用英语讲好中国故事的英语作文（精选20篇）

3月1日清晨，天水市张家川回族自治县张川镇袁川村73岁的治安户长杨盘文就来到村委会，等待和社区民警一起进村入户排查务工返乡人员信息，这是他抗击疫情的第37天。杨盘文是张家川县年龄最大的治安户长，自天水市新冠肺炎疫情防控阻击战打响以来，白发苍苍的杨盘文积极参与到疫情防控工作中，以实际行动践行着一名老共产党员的担当。

1月27日，农历正月初三，天刚蒙蒙亮，杨盘文就赶到村委会参加村里的疫情防控工作部署会。依照张家川县的安排部署，餐馆、宾馆、网吧、电影院等所有营业场所都要暂时关停，社区民警需带领治安户长逐门逐户排摸通知，考虑到杨盘文年龄大，社区民警安排他在村委会留守，但杨盘文却坚持前往一线参与巡查。

从那天开始，杨盘文就始终坚守在疫情防控第一线。他每天徒步或骑着电动车穿梭于村委会和村口的防疫检查点之间，白天配合社区民警入户核查务工返乡人员信息，开展疫情防范知识宣传，晚上回到村委会将排摸的数据及相关资料进行整理，并反馈在“治安户长工作平台”上。每当社区民警和其他户长劝他休息一下时，他总是笑着说：“我回去也闲不住，大家都在为抗击疫情忙碌，我不能因为年龄大而影响工作。”

1月23日，抗击疫情第一天，村里有一对从武汉回到袁川村的夫妇，得知情况后，杨盘文立即联系社区民警、镇干部、村卫生员一同上门。刚开始，这对夫妇对来访的人非常排斥，认为大过年的派出所找上门，打扰了自己的生活，就是不开门。杨盘文和大家站在大门口，隔着门宣传疫情防控的相关政策，经过一个多小时苦口婆心地劝说，这家人终于打开了门。此后，杨盘文每天和村干部、医务人员上门为他们测量体温、询问是否需要代购生活用品等，把关爱送到了村民的心坎上。

连日来，这样的“闭门羹”杨盘文和社区民警不知道吃了多少次，每当遇到群众情绪激动不配合、怀疑或害怕病毒传染不肯开门时，杨盘文都耐心解释，哪怕隔着门，也要想方设法争取群众的理解，将劝说工作做到位。

“干了30多年的村委会工作，咋样的事情都经历过，村民之间的矛盾多数是鸡毛蒜皮的小事，用心去化解，才能让当事人心服口服。疫情防控的工作也是一样，大家齐心协力，才能早日战胜疫情。”杨盘文说。

“他像老黄牛一样默默奉献，从不计较个人得失，让我们看到了一名老党员的党性和信仰，在这次疫情防控工作中，意志坚强、不甘落后、可敬可赞，值得我们学习。”张家川县张川镇袁川村党支部书记马少军说。

这位73岁的老党员治安户长每天依旧在防控疫情的一线，做力所能及的事，贡献自己的光和热。

Handan was the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period.

邯郸，是战国时期赵国的首都。

A young man in the State of Yan heard that the State of Zhao was more powerful than the State of Yan, so he was much interested in the State of Zhao. Consequently, he crossed over mountain after mountain by himself and got to Handan.

燕国有个青年听说赵国比燕国强大，对赵国很感兴趣。于是，他一个人翻山越岭，来到了邯郸。

Upon arrival at Handan, he felt that the State of Zhao was indeed more stable than the State of Yan. Even the way of walking of the people of the State of Zhao looked better than that of the people of the State of Yan. He made up his mind to learn how the people of the State of Zhao walked in Handan, so that in the future the people of the State of Yan could walk as gracefully as them.

到了邯郸，他觉得赵国确实比燕国安定，连赵国人走路的姿势都比燕国人好看。他决定在邯郸学会赵国人走路，将来让燕国人走路也能像赵国人一样好看。

Yet, that was easier said than done. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to learn the gait of the people of the State of Zhao. On the contrary, he even forgot completely how he walked in the State of Yan. In the end, he had no alternative but to crawl back from the State of Zhao to the State of Yan.

