爱心故事英语作文(经典20篇)

丛飞，原名张崇，1969年10月，丛飞出生在辽宁省大洼县田庄台镇。初二辍学，后进入某银行担任出纳，带薪考入沈阳音乐学院，1992年毕业后到广州闯荡， 1994年8月应邀参加重庆举行的一次失学儿童重返校园义演，开始长达11年的慈善资助。

1997年，丛飞加入深圳义工联。十多年来，他为社会公益演出300多场，捐助金额超过300万元。

2005年5月12日，一个黑色的日子。这天，丛飞被诊断为胃癌晚期，虽然命运无情地给丛飞开了个玩笑，但丛飞却给了世界一个惊喜。丛飞再次出现在大家面前时，依然是那么开朗，重病的他还不忘给身边的人带来欢乐。“帮肋别人是一种快乐，只要给我生命，我就要给别人带来快乐。”丛飞说。

从2005年开始，丛飞先后当选深圳十大杰出青年、中国十大杰出青年志愿者、全国青少年“身边最让我感动的人”。

面对铺天盖地的报道和荣誉，丛飞始终保持着清醒。在他病房的墙上，写着两行小字：“做平凡的丛飞，做一个普通的歌者丛飞”。

“丹丹，“丛飞沙哑着嗓子问：“罗祖凤那个钱，汇款单收没收到?还有罗艳燕、曹佳佳、贵州独山那个男孩呢”在病床上，丛飞始终惦记着山里的孩子。

“如果命运再给我五年时间，我会兑现向孩子们许下的诺言，会用更多的爱回报社会。”丛飞还有太多的心愿未了：山里的孩子、年迈的父母、社会的期望……为了尽可能地减少遗憾，在他生命的尽头，丛飞度过了一段不平凡的日子……

2006年2月9日夜晚，白衣白裤的丛飞登上央视“感动中国”的领奖台。

“感动中国”颁奖词

“从看到失学儿童的第一眼，到被死神眷顾之前，他把所有时间都给了那些需要帮助的孩子，没有丝毫保留，甚至不惜向生命借贷。他曾经用舞台构筑课堂，用歌声点亮希望，今天，他的歌喉也许不如往昔嘹亮，却赢得了最饱含敬意的喝彩。”

2006年4月3日上午，同是“感动中国”年度人物的洪战辉来看望丛飞。丛飞紧拉洪战辉的双手说：“生命的意义在于质量，在于活得有价值。”说完，他又拉着旁边深训眼科著名专家姚晓明的手嘱咐，身后他要捐献眼角膜，并由姚晓明来执行他的愿望。

在他的最新专辑《愿你幸福》上，丛飞写到：我现在已经身患癌症，也许将远离我至爱的舞台，但我还是把我心中最美好的歌献给关爱我的朋友们，愿我的歌声给你深深的祝福和最美好的祝愿。

生前无私救助183个贫困儿童的丛飞，因患晚期胃癌致多脏器功能衰竭，于2006年4月20日溘然长逝，年仅37岁。丛飞生前立下遗嘱捐献眼角膜，成为他最后的爱心之举。

尽管丛飞走了，但他留下来的那双眼睛，始终注视着这个美丽的世界。

我们每个人都是平凡人，但我们每个人都可以像丛飞一样奉献自己的爱心让自己变得不平凡。如鱼得水希望小学致力于帮助贫困山区小学的孩子们回到学校，回到课堂。我们不期望能感动中国，我们只希望能感动自己，感动身边的每一个人。

有一位单身女子刚搬了家，她发现隔壁住了一户穷人家，一个寡妇与两个小孩子。有天晚上，那一带忽然停了电，那位女子只好自己点起了蜡烛。没一会儿，忽然听到有人敲门。原来是隔壁邻居的小孩子，只见他紧张的问：“阿姨，请问你家有蜡烛吗?”女子心想：“他们家竟然穷到连蜡烛都没有吗?千万别借他们，免得被他们依赖上了”!于是，对孩子吼了一声说：“没有”!正当她准备关上门时，那穷小孩展开关爱的笑容说：“我就知道你家一定没有”!说完，竟从怀里拿出两根蜡烛，说：“妈妈和我怕你一个人住又没有蜡烛，所以我带两根来送你”。

此刻女子自责、感动得热泪盈眶，将那小孩子紧紧地抱在怀里。

One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

一天， 老马让小马驮着半口袋麦子到磨坊去磨面。

小马驮着口袋朝着磨坊跑去。忽然，一天小河挡住了去路，河水哗哗地流着。小马为难了，怎么办呢?它向四周望了望，看见一头老牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛伯伯，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗?”老牛说：“能。谁很浅，刚没小腿。”

小马听了老牛的话，正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河!河水会把你淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就是掉到这条河里淹死的!”小马不知如何是好，决定回家问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”

小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦?”小马说：“让我试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

这则寓言告诉我们:实践出真知。

英语寓言小故事：The Wolf and the Lamba

Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."

