英語小故事 篇1
In the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.
I have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.
I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a room i find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i have part of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.
I'll sit down.
英語小故事 篇2
Two bees met in a field. One said to the other, "How are things going?" "Really bad," said the second bee. "The weather has been cold, wet and damp, and there aren't any flowers, so I can't make honey."
兩只蜜蜂在一塊田里相遇了。一只說：“最近怎么樣啊？”“不怎么樣。”另一只說，“天氣涼了又潮濕，花都不開了，我也沒法采蜜了。”
"No problem," said the first bee. "Just fly down five blocks and turn left. Keep going until you see all the cars. There's a Bar Mitzvah going on and there are all kinds of fresh flowers and fresh fruit."
“沒事的，”第一只蜜蜂說，“飛五個街區然后左轉。看到汽車之前都一直向前飛。有一個戒酒會，那里有各種鮮花和水果。”
"Thanks for the tip," said the second bee, and flew away.
“謝啦，”第二只蜜蜂說，飛走了。
A few hours later the two bees ran into each other again. The first bee asked, "How'd it go?"
幾個小時后這兩只蜜蜂又相遇了。第一只蜜蜂問：“怎么樣啊？”
"Great!" said the second bee. "It was everything you said it would be. There was plenty of fruit and, oh, such huge floral arrangements on every table."
“太棒了！”第二只蜜蜂說，“你說的都成真了。有好多水果，每張桌子上都有許多盛開的花。”
"Uh, what's that thing on your head?" asked the first bee.
“哦，你頭頂上是什么？”第一只蜜蜂說。
"That's my yarmulke," said the second bee. "I didn't want them to think I was a WASP."
“是我的`圓頂小帽，”第二只蜜蜂說。“我不想讓他們覺得我是一個易動怒的人。”

英語小故事 篇4
A long time ago and far away there lived a King and a Queen。They were very happy，for their first child，a girl，had been born。
"We must have a grand christening for her，"said the King，who was delighted to have a daughter。
"We must invite all the fairies of the kingdom to bless her，"said the Queen。
"How many are there now？"asked the King。
"Twelve or thirteen，"said his wife。"Send the invitations。We'll soon find out。"
There were twelve fairies，and they were all sent invitations。A thirteen fairy had not been heard of for so long that it was presumed that she was dead。No invitation was sent。The day of the christening was sunny and bright。The Princes was named Briar Rose，and the fairies began to give their gifts。
"She shall be beautiful，"said the first。
"She shall be wise，"said the second。
"She shall be good，"said the third。
"She shall be kind，"said the fourth。
The gifts continued in this way，wishing all that was good for Briar Rose。Eleven of the twelve fairies had given their gifts when the room suddenly went dark。After a great flash of light a small dark figure stood in front of the King and Queen。
It was the thirteenth fairy。
"why wasn't I invited to the christening？"she screamed。
She was furious at being left out。
"All the fairies of the kingdom have given their blessings。Well，here's mine for the Princess。On her sixteentth birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die。"
Another flash of light and the fairy was gone。
"But we thought she was dead，"said the King。"What can we do？"
The Queen was in tears。
The twelfth fairy stepped forward。
There is still my gift for Briar Rose，"she said。"The fairy's curse cannot be undone，but I can change it a little。She will fall into a deep sleep that will last one hundred years，"There was a great hubbub in the hall as everyone discussed the events。
The following day the King issued a proclamation，ordering that all spinning wheels and spindles were to be destroyed。Throughout the land there were great fires as the spinning wheels were burned。

她尖叫道，“為什么我沒有收到洗禮邀請？”
她因為被排除在外非常生氣。
“所有的仙女都已經給出了祝福，下面是我的，在16歲生日的時候，公主將會被紡錘刺到手然后死去。”
又一道閃電之后，仙女離開了。
國王說，“我們還以為她已經死了，我們現在能怎么辦呢？”
王后開始哭泣。
第十二位仙女走出來了。
她說，“我的祝福還沒有送出，這位仙女的詛咒會實現的，但是我能做出一點改變。她會陷入沉睡，睡上一百年。”大廳里每個人都在談論這件事情，非常吵鬧。
第二天國王頒布一項公告，命令毀掉所有的紡車和紡錘。整個大地都是紡車被燒毀的火焰。

