可爱的Mr Question

上课的第一天我就留意到了他----- 郭宥红,一个小眼睛,皮肤白皙的男孩。

我正准备自我介绍时,他猛的举手,问道:“老师啊,你叫什么名字?”等我自我介绍完,他又开始举手发问了:“MiLi,为什么我们的英语老师都姓Mi呢?”在我讲授新课时,他又开始提问了:“Mi Li,为什么你的眼睛这么大,我的眼睛这么小呢?”真是让我苦笑不得。 整个课堂都充满了他的“什么”和“为什么”。

课后我找到他,耐心的回答了课堂上他所提出的问题,并送给了他一个小绰号“Mr Question”,告诉他能够提出问题是在正确思考问题,对学习很有帮助,这个绰号是对他的肯定,同时指导他分清场合正确提问,提高课堂效率。听完我的话后,他会心的点点头,我知道他明白了!

现在的英语课堂上,最积极最活跃是他,提问最有效的也是他,Mr Question!

大黑说:“咱们要分得公平,我的不能比你的小,你的也不能比我的大,不然我会不高兴的。”小黑也说:“对,要分得公平,我的也不能比你的小,你的也不能比我的大,不然我也会不高兴的。”它们俩为一块面包而争执不休。

正在这时,狐狸大婶来了,看见大黑和小黑因为一块面包而争执,狐狸大婶的眼珠子骨碌碌地转了转,想出了一个坏主意。它让大黑和小黑闭上眼睛,趁这个时候把面包吃下去。吃完,狐狸大婶让大黑和小黑睁开眼睛,并对哥俩说:“我把面包吃下去,你们都吃不到面包,这样不就公平了。”

大黑和小黑听了都傻了,你看看我,我看看你,一句话也说不出来……

这个故事告诉我们:狐狸狡猾得无药可救,做人千万不能像狐狸那样不劳而获;我们也不要像两只狗熊那样笨,轻易地相信别人,凡事都要认真思考后再作决定,否则,吃亏的是我们自己。

The Day the Balls Had a Fight One day,all of the balls in the world gathered together.The balls began to fight each other.Then,they divided into four groups.The balls chose leaders for their groups.They chose as their leaders the ping-pong ball,baseball,basketball,and soccer ball.Every ball thought that his own group had the best skills.Let’s listen to them.

“Hey!A ball should be light and small,so he can move around quickly.Who is lighter and smaller than I am?”

“Hey!You’re wrong!You’re so light that the wind blows you away.Besides,a ball should be fast.And who’s faster than I am?”

“Ha,you guys don’t understand.If you hit people,

they will get hurt.A ball should be big,but not too heavy.That way no one will get hurt.”

“You guys are so foolish.Is it good if you are good at only one thing?A ball should be well-rounded.Look at me.I’m almost as fast as a baseball.I’m slightly lighter and smaller than a basketball.So,I run fast when I have to.And,I protect myself from getting hurt,because I’m so big.”

“I don’t see an end to this argument.Let’s make a bet---The ball that people play with the most will be named the best ball.” “OK.”

Every four years,people play in the Olympic Games.People cheer for their favorite sports.Other balls are there,too.They play with volleyballs,tennis balls,and other balls,too.They all want to become the people’s favorite balls.

It’s Not Easy Being a Kid!

I have one thing to say:IT’S NOT EASY BEING A KID! Being a kid might look like fun,but sometimes it’s not.Yesterday,I was playing outside with my friend.I was having a really good time.Then suddenly,my mother said, “Tom,it’s time to come inside now.It’s getting dark.” When you’re an adult,no one can tell you what to do or when to do it.

When you’re a kid,you have to get up early in the morning and go to school.At school,you have to study math,English,science,and history.After school,you have to do your homework.When you’re an adult,you do not have to go to school and you never have homework.When you’re a kid,there are many things you can’t watch.Last Saturday,there was a scary movie on TV.It looked really exciting.But my father would not let me watch.He said, “You’re too young for this movie,Tom.”

When you’re an adult,you can watch anything you want.

When you’re a kid,the older kids sometimes pick on you.When I was walking home from school on Monday,Tom and Steve bothered me.Steve took my schoolbag and put it in a tree.It made me very mad.When you’re an adult,no one can pick on you.

When you’re a kid,you cannot go anywhere by yourself.Last Friday,I wanted to buy a birthday gift for my friend John.But I had to wait for my mom to return home.When I want to go somewhere,I have to ride my bike or ask my mom for a ride.When you’re an adult,you can drive a car wherever you want.

