It was the day before Easter and Peter Cottontail was very busy.As the Chief Easter Bunny,it was his job to hide all the eggs for all the Easter egg hunts around the world.
時間是復活節之前,皮特很忙。作為主要的復活節兔子,他的工作是將所有的為全世界復活節狩獵所需要的蛋藏起來。
Peter wanted to be sure that he had enough of the beautifully colored eggs for everyone.So he was counting them all.But he kept getting distracted and losing count.
皮特想確定他有充足的為復活節而准備的美麗的彩蛋。所以他正在把它們都數一數。但是他一直分神而忘了數的數字。
First,Peter thought he heard the meow of one little kitten.But he didn't see a kitten.Next he thought he heard two meows from two kittens,but he still didn't see anything.
Then Peter thought he heard three meows from three little kittens.
"Maybe they're outside,"thought Peter.So,he opened the door and sure engough...
開始,皮特想他聽到了一隻小貓的叫聲。但是他看不見一隻小貓。接著他想他聽到了兩只小貓的聲音,但是他依然什麼都看不見。
然後皮特想他看見了三隻小貓的聲音。
「也許他們在外面,」皮特想。所以他打開門來看個清楚...
There sat three unhappy,little kittens.Peter asked them what was wrong.
"We were playing hide-and-seek with our mitten*,"**plained the kittens."We are very good at hiding,but we are not very good at seeking.And now our mittens are lost."
"If you help me count my eggs,then I can help you find your mittens,"Peter told them.
The three little kittens were so happy that they began to dance and sing.
那裡坐著三隻不愉快的小貓。皮特問他們有什麼麻煩。
「我們用我們的拳擊手套玩了『藏了找』的游戲,」小貓們解釋。「我們擅長藏,但是我們不擅長找。現在我們的拳擊手套找不到了。」
「假如你們幫助我數我的蛋,然後我就能夠幫助你們找到你們的拳擊手套,」皮特告訴他們。
那三隻小貓如此地高興以致他們又跳舞又唱歌。
Everyone went into the house and,one-two-three,they counted all the eggs.There were enough eggs for everyone and even three too many.
"Great!"said Peter."It's good to have extra eggs,just in case any break.Now let's find your mittens."
Off went Peter Cottontail and the three little kittens,with Peter Cottontail hopping big-bunny hops and the kittens racing along to keep up.
每個人都進入屋子,一、二、三,他們數了所有的蛋。為每個人准備的蛋是充足的,甚至還多出了三個。
「太好了!」皮特說。「有多餘的蛋很好,恰好預防破蛋的情況。現在讓我們來找你的拳擊手套。」
皮特和三隻小貓走出去,皮特跳著大兔步,而三隻小貓則跑在後面跟著他。
First,they passed a house made of straw-but no one was there.
Next they passed a house made of sticks.No one was home there either.
Finally,they came to a very nice house made of bricks.
Peter and the three kittens knocked on the door of the pretty brick brick.Soon,three little pigs came out to meet them.
"Welcome!Welcome!"said the three little pigs."We are so glad to have visitors.The Big Bad Wolf chased all our friends away and no one visit us anymore.Won't you come in for a while?"
首先,他們經過了一個由稻草製成的房子,但是每人在家。
接著他們來到一個有樹枝做成的房子,也沒人在家。
最後他們來到一個由磚頭製成的房子。
皮特和三隻小貓敲打那個精美的小屋的門。不久,三隻小豬出來迎接他們。
「歡迎!歡迎!」三隻小豬說。「我們很高興有人來拜訪我們。大壞狼趕走了我們的所有的朋友,再也沒人來拜訪我們了。你們不進來呆一會嗎?」
Peter and the kitten* **plained that they were looking for the kittens' lost mittens.This made the kittens so sad that they began to cry.
"Don't cry,little kittens,"said the three pigs."We haven't see any mittens,but you are welcome to look around."
So everyone looked,but they didn't find the kitten's mittens.