"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

狼和小羊

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」

小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

南瓜灯(Jack-O-Lantern)是庆祝万圣节的标志物。下面语文迷网整理了关于南瓜灯的故事作文，希望对你有帮助。

One story about Jack， an Irishman， who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan)， so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well， Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip， hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern，" abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为Jack-o-lantern 。

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里，万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品：各种各样桔红色的南瓜灯。

冬天。寒风凛冽。在公交车上。

公交车上的人先是寥寥无几，接着陆陆续续地人渐渐多了，不一会儿就满座了。窗户紧紧地闭着，外面的寒风无法再向我袭来，可我依旧感到冷冷的，似乎缺少了什么。

车缓缓地停了下来，一位老大爷迈着蹒跚的步子走了上来，他左顾右盼着，眼神中像在等待什么。他的眼神忽然定了下来，迈起了步子。我呆呆地望着，这老大爷要做什么呢?他在一个中年人面前停了下来，礼貌的说道：“先生，能不能让我这老头子坐坐，你看，人老了，站着不方便呀。”中年人斜着看了大爷一眼，接着便扭着头向窗外看去。老人被无视了。老大爷失望了，静静地呆在一旁。车里不一会儿就炸开了锅，都在议论那中年人的不是，可谁也没有起身让座。我见这番景象，不知怎的，好像更冷了。

“在公交车上要给老人让座”这是从小学开始众所皆知的，为何没有一人起身让座。

“老爷爷，过来过来，我这给你坐吧。”蓦然，一声童稚的声音在车内环绕，环绕在车内的每一个人心里。我寻声望去，一个扎着两个小辫子的小女孩正拉着老大爷的衣襟往她的座位走去。“老爷爷您坐着，我站这。”大家见这情景，都在称赞那个小女孩那么懂事，而那个中年人低着头，一声不语，陷入了沉思。

小女孩扶着座椅的后面，身子摇摇晃晃，那两跟小辫子更是调皮地左右扭动，是在夸赞小女孩。不久，中年人站了起来，默默地走向小女孩，轻轻把她抱了起来放在了他自己的座位上，自己站在了一旁。“谢谢”中年人获得了小女孩的感谢，他笑了，很灿烂。

渐渐地，心中充满了暖意，刚刚的寒冷已不见踪影。接着只要上来了有老人小孩，大家都争先恐后的起身让坐，变成了车里满座位上都是老人小孩，站着的都是中年人。望着，我不禁笑了，原来世界因爱而温暖。

无论天气多寒冷，只要爱心伴随身边，再寒冷的冬天也温暖。

Helen Keller once wrote about these early days.

One beautiful spring morning I was alone in my room, reading. Suddenly a wonderful smell in the air made me get up and put out my hands . The spirit of spring seemed to be passing in my room. "What is it?"I asked. The next minute I knew it was coming from mimosa tree outside. I walked outside to the edge of the garden, toward the tree. There it was, shaking in the warm sunshine. Its long branches, so heavy with flowers, almost touched the ground. I walked through the flowers to the tree itself and then just stood silent. Then I put my foot on the tree and pulled myself up into it. I climbed higher and higher until I reached a little seat. Long ago someone had put it there. I sat for a long time... Nothing in all the world was like this.

Later Helen learned that nature could be cruel as well as beautiful. Strangely enough she discovery this in a different kind of tree.

One day my teacher and I were returning from a long walk. It was a fine morning but it started to get warm and heavy. We stopped to rest two or three times. Our last stop was under a cherry tree, a short way from our house. The shade was nice and the tree was easy to climb. Miss Sullivan climbed with me. It was so coot up in the tree, we decided to have lunch there. I promised to sit still until she went to the house for some food. Suddenly a change came over the tree. I knew the sky was black because all the heat which meant light to me had died out of the air. A strange odor came up to me from the earth . I knew it. It was the odor which always comes before a thunder storm. I felt alone, cut off from friends, high above the firm earth. I was frightened and wanted my teacher. wanted to get down from that tree quickly, but I was no help to myself. There was a moment of terrible silence. Then a sudden and violent wind began to shake the tree and its leaves kept coming down all around me. I almost fell. I wanted to jump, but was afraid to do so. I tried to make myself small in the tree as the branches rubbed against me. Just us I thought that both the tree and I were going to fall, a hand touched me . It was my teacher. I held her with all my strength, then shook with joy to feel the solid earth under my feet.

Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many year. She taught Helen how to read, how to write and how to speak. She helped her to get ready for school and college. More than anything, Helen wanted to do what others did, and do it just as well. In time Helen did go to college and completed her studies with high honors. But it was a hard struggle. Few of the books she needed were written in the Braille language that the blind could read by touching pages. Miss Sullivan and others had to teach her what was in these books by forming words in her hands. The study of geometry and physics was especially difficult. Helen could only learn about squares, triangles and other geometrical forms by making them with wires. She kept feeling the different shapes of these wires until she could see them in her mind.

During her second year college Miss Keller wrote the story of her life and what a college meant to her. This is what she wrote.

My first day at Radcliffe college was of great interest. Some powerful force inside me made me test my mind. I wanted to learn if it was as good as that of others. I learned many things at college. One thing I slowly learned was that knowledge does not just mean power, as some people say. Knowledge leads to happiness because to have it is to know what is true and real. To know what great man of the past had thought, said, and done is to feel the heartbeat of humanity down through the ages.

All of Helen Kellers knowledge reached her mind through her sense of touch and smell, and of course her feelings. To know a flower was to touch it, feel it and smell it. This sense of touch became greatly developed as she got older. She once said that hands speak almost as loudly as words. She said the touch of some hands frightened her. The people seemed so empty of joy that when she touched their cold fingers it is as if she were shaking bands with a storm. She found the hands of others full of sunshine and warmth. Strangely enough Helen Keller learned to love things she could not hear, music for example. She did this through her sense of touch. When waves of air beat against her, she felt them. Sometimes she put her hand to a singers throat. She often stood for hours with her hands on a piano while it was played. Once she listened to an organ. Its powerful songs made her moved her body in rhythm with the music. She also liked to go to museums. She thought she understood sculptures as well as others. Her fingers told her the true size and the feel of the material.

