英语幽默故事比赛英语作文（汇总20篇）

Human growth is a process of experimentation， trial， and error ultimately leading to wisdom。 Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action， you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out。 Sometimes you are victorious， and sometimes you become disillusioned。

The failed experiments， however， are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful； in fact， you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success"。

If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations， you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong—doer。 However， perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame， and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming。 Therefore， forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself。

Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt。 There are four kinds of forgiveness。

The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself。

The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another。

The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself。 This is for serious transgressions， the ones you carry with deep shame when you do soimething that violates your own values and ethics， you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior。 In such a case， you need to work very hard at forgiving youeself for these deeds so that yo call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself。

This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourselfor not feel regret or remorse； but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy， and punishing yourself excessively will only creats a bigger gap between you and your ethics。

The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another。 At some time of our life， you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible。 However， harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victim hood。 Under such a circumstance， you should force yourself to see the bigger picture， by so doing， you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment。

It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory。 when you can finally release the situation， you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth。

足球是世界上最流行的球类运动。现在越来越多韵人喜欢看足球比赛，当他们的球队参加比赛的时候，他们可以废寝忘食地为他们的队员加油。我认为自从中国足协建立以来，许多中国足球的比赛踢得一场比一场好了。但是我们的足球要冲出亚洲、奔向世界还有很长的路要走。我们应该向国外的球队学习，邀请一些外国的运动员和教练到我们中间来。大连万达、上海申花、广东太阳神都是最出色的球队。

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！

今天，我们五年级进行了英华好少年杯讲故事比赛。

主持人站在台上，宣布讲故事比赛的开始。我们个个喜气洋洋，心里有说不尽的开心。故事都是关于温良恭俭让的，可是，有一个故事我始终不能忘记。

那个故事是五（7）班的杨云涵讲的，名字叫做《三袋米的故事》，为什么它让我难忘呢？那是因为，这个故事使我哭了两次，当然是感动哭的。当时我忍不住想：“这个故事那么感人，一定会得个高分的。”我猜测的没错，她的故事得了第一名。因为我跟杨云涵是朋友，所以后来我得知，那天她是带着病去的。

我们班曲姿谕讲的是《注视的眼睛》，也让我感到很难忘。不过，评委却给了她很少的分，我认为她不应该只获这一点分。她那么深的情感，那么优美的语调，很令人对她刮目相看。

两节课的时间，我们的讲故事比赛结束了，希望下一次的讲故事比赛快点来。

英语寓言小故事：The Wolf and the Lamba

Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."

"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

狼和小羊

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」

小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.

One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.

He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him. He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.

"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."

从前，有个守财奴将他的金块埋到一棵树下，每周他都去把他挖出来看看。

一天晚上，一个小偷挖走了所有的金块。 守财奴再来查看时，发现除了一个空洞什么都没有了。

守财奴便捶胸痛哭。哭声引来了邻居，他告诉他们这里原来有他的金块。

问明了原因后，一个邻居问："你使用过这些金块吗?" "没用过，" 他说，"我只是时常来看看。""那么，以后再来看这个洞，"邻居说，"就像以前有金块时一样。"

Covering Ones Ears While Stealing a Bell

掩耳盗铃

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

things.[/en]

王先生总以为自己很聪明，实际上他总干傻事。

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

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

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

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

【成语来源】

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

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

But the bell was too big for him.

可是钟又大又重，怎么也挪不动。

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

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

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

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

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

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

导语：红红的眼睛白白的毛，短短的尾巴长耳朵，身披一件白皮袄，走起路来轻轻跳。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

【参考译文】

一天，小灰兔在小白兔家和小白兔玩，玩了一会儿，小白兔的妈妈叫小白兔去买菜，小灰兔便自己在小白兔家玩。小灰兔看见小白兔的桌子上有一个橡皮，那个橡皮很漂亮，也很香。小灰兔想要，可又怕小白兔不愿意，就把橡皮带回了家。小白兔回到家，发现自己心爱的橡皮不见了，就去问小灰兔：“你有没有拿我的橡皮?”小灰兔骗小白兔：“我没有拿，你自己再找一找吧!”小白兔失望的走了，她在家里找了很久也没找到，就以为是自己不小心弄丢了。小灰兔又在小猴子家里偷走了拼图，在大象家偷走了木偶。