可是，说起来容易做起来难。这个青年怎么学也没有学会赵国人走路的姿势，反而连自己在燕国时如何走路也忘得干干净净。最后，池没有办法，只好爬着离开赵国回燕国去了。

Li Ling was a great general during the time of emperor Han Wu-di (hàn wǔ dì汉武帝). He was a very good fighter, and he won every battle.

One time, however, Li Lings troops were so hopelessly outnumbered by the Huns that although they fought bravely, the whole army was soon taken captive.

Li Ling shamefully surrendered for the moment, planning to wait for an opportunity to strike back.

But when news of the surrender reached the capital, the emperors jealous ministers began to degrade Li Ling in front of the emperor.

What he heard made the emperor so angry that he had Li Lings wife and mother put to death.

Ze-ma Chian, who had always respected Li Ling, believed that he wouldnt surrender without a reason, and urged the emperor not to believe rumors.

Sz-ma Chian then wrote a long letter to a friend, saying, "I am now in the middle of writing a history book. If I die, it will be as if one ox in a group on nine were to lose a single hair. I am willing to withstand punishment in order to complete this book." Sz-ma Chian finally did finish his book - the very famous Shr-Ji.

This time, the emperor grew angry at Sz-ma Chian, and locking him up, punished him severely.

西汉时代有个很有名的大将军名叫李陵，他骁勇善战，百战百赢。

有一次，虽然李陵的军队奋勇杀敌，因为兵力不足而战败投降。

李陵打算暂时先忍辱投降，以便伺机等待机会反击。

但当李陵投降的消息传到首都，皇上身边嫉妒的大臣们都开始指责李陵。

皇上十分气愤，他将李陵的妻子与母亲都赐死了。

司马迁一直很敬重李陵，他不信李陵会无缘无故投降，便谏言皇上不要听信谣言。

但就因为这样，皇上便迁怒司马迁，并将他囚禁，进行严惩。

司马迁随后写了一封长信给他的朋友，说道：“我现在在写一部历史长篇，如果我死了，就如同九牛一毛般微不足道，但我愿意承受住这般的惩罚，来完成这部书。”最终，司马迁完成了这部名流千古的史学著作——《史记》。

王兰兰，女，50岁，昆明爱心食堂创办人，云南省昆明市五华区幸福家园小区“爱心食堂”负责人。

十年前，王兰兰女儿因病去世，她一度在悲痛中不能自拔，但发现女儿“我要成为一名慈善家”的遗愿后，她化悲痛为力量，从此她投身到社会公益事业中。王兰兰下岗后靠政府低保补助和打零工为生，但她相信慈善不仅仅是富人的事。

2012年，王兰兰发现身边小区内有很多独居老人，吃饭是一大难题，有了开办爱心食堂的想法。爱心食堂每天向老人提供午餐和晚餐，每餐3元，有的老人连这个价格也承受不了，他们就免费。

三年来，爱心食堂为60岁以上的孤寡老人提供中餐和晚餐，每餐有一荤两素一汤，每餐收3元钱，按当地物价，实际每餐成本5.5元，差额部分均来源于社会资助。2015年，爱心食堂运转困难，这个小区的8位大姐也加入到爱心食堂的义工队伍，她们没有工资，和王兰兰一起免费为老人们做饭、洗衣、陪护。周边学校、部分公益组织也会定期组织志愿者前来食堂帮忙，为食堂义工减轻部分工作负担。

公元105年，中常侍(侍从皇帝的官员)、尚方令(负责朝政的官员)蔡伦奏请东汉和帝准予将他的造纸术向民间推广，他还挑选出挺括良好的纸，进献给汉和帝。汉和帝试用以后，非常满意，当场赞扬了蔡伦的这一创造发明，同时立刻下令把这个造纸技术推广开去。

