英語小故事3

　　No Complaint, No Maturation

　　In a restaurant, I met him.

　　He was grumbling continuously ever since he sat down, complaining hiscompany for little salary after eternally hard working; the unjust of his linemanager who merely promote the one ingratiate him with he; the unkind ofcolleagues for ganging up with and beating someone while

　　pretending to be wellwith Finally, I caught the moment he stopped and enquired him cautiously: sinceyou are so unhappy with your work, why not changing ? he stupefied with aglance to me seemingly an alien “跳槽?Where should I go? You know that the economy isin the boom.” I have got it. Actually, his job was not so terrible.

　　After the dinner, he said good-bye to me heartily and left me

　　histelephone specially. However, I have never connected him ever. For me, it isout of consideration to make a friend with 一個怒氣沖天的人.

　　It reminds me 阿瑟·阿什, a well-know tennisplayer in America. He happened to catch the AIDS when he got a bloodtransfusion. A pile of his fans showed their sympathy and blamed the unjustGod. While 阿瑟·阿什 declared: “I get adeadly cancer, but a would not complain the God and myself because I know thatsomething we can not run away. I have no choice but to face when the daycomes.”

　　Genius! In his words, there is calmness, magnanimous, open-minded, aswell as the demeanors of a mature man. Unfortunately, we complaint everythingwhen we have to face the difficulty and setbacks in reality:

　　we alwayscomplaining that the God is unfair; the crucial fate, the grim human beingsItis worth doing if his dissatisfaction go away, depression disappear, feelingsbecome motivational after complaint. But, the problem is, as a mass of shabbyand cool fog, the complaint is so misleading that confuses his mind and thendrops him deeper and deeper in the muddy.

　　Life is like a journey, from ignorant to mature. And I believe thattruly mature is start from no complaint.

　　翻譯：成熟，從不抱怨開始

　　遇見他，是在一個飯局上。

　　一落座，他就喋喋不休地抱怨起來：怨公司不好，拼死拼活一個月，拿到手里的工資沒多少;怨上司不公，誰擅長拍馬就重用誰;怨同事不善，成天勾心斗角明爭暗奪終于，在他暫停抱怨的間隙，我小心翼翼地問了一句：既然工作如此不稱心，為什么不跳槽呢?他一愣，奇怪地看了我一眼，似乎在看一個外星人。 “跳槽?現(xiàn)在經(jīng)濟這么不景氣，往哪里跳?”一這下我算明白了，原來他的工作并非一無是處啊。

　　散席后。盡管他熱情地與我道別，并且特意留下他的電話，但我，卻再未聯(lián)系過他。對我來說，一個怨氣沖天的人，是不值得交往的。

　　不由得想起阿瑟·阿什。這位美國著名的網(wǎng)球名將，在一次輸血時感染了艾滋病。對于他的遭遇，許多球迷深表同情，且因此責怪老天對他太不公平。對此，阿瑟·阿什說道：“知今，我身患絕癥，我不怨天，也不怪自己;因為我知道有些事人無法左右，當不幸來臨時，我們只能面對。”

　　說得多么好!在這段話里，我們看到了從容，看到了平靜，看到了坦蕩，看到了豁達，看到了一位成熟男人的.風范。然而遺憾的是，在現(xiàn)實生活中，面對困難和挫折，我們聽得最多的，還是抱怨：怨蒼天不公，怨命運殘酷，怨人情冷酷如果說一個人抱怨之后，他的不滿與郁悶能夠隨風而去，心境能夠變得開朗起來，那他的抱怨還算是有價值的。可問題在于，抱怨恰如一股陰冷潮濕的黑霧，足以遮蔽他的眼光迷惑他的心智，最終讓佑在自怨自艾的泥潭里越陷越深。

　　人生就是一段旅程，是一段從青澀走向成熟的旅程。而我相信，真正的成熟，是從不抱怨開始的。

He asked the doctor to come to the house and give him an injection. Although I was very young at that time, but I can feel my grandfather's selfless love for me.

　　我從小在姥姥、姥爺家長大，他們?yōu)槲业某砷L付出了許多。

　　記得五歲那年，我連夜高燒不退，姥爺一會兒給我量體溫，一會兒給我擦身體，幾乎一夜沒合眼。凌晨4點我的'燒終于退了�？傻诙炖褷攨s因為沒有休息好高壓升到180，頭暈的上不了班，還請了醫(yī)生到家里來給老爺打針。雖然我當時很小還不懂事，但我能感受到姥爺對我無私的愛。

英語小故事6

　　A country mouse invited his cousin who lived in the city to come visit him. The city mouse was so disappointed with the sparse meal which was nothing more than a few kernels of corn and a couple of dried berries.

