爱心故事英语作文汇集20篇

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！

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”。

春节前夕的一天，街上行人川流不息，

爱我和爸爸妈妈要到银行去存钱。那天，雨下的很大，但街上的人却一点也没有减少，照样从四面八方涌到城里办年货。我们来到了银行存款的柜台前，妈妈按照排队的顺序存款。该妈妈存款了，妈妈把要存的钱递给了银行柜台里的那位阿姨，阿姨用一只手把钱放入点钞机里点数，另一只手熟练地敲打着电脑键盘，然后把存折插入了打印机，存钱的数目就印在了存折上。妈妈存钱时，我和爸爸闲着没事，到处走来走去，忽然，墙上挂着的一个透明的小箱子把我吸引了过去，上面写着“为希望工程捐款”的一行大字，小箱子上面还贴着一个小女孩的彩色照片，她是一个 失学儿童。她两只水灵灵的大眼睛紧紧盯着前面，充满了渴求，好象在告诉我们：她多么想上学啊!好象想让我们帮助她什么似的。于是我毫不犹豫地把出门时妈妈给我的五角钱零花钱投到了小箱子里，旁边一位银行工作人员朝我赞许地笑了笑。

在回家的路上，那双水灵灵的大眼睛老是浮现在我脑子里，怎么也抹不掉。但是，我还在想，她怎么没钱上学呢?我想只要是来存钱的人都捐一点钱，她是可以上学的。银行的叔叔阿姨可真好呀!在这里挂上一个小箱子，可以提醒告诉那些来存钱的人，都给失学的儿童献上一份爱心吧!

Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals.

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.

For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."

This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the latecomers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers.

汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。

有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。

从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！”

故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的可以胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。

It happened that the cat met Mr. Fox in the woods. She thought, "He is intelligent and well experienced, and is highly regarded in the world," so she spoke to him in a friendly manner, "Good-day, my dear Mr. Fox. How is it going? How are you? How are you getting by in these hard times?"

The fox, filled with arrogance, examined the cat from head to feet, and for a long time did not know whether he should give an answer. At last he said, "Oh, you poor beard-licker, you speckled fool, you hungry mouse hunter, what are you thinking? Have you the nerve to ask how I am doing? What do you know? How many tricks do you understand?"

"I understand but one," answered the cat, modestly.

"What kind of a trick is it?" asked the fox.

"When the dogs are chasing me, I can jump into a tree and save myself."

"Is that all?" said the fox. "I am master of a hundred tricks, and in addition to that I have a sackful of cunning. I feel sorry for you. Come with me, and I will teach you how one escapes from the dogs."

Just then a hunter came by with four dogs. The cat jumped nimbly up a tree, and sat down at its top, where the branches and foliage completely hid her.

"Untie your sack, Mr. Fox, untie your sack," the cat shouted to him, but the dogs had already seized him, and were holding him fast.

"Oh, Mr. Fox," shouted the cat. "You and your hundred tricks are left in the lurch. If you been able to climb like I can, you would not have lost your life."

一只猫在森林里遇到一只狐狸，心想：“他又聪明，经验又丰富，挺受人尊重的。”於是它很友好地和狐狸打招呼：“日安，尊敬的狐狸先生，您好吗?这些日子挺艰难的，您过得怎么样?”

狐狸傲慢地将猫从头到脚地打量了一番，半天拿不定主意是不是该和它说话。最后它说：“哦，你这个倒霉的长着鬍子、满身花纹的傻瓜、饥肠辘辘地追赶老鼠的傢伙，你会啥?有甚么资格问我过得怎么样?你都学了点甚么本事?”

“我只有一种本领。”猫谦虚地说。

“甚么本领?”狐狸问。

“有人追我的时候，我会爬到树上去藏起来保护自己。”

“就这本事?”狐狸不屑地说，“我掌握了上百种本领，而且还有满口袋计谋。我真觉得你可怜，跟着我吧，我教你怎么从追捕中逃生。”

就在这时，猎人带着四条狗走近了。猫敏捷地窜到一棵树上，在树顶上蹲伏下来，茂密的树叶把它遮挡得严严实实。

“快打开你的计谋口袋，狐狸先生，快打开呀!”猫冲着狐狸喊道。可是猎狗已经将狐狸扑倒咬住了。“哎呀，狐狸先生，”猫喊道，“你的千百种本领就这么给扔掉了!假如你能像我一样爬树就不至於丢了性命了!”