When you’re kid,you have to go to bed early.On school nights,my mom makes me go to bed at 9:00.But I do have a mom and dad who love me, which is really great.So I

gue I like being a kid,even though IT’S NOT EASY BEING A KID!

A Boy and His Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow„ He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by„The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.

“I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys.I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money„but you can pick all my apples and sell them.So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited.He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn’t come back after he picked the apples.The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me.” The tree said.“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.

This is a story of everyone.The tree is our parents.When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad„ When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.

哥哥的心愿

圣诞节时,保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车。圣诞节当天,保罗离开办公室时,一个男孩绕着那辆闪闪发亮的新车,十分赞叹地问: 先生,这是你的车? 保罗点点头:这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。男孩满脸惊讶,支支吾吾地说:你是说这是你哥送的礼物,没花你一分钱?天哪,我真希望也能„„

保罗当然知道男孩他真想希望什么。他希望能有一个象那样的哥哥。但是小男孩接下来说的话却完全出乎了保罗的意料。

我希望自己能成为送车给弟弟的哥哥。男孩继续说。

保罗惊愕地看着那男孩,冲口而出地说:你要不要坐我的车去兜风? 哦,当然好了,我太想坐了!

车开了一小段路后,那孩子转过头来,眼睛闪闪发亮,对我说:先生,你能不能把车子开到我家门前?

保罗微笑,他知道孩子想干什么。那男孩必定是要向邻居炫耀,让大家知道他坐了一部大轿车回家。但是这次保罗又猜错了。你能不能把车子停在那两个台阶前?男孩要求道。

男孩跑上了阶梯,过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了,但动作似乎有些缓慢。原来把他跛脚的弟弟带出来了,将他安置在第一个台阶上,紧紧地抱着他,指着那辆新车。

只听那男孩告诉弟弟:你看,这就是我刚才在楼上对你说的那辆新车。这是保罗他哥哥送给他的哦!将来我也会送给你一辆像这样的车,到那时候你就能自己去看那些在圣诞节时,挂窗口上的漂亮饰品了,就象我告诉过你的那样。

保罗走下车子,把跛脚男孩抱到车子的前座。兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也爬上车子,坐在弟弟的身旁。就这样他们三人开始一次令人难忘的假日兜风。

那个圣诞夜,保罗才真正体会主耶稣所说的施比受更有福的道理。

趣味英语故事----读典故学英语

PIE IN THE SKY 中国人常说“天上不会掉馅饼”,美国也有类似的说法--pie in the sky,形容不可能实现的事情。下次如果有人跟你说“如果我有500万的话......”,你就可以说,“forget it, it\'s a pie in the sky”。

此短语直译为『天国(上)的馅饼』,源自美国流行作曲家、世界产业工人联盟的组织者 Joe Hill 于 1911年所作的一首着名歌曲《传教士与奴隶》。他在歌中写道:

You will eat, bye and bye, In the glorious land above the sky! Work and pray, live on hay,

You\'ll get PIE IN THE SKY when you die! 这几句歌词是 Joe Hill 从美国救世军军歌中引用过来的,意在讽刺这个宗教组织,揭露其欺骗性和虚伪性,唤醒广大被压迫的奴隶。后来人们就用 pie in the sky 比喻『渺茫的希望』和『不能保证实现的允诺』等意思。

好,这次大家就翻译一下上面那两句歌词吧

----------------- 不久你将在天上的圣地就餐。劳动吧!祈祷吧!靠干草过活吧!死后你就会得到天国的馅饼!

Rain cats and dogs。

可能你已经知道了rain cats and dogs 的含意为『下倾盆大雨』,但你知道这个短语是怎样衍生而来的吗?下雨就下雨,怎可能从天上掉下来猫和狗呢?下雨同猫及狗又是怎样扯上关系的呢?原来,据说这个短语最早出现于17世纪,不过关于它的起源已经无从考证。但是现在人们普遍认为,它的起源可能同17世纪使用的地下排水系统有关,当时人们使用的排水系统非常简陋,排水能力极其有限。一旦下起暴雨,地下排水沟里的污水便四处横流。随着污水流出来的不仅有垃圾,各种污秽物,有时甚至还有死猫死狗之类的小动物死尸随污水蔓延出来。如此狗和猫便与瓢泼大雨扯上了关系,人们也据此杜撰了 rain cats and dogs 这一短语。由此可以看出,rain cats and dogs 并不是指天上真的掉下猫和狗(要真是如此,还不让那些喜欢猫和狗的西方人笑歪了鼻子乐歪了嘴?),而是由于大雨引起地下排水不畅,结果阴沟里的死猫死狗便随污水漂浮到地面。

