英语幽默故事比赛英语作文（汇总20篇）

被称为“幽默大师”的林语堂，一生着作甚丰，其中最畅销的是1937年完成的《生活的艺术》。该书在美国已经发行了40版以上，历经数十年不衰。

林语堂不但文章好，而且言谈风趣。有一次，纽约某林氏宗亲会邀请他演讲，希望借此宣扬林氏祖先的光荣事迹。这种演讲吃力不讨好，因为不说些夸赞祖先的话，同宗会失望，若是太过吹嘘，又有失学人风范。当时，他不慌不忙地上台说：“我们姓林的始祖，据说是有商朝的比干远相，这在《封神榜》里提到过，英勇的有《水浒传》里的林冲；旅行家有《镜花缘》里的林之洋，才女有《红楼梦》里的林黛玉。另外还有美国大总统林肯，独自驾飞机越大西洋的林白，可说人才辈出。”

林语堂这一段简短的精采演讲，令台下的宗亲雀跃万分，禁不住鼓掌叫好。

然而，我们细细体会他的话，就会发现他所谈的都是小说中虚构的人物，或是与林氏毫无关系的美国人，并没有对本姓祖先进行吹嘘，诚然幽默可喜，不愧为是中国的“幽默大师”。

林语堂以他对中国文化的研究蜚声海外。他的《吾国吾民》译成西班牙文后，他在南美的知名度也提得很高。当进，巴西有一位贵妇人，内心钦慕林语堂，恰好有人赠给名马一匹，于是给这匹马取名为林语堂。后来，这匹马参加马赛，巴西各报，都以大幅标题登出“林语堂参加竞赛”。比赛结束，这匹马没有得名次，当日晚报的标题就成了“林语堂名落孙山”，而夺标的马倒没有消息。

消息传到美国，有人将此事告诉林语堂，林语堂微微一笑，说：

“并不幽默。”

Snow-white

Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden-snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the hunts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.

The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white."

Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white.

But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child.

One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman.

A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queens room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Year went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all."

When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am."

Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.

After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her."

The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the Kings house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away.

Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, "I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me."

She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table, and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds.

The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water.

But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Mens bed. They said, "She is very beautiful."

Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid. The Little men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story.

They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in the hut with the seven Little Men.

After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queens servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest." The Queen was very angry when she heard that Snow-white was not dead.

The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?" Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said, "I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you will know that it is good."

Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When the powder was in her mouth, she fell down dead. The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. she looked into the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" The glass said, "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Then the Queen know that Snow-white was dead.

The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried. Then they put Snow-white in a box made of glass. They took the glass box to a hill and put it there, and said, "Everyone who goes by will see how beautiful she was." Then each Little Man put one white flower on the box, and they went away.

Just as they were going away, a Prince came by. He saw the glass box and said, "What is that?" Then he saw Snow-white in the box. He said, "She was very beautiful: but do not put her there. There is a hall in the garden of my fathers house. It is all made of white stone. We will take the glass box and put it in the hall of beautiful white stone."

The Little Men said, "Take her." Then the Prince told his servants to take up the box. They took up the box. Just then one of the servants fell down. The box fell, and Snow-white fell with the box. The bit of apple fell out of her mouth: she awoke, and sat up, and said, "Where am I?"

The Prince said, "You are with me. I never saw anyone as beautiful as you. Come with me and be my Queen."

The Prince married Snow-white, and she became his Queen.

A man went and told this to the bad Queen. When she heard it she was so angry that she fell down dead.

Snow-white lived and was very happy ever after. And the Little Men came to see her every year.

