英语幽默故事比赛英语作文(推荐20篇)

这个故事后来变成成语“日暮途穷”，比喻处境十分困难，力量用尽了，计策没有了。

The Day Is Waning and the Road Is Ending

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Ping of Chu was misled by slanderers, and had Wu Zixu"s father executed. Wu Zixu fled to the State of Wu. More than then years later, Wu Zixu took his revenge by helping. Wu conquer Chu. Yet he suffered agonies of remorse, because his countrymen called him a traitor. He protested, "I"m just like a traveller. It"s already late, but I still have a long way to go. I simply dont know what to do."

This idiom comes from the above story. It means being in a very difficult situation at the end of one"s tether.

一位老和尚，他身边聚拢着一帮虔诚的弟子。这一天，他嘱咐弟子每人去南山打一担柴回来。弟子们匆匆行至离山不远的河边，人人目瞪口呆。只见洪水从山上奔泻而下，无论如何也休想渡河打柴了。无功而返，弟子们都有些垂头丧气。唯独一个小和尚与师傅坦然相对。师傅问其故，小和尚从怀中掏出一个苹果，递给师傅说，过不了河，打不了柴，见河边有棵苹果树，我就顺手把树上唯一的一个苹果摘来了。后来，这位小和尚成了师傅的衣钵传人。

世上有走不完的路，也有过不了的河。过不了的河掉头而回，也是一种智慧。但真正的智慧还要在河边做一件事情：放飞思想的风筝，摘下一个“苹果”。历览古今，抱定这样一种生活信念的人，最终都实现了人生的突围和超越。

三只蚊子待在一个黑暗的角落里，它们一心在等待夜晚降临，好去吸人们的血。等了很久，天还没有黑下来。它们不耐烦，就开始叽叽咕咕，互相诉起苦来了。它们共同的朋友，陰影，它自己说它是一个最喜欢沉思，最不喜欢参加政治活动的学者，在一旁静静地听着。

第一只蚊子抱怨说，世界越变越坏，脏水坑越来越少，蚊子们不能繁殖后代。如果再这样发展下去，不论什么样的蚊子都会绝种了，多么可怕啊！

陰影听了，忍不住也跟着叹了一口气。

第二只蚊子抱怨说：人们越来越没有良心了，对蚊子们太残酷，简直不讲“蚊道主义”。证明人们有偏见，这是一切蚊类都不能忍受的。

陰影听了，忍不住又叹了一口气。

第三只蚊子一开口就回忆起过去来了。它这一段话用的词儿比较文雅。它说它曾经费了很多宝贵的时间，对各种人的血都做过比较和研究，它能鉴别各种人血的滋味。它最欣赏的是孩子们的血液。因为孩子们喜欢吃糖，它们的血中带点难以形容的甜味，显然比成人 们的血是高出一等的。

“学者”陰影虽然并不真正研究学问，但它对“研究”、“比较”和“鉴别”这一类字眼还是感到兴趣的，这时候它止不住发出了赞叹的呼声。

第三只蚊子的话还没有说完，第一只蚊子和第二只蚊子马上都回忆起自己过去所吃过的丰美的人血的味道来，感觉饿得不得了。它们都愤愤不平地大声吵嚷起来。

第一只蚊子叫：“人们不让我们吸血，证明他们思想狭隘，证明他们有教条主义！”

第二只蚊子用比第一只蚊子更大的声音叫：“他们反对我们吸血，明明就是限制我们的自由。他们是自由和民主的敌人！”

第三只蚊子用比第二只蚊子更大的声音叫：“我们再也不能忍受了！”

于是三只蚊子一起喊：“为了自由，我们要马上行动起来！……”

这时候，陰影替它们感到担心，连忙提醒它们：“嘘！亲爱的朋友们，你们讲得很好，可是要小声一点，小心一点！”

可是晚了，蚊子们的吵嚷已经引起了人们的注意。突然间，一阵滴滴涕的薄雾弥漫开了。陰影马上不做声了。三只蚊子惊惶失措地飞了起来。

第一只蚊子惊慌地叫：“敌人，敌人，敌人！”

第二只蚊子还强作镇定，说：“没关系！别害怕！”

第三只蚊子疯狂地喊叫：“冲啊，冲啊！我们决不妥协，决不投降，决不屈服！”