从此，中国的造纸技术进入了先进的行列。在此之前，商朝把汉字刻在龟甲兽骨上，但是甲骨的来源很有限，而且不便携带、保存，所以人们后来把汉字刻在简牍上。简和牍是用竹片或木片做成的，狭长的称“简”，略宽的称“牍”。由于一片简只能刻几个字，因此写一篇文章就要用许多简，写完之后人们再用绳子把简串起来，成为“册”。虽然做简牍的材料遍地都是，但是它们也太笨重了，据说秦始皇每天批阅用简牍写的奏折重达一石(约五十斤左右)。后来人们用丝帛作为书写材料，它柔软轻便，易于书写，可惜量少价高，这一致命弱点使它难于推广使用。

在京城洛阳的皇宫里当官的蔡伦，当时主管监督制造宫中用的各种器物。他非常聪明，很会动脑子，经常和工匠们一起研究制作工艺。蔡伦看到皇帝每天要批阅堆成小山般的简牍，非常不方便，他就琢磨着要制作出一种轻便易用的书写材料，来取代笨重的简牍。

对于新的书写材料，蔡伦的第一个要求是轻便。因此用竹、木制成的简牍首先被排除在外，而丝帛倒是符合的，可惜原材料稀少。于是，蔡伦仔细观察了丝帛的生产过程，从分析丝帛的结构入手，发现它是由纤细的短纤维互相粘成的。于是，他把新材料定位在结构与丝帛相似、取材容易、价格低廉，从此时时处处留意着、寻觅着这种新材料。

有一天，蔡伦和几个小太监来到城外游玩。这是一个十分幽静的山谷，一条小溪潺潺流过，溪边垂柳依依，景色宜人。

小太监们一路打打闹闹，嘻嘻哈哈，十分快活，惟独蔡伦心事重重，东张西望。忽然，他两眼一亮，快步走到溪边，蹲着不动了。

小太监们觉得非常奇怪，都围拢过来。只见蔡伦手里捧着湿湿的、破破烂烂的、像棉絮一样薄薄的东西发呆。

一个小太监忍不住说：“我还以为是什么好东西呢，原来是这破玩意儿!快扔了吧!”

蔡伦却仿佛什么也没听见，仍然痴痴地捧着。

那个小太监一个箭步走上去，抓起那棉絮一样的东西就要往水里扔。

蔡伦突然醒过来似的，紧紧抓着不放，嘴里喃喃地说：“找到了，找到了!”

小太监们都糊涂了，这蔡伦莫不是疯了、傻了，怎么把这破烂玩意儿当宝贝似的?

蔡伦双手捧着，三步并作两步，问河边的农夫：“老人家，这东西是怎么形成的?”

农夫笑着回答说：“这个呀，是漂在河里的树皮、烂麻、破渔网什么的，它们被水冲呀、泡呀，又被太阳晒，时间长了就成了这模样，到处都是呢!”

蔡伦抬头看着满山遍野的绿树，不由眉开眼笑。

回到宫里后，蔡伦马上投入了紧张的试验和制作中，他挑选出树皮、破麻布、旧渔网等，让工匠们把它们切碎剪断，放在一个大水池中浸泡。过了一段时间后，其中的杂物烂掉了，而纤维不易腐烂，就保留了下来。他再让工匠们把浸泡过的原料捞起，放入石臼中，不停搅拌，直到它们成为浆状物，然后再用竹篾把这粘乎乎的东西挑起来，等干燥后揭下来就变成了纸。

蔡伦带着工匠们反复试验，最后终于试制出既轻薄柔韧，又取材容易、来源广泛、价格低廉的纸。

人们为了纪念蔡伦，就把用这种造纸工艺造出来的纸称为“蔡侯纸”。

Chinese New Year

Chinese new year is a chinese traditional festival. We also call it the spring festival. It is on lunar january 1st.