另外,也有人认为,这个短语可能起源于这样的事实:每当下起暴风雨,风大雨急,看上去就好像是猫和狗在打架。还有人认为它来自北欧神话传说,在北欧,人们都认为猫影响天气的变化,而狗则代表风,所以一旦下起暴雨,猫和狗自然脱不了干系(不过我们还是有点替阿猫阿狗们叫屈!不是吗?^-^)。

另外再列举一些与阿猫阿狗有关系的词组吧,比如:cat and dog production 指多规格生产,杂乱生产

(3)继续狗的话题

A DOG IN THE MANGER 因为文化传统的关系,狗在英语语言中都被当作忠实、可爱、聪敏的象征,因此与之有关的短语也大多为褒义之词,但 a dog in the manger 则属例外。从字面来看,A dog in the manger 是指『马厩里的狗』,大家可能觉得奇怪了,狗怎么跑到马厩里去了呢?要解释清楚这个短语的实际含义,还得追根溯源。

这个短语最早出现于《伊索预言》,故事的梗概是:一匹马和一条牛正在马厩里吃草。这时,一条狗闯进来了,它十分霸道地要马和牛都走开。马和牛十分温和地对它说:可是你是不吃草的呀!这条狗却蛮不讲理地说:我是不吃草,可是我不吃的东西也不能让你们白吃!这样,这条狗霸占了盛满稻草的马槽,却赶走了以草为生的马和牛。而它自己呢,也只能看着稻草而不能吃。

《美国韦氏大词典》将其解释为:The dog who would not allow a horse or ox to eat the hay in a manger, even though he himself did not want it.并且在这一基本意义的基础上又将该片语引申为:A person who selfishly withholds from others something that he himself can not use or does not need.讲到这里,大家可能已经想到了汉语中的一个俗语:『占着茅坑不拉屎』,两者在语意上倒也确实十分贴近。根据具体的语境,这个短语还可以理解为『自私自利的人』,『一毛不拔的人』等。例如:

Don\'t be such a dog in the manger.Lend your bicycle to him since you will not go out this afternoon.还记得上一期带有阿狗的其他谚语和习语吗,我来考察一下大家记住了没

If you want a pretence to whip a dog, say that he ate up the frying-pan.

let sleeping dogs lie.

Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings.1 别这么不够朋友。既然你今天下午不出去就把自行车借给他用一用。

