1、狗和影子(The Dog and the Shadow)It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

一只狗嘴里衔着一块肉，走过一条河上面的桥，看见他自己在水里的影子，以为是另一只狗，那时狗衔着的肉，比他自己的还要大一倍。因此他仍掉自己的那一块，狠狠地扑向那只狗，想夺到那一块较大的肉。结果两头都落了空，因为他想要抓取在水中的那一块，只不过是一个影子，而原来的那一块，也被水冲走了。

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

谨记，切莫因追逐幻影而丢失已有的东西。

1. Feeling in Snow

As soon as I walked outside, I was greeted with the shimmering white blanket of cold. Despite the chill overwhelming my skin, inside I was warm. I felt as though I could be giving off heat; I had the desire to stay out in this freeze for hours. It was the type of day that speaks to you through its elements; I took a deep breath to hear more snow was coming.

As I walked I looked up, trying to realize what made this day so beautiful, so serene. It was as if time had been put temporarily on hold and I along with it. Or maybe I was the only one unpaused…Either way, the solitude was comforting, and I sensed myself floating away. I sat down on the edge of a curb and listened. All there was to hear was the wind rushing over the top of my head and circling some old, cracking leaves some yards away. To me it was the reassuring sound of nature, trying not to be forgotten.

It did start to snow. None of those little flurries, but big, fat flakes which clung immediately to their surface.

Then it was time to go and my reverie had to end. As I began walking again, I drifted back into this time frame, calm and cleared.

Now if only I could remember where I was going.

中文：雪天随想

刚出门，便扑面而来一大片晶莹雪白的冰凉。冷气袭来，肌肤阵阵战栗，而内心却温暖如初。觉得自己似乎能发热，因而渴望在这寒冷中长时间驻足。这是一个大自然与你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口气，静听雪花飘落，源源不绝。

漫步雪中，举目四顾，我努力思索是什么竟然能够把这一天变得如此美丽和宁静。那一刻，时间仿佛静止了，而我也定在其中。或者，只有我一个人在前行……

无论如何，这种孤寂却令人欣慰。我仿佛脱离了尘世。坐在路边，仔细聆听。只有风从头顶掠过，卷走几码远的干枯树叶。在我心中，这是大自然给人安慰、令人难忘的声音。

真的下雪了！不是零星小雪，而是鹅毛大雪，一落地就凝结在一起了。

该结束沉思离开了！我举步前行时，思绪又转回到现实中来，而此时感觉如此平静，如此清新。

我实在记不得我要往何处去了！

2.生活的乐趣

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

中文翻译：

生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪，信赖这些情绪，并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的，也无法用戴上一张面具来伪装。拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边，他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中，也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人，犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。

直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们，它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入，而非所求。 3.我命运，我把握（不断超越自己）

正如世界上没有两片相同的叶子，我们每个人都是独一无二的。相信自己，命运就掌握在我们的手中。

Consider… YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…

You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!

You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.

Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.

Paint a Masterpiece.

God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.

试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是以往还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。你在历史上和宇宙中都是独一无二的。哇！想想吧，你是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的。

在无穷无尽的宇宙中，你是举世无双的。

你是了不起的！你是卓越的！没错，就是你。你已经是了不起的，是卓越的，你还可以更卓越更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，而美丽的老人却是艺术的杰作。但你不会因为年龄的渐长就自然而然地变得“美丽”。

真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学，有时候或许会很痛苦。又或许你可以选择加速自己的成长，故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。

画出一幅杰作吧。

上帝给了鸟儿食物，但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做决定的还是你自己。

4. 掌握未来：我们正在起跑点

"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 like 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 reminder 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 effect it. Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

中文：

“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……”

我不知道这段文字是谁写的，我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己，那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。

我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。

我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来，因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。

往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。我们的所作所为都会影响未来。只要我们体会的出来，每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们的事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。

Angel

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

One day the child asked God: "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but

how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God replied: "Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for

you and will take care of you."

"But, " said the child: "tell me here in Heaven I don‘t anything else but sing and smile.

That‘s what I need to be happy!"

God said: "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will

feel your angel‘s love and be happy."

"And," said the child: "how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, If

I don‘t know the language that men talk?"

"That‘s easy", said God: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words

you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

The child looked up at God saying: "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God smiled at the child saying: "Your angel will Place your hands together and will

teach you how to pray."

The child said: "I‘ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will Protect me?"