What did Helen Keller think of herself, what did she think about the tragic lost of her sight and hearing. This is what she wrote as a young girl.

Sometimes a sense of loneliness covers me like a cold mist. I sit alone, and wait at life s shut-door. Beyond there is light and music and sweet friendship. But I may not enter. Silence sits heavy upon my soul. Then comes hope with a sweet smile and said

softly " There is joy in forgetting oneself And so I tried to make the light in others eyes my sun, the music in others ears my symphony, the smile on others lips my happiness.

Helen Keller was tall and strong. When she spoke, her face looked very alive. It helped to give meaning to her words. She often felt the faces of close friends when she was talking to them to discover their feelings. She and Miss Sullivan both were known for their sense of humor. They enjoyed jokes and laughing at funny things that happened to themselves or others. Helen Keller had to work hard to support herself after she finished college. She spoke to many groups around the country. She wrote several books and she made one movie based on her life. Her main goal was to increase public interest in the difficulties of people with physical problems. The work Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan did has been written and talked about for many years. Their success showed how people can conquer great difficulties. Anne Sullivan died in 1936, blind herself. Before Miss Sullivan died, Helen wrote and said many kind things about her.

It was the genius of my teacher, her sympathy, her love which made my first years of education so beautiful. My teacher is so near to me that I do not think of myself as a part from her. All the best of me belongs to her. Everything I am today was awakened by her loving touch .

Helen Keller died on June 1st, 1968. She was 87 year old. Her message of courage and hope remains.

人一生，短短数载，不够时间计较，不够时间事事明细，不必在思前想后中耗磨时间，懂得享乐，人生贵在糊涂。

We all， at one time or another， have pretended to be a rock star， singing and dancing along to our favorite song。 Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults， in the privacy of our homes。 Me？ I love to do that when I drive！ I turn on the radio， find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm。 Most of the time， I do this on my way to work。

我们每个人，在不同时期，都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样，伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳。很多人在小时候，甚至是已长大成人，都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样的隐秘空间里这样做过。我呢？我喜欢在开车的时候这样！打开收音机，找一首会唱的歌，很快我就会张开双臂，随着节奏起舞。大部分时候，我在上班的路上这么做。

Yes， that is true。 I will be in my nice work clothes， jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light。 I get weird looks from some people and others laugh。 Personally， I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly！

是的，那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵车和遇到交通灯时，有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我，或者笑我。对我个人而言，我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中，由此我愿和你们分享：为人糊涂贵在何处。

The definition for the word silly， according to the dictionary is： stupid， foolish and nonsensical。 I know many people do not want to look foolish。 So they walk around all serious， which in all honesty， is foolish！

糊涂一词在字典中的定义是：愚蠢的，傻，荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃，而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。

No one is perfect， I repeat： no one is perfect。 I dont care how educated， how thin， how beautiful， how simple， how frugal， how rich， and so on… No one is perfect！ So why pretend to be something you are not？

人无完人，我重申一次：没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多浅薄，生活多俭朴，多富有，等等……人无完人！那么，为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢？

Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over， so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity？ Here is a quote by Souza， that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life：

人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束，那么，为什么要浪费一分一秒，让自己变得棱角分明？这里引用索萨的话，我觉得她一语中的，是人生的一大秘方。

“Dance as though no one is watching you，

Love as though you have never been hurt before，

Sing as though no one can hear you，

Live as though heaven is on earth。“

跳舞吧，就像没有人欣赏一样，

去爱吧，就像没有受到伤害一样，

唱歌吧，就像没有人倾听一样，

生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一样。

When we were kids， we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others。 However， as we grew up， we lost that childlike innocence。

当我们还是孩子，我们天不怕，地不怕，无忧无虑，所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，当我们长大，我们失去了那种天真烂漫。

So dont lose the child that still lives within you。 The next time you feel down， go turn on your favorite song， and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow。 Or watch something that makes you laugh。 Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts。 Trust me， you will feel a whole lot better， and who doesnt want to feel good？

所以，不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时，去打开你最爱的那首歌吧，随之歌唱起舞，就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼良方，没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你会好受很多，谁又不想让自己好受呢？

上帝的权杖划过天际，一道强光闪过，在中国的某个地方上空出现了一条时空隧道，一架考察飞机刚好进入隧道，在时空的穿梭里颠簸。

“我们与指挥部失去联系了!”“钟停了，正在倒行，时空好像扭转了!”机舱内乱作一团。这是“希波”号考察机，机长是我。这次任务是雅典周围寻找关于希波战争的资料，不料却有此不幸。

“脱险了!”望着眼前的一片光明，艾尔说道。

我来到机窗前俯视大地，一种空旷的感觉向我袭来：“这好像不是中国上空，有点像马拉松平原!”