三只蚊子乱喊乱叫，乱冲乱撞，没多大会儿工夫，他们一个个都坠落 下去了。

墙角里立刻又归于寂静。

陰影感伤地叹了一口气：“连几只蚊子都不能容了，多么可怕的现实啊！幸亏刚才我没有多说话，它们没有注意我，暂时还是少开口为妙。”

于是，它就又假装“研究”起它那些永恒的“学问”来了，仿佛刚才什么事情都没有发生一样。

“英华好少年杯”第四界讲故事比赛开始了。我们都非常的紧张。一个，两个，三个……到我准备了，这么快！我带主席台一测握着拳头，紧张的跺着脚。

我紧张的上了台，开始讲了起来。我讲的故事名字叫《一个美丽的故事》，故事的大概内容是这样的：有一个小男孩儿，成绩不引人注目。一次，他写了一篇作文，作文里写到：他有两个愿望。第一个是希望他的妈妈每天都夸她聪明，第二个是希望他的老师每天都说“其实，你一点儿也不笨。”然后在小男孩妈妈生日那天，小男孩把作文本拿给了妈妈看。

我每天在练习背这篇故事的时候，总觉得特别感动。我觉得小男孩虽然成绩不好，但是仍有学习的上进心，而且懂得怎样感恩父母，做一个尊敬老师，体贴父母的好孩子。做一个人见人爱的好孩子。即便他是一个塌鼻子的小男孩，但是他不怕别人窥见他，他专心学习，不受外界干扰，让他们爱说什么就说什么吧！

我觉得我应该向故事里的那个小男孩学习，因为他给我的印象最深，事迹更美好。

前不久，德国一家电视台提出高薪，征集“十秒钟惊险镜头”活动。许多新闻工作者为此趋之若鹜，征集活动一时成为人们关注的焦点。在诸多参赛作品，一个名叫“卧倒”的镜头以绝对的优势夺得了冠军。 拍摄这10秒钟镜头的作者是一位名不见经传刚刚踏入工作岗位的年轻人，对于这个作品，每个人都渴望一睹为快。 几个星期以后，获奖作品在电视的强档栏目中播出。

那天晚上，大部分人都坐在电视前边观看了这组镜头，最初是等待、好奇或者议论纷纷， 10秒钟后，每一双眼睛里都是泪水。 可以毫不夸张地说，德国在那10秒钟后足足肃静了10分钟。

镜头是这样的： 在一个火车站，一个扳道工正走向自己的岗位，去为一队徐徐而来的火车扳动道岔。这时在铁轨的另一头，还有一列火车从相反的方向近车站。假如他不及时扳岔，两列火车必定相撞。

这时，他无意中回过头一看，发现自己的儿子正在铁轨那一端玩耍，而那列开始进站的火车就行驶在这条铁轨上。是抢救儿子，还是扳道避免一场灾难──他可以选择的时间太少了。那一刻，他威严地朝儿子喊了声“卧倒！” 同，冲过去扳动了道岔。 一眨眼的工夫，这列火车进入了预定的轨道。 那一边，火车也呼啸而过。 车上的旅客丝毫不知道，他们的生命曾经千钧一发，他们也丝毫不知道，一个小生命卧倒在铁轨边上──火车在轰鸣着驶过孩子丝毫未伤。那一幕刚好被一个从此经过的记者摄入镜头中。 人们猜测，那个扳道工一定是一个非常优秀的人。

后来，人们才渐渐知道，那个扳道工是一个普普通通的人。 他唯一的优点是忠于职守，没误工过一秒钟。而更让人意想不到的是，他的儿子是一个弱智儿童。

他告诉记者，他曾一遍一遍地告诉儿子说：“你长大后能干的工作太少了，你必须有一样是出色的。” 儿子听不懂父亲的话，依然傻呼呼的，但在生命攸关的那一秒钟，他却“卧倒 ”了── 这就是他在跟父亲玩打仗游戏时，唯一听懂，并做得最出色的动作。

二（6）班徐康淇

今天下午，我们学校二年级段，在六楼大教室举行了讲故事比赛。

上台讲故事的同学都讲得很棒。我觉得讲的最精彩的是黄星皓的《我的幸运一天》。黄星皓左手拿着狐狸右手拿着小猪，他一边讲着故事，一边用手里的布偶做动作。他的声音真好听，同学们都听得入迷。故事里的小猪真聪明。他讲了好多道理，让狐狸不要吃它。到最后狐狸还要为小猪按摩。这个故事让我明白了，只要动脑筋，再强大的敌人也会被打倒。

