关于冬天的故事英文优秀20篇

寒风刺骨，像针一样穿透灵魂，这鬼天气，路上行人依稀可见，我漫步在宽阔的街头，一种莫名的凄凉拥上心头。呵，那光秃秃的枝头，阴霾覆盖的天空，吹起落叶的狂风，遍布地上的枯草，我不禁摇摇头，叹了口气。

蓦然回首，一个小弟弟出现在我的眼前，他手里握着一个热水袋，用暖阳般的声音，对身边更加年幼的小妹妹说：“给你，握着吧!别冻着了。”那位小妹妹也微笑着：“谢谢你!哥哥，你不冷吗?”哥哥依旧微笑着：“哥哥不冷，你握着吧!”说着，哥哥把热水袋递给他旁边更加年幼的妹妹，“哥哥，你真好!”妹妹“咯咯”的笑着，我不禁为这暖人的场景所动容，一阵幸福之感油然而上。小弟弟发现了我，对我微笑着，我觉得，这才是我在冬日里凄凉中最大的慰藉。

我在在那儿，目送着他们离去。他们的背影中，我读到了亲情的可贵，我读到了丝丝暖意，让我在这寒冷的冬天不再寒冷。

雪总有化的时候，迎来的是万物复苏，冬天总有过去的时候，迎来的是温暖的春天。而这丝丝温情常驻，常驻于每个有情人的心中!

让我们拉起手，踏上寻找这温情的路途。

南方的冬天并不是太冷，阳光的照射让人感到很温暖，对于我这个从小在南方长大的人来说已经习惯了这种天气。虽然说我们不像北方那么冷，但对于我们来说冬天也算非常冷的，由于天气寒冷的缘故，也没有什么好玩的东西，要说好玩的就只有烧烤了。

冬天，我经常和几个差不多同龄的伙伴到河边烤番薯。我们通常是有分工的，有些人从家里带番薯出来，有些人去捡柴火，另外一些人就准备生火。一开始要先去河边捡一些石头围好一个圈，在圈里放柴火，然后把从田里挖来的湿田泥把番薯一个一个包起来，等到全部包好后，就把柴火点燃，烧到旺盛时把用湿泥包好的番薯放进火堆里烤。在烤番薯的过程中我们还要时不时的去捡柴火，直到番薯烤的差不多了。大概烤十五分钟就可以不用柴火了。我们就在旁边等着火熄灭，看到包番薯的泥干了之后出现了裂缝，这就表示番薯熟了。

大概等到包番薯的泥没那么热的时候，我们就用石头把泥敲出来。大家就开始分配吃番薯了，我从来就喜欢吃不大不小的番薯，因为那个容易咬，而且很甜，我从番薯里面挑了两个不大不小的番薯，就津津有味的吃了起来。

冬天虽然比较寒冷，不是我最喜欢的季节，但由于冬天可以烤番薯，让我觉得冬天也是别有一番滋味。

The cold winter is coming and the weather is getting colder. I also observed the change in winter.

In winter, the leaves falling down, like a butterfly with beautiful dancing light falling, withered grass mother as to the earth covered with a layer of soft and golden altar rugs, only have wintersweet flower defying cold standing on the tree brave facing the cold wind to their training like a mighty soldier standing in the team, keep training hard.

In the cold winter, people also change, people wear thick hats, wear soft gloves, wear long scarves and put on warm. A thick down jacket.

There are too many changes in winter!

冬天，对与大家来说并不陌生，到了冬天，天气变得寒冷无常，给人们的生活和学生的学习也带来了许多不方便，因为这样，所以我不喜欢冬天。

但今年冬天发生了这样的一件事情，让我喜欢上冬天了。

今年寒假中的一天，我早上出门来，就发现鹅毛般得雪片纷纷飘下来，一边飘落，还一边跳着迷人的舞蹈。地面上已经积了厚厚的一层，足足有七八厘米深，天气不是一般的冷，冻得我直打喷嚏。我急忙跑到房间里戴上棉手套、棉帽和口罩，这样一来果然暖和了好多。我问妈妈：“天气这么冷，也没办法给农作物好的取暖保护，他们会不会冻死啊？”妈妈回答说：“不会冻死的，反而因为下了雪农作物会生长的更好，有句谚语———瑞雪兆丰年，就是说的这个意思，而且会冻死一部分的害虫，如果没下雪对农作物来说就不好了！”姐姐说：“下雪还会净化空气，减少人们的感冒。”我说：“哦，原来下雪还有这样的好啊！”“弟弟，我们去堆雪人吧？”姐姐提议。“好的，你等等我。”然后我们飞快的跑出去高高兴兴的玩了一上午。

