Covering Ones Ears While Stealing a Bell

掩耳盗铃

Mr. Wang thinks he is clever, but he always does [en]foolish

things.[/en]

王先生总以为自己很聪明，实际上他总干傻事。

One day he sees a beautiful bell at the top of a door. "Oh! How nice! I will take it home." He thinks, "What can I do?" After a while he has a "good" idea. "Aha! I have an idea now. I can plug my ears. Then I will not hear the ring when I take off the bell."

一天，他看见一户人家的门头有个很漂亮的铃铛。"啊，真漂亮啊!我要把它拿回家去。"他自言自语道："我该怎么做呢?"过了一会儿他想到了一个"好"主意。"啊哈!我有办法了!我把耳朵堵上，拿铃铛的时候就听不见铃声了。"

Then he does so. But as soon as he takes off the bell, the owner opens the door. "What are you doing?" the owner says angrily.

于是他就这样做了。可是他刚拿下铃铛，屋子的主人就打开门，怒气冲冲地说："你在干什么?"

【成语来源】

At the time when Fan, a nobleman of the state of Jin, became a fugitive, a commoner found a bell and wanted to carry it off on his back.

春秋时侯，晋国贵族智伯灭掉了范氏。有人趁机跑到范氏家里想偷点东西，看见院子里吊着一口大钟。钟是用上等青铜铸成的，造型和图案都很精美。小偷心里高兴极了，想把这口精美的大钟背回自已家去。

But the bell was too big for him.

可是钟又大又重，怎么也挪不动。

[/en]When he tried to knock it into pieces with a hammer there was a loud clanging sound. [/en]

他想来想去，只有一个办法，那就是把钟敲碎，然后再分别搬回家。小偷找来一把大锤，拼命朝钟砸去，咣的一声巨响，把他吓了一大跳。

He was afraid that someone will hear the noise and take the bell from him, so he immediately stopped his own ears.

小偷着慌，心想这下糟了，这种声不就等于是告诉人们我正在这里偷钟吗?他越听越害怕，不同自由地抽回双手，使劲捂住自已的耳朵。

To worry about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but to worry about himself hearing the noise (as if stopping his own ears would prevent other people from hearing) is absurd.

“咦，钟声变小了，听不见了!”小偷高兴起来，“妙极了!把耳朵捂住不住就听不进钟声了吗!”他立刻找来两个布团，把耳朵塞住，心想，这下谁也听不见钟声了。于是就放手砸起钟来，一下一下，钟声响亮地传到很远的地方。人们听到钟声蜂拥而至把小偷捉住了。

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。

An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer. One day the dog arrogantly1 says: "How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch out for the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…"

"Me? How about me ?" the ox says

"You can only plough or draw a cart," the dog slightly says. "Yes. Its true," the ox says. "But if I dont plough, what do you guard?"

一头牛和一只狗同时为一个农夫工作。狗骄傲地说着：“我是多么重要啊!白天我在牧场看护家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”

“我?我怎么啦?”

牛反问。“你只会犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地说。“是的。你说得没有错，”牛回答道。“但是如果没有我犁地，你看护什么呢?”

深圳是座美丽的城市，往往有一些人在默默地、不求回报地奉献出自己的爱。

一、不求回报

高正荣同志就是其中一个，他是个五星级义工，到了四十一岁还无存款没房子未成家，他把时间、金钱、精力无偿奉献给几十位走到生命尽头的不幸者。1995年，怀着对大山外边世界的无限憧憬，高正荣离开了家乡，来到了深圳。他先后当过木工、安装工、送货员和保安员。艰苦的打工生活没有改变高正荣爱学习爱看书的习惯，更没有改变他乐于助人的习惯，他经常利用工余时间给一些文化程度低的工友补习文化，还掏钱给他们买书。2001年，高正荣被宝安青少年活动中心聘为课外辅导员，当起了几个孩子的校外辅导教师。尽管每月的收入不足两千元，但却使他有了大量属于自己的时间。他开始考虑应该为社会做点什么。2001年3月中旬的一天，他从报纸上看到一位重病患者急需RH阴性血救命，便毫不犹豫地从宝安驱车赶到深圳市中心血站无偿献血。