白雪公主

从前，有一个王后，她坐在窗户旁。窗外的花园里积满了雪，山上是雪，小路上是雪，树上和屋顶上也积着雪，万物一片白茫茫。她手中拿着些布和一枚针，她手中的不就像雪一样洁白。王后正在为小孩做一件上衣，她说：“我想我的孩子能够像这布一样白，想雪一样白，我要叫她白雪公主。”

几天之后，王后生了个小孩，这个孩子白得像雪一样，王后给她取名为“白雪公主”。但是，王后得了重病，几天以后就去世了。白雪公主活了下来，她是一个十分幸福和美丽的孩子。

王后去世一年以后，国王又娶了一位王后。新王后十分漂亮，但是，她不是一个善良的女人。一个巫师给了新王后一面镜子，这面镜子会说话，它挂在王后房间的墙上，每天王后照着镜子，欣赏自己多么漂亮。当她照镜子的时候，她问：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的人？”于是魔镜开口说道：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”

过了数年，白雪公主长成大人了。当白雪公主是一个年轻姑娘时，有一天，王后照着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的？”魔镜说：“白雪公主是世界上最漂亮的。”

当王后听到这些话时，非常恼怒，她说：“白雪公主没有我漂亮，没有一个人比我更漂亮。”然后，王后坐在床上哭了。一小时后，王后从她的房间走出来，她叫来一个仆人说：“把白雪公主带到森林中杀掉。”

仆人带着白雪公主到了森林，但他没有杀死她，因为她太美丽太善良了。他说：“我不会杀死你的，但是，你不能回王宫，因为，王后很生气，她会看到你的。如果王后发现你，她会让别人杀死你的。你就呆在森林里，会有朋友来帮助你的。”然后，他走了。

可怜的白雪公主坐在一棵树底下哭了，这时，她看到天快黑了，她说：“我不哭了，我要找所房子今晚好睡觉，我不能呆在这儿了，熊会吃了我的。”她往森林深处走去，这时，她发现了一座小屋，她打开小屋的门，走了进去。在小屋里，她看到七张小床，还有一张桌子，桌子上有七块小面包和七个小杯子。她吃了其中一块面包，然后说：“我想喝点水。”于是，她又喝了一个杯子中的一些水。之后，她躺在一张小床上睡着了。

这座小屋是七个小矮人的家。当天黑下来的时候，七个小矮人回到小屋。每个小矮人都留着一副大胡子，穿一件小蓝上衣。小矮人进了小屋，每个人都点上他们的小灯，然后，小矮人都坐下，开始吃面包，喝小杯里的水。

但是，一个小矮人说：“有人把我小面包吃了。”另一个小矮人说：“有人把我的小杯子里的水喝了。”然后，七个小矮人去睡觉。可是一个小矮人说：“有人正睡在我的小床上。”七个小矮人都过来看睡在小矮人床上的白雪公主。他们说：“她真漂亮。”

白雪公主醒了，发现七个留着大胡子的小矮人正站在她床旁，她很害怕。小矮人们说：“别害怕，我们是你的好朋友，告诉我们你是怎么来这儿的。”白雪公主说：“我告诉你们。”接着她就给他们讲述了自己的经历。他们说：“不要害怕。就在这儿和我们住在一起，但是，我们不在家的时候，你一定要关上门，千万别出去。如果你出去了，坏王后会发现你，这样，她知道你没有死，会让人来杀死你。”于是，白雪公主和七个小矮人在这座小屋里生活着。

几天以后，白雪公主去了一趟花园。王后的一个仆人正经过这片森林，他发现了阿。他回去告诉了王后：“白雪公主在森林的一座小屋里。”王后听说白雪公主没有死，十分恼火。

王后拿来一个苹果，她在苹果红的一边挖了一个洞，把一些毒的粉末放在这个洞里。然后，她穿上一身旧衣服，去了小屋。她喊：“屋里有人吗？”白雪公主打开门，出来见她。王后说：“我有一些漂亮的苹果，吃一个尝尝吧？”白雪公主拿着苹果说：“这好吃吗？”王后说：“瞧，我吃苹果白的一半，你吃红的一半，你会知道它味道不错。”白雪公主吃了苹果红的一半，当粉末进入她嘴里时，她倒下去死了。

王后回到家，进了自己的房间，对着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的。”魔镜说：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”于是，王后知道白雪公主已经死了。

小矮人们回到小屋，发现白雪公主死了。可怜的小矮人们全都哭了。然后，他们把白雪公主放进玻璃棺材里，并把它抬到山坡上，安放在那里，说：“每位经过这里的人都会看见她是多么美丽。”接着每个小矮人在棺材上放了一朵白花，然后离开了。