丛飞，一个普普通通的名字，一个平平凡凡的歌手，却帮助了上百个山里娃圆了上学梦。

一次为山区贫困家庭捐款的义演，彻底改变了丛飞的人生。在那次义演的捐款时间中，当丛飞听到别人捐款时，观众都爆发出的阵阵掌声使丛飞心动了，他毫不犹豫地把刚拿到的演出费全部投进了捐款箱。就这样，丛飞‘喜欢上了’山里娃，‘喜欢上了’捐款，在以后的几年里，他先后捐赠了上百万元，帮助了上百个山里娃返回了校园。可是，好景不长，在一次公益演出时，丛飞的胃剧烈疼痛，他马上吃了止痛药，暂时地抑制了疼痛，又要上台了，一起的同事都劝他上医院看看，可是丛飞不愿意，他忍着剧痛演出，为的就是赚到这场演出的演出费，为的就是帮助那些山里娃重返学校。就这样，丛飞一拖再拖，终于，2003年，从深圳人民医院传来噩耗，丛飞被确诊为胃癌晚期，当时，丛飞已经没有多余的钱为自己治疗，为了让山里娃不被辍学，丛飞甚至把他女儿上幼儿园的学费都汇给了山里娃。山里娃的父母们不知道丛飞怎么了，他们只知道丛飞答应过他们，要供他们的孩子上初中，上大学，他们一连几个星期没有收到丛飞的汇款都急了，他们哪里知道丛飞忍着剧痛在化疗期间还抽时间去唱歌为山里娃挣钱。

有句古话说得好：“男儿膝下有黄金，上跪天，下跪地，中跪父母。”但是，这并不是所有男儿的写照，丛飞，一个好男儿，向同事下跪借钱，汇给山里娃们，那时丛飞已经欠下了八万多的外债，然而，这些外债，丛飞丝毫没动，全都给了山里娃，他自己治病的钱都是他父母一点一点地凑起来的。

2004年，丛飞终于走了，他是微笑地走了，他在去世后，还捐出了自己的眼角膜，给了需要它的人。丛飞的一生就这样走过了，他总是为别人想的多，为自己想的少。

爱心天使丛飞，让我学会了关爱，学会了奉献，学会了很多很多……

The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating mans behavior.

People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distillers grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure3 them into traps and cursed:"Humph! Do you think we dont know your tricks? Well never be taken in!"

So they called one another, turned round and left.

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldnt bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation5, they finally said to themselves: "Just for a taste of the wine. It wont matter as long as we dont get drunk."

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla1 put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

忘乎所以

南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂：“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说：“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.

It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."

一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去，将它从梦中吵醒。狮子生气地跳起来，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：「只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命，我将来一定会报答你的大恩。」狮子便笑着放了它。

后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了它，并大声说：「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。」

八月的尾巴 九月的头，秋天的风刚刚吹起，树叶也忍不住悄悄离开枝桠追寻远方，连阳光都变得温煦。

献血屋的上午迎来了和美甜蜜的一家三口：20出头的小姑娘王泽婷由父母陪同来参加无偿献血。在杭州上学的她，趁着暑假的空隙来完成她每年的目标：“平时都是妈妈陪我来献血的，爸爸平时很忙但是今天抽空也跟着一起来啦！觉得好开心！”

感谢父母的支持，在成长的道路上不断教会我们如何生活，还教会了我们爱。在这个秋高气爽的季节，让我们一起来献出自己的一份爱心吧！

爱心是一束阳光，照亮你我的心灵，让彼此更温暖。

人们自从自己从妈妈的肚子里“呱呱”落地的时，心灵都是纯洁、善良、美好的，都是拥有着爱，都被别人爱着。我就曾经亲眼看见过一件“爱”的感动故事……

一个阳光明媚的星期天，奶奶给我了十块钱，叫我自己用来买零食吃。我一蹦三“丈”高，飞快地跑出了家门，奔向食品店了去。在十字街路口里，围着一大群人，我十分好奇，便怀着好奇心，凭着个头小，左挤右闯地钻到里面。看到了一位戴着眼镜，身怀孩子，挺着大肚的阿姨跪在街头乞讨。在她跪前有着一张纸，上面大概内容就是说：她是乡下里面的一位教师，自己的老公在这座城市里开车赚钱，不幸被酒后司机的大卡车给撞倒了。现在在医院里，但是需要一笔资金，所以在街上向各位好心人乞讨。

