吸引不同民族、國家的讀者，撼動讀者內心纖細的情感，那就是關於人性和人性的拯救問題，這也是現代人類面臨的共同話題。其實，這部小說的珍貴品質，人性的救贖是這部小說的核心價值。
4、《世界上所有的奇跡》
作者:[美]傑森·莫特
本書講述了一段奇異的青春故事，一場空難讓少女艾娃發現自己可以療愈傷勢的超能力，於是她成了小鎮的名人，找她療傷的人接踵而來。在治癒他人的過程中，她發現每施用一次超能力其實就是在消耗自己的健康。不能冷酷地拒絕病人的懇切請求，也無法忍受自己為治療別人而死去，艾娃想要逃跑，在好友沃什幫助下，她實施著計劃，並對沃什產生了愛戀，就在這時，她發現沃什其實病入膏肓，而治癒他就要付出自己的生命，我該何去何從?艾娃心裡發出這樣的疑問。
5、《擺渡人》
作者:[英]克萊兒·麥克福爾
原作名:Ferryman
單親女孩迪倫，15歲的世界一片狼藉：與母親總是無話可說，在學校里經常受到同學的捉弄，唯一談得來的好友也因為轉學離開了。這一切都讓迪倫感到無比痛苦。
她決定去看望久未謀面的父親，然而，路上突發交通事故。等她拚命爬出火車殘骸之後，卻驚恐地發現，自己是唯一的倖存者，而眼前，竟是一片荒原。
此時，迪倫看到不遠處的山坡上一個男孩的身影。
男孩將她帶離了事故現場。但是，迪倫很快意識到，男孩並不是偶然出現的路人，他似乎是特意在此等候。
命運，從他們相遇的那刻開始，發生了無法預料的轉變……
美國必讀的經典小說
1.《永別了，武器》
海明威結合了“自覺地光禿”風格與自己在一戰時救護車司機的經驗，寫出來的小說馬上就走紅了。
《永別了，武器》出版於1929年，不僅重現了10年前剛結束的戰爭沖突，也講述了一個浪漫故事。百利天下留學專家介紹，可悲的是，這個愛情故事跟戰爭一樣是個悲劇，倒不是說一位認真的美國文學學生，會期望海明威的故事能鼓舞人心。弗雷德里克·亨利中尉和英國護士凱瑟琳·巴克利，不得不面對一個事實：即使離開了戰場，也逃不掉死亡的陰影。
2.《麥克白》
《麥克白》是莎士比亞最短的悲劇。但是百利天下留學專家表示，這部簡潔的戲劇寫透了人性的弱點與性格，場景是11世紀蘇格蘭的戰場。另一個風行於高中的重要莎士比亞戲劇《哈姆雷特》，是以缺乏果斷與復仇為主軸，而《麥克白》則是以野心與個人道德為情節重心。
麥克白是主角的名字，他與另一位叫邦戈的貴族，得知三個巫婆一連串的預言以後，開始對立。孜孜不倦的女巫預測了未來的皇位繼承人，權力的野心很快就脫韁。麥克白在斗爭中失去妻子，發表了“明天，明天，明天”這個史詩獨白，捕捉到的絕望感覺。
3.《殺死一隻知更鳥》
哈潑·李1960年對南方的贊歌，是美國歷來最受喜愛的小說之一。部分是因為1962年的改編經典電影。
格雷戈里·派克飾演小鎮律師阿提卡斯·芬奇，也是一位最正直、最有同情心的父親。但是這本小說(作者唯一的一本)之所以受人尊崇，是因為有令人難忘的主角：一對兄妹詹姆與斯考特。本書有兩個次要情節：黑人男子涉嫌強奸白人婦女的審判以及兄妹意圖了解孤獨的鄰居布·拉德利，其結構非常適於提供十幾個有關歷史、容納、不公義、同情的教訓。難怪本書是中學必讀小說的重中之重。
“知更鳥”，50歲生日快樂!