他们刚刚要离开，一位王子从此经过，他看着玻璃棺材说：“那是什么？”这时，他发现白雪公主躺在里面，他说：“她太美丽了，把能把她放在这里，在父亲的王宫里有一座大厅，整个大厅都是用白石头砌成，我们把玻璃棺材搬到那所漂亮的白石大厅里。”小矮人们说：“抬走她吧。”

然后，王子告诉他的仆人抬起棺材。他们抬起它时，不巧一个仆人跌倒了。把棺材也摔到地上，白雪公主随同棺材跌了下来，那块苹果从她嘴里掉了出来，她醒了过来，坐起来说：“我这是在哪儿？”王子说：“你跟我在一起，我从来没有见过一位像你这么美丽的人，跟我来，做我的王后吧。”王子和白雪公主结婚了，她成了王后。

一个人去把这些消息告诉了坏王后，当她听到这些，气得倒下死去了。从那以后，白雪公主一直生活得很幸福。每年小矮人们都来看她。

肖老师通知我参加讲故事比赛，我心里暗暗高兴，终于又可以上台了。我选了一个童话故事《三只小兔的远方》，在家里我反复背诵稿子，又多次讲给爸爸妈妈听，爸爸提醒我，讲故事要注意语速、声调，不能太快，要娓娓道来。我觉得自己足够熟练了，为上台做了充分的准备。

今天，终于要上台参加比赛了，我进入了五楼大厅，心里既紧张，又兴奋。我排在第17位出场，看他们表现得那么好，我越听越紧张，我能不能和他们一样好呢？马上要上场了，郑老师特地走过来为我打气，她说道：“一诺，要好好表现哦，加油！”

上台后，我心跳得更加快了，故事也越讲越快，讲到第三只小兔时，我突然一下子忘记了台词，脑海一片空白，这下完蛋了！我往台下一看，爸爸也十分着急，他用嘴型来提醒我，停顿了好几秒钟后，我又接着讲下去了。

这次讲故事比赛不是很成功，最终只遗憾地拿了三等奖。是因为我准备的还不够充分，上台锻炼太少了。希望下次我能好好表现。

13岁那年，我失去了父亲。是母亲拼命为我撑起了一片少雨的天空，使我顺利地完成了大学学业。

我幸运地被一家大企业录用，待遇很丰厚，在那里工作不到两年，爱神突然降临。深爱我的不是别人，是该企业负责人的儿子。

他仪表堂堂，英俊潇洒，又是重点大学毕业的，各方面都很优秀，我沉浸在恋爱的幸福之中。相处不到半年，他就向我提出了结婚的要求。

我们的婚礼在本市一家最大的酒店里举行。那天，我和他站在酒店门前，迎来了那么多的亲朋好友。一时间，客人们的祝福、赞誉声像潮水般涌来，使我如入梦境，真有点飘飘然的感觉。

婚宴开始前，有一个小小的仪式，那就是新郎新娘向双方父母行礼。当主持人告诉我们婚礼即将开始的时候，我看到母亲坐在大厅一个最不显眼的角落，穿戴和平常一样，满头白发。

我心想母亲也不好好打扮一下，这毕竟是女儿的婚礼啊!我后悔自己太忙而没有嘱咐母亲。母亲看上去态度很拘谨，好像手足无措的样子。跟男友父母比，相差实在太远了。

让母亲上台丢人现眼?不!我看着主持人，突然灵机一动，我走过去对主持人悄悄说：“我妈身体不好，怕吵，就别让她上前台了吧!”