还有一位同学讲的也不错，她是丁星妤，她讲的是《驼背小龙虾》。丁星妤的故事特别有趣，逗得同学们哈哈大笑。

我坐在下面听着同学们讲故事，心想：如果我也能上台给大家讲一个故事，那该多好啊！

2019年5月6日星期一晴

一壮小伙牵了一价值百万的纯种藏獒出来遛弯。逢人便炫耀狗好，人要是没个四五百斤力量的拽都拽不住。

这时候看路边一秃顶老头，身边还坐一只毛都快要掉光了的狗。他的藏獒对那狗一顿嚎叫，那老狗理都没理藏獒。

小伙不乐意了。说道：老头，你那狗那么大，是什么狗啊？咱俩的狗斗一下？你的狗输了给我500，我的藏獒输了给你20xx。

老头说：我正愁我的`老伙计下个月伙食呢！要不赌大点？我的狗输了给你五万，你输了给我三万。

小伙马上火了：我这是纯种藏獒。别说我没告诉你。赌了！

俩狗交锋没两分钟，藏獒败下来，再也不敢嚎叫。

小伙拿了三万块钱，郁闷至极：大爷，你那是什么狗？怎么能这么猛？

老头边点钱边说：我也不知道现在它算啥狗，没掉毛以前是叫狮子！

小伙哭笑不得！！！

任何时候都不要炫耀，保持低调！低调！再低调！你炫耀什么，说明你缺什么，真正拥有实力的人，往往处于平静祥和的状态，就像那位老人和那条"老狗"，只是淡定从容地存在着。

你已经是狮子了，何须证明？何须炫耀？

人生在世，不是用来和别人比较的。

活出最伟大的自己，做出最伟大的贡献。

有一天，西域来了一个经商的人将珠宝拿到集市上出售。这些珠宝琳琅满目，全都价值不菲。特别是其中有一颗名叫“珊”（shan）的宝珠更是引人注目。它的颜色纯正赤红，就像是朱红色的樱桃一般，直径有一寸，价值高达数十万钱以上，引来了许多人围观，大家都啧啧称奇，赞叹道：“这可真是宝贝啊！”

恰好龙门子这天也来逛集市，见了好多人围着什么议论纷纷，便也带着弟子挤进了人群。龙门子仔仔细细地瞧了瞧宝珠，开口问道：“珊可以拿来填饱肚子吗？”商人回答说：“不行。”龙门子又问：“那它可以治病吗？”商人又回答说：“不行。”龙门子接着问：“那能够驱除灾祸吗？”商人还是回答：“不能。”“那能使人孝悌吗？”回答仍是“不能”。龙门子说道：“真奇怪，这颗珠子什么用都没有，价钱却超过了数十万，这是为什么呢？”商人告诉他：“这是因为它产在很远很远没有人烟的地方，要动用大量的人力物力，历经不少艰险，吃不少苦头，好不容易才能得到它，它是非常稀罕的宝贝啊！”龙门子听了，只是笑了一笑，什么也没说便离开了。

龙门子的弟子郑渊对老师的问话很不解，不禁向他请教。龙门子便教导他说：“古人曾经说过，黄金虽然是重宝，但是人生吞了它就会死，就是它的粉末掉进人的眼睛里也会致瞎。我已经很久不去追求这些宝贝了，但是我身上也有贵重的宝贝，它的价值绝不只值数十万，而且水不能淹没它，火也烧毁不了它，风吹日晒全都丝毫无法损坏它。用它可以使天下安定；不用它则可以使我自身舒适安然。人们对这样的至宝不知道朝夕去追求，却把寻求珠宝当作唯一要紧的事，这岂不是舍近求远吗？看来人心已死了很久了！”

龙门子所说的“至宝”，就是指人们自身的美德。只有高尚的道德品质、完美的精神生活，才是真正值得人们去追求的无价之宝。

This is aWormwhose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps forthe reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usuallyhabited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜 of moss plants.Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 littleXC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压 making inexperiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no troubleat all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerfulenough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性 and the rice ready to eat.

凤凰城著名演说家罗伯特说：我发现幽默具有一种把年龄变为心理状态的力量，而不是生理状态的。他还有另外一句著名的妙语：青春永驻的秘诀是谎报年龄。他70岁生日时，有很多朋友来看望他，其中有人劝他戴上帽子，因为他头顶秃了。罗伯特回答说：你不知道光着秃头有多好，我是第一个知道下雨的人!

