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。”

英语很重要，不只是在初试中，在复试中，对于名校来说，往往就是一个筛选的关卡，对于同等学力同学来说更是如此，而英语中，作文最能体现你的综合素质了，所以大家要提高自己的作文修养，趁着还有时间要多多努力，下面就从两个方面来谈谈这个问题。

我们对待英语作文的基本态度是：背诵成品，准确记忆，归结模板，适当练手。

首先，学习语言，没有比背诵更好的方法了

作文一出生就是用来背的，背完后默写，修改，然后再接着背，接着默写，修改。我们学汉语学得这么溜的原因就是我们的脑子里有大量的文字性的片段和短语词汇之类的积累，想想你小时候语文老师教你背下来那些好词好段的用意，套用在英语上也能奏效，学习语言，没有比背诵更好的方法了。请16级备考的的童鞋们背完作文后务必要默写，然后对着原文一丝不苟的修改。另外，有一种“记住”叫做“你觉得你记住了”，别以为你背出来的就是原文，真写一遍你就知道你照葫芦画出来的究竟是瓢还是葫芦。

其次，模板很重要，不会作诗也会吟

目前来说，时间还很充裕，你有时间在背诵的同时总结自己独特的模板，虽然说起来很多阅卷老师很反感模板，但他们反感的其实是你们都是用一样的模板，如果你的模板老师压根就没有见过，那不就约等于你是原创了吗?这个模板的原创依赖于你一直以来的积累，根据作文题型的分类，总结出自己的模板，这个很重要。模板和背诵只是为你正式的书写打基础，大概每两个星期还试着自己写几篇作文练习一下，避免在考场上因为不熟悉而产生任何的使结果差强人意的因素。

另外，对于图片的描述，以及作文中为了亮眼想要使用的高级句型，小编建议大家早作准备，最起码在从句中你要有自己可以熟练掌握的一种，考研英语作文中没有从句的话，再好的开头和结尾只会凸显你内容叙述的简陋和苍白。

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

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.

On the way home, I want to for a long time, why at the beginning of the puppy to grandma house can grow up? Eat fat? I think its because my grandma home food is to its liking. Ha ha, my little little cute.

我家有一只小狗，名叫点点，今年三岁，毛色是浅黄色的，非常讨人喜欢，点点的鼻子黑黑的，长得及小，它天生有一种傲慢的性格。

点点是一只金毛。还记的2007年冬天，正下着鹅毛大雪，它的母亲把它生下来，一个月以后我去姥姥家把它抱了回来，但它分外的小，它就是两斤左右，点点在我家生活了一年左右，因为我家没有黄土，点点的大小便也成了一个问题，无奈之下妈妈不得不把它寄存在姥姥家，点点刚走的的那几天，我无时无刻不在想它，干什么事都无精打彩，时间久了，我也渐渐淡忘了。

至从有一天，妈妈说：好久没去姥姥家了，今天去看看吧，这使我猛的想起了被我遗忘的好朋友点点，吃过午饭，我们去了姥姥家，一见面，我还差点没有认出，当初像“豆芽形”的小狗，现在却长得又粗又高，看起来威风凛凛的，鼻子上也有一点淡淡的红色，显得格外精神。

在回家的路上，我想了许久，为什么当初的小狗到了姥姥家就长大了?也吃胖了呢?我想是因为姥姥家的饭很合它的胃口吧。呵呵，我家的小点点可爱吧。

我是我自己的阳光I Am My Sunshine

A very old song tells us that "you are my sunshine".

有一首老歌告诉我们,"你是我的阳光"。

It’s all right to believe that someone brings sunshine into your life. That someone might have enough to spread1 round. But, if you really have to wait for someone else to be your sunshine, your good feelings, then you might wait for a long time.

相信会有一个人把阳光带进你的生活中是可以的。那个人也许会有足够的东西去四处传播。但是,如果你真的要等别人带给你阳光,带给你美好的感受,那你也许要等上很长的时间。

你这一刻的欢呼会带你走到下一刻,你也将会把握住那一刻。你值得拥有美好的事物。去争取吧!

People always say that we are lacking of the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I cant agree with it anymore. Last week, I woke up very early in the morning, so I decided to take a walk. The street was very quiet and there were many old people dancing in the square. Without many cars, I realized the city looked so clean and beautiful. Some coffee shops decorates so well, which attrated my eyes. The city was coverd by the green trees, which made it a green city. I liked this feeling so much. At this moment, I found the city was so lovely, I just ingored its beauty usually.