　　"My poor cousin," said the city mouse, "you hardly have anything to eat! I do believe that an ant could eat better! Please do come to the city and visit me, and I will show you such rich feasts, readily available for the taking."

　　So the country mouse left with his city cousin who brought him to a splendid feast in the city's alley. The country mouse could not believe his eyes. He had never seen so much food in one place. There was bread, cheese, fruit, cereals, and grains of all sorts scattered about in a warm cozy portion of the alley.

　　The two mice settled down to eat their wonderful dinner, but before they barely took their first bites, a cat approached their dining area. The two mice scampered away and hid in a small uncomfortable hole until the cat left.

　　Finally, it was quiet, and the unwelcome visitor went to prowl somewhere else. The two mice ventured out of the hole and resumed their abundant feast. Before they could get a proper taste in their mouth, another visitor intruded on their dinner, and the two little mice had to scuttle away quickly.

　　"Goodbye," said the country mouse, "You do, indeed, live in a plentiful city, but I am going home where I can enjoy my dinner in peace."

英語小故事8

　　善有善報，惡有惡報

　　A woman baked chapatti for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”

　　一個女人給家人烤薄餅，還留出一個給饑腸轆轆的路人。她總是把留出的那個放在窗臺上，每天都有一個駝背的.人來拿走薄餅。他沒說過一句“謝謝”，反而總是邊走邊咕噥著：“善有善報，惡有惡報！”

　　The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” One day, she decided to do away with him. She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!

　　女人很生氣，她自言自語地說：“這個駝背人從沒說過謝謝，卻每天都重復這句話，是什么意思呀？”一天，她決定弄死他，就在為他準備的薄餅上下了毒。

　　As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”

　　她正要把餅放在窗臺上，手就開始顫抖了，她說：“我在做什么？”她馬上把餅扔進了火里，重新做了一張。一切照舊，駝背人來了，拿起薄餅，咕噥著：“善有善報，惡有惡報！”

　　Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.

　　每天女人把餅放窗臺上時都為去遠方賺錢的兒子祈禱。

　　That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He was hungry and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, “Mom, it’s a miracle I’m here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. He said, “Your need is greater than mine!”

　　那天晚上，有人敲門，她打開門驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)兒子站在門口，他很餓很虛弱。一看見媽媽他就說：“媽媽，我能回來真是奇跡。離家還有一英里遠的時候，我太餓了走不動了。我差點兒就死了，但就在那時一個老駝背人路過，他很善良給了我一整張餅。他說：‘你比我更需要它’�！�

　　She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son!

　　她想起了那天早上做的有毒的餅，要不是她把餅燒了，就會被她兒子吃了！

　　It was then that she realized the significance of the words: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” Do good and don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.

　　那時她才意識到這句話的重要性：“善有善報，惡有惡報！”多行善舉，即使當時不被人感激也要堅持下去。

英語小故事9

　　Mr. Coyote meets Mr. Snail

　　Mr. Coyote was getting very old and had to be more careful for his own safety. He had been walking for hours and hours through a beautiful valley when he came upon a large tree. Mr. Coyote was very tired and wanted to rest but he also needed to be safe. He kindly asked the tree, "Please open up so I can rest safely in your care".

　　The tree opened up so that Mr. Coyote could go inside to rest, then it closed to keep him safe. Mr. Coyote slept for hours. When he woke up he could not remember what he had said to make the tree open. He said, "Let me out Mr. Tree", but nothing happened. He said, "Please let me out now!" and again nothing happened. The tree didn抰 even creak. Mr. Coyote knocked on the tree, but it would not open up. Mr. Tree was upset with Mr. Coyote for not having said please the first time he spoke to the tree! It let him rest a little longer.

　　Because the birds heard Mr. Coyote banging on the inside of the tree, they came down to peck on the tree to help get him out. But they were too small and the tree was just too big! Finally Mr. Woodpecker came down and pecked a hole in the tree. Although it was a very small hole, it caused Mr. Woodpecker to get a bent beak! This meant he couldn抰 peck on the tree any more.

