After the stealing of fire,Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he

ordered his son Hephaestus to build an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.A charming young lady,she was the first woman that ever lived.Zeus called her Pandora.Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.The gift was harmful to men.

Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present. So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus. The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her, and Epimetheus happily received her into his house. He had quite forgotten Pometheus warning: never to accept anything from Zeus.

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was a curious woman. She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask. One day, when Epimetheus was out, she lifted the lid and out it came unrest and war, Plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief, sorrow, and all the other evils. The human world was hence to experience these evils. Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out. So men always have hope within their hearts.

偷窃天火之后,宙斯对人类的敌意与日俱增。一天,他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像,并请众神赠予她不同的礼物。世上的第一个女人是位迷人女郎,因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物,因此宙斯称她为潘多拉。

宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容绝美,见者无不为之倾心。厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内。普罗米修斯警告过他不得接受宙斯的任何馈赠,而他已将之忘于脑后。这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活,但不久灾难却降临人间。

当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候,他把一个桶托付给厄庇墨透斯。他警告过他的弟

弟不要打开桶盖。潘多拉好奇心强。她的丈夫不允许她看桶中之物,这使她感到十分懊恼。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外,她打开桶盖,从桶里跑出的是不和与战争,瘟疫与疾病,偷窃与暴力,悲哀与忧虑,以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被关在桶口,永远飞不出来,因此人们常常把希望藏于心中。

When a couple gets married, it is natural for them to receive wishes from

relatives and friends. Recently, a young couple showed the message of their

coming wedding, but the public criticized the man, because they believed he was

committing crime as he fell in love with a girl when she was 8 years old.

The man and the little girl’s story seems to be romantic. But thinking of

the girl’s young age when they met, and she was just a little girl, it is

unbelievable. Though now she is almost 18, their story worries so many parents.

They are so afraid of the negative information releases to the young children,

when they don’t know the concept of love. From 8 to 18, the girl’s growing

period is accompanied by this man who is much older than her, while I don’t

favor of this way.

The girl was misled by the wrong conception. Someone told her when she was

18, they would be married. As she is young and innocent, even she is 18, she

doesn’t have much chance to see the variety of the world. The way she sees the

world is misled by this elder man.

A child’s growing up should be natural and led by the right value.

英语寓言故事: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.

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。

篇6:英语故事短文含哲理

全文共 2677 字

+ 加入清单

导读:哲理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。”

篇13:最美英语老师王云的故事

全文共 1937 字

+ 加入清单

“太阳底下最光辉的事业”、“人类灵魂的工程师”……不知道有多少人用这样深情的字眼来讴歌教师这一平凡而又伟大的职业!曾经的她也是一样,憧憬着自己手拿粉笔奋起疾书的画面。经过几年的努力,她成了一名优秀的小学英语老师。今天小编就来分享最美英语老师王云的故事,希望读者喜欢。

最美英语老师王云的故事

一、精备每节课

从十四年前踏上讲台的那一刻,她就明白自己的生活就是这样的单调:学校,家,与那灯火柳绿的社会,她始终保持应该有的距离。在她毕业第一年的时候,也是她小学英语起步的第一年,学校给她的就是一本书,别的什么也没有,于是,别人所有的休闲时间,她都用来制作教具,自己动手画课文的插图,寻找一切可以用来辅助教学的工具,当时就有很多人劝她:英语又不是作为主科的,最后也不要考试,你干嘛这么认真,差不多就行了!对于别人的“善意提醒”,她只能抱以一笑,坚持沉浸在自己的“快乐”之中,为了上出一节让学生感兴趣的课,为了让自己的每一节课都达到自己满意的效果,为了那一张张充满期待的小脸和初学英语的热情和喜悦,她所有的辛苦和努力都显得是那么的有价值。

二、争当好老师

在她心目中,希望学生把她当作朋友一样,可以交心的。所以她一直努力营造一种更为和谐的师生关系,无论是生活中,还是学习上,她都乐意为他们排忧解难,她希望每一个在自己课堂上的学生都是“亲其师而信其道”的,她的坚持,从后来到她课堂上听课的老师那儿得来的反馈得到了很好的印证,每一个老师都能感受到她与学生之间的融洽,她在关注学生时的投入与真诚,学生在听时的入神,教师与学生互动的和谐,她觉得这已经成为了一种享受。她常用乐观无私的心态看待自己的职业,她从中发现无尽的快乐,汲取工作的热情,收获成功的喜悦。