日本好看的推理小說
01《所羅門的偽證》
宮部美雪
豆瓣評分：8.1(2345人評價)
這本書很厚，但好看到讓你不會覺得任何一個字是多餘的。
第三中學校園的積雪下，發現了一具凍僵的屍體……
是自殺還是謀殺?
身處象牙塔的孩子們，第一次感到成人世界的黑暗正面襲來。
大人們似乎只注重表面的安穩，希望學校盡快走入正軌，事實真相則無足輕重。
而學生們的決定是，組織屬於自己的校園法庭，尋找事件的真相。
成人們說，校園法庭不過是大孩子們玩的過家家游戲。
孩子們卻說，通過追尋真相，他們將會成長為比這些師長更有覺悟的大人。
02《白夜行》
東野圭吾
豆瓣評分：9.1(194513人評價)
《白夜行》早已火出了推理圈。
狗粉當中，應該有至少三分之一的人看過這本書。它是我心中日系推理的巔峰之作。
我還記得當年看完這本書後，躺了整整一天一夜，才消化了這本書帶來的強烈沖擊。
還沒看過這本書的狗粉趕緊去看，我肯定你絕對會一口氣看完。
它驚雷一般的結尾，會讓你久久震顫。
然後情不自禁地給出對這本書的評價：完美!

5分鍾勵志的英語故事：一言為重
What is Said Carries Weight
In ancient times, there was a prime minister named Shang Yang in the State of Qin. He was held in high regard by the King. In the year 359 BC, he prepared for a political reform to promote the economic development. But he was afraid that the people would not believe local authorities. He thought an idea.
One day, he had a 10-meter long pole erected at the south gate outside the capital. Then he told the crowd whoever took the pole to the north gate would be awarded 10 ounces of silver. Everyone was astonished, but nobody dared to have a try. After seeing that, Shang Yang raised his voice and said:" Anyone who carries the pole to the north gate will get 50 ounces of silver." A brave man did it and was be given 50 ounces of silver. Others felt very reGREtful.
In this way, Shang Yang achieved his aim successfully. Soon the state of Qin became the strongest country.
Later, people use it to praise the man who keeps his promise.
一言為重
古時候秦國有個相國叫商鞅，秦王非常器重他。公元前359年，他打算在秦國實行變法，但他怕百姓們不相信官府，就決定做件事以取得他們的信任。
有一天。他把一根10米長的竿子豎在都城南門外，然後告訴百姓如果誰把這根竹竿拿到城邊北門，就賞給他10兩銀子。開始，大家聽到這個消息都很吃驚，但沒人敢試。於是商鞅又提高聲音說："誰把這根竹竿拿到北門，賞50兩銀子。"這時，有一個膽子挺大的人願意去試一試。當他把竹竿拿到北門時，商鞅立刻賞給他50兩銀子。其他人看見了，都非常後悔自己沒去試。
經過這件事，大家都相信了官府。後來商鞅的變法進行地很成功，秦國因此成為了當時最強大的國家。
後來，人們就用"一言為重"來比喻一個人信守諾言。
5分鍾勵志的英語故事：不合時宜Ignorance of the objective world
In the State of Lu, there was a couple of husband and wife, the former being an expert shoemaker and the latter a skilled hand in wearing taffeta. One day after consultations they decided to go to the state of Yue to earn a livelihood. The neighbors advised them not to go when they learned about their plan. "Don't go there," said one neighbor, "If you go, you can never earn a livelihood."
"We cannot understand you," interrogated the couple, "We have a find command of our art, how could we not earn our living with our work? Don't make a fool of us, please."
"Indeed, you have your skill," explained the man, "But have you taken notice of the fact that shoes are made for people and the silk taffeta are for hat-making? The people of Yue don't wear shoes, for they are barefooted. Again, they like to have their hair spread out over their heads and they never use hats. To whom should you sell your shoes and hats then?" Experienced though you are in the arts, yet the arts you have mastered are useless there."