幽默能让世人笑口常开，从而能从一种乐观向上的生活态度中获得幸福的感觉。

有这样一则故事：

在一个小山村里，有一对残疾夫妇，女人双腿瘫痪，男人双目失明。春夏秋冬：播种、管理、收获一年四季，女人用眼睛观察世界，男人用双腿丈量生活。时光如水，却始终没有冲刷掉洋溢在他们脸上的幸福。

有人问他们为什么如此幸福时，他们异口同声地反问：我们为什么不幸福呢？男人笑着说：我双目失明，才能完全拥有我妻子的眼睛！女人也微笑着说：我双腿瘫痪，我才完全拥有他的双腿啊！

这就是幸福，一种乐观豁达的胸怀，一种左右逢源的幽默人生佳境！

拥有了这种胸怀和这种境界，心灵就犹如有了源头的活水，我们就能用心灵的眼睛去发现幸福，发现美。在我们眼中，姹紫嫣红、草长莺飞是美的；大漠孤烟、长河落日也是美的；我们甚至可以用心领会到留得残荷听雨声、菊残犹有傲霜枝的优美意境。

这就是乐观，这就是幸福

如果我们像那对夫妇一样，抱着这种乐观的生活态度，去发现幽默，发现幸福，我们必然能生活在欢声笑语中。下面是一个相关的名人幽默故事：

美国第26位总统西奥多?罗斯福（1858~1919）有一次许多东西被偷了。他的朋友写信安慰他，他在给朋友回信中说：谢谢你来信安慰我，我现在很平静。这要感谢上帝，因为：第一，贼偷去的是我的东西，而没有偷去我的生命。第二，贼只是偷去了我一部分东西，而不是全部。第三，最值得庆幸的是：做贼的是他，而不是我。

欢乐和笑声是人们生活中必备的良药，它使人们总能保持一种乐观的生活态度。只要幽默存在，就能使人放松心情，而唯有贤者才能在任何情况下都保持宽松的心境。

拥有乐观的人生态度是幸福的支柱。而幸福是乐观要抵达的目的地，要想使自己幸福，就要首先具备乐观的精神，幽默的心态。

生活是多姿多彩的，关键是你用什么样的眼光来看待它。拥有一个正确的视角，你会发现生活原来如此美好。

上个星期五下午，我们304班举行了讲成语故事比赛，班上共有20位同学参赛。为体现公平，贺老师特地请来了方何文浩、沈博、李博、陈奕萌的妈妈来当评委。

首先，小主持人章文昊走上讲台，给我们介绍了比赛目的和评分细则。当章文昊说：“有请一号选手吴卓凡上台，二号选手阮铭轩准备。”同学们就依次上台将自己精心准备好的故事讲了出来。有的讲得很流利，还加了自编的动作；有的讲得结结巴巴，紧张得手都不知道往哪儿放了。

终于到我了，我紧张地走上讲台，敬了个队礼，大声说道：“敬爱的老师、家长们，亲爱的同学们，我今天要讲的故事是《磨杵成针》。李白，是我国唐代著名浪漫主义诗人……”讲的时候，由于紧张，我停顿了几次。讲完了，我又敬了个队礼，长吁一口气，轻松地走下台，坐到座位上，等主持人报我的成绩。当听到自己只得了8。925分时，我心里很失望……

经过两节课的激烈比赛和那些妈妈评委们的公正评分，比赛结果很快出来了。贺老师即时公布了获奖的等次。当我听到张婷婷二等奖时，心里特别开心，觉得这几天的努力没有白费。

I am a girl who loves life, is positive, optimistic and conscientious. In the study and life of high school, I not only learned a lot of knowledge, but also improved in all aspects. In the face of difficulties, I never go back, always start my mind, try to solve the problem and overcome the difficulties. And every solution to a problem, to overcome a difficulty, all of my confidence has been promoted. I believe that as long as there is enough confidence and double efforts, we will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and difficulties and lead to the other side of success. In the course of high school learning, I can take every course seriously, preview carefully, and review actively. When you have a problem, ask your classmates and consult your teacher. I will constantly improve the learning methods, find the most suitable learning methods, adjust the study plan, and arrange the time. I think of learning as a knowledge, to enrich my music, and to be full of interest in it.