“我不认识你，但我谢谢你!”高正荣捐完血后看着血站送给他贺卡上的这句话，心头洋溢起一种特别的快乐：“我献出的鲜血可以挽救一个人的生命，这是一件多么有意义的事情啊!”怀着一种前所未有的光荣感走出血站大门时，他看到几十名身穿红马甲的深圳义工赶来献血。那一刻，他终于知道，在深圳有着一个以奉献爱心为己任的爱心团队。第二天上午，他就来到深圳义工联报了名，成为深圳的第4566号义工。

他就这样无私地奉献，为了让更多的人活得快乐，他牺牲得太多。但他无怨无悔，迈着大步，义无反顾地往前走。这就是高正荣，一名普通的深圳五星级义工。

二、无私奉献

接下来是一个大家都认识的五星级义??丛飞，截止目前，他已经资助了贵州、湖南、四川等贫困山区178名贫困儿童。1994年起，他开始资助贫困山区的贫困孩子，受他资助的孩子达到178人，累计捐助款300万元。现在，他受到了深圳市民的敬仰，由于资助孩子散光了家财，人们纷纷为他捐款，医院也决定免收治疗费。丛飞在一些城市的商业演出中，已经小有名气，每场演出的出场费能够达到一万到两万元，多的时候一个月的收入可以到十几万元，资助孩子们的学费。但2003年非典后，丛飞的演出机会锐减，收入也就越来越少，给孩子交学费时资金也紧张起来，当时为了及时给一百多个孩子交上学费，丛飞从亲朋好友处先后借了10万元，在开学前如期给孩子们送去。

他们就这样无私地奉献，为了让更多的人活得快乐，他们牺牲得太多，但他们无怨无悔。这就是高正荣和丛飞，两名普通的深圳五星级义工，他们不求回报地奉献出了自己的爱

身边的爱正如巨大的伞布，为我们遮去烈日的照射;更如纯厚的棉衣，为我们阻挡寒风的侵袭。让被温暖的我们明白，其实爱就在身边。

小鱼经常生活在水中，却不知道水是什么东西。正如我们生活中最常见而又不可或缺的爱，却经常被我们忽视，让原本温馨的生活出现瑕疵。

仁厚的父爱

父爱如山，宽容、仁厚。从我呱呱落地便开始享受这无私的父爱。从小喜欢父亲背我来散步，觉得父亲的双肩是那么的充实，安全。大一些喜欢父亲拉着我给我讲通话故事，觉得父亲的大手是那么的有力，踏实。随着步入青春时代，叛逆的内心充斥我的一言一行，乖巧听话的我已经远去，我和父亲争吵的情景频现，到现在我才明白此时的父爱是叹息后的原谅，是低声下气为别人道歉。此时此刻我更加明白，父爱就在我身边。

暖心的师爱

师爱如衣，朴实、温暖。我哼着《上学歌》迈进了教室，坐在课堂上学习，时刻接受着老师的关怀。上学已经有十几年了，所经历的老师也不尽相同，但是他们对我最朴实的关爱都是一样的让我久久不能忘怀，有雨中送我回家，有耐心为我讲解，有微笑的鼓励，有心与心的交流。在这十余载艰辛的求学之路上，是这些老师的爱伴我前行，让我不再害怕与孤单。如今我更明白，师爱依旧在我身边。

无疆的大爱

爱心如日，温暖、明亮。我们温馨的生活在祖国的大家庭中，时刻享受着同胞们的关爱。最近几年，我们的神州大地灾难频现，但是拥有爱心的我们众志成城，用爱心呵护家园。从最早的南方冻雨到汶川地震再到最近的北京洪灾，无一不体现着我们人间的真爱，这些真爱可能是巨资的捐款，也可能就是一条棉被，但是它们在爱的天平上是等重的，因为它们都能使受灾的人民感到温暖。此刻我们都明白，爱就在身边。