　　Mr. Coyote put one hand out the hole but he could not fit through. He then tried his leg but still he could not fit through. He had to come up with a way to escape since Mr. Woodpecker's beak was now bent. Mr. Coyote knew there had to be a way. "Ah, come on you old ugly tree," he cried, "Just let me out!" But still nothing happened, just the silence around him.

　　Mr. Coyote decided to take off his arms one at a time and put them through the small hole. He then put his legs through one at a time by taking them off. He put his body through by taking it off. This was working out fine. I抣l show you Mr. Tree, you can抰 keep me in here, he thought.

　　Next Mr. Coyote tried to put his head through the hole, but it was too big. His ears were in the way. So he took off his ears and put them through the hole. He again tried his head, but his eyes were too big. Mr. Coyote took his eyes off and put them through the hole.

　　Mr. Raven saw the eyes and fle

　　w down to take them. Then Mr. Raven flew back up high in the tree with Mr. Coyote's eyes. They were such beautiful eyes, blue like the sky, and would be a treasure to put in his hiding spot!

　　Mr. Coyote finally put his head through the hole. He then put himself back together. One piece at a time he became a whole coyote again. But after he put his head on he could not find his eyes. He was feeling all over. His ears were listening to hear him touch his eyes, but not a sound could be heard from his eyes. His fingers were being careful while feeling around, but still no eyes were found.

　　Mr. Coyote knew he could not let the animals know he was blind. He felt his way to a wild rose bush; he then put two rose petals in for his eyes. This would cover the blindness for a little while, but he would have to keep looking for his eyes. Surely they were close by!

　　Along came Mr. Snail who saw Mr. Coyote with the rose petals in his eyes. He asked Mr. Coyote, "Why do you have those rose petals in your eyes?"

　　Mr. Coyote said, "Because they are very beautiful. They have lovely colors. You can try them if you want and I will hold your eyes."

　　Mr. Snail took off his eyes. He put them into Mr. Coyote hands and tried the rose petals in his eyes. Then Mr. Coyote put Mr. Snail's eyes into his head and ran off with his long tail wagging.

　　To this day Mr. Snail is crawling with his head down looking for his eyes. And all coyotes have brown eyes instead of blue; this is because Mr. Coyote was naughty when he took Mr. Snail抯 eyes. And Mr. Raven still has those beautiful blue eyes in his secret hiding place, but he cannot return them because the secret hiding place was so secret not even Mr. Raven can find it!

英語小故事14

　　Once upon a time a little old woman and a little old man lived in a cottage. One day the little old woman made a gingerbread man. She gave him currants for eyes and cherries for buttons. She put him in the oven to bake. The little old woman and little old man were very hungry and wanted to eat the gingerbread man. As soon as he was cooked, the little old woman opened the oven door. The gingerbread man jumped out of the tin and ran out of the open window shouting, 'Don't eat me!' The little old woman and little old man ran after the gingerbread man. 'Stop! Stop!' they yelled.The gingerbread man did not look back. He ran on saying, 'Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!' Down the lane he sped when he came to a pig. 'Stop! Stop! I would like to eat you," shouted the pig. The gingerbread man was too fast. He ran on saying "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.”

　　A little further on he met a cow. 'Stop! Stop! little man,' called the hungry cow, 'I want to eat you.' Again the gingerbread man was too fast. He sped on down the road saying, "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man." The cow began to chase the gingerbread man along with the pig, and the little old woman. But the gingerbread man was too fast for them. It was not long before the gingerbread man came to a horse. 'Stop! Stop!' shouted the horse. 'I want to eat you, little man.' But the gingerbread man did not stop. He said,'Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.'

　　The horse joined in the chase. The gingerbread man laughed and laughed, until he came to a river. 'Oh no!' he cried, 'They will catch me. How can I cross the river?' A sly fox came out from behind a tree. 'I can help you cross the river,' said the fox. 'Jump on to my tail and I will swim across.' 'You won't eat me, will you?' said the gingerbread man. 'Of course not,' said the fox. 'I just want to help.' The gingerbread man climbed on the fox's tail. Soon the gingerbread man began to get wet. 'Climb onto my back,' said the fox. So the gingerbread man did. As he swam the fox said, 'You are too heavy. I am tired. Jump onto my nose.' So the gingerbread man did as he was told. No sooner had they reached the other side, than the fox tossed the gingerbread man up in the air. He opened his mouth and 'Snap!' that was the end of the gingerbread man.