After this explanation, the husband and wife now understood that anything that was not adaptable to the objective world would be useless and unpractical.
不合時宜
魯國有對夫妻，男的是鞋匠，鞋子做的很好;女的是織絹能手。有一天，他們商量想到越國去謀生。消息傳到四鄰後，有人對他們說："不要到那兒去!否則你們一定無法生存的!"那對夫婦說："我們不明白你的意思， 我們都有一套手藝，怎麼 會生活不了呢?別胡說了!" 那人說："對呀，你們雖然都有一套手藝，可是你們要知道，鞋子是給人穿的，但越國人都赤腳不穿鞋子，你們織的絲絹原是做帽子用的，但越國人喜歡披著頭發，不戴帽子，你們的本領雖大，手藝雖高，但你們做的鞋子、帽子去賣給誰呢?那對夫婦這才明白，凡事如果不合時宜，不適合客觀環境就不中用了。

一技之長
戰國時期，趙國有位名士叫公孫龍。他手下聚集了許多有自己特長的門客。他常說："一個聰明人應該善於接納每一個有自己特長的人。"
一天，有一個穿著很破爛的人來見他，並向他推薦自己："我有一項特別的本領。"公孫龍就問道："什麼本領?"那個人回答道："我聲音特別大，很善於叫喊。"公孫龍聽了，就轉身問他旁邊的門客："你們有誰善於叫喊?"結果沒有一個人回答"是"。於是，他就收下了這個很善於叫的人作他的隨從。
沒過多久，公孫龍和他的門客一起出外遊玩。他們來到一條很寬的河邊，發現渡船在河的另一頭，所有人都不知怎麼辦好。突然，公孫龍想起他最近收的那個人的本領是善於叫，於是，他就轉過頭去對那人說："你大聲叫對面的船夫，看能不能把他叫過來。"那人覺得展示他技能的時候到了，就盡力大聲向對面喊：" 喂，船夫，過來，我們要過河。"當他叫聲剛完，那對面的船夫就搖著船過來了。公孫龍對這個新收的門客非常滿意。
後來，"一技之長"就用來形容一個人有一項特殊的本領。

經典勵志的英文故事 篇1
Tiresias was a blind, darkseeing prophet(先知) of Thebes. He was struck with blindness in his youth, because he had spied unwittingly on the goddess Athena. He was wandering in the woods one day when quite unexpectedly he saw anaked maiden bathing in a placid lake. Little did he know that he had offended the virgin goddess. Taken unaware and scarlet with wrath(憤怒) , the goddess exclaimed that whoever had the boldness to steal a glance at her naked body was doomed to perpetual(永久的) blindness. But when she learned later that the offence was unintentional, it was too late for her to take back what she had said. Taking pity on the poor youth for the loss of his sight, she obtained from Zeus an exceptional long life for him, and from Apollo a divine(神聖的) power of prophecy. Besides, she provided him with a marvellous sharpness of ear, so that he could understand the voices of all birds. And she filled his mind with mystic knowledge of things past and of things to come. In short she gave him quite an amount of her own wisdom. He was the first to recognise and welcome Dionysus, god of feast and wine, on the The ban land. When the infant Heracles caught Hera's two serpents(巨蛇) in its hands, it was Tiresias who cast the child's fortune and revealed the divine origin and destiny of the boy. When Oedipus abused Tiresias as having had a hand in the murder of Laius, Tiresias had the fearless courage to tell the truth that Oedipus was the murderer. Even in the lower world he continued to prophesy. There he helped Odysseus when the hero came to him for advice. Alive, he was highly respected by all;dead, he enjoyed the generous air and rosy light in the land of the Blest.