皮特和三個小貓解釋他們在尋找小貓丟失的拳擊手套。這件事讓小貓們哭了起來。
「不要哭,小貓,」三隻小豬說,「我們沒有看見什麼拳擊手套。但是歡迎你們在附近找找。」
所以每個人一起看了看,但是他們沒有發現小貓的拳擊手套。
"You should ask Humpty Dumpty,"suggested the three little pigs."He sits so high up on his wall that he sees everything.Maybe he has seen your mittens."
Peter and the three kittens thanked the pigs and said good-bye.Then off they went.
「你們應該問問漢仆.達譜,」三隻小豬建議。「他坐在他家的很高的牆上讓他能看見每件事情。也許他看見了你們的拳擊手套。」
Before long,they came to a very high wall with a strange,little man sitting on top.
"Excuse me,"said Peter Cottontail,"Are you Humpty Dumpty?"
"Yes,I am,"said the man,"How can I help you?"
不久,他們來到一堵非常高的牆面前,一個陌生的,很小的人坐在牆上。
「對不起,」皮特說,「你是漢仆.達譜嗎?」
「是的,」那個人說,「我能幫助你們嗎?」
Once again,the three little kitten* **plained how they lost their mittens.And they became so sad that again they began to cry.
"Do not cry,little kittens,"said Humpty Dumpty."This morning I saw three little kittens hide their mittens in the tall grass next to the Babbling Brook."
The three litten kittens began to dance and sing.
"Now we remember!Thank you,thank you!"they cheered.
三隻小貓把怎麼丟失拳擊手套的事又解釋了一遍。他們如此地傷心以致他們哭了。
「不要哭,小貓,」漢仆.達譜說,「今天早上我看見三隻小貓在胡說河邊的高草中藏他們的拳擊手套。」
三隻小貓開始又跳又唱。
「現在我們記得了!謝謝你,謝謝你!」他們歡呼。
Peter was very happy to have helped the kittens.But suddenly he remembered about Easter.
"Oh no!"he cried."It is almost Easter and I haven't hidden any eggs yet!What will I do?"
皮特很高興幫助了小貓。但是突然他記得了復活節。
「哦,不!」他喊,「幾乎到了復活節了,我還沒有將蛋藏好呢!我該怎麼辦呢?」
"Don't worry."said the three little kittens."You have seen that we are good at hiding things.We will help you hide the eggs."
Peter accepted their help and off everyone rushed,with Peter hopping big-bunny hops and the kittens racing along to keep up.
「不要害怕。」三隻小貓說。「你看見了我們擅長藏東西。我們將幫助你來藏蛋。」
皮特接受了他們的幫助,每個人跑起來,皮特跳著大兔步,小貓們在後面奔跑著追趕。
By Easter morning,everything was finished.Best of all,none of the eggs had broken.So Peter gave the three extra eggs to the three little kittens as thanks for all their help.
到了復活節早上,每件事都完成了。最好的是,沒有一個蛋被弄破。所以皮特將三個多餘的蛋送給了三隻小貓作為對他們的幫助的感謝。
--Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不論你的生活如何卑賤,你要面對它生活,不要躲避它,更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候,倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活,盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里,你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上,像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮;在那門前,積雪同在早春融化。我只看到,一個從容的人,在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣,生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人,我看,倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大,所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的,不靠城鎮來支援他們;可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活,他們是毫不超脫的,毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧!不要找新的花樣,無論是新的朋友或新的衣服,來麻煩你自己。找舊的,回到那裡去。萬物不變,是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉,但要保留你的思想。

短篇英語美文篇1
熱愛生活
However difficult your life is, meet it and love it.
不論生活如何艱辛,你要正視它、熱愛它。
Do not avoid it and call it names1. It is not as bad as you think. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.
不要躲避它,更不要用惡言咒悶廳纖罵它。它並不像你想像的那樣壞。也許在你最富有的時候卻是它看起來最貧乏的時候。吹毛求疵的人就算在天堂也能找到缺點。
Love your life. Poor sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s house. anwenw.com The snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I can only see a quiet mind living as contentedly there, and have as cheerful thoughts, as in a palace.