过了几天，小白兔，小猴子和大象在一起玩。玩了一会，小白兔说：“我的橡皮不见了，我怀疑有小偷。”小猴子立刻说：“我也觉得，我也不见了拼图。”大象说：“我也不见了木偶。”小白兔说：“我们去找小灰兔玩吧!”大象和小白兔，小猴子到了小灰兔家后，发现自己被偷的东西都在小灰兔家，它们立刻明白了偷东西的是小灰兔。它们便把自己东西拿回去，再也不理小灰兔了。

动物园里，大人指着笼子里的猴子，对小孩说：“你知道这种动物叫什么名字吗?”

“不知道。”小孩看着上蹿下跳的猴子回答。

“记住，孩子，”大人说，“这种动物叫猴，是专门供咱们人类开心的。”

“何以见得呢?”小孩问。

“不信你瞧——”大人说着，从提包中摸出一颗花生，朝笼子里的大猴背后扔去，只见大猴急转身，略一迟疑，却用嘴接住，然后再用爪子从嘴里取出来，剥开吃掉，显得很滑稽。

小孩笑起来，说：“真有意思!”

大人也被大猴的举动逗得很开心，便来了兴致，又将另一颗花生扔进去，还是扔向大猴身后的地方，大猴故技重演，转身，跳起来用嘴接住，用爪子取出剥开，放进嘴里。

大人受了鼓舞，便不断地扔，大猴便不断地这样接，接住吃掉，或给身边的小猴。

直到一大包花生全部扔完了，大人和小孩才恋恋不舍地离开。

路上，小孩问大人：“你为什么将花生扔到大猴的背后呢?”

大人得意地笑了，说：“猴子翻来覆去地来回折腾才有意思啊?”

小孩信服地说：“爸爸你真行!”

大人又说：“猴子这种动物自以为挺聪明，其实被咱们耍了，它还不知道呢，真可悲!”

动物园里，大猴指着笼子外的人，对小猴说：“你知道这种动物叫什么名字吗?

“不知道。”小猴望着指手画脚的人回答。

“记住，孩子，”大猴说，“这种动物叫人，是专门供咱们猴子开心的。”

“何以见得呢?”小猴问。

“不信你瞧——”这时，适逢有个大人往笼子里扔花生，扔向大猴背后，大猴急转身，略一思忖，用嘴去接住，然后再用爪子从嘴里取出，剥开吃掉，显得很滑稽。终于，那大人的一大包花生全部扔给了猴子。

他们走后，小猴问大猴：“你为什么用嘴去接扔进来的花生?”

大猴得意地笑了，说：“如果我用爪子去接，他们还会继续扔吗?”

小猴信服地说：“妈妈你真行。”

大猴又说：“人这种动物自以为挺聪明，其实被咱耍了，他们还不知道呢，真可悲!”

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。

20xx年的一天，红星美凯龙集团董事长车建新，乘车外出办事，当车在一个红绿灯的路口停了下时，恰巧停在他前面的是一辆卡车。卡车上有两个木匠扶着两套家具，面朝向他，其中有一个木匠和他年龄相仿，大概也是40岁左右，而且长得和车建新还有点像。车建新坐在奔驰车里看着他，他也看着车窗里的车建新。

当时，车建新很有感触："我要是不努力的话，今天肯定也会和卡车上的这个木匠一样。"回想自己一路走来的艰辛和努力，感慨道："我的奋斗是值得的。"

车建新的奋斗偶像是乔布斯，为了领会乔布斯的奋斗精髓，车建新还曾模拟过一次乔布斯的演讲，还模拟了他经典的一句话："我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我钟爱无比。"然后车建新坐在下面，乔布斯看着他，他看着乔布斯。车建新当时就想，和乔布斯相比，也许可以说他比我多活了520xx年。