泰瑞西斯是位只能看見黑暗的底比斯先知。由於他年輕時不小心窺見了女神雅典娜，他的雙目失明。一天，他在森林裡漫步時，意外地看見一位全身裸露的仙女正在平靜的湖水中沐浴。他不知道他已經冒犯了這位貞潔的女神。因莫名其妙地被人看了個一清二楚，女神勃然大怒。她詛咒道：誰膽敢偷看她的玉體，誰就必將永遠變瞎。但當後來她得知泰瑞西斯並非有意冒犯她時，再想收回她的咒語已經不可能了。出於憐憫，她從宙斯那裡替這位貧窮的，喪失了視力的年輕人爭取到了長壽;又從阿波羅那裡要來了神聖的預言本領;並且，她賦予他神奇敏銳的雙耳，這樣他就可以明白各種鳥語。此外，雅典娜給了他魔術般的本領，使他既知過去，也能預測未來。總而言之，她使他擁有了她自身智慧中的很大一部分。在底比斯，是泰瑞西斯第一個認出了宴會神、也是酒神的狄俄尼索斯，並向他表示歡迎。當海格克斯還是個嬰兒，用手抓起赫拉的兩條毒蛇時，也正是泰瑞西斯卜算出了這個孩子的未來並預示出他的出身及其命運。當奧狄浦斯指責泰瑞西斯參與謀殺了拉伊俄斯時，泰瑞西斯勇敢地講出了事實真相：奧狄浦斯才是兇手。即使到了地獄，他依然預測未來。在那兒，當奧德修斯前去徵求他的意見時，泰瑞西斯幫助了他。活著的時候，他受到人們的普遍敬重;死後，在不萊斯特這塊土地上，他享受著無比清新的空氣和玫瑰般絢麗多彩的陽光。
經典勵志的英文故事 篇2
Far out in the sea there was an island, on the rocky edge of which lived three Sirens, the three sisters of magic song. Half human and half bird, the Siren sisters sat in a field of flowers, singing in voices that excited the hearts of men. The attractive songs were so sweet that ships were attracted to the island and struck to pieces on the rocks. No sailor nor ship had ever been known to pass the Island of the Sirens without being attracted to disaster.
Acting on the advice of Circe, Odysseus took careful preparation against the Sirens. Before their ships came to where they could hear the song, Odysseus had himself tied to the mast(桅桿，柱) , stopped the ears of his men with wax(蠟) and ordered them to ignore his orders and gestures when they were passing the fatal island.
Soon they came in sight of the rocky island, and the attractive song reached the ears of Odysseus. It moved him so much that he struggled in despair to free himself and shouted for his men to turn towards the rich and flowery grass land of the singing sisters. But no one paid any attention to him. The sailors kept straight on until they were completely out of hearing. Then his friends freed him and took the wax out of their ears. For once the Sirens had sung with no effects. The eldest of the sisters, Partherope, loved Odysseus so much that she threw herself into the sea after his ships had passed.
遙遠的海面上有一島嶼，石崖邊居住著唱魔歌的海妖塞壬三姐妹。半人半鳥的塞壬姐妹們坐在一片花叢里，唱著盎惑人心的歌，甜美的歌聲把過往的船隻引向該島，然後撞上礁石船毀人亡。過往的海員和船隻都受到迷惑走向毀滅，無一倖免。
奧德修斯遵循女神喀耳斯的忠告。為了對付塞壬姐妹，他採取了謹慎的防備措施。船隻還沒駛到能聽到歌聲的地方，奧德修斯就令人把他拴在桅桿上，並吩咐手下用蠟把他們的耳朵塞住，他還告誡他們通過死亡島時不要理會他的命令和手勢。
不久石島就進入了他們的視線。奧德修斯聽到了迷人的歌聲。歌聲如此令人神往，他絕望地掙扎著要解除束縛，並向隨從叫喊著要他們駛向正在繁花茂盛的草地上唱歌的海妖姐妹，但沒人理他。海員們駕駛船隻一直向前，直到最後再也聽不到歌聲。這時他們才給奧德修斯松綁，取出他們耳朵中的蠟。這次塞壬海妖們算是白唱了歌。三姐妹中的老大帕耳塞洛珀深深地愛慕著奧德修斯，當他的船隻走過後，她就投海自盡了。

A Straight Wall Is Hard to Build
人格的力量
by Lou R. Crandall
盧.R.克蘭德爾
As I try to outline my thoughts, the subject becomes more and more difficult. I have many basic beliefs but as I try to pick and choose it seems to me that they all can be summarized in the word "character." Obviously, what you believe is a fundamental thing. There can be no fanfare, no embellishments. It must be honest.
