The Lioness

A CONTROVERSY prevailed among the beasts of the field as to which of the animals deserved the most credit for producing the greatest number of whelps at a birth. They rushed clamorously into the presence of the Lioness and demanded of her the settlement of the dispute. "And you," they said, "how many sons

have you at a birth? The Lioness laughed at them, and said:

"Why! I have only one; but that one is altogether a thoroughbred Lion.The value is in the worth, not in the number.

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.

美国佛罗里达州一名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。”他告诉美国广播公司(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。

可能导致马航飞机坠毁的原因是什么?

Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies, the Boeing 777’s reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year.

There are around 1,000 Boeing 777s in service, and the plane is a long haul workhorse, plying some of the longest routes.

It entered service in 1995 and the National Transportation Safety Board, which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft, has logged fewer than 60 incidents.

But the recent record has been more patchy with two major incidents - a crash at San Francisco airport last July, which claimed three lives, and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777 at Heathrow in January 2008.

But the Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving a Asiana Airlines flight at San Francisco International Airport in July.

Both the BA and Asiana accidents occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.

The accident at San Francisco in July was attributed to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air.

But initial reports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the 53-year-old Malaysian airlines pilot, was hugely experienced - having joined the carrier in 1981 and with 18,365 hours in the cockpit under his belt.

The BA crash landing, which did not result in any fatalities, was finally found to have been caused by a blockage in the fuel line feeding the engine.

Simply put the aircraft had the aviation equivalent of a cardiac arrest because some of the fuel failed to melt and blocked the supply line at the end of a long flight from Beijing to London, during which the plane travelled through unusually cold airspace over Siberia.

This crash has echoes of the disaster in which 288 people on board an Air France Airbus 330. That plane, another long-haul workhorse, crashed into the Atlantic en-route from Rio de Janeiro in June 2009 killing 228 people.

A variety of explanations have been given for the Air France crash, with investigators finding that the plane’s speed sensors were giving an incorrect reading.

But with this crash involving a different aircraft, it will take several months before investigators can ascertain the cause.

据英国《每日电讯报》报道,波音777飞机一直被认为是最安全机型之一,但不到一年时间里发生第二起致命坠毁必然会使其名声受损。

波音777飞机在1995年投入使用,现在运行中的波音777飞机大约有1000架,而且它们通常承担最远距离的飞行,是长途运输的主力。负责监控美国制造飞机的美国国家运输安全委员会记录的意外事件不到60件。

但是,最近的记录却因为两次重大事件显得很突出——一件为去年7月旧金山机场的坠机事件,导致三人死亡,另一件为2008年1月在希思罗机场一架英国航空公司的波音777迫降事件。

然而,本次马航事件与英国航空公司事件以及在旧金山国际机场发生的韩亚飞机坠毁事件不同。上两次事件发生在降落前的很短时间内,而马航飞机在航程开始不久就从雷达信号中消失了。

7月的旧金山机场事件归因于飞行员的错误操作,飞行员认为电脑能保持足够的速度使飞机保持空中高度,因此使发动机处于闲置状态。但是,初步报告表明53岁的马航飞行员沙阿飞行经验丰富——1981年进入马航,飞行时间已达1.8365万个小时。

英国航空公司的飞机迫降事件,没有造成人员死亡,失事原因最终确定为连接引擎的燃油管线堵塞。

假设把这次飞机失事的原因比作心脏骤停,原因是在北京到伦敦飞行的最后,经过了西伯利亚不同寻常的寒冷上空,一部分燃料没有融化堵住了供应管道。

本次马航事件让人联想到当年载有288名乘客的法航空客330坠毁事件。这架长途飞行的客机在2009年6月从里约热内卢起飞后在途中坠入大西洋,造成228人死亡。

对于法航飞机坠毁事件的原因,有多个解释,但调查发现飞机的速度传感器给出了错误的读数。但是本次马航事件的飞机与前面所述飞机不同,可能需要几个月的调查才能确定其原因。

云南鲁甸6.5级地震 2500余名官兵赶赴救援

China has deployed 2,500 soldiers to the south-western province of Yunnan to help search for survivors after an earthquake killed at least 398 people.