熱愛生活吧!濟貧院的窗戶反射的陽光同富人家窗戶反射的一樣明亮;春天濟貧院門前的積雪也一樣會早早融化。在那裡,我只看到人們像住在宮殿一樣,思想平靜、滿足,心情愉悅。
The town’s poor seem to me to live the most independent lives of any. anwenw.com Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without doubt. Most think that they are above being supported by the town, but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable4. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn to the old, and return to them.
在我看來城鎮中的窮人往往過著最獨立的生活。或許他們只是足夠偉大而可以毫無疑問地接受生活。大多數人以為自己沒有依賴政府救濟來養活;可是事實上他們通常利用了不正當的手段來過活,這是更加不體面的。不要為了過分追求新東西而困擾你自己,無論是朋友或衣服。去找你的老朋友或者舊衣服,回歸應有的生活。螞仿
Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
東西並未改變,是我們自己變了。賣掉那些不必要的衣服吧,但是要保留你的思想
短篇英語美文篇2
找到在你內心閃耀的那顆星
Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.
當生命中的那顆星在你內心閃耀的時候,要學會把握它,永遠相信只要自己持之以恆,就一定能夠實現自己心中的夢想。
Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made. Have faith in your judgment. Catch the star that twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to your destiny's path. anwenw.com Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.
盡管通往夢想的道路上總有坎坷,你需要記住的是,你的命運就隱藏在那困難背後。學會接受這樣的事實:不是每一個人都贊同你的選擇。你要堅定自己的信念走下去,去擁抱那屬於你自己的美麗日出。捕捉住那顆在你內心閃耀的星吧,它將引領你抵達自己的命運之路。沿那條路走下去,你就會發現那屬於自己的美麗日出。
Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. anwenw.com Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.
為自己的成績自豪,因為它們是你通往夢想的階梯。要知道你自己也會犯錯誤,但是可別因此而氣餒。正確評價自己的能力,是它們令你與眾不同。生活里最豐厚的禮物不是買來的,而是通過艱苦的努力和決心獲得的。
Find the star that twinkles in your heart—for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.
找到在你內心閃耀的那顆星吧——雖然你獨自一人,但也有能力實現你最輝煌的夢想。對即得的懷抱希望並抓住那顆掌控你命運的星吧。
短篇英語美文篇3
積極看待每一天
If you feel powerless or unmotivated, perhaps all you have to do is shift your point of view.
如果你覺得心有餘而力不足,覺得缺乏前進的動力,也許你該改變一下自己的思維角度。
By training your mind to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the motivation to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative thoughts that might limit your performance.
訓練自己將注意力放在光明、積極的一面,這樣你就會汲取實現目標的動力,而不會因為消極沉淪而停滯不前。
Your life can be made better and your happiness enriched, if you choose to change your point of view. anwenw.com Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations*. Begin to build confidence and work through problems rather than avoiding them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
一旦變換看問題的角度,你的生活便會豁然開朗,幸福快樂會接踵而來。別交出掌握命運的主動權,也別指望局面會不可思議地好轉。你必須與內心的抱負和渴望步調一致。建立自信,敢於與困難短兵相接,而非繞道而行。記住,力量不是駕馭局勢的法寶,而是一種無堅不摧的能力。
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "proctive hours". Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking and make it an important part of your life.
請堅信,美好的降臨並非不可能,失誤也許是成功的前奏。將惶恐化作堅定的信念,學會超越擔憂和疑慮。與其惶恐不安,不如行動起來。不要浪費精力,而是將它投到有意義的事情中去。當你下意識品嘗生命的歡愉時,美好就會出現。當你積極地看待生活,並以此作為你的日常准則時,你就會找到快樂的真諦。
『肆』 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」。

『柒』 英語短篇美文4篇
1、If not to the sun for smiling, warm is still in the sun there, but wewill laugh more confident calm; if turned to found his own shadow, appropriate escape, the sun will be through the heart,warm each place behind the corner; if an outstretched palm cannot fall butterfly, then clenched waving arms, given power; if I can't have bright smile, it will face to the sunshine, and sunshine smile together, in full bloom.