故事的哲理

很多人说努力去做事让人太痛苦了，其实把努力变成挑战才是幸福。努力是为了追求成功，是在实践中成就自己，有了这种认知，人就不会有痛苦。一旦人们意识到，努力是在为了实践自我成就感，或者实践自己的爱好时，还会痛苦吗？肯定不会。

一只小象出门旅行，在路上碰到了同样旅行的小猪。小象看着小猪，忍不住哈哈大笑着说：你的鼻子那么短，真是太好笑了，太差劲了，哈哈。小猪反驳道：笑个P啊，你鼻子那么长，就象脸上长个J8似的，还笑呢。两个小家伙互相嘲笑着前行，继续他们的旅行路程。他们来到了一颗苹果树前，又红又大的苹果挂满了树冠膨大的苹果树。两只小家伙不禁口水横流，垂涎三尺。小象来到树下，用他的长鼻子轻松地将苹果击落下来。于是两只小家伙开开心心地吃起来。小猪边吃边说：原来你的鼻子也不是那么讨厌嘛，嘿嘿。吃完苹果，他们继续前行。走着走着，他们来到了一块番薯地。小猪说：看我的。说完，小猪用他的鼻子去拱地，拱啊拱啊，把埋在地下的番薯都拱了出来。于是两只小家伙开开心心地吃起来。小象边吃边说：原来你的鼻子也不是那么差劲嘛，哈哈。

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.

For individual competitions, it is necessary to take serious treatment, and more importantly, to practice more, so that it will not be unfamiliar.

Highly Talented

Tsau Pi and Tsau Jr were sons of Tsau Tsau. Both were very gifted writers, and Tsau Jr was especially quick-witted.

After Tsau Tsaus death, Tsau Pi took over the throne of the kingdom of wei. Jealous of Tsau Jrs literary ability, and afraid that he might cause problems, Tsau Pi was always looking for a way to kill his brother.

One day, Tsau Pi called Tsau Jr into see him.He ordered his brother to make up a poem within the time it took to walk seven steps, adding that if he could not, his life would be in danger.

Greatly saddened, Tsau Jr began to walk and to think. Before he had taken the seven steps, he had already finished his poem, the meaning of which was: "Brothers are of the same family, so why should the oppress each other?"

Tsau Jr was very intelligent and loved to study. He wrote many outstanding articles which showed his artistic talent and earned him the admiration of many people. One scholar said of him: "Heaven gave the world ten decalitres of talent, and Tsau Jr alone has eight of them."

Today, to say that a person "has eight decalitres of talent" is to say that he has a great aptitude for writing.

才高八斗

曹丕与曹植都是曹操的儿子，二者均有才华，特别是曹植更具文采。

在曹操，死后，曹丕继任大统，但他嫉妒曹植的才华，同时也惧怕曹植回谋反，所以一直在伺机杀害曹植。

有一天，曹丕要求接见曹植，他要求曹植在他七步之内作诗一首，如果做不到，就会有生命危险。

悲愤之下，曹植急中生智，作出七步诗，是的意思就是“本来就是亲兄弟，为什么要这样步步紧逼，伤及感情？”

曹植文采俱佳，热爱学习，他曾做过不少才华横溢的文赋，均令世人感叹不已。曾有一位学者说道：“如若天下文采共有十斗，曹植一人独占八斗。”

今天，如果我们说一个人“才高八斗”，就是指他“才华横溢，很有文采”。

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。

这天，村长穆拉发现他的毛驴不见了，找遍了整个村子，也没找着。穆拉垂头丧气地坐在大门口不停地叹气。这时，两个邻居路过他家，见状，忙问穆拉怎么啦？

“我的毛驴不知道跑哪撒野去了！”穆拉气呼呼地说，“等它回来，我一卢比就把它卖掉！”

