英語小故事2
There was a bookseller who did not like to pay for anything. One day a big box of books fell on his foot.“Go to the doctor,”said his wife，“show that foot to him.”“No,”he said,“I'll wait until the doctor comes to our shop next time. Then I'll ask him about my foot. If I go to see him, I shall have to pay.”The next day the doctor came to the shop to buy some books. The bookseller told the doctor about his bad foot. The doctor looked at it and promised to help.He took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it.“Buy this and put it on the foot before you go to bed every night.”he said.“Thank you.”said the bookseller.“And now, sir, here are your books.”“How much?”asked the doctor.“Two pounds.”“Good,”said the doctor.“I shall not have to pay you anything today.”“Why?”asked the bookseller.“I have examined your foot. I want two pounds for that. If people come to my house, I ask them to pay one pound for a small thing like that. But when I go to their houses, I usually charge two pounds. And I came here today, didn't I? Bye-bye!”

英語小故事4
If you put a buzzard（禿鷹） in a pen（圍欄） six to eight feet square and entirely1 open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable2 nimble（敏捷的） creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle3 about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation4 from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations5, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
英語小故事5
The old man and Death
An old man was gathering sticks in a forest.
At last he grew very tired and hopeless. He threw down all the sticks and cried out, "I cannot bear this life any longer. Ah, I wish Death would come and take me!"
As he spoke, Death appeared, and said to him, "What would you do, old man? I heard you call me."
"Please, sir," replied the old man, "would you help me lift this bundle of sticks up to my shoulder?"

英語小故事9
ladies and gentlemen:
Good afternoon,
Today I would like to begin with a story. There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.
英語小故事10
THRIFT
There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.
I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