艾尔也发现了一些猫腻——“看。那是波斯国旗!”我顺着他手指的方向望去，果然看见了一面波斯国旗被一群人簇拥着缓缓前进。“无疑，”我望着艾尔，“我们穿越时空了。”

我把飞机降了一些，跟随波斯国王大流士的军队一起前进。军队行至一片小树林，突然，一万多步兵从林中、土堆出现了，把三万多人的大流士军队团团包围，随即历史上著名的马拉松战役爆发了。虽然大流士军队是人多势众，但是由一万多步兵组成的雅典军队更加骁勇善战，以一敌十。一阵刀光剑影之后，大流士军队被杀的血流成河，横尸遍野，狼狈而逃。

大将希斯克十分高兴，当下派出通讯员菲迪·皮得斯·斐力庇底斯去雅典报捷。皮得斯也兴冲冲地接受了任务，转身就向西南方向奔去。

我们跟在他上面和他一起走，只见他跑了七八分钟后便有些体力不支，他停了下来，但绝对没有超过一秒钟，他又开始跑了。我用望远镜发现他已经满头大汗，衣服已经湿透了，“呼哧，呼哧”地喘着粗气：“加油!皮得斯，一定要让人们尽快知道这个消息!”他又加大了步伐狂奔起来。过了二十多分钟，皮得斯已经近乎崩溃，但他还是坚持着向前跑着，还不断地说：“加油!为了人民!加油!为了军队!加油!为了国家!”皮得斯就这样又跑饿许久，我看了一下飞机上的路程表：“已经跑了三十多公里了，这样下去皮得斯撑得住吗?”“撑得住!”艾尔冷不丁地蹦出来一句，“有他的爱国情感和责任心撑着他，会到达终点的!”没错，皮得斯不停地跑着，只有责任心和强烈的爱国情感才能支撑的。一步步地前进就好像抬起一块沉重的石头再放下。皮得斯开始神志不清，他的头轻轻地晃，眼也不停地眨着。他用力甩甩头，还是继续前进，终于雅典域出现在他的眼前。他还是不停，一口气奔到广场上倒下了。他又拼出自己最后的一口气说道：“我们胜利了。”便永远地闭上了眼睛。

我的眼角湿润了，我不是为皮得斯哀悼，而是为他的责任心和伟大的爱国精神深深地折服。我和艾尔驾驶着飞机找到时空隧道，向现实中飞去。物品最后回头看了一眼为皮得斯默哀的人们，心想：安息吧!英雄!我们现代人可以重温你的辛劳，但是要想有像你那样为国牺牲，为民而死的爱国情怀和强烈的责任心是比登天还难的。

Highly Talented

Tsau Pi and Tsau Jr were sons of Tsau Tsau. Both were very gifted writers, and Tsau Jr was especially quick-witted.

After Tsau Tsaus death, Tsau Pi took over the throne of the kingdom of wei. Jealous of Tsau Jrs literary ability, and afraid that he might cause problems, Tsau Pi was always looking for a way to kill his brother.

One day, Tsau Pi called Tsau Jr into see him.He ordered his brother to make up a poem within the time it took to walk seven steps, adding that if he could not, his life would be in danger.

Greatly saddened, Tsau Jr began to walk and to think. Before he had taken the seven steps, he had already finished his poem, the meaning of which was: "Brothers are of the same family, so why should the oppress each other?"

Tsau Jr was very intelligent and loved to study. He wrote many outstanding articles which showed his artistic talent and earned him the admiration of many people. One scholar said of him: "Heaven gave the world ten decalitres of talent, and Tsau Jr alone has eight of them."

Today, to say that a person "has eight decalitres of talent" is to say that he has a great aptitude for writing.

才高八斗

曹丕与曹植都是曹操的儿子，二者均有才华，特别是曹植更具文采。

在曹操，死后，曹丕继任大统，但他嫉妒曹植的才华，同时也惧怕曹植回谋反，所以一直在伺机杀害曹植。

有一天，曹丕要求接见曹植，他要求曹植在他七步之内作诗一首，如果做不到，就会有生命危险。

悲愤之下，曹植急中生智，作出七步诗，是的意思就是“本来就是亲兄弟，为什么要这样步步紧逼，伤及感情？”

曹植文采俱佳，热爱学习，他曾做过不少才华横溢的文赋，均令世人感叹不已。曾有一位学者说道：“如若天下文采共有十斗，曹植一人独占八斗。”

今天，如果我们说一个人“才高八斗”，就是指他“才华横溢，很有文采”。

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was an old fisherman in Wuling. One day, he took his boat out to go fishing. As the boat floated downstream, the fisherman lost his way. Suddenly, a beautiful forest of peach trees with flowers in full bloom caught his eyes. He carried on sailing to the end of the forest where he found a mountain with a small cave at its foot. After the fisherman walked through the cave, a new world opened up before him. The people seemed happy and gentle, and lived peaceful lives with no arguments or disputes. The old rested quietly while the young played happily. Unlike the world东晋年间，武陵有一个老渔夫。一天，他驾着渔船出去打鱼。船沿着溪水行驶，老渔夫不知怎么迷了路。忽然，一片美丽的桃花林出现在他眼前。渔夫觉得很奇怪，继续往前寻找桃花林的尽头。树林的尽头是一座山，山脚下有个小洞。渔夫穿过了山洞，竟然看到了另外一个世界。

outside the cave, there was no conflict or turbulence. When they saw the fisherman, the people asked him not to tell others what he had seen there.那里的人们过着幸福安宁的生活，大家和睦相处，没有纷争，老人们安静地休息，儿童愉快地玩耍，没有外界那样动荡不安。大家看见了老渔夫，嘱咐他不要把在那儿看到的一切告诉别人。