我们生活在爱的世界，我们不能忽视爱的存在，不能不满家人的行为，不能不服学校的教育，更不能因为小事就大呼社会不公平，因为细想之后我们会发现其实他们给我们的爱就在身边，只是我们有时会将生活中最常见的爱忽略掉。

圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。 也传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称st.nicholas。据说他原是小亚细亚每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊为圣徒，是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来，由烟囱进入各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。所以，西方人过圣诞节时，父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里，圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天，孩子们醒来后的第一件事就是在床头上寻找圣诞老人送来的礼物

李阳祖籍山西，1969年出生于祖国大西北的新疆乌鲁木齐。其父母六十年代大学毕业后响应党的号召志愿支援边疆建设。李阳中学的学习状况不很理想，1985-1986年高三期间因对学习失去信心曾几欲退学，1986年自新疆实验中学勉强考入兰州大学工程力学系。大学一二年级李阳多次补考英语。

为了彻底改变英语学习失败的窘况，李阳开始奋起一博，他摒弃了偏重语法训练和阅读训练的传统，另辟蹊径，从口语突破，并独创性将考试题变成了朗朗上口的句子，然后脱口而出。经过四个月的艰苦努力，李阳在1988年大学英语四级考试中一举获得全校第二名的优异成绩。

李阳，绝对是高中学生学习英语的榜样。基础差不要紧，笨鸟先飞嘛，关键是我们要引导学生树立起学好英语的自信心：人家可以讲一口流利、纯正、地道的英语，我们也一定能！

在美国加里佛尼亚的一个墓园里埋葬着美国南北战争期间南军最高统帅（好象是叫罗伯特。李）。在他的墓不远处还有一个小小的坟墓，里面埋葬的是一个五岁的无名男孩。故事还要从100年前说起。

当时，这片土地的主人和他的儿子生活在这里。有一天，他五岁的儿子不小心掉下山崖摔死了，悲痛欲绝的父亲把他埋在了这里。后来这位父亲穷途潦倒，出卖了这片土地。但是他在买卖合同上注明：以后不管任何人拥有这片土地都要把孩子的坟墓保留。时光荏苒，100年过去了，土地几易其主，最后被美国政府买下并把它作为将军的墓地，但是在它的旁边依然保留着那个小小的无名墓。

多么感人的故事啊。哪一个善良正直的人不为之动容呢？从普通百姓到政府机构都能恪守诚信，一诺千金，为的却是一个极为普通小孩子。这一切表明了在美国人格能够受到真正的尊重，诚信的观念牢牢地植深于人们心中，这也正是这个民族的精髓，是她今天之所以能够强大的根本原因之一。当然，我并不是说美国一切都好，任何国家都有其不足的地方，但要看什么是主流。想想我们今天的社会物欲横流，为了金钱尔虞我诈，图财害命，哪还讲什么信誉和诚信！这难道不值得我们好好的反思吗？早日树立起诚信的社会风尚是我们每一个公民的责任，从我做起！

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.

去年暑假，爸爸妈妈带我去苏州、杭州旅游，一路上我们游览了很多著名的景点，玩得特别开心。

苏州有一个园林非常漂亮，园林门口有一大片绿绿的草坪，我看见了就跑进去拍照，妈妈赶紧叫我出来，对我说：“你不要去草坪上拍照片，你把小草踩疼了，你的一脚可就是小草的一生啊。”听了妈妈的话，叔叔阿姨都不去草坪里拍照了，是妈妈保护了小草。

到了园林里面，我看见了许多鲜花，那些花散发着阵阵香味，千姿百态的，有的张开了笑脸，有的还没盛开、还有的是花骨朵。我们都被迷住了，我想摘一朵，妈妈看见了，拉住我的手说：“要爱护花草，你去摘花，花会疼的。园子里的花是给大家观赏的，你摘一朵，他摘一朵，不就看不成了吗。花是有生命的，摘下来就死了。”我只好连忙缩回了手，以后我再也不随便摘花了。