2 欲加之罪, 何患无辞 3 别多事, 别惹麻烦。 4 急不暇择, 饥不择食。

第14篇:英语胎教故事

英语胎教故事 Lily Once in a beautiful meadow a lovely lily bloomed.It was very early in the morning, near the sun rise.A cool wind was blowing all over the meadow and fondling the lawns\' trees.The wind gently touched the lily\'s face and said quietly \"Open your eyes dear and look at the beautiful world.It is the beginning of your lovely life, don\'t mi it\", and paed.The lily opened her eyes slowly.\"Wow! What a beautiful scene!\" The sun was rising up.The horizon was orange and red.As the wind was welcoming the sun all the graes bowed to say \'Hello\' to her.\"Hi Lily, this is your splendid morning\", the sound came from behind.The lily turned and saw a very old tree there.It was very thick but it didn\'t have many leaves.Most of his branches were dry.There was a deep and long scratch on it but still he was standing.He continued: \"You are really beautiful, child\".\"What\'s your name?\" the lily asked.\"My name\'s Willow.Everybody call me Old Wil, you can call me that too.\" \"Do you know everybody in this meadow?\" \"Yes, of course.I know everybody in this meadow.Oh look, the sun is up.What a pity you didn\'t see the sunrise\".\"Don\'t worry, you will see it tomorrow morning.\" A grahopper lived in the tree.He was talkative, a meddler, and pleasure-seeking insect.He heard their conversation and jumped out of the tree and sat on one of the lily\'s leaves and said: \"But there is no tomorrow for you, lilies just live for one day.God gives you beauty, a good scent and ...a short life.\" Poor Lily, she was afraid.She looked at the willow and asked with a shaking voice: \"Is that right? He is lying, isn\'t he?\" The willow said: \"What is the good of a long life? Look at me.What do you see? An old tree without leaves.I live long but I also see floods, drought, and storms.Look at this scratch where lightning hit me.I have lost many of my friends.It is very hard.Imagine what it is like to be me.Everyone has their own beauty.You are very lucky, because you can reach the peak of perfection soon.But for me it will take a long time.Enjoy your life.Laugh, shine, spread your scent, be a friend, be kind, and make the most of your opportunities.Life opens her arms for you.\" The lily became calm and after a few minutes, smiled.She looked around and said: \"You\'re right.Thank you Wil.\" The grahopper jumped away.He was a simple creature and didn\'t understand what Wil said.At that moment two butterflies were flying nearby.They saw the lily and landed on it.They drank her honey dew and flew away and took her pollen with them.A few weeks later, very early in the morning another beautiful lily opened her eyes.Who Is Stronger? Once upon a time there were two men who were very strong.One of them was very kind and was loved because he helped people.But the other one only thought of himself.One day there was a competition in the city for the strongest person.It was very hard and many people failed.At the end of the competition, these two men remained.Both of them were strong and it was hard to say who was stronger.The last test was for each man throw a feather to the other side of a nearby wall.The selfish man laughed and said \"it is very easy\".He took the feather in his fingers, gathered his power and threw it.But it didn\'t go to the other side of the wall.He tried several times but he wasn\'t succeful and became tired.The kind man took the feather, looked at it and then to the wall.He thought for a second, turned to the wall, put the feather on his palm and blew it.The feather slowly flew in the air and went to the other side of the wall.People clapped and could easily see that the stronger man is the one who first uses his mind. Anita\'s Story Anita was sitting alone on a bench on a corner of the school playground.It was a beautiful spring day.Little birds were flying in the sunny sky and singing happily.Some sparrows were quarreling among the branches of the pine tree next to the school and making a lot of noise.Children were playing and shouting in the playground.Everyone was happy except Anita! She was sad and bored.Mi Nightingale, her teacher, was walking in the playground and looking after the children.Then she saw Anita, went towards her and sat beside her.\" Why are you alone?\" She asked.\"Why don\'t you play?\" Anita replied, \"I\'m bored, because I can\'t find anything interesting to do.\" Her teacher said \"Then find your interest.\" Anita wondered \"How?\" \" By looking closer at the things that are around you or by asking people about their interests.\" her teacher replied.For a few days Anita asked others about their interests but didn\'t find them interesting.She was disappointed.She became tired and went to her room.Her mother and father were worried.They tried to help her, but they couldn\'t.She sat on her chair and looked out of the window.Suddenly something hit the window.She said to herself \"What\'s this?\" She opened the window and found a little sparrow at the edge of the window.It was frightened.She took it in her hands.The little sparrow was shaking and it\'s heart beat fast.She ran to her mom and dad and told them what had happened.She asked them if she could keep the sparrow and they said yes.She looked after the little bird and fed it.She took a box, filled it with cotton wool, and made a soft net.After a week paed, Anita let the sparrow go.When it flew away into the blue sky, she was happy! Why? Because, she finally found her interest.Yes, she was interested in animals.From that day she started to learn more about animals by going to zoos and museums.She was not bored anymore! And do you know what she wants to be in the future?!...Yes, you\'re right! She wants to be a vet or zoologist! So let\'s wish her good luck and all the other people in the world who have found their true interests.The Unhappy Frog Once there was a beautiful pond in the shade of a very big weeping willow tree.It was surrounded by beautiful flowers and green graes.When the wind blew, the weeping willow\'s branches started to dance and the scent of flowers and the graes spread out every where.Lots of animals and insects were living in or near this pond.Rabbits, sparrows, fish, butterflies, dragonflies, and a little green frog.His name was Toddy.Yes! Our story is about him.Nobody knew how he came to be there, not even him.He just knew that he was born in that pond and he was alone.Toddy was very kind and all the animals and insects loved him.But suddenly he was faced with a big problem.He lost his belief in himself.When did it start? I\'ll tell you.It started when he became a young frog.He was once very happy with lots of friends.He played with all the animals and insects that lived in or near the pond.The world was very beautiful.But one day everything changed! It was close to spring and Toddy woke up from a long sleep (As you know frogs are cold - blooded and sleep during winters).He was very excited.He knew about metamorphosis and had seen how silkworms change to beautiful butterflies and he knew that frogs are metamorphic too.He learned that from Jito the oldest fish of the pond.He waited a long time for this day.As he jumped towards the water his heart was beating very fast.He sat on a peony and looking down into the water.\"No!\" he shouted.\"What an ugly creature! Oh, no! What an unpleasant voice!\" And you can gue the rest! From that day on he became sad and unhappy.He just sat under the shade of the flowers and cried.His friends were very worried about him and tried to help, but they couldn\'t.One moonlit night when all the animals and insects were asleep, Toddy was awake.He was gloomy and cheerle.Suddenly he started to croak from the depth of his heart.That day a family had come near the pond for picnic.They were sitting outside of their tent and were silently looking at the full moon.They heard Toddy and were impreed with his voice.The daughter of the family said \"What a beautiful sound! It\'s a frog.Isn\'t it, daddy?\" Her father said \"Yes\".\"It\'s near us.Let\'s bring a torch and find it.\" Then she went and came back with a torch.It didn\'t take them much time to find Toddy.\"Oh, father! What a beautiful creature! Look at its beautiful color.I love it\'s croak.\" Toddy was surprised.He thought, \"Are they speaking about me? It\'s impoible!\" He stopped croaking and gave them a puzzled look.The little girl continued \"croak, croak beautiful frog, please!\" The next day Toddy\'s friends found him happy! Finally he believed in himself and learned that appearance is not important.Ability and skill are really the most important parts of everyone\'s life.What are your special gifts?