But when he got home the fisherman told the other villagers about his experiences. They did not really believe him but followed him back to the cave out of curiosity. But he never found the place again.渔夫回到了家，把整件事告诉了村庄里的人。大家都不相信，于是跟着他去看看到底有没有这个地方。可是，这次去他们再也找不到桃花林尽头的这个世界了。

最美英语老师王云的故事

一、精备每节课

从十四年前踏上讲台的那一刻，她就明白自己的生活就是这样的单调：学校，家，与那灯火柳绿的社会，她始终保持应该有的距离。在她毕业第一年的时候，也是她小学英语起步的第一年，学校给她的就是一本书，别的什么也没有，于是，别人所有的休闲时间，她都用来制作教具，自己动手画课文的插图，寻找一切可以用来辅助教学的工具，当时就有很多人劝她：英语又不是作为主科的，最后也不要考试，你干嘛这么认真，差不多就行了!对于别人的“善意提醒”，她只能抱以一笑，坚持沉浸在自己的“快乐”之中，为了上出一节让学生感兴趣的课，为了让自己的每一节课都达到自己满意的效果，为了那一张张充满期待的小脸和初学英语的热情和喜悦，她所有的辛苦和努力都显得是那么的有价值。

二、争当好老师

在她心目中，希望学生把她当作朋友一样，可以交心的。所以她一直努力营造一种更为和谐的师生关系，无论是生活中，还是学习上，她都乐意为他们排忧解难，她希望每一个在自己课堂上的学生都是“亲其师而信其道”的，她的坚持，从后来到她课堂上听课的老师那儿得来的反馈得到了很好的印证，每一个老师都能感受到她与学生之间的融洽，她在关注学生时的投入与真诚，学生在听时的入神，教师与学生互动的和谐，她觉得这已经成为了一种享受。她常用乐观无私的心态看待自己的职业，她从中发现无尽的快乐，汲取工作的热情，收获成功的喜悦。

刚毕业时所教的四年级学生中，有一个叫陆曼的小女孩，活泼，开朗，特别喜欢学英语，课堂表现特别的棒，王老师一直以为她是一个优秀的学生，后来通过与其他老师还有她家长的交流，才知道，她的语文成绩只有六十几分，数学也好不到哪儿去，王老师就觉得很困惑，这样一个热情向上的小女孩怎么就成了别的老师眼中的“差生”了呢?王老师不能理解，更不能接受，于是总是利用课间的时候找学生聊聊天，终于知道，原来她的语、数成绩不好，是因为她不喜欢语文和数学老师，觉得她们太严厉了，就讨厌学习这两门课程，所以就越学越差。真的，如果只是因为这种原因，让这样一个原本可以很优秀的学生就这样放弃了自己，真是太可惜了。王老师耐心的开导陆曼，告诉她，每一个老师的教学方法有不同，但每一个老师的出发点都是一样的，都是为了学生好，希望他们能够进步，学有所得。这是一个懂事的女孩，通过与科任老师的协调，对于陆曼的点滴进步都予以表扬，很快，陆曼就让王老师看到了出乎意料的效果，最后考上了南京晓庄师范学校。王老师很感动，感动于自己当初的坚持，其实这样的学生她每一年都会遇到，并且她也一如继往的以自己的耐心和爱心去感化，教育他们，希望每一个孩子都成为一朵美丽的花朵，为祖国贡献一份自己的力量。

三、热衷教科研

打铁还需自身硬，她不是一名专业的英语老师，却从此踏上了英语教学的岗位，她知道自己将付出的要比别人多得多，每一个单词，每一篇课文，在教学生之前，都要反反复复的跟录音读很多遍。在教学之余，她能潜心钻研，认真学习教学理念，充实自己，完善自己，积极的撰写教学心得，总结在教学中的一些体会和经验，把实践的教学心得上升到理论的层次和高度，个人的多篇教研论文在省市教学杂志上发表，多篇论文在国家、省、市级评比中获奖，撰写的全镇英语质量分析报告连续3年获得县评比一等奖。此外，还积极参与课题研究，并将课程研究成果运用到日常英语教学中去，先后主持了县十五、十一五、十二五课题研究，均顺利结题。

功夫不负有心人，她的文章陆续发表于各类报刊、杂志，各类评比的荣誉证书接踵而至，指导学生的习作大量发表，自己也成为一名县小学英语教学能手。

四、争做好队友

工作中她都能够坚持发挥自己乐于助人的善良本性，无论是哪一个老师需要帮助，她都会不遗余力的去贡献自己的力量。所以，每一个老师在需要上公开课，或者比赛课，或者是教学中有什么困惑的时候，都喜欢来找她，和她一起探讨，或者请她帮忙出主意，做课件等等，同事们的信任对她来说就是最大的动力，记不清有多少个夜晚为了别人的课，或是别人的课件她熬到深夜，有时候只是为一句话，或是一个字体，一个图片，反反复复的修改，只是为了不辜负别人对她的信赖。看到同事们一个个取得喜人的成绩她也由衷的替她们感到高兴!

付出总有回报，她的努力获得了学校领导，同事，学生，家长的一致认何，这让她感到作为一个教师的无比幸福。她不知道，做一名好老师，究竟有什么样的标准，她只知道努力做一名好老师，并且将一直坚持下去!

Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.

One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.

He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him. He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.

"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."

