A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】 一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹?果，他说：“我不计划吃那些苹?果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我特别好吃的东西。”接着他拿起苹?果，一把扔到土里去。 他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，接着他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能度过河。” 他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹?果，特别开心地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。 不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有效果处。

给你三篇,你选一篇吧. The Old Cat An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. Then the old woman became very angry

because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

【译文】 老猫 一位老妇有只猫，这只猫特别老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。 于是，老妇特别生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了特别多年，还而且愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid." 【译文】 城里老鼠和乡下老鼠 从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好好友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。特别多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家瞧瞧。”于

是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把全部最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为啥住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，而且会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家瞧瞧。” 乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见特别大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。 过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然苹穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

Our English Teacher

Our teacher is strict not only with himself but also with us. We all like him, because he is a good teacher and often helps us with our English.

I believe, you can. ” With the help of our teacher, he decided to catch up with his classmates. So he began to put his heart into English and did better in English. At last, he took part in the English contest and got a prize.

Our English teacher works hard and he is as busy as a bee. He often prepares lessons and studies until late at night. In Grade three, we often have tests and have more English homework. Mr Sun always goes over it carefully.

Zheng leaps into history

In the winter of 1953, a powerful jump from a Chinese woman attracted world attention.

Twenty-year-old Chinese athlete Zheng Fengrong shattered the women's high jump world record with a leap of 1.77 metres in a Beijing athletic meet on November 17, 1957.

The new record, the first women's world record for the People's Republic of China, was one centimetre higher than the old mark held by American Mildred McDaniel .

The jump also made Zheng the first Asian athlete to break a world track and field record since 1936.

The record jump, although by a tiny margin, was described by the foreign media as “an explosive jump” because it generated China's first athletic world record.

Dubbed “ a spring swallow (燕子) awakening (唤醒了)Chinese sports, ” Zheng sent a message to the world that China was Nolonger the “sick man of the East. ”

Born in the spring city of Jinan, Shandong Province, Zheng, who stands at 1.70 metres, has a good physique and a skillful scissor----sharp jump which was seldom seen among top jumpers in the world.

She once leapt 1.78 metres, a national record in 1963.

She claimed a well-merited place in sporting history when her achievement was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录) .

Due to her contribution (贡献) to athletics, Zheng was awarded a series of honours. She was named among the nation's greatest athletes (运动员) in 1984.

Rong is first world champion

When China was hungry for their first world title to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China table tennis player Rong Guotuan made their dream come true.

Rong became New China's first world champion after he won the men's singles title at the 25th World Table Tennis Championships, in former West Germany on April 5, 1959.

Before the championships, the team had pinned their gold hopes on the men's team. But their dream of a world team title was destroyed by the Hungarian team in the semifinal match, losing three games to five.

After a chain of (一系列) unexpected defeats to Chinese favoured for the title, Rong carried the heavy hopes to make a breakthrough.

Rong's rival in the final was top Hungarian paddler Ferenc Sido.

Rong was seen as an underdog for the title as he had just lost to Sido in the team contest. Even the victory flowers were being prepared for Sido.

But much to the surprise of the 8000-member audience, Rong won three straight sets with a big margin 21-12, 21-15, and 21-14 after losing the first set 19-21. Until that very moment, Rong realized the promise he made one year ago, that was to win a world championship for his motherland.

Two years later at the 26th championship for his motherland.

Two years later at the 26th championships in Beijing, Rong led the Chinese men to win the team title.

After becoming the coach(教练) of the Chinese women's team, Rong led the team to the winners' podium at the 28th championships(锦标赛)in 1965.

名人英语小短文篇三：英文短文

A man is known by the company he keeps they say. If it is so,then everyone is bound to have their baggage of loneliness with them as companions. Loneliness is not something that doesn't exist at all with any human being on earth. Every human being feels lonely in his life at some point or other. It's but natural to have such feeling, because that's what makes us all human and that is why we are as we are now.

他们说人总是通过他身边的同伴为人所知的。如果是这样的话，每个人都注定与孤独为伴。孤独感是每个人都会有的，都会在某个时候，感到孤独，这是非常自然的。因为孤独感令我们成为人，并令我们成为现在的我们。

If we shed some light on why we feel aloof or lonely at times, we would be very much astonished or even probably surprised by the results. We ourselves are responsible for our selfdefined gloominess. This is because at times we really feel that we are uncared for or feel someone doesn't understand us.