我在努力清理思路時，主題變得越來越難講述。我有很多的信仰，但試圖挑選時，似乎都可用「人格」一詞概括。顯然，一個人的信仰是根本，不需要炫耀，不用飾，本來是什麼就是什麼。
An architect once told me that the most difficult structure to design was a simple monumental shaft. The proportions must perfect to be pleasing. The hardest thing to build is a plain straight wall. The dimensions must be absolute.
一位建築師告訴我，最難設計的建築是一尊簡單的紀念柱，比例必須完美無缺，賞心悅目;最難砌的.是一堵簡朴筆直的牆，尺寸必須一絲不差。
In either case there is no ornamentation to hide irregularities, no moldings to cover hidden defects and no supports to strengthen concealed weaknesses.
在這兩種情況下，都無法用修飾掩蓋不平整，以造型遮蓋暗藏的缺陷，以支撐物來加固不牢的根基。
I am using this example to illustrate human character, which to me is the most important single power in the world today. The young people of toady are in reality foundations of structures yet to be built.
我以此例來說明人格，在我看來它是當今世界上最重要的唯一的力量。今天的年輕人實際上是世界待建結構的根基。
It is obvious that the design of these human structures is the combined efforts of many human architects. Boys and girls are influenced first by their parents, then by their friends and finally by business associates. During this period of construction, the human character is revised and changed until at maturity a fairly well-fixed form of character is found.
很顯然，設計這些人格結構需要眾多人類建築師的共同努力。孩子們的成長，先後要受到父母、朋友和事業夥伴的影響。在這一成長過程中，人格一直在改變，直到在成熟期定型。
There are few human straight walls and fewer human monumental shafts. Such men and women are personalities of great beauty and are so rare that history records their being and holds them up as examples for the future.
人類中堪稱牆一般筆直挺立的人少有，像紀念柱一樣矗立的人更少，這樣的人是美的化身，世所罕見，歷史記錄他們的存在，奉之為後世的楷模。
The Biblical characters are for me the closest examples of human perfection. They were unselfish, steadfast in their faith and unstinting in their help to others.
《聖經》中的人物在我心中是最接近完人的範例，他們無私，信仰堅定，幫助他人，不遺餘力。
Today in this world of turmoil and trouble we could use more of such people, but they do not just happen along. I believe that they are the result of concentrated effort on the part of parents and associates, and the more we build with character the better the world will become.
在今天這個混亂不安的世界，我們可以多用這樣的人，但他們並非從天而降。我相信他們是父母、同伴傾力鍛造的結果。我們越重視人格的建構，世界會越美好。
This may sound like a dreamer's hope and a theoretical goal which can never be reached. I do not think so.
這聽起來像痴人說夢，是永遠無法實現的理論目標，我卻不這么想。
The world as a whole has progressed tremendously material-wise, and we are a fortunate nation in that we are leading the procession. It is, I believe, natural that nations not so fortunate should look upon us with envy. We would do the same if the positions were reserved, so we should not judge too harshly the efforts of others to equal our standard of living. In either case, the fortunate or the unfortunate character in the indivial and collectively in a nation stands out.