我看完后，想把我的钱捐献给他，但是她衣衫整齐，衣冠楚楚，有想到现代社会的骗子十分多，万一她是骗子，是骗人的呢?但又看到她跪前的照片、结婚照，不禁有思考起来。但我实在是太喜欢吃零食了，又舍不得把十块钱全部给她。我咬紧牙关，直咽口水，肚子里的谗虫更是让我犹豫不决。我又想先用十块钱买了零食后，再把剩下的钱给这位阿姨，但又觉得不好意思。经过最后的思索后，还是选择买了零食吃。

我刚要进零食商店的时候，看见一位脚断了的残疾老人，拄着拐杖，从身上缓缓地拿出一个手帕，那个手帕十分陈旧，里面的东西被重重地包裹着。老人小心翼翼地打开手帕，从那里面取出一张显目的100元的钞票递给阿姨，然后欣慰地笑了。阿姨接过钱连忙说谢谢!

我飞快地跑到阿姨那里，把手中紧捏的十块钱递给了阿姨……

In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.

1882年，一名女婴因高发烧差点丧命。她虽幸免于难，但发烧给她留下了后遗症 她再也看不见、听不见。因为听不见，她想讲话也变得很困难。

So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?

那么这样一个在19个月时就既盲又聋的孩子，是如何成长为享誉世界的作家和演说家的呢？

The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.

高烧将她与外界隔开，使她失去了视力和声音。她仿佛置身在黑暗的牢笼中无法摆脱。

Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.

万幸的是海伦并不是个轻易认输的人。不久她就开始利用其它的感官来探查这个世界了。她跟着母亲，拉着母亲的衣角，形影不离。她去触摸，去嗅各种她碰到的物品。她模仿别人的动作且很快就能自己做一些事情，例如挤牛奶或揉面。她甚至学会*摸别人的脸或衣服来识别对方。她还能*闻不同的植物和触摸地面来辨别自己在花园的位置。

By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.

七岁的时候她发明了60多种不同的手势，*此得以和家里人交流。比如她若想要面包，就会做出切面包和涂黄油的动作。想要冰淇淋时她会用手裹住自己装出发抖的样子。

Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.

海伦在这方面非比一般，她绝顶的聪明又相当敏感。通过努力她对这个陌生且迷惑的世界有了一些知识。但她仍有一些有足。

At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.   海伦五岁时开始意识到她与别人不同。她发现家里的其他人不用象她那样做手势而是用嘴交谈。有时她站在两人中间触摸他们的嘴唇。她不知道他们在说什么，而她自己不能发出带有含义的声音。她想讲话，可无论费多大的劲儿也无法使别人明白自己。这使她异常懊恼以至于常常在屋子里乱跑乱撞，灰心地又踢又喊。

As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly . If she didnt get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favourite tricks included grabbing other peoples food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor Anne Sullivan.

随着年龄的增长她的怒气越为越大。她变得狂野不驯。倘若她得不到想要的东西就会大发脾气直到家人顺从。她惯用的手段包括抓别人盘里的食物以及将易碎的东西猛扔在地。有一次她甚至将母亲锁在厨房里。这样一来就得想个办法了。于是，在她快到七岁生日时，家里便雇了一名家庭教师 安尼沙利文。

Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read peoples lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

安尼悉心地教授海伦，特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布莱叶盲文朗读和写作。*用手指接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动，她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马，是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话，这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honours from Radcliffe College in 1904. She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory, as well as a dogged determination to succeed. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

海伦证明了自己是个出色的学者，1904年她以优异的成绩从拉德克利夫学院毕业。她有惊人的注意力和记忆力，同时她还具有不达目的誓不罢休的毅力。上大学时她就写了《我的生命》。这使她取得了巨大的成功从而有能力为自己购买一套住房。

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honours from foreign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

她周游全国，不断地举行讲座。她的事迹为许多人著书立说而且还上演了关于她的生平的戏剧和电影。最终她声名显赫，应邀出国并受到外国大学和国王授予的荣誉。1932年，她成为英国皇家国立盲人学院的副校长。

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.