从前，有个守财奴将他的金块埋到一棵树下，每周他都去把他挖出来看看。

一天晚上，一个小偷挖走了所有的金块。 守财奴再来查看时，发现除了一个空洞什么都没有了。

守财奴便捶胸痛哭。哭声引来了邻居，他告诉他们这里原来有他的金块。

问明了原因后，一个邻居问："你使用过这些金块吗?" "没用过，" 他说，"我只是时常来看看。""那么，以后再来看这个洞，"邻居说，"就像以前有金块时一样。"

二零一零年四月二十日晚上，也就是青海玉树地震后的第六天。央视的赈灾募捐晚会开始了。才短短的三个小时啊，21。75亿悉数尽收。眼见着一块块高举过头顶的巨额数目，眼见着投入募捐箱的硕大信袋，一个亿，五千万，一千万，二百万，几十万，虽然象一块块巨石猛烈是冲撞着俺的视觉，俺的内心却平静如水，直到晚会结束，始终未能“一石激起千层浪”。

俺只是极为深切地感受到：虽然俺们这些中国“人名”（人民）没有钱，但中国的“名人”可是太有钱了！

不要指责俺行者是个缺乏同情心的冷血动物。对于“名人”（包括名企）的善举，本是情理之中的事，同为华夏子孙，炎黄血脉，一有难大家帮，这是国人的传统美德，只是人的能力有大小。多有多帮，少有少帮。有钱捧个钱场，无钱帮个人场。这道理，连街头卖艺的都懂。钱，做为身外之物，本应取之于民，用之于民。名人挣的多，应该多捐点。否则，没有人民了，不也就是个人名了！！！

不过话又说回来，俺对那热血奔腾的场面虽少有激动，对捐献者同样怀有一份好感。唉，毕竟是把大把大把的钞票献给了陷于危难之中的玉树人民。那感觉，跟大把大把地往里进绝对是不一样的。所以说，明星名人和名企的慷慨解囊，远比“肯德基”这只“铁公鸡”要强上N倍。NND，这只“鸡”掏走了多少中国人的钱啊！怪不得网上招来那么多的骂声呢！

然而，当俺从网上看到另外的两则新闻故事，却让俺心绪难平，由此证明，俺还真的不是什么冷血动物。

一个是国内的刘玉池老人。老人是个身背琵琶的卖艺谋生之人。当他衣着破旧地出现在募捐现场，搜光了全身上下的口袋，用双手捧着满满一把零钱，用力地塞进捐钱箱，面带愧色地对大家说：“我就这么多了，不够啊，才50多元。请大家多捐点吧。”老人哽咽着向大家鞠躬，不少市民随之落泪。

看着这里，俺也落泪了！刘玉池老人生活艰辛，家里还有双眼失明的儿子和五岁的孙子靠他生活。每天靠卖艺，幸亏有好心市民解囊相助，每天能赚到30元左右。他说：“想到地震受灾的同胞们，生命在一瞬间消失，让人揪心啊！我们再苦再难，有亲人在身边，有饭吃，有衣穿，能活在这个世界上，已经很幸运了！”

还有一个是国外的。大家知道，非洲有个国家叫莫桑比克。这个国家仅仅给玉树捐了4万元。区区四万元的数目，真的不算多，尤其是对于一个国家而言。国内的某个企业甚至某些个人远比他们捐出的数目多的多，大的多。然而，俺却被这个国家的情义深深憾动！因为，它的意义远非金钱所能衡量的，因为，这就是他所能有的最大能力了。

莫桑比克，让俺，让大家记住他，记住这个世界上最贫困的国家。年人均国内生产总值80美元，仅相当于瑞士的五百分之一。平均每人每天0。2美元。这个国家的领导人到联合国开会，连如何解决路费都是一个难题。4万元，对他们来说是很大很大的一笔钱，可以做太多的事，可现在却拿来支援玉树！在给中国提供了救灾援助的十几个国家之中，却有这个世界上极其贫穷的国家！

滴水之恩，当涌泉相报。俺会记住这个极度贫困的莫桑比克，这个贫穷的非洲兄弟。

行者真的不乏同情心，俺也绝不是冷血动物。俺曾经也向受难者一次次地献过爱心。让俺不舒服的是，如今的捐款已经变成了摆排场、比富足、做宣传的舞台。看看我们的电视媒体，那些日子，每天都为那些肯出高价的大手笔，大书特书。国内的俺就不说了，单说国外捐出6000万的沙特王子被报道了一遍又一遍。而莫桑比克呢？甚至都没有人提起他们的名字。6000万对于沙特又算的了什么，大不了在多在地球的身上捅几个洞，凿几口井好了。而莫桑比克呢？人家可是连温饱都达不到的国家！

所以说，爱心，无须金钱来衡量！

真的小猛士：美国9岁男孩徒手斗鳄鱼

A brave 9-year-old is recovering in hospital after he wrestled a 9-foot, 400lb alligator off him with his bare hands - and he now plans to make a necklace from a tooth doctors found embedded in a wound on his back.

The Christmas Tree——圣诞树的故事

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.

[关于圣诞树的故事的英语作文

As a small child, I always wanted to grow up soon, so that I could make my

own money and became independent. So I had worked so hard to let my parents to

realize that I have grown up, such as washing my clothes and taking care of

myself. Indeed, I won respect step by step. Finally, when I went to high school,

they allowed me to live in school. I felt so happy to move out. When I lived in

school, strangely, I started to miss my parents and wanted to see them. I spent

so much time to get away from them, but when I did it, I felt lost. This is my

story about growing up, I believe most children struggle running away from their

parents, but when they really grow up, they will miss the ones who love

them.