I like music very much. I actively participate in chorus in school. In chorus team, we cooperate with each other, and compete for school, get excellent results, and win honor for school. And I am also very good at playing the guzheng, and I have won national awards. Through participating in the school choir, I deeply realized that doing anything requires not only enthusiasm, but also the spirit of conscientious and responsible and the spirit of cooperation with others. For individual competitions, it is necessary to take serious treatment, and more importantly, to practice more, so that it will not be unfamiliar.

When we are chatting with our friends happily, suddenly if we are talking

about the awkward topic, we need to do something to change this situation, what

are we gonna do? The answer is using your humor to make things seem easy, and

then your friends won’t take your awkward topic seriously. Humor is very

important, it can adjust the atmosphere, making things work easily. Life needs

humor, without humor, life would be boring. Foreign people like to make friends

with humorous people, they can feel relax when they are chatting, while most

Chinese people are always taking things too seriously. I like to make friends

with humorous guys, they make me feel life is easy, and we should positive about

life.

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。

二（6）班宋彦瑾

今天下午，我们早早地来到学校里，因为要举行讲故事比赛。这次我们班有三个同学参加比赛。我激动极了，真想听听大家讲的都是什么有趣的故事！

到了六楼的比赛大厅，我们按顺序坐好，等待着比赛开始。比赛快要开始了，大家都紧张得不会呼吸了，整个大厅里鸦雀无声。

轮到我们的同学丁星妤上台了。丁星妤化了浓浓的妆，橘红色的眼影，造型都快让我认不出她了。但是她一脸镇定，丝毫没有紧张，我真佩服她呀！她给我们讲了一个《驼背小龙虾》。她一开口讲，我就被深深地迷住了。随着她绘声绘色的讲述，我的眼前浮现出了一只活灵活现的小龙虾，它有灵活的八条腿，整天喜欢嘲笑别人。有一次它遇见了一只大海螺，整天嘲笑大海螺，终于受到了很大的教训，变成了一只驼背小龙虾。我看了看旁边的同学，大家都听得入迷了，都痴痴地看着她。

她讲述得太精彩了！她一定会赢的！

过了一会儿，比赛终于结束了。我的屁股都坐痛了，但是我觉得屁股痛还是值得的，我听了这么多有趣的故事！

2019年5月6日星期一晴

在一棵大树上，住着一只八哥。它每天都在那儿用非常圆润的歌喉，唱着悦耳的曲子。

初夏的早晨，当八哥正要唱歌的时候，忽然听见了一阵震耳欲聋的嘶叫声，它仔细一看，在那最高的树枝上，贴着一只蝉，它一秒钟也不停地发出“知了——知了——知了——”的叫声，好像喊救命似的。八哥跳到它的旁边，问它：“喂，你一早起来在喊什么呀？”蝉停止了叫喊，看见是八哥，就笑着说：“原来是同行啊，我正在唱歌呀。”八哥问它：“你歌唱什么呢？叫人听起来挺悲哀的，有什么不幸的事发生了么？”蝉回答说：“你的表现力比你的理解力要强，我唱的是关于早晨的歌，那一片美丽的朝霞，使我看了不禁兴奋得要歌唱起来。”八哥点点头，看见蝉又在抖动起翅膀，发出了声音，态度很严肃，它知道要劝蝉停止，是没有希望的，就飞到另外的树上唱歌去了。

中午的时候，八哥回到那棵大树上，它听见那只蝉仍旧在那儿歌唱，那“知了——知了——知了——”的喊声，比早晨更响。八哥还是笑着问它：“现在朝霞早已不见了，你在唱什么呀？”蝉回答说：“太陽晒得我心里发闷，我是在唱热呀。”八哥说：“这倒还差不多，人们只要一听到你的歌，就会觉得更热。”蝉以为这是对它的赞美，就越发起劲地唱起来。八哥只好再飞到别的地方去。

傍晚了，八哥又回来了，那只蝉还是在唱！

八哥说：“现在热气已经没有了。”

蝉说：“我看见了太陽下山的奇景，兴奋极了，所以唱着歌，欢送太陽。”一说完，它又继续着唱，好像怕太陽一走到山的那边，就会听不见它的歌声似的。

八哥说：“你真勤勉。”

蝉说：“我总好像没有唱够似的，我的同行，你要是愿意听，我可以唱一支夜曲——当月亮上升的时候。”

八哥说：“你不觉得辛苦么？”