1968年她去世后，一个以她的名字命名的组织建立起来，该组织旨在与发展中国家存在的失明缺陷做斗争。如今这所机构，“国际海伦凯勒”，是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。

三国时期，刘备和孙权联合起来攻打曹操。蜀国的军师诸葛亮和东吴的都督周瑜经常在一块儿商量军情。

可是，东吴的都督周瑜心地狭窒窄，不能容忍诸葛亮比自己高明，认为诸葛亮日后一定是东吴的大祸害，就想设计害死他。

有一天，周瑜请诸葛亮前来议事。他请诸葛亮在十天之内造出十万枝箭，诸葛亮说只需三日。果然，诸葛亮神机妙算，算出三日后必有大雾，不但用“草船借箭”的方法从曹操那里得了箭，还估计出一共得箭多少枝。

诸葛亮轻摇羽扇潇洒地对鲁肃说：“你有所不知啊，我方才静听舱外箭雨之声，心中默数，算来此次曹贼所赠之箭应有一十二万五千一百一十一枝！”

鲁肃听得张口结舌，心中暗想：“这人莫非神仙下凡？”

不一会儿，小卒进来禀报，共得箭一十二万五千一百枝。

鲁肃顿时大惊失色，诸葛亮虽多算了十一枝箭，但预算能精确到百位，却也非凡人可以企及的。鲁肃正要恭维一番，却见诸葛亮面色凝重，便不敢出声，想来他是为误差十一枝箭而懊恼。

诸葛亮严肃地对小卒说：“你们仔细清点了吗？”

在小卒眼里，诸葛亮就是神仙，见他脸色难看，吓得扑通跪下：“回禀先生确定细细清点了，不敢有分毫差错。”

鲁肃严厉地对小卒喝道：“再去重新清点，检查一下船舷等处有没有查漏之箭。有错漏者军法从事！”

小卒应声下去了。

鲁肃诚恳地对诸葛亮说：“十二万多枝箭，先生只漏数了十一枝，我已经很佩服。偶有一两枝没有戳稳的箭落入水中也是难免的。先生何必这么严格地要求自己呢？”

小卒再次来禀报，经过核实，仍旧只有一十二万五千一百枝箭。

诸葛亮看着小卒的背影，长叹一声，坐倒在舱板上，神色很难看，好久没有说话。快到东吴水寨时，诸葛亮像突然想起了什么似的，对着鲁肃深深地鞠了一个大躬。

鲁肃连忙起身还礼，说：“先生为什么对我行这么大的礼啊？”

诸葛亮说：“我有一事相求，听声数箭一事，请代为保密，不要外传，我感激不尽。”

鲁肃说：“先生真是个诚实的人啊！仅数差十一枝箭，在一般人看来已经是神仙一样高明了，您却为这件事感到惭愧，鲁肃佩服先生的为人，替先生保密就是。”

鲁肃果然是诚信君子，听声数箭的事从未对任何人讲过。因此，历史上只有“草船借箭”而没有“听声数箭”的记录。

[有诚信爱心的名人故事

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。

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.

佛罗里达州一名9岁的小男孩，在湖中游泳时，遭到一条长9英尺(约2.7米长)、重400磅(约180多公斤)的短吻鳄袭击，赤手与其搏斗之后，小男孩身上多处受伤，目前正在医院治疗中。医生从他背部的伤口里取出一颗短吻鳄的牙齿，小男孩表示想把它做成项链。

James Barney Jr, spoke calmly and eloquently about his ordeal from hospital, where he was tucked up in bed with a teddy bear by his side. He was covered in some 30 teeth marks, doctors said.

小男孩名叫小詹姆斯·巴尼，他在医院里平静、生动地讲述了自己与短吻鳄搏斗的经历，在他床边还放有一只泰迪熊。医生说，小詹姆斯全身有30多处牙印。

The little boy described how it was a hot day so he had parked his bike and jumped into Lake Tohopekaliga - a lake that people are forbidden to swim in - when he felt something brush against his leg.

小詹姆斯说那天特别热，于是他就把自行车停在一旁自己跳进了托霍普卡莱加湖，这个湖是禁止人们在里面游泳的，刚一进去他就感觉有东西擦到他的腿了。

It really amazed me what happened. At first, I thought someone was just playing with me, and I didnt know what happened, he told ABC.