花草也是小生命啊！我们大家都来爱护花草吧！

庄子悠闲地坐在濮水河边钓鱼。

楚威王派二位大臣游说庄子，希望他接受楚国相国的职位。

庄子问道：“听说贵国有只神龟，已死三千年，楚王将它作为镇国之宝，珍藏在庙堂之中。两位认为这乌龟愿意享有死后的尊荣还是宁肯拖着尾巴在烂泥里活着？”

楚国使丞回答说：“我们认为他愿意活着！”庄子听了这话，对二人说：“好了，两位走吧。我也愿意拖着尾巴在这烂泥中自由自在地活着。”

1 leisurely

adj.悠闲的；从容的，慢慢的

参考例句：

We walked in a leisurely manner,looking in all the windows.我们慢悠悠地走着，看遍所有的橱窗。

He had a leisurely breakfast and drove cheerfully to work.他从容的吃了早餐，高兴的开车去工作。

“霍！”身边的人说，“这人真老。”“老成啥样了，司机竟然还准上车，真是……”后面一串话没听见，因为我被这老人的年龄震住了。

他苍颜白发，佝偻着腰。神那，最起码都890十了呀，还准上车，我对这司机无语了。真是个活宝呀。啥都敢放上车，真牛。我服了。实现转到那个老人身上。他在那站着，对此我那时也没啥想法，为什么呢，就因为他比我迟上了20分钟。这就是规矩，没道德的人车上的规矩。只见他扶着扶手，慢慢“挪”到一个貌似是军人的身边（因为他穿着军服，所以我认为这就是军人了。）说了句：“请问可以为我这个老头让一下座位吗，走了十里路了，困了，想歇一下，请问可以吗？”那个男的没说什么，把头撞向窗外，默默的看着远方白茫茫的大雪。老人被无视了。

站了一会，一个小女孩走过来拉了拉老人的衣角“爷爷，坐我那吧。”“谢谢。”说着又瞪了那个男人一眼，转身走了我突然想到了一句名词“风萧萧兮易水寒，老人一去不复还，想了想，哈哈笑起来。身边的人都是一副看神经病的眼神看着我，我脸上的笑容冻结了。无奈，空悲切。

很快车到站了，是第一站。那个一直看着窗外的男子起来了。人们都看着他，小声的议论着。他刚走了两步，忽然一阵冷风袭面，我打了个颤，又停了一下那个男的走出去了人们一直看着他的背影。嗯？他的背咋看着这莫湿呢？转头看着他刚坐的座位，我呆住了。

只见那个玻璃烂了一个超大的洞，几乎就烂完了。我的眼睛湿润了，原来他一直是用身体为车上的人挡住寒冷啊。

有一个人上来了，我起身让她坐在那，然后就默默的站在一边，人们夸奖我的话也没听见去，因为那个人挡住的不是为了别人的夸奖，甚至可以忍受那样的眼神，我自认为我对不起那几声感谢……

陕西西安户县蒋村中学初三:一点印象

[以身边的爱心故事命题的作文

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!"

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. That‘s why I picked it; here, it‘s for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

你听说过害的女儿的故事么。如果没有，快来看看吧。

"Yes, you are dear to me," said the prince; "for you have the best heart, and you are the most devoted to me; you are like a young maiden whom I once saw, but whom I shall never meet again. I was in a ship that was wrecked, and the waves cast me ashore near a holy temple, where several young maidens performed the service. The youngest of them found me on the shore, and saved my life. I saw her but twice, and she is the only one in the world whom I could love; but you are like her, and you have almost driven her image out of my mind. She belongs to the holy temple, and my good fortune has sent you to me instead of her;we will never part."