蝉说：“我是爱歌唱的，只是歌唱着，我才觉得快乐。”

八哥说：“你整天都不停，究竟唱些什么呀？”

蝉说：“我唱了许多歌，天气变化了，唱的歌也就不同了。”

八哥说：“但是，我在早上、中午、傍晚，听你唱的是同一的歌。”

蝉说：“我的心情是不同的，我的歌也是不同的。”

八哥说：“你可能是缺乏表达情绪的必要的训练。”

蝉说：“不，人们说我能在同一的曲子里表达不同的情绪。”

八哥说：“也可能是缺乏天赋的东西，艺术没有天赋是不行的。”

蝉说：“我生来就具备了最好的嗓子，我可以一口气唱很久也不会变调。”

八哥说：“我说句老实话，我一听见你的歌，就觉得厌烦极了，原因就是它没有变化；没有变化，再好的歌也会叫人厌烦的。你的不肯休息，已使我害怕，明天我要搬家了。”

蝉说：“那真是太好了。”说完，它又“知了——知了——知了——”地唱起来了。

这时候，月亮也上升了……

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。

More than 1,800 people were injured when the magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck on Sunday.

云南周日发生6.1级地震，导致1800余人受伤。

Attempts to reach the epicentre have been hampered by heavy rain, with some rescuers forced to travel on foot.

救援队因暴雨受阻，只能徒步前往震中。

State broadcaster CCTV said the earthquake was the strongest to hit the mountainous province in 14 years.

中国国家电视台CCTV称，云南多山，此次地震是14年来云南省内最强的一次地震。

President Xi Jinping called for "all-out efforts" to find survivors as he dispatched soldiers to the area.

国家主席习近平在向灾区派兵的同时还作出指示，要将救人放在第一位。

They joined more than 300 police and firefighters from Zhaotong and about 400 emergency workers and sniffer dogs from across Yunnan province in the rescue operation.

参与救援行动的还有300余名昭通的武警公安和消防官兵，以及云南省派出的400名救灾人员和搜救犬。

But rescuers trying to deliver the much-needed supplies are struggling to reach the area, reports the BBCs Celia Hatton in Beijing.

但据BBC驻北京记者西莉亚·哈顿报道，搜救人员无法很快将应急物资送往震中。

Unrelenting rain and continuing landslides have left many roads in the region too damaged to use, she adds.

她补充说道，持续的暴雨和山体滑坡导致前往灾区的多个路段受阻。

Premier Li Keqiang has travelled to the area to oversee the rescue operation. And he had to walk for "over three miles" (5km) to reach the worst-hit village in Yunnan on Monday.

周一，中国国务院总理李克强赴云南视察灾情时需徒步“3英里多”(5千米)才能走到受灾最严重的村镇。

A spokesman for UN chief Ban Ki-moon said the secretary-general was "saddened by the loss of life".

联合国秘书长潘基文的发言人称，秘书长对云南地震造成人员伤亡表示悲痛。

South-west China lies in an area that is prone to earthquakes.

中国西南地区处于地震多发带。

An earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 killed tens of thousands of people while a magnitude 7.7 quake in Yunnan in 1970 killed at least 15,000.

2008年四川地震导致几万人遇难，1970年云南7.7级地震遇难人数超过1.5万人。

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.

熊和狐狸

一只熊在夸耀自己的仁慈，便说道：“所有的动物中，只有熊对人最仁爱，它很敬重人，连人的尸体，也不去碰一下。”

一只狐狸听到这些话，微笑地对熊说：“那就请你吃死人吧，别再生吃活人了。”

中国现代著名学者胡适是属兔子的，他的夫人江冬秀是属老虎的，胡适常开玩笑说：“兔子怕老虎。”当时就流传了胡适怕老婆的笑话。

有一次，巴黎的朋友寄给胡适十几个法国的古铜币，因钱有“PTT”三个宇母，读起来谐音正巧为怕太太”。胡适与几个怕太太的朋友开玩笑说：“如果成立一个怕太太协会’，这些铜币正好用来做会员的证章。”

胡适经常到大学里去讲演。有一次，在某大学，讲演中他常引用

孔子、孟子、孙中山先生的话。引用时，他就在黑板上写：“孔说”，“孟说”，“孙说”。

最后，他发现自己的意见时，竟引起了哄堂大笑，原来他写的是：“胡说”。

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。