下午我和家人一起去麦地里，看到所有的麦子被厚厚的积雪覆盖着，爸爸说：“这厚厚的积雪，就像麦子的暖和的厚被子，不但不会被冻死，而且还得到了足够的水分，到了春天，积雪融化后，麦子就会茁壮的成长。”我仿佛看到了麦子生机勃勃的生长着的样子，一天比一天高，又仿佛看到了麦子结出了沉甸甸的麦穗在向我招手。

我喜欢这场雪，也开始喜欢上了冬天。

in the spring and autumn period, a man in the state of song raised monkeys. the monkeys could understand what he said.

as the man became poor, he wanted to reduce the monkeys food. he first suggested that he give them three acorns(橡子) in the morning and four acorns in the evening.

thereupon, the monkeys protested angrily. then their owner said, "how about four in the morning and three in the evening?" the monkeys were satisfied with that.

this idiom originally meant to befool others with tricks. later it is used to mean to keep changing ones mind.

I love my hometown in winter, because snow in my hometown in winter, in the vast expanse of snow with my little friends can enjoy a snowman, snowball fights. Can also throw sandbags, a snowmobile. You can also paint in the snow.

I like the winter in my hometown, also because I can set off firecrackers during the Spring Festival. There are many kinds of firecrackers, such as those that can glitter in the sky and the flowers on the ground. They are very beautiful.

I miss the days when I spent my winter in my hometown.

冬，一个白雪的世界，冬天的第一场雪下来，同学们、小朋友们都急忙穿好棉衣，拿着小铲子，来到楼下，快乐的堆雪人、打雪仗。想像着雪花的形状和样子，在这雪白的世界时尽情的玩着、唱着、跳着。

夜，深了，小朋友们都回家了，可谁都没注意到西北风陪伴着雪姑娘飘飘扬扬遨游了一夜。清晨我开门一看，“啊，大雪已经把这个美丽的城市变成了粉装玉砌的世界。远远望去，雪花纷纷扬扬，如阳春纷飞的柳絮，轻旋着，更似那轻盈可爱的小芭蕾舞女，踮着脚尖，悄悄地扑在大地的怀抱里。一夜之间大地银装素裹，那么白，那么好看。几缕微红的去在天边走动，在银色的大地映衬下显得格外动人。

虽然冬是寒冷的，但雪花却给我们带来了无穷无尽的欢乐，我和几个小伙伴拿着小铁锹，把一堆雪堆在空地上，再用桶一扣，就成了雪人的身体，我们又用一个圆形的雪团在地上滚，越滚越圆，最后滚到人头那么大了，我们才把它安上。不一会儿，我们又找到两个石头当眼睛，一个红辣椒当鼻子，两个扫帚当雪人持胳膊。安完之后，我们都哈哈大笑起来。原来雪人的鼻子太红了，使雪人显得像小丑。在我们的欢笑中，雪人的鼻子好像更红了。

雪虽然给我们带来了乐趣，但也给我们带来了许多灾难，比方说今年北方的雪灾，就给许多人造成了很多的不便，成堆的雪把树爷爷压得喘不过气来，只好把一些幼小的树枝给扔到地面上，给人们的出行增加了更多问题，而停电的问题又给我们带来了更多的困扰。

我爱冬天，但是我更爱冬天那象征纯洁美丽的雪，它让寒冷的冬天充满了明媚的阳光，它让令人寂寞的冬天洋溢着欢声笑语。它点缀着冬日那荒凉的大地，给麦田里的麦苗穿上了一层暧暧的冬衣。冬天的故事很多，但都离不开你—洁白的雪，我冬天的最爱。

小编整理了一些简单的英文哲理故事，请看看！

【1】

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich mans house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

【2】

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

【译文】

一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。

于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。

【3】

Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"

"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.

"Youre a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"

"She is the one who sells the candy."

【译文】

One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions.

"But, dad," the boy said, " theres only ONE policeman!"

【译文】

一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这个孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：爸爸，醉字是什么意思?唔，孩子，父亲回答说，你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。可是，爸爸，孩子说，那儿只有一个警察呀!