God put his arm around the child, saying: "Your angel will defend you - even if it means

risking life!"

The child looked sad, saying: "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God hugged the child: "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you

the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be

heard.

The child, in a hurry, asked softly: "Oh God, if I am about to leave now Please tell my

Angel’s name!"

God replied: "Your angel‘s name is of no importance...you will simply call her MOMMY!"

有一个婴儿即将出生。

一天，这个小孩问上帝，“他们告诉我明天你将要把我送到地球，不过为什么我在那儿会那么小和无助呢？”

上帝说，“在所有的天使之中，我已经选中了一个给你。她将会等待你和照顾你。”

“不过”，小孩问了，“请告诉我－－在天堂我除了歌唱和微笑之外什么都不做。这些是我快乐所需要的！”

上帝说，“你的天使每天将会为你歌唱和微笑。你将会感受到你的天使的爱，你会感到快乐。”

“还有”，小孩又问了，“如果我不懂他们说的语言，当人们对我说话的时候我怎样才会理解呢？”

“这很简单，”上帝说，“你的天使将教会你语言中最美丽和最甜蜜的词语，带着最大的耐心和关怀，你的天使将教会你怎样说话。

小孩抬头看着上帝说，“我想和你说话的时候我该怎么做呢？”

上帝微笑着对小孩说，“你的天使会把你的双手放在一起然后教会你怎样祈祷。”

小孩说，“我听说地球上有坏人，谁将会保护我呢？”

上帝把手放在小孩身上，说，“你的天使将会保护你，甚至会冒生命的危险！”

小孩看起来有些悲伤，他说，“我将会一直感到悲伤因为我再也看不到你了。”

上帝拥抱着小孩。“你的天使以后会一直跟你说有关我的事情，还会教你回到我身边的方法，虽说我一直与你同在。”

在这一刻小孩在天堂感到了无比的安详，不过已经可以听到从地球传来的声音。。。。

小孩有点急促，温柔的问“上帝啊，如果我现在将要离开，请告诉我我的天使的名字！”

上帝回答说，你的天使的名字并不那么重要，你可以简单的叫她—— “妈妈”。

英语哲理小短文，带翻译，几篇英语故事。

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.

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。

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. Sun Yat-Sen, 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。

我们国父孙中山先生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。中华民国诞生了。

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。

A real hero is not how many things he destroyed,but how many things he protected.A real hero is not behaving like a bully,but face enemies who are stronger.

真正的大侠不是看他摧毁了什么，而是看他保护了什么；不是恃强凌弱，而是面对强者。

英语哲理性小短文带翻译50字

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,

"Richness, can you take me with you?"

Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"

"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"

"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

爱与时间

很久很久以前，(所有的)情感/情绪都住在一个岛上，有：快乐/幸福，悲伤，知识和其它所有的情感，包括爱。有一天，情感们收到通知，这个岛将要沉没，于是他们都造了船准备离开，除了爱。

爱是唯一留下来的，爱想坚持到最后的可能的时刻。

当小岛几乎要沉没时，爱决定寻求帮助。

富有乘着他的豪华的船只从爱前面经过，爱说：“富有，你能带我跟你一起走吗？”

富有答道：“不，我不能，我的船上有太多的金子和银子，已经没有地方让你坐了。”

爱决定向同样从她面前经过的乘着漂亮的船只的空虚求助，“空虚，请你帮帮我！”

“我帮不了你，爱，你浑身湿透了，可能会弄坏我的船的，”空虚说。

悲伤走近了，于是爱说，“悲伤，让我跟你走吧。”

“哦.....爱，我是如此的悲伤，我只想做我自己！”

快乐也从爱面前过去了，但是她太开心了，以至于她根本没有听到爱叫过她。

突然，有个声音传来：“快点，爱，我来带你走。”这是一个老者，爱感到如此的幸福（受祝福的）狂喜，她甚至忘了问老者他们要去哪里。当他们到达干燥的地面后，老者自己走了，爱意识到自己多么亏欠老者啊，于是她问另外一位老者－－知识，“是谁帮了我？”

“是时间，”知识回答。

“时间？”爱问，“为什么时间会帮我？”

知识意味深长（deep wisdom的意译）的笑了，说，“因为只有时间才能懂得爱的价值”

" he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood. The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it . 　Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks. " Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands. "Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. " United we stand ; divided we fall.

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.