After breakfast, people often make many delicious foods, and children often play cards, computer games and fireworks. On the second and third day, we visit friends and relatives.

Everyone is busy on chinese new year, and everyone is happy, too.

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.

一只小羊不小心掉进陷坑里。

一只觅食的狼从这里经过。它看见了坑里的小羊，正准备跳下去，可是一个危险的念头马上阻止了它。

狼说：“可怜的小山羊，让我救你上来吧!”

小羊说：“哼！我才不上当呢，没安好心的东西！上回我哥哥把你从坑里救起来，你却把它吃掉了，真是忘恩负义！呜──”小羊怕得哭了起来。

狼挤出两滴眼泪，装着哭腔道：“骂得好！我是对不住你哥哥呵！我正来救你作为补偿！”

小羊说：“别骗人了，我宁愿呆在坑饿死也不让你吃掉！”

狼说：“我怎么会吃你呢? 要吃你我不会跳下来吗? 哼！这回是我救你。谈报答的应该是你，看是否忘恩负义的也是你，而不是我！荒谬的家伙！”

羊想是呀，上回是哥哥救狼，而这回……不上去也是死啊！它要吃我不会自己跳下来吗?

小羊越想越拿不定主意。狼不失时机地叹了口气说：“唉！你不上来我也没办法，我要走了，天快黑了。”

羊一听天快黑了更是害怕，连忙叫住了狼。

当狼把小羊救起来后，狼便露出了凶恶的本相，无情地吃掉了小山羊，最后还抹抹嘴说：“让我费了这么大劲，你这只笨羊！”

当坏人有助于你时，很可能有更大的阴谋要伤害你！

在曾国藩小的时候，有一次老师给他布置了家庭作业-----就是现在人们说的背书，如果你聪明才智较高， 那么背这些四书五经应该不在话下，而曾却用了足足一晚上，这可苦了一个人。这个人是谁呢?原来那 天凑巧有一小偷来光顾他家，在曾家一夜游的同时顺便带点纪念品回去。这位小偷很早就潜入他家，埋伏在床底下心想：“万事俱备、只欠东风了，等这书呆子一睡，我就捞上一笔”

一个小时过去了，小偷耳边不停的传入“关关雎鸠，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑”的背书声。

忍耐!

两个小时过去了，小偷耳边仍不停的听到这同样的背书词。

再忍耐!!

三个小时过去了，同样的背书词从同一个人口中读出---曾国藩还是没完成老师给的任务。

“关关雎鸠，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑”，终于，那个人抑扬顿挫的将古诗词一字不漏的背出，可惜这个人不是曾国藩，而是一直潜伏在他家，手脚快发麻的小偷。 忍耐到了极限，无需再忍。这个小偷见这书呆子悟性如此之低，而自已却陪着他傻等了一晚，实在不值，撤手不干了。

“勤能补拙是良训，一分耕耘一分收获。”那小偷的记忆力很好，听过几遍的文章都能背下来，天分很高，但是遗憾的是他的天分没有加上勤奋，所以他只能是个小偷。而曾国藩虽然没有小偷那样的天分，却通过自己的勤奋、努力而成为一位连毛泽东主席都钦佩的人。其中的道理就在于：“天分并不等于成功，只有勤奋才能让‘天才’变成‘人才’。”

望梅止渴

Among the outstanding figures of Chinese history, famous either for their

intelligence or treachery(背叛,变节), Cao Cao is one of the foremost.

One hot day, he marched out his troops under a burning sun in a mountainous

area. Bewilderingly(令人困惑地) he lost the way. The journey was long and the sun was

scorching. After their fruitless and tiresome march, all voiced their great

dissatisfaction with the leadership of Cao Cao. They bitterly complained of

their great thirst. The antagonism(对抗) of the soldiers was growing fast and they

were on the verge of staging a mutiny(兵变). The subordinate officers were

helpless to cope with the situation.