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck.

The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal.

That night he thought, I neednt work so hard. All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.

So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.

This idiom satirizes(讽刺，挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.

在一个北风呼啸的冬天，人们让我感到春天的温暖。

一天傍晚，我奉老妈之命，去商店买梨。我想：街上小贩卖的梨又大又便宜，我就去小贩那买吧！

我看到一个阿姨推着平板车卖梨。我大声对她喊：“阿姨我要买梨！阿姨我要买梨……”阿姨听我的喊声，急忙向我这边推来。我听到“咔嚓”一声，原来，是那位阿姨的板车前轮压在了一块儿大石头上。车子一斜，满车的梨子就像小孩滑滑梯一样接二连三的从平板车上滑落下来，眼看着一车的梨滚落得满地都是。那位阿姨着急的大声喊：“我的梨呀！我的梨全完了，一会过车我的梨就都被轧坏了呀！嗨！这下又赔了！”人们听到她的叫喊声，纷纷涌来。一个老伯伯说：“下雪路滑，千万要小心呀！别急别急。”说着他就弯腰一个一个的捡起梨来；一位老爷爷说：“别担心，我帮你捡！”说话间，人们有的把梨往菜篮里捡；有的把梨往衣兜里装；有的把梨往方便袋里捡；我也急忙奔过去加入了捡梨的行列。不大一会梨都回到了车上，阿姨满脸笑容的对大家说：“实在太感谢你们了，这天寒地冻的，要不是你们帮忙，我这一车的梨就全完了，这世界上还是好人多呀！人们说不客气，这点小事算不了什么。我心里想是爱心挽救了这一车的梨呀！人们纷纷散去了。

这时我才回过神儿来，我说：“阿姨我买2斤梨。”阿姨高兴的说：“谢谢你帮我捡梨，这梨不要钱了，拿去吃吧！”可是我还是把钱放到阿姨手里。

北风吹得更猛了，可我的心里有春风在吹。

The winter snow, you see, the garden tree branches hung a silver necklace, grass stems on a sparkling pearl. In the field, the wheat has been covered with a thick layer of cotton padded jacket. (-)

A naughty child in the snow in the snowman, snowball fights, throwing snowballs.

Ah! Its the snow that makes the winter wind white.

生活中，快乐，幸福与年龄，性别，家庭背景无关，而是来自于一份健康的生活态度或轻松的心情。帮助需要帮助的人，你的收获，或许仅仅是一句“孩子，你真好!”，或是竖起的一个大拇指，或是一个浅浅的会心的微笑……但已经足够给予你无限的满足和快乐!当我们帮助了别人，别人快乐了，我们也会油然而生一种无比的喜悦，极度的愉快。这是发生在冬天里的故事。

一天放学回家，我刚上引桥就看见一个人拉着几十箱可乐。引桥坡度很陡，又很长。他拉着这车上引桥，看样子很吃力。他走走停停，脸颊鼻子通红，我不由自主地走上去帮助他推。这样，他就可以省点力气。我们终于把车推上了大桥。过路的人都说：“这孩子真乖，真懂事!”那个叔叔高兴地说：“谢谢你，小朋友。这么冷，这是我第一次遇到有人帮我推车。”我说：“不用谢。这是应该做的。我正好可以暖和暖和身体。”说完就快乐地走上了人行道。

还有一次，我的邻居是我的一个同学。他的爸爸妈妈有事出去了，把他留在家里。他为怎么吃饭而发愁，便哇哇大哭起来。我听到哭声走到他的家门口对他说：陈超，别哭了。我不是和你一样吗，爸爸妈妈也出去。这样吧，我在家煮饭、炒菜，我们一块儿吃好吗?”他高兴的说：“好吧，我们有救了。”我拿出饭和鸡蛋。把锅放在火炉上，再放一些油，然后，把蛋调匀，放一点盐，接着，把蛋倒进锅里。等到蛋炒好之后，把冷饭倒进锅里一起又炒。就这样，香喷喷的炒饭就做好了。他一盘，我一盘，两人围在火炉旁高高兴兴的吃着，我的心里热乎乎的。

助人为乐，助长一份无限的爱心!别人得到了温暖，自己得到了快乐。在这个寒冷的冬天里我明白了“你快乐，所以我快乐”的意义!