爱心两字在我的脑海中是那么的空洞，只知道它是汉语词典中的一个词，却不知道它有什么含义。。。直到那天，我知道“爱心”不再单单是两个词，而是让这两个字充满了意义。

轰动世界的5.12大地震中，社会各界的人们纷纷伸出援助之手为四川的同胞们献出了自己的一份力量，同时让我对“爱心”两字有了新的认识----- 爱心是一泓出现在沙漠的泉水，使濒临绝境的人看到生活的希望! 或许，地震发生后四川的同胞们最担心的就是以后要怎样生活，离开了家人的翅膀要怎样学会飞翔。就在同胞们苦恼，伤心时，社会各界的一些素不相识的好心人都义不容辞的伸出了援助之手，让感到恐惧，惧怕的同胞们，看到了生的火苗，生活下去的希望。就像在沙漠中走投无路的旅行者看到了生的希望，继续走下去的动力----甘甜可口的泉水。 可能就是在发出者本人感觉微不足道的一点爱却让濒临绝境，在生与死的边缘摇摆不定的人们坚定了活下去的信念。。。

爱心是照在冬日的阳光，是贫病交迫的人感到人间的温暖! 失去挚爱的亲人，自己美丽的家园现在已是是一片废区，比刺骨的冬风还要让人感到凄凉。正在同胞们伤心绝望的时候，看到自己的手足兄弟送来了爱心，我想每个人都会缓解一下自己那悲哀绝望的心情。正是这些爱心才让苦难中的素不相识的同胞们知道了自己并不是孤立的，看到了团结一致的手足情，感到了真人间无限的温暖。。。。

爱心是一首飘荡在夜空的歌谣，是孤独无依的人获得了心灵的慰藉! 可能，钱不多但是却代表了自己的一份心意。。。。夜总是让人感到的凄凉，抬头望望那不完整的月亮，想着自己的亲人在天堂是否过得好，几颗冰凉的泪水就不由自主的地落在粗糙的手背上。。。那时的悲凉心情或许就被你那一点一滴的爱心而是心情回转。。。。 爱心或许对我们来说，或许不算是什么忍痛割爱，但是对于正在苦难中的人们来说就是一针强有效地镇定剂，就是一个继续活下去的原因。。。 所以，那时的我，不再轻视“爱心”两字。

它可能拯救一个人的生命，可能改变一个人的人生。。。 现在“爱心”不再是那空洞的两个字 ，我不会再这样认为，我希望自己身边的人也不要这样认为!

乡村真美。此时正值夏季，田里的小麦都呈现金黄色而燕麦依然青绿。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上，广阔的树林围绕着

田野和草地，树林的中央有多处深邃的湖泊，在阳光最充足的地方矗立着一栋老旧的大宅邸。这栋宅邸被一条深长的壕沟所包围，茂盛的

叶子从这栋房子干部上的藤蔓往下长，延伸到河水的边缘。其中有一些叶子很大，小孩子可以拿它们来当雨伞。

在森林的深处有一只母鸭子坐在她的巢中，她的小鸭子们即将孵出来。

终于蛋一个接一个地开始裂了。 “吱，吱！”小鸭们叫着。“呱，呱！”母鸭回道。“这个世界好大啊！”小鸭子异口同声道。

The countryside was lovely. It was summer. The wheat was golden and the oats were still

green. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows.

There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods. In the sunniest spot stood an old mansion surrounded by a deep moat.

Great leaves grew from the vines on the walls of the house right down to the waters edge.

Some of the leaves were so big that a child could use them as an umbrella.

In the depths of a forest a duck was sitting in her nest. Her little ducklings were about to be hatched.

At last one egg after another began to crack." Cheep, cheep!" the ducklings said." Quack, quack!" said the duck.

" How big the world is!" said all the young ones.

但最大的蛋依旧在那儿，于是她又再坐回她的巢中。

一只年长的鸭子过来拜访她说：“喂！你近来可好吗？”坐着的母鸭回答说：“这枚蛋花了很长的时间，

壳偏偏还不裂开，不过其他的小鸭都是最完美的鸭子，他们很像他们的爸爸。”

年长的鸭子说：“让我看看那枚不会裂开的蛋，你或许是坐在一枚火鸡的蛋上！我曾经像那样被骗过一次。不错，那是火鸡的蛋！

你最好不要管它，去教其它的小鸭游泳吧。”

“我要再多坐一会儿。”

But the biggest egg was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.

"Well, how are you getting on?" said an old duck who came to pay her a visit." This egg is taking such a long time," answered the sitting duck."

The shell will not crack, but the others are the finest ducklings. They are like their father."

"let me look at the egg which wont crack," said the old duck." You may be sitting on a turkeys egg!

I have been cheated like that once. Yes. its a turkeys egg!

You had better leave it alone and teach the other children to swim."

"I will sit on it a little longer."