主持人点点头后，宣布婚礼正式开始了，我们踏着婚礼进行曲，缓缓地走上前台，主持人请新郎父母上台，并说：“请新人向父母行礼，感谢他们多年的养育之恩。”

“养育之恩”这四个字，使我的心猛地一颤，望着台下的母亲，我看到她正在抹眼泪。虽然我心里好像有什么东西堵着，可转念又想，我是她的整个世界。我的幸福快乐，就是她的幸福快乐，她此时流的泪水，应该是高兴的泪水吧。

婚礼过后几天，母亲就恋恋不舍地离开了我们，走时眼里一直含着泪花。

半年后，我去参加同事菊的婚宴。当主持人请新郎新娘父母上台时，我一下子怔住了：我看见一位母亲坐着轮椅被人推上前台。主持人介绍：“这位是新娘的母亲。”

快言快语的菊接过麦克风：“今天是我一生中最幸福的时刻，我要让母亲跟我一起分享幸福。母亲虽然不能像正常人那样走路，但她为我献出了全部的爱。在我的心目中，她永远是伟大的母亲!”顿时，大厅内的掌声掩盖了一切。

就在这一瞬间，我的心像被针扎似的疼痛，想起自己半年前的婚礼，想起在婚礼上流泪的母亲……比起菊，我羞愧得无地自容，此时，我才明白，一时的虚荣，是何等的悲哀!

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, "Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."

有一次，卓别林带着一大笔现款走在路上。突然，从路旁草丛里跃出一个蒙面强盗。

强盗威胁着要卓别林交出钱款。卓别林答应了，并对他说：“请在我帽子上开两枪吧，我好回去向主人交代！”强盗“叭叭”两声，照他的话做了。“再在我的衣襟上开两枪吧！”卓别林又说。“叭叭”两声，强盗又照做了。“最后，请您再在我的裤腿上打两个洞，拜托了！”强盗一听，不耐烦地提起枪，又在裤腿上给了两枪。卓别林知道强盗的枪里再也没有子弹了，便一脚把他绊倒，飞也似地跑了。

In china, people believe that, at the beginning, the tiger and the cat were friends, and the cat was much smarter than the tiger .

The cat learned the physical skills quickly, and the tiger was always behind.    Gradually, the tiger had to learn from the cat, and the cat was patient to teach the tiger.     Day after day, month after month, finally, the tiger could also run, jump, roll, grasp, tear, and strike as well as the cat.   One summer afternoon, the cat was taking a nap as the tiger sitting nearby.   Looking at the cat, the tiger suddenly thought, why should he keep befriending with such a small animal since he had already learnt all the skills from the cat?    The evil tiger decided to kill the sleeping cat as a before dinner snack. The tiger stood up and approached the cat viciously.   Just as this moment, the cat woke up. Opening up her eyes, the smart cat immediately realized what the tiger was trying to do and swiftly jumped onto a nearby tall tree and climbed to the top branch.     The tiger thought he had already learned every skill from the cat . But he never knew that the cat had hidden the tree climbing from him.  “I kept the last technique of the tree climbing from you just because I suspected you might be can ungrateful friend.”The cat loudly told the tiger who watched under the tree helplessly.

里希纳的家靠近大海，村里祖祖辈辈都以打鱼为生。他从小跟随父亲出海，年纪不大就成了父亲的得力助手。可近来他却不务正业，迷上了打猎，简直无可救药，为这事他没少挨父亲的责备。

离村子不远有座小山，地势险要人迹罕至，听老人讲山上常有野猪出没。要是能打到一只野猪该有多好啊。山上的野猪令他魂牵梦萦，他下定决心要去碰碰运气。

那天天还没亮，里希纳瞒着父亲悄悄起床，带上枪、绳索等工具就上山了。他仔细搜寻着，可连野猪的影子也没看到。太阳已爬得老高，父亲还等着他出海，他无奈只好回家，带着一身的疲惫和沮丧。走到半山腰，隐约听到不远处传来微弱的叫声，像是野猪。他立刻兴奋起来，循着声音找去。

果然，一只小野猪陷在泥沼里，它已筋疲力尽，只剩头部露在外面，陷在那儿无法动弹，根本无法逃脱，眼神里充满了绝望。真是个冒失鬼，竟然掉到泥沼里，这是意外收获，里希纳喜出望外，迅速举起枪对准了野猪。