“是的,你是我最亲爱的人!”王子说,“因为你在一切人中有一颗最善良的心。你对我是最亲爱的,你很像我某次看到过的一个年轻女子,可是我永远再也看不见她了。那时我是坐在一艘船上——这船已经沉了。巨浪把我推到一个神庙旁的岸上。有几个年轻女子在那儿作祈祷。她们最年轻的一位在岸旁发现了我,因此救了我的生命。我只看到过她两次:她是我在这世界上能够爱的唯一的人,但是你很像她,你几乎代替了她留在我的灵魂中的印象。她是属于这个神庙的,因此我的幸运特别把你送给我。让我们永远不要分离吧!”

"Ah, he knows not that it was I who saved his life," thought the little mermaid. "I carried him over the sea to the wood where the temple stands: I sat beneath the foam, and watched till the human beings came to help him. I saw the pretty maiden that he loves better than he loves me;" and the mermaid sighed deeply, but she could not shed tears. "He says the maiden belongs to the holy temple, therefore she will never return to the world. They will meet no more: while I am by his side, and see him every day. I will take care of him, and love him, and give up my life for his sake."

“啊,他却不知道我救了他的生命!”小人鱼想。“我把他从海里托出来,送到神庙所在的一个树林里。我坐在泡沫后面,窥望是不是有人会来。我看到那个美丽的姑娘——他爱她胜过于爱我。”这时小人鱼深深地叹了一口气——她哭不出声来。“那个姑娘是属于那个神庙的——他曾说过。她永不会走向这个人间的世界里来——他们永不会见面了。我是跟他在一起,每天看到他的。我要照看他,热爱他,对他献出我的生命!”

Very soon it was said that the prince must marry, and that the beautiful daughter of a neighboring king would be his wife, for a fine ship was being fitted out. Although the prince gave out that he merely intend

“爱心”是一只狗。

我从没养过狗。但我的朋友朱琴音却有许多狗狗朋友。我记忆最深的是“爱心”的故事。

“爱心”是一只品种不算太好，甚至可以说只是乡下人家拿来当看家狗的黄毛狗，但它与朱琴音却是最好的朋友。朱琴音说，“爱心”是她在小区附近看到的一只狗，当时，它被系在大树上的绳子紧紧拴着。她帮这只努力想挣开绳子、可怜巴巴的狗儿解开拴着的绳，想让它得到自由。可这只狗儿摇摇尾巴，不由分说跟着朱琴音进了小区。它被安顿在食堂楼下。每天，食堂的叔叔都会喂它一些骨头什么的，它吃得津津有味。

朱琴音说：“狗是有感情的。”

“爱心”就是这样。自从被朱琴音救了之后，“爱心”见到朱琴音，就会摇着尾巴，眼睛像黑宝石一样亮闪闪的，奔过去和她玩，用粉红的舌头舔她的手。朱琴音摸它的时候，它也会驯服得低下头来。但是，当别人靠近它时，它总会“汪汪”叫唤几声，露出尖尖的牙齿，见朱琴音摸摸它的头，它就又乖乖地安静下来。

“爱心”是一只老母狗，年龄已经很大了。在我来宁波之前，“爱心”已经在这儿呆了好长一段时间了。

这几天，它吃的食物很少，皮毛也少些光泽，眼珠浑浊，只有朱琴音来看它的时候，它的皮毛才会恢复些光泽，眼睛才会微微张开一些，有了些神采；朱琴音喂它的时候，它才会用它发黄的牙齿吃点儿碎肉。

几天之后，朱琴音告诉我：“爱心”失踪了，不知去了哪儿了。

前天，朱琴音放学回来，刚进小区的门，似乎有种什么力量在驱使着她，她挪动脚步习惯性地又跑去找她的“爱心”。真是奇怪，爱心居然乖乖地躺在地上，走近一看才发现它不怎么对劲。见到朱琴音，它勉强站起来，“汪汪”叫着，最后一次将骨头咬碎，艰难地咽了下去，用舌头舔舔朱琴音的手，爪子搭在她的腿上，之后，便再没见过它。

“爱心”，永远地离去了。我们，却为这只老母狗的忠诚永远地怀念它。