Cao Cao, however, in the nick of time cleverly and treacherously gave

orders to his troops to march to the nearby plum trees for a rest and announced

that soldiers would be allowed to eat the juicy sour(酸的) fruit as much as they

desired.

At the thought of the sour fruit the soldiers complaint of great thirst as

well as the antagonistic feeling were quickly forgotten.

Based on the story the later generation formed the proverb "to quench ones

thirst by looking up at plums", to illustrate a case where one takes comfort in

believing that they have already attained that which was expected or

desired.

魏国大夫庞恭和魏国太子一起作为赵国的人质，定于某日启程赴赵都邯郸。

临行时，庞恭向魏王提出一个问题，他说：“如果有一个人对您说，我看见闹市熙熙攘攘的人群中有一只老虎，君王相信吗?”魏王说：“我当然不信。”庞恭又问：“如果是两个人对您这样说呢?”魏王说：“那我也不信。”庞恭紧接着追问了一句道：“如果有三个人都说亲眼看见了闹市中的老虎，君王是否还不相信?”魏王说道：“既然这么多人都说看见了老虎，肯定确有其事，所以我不能不信。”

庞恭听了这话以后，深有感触地说：“果然不出我的所料，问题就出在这里!事实上，人虎相怕，各占几分。

具体地说，某一次究竟是人怕虎还是虎怕人，要根据力量对比来论。众所周知，一只老虎是决不敢闯入闹市之中的。如今君王不顾及情理、不深入调查，只凭三人说虎即肯定有虎，那么等我到了比闹市还远的邯郸，您要是听见三个或更多不喜欢我的人说我的坏话，岂不是要断言我是坏人吗?临别之前，我向您说出这点疑虑，希望君王一定不要轻信人言。”

庞恭走后，一些平时对他心怀不满的人开始在魏王面前说他的坏话。时间一长，魏王果然听信了这些谗言。当庞恭从邯郸回魏国时，魏王再也不愿意召见他了。

看起来，谣言惑众，流言蜚语多了，的确足以毁掉一个人。随声附和的人一多，白的也会被说成黑的，真是叫做“众口铄金，积毁销骨”。所以我们对待任何事情都要有自己的分析，不要人云亦云，被假象所蒙蔽。

小花狗买回一双小红鞋，红帮、红底、红丝带。朋友们都说，小花狗的红鞋真漂亮。

小花狗穿上小红鞋，抬起头，挺起胸，背过手，迈着方步走了起来。朋友们又说，小花狗，真神气。

突然，小花狗大踏步地走进了绿草地，他脚上的小红鞋踩倒了一片又一片青青的小草，踩坏了一朵又一朵鲜艳的野花。

朋友们说：“小花狗，你不该踩坏小草和野花!”

小花狗不好意思地说：“这……这……”，他费了好大劲才从草地里走出来，可是，脚下却发出一阵“咯咯咯”的笑声。

第二天，小花狗想去看望小花猫，他又穿上了他的小红鞋，可是，小红鞋却带着他一直向一棵苹果树走去，而且，不费什么力气就走到了树上。又把树枝“咔嚓咔嚓”踩断了许多，红红的苹果也掉了一地。

朋友们又说：“小花狗，你怎么能把树枝都踩断呢?”

小花狗气坏了，他跳下树来，刚想脱下小红鞋，可是，小红鞋以带着小花狗走进了小河，走进了烂泥塘。一会儿，清清地小河被搅浑了，小红鞋也变成了一双又脏又破的鞋。

小花狗再也不喜欢小红鞋了，他把小红鞋扔进了烂草堆，和朋友们搬到别的地方去住了。

躺在烂草堆里的小红鞋，再也快乐不起来了，他看看身上的污泥，想想好朋友小花狗，心里好难过，好难过。

这时，小红鞋突然觉得一个什么东西掉进了他的鞋坑儿，还扑棱棱地在动。

小红鞋问：“你是谁呀?”