英語小故事12
時間很重要
Time is important. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. There are 365 days in a year. Once a day runs out in our life, it will never come back again. If we love our lives, we shouldn’t waste time. We must control time. The best way to use time is to plan it well.
When making the study plan, we should remember two things. First, be realistic. Don’t try to do too many things. Second, a good study plan should be flexible. We may make some small changes on a weekly basis but follow the same pattern.
Let’s be the master of time, start out plan now.
譯文
時間很重要。人人每天有二十四小時，每年有三百六十五天，一旦我們生命中的一天消逝，就再也不會回來。我們要是熱愛生命，就不應該浪費時間。我們應該掌握時間。使用時間的最好辦法就是好好計劃時間。
在制定學習計劃時，我們應該記住兩件事。第一，應該現(xiàn)實一些，不要企圖干太多的事情。第二，好的計劃要靈活一點。我們可以每周做些小的變動，但總的模式不變。
讓我們當時間的'主人，今天就開始我們的計劃。
英語小故事13
Today is an excellent day for small improvements. Whatever is working for you, find a way to improve it just a little. There’s no need to make a huge change, just a small one, something you can do right now.
If you called just one additional customer each day, over the course of the next month you would talk to about 20 new people. If you learned just one more new word each day, in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words.
Small improvements can add up over time into big accomplishments. Look around you. Consider the work you do each day. Think about how you could do it just a little bit better.
In a marathon race, each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher. Yet over the course of the race, that small difference adds up in a big way.
Do just a little bit more today, and tomorrow too, and each day after that. Anyone can make just a small improvement, and that can make a big, big difference.
翻譯：再多一點點
今天就是你可以做改進的極好的一天。無論你在做什么,找一個方法去做一點點的改進。不用做太大的改變,只要一點點——你現(xiàn)在可以做到的一點點。
如果你每天多給一個顧客打電話的話,一個月下來你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你又多認識了差不多二十個人。如果每天多學會一個新詞,過一年,你的詞匯量將會增加300多個。
小小的改進能夠逐步積累成大的成就。觀察你的周圍。思考你每天所做的工作。英語短文想一下你怎么能做得更好一點。
在馬拉松比賽中,冠軍的每一步都只比第一百名的選手的步伐大一點點、快一點點。英語短文但是在比賽過程中,那些小小的不同積累成了巨大的區(qū)別。
今天、明天、今后的每一天盡力做更多一點點。任何人都能做一點小小的改進,但那小小的改進將會起到非常大、非常大的作用。
五：Facing the Reality in Silence
Thetruest and most exPssive thought was hardly be exPssed.
Weall face it alone in silence to the most important thing in life. We can talkoccasionally about love, loneliness, happiness, miseries, death and so on, butthe true meaning is hard to deliver by words. I cannot tell others how gentlemy love is; how desperate my loneliness is; my enjoyable happiness is; howdePssive my miseries is; how ridiculous my death is. I have no choice but tohide then deeply in my heart. All what I said and wrote but the product ofthinking, while thinking, to some extend, is a kind of escape which from theparticular to general, fate to life and the abyss of silence to the bank oflanguage. If they have not become
pure/solely and abstract idea, it is merelybecause they have newly struggled out from the silence and with something hardto tell in their bodies.
Iam not to deny the possibility of communication between human beings, but thecondition. It is silence, instead of words.had an excellent explanation: the nature of silence tells the nature of one’ssoul. There is no any words may have a possibility to make a communicationbetween their soul if the two cannot share the same silence. To those who havenot solved the same questions in silence, even profound philosophy is only somepolite formulas. In fact, those superficial reader have no ability to identifythe profound philosophy and abstract thoughts, proverb and polite formulas,philosophy, insipid/prosaic and commonplace,the knowledge of Buddha dharma and deceitful trick. One’s ability in wordscomPhension is based on his understanding to silence and eternally based onhis silence; that is his capacity of soul. Therefore, I insist that the lessonof one who is determined to seek the life philosophy is silence----to face hisimportant problem of sale in silence. Until he has enough accumulation and tootires to bear, all windows opened to him. This is the way that he not onlyunderstands the limited words, but also the unlimited information behind thesilence of words.
翻譯：在沉默中面對
最真實，最切己的人生感悟是找不到言辭的。
對于人生最重大的問題，我們沒跟人都是能在沉默中獨自面對。我們可以一般的談論愛情、孤獨、幸福、苦難、死亡等等，但是，那屬于每個人自己的真正意義始終在話語之外。我無法告訴別人我的愛情有多么溫柔，我的孤獨有多么絕望，我的幸福有多么美麗，我的幸福有多么美麗，我的苦難有多么沉重，我的死亡有多么荒誕。我只能把這一切藏在心中，我所說出的寫出的東西只是先思考的產(chǎn)物，而一切思考在某種意義上都是一種逃避，從最個別的逃向一般的，從命運逃向生活，從沉默的深淵逃向語言的彼岸。如果說他們尚未淪為純粹的'空洞的概念，那也只是因為他們是從沉默中掙扎出來的，身上還散發(fā)著深淵里不可名狀的事物的七夕。
我不否認人與人之間溝通的可能，但我確信其前提是沉默，而不是言辭。美特林克說得好：沉默的性質(zhì)解釋了一個人靈魂的性質(zhì)。在不能共享沉默的兩個人之間，任何言辭都無法使他們的靈魂發(fā)生溝通。對于未曾在沉默中面對過相同問題的人來說，在深刻的哲理也只是一些套話，事實上那些淺薄的讀者奇缺分不清深刻的感悟和空洞的感嘆，格言和套話，哲理和老生常談，平淡和平庸，佛性和故弄玄虛的禪機。一個人言辭理解的深度取決于他對沉默理解的深度，歸根結(jié)底取決于她的沉默，亦即他的靈魂的深度。所以，在我看來，凡有志探究人生真理的人首要功夫便是沉默，在沉默中面對他靈魂中真正屬于自己的重大問題。到他有了足夠的孕育并因此感到不堪重負的時候，一切言語之門便向他打開了，這是他不但理解了有限的言辭，而且理解了言辭背后的沉默著的背后無限的存在。
英語小故事14
Mice and bull
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing. The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard. The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall.
The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.
As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety. As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked:
"It's not always the big people who come off best. Sometimes the small ones win, you know."
【譯文】
老鼠和公牛
有一次，公牛躺著打盹，一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒氣沖沖地跳起來，低著頭追老鼠，一直追過院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多了，從容地鉆到墻洞里去了。
公牛一次又一次地猛撞墻壁，盡管頭撞腫了，角撞裂了，老鼠卻安然待在洞里。過了一會兒，公牛不撞了，倒下歇著。
公牛剛睡著，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑過院子，又咬了公牛一口 ?? 這回咬了鼻子 ?? 又跑回安全的地方去。當公牛毫無辦法地吼叫時，老鼠吱吱叫道： "大人物并不總占上風。有時小人物也會取勝。"

一天晚上，我十幾歲的兒子查理，帶著九個朋友回到家，他們都扎了耳朵眼兒。當兒子的'奶奶聽說了這件事時，她問我兒子為什么要這樣做，查理告訴她:“是同輩的壓力�！�
"You should be a leader instead of a follower，”Grandma said.
奶奶說：“你應該做個領頭的，”
"I was,"he replied. "It was my idea.”