冬天里的故事，每个人各不相同，只有那件往事，长大后的我才知道属于自己的快乐竟然是父亲的痛楚。

那年，父亲的身体一直不太好，心脏病始终困扰着他，从杨柳摇曳的夏天到落叶飘飘的秋天，父亲一直在家静养身体，连工地的活儿都撂下了。但是小时候粗心大意的我没有发现并深深体会到这一切。

直到冬天杨柳叶落尽，雪花漫天飞舞时，爸爸的心脏病似乎好了！一月的雪洁白如玉，它是天宫派下的小天将，还是月宫桂树上落下的玉叶呢？雪花像美丽的玉蝴蝶，似舞如醉；像吹落的蒲公英；似飘如飞；像天使赏赠的小白花儿；忽散忽聚，飘飘悠悠，轻轻盈盈，无愧是大地的杰作！只见眼前的雪花像蝴蝶一样调皮，一会儿落在屋檐下，一会落在树枝上，还不时飘在行人的脸上。

广场上，几乎没有一人，健身器材上落满了白雪，周围显得十分寂静。那时的我，总是喜欢在冬天玩爬犁，父亲觉得自己身体也好了许多，便带我去新广场满足我的心愿。

父亲在爬犁前端拴上一条长长的粗绳，拉着我围着广场的跑到转。我大呼：“快点，爸爸，加速啊！”父亲总是高兴的回答：“好嘞！”，如同憨厚的车夫，载着我在前面飞奔……我飞驰在冰道上，笑声充满整个广场。

突然响起沉闷的咳嗽声，我听见了父亲一阵阵咳嗽和气喘，我以为是父亲冷了，可能是感冒还没有好，但父亲转过脸时，我才发现父亲的脸憋得有些泛红，左手不停地揉着胸口，右手连忙从裤兜里掏出速效救心丸放在嘴里。此时，我才明白，父亲那阵阵咳嗽，并不是感冒所引起的，而是为我拉爬犁而奔跑劳累，是父亲的心脏病有些犯了。我可能没有看见父亲在偷偷的擦汗水，也没有看见父亲回家后躺在床上难受的样子，但现在，我全都明白了：父亲对我的爱，他为了我的快乐而不顾身体。父爱无言，父亲从来都没有说过。

每当我看见了冬天中慢步行走的父亲，看见了父亲那微微驼下的背影，想起了父亲冬天拉我玩爬犁的情景，想起了父亲对我的爱，喉头不禁一酸，我的泪很快地流下来了。父亲也看见了我，我赶紧拭干了泪怕他看见笑着说了声：“爸！”忽然看见了父亲鬓角那稀疏的头发也有些斑白，我又仿佛看见了父亲眼中的期盼，盼我长大成才。我挺了挺肩膀和父亲手挽手，一起走进漫天大雪中，我坚信自己不会让父亲失望，不会辜负父亲对我的爱。

冬天里的故事像一团火温暖我的心，冬天里的故事是无私的父爱奉献着生命里最宝贵的一切，它让我深深懂得了：父爱是世界上最深沉的情感。

一个星期六的早晨，我起床拉开窗帘，哇！白茫茫的一片，小区的绿化丛穿上了一层白白的厚衣，眼前的景象让我兴奋和激动。看，几个小男孩玩得正欢呢！他们有的在捏雪球，有的拿着雪球在追逐着，还有的在瞄准方向掷雪球。

我匆匆忙忙吃完早饭，对妈妈说：“妈妈，我想下去玩雪。”“好啊，打雪仗是男孩子玩的，你不能参加。我记得你没堆过雪人，要不我和你一起下去堆雪人怎么样？”“好啊！”我拉着妈妈飞快地跑下楼。

我们开始堆雪人了，妈妈先把一大堆雪揉成一团，放在地上一边翻动一边用力按，再放在雪地里滚啊滚，不一会儿雪人的身子做好了。妈妈还划了两条凹槽，是想做出两个手臂的造型。我学着她的样子，开始做雪人的头，我把雪球滚得圆圆的，接着把圆乎乎的小脑袋放上身体。哎呀，不好！小脑袋散开了，我连忙用力把它拍紧。在妈妈的帮助下，雪人的脑袋和身体结合了。妈妈回家去拿来了胡萝卜尖儿，两个大的黑纽扣和一些红色的小纽扣。我把胡萝卜尖儿插在雪人脸的正中间，当鼻子，又把两粒大的黑纽扣分别放在鼻子的上面，雪人有了一双乌黑的大眼睛。最后把红色的小纽扣，放在鼻子下围成一个嘴巴形状。一个可爱小雪人做成了。咦，我总觉得还缺点什么，忙跑回家，拿来了一个装沙滩玩具的红色小桶，和一条红色围巾。我把桶翻过来往雪人头上一扣，便成了雪人的小红帽，再把围巾往雪人脖子上一绕，美丽“冻”人的雪人大功告成了！看着自己堆出来的雪人，我心里甜滋滋的，美滋滋的！