话刚说完，前方就响起了驴子的蹄声。穆拉抬头望去，只见一个男孩骑着一头毛驴慢悠悠而来，那头毛驴正是穆拉家的。

就在这时，两个邻居都掏出了一卢比，要买村长的毛驴。

“我刚才是说着玩儿的！”穆拉说。

“穆拉，你是村长，可不能食言。要不，传出去，大伙从此都不会信任你。”两人说。

邻居的话说中了穆拉的要害。是呀，要是他食言，下届村长选举就没有人再选他了。但他实在不愿意一个卢比就把毛驴卖掉，于是就说：“这样吧，为了向大家证明我是个守信的人，我们星期六在牲畜市场上碰面。到时，我当众将驴子出售。”邻居答应了。

星期六很快到了，穆拉牵着他的毛驴就站在牲畜市场的入口处。让大家惊奇的是，毛驴的尾巴上系着一根绳子，绳子的另一端系着一只猫。

“村长，这只猫怎么回事呀？”有人问道。

穆拉一笑，说道：“我将遵守诺言，以一个卢比的价钱卖掉我的毛驴。但是，我有个条件。我的毛驴和猫是好朋友，它们已相处多年，谁也离不开谁。哪位要买我的毛驴，也必须买下我的猫。”

“那么，你的猫要卖多少钱？”有人问。

“乡亲们，这些年来，我的猫捉了无数的老鼠。它可是一个英雄，身价自然要高些──一万卢比。”

大家都笑了，谁会花一万卢比买一只猫呢？

导语：根据中国的历法，农历八月在秋季中间，为秋季的第二个月，称为“仲秋”，而八月十五又在“仲秋”之中，所以称“中秋”。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

the mid-autumn festival has all interesting history. long ago in one of the dynasties of china there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not manage the country well. the people were so angry that some brave ones suggested killing the king. so they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes. on the 15th day of the 8th luna month every person was told to buy the cakes. when they ate them they discovered the notes. so they gathered together to make a sudden attack on the king. from then on the chinese people celebrate on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat "moon cakes" in memory of that important event.

when the mid-autumn festival is near, shop windows are beautifully decorated. many "moon cakes" are displayed for people to buy. peopl send presents such aswine, fruits and "moon cakes" to their friends and relatives. in the evening of the day, they have a feast. after the feast, they go out to the garden to look at the moon. the children run and laugh on the streets.

it is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. many poems have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing such poems. in chinese literature, the moon of the mid autumn festival has been compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. it seems that chinese literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

中秋节有着有趣的历史。很久以前在一个朝代的中国有一个国王谁是非常残忍的人，并没有管理好国家。人们非常愤怒，一些勇敢的人建议杀死国王。所以他们写了关于会议地点和时间的笔记，并把它们放进蛋糕里。在第八个月的第十五天每个人都被告知买蛋糕。当他们吃他们发现的笔记。于是他们聚集在一起，突然袭击王。从此，中国人在第八个月的第十五天庆祝“吃月饼”，纪念这一重大事件。

中秋节临近时，商店的橱窗装饰得很漂亮。许多“月饼”展示给人们购买。人们发出了这样aswine，水果和“月饼”给他们的朋友和亲戚。在一天的晚上，他们有一个盛宴。宴会结束后，他们到花园去看月亮。孩子们在街上奔跑和欢笑。

人们相信月亮在她最明亮的夜晚。许多诗都是这样写的，诗人从不厌倦读和写这样的诗。在中国文学中，中秋节的月亮被比作一只玻璃，一只玉兔，等等。看来中国文学对月球的兴趣远远超过太阳。

After the tortoise than the rabbit said, proud of all the animals do not post. Some people say it, it is proud to say: "even the legs of rabbits but I have run, what do you count?" Rabbit unconvinced everyday practice run, a decision(再跟)turtle Yijuecixiong. Training for a few days, rabbits in the "Forest Journal," to the war on the turtle. Turtle accepted. Unwittingly race that day, turtles and rabbits are standing on the starting line. With the "bang" sound of rabbits and turtles are out of the starting line, and soon, the rabbit would Shuaixia the tortoise, the lead. Rabbit Bozhaobozhao suddenly heard shouting "help" the sound of a rabbit stopped, only a small Lark fell into the sea, has been quick to die, rabbits think: not refusing. Will not hesitate to jump into the river, although the river is not deep, fast-flowing, rabbits will not waterborne, it can only small Lark difficult to travel to.