In the most piteous tones ,the mouse said: \"If you only spare my life now, O lion, I will be sure to repay you.\"

The lion laughed scornfully at this, but he lifted his paw, and let his brave prisoner go free.

It befell(降临,发生) the great lion, not long afterwards, to be in as evil a case as had been the helple mouse, and it came about that his life was to be saved by the keeping of the promise he had ridiculed(嘲笑,戏弄).

He was caught by some hunters, who bound him with strong rope, while they went away to find means for killing him.

Hearing his loud groans(呻吟), the mouse came promptly to his rescue , gnawed(咬,啃) the great rope, and set the royal captive free.

\"You laughed,\" he said, \"at the idea of my being able to be of service to you.You little thought I should repay you.But you see it has come to pa that you are as grateful to me as I was once to you.\"

Mencius\'s Mother

Mencius , who lived from 372 to 289 B.C., is regarded as the greatest sage(圣人) next only to Confucius in Chinese history.There are many stories about this great sage.

Mencius\'s father died early.His mother did all she could to make young Mencius to study hard.She moved the family three times in order that her son would be interested in books.

Once she moved because her neighbor was a butcher.Young Mencius liked to watch him work and imitate him.

Finally the family settled down in the neighborhood of a school.The teacher was a learned man , and the sound of reading could be heard every day.Now young Mencius began to imitate the teacher and liked to read books.

Still Mencius wasn\'t working real hard.Her mother was worried.One day his mother was weaving cotton cloth at home, when she saw her son stop reading his leons.

She took up a knife to cut the cloth on the loom .She told her son that if he didn\'t work hard at his leons, his future would be destroyed like the cloth.

It is said that from then on Mencius buried himself in books and later became one of the greatest thinkers in the country.

Today,the story about the good mother is told and retold throughout the country.

\'What are you doing here?\' he shouted.

Nasreddin thought quickly and then said, 11 am selling my ladder.\'

\'Selling your ladder? In somebody else\'s garden? Do you think I believe such a stupid story?\' said the gardener and came towards Nasreddin with a stick.

\'It is my ladder,\' said Nasreddin, \'and I can sell it where I like.You needn\'t buy it if you don\'t want to.\' And he took his ladder and climbed over the wall again.

靠近纳斯瑞丁的家有一座大花园,花园中有很多果树。一天,纳斯瑞丁看见一颗果树上有些苹果长得很好。他就回家去拿了一个梯子,把梯子靠在花园的高墙上后就爬了上去。然后拿起梯子,把它放在墙那边,下了梯子就进了花园。正好这时,花园的园丁从墙角转过来看见了他。 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

“你在这里干些什么?”花园的园丁叫喊道。

纳斯瑞丁很快想了想,然后说道:“我正在卖我的梯子呢。”

“卖你的梯子?在别人的花园里卖梯子?你认为我会相信这种蠢话吗?”说着,花园的园丁拿着根棍子向纳斯瑞丁走来。

“这是我的梯子,”纳斯瑞丁说:“我想在哪里卖就在哪里卖。如果你不想要就不买好了。”接着,他拿着梯子又爬过了围墙。

Nasreddin woke up in the middle of the night and saw something white in his garden.It seemed to be moving towards the house.