野猪当然不明白，那枝乌黑的枪对它意味着什么。它用尽最后一丝力气试图挣扎，眼睛直直地盯着面前的陌生人，发出兴奋的光芒，竟然把里希纳当成了救星。它在向我求救?里希纳端着枪犹豫了。

真是个小可怜!里希纳叹息着放下枪，转而想办法营救野猪。

要救野猪，首先得保证自身安全，如不小心掉进泥沼非常危险。惟一的办法，就是用绳子套住野猪的脖子，拉上来。他抛下绳子，好不容易套上了它的脖子，小心翼翼地往上拉。如果绳子勒得太紧，可能野猪还没救上来就先被勒死了。但它不懂配合，刚套上去又滑下来。经过反复努力，终于把野猪救了上来，不知不觉两个小时已经过去了。里希纳浑身沾满污泥，坐在地上大口喘气，开始思索如何应付父亲的责罚。

突然，远处传来轰隆巨响，天崩地裂一般。回头望去，十几米高的巨浪冲上海岸，铺天盖地而来，山下的村庄瞬间被吞噬。看着眼前发生的一切，里希纳惊恐万分，不停地颤抖着。

举世震惊的印度洋海啸中，他是全村惟一的幸存者。

这是真实的故事，里希纳住在印尼苏门答腊岛班达亚齐。他原本带着枪去打野猪，却为了救野猪耽搁了下山时间，幸运地逃过灭顶之灾。究竟是人救了动物，还是动物救了人，很难说清。里希纳得以大难不死实属巧合，可如果不救野猪，巧合会发生吗?

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！

陽朱到宋国，投宿在一家客栈里。店主人热情地接待陽朱，并向他介绍自己的家人。陽朱发现主人有两位小妾，一位长得亭亭玉立，楚楚动人，而另一位却相貌丑陋。偏偏令人不理解的是，店主宠 爱丑陋而轻贱漂亮。

陽朱怀着好奇心，想打听个究竟，便询问缘由。

“那个漂亮的自恃美貌却轻视他人，傲气的不得了，我越看她，越觉得丑；这位看似丑陋的心地善良，待人谦和，知情达理，令我越看越觉漂亮，我一点也不认为她不漂亮。”说到这里，正好漂亮的那位小妾昂首挺胸地走过来。主人连看都不看她一眼，对陽朱说：“瞧这德性，这模样，实在叫人生厌，她哪里知道什么叫美，什么为丑！”

陽朱在店主人的一番启发下，很受教育。他认为，外形固然很重要，品行却是更重要的标准。一个人若貌美再加上品格高尚，那就一定会受到人们的爱戴。若相貌不理想而心灵美，也会获得尊重。

对美与丑从来有两条标准：追求外在美，是表面的肤浅的；崇尚内在美，是本质的富有内涵的。

炫耀表面美，踞美自傲是浅薄的丑陋；自尊自爱谦逊待人是美的境界。表面美是暂时的，内在美是永恒的。

Long, long ago, a farmer thought the shoots in his fields were not growing fast enough. He wanted to help them.So he pulled every shoot up, then went home, feeling very tired but very satisfied. "Look, how great I an! I can think out such a good idea.From now on, my shoots will grow faster and faster," he thought. "I an very tired today," he said to his family, "Ive been helping the young shoots to grow."When his son heard this, he ran out to the fields to have a look.To his surprise, he found all the shoots weredead.

很久很久以前，一个农夫感觉他田里的幼苗长得不是很快，他想帮助它们。于是他就向上拔它们，然后回了家，虽然感觉很累但是却很满意。他默默地想：“瞧我多么的伟大，我能想出如此好的办法。从现在起，我的幼苗将会生长得越来越快。”于是他对家人说：“我今天累坏了，我在帮助幼苗生长。”当他的儿子听到这话，便匆忙跑到地里去看。让他吃惊的是，他发现所有的幼苗都死了。