It so happened that can run from waterborne the tortoise, rabbit busy shouting: "turtle, Come Back on the Skylark."

Once I saw the TV show, it was about the fathers and their kids having the match, they were separated by five groups and compete for the match. At first, they were competing happily, but as the game came to the end, the last group was so worried. The father inspired his kid to stick on and finish the match, while the kid was crying because he knew he must be the last. After the match, the father told his kid that winning was not the most important thing for the match, the first thing was to enjoy the game and finish it, the result was not that important. I agree with the father, the child must be endowed with the consciousness that to enjoy the game is more important than to win. Every match can only have one win, but we can enjoy every match.

曾经我看到一个电视节目，那是关于爸爸和孩子在比赛，他们分成五个组，在进行比赛。一开始，他们比得很开心，但是随着比赛来到结尾，最后的那组显得很着急。爸爸鼓励他的孩子坚持完成比赛，然而孩子却在哭泣，因为他知道他肯定是最后一名。比赛过后，爸爸告诉孩子，对于比赛来说，赢不是最重要的，最重要的是享受比赛，并且完成它，结果也不是那么的重要。我同意那位爸爸的话，孩子必须要有这样的意识，享受比赛比赢得比赛更为重要。每个比赛只有一个赢家，但是我们可以享受每场比赛。

一只美丽的天鹅有一天落在地上时，看见了一只健壮的鸭子，她立刻被这只帅气的鸭子所打动，她惊诧于鸭子不一样于她同类的模样，不一样于她同类气质，是那么的有型，那么的另类。

于是，天鹅向鸭子证明了爱意。受宠若惊的鸭子立刻理解了这份爱。从此，天鹅与鸭子在土地上生活着，在泥塘边生活着。天鹅那高贵而雪白的羽毛一天天被污脏了;天鹅那以前不会长期行走的美丽小脚红肿了;天鹅失去了云彩的抚摩，蓝天的洗涤。天鹅最后忍不住了，她总是在说：鸭子，鸭子，你学习飞翔啊，那我们就能够一齐在高空中比翼双飞了。鸭子为了天鹅而发奋学习飞翔，可惜他只是一只鸭子，想要飞翔，想要飞到和天鹅飞翔一样的高度实在是太难了，他实在是没有毅力了，于是他放下了。

鸭子说：天鹅，你抓住我，带我去飞吧。天鹅抓住鸭子，扇动翅膀，十分十分吃力地飞上了蓝天，在天上飞了一会儿就落地了。鸭子笑了，鸭子觉得天上风景太美了，鸭子想爱上了天鹅真是好。在那之后的日子里，鸭子每一天都要求天鹅带他飞上天，而且要求飞翔的时刻也越来越长，如果天鹅不能到达要求他就会生气。疲惫的天鹅正因爱着鸭子，虽然身心俱疲，却依然会答应鸭子的要求。这一天，鸭子又让天鹅带他去飞上蓝天，天鹅勉强抓住鸭子飞上了，飞得很高，很高，很高，然后天鹅低下头深深地吻了鸭子，就在鸭子感觉诧异的时候，天鹅松开了抓住鸭子的手……

这个故事告诉我们：做人要懂得知足，美女愿意让你上就很好了，千万不好要求太高，不好天天想上！这个故事还告诉我们：公主爱上穷小子的故事并非没有，只是结局未必会那么完美。无论如何，阶级总是存在的，门当户对未必就是坏观念。攀上一个富家女确实会令你生活质量提高，但并不代表你能够免于奋斗。富家女会让你飞得很高，但也会让你死得很惨。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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