如果我们留心思考为什么我们有的时候会觉得高处不胜寒或孤独时，我们会对分析的结果感到非常吃惊。我们自己应该对我们自己所定义的忧郁负责任。因为有的时候，我们真的觉得我们被忽视或者不被理解。

Sometimes we over analyze real life situations and have this growing sense of self pity inside us. This feeling always gives us thoughts which picturise us always receiving the wrong end of the stick in life.The truth might not always be true if we touch our heart and see. Its just that our expectations in life and from people around us or circumstances that we are facing,have got the better of us. Expectation is the silent killer which murders millions of mushy and time tested relationships. If there would have been no expectations from anyone, the world would have been a much better place to be. If there would have been no expectations,not many people would have had an aching heart and a life long grouse against there would have been better haves.If it wouldn't have been for ueasonable expectations not many couples would have divorced each other.

有的时候我们过度地分析了真实的情况，这令我们自己产生了自己怜悯自己的感觉。这种感觉经常会给我们错觉，如果我们扪心自问，真相并不总是真的，它们只是我们对身边人和环境过高的期待。期待是一个沉默的杀手，谋杀了无数亲密的和经过时间考验的关系。如果每个人都不去期待，这个世界将会变得更好。如果没有期待，就不会有那么多人感到心痛，而对于有些人，一生的埋怨也就不会那么长了。如果没有那些不切实际的期待，也就不会有那么多夫妻离婚了。

How to come out of expectations them? Good question. The answer is when you give something, don't expect anything in return. When our mother gave birth to us, she never expected that we will give birth to her.She has just fulfilled her desire to raise a family and live for them. In the same way, let our actions make us live for our self and let not expectation screw up the major portion of your lives. Let us have the freedom and will power to express our love, affection and longingness for people whenever we feel. Let us not restrict our freedom of expression just because he or she is not responding the way we want them to.

那么怎样才能跳出期待呢？好问题。答案是，当我们给予的时候，不要期待任何报答。我们的妈妈给予我们生命，决没有期望我们也给予她生命。她仅仅是完成了她拥有一个家庭并为之而活的理想。同样，让我们为自己而活，不要让期待成为你生命的大部分。让我们自由地

表达我们的爱，感动和渴望。当别人没有像我们期待的那样回应，我们也不要失去表达感情的自由。

Well all in all a little bit of loneliness is good for a self-analysis to keep a check over your actions. Introspection always makes you communicate with the inner self, but too much of introspection can make you scale the altitude of self pity. So show restrain at the right time.

当然，总的来说，一点点的孤独对一个人审视自己的行为是有好处的。自省总是会使你与你的心灵有所交流。但是过度的自省，会使我们总感觉遗憾，因此，还是适而可止的好。

Skinny jeans are awesome. They’re the ultimate pants for fashion lovers.

紧身牛仔裤真是棒极了，是时尚潮人们的基本必备。

They suit all body types because they flatter even the most flawed bottom-half. That’s because they can elongate and slim the leg, and make one’s butt look like an apple.

它适合所有身材，即便是下半身体型最糟糕的人，穿上紧身牛仔裤也能收获满意的效果。这是因为紧身牛仔能令腿部变得更纤长，使臀部看起来像个苹果。

They’re also very adaptable, providing a neutral base upon which people can build an outfit. They tuck into boots easily, and look equally good with heels.

此外，紧身牛仔裤还十分百搭，可以用其打底搭配出整体效果。它们可以轻易地塞进靴子里，配高跟鞋也很美。

However, recently there’s a public crossfire in the US about whether it’s a good idea to wear these sorts of jeans, or if its better we discard pants that are just too tight.

然而，近日，美国上下掀起一场关于紧身牛仔的激烈论战，人们质疑穿着这种紧身裤是否明智，是否该摒弃这种过紧的裤子。

There are plenty of horror stories associated with skinny jeans. They range from falling over and not being able to get up again because of how tight the jeans are, to experiencing numbness in the thighs.

关于紧身牛仔裤骇人听闻的报道层出不穷。有人因为紧身牛仔裤太紧以致于摔倒后站不起来，有人的穿上紧身牛仔裤后大腿麻痹失去知觉。

A latest Wall Street Journal article goes further, pointing out some scary health risks of our favorite skinny jeans.