譯文:如果不向太陽索取微笑,溫暖仍在太陽那裡,但我們會笑得更加自信從容;如果轉過身去發現了自己的影子,適當的躲讓,陽光便可穿越心靈,溫暖每一處身後的角落;如果攤開的掌心不能點落蝴蝶,那就緊握成拳揮動臂膀,給予力量;如果我不能夠微笑得燦爛,那就將臉投向燦爛的陽光,與陽光一起微笑,爛漫。
2、When you love who you are,you become a conit of light.Just drop into your heart space,and live life from this view.For all of this doingis not who you are.Listen to your heart』s soft whisper,this voice will show you the way.Live life from your essenceis what she will say.See the light in yourself,and your world will be bright.There is no need to worry,you are exactly as you should be;remember to love who you are,and love you will see.
譯文:當你愛自己的時候,你會成為一道光。只需觸及心房,並遵循本心來生活。做這一切無關你是誰。聆聽內心輕柔的呢喃,她會告訴你方法。遵循本性來生活她會這樣告訴你。欣賞自身的光芒,你的世界都會變得明亮。沒必要擔心,你正是自己本來的模樣;記得愛自己,愛自己欣賞的一切。

4、So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
譯文:想像一下你就是這個木匠,想像你正在建造這座房子,你每天釘進一顆釘子、安裝一塊板子或者築起一面牆。請用心對待吧,這是唯一一個你為自己打造的生活。即使你只在裡面住上一天,這一天也要活得有光彩、有尊嚴。正如格言所說,「生活是一個只有靠自己才能完成的項目。」
5、Time is like a river, the left bank is unable to forget the memories, right is worth grasp the youth, the middle of the fast flowing, is the sad young faint. There are many good things, buttruly belong to own but not much. See the courthouse blossom,honor or disgrace not Jing, hope heaven Yunjuanyunshu, has no intention to stay. In this round the world, all can learn to use a normal heart to treat all around, is also a kind of realm!
譯文:歲月就象一條河,左岸是無法忘卻的回憶,右岸是值得把握的青春年華,中間飛快流淌的,是年輕隱隱的傷感.世間有許多美好的東西,但真正屬於自己的卻並不多.看庭前花開花落,榮辱不驚,望天上雲卷雲舒,去留無意.在這個紛繞的世界裡,能夠學會用一顆平常的心去對待周圍的一切,也是一種境界!
6、People always confuse about the meaning of happiness, they don』t know how to define it. Some people think that when one has the successful career or does something that makes contribution to the society is the happiness. It is common that great acts are admired by the public and people are easy to feel the happiness. While in my opinion, happiness is very easy to achieve. When I stay with my family, we have the nice talk and I feel very happy. When I eat the delicious food that is cooked by my mother, I feel moved and happy. Happiness is around everywhere, we can feel it if we treat it right.
譯文:人們總是混淆幸福的含義,他們不知道如何定義幸福。有些人認為,當一個人有了成功的事業或做了對社會有所貢獻的事情時,那就是幸福。人們很欣賞偉大的行為,人們很容易感到幸福。在我看來,幸福是很容易實現的。當我和家人在一起時,我們的談話很愉快,我感到非常高興。當我吃媽媽做的美味的食物時,我感到很開心。幸福無處不在,只要我們善待它,我們就能感受到幸福。
7、When I am making mistakes, my parents will never be angry with me. I am so thankful to them for they are so tolerant with me. I learn many things from my parents, they show me how to be a tolerant person. They will not blame me for the small mistake that I make, instead, they will ecate me in the gentle way. Unlike some parents who are strict to their kids, they will be very angry and said the hurting words, making the children feel sad. Being tolerant to other people』s mistakes is the best way to solve the problem. People will appreciate the kind act and make things goes on the easy way.
譯文:當我犯錯誤的時候,我的父母永遠不會生我的氣。我非常感謝他們,因為他們對我很寬容。我從父母那裡學到很多東西,他們教我如何成為一個寬容的人。他們不會因為我犯的一個小錯誤而責備我,相反,他們會以溫和的方式教育我。不像一些對孩子要求嚴格的父母,他們會很生氣,說那些傷人的話,讓孩子們感到悲傷。寬容別人的錯誤是解決問題的最好辦法。人們會欣賞這種善舉,讓事情變得簡單。
8、Sometimes you dream to be a kind of happiness, sometimes the dream is also a kind of happiness; sometimes is a kind of happiness, sometimes the loss is also a kind of happiness;sometimes success is a kind of happiness, sometimes failure is also a kind of happiness. Sometimes the rich is a kind of happiness, sometimes poverty is also a kind of happiness. "Not happy" today, now can not be "happy", while it may be tomorrow or later become "happiness"!