\'That is a thief!, he thought, and he took his gun and shot at him.Then he went back to bed, because he was too frightened to go out of the house in the dark.

The next morning Nasreddin went out and saw one of his white shirts hanging\' on the clothes-line in the garden.His wife had washed it the day before and hung it out to dry.Now it had a bullet-hole right through the middle of it.

\'My God,\' said Nasreddin, 11 was lucky last night.If I had been wearing that shirt, the bullet would have killed me!\' And he called his neighbours together and asked them to thank God for saving him.

纳斯瑞丁半夜醒来,看见一个白色的东西在他花园里。看起来好像在向屋子这边移动着。

“是贼!”纳斯瑞丁想,接着他拿出枪向贼射击。然后,他又上床睡觉了,因为他害怕,所以不敢在黑暗中走出屋子。

第二天早晨,纳斯瑞丁出来看见他的一件白衬衣挂在花园里的晒衣绳上。是他的妻子前一天将衬衣洗好后挂在外面晾干的。现在在它中间有一个子弹孔正好穿过。

“我的天,”纳斯瑞丁说:“昨夜我真是走运,要是我穿上这件衬衣,子弹就把我打死了!”接着他就把邻居们召集在一起, 并要他们一块儿感谢上帝救了他的命。 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

When Nasreddin was a boy, he never did what he was told, so his father always told him to do the opposite of what he wanted him to do.

One day, when the two were bringing sacks of flour home on their donkeys, they had to cro a shallow river.When they were in the middle of it, one of the sacks on Nasreddin\'s donkey began to slip, so his father said, \'That sack is nearly in the water! Pre down hard on it!\'

His father of course expected that he would do the opposite, but this time Nasreddin did what his father had told him to do.He preed down on the sack and it went under the water.Of course, the flour was lost.

\'What have you done, Nasreddin?\' his father shouted angrily.

\'Well, Father\', said Nasreddin, ,this time I thought that I would do just what you told me, to show you how stupid your orders always are.\'

当纳斯瑞丁还是个孩子的时候,他从不照着别人说的去做,所以他爸爸想让他做什么时,总是反着说。

一天,他们俩用毛驴驮着几袋面粉回家时,他们路过必经的一条浅水河。当他们走到河中间时,纳斯瑞丁赶的驴子驮的一个口袋开始滑动,所以他爸爸说:“那个口袋快要滑到水里了!使劲将它向下压!”

纳斯瑞丁的爸爸当然预料他会反着做,但是这一次纳斯瑞丁却照着他爸爸说的做了。他向下压口袋,口袋掉到了水里。当然,面粉也就完了。

“你干了些什么,纳斯瑞丁?”他爸爸生气地叫了起来。

“哦,爸爸,”纳斯瑞丁说:“这一次我想我偏要照你说的做,让你看看你的指挥一向是多么愚蠢。”

Nasreddin had lost his donkey.He was going about looking for it everywhere, and while he was looking, he was singing gaily.

One of his neighbours saw him and said, \'Hullo, Nasreddin.What are you doing?\' 外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

\'I am looking for my donkey,\' answered Nasreddin.

\'Don\'t you know where it is?\' asked the neighbour.

\'No, I don\'t.\'

\'Then why are you singing so gaily? Usually when somebody loses something, he is sad.\'

\'Yes, that is quite true,\' answered Nasreddin.\'But you see, I am not yet sure that my donkey is lost.My last hope is that it is behind that hill over there.If you wait a little, you will hear how I will cry and complain if it is not there!\'

纳斯瑞丁的毛驴丢了。他四处寻找,并且一边找一边高兴地唱着歌。

一个邻居看见他这副样子,就问:“喂,纳斯瑞丁,你在干嘛?”