中国西南省份云南日前发生地震,目前已造成至少398人死亡,政府已出动2500名官兵赶往灾区协助搜救工作。

在我们死后,我们的挚爱可以获得我们的网络账户密码吗?

Should Your Family Get Access To Your Online Accounts When You Die?

Its a question that will eventually—hopefully not soon!—confront you, me, and every other person reading this: Should our loved ones gain access to our digital lives, from email to Instagram to financial accounts, after we die? A cadre of state-appointed lawyers are creating a bill that would allow for just that.

This is one of the more important legal dilemmas of recent years, and only a few states have clear laws on whether, say, a parent should gain access to their childs Facebook if the child dies, or whether a wife should get access to financial information locked in her deceased husbands email account. This week at its annual meeting, the Uniform Law Commission—a Chicago-based group of lawyers who are appointed to write clear and stable language for new legislation—will finalize its recommended language for a law that would give loved ones access to all of your digital accounts after you die. Unless you specify otherwise.

As the AP reports today, the bill would create a legal process for gaining access, which can be incredibly difficult today:

Most people assume they can decide what happens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and most companys "terms of service" agreements prohibit anyone from accessing an account that isnt theirs. That means loved ones technically become criminals if they log on to a dead persons account.

And thats assuming they even have the password. Going up against giants like Google makes the process even more difficult. And for a grieving family, it can be all but impossible.

The bill would give access—but not control—to loved ones unless they specifically wrote in their will that they wouldnt allow it.

在抗战那些年,你还记那些爱国文学家吗?比如:叶圣陶,鲁迅,朱自清。下面,就由yuwenmi小编给大家分享与q有关的作文,希望对各位童鞋能有所感悟!

著名文学家的爱国故事三则

故事一:文学家叶圣陶的爱国心

我国现代著名的教育家、文学家叶圣陶又是一位伟大的爱国主义者。从“五四”运动直到1988年他生命终了的每个历史时期,始终怀有一颗强烈而诚挚的爱国心.他主张唤起民众,外争国权,内惩国贼,他写了大量爱憎分明的战斗檄文,揭露和抗议国民党的高压统治.解放后,他更以巨大的热情投入到各项社会活动之中.叶圣陶的一生,是自觉追随共产党,探求真理,不断前进的一生,是将毕生精力奉献给祖国,奉献给人民的一生.者。从“五四”运动直到1988年他生命终了的每个历史时期,始终怀有一颗强烈而诚挚的爱国心。他主张唤起民众,外争国权,内惩国贼,他写了大量爱憎分明的战斗檄文,揭露和抗议国民党的高压统治。解放后,他更以巨大的热情投入到各项社会活动之中。叶圣陶的一生,是自觉追随共产党,探求真理,不断前进的一生,是将毕生精力奉献给祖国,奉献给人民的一生。

故事二:鲁迅弃医从文

鲁迅(188l一1936),原名周树人,字豫才,浙江绍兴人。鲁迅青年时代受进化论思想影响,深为灾难深重的祖国命运担忧。1902年,二十一岁的鲁迅东渡日本,寻求救国的真理。在日本,他最初在东京弘文书院补习日语。此间他阅读了大量进步书籍,思想十分活跃,并积极参加反清活动,和当时以反清为目的、在东京组成的革命团体"光复会"的一些成员发生联系。1904年9月,鲁迅按照其通过医学救国的理想,进入仙台医学专门学校学习。他学习极为刻苦认真,深受他的老师藤野先生的赞许。

但是,鲁迅没有想到,他学习成绩优异,竟会引起一些日本学生的嫉妒。在这些日本学生眼里,中国留学生是"低能儿",是不能取得好成绩的。他们甚至认为,鲁迅所以每回考试都是好成绩,是因为老师把考题透露给了他。--他们看不起中国留学生,这使鲁迅的自尊心受到了很大刺激。