“后来发生的事情真的让我大吃一惊。但开始的时候，我以为是有人在跟我闹着玩，我并不知道发生了什么事情。”他告诉广播公司(ABC)的记者。

I reached down to grab it, and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth, and I didnt know what to do, so I immediately reacted and hit it a couple times. And I had enough strength to pry its jaw open. The child pulled the powerful jaws open long enough to slide out and swim to shore.

“我潜入水中抓住了它，摸到了它的下巴，摸到了它的牙齿，可不知道该怎么做，不过我立刻就反应过来了赶紧猛打了它几下，并使劲撑开了它的嘴巴。”小詹姆斯把它的嘴巴撑得足够大后赶紧退后并向岸边游去。

Witnesses say the boy surfaced, screaming that hed been bitten by an alligator. They immediately called 911.

目击者称小男孩浮出水面后尖叫着说自己被一只短吻鳄咬到了。于是他们立刻拨打911报警。

A great and wise man once called one of his workmen to him saying, "Go into the far country and build for me a house. The decisions of planning and of actual construction will be yours, but remember, I shall come to accept your work for a very special friend of mine."

And so the workman departed with a light heart for his field of labor. Material of all kinds was plentiful here, but the workman had a mind of his own. "Surely," he thought, "I know my business. I can use a bit of inferior materials here and cheat on my workmanship a little there, and still make the finished work look good. Only I will know that what I have built has weaknesses."

And so, at last the work was completed and the workman reported back to the great and wise man. "Very good," he said. "Now remember that I wanted you to use only the finest materials and craftsmanship in this house because I wanted to make present of it——My friend, you are the one I had you build it for. It is all yours."

How much like man. He comes to earth a stranger. He has his free agency. He may build as he likes. But on the morning of his resurrection he will receive what he has built for an eternal home and habitation.

Once upon a time there was a kind-hearted nobility, his wife died due to illness, he and his three daughters. This noble tried many inventions, failed, so spent money, so they had to move to a farmhouse life, his daughters also had to personally cooking, sewing and clean.

As for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed, because he had no money to buy dowry daughters. One evening, after washing clothes daughters will hang stockings at the fireplace drying. Saint Nicholas know their fathers situation, on that night, came to their doorstep. He has seen from the window fell asleep, the family also noticed that girls stockings. Then from his pocket, he three packets of gold from the chimney, just dropped a cast of girls in the stockings. The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life. Later, the children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France, the children will put shoes by the fireplace, etc.(.)

早在青年时代，毛泽东就接触到英语。1910年毛泽东离开韶山老家，进入湘乡县城新式学堂——东山小学堂读书，那里有一个从日本留学回来的老师，教英语。所以，毛泽东是在17岁那年开始学习英语的。不过，在随后的革命战争年代，留给毛泽东学习英语的时间并不多，但只要有机会，他会抓紧时间“重操旧业”。

“拍拍-太根儿!”

抗战胜利后，面对由美国撑腰、武装到牙齿的国民党部队，中国共产党没有被“威慑”住。1946年8月6日下午，毛泽东在延安窑洞前半山坡平台上的一个小石桌旁，会见了美国女记者斯特朗。他谈笑风生，纵论天下。交谈中，毛泽东把身子向后一仰，开怀地得出结论：“美国反动派是……”他停顿了一下，显然是在找合适的词，“纸老虎。”因为英语里没有相对应之词，翻译只好将它译成了“scarecrow(稻草人)”。毛泽东让翻译停下来，要斯特朗解释“scarecrow”是什么意思。斯特朗回答说，那是用稻草扎成的人形，农民把它竖到田里来吓唬乌鸦。毛泽东立即表示这样译不好，这不是他的意思。他说，纸老虎并不是吓唬乌鸦的死东西，它是用来吓唬孩子的。它看起来像一只凶猛的野兽，但实际上是纸糊的，一受潮就会发软，一阵大雨就会把它冲掉。

于是，由“纸(paper)”和“老虎(tiger)”这两个单词组合，临时造出的一个英语中没有的复合词“paper-tiger”就出现了，这实际上是硬译。毛泽东高兴地笑了，用带着浓重湖南腔的英语说：“拍拍-太根儿!”“paper-tiger”后来便随着毛泽东的着名论断，在全世界广泛流传了，它也成了毛泽东最喜欢说的一个英语单词。