“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”

I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

我们每个人都像是农夫。洒下良种将有丰收，播下劣种或生满野草便将毁去收成。没有耕耘则会一无所获。

我希望未来比过去更加美好，希望未来不会沾染历史的错误与过失。我们都应举目向前，因我们的余生要用未来书写。

往昔已逝，静如止水;我们无法再作改变。而前方的未来正生机勃勃;我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它。只要我们认识到这些，无论是在家中还是在工作上，每天我们的面前都会展现出新的天地。在人类致力开拓的每一片领域上，我们正站在进步的起跑点。

So they decide to have celebration on that day. They will light up lights to frighten the ghosts.

一开始庆祝它主要是为了赞美秋天。所以这个节日是在深秋。它还有另一个传说。很久以前，万圣节都是与鬼魂相关联的。人们认为那些无家可归的鬼魂会在10月31日晚上出来找食物。不管这个传书是真的还是假的，单单听说人们就会感到害怕了。所以，他们决定在那一天庆祝。他们会把灯点亮来吓唬鬼魂。

Children in costumes race from house to house asking for treats. A carved pumpkin, called a jack-o’-lantern, grins from a porch as the children pass. According to legend, jack-o’-lanterns protect people in their homes from ghostly spirits.

It’s all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from several parts of the world.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumes can be traditional and scary, such as a witch’s pointy hat and black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!

Once in costume, children go from house to house saying “Trick or treat!” In the past, children might play a “trick” on people who did not give treats. They might pelt houses with eggs or old tomatoes, or play other pranks. Today, children’s cries of “Trick or treat!” are usually rewarded with candy.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday

y called Sa amhain on October 31. After sunset that day, people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints’ Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints’ Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloween’s popularity.

But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.

儿童服装竞赛挨家挨户要求对待。,南瓜,称为的南瓜灯笑容从玄关,孩子们通过。根据传说,南瓜灯保护人们从可怕的精神家园。

这是所有的一部分乐趣在万圣节!万圣节的根源可以追溯到数千年,借世界海关从几个地方。

万圣节是一个10月31日庆祝的节日。按照传统,万圣节在日落之后开始。很久以前,人们相信女巫聚集和万圣节鬼在世界。今天,大多数人不再相信幽灵和巫婆。但这些超自然仍然是一个万圣节的一部分。

颜色黑色和橙色也是万圣节的一部分。黑色象征着晚上和橙色是南瓜的颜色。鬼火是一个中空的南瓜脸雕刻的一侧。蜡烛通常放在,面临着一个令人毛骨悚然的发光。

穿着面具和服装是一个流行的万圣节活动。服装是传统和可怕的,比如一个女巫的尖尖的帽子和黑色的礼服。服装也有现代气息。许多孩子装扮成电影人物或最喜欢的超级英雄。

但是万圣节不仅仅是为了孩子。许多成年人喜欢炫耀他们的服装在万圣节派对!

一次服装,孩子们挨家挨户说“不给糖就捣蛋!“在过去,孩子们可能会扮演一个“技巧”没有给对的人。他们可能与鸡蛋或毛皮房子旧西红柿,或玩其他的恶作剧。今天,孩子们的叫喊起来,“不给糖就捣蛋!“通常得到糖果。

最古老的万圣节传统之一来自于古老的凯尔特人,很久以前住在欧洲西部和中部。凯尔特人庆祝一个节日

y称为Sa amhain 10月31日。日落之后那一天,人们相信死者的灵魂会上升,地球走。凯尔特人的食品和饮料保持精神献祭。

大约在2000年前开始,罗马帝国征服了许多凯尔特民族。但凯尔特传统,包括夏末节,保持强劲的地区如爱尔兰和苏格兰,即使在罗马征服。

罗马天主教会试图取代835年夏末节所有圣徒的日子,纪念圣徒教会的一天。万圣节前夕是10月31日。它被称为万圣节或万圣节的教堂。

万圣节从凯尔特地区第一次来到美国早期定居者在欧洲,比如爱尔兰和苏格兰。但其他美国定居者与严格的宗教信仰,包括从英国来的清教徒,拒绝了万圣节。许多爱尔兰移民的到来在1800年代帮助传播万圣节的声望。

但到1800年代末,更少的人相信幽灵和巫婆古老的迷信。万圣节变得更加的节日孩子接受治疗和穿着服饰。

It looks like a great dragon, surmounts lofty hills, through the vast grassland, across the vast desert, towards the vast sea. According to historical records, more than 20 states and feudal dynasty built the Great Wall, if constructs each time the Great Wall together, about 100000 miles above. The length of the Great Wall that was built by The Qin, Han, and Ming 3 Dynasty was more than 10 kilo miles.