1905年学校里发生的另一件事,给鲁迅的刺激更大:一次上细菌课后放映纪录片,内容是宣传日本军国主义所谓战绩的。影片中有这样一组镜头,一个中国人被日本侵略者枪杀,而周围观看叫好的竟是一群中国人。当时,看这部影片舶只有鲁迅一个是中国人。看完影片之后,大家拍手欢呼。这影片、这掌声都深深地刺痛了鲁迅,他在数月内吃不好饭、睡不好觉,为此曾一个人走进深山里放声悲歌。他翻来覆去的苦苦思索:为什么有人对自己的同胞被杀害而无动于衷?他终于认识到:"医学并非一件紧要事,凡是愚弱的国民,即使体格如何健全,如何茁壮,也只能做毫无意义的示众材料和看客……第一要着,是在改变他们的精神。"由此,他毅然弃医从文(尽管他在医学上的学业已有成就),走上了用笔唤起中国人觉醒的道路。

对祖国对人民的深挚的热爱,促使鲁迅做出了弃医从文的抉择,这一抉择使中国乃至世界文坛更增添了若许光辉。

故事三:朱自清不领美国面粉

朱自清是清华大学教授,著名的文学家。抗日战争结束后,美国政府一方面支持蒋介石发动内战,一方面又利用签定条约的办法在中国获取了许多特权,还加紧武装战败国日本,对中国重新造成威胁。当时社会上物价飞涨,物品奇缺,很多人在饥饿和死亡线上挣扎。人民对美国和国民党政府十分不满,反抗的呼声越来越高。美国为了支持蒋介石,就运来一些面粉,说要“救济”中国人,好让中国人“感谢”美国,不反对它。

朱自清看透了美国的用心,认为美国的救济是对中国人的侮辱。他和一些学者一起,在一份宣言上庄重地签上了自己的名字。那份宣言表示,坚决拒绝美国的“援助”,不领美国的面粉。当时,朱自清正患严重的胃病,身体非常瘦弱,体重还不到40公斤,经常呕吐,甚至整夜不能入睡。拒领救济粉意味着每月生活费要减少600万法币,生活更加困难。可是为了维护中国的尊严,他坚决拒绝那些别有用心的“赏赐”。他在日记中写道:“坚信我的签名之举是正确的。因为反对美国武装日本的政策,要采取直接的行动,就不应逃避自己的责任。”

两个月后,朱自清因贫病交加,不幸去世。他宁肯挨饿而死,也不肯领带侮辱性的“救济”,表现了一个中国人应有的尊严。

篇2:海伦凯勒英语故事

全文共 6646 字

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.

篇4:名人故事:诸葛亮拜师

全文共 2489 字

诸葛亮八、九岁时,还不会说话,家里又穷,爹爹就让他在附近的山上放羊。

这山上有个道观,里边住个白发老道人。老道人每天都走出观门闲转,见了诸葛亮便逗他玩,比比划划地问这问那。诸葛亮总是乐呵呵地用手势一一回答。

老道人见诸葛亮聪明可爱,便给他治病,很快就把诸葛亮不会说话的病治好了。

诸葛亮会说话了。非常高兴,跑到道观向老道人拜谢。老道人说:“回家对你爹娘说,我要收下你当徒弟,教你记忆识字,学天文地理,阴阳八卦用兵的方法。你爹娘同意,就天天来学,不可一天旷课!”

从此,诸葛亮就拜这位老道人为师,风雨无阻,日不错影,天天上山求教。他聪明好学,专心致志,读书过目不忘,听讲一遍就记住了。老道人对他更加喜爱了。

转眼七、八年过去了。

再说,在这山腰间,有个“庵”,诸葛亮每天上山下山逗从这庵前经过。有一天,他下山走到这里,突然狂风大作,铺天盖地地下起雨来。诸葛亮忙到庵内避雨。一个从未见过的女子把他迎进屋里。只见这女子长得细眉大眼,油嫩丝白,娇娆仙姿,犹如仙女下凡。他不由心中一动:庵里有这样漂亮的女子呀!临走,那女子把诸葛亮送出门,笑着说:“今天我们算认识了,往后上山下山渴了累了来歇息用茶。”

打这以后,诸葛亮每到庵中来,那女子不仅殷勤接待,还盛情挽留,做好的饭菜。吃过饭他们不是说笑,就是下棋逗趣。与道观相比,这里真是另一个天地。诸葛亮被那女子的甜言蜜语弄得神魂颠倒!