“我是一只小红鸟，天太冷了，让我在这里暖和暖和吧。”

看着冻得发拌的小红鸟，小红鞋急忙合上鞋帮、鞋舌，像给小红鸟盖上了被子。一会儿，小红鸟暖和过来，又过了一会儿，小红鸟甜甜地睡着了。小红鞋觉得有小红鸟做伴，这一夜过得非常愉快。

可是，就在天快亮的时候，小红鞋发现小红鸟不见了。他抬头看看天空，想不到自己也像小红鸟一样飞了起来。飞起来的小红鞋高兴极了。他首先飞进绿草地，一棵棵青草，一朵朵野花，就像变魔术一样站了起来。草地又绿了，像碧绿的地毯;花儿更多了，像五彩的花园。

小红鞋想：这样的地方真美。他吹着口哨，又走进小河，像一艘小船在河上驶过。驶过的地主，小河变得清清亮亮，小鱼鲤鱼一条一条跳起来，向小红鞋招手。

小红鞋向小鲤鱼招招手，又离开了小河，飞上苹果树，他用自己的红丝带绑好了一棵棵补他踩断的树枝。奇怪，他的红丝带总也用不完，用了一条，不有一条。一会儿，苹果树就系满了红丝带，像许多鲜艳的红头绳，在微风里飘动。

过了几天，小花狗发现自己的家园比原来更美丽了，他急忙唤回那些和他一起搬走的朋友。朋友们都觉得奇怪，可是，谁也说不出这是谁干的。他们找呀找，缍看到了持在树上的红丝带，这是小红鞋的红丝带呀!可是，他找遍了绿草地，也没见到小红鞋的影子。只是，每天天快亮时，他们都会看到天边有两朵红色的云彩在轻轻飘动，那是小红鞋吗?那么，云彩旁边还有一颗闪闪的星星，那是什么呢?

小花狗和他的朋友们又搬回来住了，他们真想念快乐的小红鞋。

越国没有车，越国的人也一直都不懂得该如何造车。越人很希望学会造车的技术，好将车用在战场上，增强本国的军事力量。

有一次，一个越人到晋国去游玩。野外空气新鲜、风景美丽，他一路走一路看，不知不觉到了晋国和楚国交界的郊野。忽然，不远处的一件东西将他的视线吸引过去。“咦，这不是一辆车吗?”这个越人马上联想起在晋国见到过的车。这东西确实是辆车，不过毁坏得很厉害，所以才被人弃置在这里，这车的辐条已经腐朽，轮子毁坏，輗(ni)也折断了，车辕也毁了，上上下下没有一处完好的地方。但这个越人对车本来看得不真切，又一心想为没有车的家乡立一大功，就想办法把破车运了回去。

回到越国，这个越人便到处夸耀：“去我家看车吧，我弄到一辆车，是一辆真正的车呢，可棒了，我好不容易才搞到的呢!”于是，到他家去看车的人络绎不绝，大家都想一睹为快。几乎每一个人都听信了这个越人的炫耀之词，纷纷议论着说：“原来车就是这个样子的啊!”“看上去怕不能用吧，是不是损坏过呢?”“你不信先生的话吗?车一定本来就是这个样子的。”“对，我看也是。”这样，越人造起车来都摹仿这个车的形状。

后来，晋国和楚国的人见到越人造的车，都笑得直不起腰来，讥讽说：“越人实在太笨拙了，竟然将车都造成破车，哪里能用呢?”可是越人根本不理会晋人和楚人的讥讽，还是我行我素，造出了一辆辆的破车。

终于有一天，战争爆发了，敌人大兵压境，就要侵入越国领土了。越人一点也不惊慌，从容应战，他们都觉得现在有车了，再没什么可怕的，越人驾着破车向敌军冲过去，才冲了没多远，破车就散了架，在地上滚得七零八落，越国士兵也纷纷从车上跌落下来。敌军趁乱杀将过来，把越人的阵形冲得乱七八糟，越人抵挡不住，死的死，逃的逃，投降的投降，兵败如山倒。可是直到最后，他们也不知道自己是败在了车上。