一年一度的动物赛跑比赛开始了,参加这次赛跑的有德路犬波比、灰兔通瑞、波斯猫冬冬和小马达玲。

赛场上，到处都是观众，都快要挤到了跑道上。鸭子裁判宣布：“本次赛跑比赛的参赛的选手有：“波比、通瑞、冬冬和达玲。现在，比赛正式开始。”枪声刚响，波比就像风一样地冲出了起跑线，达玲紧追在其后，通瑞和冬冬并排跑。一会，达玲追不上了，落在了后面。通瑞和冬冬也追累了，速度越来越慢。波比扭头一看：“哈哈!一个也没追上，我休息一下再跑。”20分钟后，达玲追上来了，看见波比在睡大觉，就加快了速度，使劲向前奔去。波比还在睡，通瑞和冬冬也追上来了，见波比睡得香，也加快了速度。波比一觉醒来，看看后面:“咦?还没追上来，不管了，反正到终点我也是第一名。”他哪本文知道其实达玲、通瑞、冬冬已到终点了呀!波比到了终点一看，怎么他们已经到终点了?比赛结果出来了:“第一名达玲，并列第二名通瑞、冬冬，最后一名波比。”

比赛结束了，波比回到家，妈妈问他：“你拿了第几名?”“最后一名。”“最后一名?”狗妈妈简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。因为波比太骄傲了，所以拿了到数第一。

狗妈妈说：“谦虚使人进步，骄傲使人落后。”

山鸡天山美丽，浑身都披着五颜六色的羽毛，在陽光的照耀下熠熠生辉、鲜艳夺目，叫人赞叹不已。山鸡也很为这身华羽而自豪，非常怜惜自己的美丽。它在山间散步的时候，只要来到水边，瞧见水中自己的影子，它就会翩翩起舞，一边跳舞一边骄傲地欣赏水中倒映出的自己那绝世无双的舞姿。

魏武帝曹操当政的时候，有人从南方献给他一只山鸡。曹操十分高兴，召来了有名的乐工，为他奏起动听的曲子，好让山鸡跳舞歌唱。乐工卖力地又吹又打，可是山鸡却一点都不买账，充耳不闻，既不唱也不跳。曹操的手下人拿来美味的食物放在山鸡面前，山鸡连看都不看，无精打采地耷拉着脑袋走来走去。就这样，任凭大家想尽了办法，使尽了手段，始终都没办法逗得山鸡起舞。

曹操非常扫兴，气恼不已，斥责手下人说：“你们这么多人，连一只山鸡都对付不了，还怎么做大事！”

曹操有一位十分钟爱的小儿子，名字叫作曹冲。曹冲自幼聪明伶俐，又博览群书、见识渊博。这时候，他动了动脑子，有了主意，于是就走上前对曹操说：

“父王，儿臣听说山鸡一向为自己的羽毛感到骄傲，所以一见到水中有自己的倒影，就会跳起舞来欣赏自己的美丽。何不叫人搬一面大镜子来放在山鸡面前，这样山鸡顾影自怜，就会自动跳起舞来了。”

曹操听了拍手称妙，马上叫人将宫中最大的镜子抬过来，放在山鸡面前。

山鸡慢悠悠地踱到镜子跟前，一眼看到了自己无与伦比的丽影，比在水中看到的还要清晰得多。它先是拍打着翅膀冲着镜子里的自己激动地鸣叫了半天，然后就扭动身体、舒展步伐，翩翩起舞了。

山鸡迷人的舞姿让曹操看得呆了，连连击掌，赞叹不已，也忘了叫人把镜子抬走。

可怜的山鸡，对影自赏，不知疲倦，无休无止地在镜子前拼命地又唱又跳。最后，它终于耗尽了最后一点力气，倒在地上死去了。

山鸡的确美丽，但它的虚荣心也实在太强了，以致于受人愚弄。我们可不能让虚荣心、好胜心战胜了理智，否则就会遭到惨败。

席尔瓦先生和佩雷拉先生是非常要好的朋友。一个星期天晚上，他们在席尔瓦先生的寓所里喝啤酒。

这两位先生都未成家，所以他们各自雇了一个佣人为他们打理房子，有时候还可以替他们跑跑腿。

几杯啤酒下肚之后，他们便将谈论的话题转向了佣人。佩雷拉先生说，他的佣人班达应该算得上是全世界最愚蠢的佣人了。

“算了吧，你能证明班达比我的佣人忠达更愚蠢，我就誓不为人。”席尔瓦先生说。

“好的，我就证明给你看。”说着，佩雷拉先生把他的佣人叫了过来，交给他10个卢比，“班达，你拿着这些钱去大街拐角处那家汽车专卖店，给我买一辆汽车。”班达兴冲冲地走开了。

“佩雷拉先生，你看我的佣人多么愚蠢!”