终于这枚巨蛋裂开了。这小子可真是又大又丑！她说：“那是一只非常巨大的鸭子，其他的小鸭没有一只看起来像他一样。

他会是火鸡的孩子吗？我会尽快查清楚，我将叫他下水去。”

隔天这只母鸭带着她的一家人走到壕沟。

她跳入水中，“呱，呱，”她说，小鸭们一只接一只地跳进河里。

这只又大又丑的鸭子跟着他们一起游来游去，她说：“不是的，那不是火鸡。呱，呱！现在跟我来，我将带你们去参观这个世界，

要一直靠近我并小心猫！”第一天过去了，一切都还顺利。

At last the big egg cracked. How big and ugly the baby was! " That is a very big duckling." she said,

" None of the others look like that. Can he be a turkeys chick?

I will soon find out. I will make him go into water."

The next day the mother duck with her family went down to the moat. She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.

The big ugly one swam about with them." No, that is no turkey," she said," Quack, quack! Now come with me

and I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!"

The first day passed, and everything was fine.

之后，事情愈来愈糟。这只可怜的小鸭被所有的小鸭追逐和骚扰，因为他长得很丑。大鸭们咬他，母鸡们啄他，

而喂食他们的女孩把他踢到旁边去。于是他离家出走，不久就来到一片野鸭住的广阔沼泽。

他双疲倦又痛苦，因此他整晚都在那里。

早上这群野鸭们飞来看他们的新朋友。这些野鸭说：“你长得非常丑，但那对我们来说无所谓。”他在那里整整待了两天，

然后有两只野雁飞过来。就在那个时候，他听到“砰！砰！”的声音，那两只野雁摔落在芦苇丛中死了。

对这只可怜的小鸭子来说，那是一项很可怕的冲击。

Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.

The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.

He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.

In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend." You are very ugly," said the wild ducks," but that does not matter to us."

He stayed there two whole days . And then two wild geese came.

Just at that moment the sound of "Bang! Bang!" was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.

It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.

一只巨大的狗出现在他的身边，离他很近。这只狗露出锐利的牙齿，继续往前走，没有碰他。

这只小鸭叹息说：“哦，谢谢老天爷！我是这么丑，因此连狗都不会咬我！”

晚上他来到一间小屋。这间小屋住着一位老婆婆和她的猫及母鸡。她的视力不好，以为这只小鸭是一只肥鸭。

她说：“要是我有了鸭蛋，我就发财了，”因此她留这只小鸭住了3个星期，但他并没有下蛋。

这只猫是这间房子的主人，而这只母鸡是女主人。

A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.

"Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog wont bite me!"

sighed the duckling.

In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with her cat and her hen.

Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck.

"I will be rich if I have duck eggs," she said.

So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no eggs.The cat was the master of the house

and the hen was the mistress.

母鸡说：“你能不能下蛋呢？”

小鸭回答说：“不能。”

这只猫说：“那么你最好离开到外面广阔的世界去。”就这样这只小鸭离开了。

有一天晚上，太阳刚刚下山，此时有一群漂亮的大鸟从矮树丛飞出来。

小鸭心想：“我从来没有看过这么漂亮的东西。”

"Can you lay eggs?" asked the hen.

"No," answered the duckling.

"Then you had better go out into the wide world," said the cat. So away went the duckling.

One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.

The duckling thought," Ive never seen anything so beautiful."

他们有长长的脖子，全身是令人眩目的白色。他们是天鹅，他并不知道这些鸟是什么鸟。

冬天非常地寒冷刺骨，因此这只小鸭在水中游来游去以免冻僵了。

太阳又开始温暖地照耀着，云雀在歌唱，美丽的春天已经来临了。突然这只小鸭举起他的翅膀， 而翅膀拍动的力气要比以前大，

不知不觉中，他发觉自己已置身在一座巨大的花园里，花园里的苹果树开满了花，紫丁香长长的枝桠垂挂在湖岸边。

就在他的面前，他看到三只美丽的白天鹅向他游过来。

They were dazzlingly white with long necks. They were swans.

He did not know what the birds were.

The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.

The sun began to shine warmly again. The larks were singing and beautiful spring had come.

Then, all at once, the duckling raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before.

Before he knew it, he found himself in a large garden where the apple trees were in

full blossom and long branches of lilacs overhung the shores of the lake.

Just in front of him he saw three beautiful white swans swimming towards him.

“我将朝他们飞去而他们将会把我劈成粉碎，因为我长得非常丑。

不过没有关系，我宁愿被他们杀死也不愿被那些鸭子咬或是被那些母鸡啄。”

因此他飞入水中朝这些天鹅游过去，他们看到他就向他冲过来。

“杀死我吧，噢，杀死我吧！”可怜的小鸭说着朝水中低头，等待死亡的来临。

但他在清澈的水中看到什么样了呢？

"I will fly to them and they will hack me to pieces because I am so ugly.

But it doesnt matter. I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the ducks or pecked by the hens."

So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.

"Kill me! Oh, kill me!" said the poor duckling,

and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.

But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird.

他不再是只黑灰丑陋的鸟，他竟然是一只天鹅！

有些小孩手拿玉米和面包来到这个花园，将这些东西投入水中。

个子最小的那个孩子兴高采烈地大叫：“有一只新来的天鹅。”其他的孩子大叫：

“对啊！来了一只新的。”

他对着自己说：“当我是那只丑小鸭的时候，我从来也没梦想过我能够这么快乐！”

He was himself a swan!

Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.

The smallest child shouted with joy," There is a new one."

The other children shouted, "Yes, a new one has come."

He said to himself,

" I never dreamed that I could be so happy when I was the ugly duckling!"