向别人学习当然是对的，但是应该有所选择，去其糟粕，取其精华。要是连糟粕也一并纳入怀中，就会栽跟头了。

The Chinese manners is differend from other countries .In China, people first meet to shake hands.When people eat,Besides soup, table all food use chopsticks.Certain foods can move chopsticks eyes.And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

中国的礼仪是不同于来自其他国家的。在中国,人们第一次见面握手。当人们吃,除了汤之外,表所有食品使用筷子。某些食物可以动筷子的眼睛。有时中国主人用筷子把食物在你的碗或盘子。这是礼貌的标志。适当的事是吃不管它是什么,说有多美味。如果你觉得不舒服,你可以只说一个礼貌的谢谢,让那里的食物。

不要用筷子敲打饭碗。乞丐行乞时常敲打饭碗,所以,这是不礼貌的。同样,当食物来restarant太慢,人们会利用他们的碗。如果你在某人的家里,它就像侮辱厨师。

As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus,Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise．One day they came to a village．At a thousand house sthey knocked,and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink．At last they arrived at a humble cottage,where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived．Poor but at peace with world,they made the best of what life could offer them ,and felt truly grateful to the gods above．When the two travellers entered the hut,the old couple were glad with lively happiness．They offered their guests their best seat,and immediately set about preparing dinner for them．With no small difficulty they made fire,brought in a fresh cabbage,cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook．The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors,but it was saved at the last minute by the guests．The dining bench was a makeshift ,poor and patched but the best they had．The table was supported by a brick．The feast was quite modest,eggs and wine and cot tage cheese,and a variety of newly pickedfruit．The old couple humbly waited on the visiting guests withsincere looks and eager goodwill．Moved at the hospitality ofthe house,the gods told their true identity．“We are gods”,saidZeus．“While the neigh bour hood pays the penalty for itswickedness you shall be free from misfortune．Coming along with us”．When they were near the top of the hill,Bancis and Phile mon looked back and saw all the village below covered by amarsh ,and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived,changed into a grand temple．At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus．When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden,standing side by side in front of the temple．

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。”

Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture, which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying the needs of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decorated with some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies and bedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of art work, the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hang on a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host of the room likes it much; if it is written by the host himself, it will demonstrate more his aspiration and interest as well as his talent.

书法是中国文化的精粹，除了满足日常书写外，它已经上升成为一门特别的高等艺术。他兴旺于中华大地数千年而不衰。商业气息浓重的店面装饰一些具有古色古香、文化色彩的书法作品就会平添几分高雅。书法作品也常常装饰客厅，书房和卧室。作为一种艺术，书法的书写是很讲究的。汉字写在吸水性很强的宣纸上，然后再装裱起来挂上墙壁。书法作品多半是居室主人所喜爱的一首诗词或是一句格言;如果这是他自己所作，那就更能显示他的志趣和才华了。

DragonBoatFestival, often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well, most notably Korea.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating Qus body. They also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day", due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown.

Today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

龙舟节，端午节经常或端午节，是一种传统的中国节日对中华历5月5日举行。它也被称为端五。[来源请求]它已经被庆祝，以各种方式在其他地区以及东亚，尤其是韩国。

端午确切的起源尚不清楚，但一种传统的观点认为，节日来源在中国诗人屈原的战国时期。他犯的河中溺死自己，因为他是由政府的腐败深恶痛绝楚自杀。当地群众，知道他是一个好人，决定投身到河里的鱼的食物，饲料，以防止吃屈原的尸体他们。他们还坐在龙舟，并试图吓唬由船上和激烈的寻找龙在船头头战鼓齐鸣声中的鱼了。

在中国民国初年，段坞也被“诗人节“庆祝，由于屈原作为中国的第一个著名的诗人的个人地位。

今天，人们吃粽子的曲的戏剧性死亡内存和龙舟比赛(原本打算饲料鱼类的食物)。