“哼，你认为这就够愚蠢了?等一会你瞧瞧我的佣人吧。”席尔瓦先生叫来忠达，给了他两个卢比。“拿着这两个卢比，坐车到我办公室去找我秘书，问一下我是否在办公室里。”

“没问题，先生。”忠达拿着钱走出了大门。

佣人们走后，两位先生又争执起来，他们都极力让对方相信自己的佣人是世界上最愚蠢的。此时此刻，他们的佣人班达和忠达正在外面为他们奔波效力。在一个街角，两个佣人不期而遇。

“忠达，你看见了吧?”班达说，“我想我遇见的主人是世界上最愚蠢的。”

“不，班达，我的主人才是世界上最愚蠢的。”

“忠达，你看我的主人有多蠢，他刚才给了我10个卢比，叫我给他买一辆汽车!这个傻瓜，他不知道汽车经销店星期天不营业吗?”

“你认为这就够傻了?我的主人刚才给了我两个卢比，要我去他的办公室，看看他是否在那。这个傻瓜不知道，打个电话到他办公室问一下，只需要花费一个卢比，根本用不着给我两个。”

【哲理心得】：做事情找对方法才是最关键，不在其位不谋其政，不同领域的人有不同的工作方式，每一个人都是值得被尊重的。

1、父亲丢了块表，他抱怨着翻腾着四处寻找，可半天也找不到。等他出去了，儿子悄悄进屋，不一会找到了表。父亲问：怎么找到的？儿子说：我就安静的坐着，一会就能听到滴答滴答的声音，表就找到了。

我们越是焦躁的寻找，越找不到自己想要的，只有平静下来，才能听到内心的声音。

2、当玻璃杯中装满牛奶的时候，人们说：这是牛奶；当装满油的时候，人们又说：这是油。只有杯子空时，人们才看到杯子。

当我们心中装满学问、财富、权势、成就和偏见的时候，就不是自己了。往往拥有了一切，却不能拥有自己。

3、有一天，漂亮性感女同事的老公给她送午饭，没说话放下就走了！新来的男同事问：“那是谁？”她：“送外卖的。”问：“没给钱？”她：“不用给，晚上陪他睡一觉就好了。”

第二天，男同事为她带了四菜一汤的午饭……

商业模式不可简单的模仿，别人的模式一定有其前置的条件和准入标准，模式复制前一定要做到信息对称。

4、两只老虎，一只在笼子里，一只在荒野中。两只老虎都认为自己所处的环境不好，互相羡慕对方。

它们决定交换身份，开始时，十分快乐。但不久，两只老虎都死了：一只饥饿而死，一只忧郁而死。

有时，人们对自己的幸福熟视无睹，总是把眼睛看向别人的幸福。其实，你所拥有的正是别人所欣羡的。

5、一名士兵遭到敌军突袭后逃到了山洞。敌军在身后紧追，他躲在洞中祈祷不被敌人发现。突然胳膊被狠狠地蛰了一下，原来是只蜘蛛，他刚要捏死，突然心生怜悯，就放了它。

不料蜘蛛爬到洞口织了一张新网，敌军追到山洞见到完好的蜘蛛网，猜想洞中无人就走了。

很多时候，帮助别人同时也是在帮助自己。

6、老人对他的孩子说：“攥紧你的拳头，告诉我什么感觉？”孩子攥紧拳头：“有些累！”老人：“试着再用些力！”孩子：“更累了！有些憋气！”

老人：“那你就放开它！”孩子长出一气：“轻松多了！”老人：“当你感到累的时候，你攥得越紧就越累，放了它，就能释然许多！”