“我正在找我的毛驴呢,”纳斯瑞丁回答。

“你不知道驴子在哪儿吗?”邻居问道。

“我不知道。”

“那么,你为什么还这么高兴地唱着歌呢?通常人们丢失了东西时总是很悲伤的。”

“是的,你说的很对,”纳斯瑞丁回答说:“但是你要知道,我并没有认为我的驴子确实已经丢了。我的最后一个希望是驴就在那边的那座山后面。如果驴不在那里的话,等一会儿,你就会听到我是怎样的哭喊和抱怨了。”

One winter Nasreddin had very little money.His crops had been very bad that year, and he had to live very cheaply.He gave his donkey le food, and when after two days the donkey looked just the same, he said to himself, \'The donkey was used to eating a lot.Now he is quickly getting used to eating le; and soon he will got used to living on almost nothing.\'

Each day Nasreddin gave.the donkey a little le food, until it was hardly eating anything.外语下载中心http://down.tingroom.com

Then one day, when the donkey was going to market with a load of wood on its back, it suddenly died.\'How unlucky I am,\' said Nasreddin.\'Just when my donkey had got used to eating hardly anything, it came to the end of its days in this world.\' 1.What was the matter with Nasreddin one winter?

一年冬天,纳斯瑞丁身上只有很少一点钱了。这年他的庄稼长得很不好,他只得十分节省地过日子。他给驴子喂的食料比过去少了。两天以后,驴子看起来和往日一样,纳斯瑞丁就自言自语地说:“这头驴过去习惯于吃得很多,现在它很快就适应吃得比过去少了;很快它就会适应几乎什么都不吃了。”

以后,纳斯瑞丁每天一点一点地减少喂驴的食料,直到这驴几乎什么都不吃。

后来有一天,当这驴子驮着一驮木头赶集去的时候,它突然死了。“我真是太倒霉了,”纳斯瑞丁说:“就在我的驴子刚刚适应几乎什么都不用吃时,它在这世上却又活到头了。

他们都承认这是事实,但纳斯瑞丁除外。他说:“不,我现在的力气和我年青时一样大。”

“这话是什么意思呢?”他的朋友们说:“这可能吗?你解释一下!”

“哦,”纳斯瑞丁说:“我田里的一个角落里有一块石头。我年青时常常使劲把它挪走,但是我挪不动它,因为我只有那点力气。现在我老了,当我使劲把它挪走时,我还是挪不动它。”

New Discovery

A farmer was visiting the big city for the first time.Entering an office building, he saw a pudgy older woman step into a small room.The doors closed, lights flashed, and after a while the door slid open and a beautiful young model stepped off the elevator.

Blinking in amazement, the hillbilly drawled, \"I should have brought my wife!\"

An Amercian, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident.They arrived at the gates of heaven, where a flustered St.Peterexplained that there had been a mistake.\"Give me $500 each,\" he said, \"and I\'ll return you to earth as if the whole thing never happened.\"

\"Done!\" said the American.Instantly, he found himself standing unhurt near the scene.

\"Where are the others?\" asked a medic.

\"Last I knew,\" said the American, \"the Scot was huggling price, and the Canadian was arguing that his government should pay.\"

“成交!”美国人说。立刻,他发现自己毫不损伤地站在现场附近。

“其他人在哪儿?”一名医生问道。

“我离开之前,”那名美国人说,“我看见英格兰人正在砍价,而那名加拿大人正在分辩说应该由他的政府来出这笔钱。”

When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it.It was written in ink and said, \"This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you.\" Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.

Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, but they too read the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl hurried

3 into the plane.The soldier, who was watching the paengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeededin having the company of the girl during the whole trip.译文:

士兵的高招

由于生意方面的事,罗宾逊先生得出趟门。因为有点紧急,他决定坐飞机。乘机旅行时,他喜欢靠窗坐,故而一登机,他就寻找一个靠窗的座位。他发现只有一个靠窗的座位还空着。在那空座位边坐着一名士兵。令罗宾逊先生纳闷的是,这位士兵没有坐靠窗的位置。罗宾逊先生不管那些,他马上径直朝那个空座位走去。

然而,等到了那儿,他看见座位上有则启事,是用钢笔写的:“为保持装载平衡,特预设该位置,谢谢合作。”罗宾逊先生还从来没有在飞机上见过如此不同寻常的启事。不过,他想飞机上一定装了什么特别重的物品,于是他找了个不靠窗的位置。

又有两三个乘客试图坐在那个士兵旁的靠窗座位上,他们看到那则启事就走开了。当快满座时,一位非常美丽的姑娘匆匆走进机舱。一直在注意进舱旅客的那个士兵赶紧拿掉他旁边空座位上的启事。士兵用这种办法,成功地找到了一位姑娘一路作伴。

Keys? Ki?