刚毕业时所教的四年级学生中,有一个叫陆曼的小女孩,活泼,开朗,特别喜欢学英语,课堂表现特别的棒,王老师一直以为她是一个优秀的学生,后来通过与其他老师还有她家长的交流,才知道,她的语文成绩只有六十几分,数学也好不到哪儿去,王老师就觉得很困惑,这样一个热情向上的小女孩怎么就成了别的老师眼中的“差生”了呢?王老师不能理解,更不能接受,于是总是利用课间的时候找学生聊聊天,终于知道,原来她的语、数成绩不好,是因为她不喜欢语文和数学老师,觉得她们太严厉了,就讨厌学习这两门课程,所以就越学越差。真的,如果只是因为这种原因,让这样一个原本可以很优秀的学生就这样放弃了自己,真是太可惜了。王老师耐心的开导陆曼,告诉她,每一个老师的教学方法有不同,但每一个老师的出发点都是一样的,都是为了学生好,希望他们能够进步,学有所得。这是一个懂事的女孩,通过与科任老师的协调,对于陆曼的点滴进步都予以表扬,很快,陆曼就让王老师看到了出乎意料的效果,最后考上了南京晓庄师范学校。王老师很感动,感动于自己当初的坚持,其实这样的学生她每一年都会遇到,并且她也一如继往的以自己的耐心和爱心去感化,教育他们,希望每一个孩子都成为一朵美丽的花朵,为祖国贡献一份自己的力量。

三、热衷教科研

打铁还需自身硬,她不是一名专业的英语老师,却从此踏上了英语教学的岗位,她知道自己将付出的要比别人多得多,每一个单词,每一篇课文,在教学生之前,都要反反复复的跟录音读很多遍。在教学之余,她能潜心钻研,认真学习教学理念,充实自己,完善自己,积极的撰写教学心得,总结在教学中的一些体会和经验,把实践的教学心得上升到理论的层次和高度,个人的多篇教研论文在省市教学杂志上发表,多篇论文在国家、省、市级评比中获奖,撰写的全镇英语质量分析报告连续3年获得县评比一等奖。此外,还积极参与课题研究,并将课程研究成果运用到日常英语教学中去,先后主持了县十五、十一五、十二五课题研究,均顺利结题。

功夫不负有心人,她的文章陆续发表于各类报刊、杂志,各类评比的荣誉证书接踵而至,指导学生的习作大量发表,自己也成为一名县小学英语教学能手。

四、争做好队友

工作中她都能够坚持发挥自己乐于助人的善良本性,无论是哪一个老师需要帮助,她都会不遗余力的去贡献自己的力量。所以,每一个老师在需要上公开课,或者比赛课,或者是教学中有什么困惑的时候,都喜欢来找她,和她一起探讨,或者请她帮忙出主意,做课件等等,同事们的信任对她来说就是最大的动力,记不清有多少个夜晚为了别人的课,或是别人的课件她熬到深夜,有时候只是为一句话,或是一个字体,一个图片,反反复复的修改,只是为了不辜负别人对她的信赖。看到同事们一个个取得喜人的成绩她也由衷的替她们感到高兴!

付出总有回报,她的努力获得了学校领导,同事,学生,家长的一致认何,这让她感到作为一个教师的无比幸福。她不知道,做一名好老师,究竟有什么样的标准,她只知道努力做一名好老师,并且将一直坚持下去!

英语寓言故事The Prophet

The Prophet

A WIZARD, sitting in the marketplace, was telling the fortunes of

the passers-by when a person ran up in great haste, and

announced to him that the doors of his house had been broken open

and that all his goods were being stolen. He sighed heavily and

hastened away as fast as he could run. A neighbor saw him

running and said, "Oh! you fellow there! you say you can foretell

the fortunes of others; how is it you did not foresee your own?

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。

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。

He looked at us and said, "I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish."

Frank‘s voice dropped a bit. "When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"

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。