多简单的道理，放手才轻松！

7、一男子去买车，需要10万元，可男子只带了现金99998元，就差2元钱！突然，他发现门口有一个乞丐，就过去对乞丐说：“求你了，给我2元钱吧，我要买车！”乞丐听后，大方地拿出4元钱递给男子，说：“帮我也买一辆。”

如果你完成了九成以上的任务，那么任何人都可以轻而易举地助你成功，相反，你什么也不做的话，神仙也救不了你。

8、师父问：如果你要烧壶开水，生火到一半时发现柴不够，你该怎么办？有的弟子说赶快去找，有的说去借，有的说去买。师父说：为什么不把壶里的水倒掉一些呢？

世事总不能万般如意，有舍才有得。

9、有一个北京人，1984年为了圆出国梦，卖了鼓楼大街一个四合院的房子，凑了30万，背井离乡到意大利淘金……风餐雨宿，大雨送外卖，夜半学外语，在贫民区被抢7次被打3次……

辛苦节俭，如今已两鬓苍苍，30年了，终于攒下100万欧元（人民币745万），打算回国养老享受荣华。一回北京，发现当年卖掉的四合院现中介挂牌8000万，刹那间崩溃了……

或许，人一生多半是瞎忙……有些时候，选择比努力更重要！

10、百货公司的香水，95%都是水，只有5%不同，那是各家秘方。人也是这样，95%的东西基本相似，差别就是其中很关键性的5%，包括人的修养特色，人的快乐痛苦欲望。

香精要熬个五年、十年才加到香水里面去，人也是一样，要经过成长锻炼，才有自己独一无二的味道。

昨天，我们五年级进行了第五届的讲故事比赛。

我印象比较深的是《小猴子怕怕》、《三袋米的故事》、《少年岳飞》。

《小猴子怕怕》讲的是一条小猴子，它很胆小，取名怕怕，有一次，妈妈摔倒了，小猴子怕怕，自己爬树找松鼠医生，成了勇敢的小猴子。

《三袋米的故事》讲的是一个孩子家里很穷，到了他上高中的时候，每月都要交一袋米，他母亲按时交，但前两次熊师傅都说了，不要混合米。等到第三次，这位母亲说：“这是我去外村乞讨回来的。”熊师傅深受感动，校长得知后，免了这位孩子的学费。高考的时候，以627分的成绩考入清华大学。

《少年岳飞》讲的是岳家生了一个孩子，名叫岳飞，他从来不做伤天害理之事。长大，岳母问他：“我国有难，你打算怎么办？”“精忠报国。”之后，岳母在他背上刺了这四个字。

导读：哲理小故事能够引起小朋友们的兴趣，在看故事的同时也能从中学习到一些人生哲理，在外国也有许多的哲理小故事，下面小编为大家整理了一些短篇英语哲理小故事，希望大家能够喜欢。

一、THRIFT 节俭

There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.

I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

一个没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花像那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。

我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。

二、PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍

Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.

Our National Father, Dr.  , is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.

不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。

我们国父是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。诞生了。

三、WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush... as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。

很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

四、Whale 鲸鱼

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said,“When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”

The teacher asked,“What if Jonah went to hell?”

The little girl replied,“Then you ask him.”

一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。

她的老师说：“一头鲸鱼从身体构造的角度看，是不可能吞掉一个人的。因为尽管鲸鱼是一种非常巨大的哺乳动物，可它的嗓子非常小。”

那个小女孩说：“约拿(一位西伯来先知)就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。”

她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”

那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”

她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办?”

那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”

Before I went to middle school, I lived with my grandparents. At that time,

I stayed in the country, which was the most beautiful place for me. Early in the

morning, I walked along the country road, appreciating the fresh air. We raised

a little dog. He was my best friend, and he accompanied me all the time. No

matter what I did and where I went, the little dog was with me and I loved him

so much. Sometimes I would pick up the fruit in the garden, sometimes I would

catch the fish in the clear river. It was such a happy childhood for me that I

will never forget.

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.