全世界在物質生產上已取得巨大進步，美利堅榮幸地成為引導這一進程的國家。我相信，沒有這樣好運氣的國家可能會嫉妒我們，如果換個位置，我們也會如此，因此對於別人奮力向我們的生活標准看齊，我們不應該草率地評判。無論是哪種情況，個人或民族的幸運或不幸的品格都會凸顯出來。
I agree that it is easier to build character under ideal conditions but cannot forget that character is also required to give as well as receive.
我贊同在理想條件下更容易塑造人格的說法，但我認為不能忘記人格的塑造不僅需要外界條件的熏陶，也需要自身的努力。
It should be to the benefit of humanity if all indivials - and this includes myself - did a renovation or remodeling job on our own character. It may merely be a case of removing rough edges or tossing away molding to expose irregularities, in some cases to remove a prop and stand on one's own feet.
如果所有人——也包括我自己——都更新或重鑄自己的人格，這應該是有益於人類的。這也許僅僅是抹去粗糙的邊緣或丟棄固有的模式，從而顯露出不平整，有時則需要拿走支撐物，完全靠自己站立。
In any event if some of us set example, others will follow and the result should be good. This I believe.
不論何種情況，只要我們有人樹立榜樣，其他人就會效仿，結果就應該是好的。對此我深信不疑。
經典勵志的英文故事 篇4
Give the wrong-doer a way out
Beginning with Yu the GREat, the Xia Dynasty had lasted about four hundred years before Jie became the supreme ruler.
And that was in the 18th century BC. Jie was extremely tyrannical and dissolute. This aroused GREat resentment among the people. Tang, the Chief of the tribe Shang took advantage of this situation to overthrow the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty in the early 17th century BC. Among the preparations for the overthrow had been the winning over of popular support.
One day, Tang was having a walk in the open country. He saw a man catching birds with a big net spread in a box-like and mumbling: "Come on, birds! Come into my net. All of you, whether you are flying high or low, east or west. Come into my net!"
Tang walked over and said to the man, "This method is ruthless! You'll spare no birds this way!" With these words, he cut the net down on three sides. Then he murmured in a light voice as if praying: "Oh, birds! Fly to the left or right as you like. And if you're really tired of your life, come into this net!"
When chiefs of other tribes heard about this, they were all moved. They said, "Tang is a good king indeed. He is so kind even to birds and beasts. He must be more merciful to human beings." And very soon, about forty tribes pledged allegiance to Tang.
From that story came the idiom "Open the net on three sides". Later, people changed it into "Give the wrong-doer a way out."， indicating to be lenient to the wrong-doers.
從大禹到桀，夏朝一共持續了四百多年的歷史。
那是在公元前十八世紀。桀是個極端殘暴，放盪的人。他激起了人民的極度不滿。部落商的領袖湯利用這個形勢，推翻了夏朝，並在公元前十七世紀早期建立了商朝。在准備這場推翻夏朝的行動中，湯贏得了廣泛的支持。
一天，湯在一片開闊的田野里散步。他看見一個人正在捕鳥。那人支開一張像籠子般的大網，喃喃的說："來吧，鳥兒們!飛到我的網里來。無論是飛得高的還是低的，向東還是向西的，所有的鳥兒都飛到我的網里來吧!"
湯走過去對那個人說："你這種方法太殘忍了!這樣作你連一隻鳥也不放過!"
一邊說著，湯砍斷了三面網。然後，像做祈禱那樣，他輕輕的低聲說道，"哦，鳥兒們，喜歡向左飛的，就向左飛;喜歡向右飛的，就向右飛;如果你真的厭倦了你的生活，就飛入這張網吧!"
其它部落的首領得知這件事後都非常感動。他們說："湯真是一位賢王啊。他對鳥獸都如此仁慈，何況是對人呢?" 不久就有四十多個部落宣誓效忠湯。
"網開三面"這個成語就是由此而來的。後來，人們把它改為"網開一面"，表示寬容的對待做錯事的人。
經典勵志的英文故事 篇5
A bird startled by the mere twang of a bow-string
During the time of the Warring States (475-221 BC)， there lived a well-known archer named Geng Ying whose art in shooting was excelled by none at his time.