A friend of mine was giving an English leon to a cla of adult who had recently come to live in the United States.After placing quite a number of everyday objects on a table, he asked various members of the cla to give him the ruler, the book, the pen and so on.The cla went very smoothly and the students seemed interested and serious about the work that they were engaged in until when my friend turned to an Italian student and said, \"Give me the kays.\" The man looked surprised and somewhat at a lo.Seeing this, my friend thought that the student hadn\'t heard him clearly, so he repeated.\"Give me the kays.\" The Italian shrugged his shoulders.Then, he threw his arms around the teacher\'s neck and kied him on both cheeks. 译文:

钥匙还是接吻

我的一位朋友在给一个成人学生班级上英语课。他们都是新近来美国生活的。在一张桌子上摆了许多日常用品之后,他请全班同学给他挑出尺子,书本,钢笔等。课进行得井然有序,学生们对自己所做的似乎很感兴趣,也很认真。后来轮到一名来自意大利的学生,我的朋友说:“给我钥匙。”那人看起来非常吃惊,也有点手足无措。看到这种情况,我的朋友想是他没有听清楚,于是又重复了一遍:“给我钥匙。”那位意大利学生耸了耸肩。接着,他伸出胳膊搂住老师的脖子在双颊上亲了两下。

First Flight Mr.Johnson had never been up in an aerophane before and he had read a lot about air accidents, so one day when a friend offered to take him for a ride in his own small phane, Mr.Johnson was very worried about accepting.Finally, however, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe, and Mr.Johnson boarded the plane.

His friend started the engine and began to taxi onto the runway of the airport.Mr.Johnson had heard that the most dangerous part of a flight were the take-off and the landing, so he was extremely frightened and closed his eyes.

After a minute or two he opened them again, looked out of the window of the plane, and said to his friend, \"Look at those people down there.They look as small as ants, don\'t they?\"

\"Those are ants,\" answered his friend.\"We\'re still on the ground.\"

译文:

第一次坐飞机

约翰逊先生从前未乘过飞机,他读过许多关于飞行事故的报道。所以,有一天一位朋友邀请他乘自己的小飞机飞行时,约翰逊先生非常担心,不敢接受。不过,由于朋友不断保证说飞行是很安全的,约翰逊先生终于被说服了,登上了飞机。

他的朋友启动引擎开始在机场跑道上滑行。约翰逊先生听说飞行中最危险的是起飞与降落,所以他吓得紧闭双眼。

过了一两分钟,他睁开双眼朝窗外望去,接着对朋友说道:“看下面那些人,他们看起来就象蚂蚁一样小,是不是?”

“那些就是蚂蚁,”他的朋友答道,“我们还在地面上。”

第20篇:猫和老鼠 英语故事

There was once a house that was overrun with mice.A cat heard of this, and said to herself, \"That\'s the place for me,\" and off she went and took up her quarters in the house, and caught the mice one by one and ate them.At last the mice could stand it no longer, and they determined1 to take to their holes and stay there.\"That\'s awkward,\" said the cat to herself: \"the only thing to do is to coax2 them out by a trick.\" So she considered a while, and then climbed up the wall and let herself hang down by her hind3 legs from a peg4, and pretended to be dead.By and by a mouse peeped out and saw the cat hanging there.\"Aha!\" it cried, \"you\'re very clever, madam, no doubt: but you may turn yourself into a bag of meal hanging there, if you like, yet you won\'t catch us coming anywhere near you.\"

If you are wise you won\'t be deceived by the innocent airs of those whom you have once found to be dangerous.

从前,有一座房子,里面的老鼠泛滥成灾。一只猫听到此事,便自言自语的说:“那正是我要去的地方。”于是她走到那座房子里住下了,一只接一只地 抓老鼠,然后吃掉他们,最好,老鼠们再也无法忍受下去,决定躲到自己的洞里,再也不出来,“这还真不好办了,”猫自言自语道,“若想骗它们出来,只能耍个 花招了。”她琢磨了一会儿,然后爬上墙,用后腿钩住木桩倒挂下来,假装已经死了。过了一会儿,一只老鼠向外窥探,看到了挂在那里的猫。“啊哈!”老鼠大 叫,“夫人,你还真聪明,不过,就算你假装成一袋食粮挂在那里,你也骗不了我们去接近你。”

如果有足够的智慧,面对那些曾认定的危险人物所假装出来的无辜,你也不会上当受骗。