诸葛亮思想出了岔,对学习倦了起来。他笑着从庵里出来,走进观里发愁,真是“出门欢喜进门愁,笑脸丢在门外头”。师父讲的他这个耳朵进去,从那个耳朵出来,印不到脑子上;书上写的,看一遍不知道说的啥,再看一遍还是记不住。

老道人看出了问题,把诸葛亮叫到跟前,长叹一声说:“毁树容易栽树难哪!我白下了这些年的功夫!”

诸葛亮听出来师父的话里有话,低着头说:“师父!不会辜负你的一片苦心!”

“这话现在我却不信。”老道人望着诸葛亮说:“我看你是个聪明的孩子,想教你成才,才治好你的哑病,收下你当徒弟。前些年你是聪明加勤奋,师父我苦心教你不觉得苦;现在你是由勤奋变懒惰,虽聪明也枉然哪!还说不辜负我一片苦心,我能相信吗?”

“师父!这些天我每睡好觉,头脑发昏。”诸葛亮怕说出真情,挨师父训斥,撒了个谎。

老道人说:“风不来,树不动;船不摇,水不浑。”说着,他指着庭院里被葛藤缠绕的一棵树让诸葛亮看:“你看那棵树为啥死不死活不活,不往上长呢?”

“让葛藤缠得太紧了!”

“对呀!树长在山上,石多土少,够苦的。但它根往下扎,枝往上长,不怕热,不怕冷,总是越长月大。可是葛藤紧紧一缠,它就长不上啊啦,这就叫‘树怕软藤缠’哪!”

聪明人一点就灵。诸葛亮看瞒不过师父,问道:“师父!你都知道啦?”

老道人说:“近水知鱼性,近山知鸟音。看你的神色,观你的行动,还能不知道你的心事吗?”停了一下 ,老道人郑重低说:“实话给你说了,你喜爱的那女子并不是人,它原是天宫一只仙鹤,只因贪嘴偷吃了王母娘娘的蟠桃,被打下天宫受苦。来到人间,它化作美女,不学无术,不事耕耘,只知寻欢作乐。你只看它貌美,岂不知乃是寝食而已。你与她相爱,吃喝玩乐,倒也逍遥,但这样浑浑僵僵下去,终身将一事无成啊!若不随她的意,还会伤害你。”

诸葛亮一听,慌忙问道:“师父!这会是真的吗?”

老道人说:“如果不信,随你的便吧,以后就别再登这观门啦!”

“师父!我相信。以后再不与她来往了!”

“这还不行。你要烧道她的画皮,也好消除你的疑虑,永不怀念。”

“怎样烧掉她的画皮,还请师父指教。”

“那仙鹤有个习惯,每晚子时要现原形,飞上天河洗澡。这时,你进她的房中,把她穿的衣裳烧掉。衣裳是她从天宫盗来的,一烧掉便不能化作美女了。”

诸葛亮答应按师父的吩咐去办。临行,老道人将一把龙头拐杖递给诸葛亮,说:“那仙鹤发现庵内起火,会立即从天河飞下来,见你烧了她的衣裳,必不与你甘休。如果伤害你时,你就用这拐杖去打,切记!”