One day, as he was standing by the side of the King of Wei, a flock of swan geese were flying over. With confidence, Geng Ying said to the king, "The twang of my bow-string might bring down a bird." The King doubted much. Just then a solitary swan goose appeared, low and slow in its flight, sad and dolorous in its cry. Instantly Geng Ying bended his bow and forcibly pulled the bowstring. Twang! High up went he shrilling sound into the air and down fell the bird to the ground. The king admired with bewilderment. Gang Ying then explained: "The bird was flying low and slow, because it was already hurt; it was crying in a bitter tone, because it had lost its companions. Due to the fact that it was already hurt and sad at heart, the twang of my strong bow, that birds dreaded most, startled it. The shrilling sound made its heart beat fast, its wings weak, its balance uneven. Thus it fell down just as commonly as a man drops his chop-sticks, at the thunder-stroke, at a dinner table." Henceforth comes the idiom "A bird startled by the mere twang of a bow-string", illustrating a case where a man who had been previously and repeatedly frightened became numb and stupefied by a new thing of the same nature not knowing how to face the new situation.
戰國時期，有個傑出的弓箭手，叫做更贏。他的射箭本領在當時可稱是舉世無雙。有一天，他和魏王並肩站著，天空中忽然飛過一群鴻雁。更贏很自信的對魏王說："我可以用弓聲就把飛鳥給打下來。"魏王很懷疑。正在那是，一隻孤雁很低很慢的飛過。鳴聲凄慘。更贏見了，就張著弓，扣著弦，砰的一聲，直入雲宵。那孤雁果然應聲落地。魏王驚嘆之餘，不明白這是怎麼回事。更贏解釋說："那孤雁飛得低且慢，因為它已經受過傷;它鳴叫的聲音悲而哀，因為它離了群。身傷心碎，使它心跳加速，兩翼無力，體重失去平衡，正如人們吃飯時，突然聽見雷聲，筷子落地的情況一樣自然而平常。
後人根據上面的故事，做成了"驚弓之鳥"這個成語，形容先前多次受過驚嚇的人，忽然遇到同樣可怕的事物，就嚇得魂飛魄散，驚惶失措，不知如何去應付新的環境。
經典勵志的英文故事 篇6
烏鴉坐在樹枝上，嘴裡叼著一塊乳酪。這時，狐狸在觀察烏鴉，轉動鬼腦筋想得到那塊乳酪。
於是，狐狸先生走過去，站在樹下，仰起頭說道：「我的頭上有一隻多麼高貴的鳥兒呀！」她的美貌天下無雙，她的羽毛精緻纖美。
要是她的聲音也像外貌和羽毛那樣美好，毫無疑問，她該成為鳥類的女王！「聽到這番恭維，烏鴉簡直受寵若驚，一心只想向狐狸炫耀一下自己的歌喉，就「呱」地大叫一聲。
理所當然，她嘴裡的那乳酪就掉了下去，狐狸立刻抓起乳酪，說：「烏鴉夫人，我知道你的歌喉很不錯，可你需要的是智慧。」
A Crow was sitting on a branch of a tree with a piece of cheese in her beak when a Fox observed her and set his wits to work to discover some way of getting the cheese. Coming and standing under the
tree he looked up and said, "What a noble bird I see above me! Her beauty is without equal, the hue of her plumage exquisite. If only her voice is as sweet as her looks are fair, she ought without doubt to be Queen of the Birds." The Crow was hugely flattered by this, and just to show the Fox that she could sing she gave a loud caw. Down came the cheese, of course, and the Fox, snatching it up, said, "You have a voice, madam, I see: what you want is wits."

When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.」