The Great Wall is the working people in ancient China created the miracle. Beginning with QinShihuang, constructs the Great Wall always is a big project. According to the record, QinShihuang used the million of labors to build the Great Wall, occupy countrywide population 1 / 20! There were no machinery, in addition to earth, carrying bricks can use donkeys, goats can climb the cattle, all labor and all must rely on manpower, work environment and high mountains and lofty hills, cliff. Can imagine, no large crowds on hard work, is unable to complete the great project.

The great wall of the engineering quantity, according to rough estimates, only constructs take the Ming Dynasty as an example, if its masoy, earth is used to build a thickness of 1 meter, 5 meters high walls, circled the earth for over a week. If used for paving a 5 meters wide, 35 cm thick road, it could circle the earth three or four

weeks. If all dynasties built a total of 50 thousand kilometers calculation, then this wall can rotate around the earth several weeks, this road, around the earth in thirty or forty weeks.

Later each dynasty build the Great Wall are in accordance with the principle of. Who built Guan Cheng pass are the right and wrong choice between two mountains canyons, or river turning point.

Some places

completely using the cliffs, rivers and lakes as a natural barrier, it can be called art beats nature. The

Great Wall, as a great project, become the Chinese nation is a valuable heritage.

长城修筑的历史悠久，工程雄伟浩大，是世界少有的奇迹。长城东西南北交错，绵延伏于我们伟大祖国辽阔的土地上。它好像一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过茫茫草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫的大海。根据历史文献记载，有20多个诸侯国家和封建王朝修筑过长城，若把各个时代修筑的长城加起来，大约有10万里以上。其中秦、汉、明3个朝代所修长城的长度都超过了1万里。现在我国新疆、 甘肃、 宁夏、 陕西、 内蒙古、 山西、河北、北京、 天津、 辽宁、 吉林、 黑龙江、 河南、山东、湖北、湖南等省、市、自治区都有古长城、峰火台的遗迹。其中仅内蒙古自治区的长城就达3万多里。

明朝在“外边”长城之外，还修筑了“内边”长城和“内三关”长城。“内关”长城以北齐所筑为基础，起自内蒙古与山西交界处的偏关以西，东行经雁门关、平型诸关入河北，然后折向东北，经来源、房山、昌平诸县，直达居庸关，然后又由北而东，至怀柔的四海关、与“外边”长城相接，以紫荆关为中心，大致成南北走向。“内三关”长城在很多地方和“内边”长城并行，有些地方两城相隔仅数十里。除此以外，还修筑了大量的“重城”。雁门关一带的“重城”就有24道之多！

长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹。自秦始皇开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。据记载，秦始皇使用了近百万劳动力修筑长城，占全国人口的1/20！当时没有任何机械，除运土、运砖可以用毛驴、山羊能爬山的牲畜外，全部劳动都得靠人力，而工作环境又是崇山峻岭、峭壁深壑。可以想见，没有大量的人群进行艰苦的劳动，是无法完成这项巨大工程的。

万里长城的工程量，据粗略估计，仅以明朝修筑为例，若将其砖石、土方用修筑一道厚1米、高5米的大墙，可环绕地球一周有余。如果用来铺筑一条宽5米、厚35厘米的马路，那就能绕地球三四周了。如果把所有朝代所修的总计10万里来计算，则这道长墙可绕地球十几周，这条马路，可绕地球三四十周。

“因地地形，用险制塞”是修筑长城的一条重要经验，在秦始皇的时候已经把它肯定下来，司马迁把它写入《史记》之中。以后每一个朝代修筑长城都是按照这一原则进行的。凡是修筑关城隘口都是非曲直选择在两山峡谷之间，或是河流转折之处。或是平川往来必经之地，这样既能控制险要，又可节约人力和材料，以达“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的效果。修筑城堡或烽火台也是选择在“四顾要之处”至于修筑城墙，更是充分地利用地地形，如像居庸关、八达岭的长城都有是沿着山岭的脊背修筑，有的地段从城墙外侧看去非常险峻，内侧则甚是平缓，收“易守难攻”之效。在辽宁境内，明代辽东镇的长城有一种

叫山险墙、劈山墙的，就是利用悬崖陡壁，稍微把崖壁劈削一下就成为长城 了。还有一些地方完全利用危崖绝壁、江河湖泊作为天然屏障，真可以说是巧夺天工了.长城，作为一顶伟大的工程，成为中华民族的一份宝贵遗产。