《华尔街日报》近日的一篇文章更进一步指出，我们最爱的牛仔裤可能为健康带来可怕的威胁。

The article listed several symptoms of “skinny jean syndrome” including lower back pain, and in cases where the waistband is extremely tight, digestive issues and blood clots. 这篇文章中列举出一些“紧身牛仔综合征”的症状，包括腰痛症状，以及一些由于（牛仔裤）腰部过紧而导致的消化系统问题及血液凝块现象。

Friction caused by overly tight pants may lead to bladder infections.

过于紧身的牛仔裤所产生的摩擦可能导致膀胱感染的发生。

Plus, it causes nerve compression. A very tight pant leg can pinch a sensitive nerve in your upper thigh. And it stirs terrible burning and pain.

另外，紧身牛仔还会压迫神经。非常紧身的裤子会挤压到你大腿上部的敏感神经，产生剧烈的灼烧感和疼痛感。

Finally, a strange kind of disfigurement can occur when too-tight jeans force fatty tissue into areas above the knee. This causes horizontal lesions to appear around the thighs. They’ll end up looking like thigh donuts that are ugly.

最后，过于紧身的牛仔裤会将脂肪组织推到膝盖以上部位，从而产生一种奇怪的畸形。这会在大腿周围产生一系列横向的皮肤损伤，最终会使大腿看起来像是丑陋的甜甜圈。

Would you like to become a fashion victim? Or will you opt to upsize your skinny pants a bit?

你是想沦为时尚的牺牲品，还是选择把紧身牛仔裤的尺寸放宽一点？

Killer heels and belts 高跟鞋和腰带也暗藏杀机

Tight jeans aren’t the only fashion item on trial. The Wall Street Journal identified other trendy closet items with a dark side.

紧身牛仔裤并非唯一接受人们审判的时尚单品。《华尔街日报》同时也指出了其他一些暗藏弊端的时尚衣橱单品。

High heels: result in nerve and bone damage, and ankle sprains.

高跟鞋：“恨天高”会导致神经、骨骼受伤，脚踝扭伤。

Earrings: produce itchy red rashes and promote infection.

耳环：引发发痒红疹，并引起感染。

Tight belts: reduce oxygen intake, leading to light-headedness.

紧身腰带：减少摄氧量，引起轻微头痛。

Shirt collars and neckties: can cut off circulation to the brain, producing headaches, blurry vision and ringing ears, if you wear them too tight.

衬衫衣领和领带：如果你系得太紧，可能会切断通往大脑的血液循环，产生头痛，视线模糊及耳鸣等症状。

In a speech to mark the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne, she also paid a rare public tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, her “constant strength and guide”. Speaking in Westminster Hall, the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster, the Queen said the setting was a reminder of Britain’s history and “national story”.

To mark her Diamond Jubilee, MPs and peers have paid for a new stained-glasswindow for the 900-year-old hall, comprising her coat of arms.

“I have been privileged to witness some of that history and, with the support of my family, rededicate myself to the service of our great country and its people now and in the ye

ars to come.” Her words were widely interpreted as a signal of the 85 year-old’s determination to remain on the throne for the rest of her life.

As the Queen pointed out, she is only the second monarchto celebrate a Diamo(转 载于:wWw.zhAoQT.neT 蒲公 英文摘:名人英语小短文)nd Jubilee. Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years, the longest-serving monarch.

Members of the Royal family have said that the Duke’s unwaveringsupport has been essential to the Queen’s reign, but the couple themselves discuss their union only rarely. The Queen yesterday broke that habit with a warm joke about her husband’s irasciblepublic persona.

The Queen’s speeches to Parliament are usually written by the Government, but yesterday’s address was personal, and included gentle jokes about the many politicians she had seen come and go.

“As today, it was my privilege to address you during my Silver and Golden Jubilees. Many of you were present 10 years ago and some of you will recall the occasion in 1977,” she said.

Smiling, she added: “Since my accession, I have been a regular visitor to the Palace of Westminster and, at the last count, have had the pleasurable duty of treating with 12 prime ministers.”

Laughter spread through the hall as her audience realised that her choice of the word “pleasurable” may not have been altogether serious.