这天晚上时,诸葛亮悄悄来到庵里,打开房门,果然见床上只有衣裳,不见有人。她他点火就去烧那衣裳。

仙鹤正在天河里洗澡,忽觉心头一颤,便急忙往下张望,发现庵内出现火光,“呼”地飞了下来。她见诸葛亮正烧她的衣裳,扑过来便啄诸葛亮的眼睛。诸葛亮眼疾手快,拿起拐杖,一下子把仙鹤打落在地。他伸手去抓,抓住了仙鹤的尾巴。仙鹤拼命挣脱,翅膀一扑一闪,又腾空飞去。结果仙鹤尾巴上的羽毛被诸葛亮抓掉了。

仙鹤秃了尾巴,便与天宫中的仙鹤个个不同。自己也知道丢脸现眼,再也不去天河里洗澡,也不敢再混进天宫去偷可以化作美女的衣裳,便永远留在人间,混进了白鹤群里。

诸葛亮拿这仙鹤羽毛去见师父。老道人说:“记住这个教训吧!要想学好本领,干一番事业,这色情之事千万不可迷恋!”诸葛亮不忘这个教训,把仙鹤尾巴上的羽毛保存起来,以此作为戒鉴。

打这以后,诸葛亮更加勤奋,凡师父讲的,书上写的,他都博学强记,心领神会,变成自己的东西。又过以年,正是诸葛亮烧美女化皮的那天,老道人笑着对诸葛亮说:“徒弟呀,你跟我已经九年了。该读的书都读了,我要传授的你都听了。常言道,师父领进门,修行在个人。你已年满十八岁了,该走出家门,干一番大事啦!”

诸葛亮一听师父说他“满师”啦,连忙恳求说:“师父,徒弟我越学越觉得学识浅薄,还要再跟你多学点本领!”

“真正的本领要在实干中才能得到,书上学来的,好要看天地万物变化,随时而转,随机应变,才有用啊!比如你上那仙鹤当的教训,以后不再被色情迷恋,这是直接的教训;推而广之,世上一切事物都不可被它的表像所迷惑,要小心谨慎从事,洞察其本质才是。这算是我临别的嘱咐吧!今天我就要走了。”

“师父,你往哪里去?”诸葛亮惊奇地问:“以后我到哪里看望您呀?”

“四海云游,没有定向。”

顿时,诸葛亮热泪滚滚,说道:“师父一定要走,请受徒弟一拜,以谢栽培大恩!”

诸葛亮躬身拜罢,抬头不见师父,再也寻不到他的踪影。

老道人临走,给诸葛亮留下一件东西,就是他后来常穿的八卦衣。

诸葛亮怀念师父,把师父的八卦衣穿在身上,只当师父永远在自己的身边。

Thetruest and most expressive thought was hardly be expressed.

Weall face it alone in silence to the most important thing in life. We can talkoccasionally about love, loneliness, happiness, miseries, death and so on, butthe true meaning is hard to deliver by words. I cannot tell others how gentlemy love is; how desperate my loneliness is; my enjoyable happiness is; howdepressive my miseries is; how ridiculous my death is. I have no choice but tohide then deeply in my heart. All what I said and wrote but the product ofthinking, while thinking, to some extend, is a kind of escape which from theparticular to general, fate to life and the abyss of silence to the bank oflanguage. If they have not become

pure/solely and abstract idea, it is merelybecause they have newly struggled out from the silence and with something hardto tell in their bodies.

Iam not to deny the possibility of communication between human beings, but

thecondition. It is silence, instead of words. 美特林克had an excellent explanation: the nature of silence tells the nature of one’ssoul. There is no any words may have a possibility to make a communicationbetween their soul if the two cannot share the same silence. To those who havenot solved the same questions in silence, even profound philosophy is only somepolite formulas. In fact, those superficial reader have no ability to identifythe profound philosophy and abstract thoughts, proverb and polite formulas,philosophy and 老生常谈, insipid/prosaic and commonplace,the knowledge of Buddha dharma and deceitful trick. One’s ability in wordscomprehension is based on his understanding to silence and eternally based onhis silence; that is his capacity of soul. Therefore, I insist that the lessonof one who is determined to seek the life philosophy is silence----to face hisimportant problem of sale in silence. Until he has enough accumulation and tootires to bear, all windows opened to him. This is the way that he not onlyunderstands the limited words, but also the unlimited information behind thesilence of words.

篇6:英语哲理故事长AttitudeisEverything

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don‘t get it! You can‘t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it‘s not that easy," I protested.

"Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It‘s your choice how you live life."

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I‘d be twins. Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.

"Weren‘t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He‘s a dead man. " I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,‘ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!‘ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

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。

篇10:行不言之教——诸葛亮的父教故事

全文共 611 字

+ 加入清单

在《诫外生书》中,诸葛亮把立志看作成才三要素(德、学、才)的基础和关键,他主张立志必须高远,才能克服前进道路上的种种困难,达到最终的成功。他写道:“夫志当存高远,慕先贤,绝情欲,弃疑滞,使庶几之志揭然,有所存,恻然有所感,忍屈伸,去细碎,广咨问,除嫌吝,虽有淹留,何损于美趣,何患于不济!”如果志向不高远、坚定,则会出现相反的后果:“若志一消费品毅,意不慷慨,徒碌碌滞于俗默默束于情,永窜伏于凡庸,不免于下流矣!”

诸葛亮不仅这么“诫子”、“诫外生”,而且身体力行,为儿孙做榜样。他对自己严格要求,虽贵为丞相,也绝不搞特殊,坚持“行不言之教”。他一生廉洁奉公,生活俭朴。他在给后主(刘禅)的表上写着:“成都有桑八百株,薄田十五顷,子弟衣食自有余饶。至于臣在外任,无别高度,随身衣食悉仰于官,不别治生,以长尺寸。”桃李不言,下自成蹊。诸葛亮这种廉洁的作风,对子孙是无形的教育,为后人树立了很好的榜样。

同时,他十分注意采取措施让子弟不搞特殊化。诸葛亮的哥哥诸葛瑾将独生子乔过继给诸葛亮。乔在蜀国官至驸马都尉,本当安居成都,但诸葛亮外出打仗,诸子弟都随军押运粮草,诸葛亮认为乔也应该与他们同甘共苦,于是便命乔与诸弟子一起押运粮草于山谷。这种做法对乔是一个很好的教育。不搞特殊化,让子弟在一种平等、和谐的环境中成长,有利于培养他们良好的人际关系,有助于培养他们较强的适应社会能力,对于培养他们不依赖他人、独立生存的顽强意志更有好处。

全文共 617 字

诸葛亮(181—234)是西蜀的丞相,他以神机妙算而闻名。他为子孙的打算,也是算计得比较久远的。他在给哥哥诸葛瑾的信中曾特意说到他的儿子诸葛瞻:“瞻今已八岁,聪慧可爱,嫌其早成,恐不为正器耳。”

诸葛亮担心的是:聪明过早外露,容易自满自足,反而成不了大器。所以他给诸葛瞻起的名字叫做“思远”。他给外甥的信也说:“志当存高远。”这都表明他希望后代有远大的理想和志向。

怎样才能有远大的志向呢?诸葛亮在给儿子的信中指出了两个条件:一个叫静,一个叫俭。他说:

“夫君子之行,静以修身,俭以养德,非澹泊无以明志,非宁静无以致远。夫学须静也,才须学也,非学无以广才,非志无以成学。淫慢则不能励精,险躁则不能治性。”

他认为人要有才,就要刻苦学习,要学习就要有志气。还要心静,心不静就不能专心治学。生活太舒适了,也容易分散精力,立不了大志。生活俭朴才是涵养道德的主要条件。

他在给外甥的信中进一步指出:要坚持自己的远大志向,“忍屈伸,去细碎,广咨问,除嫌吝。”这就是说,要不考虑一时的得失,不贪图生活上的享受,广交师友,不计较个人的恩怨,这样做了,“虽有淹留”也许一时不成功,“何损于美趣,何患于不济”。学习之中有乐趣,也一定会有用的。怕的是“志不强毅,意不慷慨,徒碌碌滞于俗,默默束于情”。受追求世俗的物质生活和情欲的影响,失去坚强的信心那就会“永窜伏于凡庸,不免于下流矣!”

可见,诸葛亮让子孙生活俭朴,是为了使他们更有出息,其眼光不能不说“超俗”远大!