堆雪人真开心，希望每年的冬天都下雪！

在电视新闻中，我看到许多关于贫困家庭的报道，其中有一则最让我难忘。这则新闻的主人公叫宗国怡，她是一个一岁就被遗弃的孩子，在一个极端贫困的家庭里渐渐长大。我之所以把更多的目光投向了她――一个自强不息的女孩，是因为我们学校与这个孩子之间发生了一个故事，一个感人的故事。

一个寒冷的冬天，这是故事发生的时间;一间破旧的小屋，这是故事发生的地点;我们慧小校长携两名大队委沿着一条蜿蜒的小道，来到了宗国怡的家，亲手送上了全校师生的祝福与钱物，也送上了全体慧小人的爱心。

这个冬天的故事很感人，很温馨，有如一股暖流在寒冷的冬天流淌。它流向了困境中的宗国怡，流向了全体慧小人的心中，流向了所有关注宗国怡的美好的人，也流向了我的心田。虽然我没能亲自参加这一次活动，但是我仍然感受到我们校长与两委大队委的关切，感受到宗国怡的开心，感受到她爷爷奶奶的感激……这一切感动着我，让我在很长时间之后，回想起来内心依然涌起丝丝温馨。

这个冬天的故事给我很大的感触。小屋里的宗国怡条件是艰苦的，但意志是坚强的，最让我难忘的是报道中所说的她那幅挂在墙上的字：理想的风帆。正是因为心中的理想，她才能在这种困境中站直，犹如冬天的腊梅，在风雪之中毫不低头!这种精神让我感动，更值得我学习。有这样一句话：困难像弹簧，你强它就弱，你弱它就强。因为坚强，宗国怡取得了优异的成绩，因为坚强，她战胜了生活中的一个又一个困难。在生活中，我们要像宗国怡一样，做一个强者，做一个永不低头的强者!

我想，我今后的人生道路上，肯定会遇到如宗国怡一样困难的孩子，我会记住这个冬天的故事，送上我的一片爱心;我也会遇到很多的困难和挫折，我会记住这个冬天的故事，变得如宗国怡一样坚强!

[冬天的感人故事作文

Samantha, like many renters, is tired of renting. One reason is that her annual rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord raises the rent five percent. Another reason is her neighbors. “New neighbors always seem to be more inconsiderate than the ones who moved out,” she said. “My first neighbor was a door-slammer; I always knew when he came home or left home. After he moved out, a saxophonist moved in. A saxophonist! He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I’d get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the guy was only playing two hours a day!”

There are many unhappy renters, but there are also happy renters. “I’ve been lucky my whole life,” said Howard, a middle-aged man. “My neighbors couldn’t have been any better if I had picked them myself. One neighbor was a chef. He’d bring me the best leftovers in the world. Another neighbor was a pianist. She played the most delightful music. Another neighbor was a mechanic who did my tune-ups and changed the oil in my car. My latest neighbor is a birder; we go birding every weekend with our binoculars.”

Different persons have different attitudes. Samantha saw the saxophone player as irritating, yet Howard saw the piano player as delightful. Millions of people would be happy just to have a roof over their head. Yet there are millions who would complain that their roof is the wrong color.