譯文:有時你的夢想達到是一種幸福,有時夢想破滅也是一種幸福;有時得到是一種幸福,有時失去也是一種幸福;有時成功是一種幸福,有時失敗也是一種幸福.有時富有是一種幸福,有時貧窮也是一種幸福.「不幸福」今天或者現在不能成為「幸福」,而明天或者以後卻可能變成「幸福」!

英語短篇散文精選滲伍肆:童真記趣
Oh God! I think I was about seven and half when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt. I remember watching television with them and the show on happened to be our favorite program to watch. All of a sudden we heard my brother, Chris, yelling from the backyard. So we all headed out there to see what happened. When we finally located him, he was in a tree hanging from the highest tree branch. Crying, he explained to us that he had climbed up the tree and couldn't get down. We thought, okay, one of us should climb up and get him off, but we couldn't manage to get him moving down.
It was then my youngest sister, Ka, who was five and a half at the time had seen a similar situation. She suggested we grab a sheet, hold it under the branch Chris was hanging off of, and tell him to drop so we can catch him. My other sister, Yams, who is one year younger than me, peered at me to confirm the idea and I said "Yeah, let's try that".
So we grabbed a sheet from the closet and went to hold it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were ranging from seven and a half to five and a half, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were confident it could work.
We looked up to Chris and he looked down at us a bit hesitant. I don't blame him the poor guy. It was then we told him to let go and to fall on his back. Chris looked at me and asked "Are you sure I'll land on the blanket?" Now, my brother at the age of four, had a cute squeaky voice. But because of a problem at birth with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out more like this, "Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?", "Yup!", I told him, "We're sure!" and he let go.
Now when I think about Chris letting go of that branch, I think of his faith in me and my sisters and I also think how stupid he was to trust us, cause when that boy let go he was in for a big surprise. Chris fell right through that sheet and landed right on his stomach. And no matter how tight we held on to the sheet, he still managed to get through.
We were shocked and a bit worried and we looked at the ground where he landed. This tiny seventy pound boy had made a hole right through the sheet and landed. He was positioned like one of those chalk drawings you find after a homicide, with one arm near the head another to the side and the knee bent a bit. We might as well have drawn an outline because he wasn't moving. So we bent down to check if he was still alive and when we asked him if he was okay he uttered these five words… "Ah stee hi da flow" in other words, "I still hit the floor!" Poor little man! But before you condemn us, Chris is fourteen now and he still bugs us about it, any tree he climbs he gets down on his own and, strangely, he wants to be a fireman when he grows up. Now he can write that he had personal experience about jumping and catching. See, no harm done…
英語短篇散文 精選 :人生的意義
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.
英語短篇散文 精選 :感謝的快樂
In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who’d lived those years with us. In fact, we don’t have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closet to us—the ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now! while your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world’s happiness.
Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’s world, it brightens yours. If you’re feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need.
Of course, there are times when you can’t express gratitude immediately. In that case don’t let embarrassment sink you into silence-speak up the first time you have the chance.
Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had exceptional generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks.
I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?

He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it.

簡單的英語小故事
A bird was confined in a cage outside a window. She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.
One night a bat came. He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.
The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.”
The bat replied, "But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away.

金絲雀回答說:“去年我在白天唱歌時,捕鳥人聽到我的歌聲抓住了我。從此,我再也不在白天唱歌了。”
蝙蝠說:“你現在才懂得謹慎已沒用了,你若在變為囚徒之前就懂得,那該多好呀!”說完就飛走了。
寓意: 我們應該在危險發生之前就提高警覺,因為危險一旦發生,我們再怎樣小心也沒有用了