1954年正式提出学习英文

一直到新中国成立以后，毛泽东提倡干部学习外文。这时有了非常好的条件，学英文才成为他的一种爱好。1954年，林克(毛泽东英文秘书)到他身边工作时，毛泽东正式提出要向林克学习英文。但毛泽东并不使用英语教科书循序渐进地“上课”，而是自己设计了一种独特的“学英文”方式：念英语文章，一个词、一个词地查字典对照着念。毛泽东那时熟悉的英文词语并不多，于是先从阅读英文版《人民中国》、《北京周报》短文，新华社的英文新闻稿入手。众所周知，这种学英语的方法效率并不高，只有“吃力不讨好”，随读随忘记。但是毛泽东一意孤行。

上世纪五六十年代，毛泽东学习英语的兴致最高。他在国内巡视工作期间，无论在火车上、轮船上，随时都用自己的方式“学习英语”。1960年的《莫斯科会议声明》发表以后，他写信问林克：“莫斯科声明英文译本出版了没有?请你找两本来，我准备和你对读一遍。”如此这般将英文译本“对读一遍”，毛泽东遇到不少困难，生词很多。但毛泽东不畏困难。

毛泽东在外国人面前“秀”英语

毛泽东与外国人会面的时候，还喜欢“秀”一把英语。

1970年12月18日凌晨7时许，毛泽东身着睡衣，膝盖上盖着一条毛毯，在中南海住处与美国记者斯诺海阔天空的谈话持续了整整5个小时，一直到午后1点钟。进“早餐”的时候，毛泽东宴请斯诺，王海容(记录)、唐闻生(翻译)作陪。宾主入座，毛泽东起立与斯诺热情碰杯。斯诺用中文祝酒：“毛主席万岁!” 毛泽东则用英语回应：“Long live Snow (斯诺万岁)!”毛泽东接着又跟坐在自己身旁的王海容、唐闻生碰杯，然后对斯诺幽默地说：“我看你这个说了半天 woman(妇女)解放的人就是不尊重 woman，你都不跟她们碰杯……”

“毛泽东学英语处”

有着“天下第一名园”美誉的杭州刘庄，有一座傍水而建的精致小楼，是毛泽东来杭州多次住过的一号楼，人们称作“主席楼”。在“主席楼”后面一条小路旁的树阴下，有一块秀石，上书“毛泽东学英语处”几个红字。有张毛泽东与林克一起学习英语的照片作为佐证，这可能是全国唯一一个纪念毛泽东学英语的地方，也成为了西湖一景。旁边一块低矮的石头表面已有些光滑，显然是由于游人坐在这里拍照留念久而久之被磨光的。

1975年除夕——毛泽东最后的英文水平

1975年12月31日子夜，毛泽东会见了美国前总统尼克松的女儿朱莉和女婿戴维。

这两名美国青年注意到，在他们面前，82岁的毛泽东尽管已被疾病折磨得精疲力尽，“斗争”的话题却使他又“像青年人那样兴奋起来，他的头脑甚至比中国的年轻一辈更充满活力，更渴望斗争”。

毛泽东说：“我们这里有阶级斗争，八亿人口，不斗行吗?”并且用他的湖南腔调的发音着重说出了英语：“Class struggle!”

Class struggle这两个英文单词，既代表了毛泽东最后的英文水平，也代表了毛泽东的一生。

今天，我和妈妈还有葫芦丝学员来到了康平托老院参加一次慈善的活动。

我们来到托老院，看见了许多孤独的老人，他们有些是身体上残疾，有的嘴巴歪了，口水流不停，有的半边身体不能动，还有的是精神不正常，总是笑个不停。我想这些爷爷奶奶是多么地需要我们的关爱和体贴，我们要帮助爷爷奶奶，让他们不那么孤单。

我和妈妈正在喝水，突然，我看到一位老爷爷想要坐到椅子上，可是，他不能走，手也不能动，我马上跑过去，一边推着轮椅车，一边对老爷爷说：“老爷爷，您的家人呢?”年迈的老爷爷干哑地说：“他们不会来看我了。”我真替老爷爷感到伤心，我来到椅子旁，小心翼翼地扶着老爷爷，让他坐下，他跟我说了谢谢，我情不自禁地跑过去，拥抱老爷爷，老爷爷感动得都说不出话来，这是他有生以来最开心的一天。

我相信只要人人都献出一点爱，老人们将变得不再孤单。