[经典的英文哲理故事

大家好!我有着洁白而晶莹的身躯。我的身躯非常冰冷，人们都说我冷面无情，其实我本身很纯洁善良并不是你们虽说得那样。你们猜我是谁?对了!我就是—冬天。

我有点讨人厌。但是我的各个姐姐们都讨人喜欢。春天—万物复苏，春暖花开。夏天—孩子们游泳吃着冰凉的冰淇淋。秋天—农民们开心的丰收。只有我不引人注意。

当然我也有一些小粉丝，但大多人都不喜欢我，所以我常常感到很寂寞，冬天一到人们就穿起肥重的棉袄。嘿!我也有两个很要好的朋友—雪花和雪。雪花在冬季里可以让空气增加湿度，不再那么干燥!令人高兴的是雪花在冬天里给农作物们盖上了一层层厚厚的“棉被”，一来增添水分，二来冻死里面的害虫。三来给丰收打下了坚定的基础。人们常说“农家要吃饭，九九雪甭断。”“冬天麦盖三层被，来年枕着馒头睡。”由于地上出现厄尔尼诺现象，雪也很少来光临人间了。雪是小朋友们的喜爱之一。我来了 ，雪也跟着来了，它们悠悠地落了下来 ，早上醒来，小朋友们兴奋地跑了出来。堆雪人、打雪仗，多快活呀!我心里痒痒的也跟着下去玩了起来。

原来我也是很讨人喜爱的。我有点讨厌自己，因为我会让体弱的小朋友生病。我自卑，我自责。但是我还是很喜欢我自己，谢谢老天给我的恩赐。

感动的日出

我的化学老师非常年轻非常漂亮。

据说她的成绩一直很好，总是第一名。可在我们班，却发生了一个大逆转。

我们的成绩连续两次年级倒数第一。真是非常对不起她，真的。

我非常努力的去学习这门课，希望能够补救一些对她的歉意。

有一天，像往常一样她要在课堂上发我们前一天做的卷子。她夹了一摞卷子，走上讲台。我们屏息凝视的看着她。忐忑地猜测结果。她翻动着卷子，说：“这次有两个同学做的最好。”她的目光洒到我身上，我立刻一振。接着，她说出了我的名字，又说了我们班常考第一的那个同学的名字。——那是一个冬日的早晨，阳光却出奇的明媚，一束一束的射来，撒在我的眼角，像安徒生的小人鱼要化为泡沫的那个早晨的阳光。顿时，在我眼前像是盛开了大片大片的矢车菊，蓝蓝的，反射着光芒。我感动于她念名字的先后。我是第二名，不管是什么成绩，总要把那个第一名同学放到我前面。这像一个规则，大家默许的。而她却毫不犹豫的打破了。

我感动于那天的阳光和我的老师，真的。

导语 :海伦·凯勒（Helen Keller，1880年6月27日－1968年6月1日），美国著名的女作家、教育家、慈善家、社会活动家。最著名的有：《假如给我三天光明》《我的人生故事》《石墙故事》。下面由小编为大家整理的海伦凯勒英文故事，欢迎大家阅读与借鉴！

海伦凯勒英文故事

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。

冬天来了，雪花如鹅毛般飘飞。

清晨，无事的我一个人来到狭窄的小巷子里。无聊的踢着石头，也许是冬爷爷看出了我的无聊，于是派了许多冬天的小天使来陪我一起踢石头。

“呀！对不起！”我惭愧得说，原来是我把石头踢到了别人的脚下，我仍是惭愧得低着头。那个人犹豫了许久才回答我说：“没关系的，请问您可以买一盒火柴吗？”我听这个台词怎么那么熟悉，哦！我想起来了，是童话王国里的卖火柴的小女孩。

我猛地一抬头，原来真的是她，她穿着一条破旧不堪的连衣裙，上面还有依稀可见的缝缝补补的痕迹，而且还真跟童话书上写的一模一样，她真的只穿了一只破旧的不合脚的大拖鞋，左手上还挂着一个大竹筐，里面并且装满了火柴，披盖在火柴上的是一块掉色的粉红色的布，上面依稀还能看到一行字：妈妈永远陪在你的身边的。由于寒风的袭击，我眼前的这多花正处于凋谢阶段。

女孩用哀求的眼光看着我仿佛在说：“您就卖一盒吧，哪怕几根也好。”我感觉我的泪水已溢满眼眶，我强忍着不哭。急忙从口袋里找出了仅有的三个硬币，放在她的手上，她感激地说：“谢谢，谢谢你。”她顺手从篮子里拿出了一大盒火柴。

以火箭的速度消失在巷子里，正当她迈入拐弯口时，她突然停住朝我笑了一下，接着她又消失在雪中。我飞快地追上前去，可怎么也追不上，我嘴里还大声地喊着：“等一下！”“你怎么了！快醒醒！”怎么是妈妈的声音，我睁开双眼，原来刚刚那些都是在做梦。

现在回想起来，买火柴的小女孩好可怜啊！卖火柴的小女孩请问你可以再次出现在我的梦境里吗