英語小故事 篇5
ulius Caesar
尤里烏斯.凱撒
Nearly two thousand years ago there lived in Rome a man whose name was Julius Caesar. He was the greatest of all the
Romans. Why was he so great?
大約兩千年前，羅馬有一個名叫尤利烏斯·凱撒的人。他是全體羅馬人中最偉大的人。他為什么這么偉大呢?
He was a brave warrior，and had conquered many countries for Rome. He was wise in planning and doing. He knew how to make men both love and fear him.
他是個勇敢的戰士，為羅馬征服了許多國家。他計劃周密，辦事精明。他懂得如何讓人們既愛他又怕他。
At last he made himself the ruler of Rome. Some said he wished to become its king. But the Romans at that time did not believe in kings.
最后他讓自己當上了羅馬的統治者。有人說他想成為羅馬國王。但那時候羅馬并不信任國王。
Once when Caesar was passing through a little country village, all the men, women and children of the place came out to see him. There were not more than fifty of them, all together, and they were led by their mayor，who told each one what to do.
有一次，凱撒途經一個小村莊，這個地方的男女老少都出來看他。總共不到50人，由他們的`市長率領。市長告訴每一個人做什么:
These simple people stood by the roadside and watched Caesar pass. The mayor looked very proud and happy; for was he not the ruler of this village? He felt that he was almost as great as Caesar himself.
這些純樸的人站在路邊看著凱撒走過。市長看上去既驕傲又得意，難道不是因為他是這個村莊的統治者嗎?他感到自己幾乎像凱撒一樣偉大了。
Some of the ranking officers who were with Caesar laughed. They said, "See how that fellow struts at the head of his little flock!”
隨同凱撒的一些高級官員都笑了。他們說:“看，這群人前頭的那個家伙有多神氣呀!”
"Laugh as you will." said Caesar, he has reason to be proud. "I would rather be the head man of a village than the second man in Rome!"
“你們想怎么笑就怎么笑吧，”凱撒說。他有他驕傲的理由。“我寧愿做一村之長，也不做羅馬的第二號人物。”
At another time, Caesar was crossing a narrow sea in a boat. Before he was half way to the farther shore, a storm overtook him. The wind blew hard; the waves dashed high; the lightning flashed; the thunder rolled.
還有一次，凱撒乘小船橫渡一個不寬的海面。劃出還不到一半的路程時，遇到了暴風雨風猛烈地刮著，波浪沖天，電閃雷鳴。
It seemed every minute as though the boat would sink. The captain was in great fright. He had crossed the sea many times, but never in such a storm as this. He trembled with fear; he could not guide the boat; he fell down upon his knees; he moaned, "All is lost! All is lost!"
看上去這條船馬上就要沉沒了。船長害怕極了。他曾多次橫渡大海，但是從沒有遇到過這樣的暴風雨。他嚇得渾身發抖，無法再掌舵了。他跪下嘟咬著:“全完了!全完了!”
But Caesar was not afraid. He bade the man get up and take his oars again. "Why should you be afraid?" he said."The boat will not be lost; for you have Caesar on board."
但是凱撒一點也不害怕。他吩咐那個人站起來，重新拿起漿來。“你為什么害怕呢?”他問。“這條船不會沉沒的，因為凱撒在船上。”

英語小故事 篇10
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.

英語小故事 篇12
When George was about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which, like most little boys, he was extremely fond. He went about chopping everything that came his way.
One day, as he wandered about the garden amusing himself by hacking his mother's pea sticks, he found a beautiful, young English cherry tree, of which his father was most proud. He tried the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and barked it so that it died.
Some time after this, his father discovered what had happened to his favorite tree. He came into the house in great anger, and demanded to know who the mischievous person was who had cut away the bark. Nobody could tell him anything about it.
Just then George, with his little hatchet, came into the room.
"George,'' said his father, "do you know who has killed my beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden? I would not have taken five guineas for it!''
This was a hard question to answer, and for a moment George was staggered by it, but quickly recovering himself he cried:
"I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did cut it with my little hatchet.''
The anger died out of his father's face, and taking the boy tenderly in his arms, he said:
"My son, that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more to me than a thousand trees! Yes - though they were blossomed with silver and had leaves of the purest gold!''

英語小故事 篇14
Feeling of youth
No young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own-
The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
Death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
And see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