英国女王伊丽莎白二世昨日在威斯敏斯特大厅向议会发表登基60周年演讲，在演讲中，女王特别称赞丈夫菲利普亲王不断给予的力量和指引。女王称古老的威斯敏斯特大厅会让人们想起英国的历史和国家的故事。为了庆祝女王登基60周年，英国上下议院的议员们为女王订制了

一块彩绘玻璃窗作为献礼，这块绘有女王盾形纹章的玻璃将被镶嵌在有900年悠久历史的威斯敏斯特大厅里。

女王在演讲中这样表示：“我有幸见证一段历史。在我的家人的支持下，我会继续奉献为我们伟大的国家和人民服务。” 女王的这段演讲被广泛解读为现年85岁的她将继续执掌王座的决心。

女王指出她是英国历史上继维多利亚女王之后第二位在位时间超过60年的君主。维多利亚女王是英国历史上在位时间最长的君主，在位63年。

皇室家族成员经常会谈到菲利普亲王坚定不移的支持是女王统治的重要因素，但女王夫妇很少会在公开场合谈论对方，不过昨天女王打破惯例，就菲利普亲王性情暴躁的公共形象开了个温暖的玩笑。

女王向议会发表的演讲通常会由政府人员撰稿，但昨天的演讲很个人，女王还就她在位期间来来往往的各位政坛人物优雅地开了个玩笑。

女王说：“今天回头看看，在我登基25周年和50周年的时候我也曾经为你们发表演讲，这一点我表示很荣幸。你们当中有许多人10年前就在这儿，我相信你们中有些人也能回忆起1977年的场景。”

女王微笑着又补充道：“我在位期间是威斯敏斯特宫的常客。我自己统计了一下，已经与12位总理愉快地分担过责任。”

女王选择了并不算正式的“pleasurable” 这个词，这让威斯敏斯特大厅里的听众们全场欢笑。

Whether you are young or young at heart, it is never too late to change — or incorporate some new (and better) practices into your daily life. Here are 10 wise lessons that I wish I knew when I was younger:

不管你是真的风华正茂，或是心态年轻，改变，或让自己的生活吸收一些新的更好的尝试，永远为时不晚。

1. Don’t worry about what other people think of you.

走自己的路，让别人去说吧。

I used to worry too much what others thought of me, of my decisions and of my actions. Eventually, I came to realize that if you’re wasting too much time seeking validation, respect or approval from others, then you won’t have time to accomplish all that you desire. Everyone has an opinion, but in reality other’s opinions of you are based more on their history and perceptions than anything you’re actually doing.

我总是会太过担心别人对我的看法，他们会怎么看待我的决定和行为？我后来意识到，如果你把时间浪费在寻求别人的认可、尊重和支持，那你就根本无暇做你自己想做的事。人们都会有自己的看法，但实际上其他人对你的看法更多地基于他们自身的历史和认知，而并不是你实际在做的事情。

2. Today is what’s important.

活在当下。

Enjoy every moment of today, because you are not guaranteed a tomorrow. Don’t put off your dreams. Don’t wait to do, try, enjoy all of those “someday” items. If it’s important to you, then DO IT TODAY. Pay attention to what is happening now, to the people around you, to the task at hand and to all of the choices you make today, big and small. 享受今天的每分每秒，因为你无法保证明天就一定会到来。不要拖延自己的梦想，别等到“将来某一天”再去做，去尝试，去享受。如果真的很重要，那就只争朝夕今天就做！关注正在发生的事情，身边的人，手上的工作，关注今天做出的选择，无论大小。

3. Let it go.

学会放手。

What happened yesterday is over. Those unmet expectations, difficult situations, failures and conflicts are in the past. You can’t change it, so let it go. Don’t waste your energy dwelling on anger, resentment or disappointment. It only keeps you stuck in the past and holds you back from moving forward in your life.

昨日种种譬如昨日死，那些没有实现的期待，那些艰难困苦、失败和冲突都已成为过去，你无力改变，所以干脆放手。别把自己的精力浪费在纠结着生气、愤恨和失望这些负面情绪上，这些只会让你沉湎过去，让你停滞不前。

4. It’s called work for a reason.

付出总会有回报。

Success at anything takes work. When you hear about an overnight success story, don’t forget about all of the work that came before. You may have to do work you do not enjoy and trudge through the trenches of planning, building, refining, moving up, out, over and redefining before you get to the place where success clicks. Keep going.
