英语小故事 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.

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."
两只蜜蜂在一块田里相遇了。一只说：“最近怎么样啊？”“不怎么样。”另一只说，“天气凉了又潮湿，花都不开了，我也没法采蜜了。”
"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."
“没事的，”第一只蜜蜂说，“飞五个街区然后左转。看到汽车之前都一直向前飞。有一个戒酒会，那里有各种鲜花和水果。”
"Thanks for the tip," said the second bee, and flew away.
“谢啦，”第二只蜜蜂说，飞走了。
A few hours later the two bees ran into each other again. The first bee asked, "How'd it go?"
几个小时后这两只蜜蜂又相遇了。第一只蜜蜂问：“怎么样啊？”
"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！”第二只蜜蜂说，“你说的都成真了。有好多水果，每张桌子上都有许多盛开的花。”
"Uh, what's that thing on your head?" asked the first bee.
“哦，你头顶上是什么？”第一只蜜蜂说。
"That's my yarmulke," said the second bee. "I didn't want them to think I was a WASP."
“是我的`圆顶小帽，”第二只蜜蜂说。“我不想让他们觉得我是一个易动怒的人。”

英语小故事 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。

国王问：“我们有多少仙女呢？”

正是第十三位仙女。
她尖叫道，“为什么我没有收到洗礼邀请？”
她因为被排除在外非常生气。
“所有的仙女都已经给出了祝福，下面是我的，在16岁生日的时候，公主将会被纺锤刺到手然后死去。”
又一道闪电之后，仙女离开了。
国王说，“我们还以为她已经死了，我们现在能怎么办呢？”
王后开始哭泣。
第十二位仙女走出来了。
她说，“我的祝福还没有送出，这位仙女的诅咒会实现的，但是我能做出一点改变。她会陷入沉睡，睡上一百年。”大厅里每个人都在谈论这件事情，非常吵闹。
第二天国王颁布一项公告，命令毁掉所有的纺车和纺锤。整个大地都是纺车被烧毁的火焰。

英语小故事 篇5
ulius Caesar
尤里乌斯.凯撒
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?
大约两千年前，罗马有一个名叫尤利乌斯·凯撒的人。他是全体罗马人中最伟大的人。他为什么这么伟大呢?
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.
他是个勇敢的战士，为罗马征服了许多国家。他计划周密，办事精明。他懂得如何让人们既爱他又怕他。
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.
最后他让自己当上了罗马的统治者。有人说他想成为罗马国王。但那时候罗马并不信任国王。
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，凯撒途经一个小村庄，这个地方的男女老少都出来看他。总共不到50人，由他们的`市长率领。市长告诉每一个人做什么:
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.
这些纯朴的人站在路边看着凯撒走过。市长看上去既骄傲又得意，难道不是因为他是这个村庄的统治者吗?他感到自己几乎像凯撒一样伟大了。
Some of the ranking officers who were with Caesar laughed. They said, "See how that fellow struts at the head of his little flock!”
随同凯撒的一些高级官员都笑了。他们说:“看，这群人前头的那个家伙有多神气呀!”
"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!"
“你们想怎么笑就怎么笑吧，”凯撒说。他有他骄傲的理由。“我宁愿做一村之长，也不做罗马的第二号人物。”
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.
还有一次，凯撒乘小船横渡一个不宽的海面。划出还不到一半的路程时，遇到了暴风雨风猛烈地刮着，波浪冲天，电闪雷鸣。
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!"
看上去这条船马上就要沉没了。船长害怕极了。他曾多次横渡大海，但是从没有遇到过这样的暴风雨。他吓得浑身发抖，无法再掌舵了。他跪下嘟咬着:“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."
但是凯撒一点也不害怕。他吩咐那个人站起来，重新拿起浆来。“你为什么害怕呢?”他问。“这条船不会沉没的，因为凯撒在船上。”

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.

英语小故事 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!''

英语小故事 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.
