3. 簡單的英語小故事，六年級水平。

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his GREat surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

很久以前的一個很遠的小村莊里，有一個以"千鏡屋"而著名的地方。一個樂觀的小狗聽說了這個地方並決定去參觀。當來到這個地方，他蹦蹦跳歡恰快的上了台階，來到房門口，他高高豎起耳朵，歡快地搖著尾巴，從門口往裡張望，他驚奇地看到有1000隻歡樂的小狗像他一樣快的搖尾巴。他燦爛地微笑著，回報他的是1000張熱情，友好的燦爛笑臉。離開時他心想："這是一個精彩的地主，我一定要經常來參觀。"

在這個村裡還有另一隻想參觀"千鏡屋"的小狗，他不及第一隻小狗樂觀，他慢吞吞地爬上台階，然後耷拉著腦袋往屋子裡看。一看到有1000隻小狗不友好地盯著他，他便開始沖他們狂吠，鏡中的1000隻小狗也沖著他狂吠，把他給嚇壞了，他在離開時心想："這是一個恐怖的地方，我再也不會來了。"

世界上所有的臉都是鏡子，在你所遇見的人的臉上你看到反射出來的是什麼?

人生哲理故事之二《釘子》

有一個男孩有著很壞的脾氣，於是他的父親就給了他一袋釘子；並且告訴他，每當他發脾氣的時候就釘一根釘子在後院的圍籬上。
第一天，這個男孩釘下了37根釘子。慢慢地每天釘下的數量減少了。
他發現控制自己的脾氣要比釘下那些釘子來得容易些。
終於有一天這個男孩再也不會失去耐性亂發脾氣，他告訴他的父親這件事，父親告訴他，現在開始每當他能控制自己的脾氣的時候，就拔出一根釘子。
一天天地過去了，最後男孩告訴他的父親，他終於把所有釘子都拔出來了。
父親握著他的手來到後院說：你做得很好，我的好孩子。但是看看那些圍籬上的洞，這些圍籬將永遠不能回復成從前。你生氣的時候說的話將像這些釘子一樣留下疤痕。如果你拿刀子捅別人一刀，不管你說了多少次對不起，那個傷口將永遠存在。話語的傷痛就像真實的傷痛一樣令人無法承受。
註：人與人之間常常因為一些彼此無法釋懷的堅持，而造成永遠的傷害。如果我們都能從自己做起，開始寬容地看待他人，相信你一定能收到許多意想不到的結果....幫別人開啟一扇窗，也就是讓自己看到更完整的天空....

French Enlightenment thinkers cloth closure once said: "Genius is the long-term persistence." Our country has a well-known mathematician Hua said: "The governance of knowledge, to do research work, we must persevere ... ..." Indeed, no matter what we do, it is necessary to the success of perseverance and the spirit of perseverance are essential.

Darwin, such as day two studies biology, irrespective of the waves in the wind urgent investigation of ocean-going ship, or the primitive conditions at the laboratory, he has always been persistent, finally found the laws of biological evolution. Mendeleev have in all aspects of the research object to him, the study still insist, and finally developed a complete periodic table. Faraday's law of electromagnetic inction have put forward, the discovery of the laws of Mendelian inheritance, which is not the same as the result of long-term persistence? It can be seen, where in science are making up with the spirit of perseverance.

Scientific research in the case, The same is true of other aspects. Goethe-sixties perseverance and finally to create a giant macro chapter for "Faust"; Beethoven after hearing persistent, and ultimately create a great "Symphony of destiny"; it can be seen, whether in the scientific, literary, artistic or any other aspect, it is necessary to the success of perseverance are essential.

Such a person, a nation, a country even more so. Eight-year war, the Chinese people always persevere, even in the most difficult times did not give up, eventually defeated the invaders, and achieved victory.

To sum up, no matter who, no matter what, to be successful we must persevere, we are also students. The primary school stage, our main task is to study the knowledge, to acquire new skills. As Marx said, "In science there is no flat on the road to go", and so in the course of our study, the spirit of perseverance is essential. It can be said that a student, in order to score in the study made, it is necessary to persevere in the pursuit of knowledge; a student, only the pursuit of knowledge with a spirit of perseverance in order to succeed in learning.

Students, when you difficult to live a successful mix of pace, when the failure of progressive ambition hurt you, when the burden of weight when you breathless, not to retreat, not to give up, do not hesitate, we must persevere, because only insist can lead to unremitting success.

法國啟蒙思想家布封曾說過：「天才就是長期的堅持不懈。」我國著名數學家華羅庚也曾說：「治學問，做研究工作，必須持之以恆……」的確，無論我們干什麼事，要取得成功，堅持不懈的毅力和持之以恆的精神都是必不可少的。

達爾文二十年如一日研究生物學，無論在風急浪高的遠洋考察船上，還是在條件簡陋的實驗室里，他始終堅持不懈，最終發現了生物進化的規律。門捷列夫在各方面人士都反對他的研究的情況下，仍堅持研究，終於制定了完備的元素周期表。還有法拉第電磁感應定律的提出，孟德爾遺傳規律的發現，哪一樣不是長期堅持不懈的結果?由此可見，凡在科學上有所建樹者都是具有持之以恆的精神的。

科學研究如此，其它方面也是如此。歌德六十年堅持不懈，最終創作出了宏篇巨作《浮士德》;貝多芬失聰後依然堅持不懈，最終創作出了偉大的《命運交響曲》;由此可見，無論是在科學、文學、藝術或是其它任何方面，要取得成功，堅持不懈的毅力都是必不可少的。

一個人如此，一個民族、一個國家更是如此。八年抗戰，中國人民始終堅持不懈，即使在最困難的時刻也未放棄，最終打敗了侵略者，取得了勝利。

綜上所述，無論什麼人，無論干什麼，要取得成功就必須堅持不懈，我們學生也是如此。小學階段，我們的主要任務是學習知識，掌握技能。正如馬克思所說，「在科學上沒有平坦的大路可走」，因此，在我們學習的過程中，堅持不懈的精神就是必不可少的。可以這么說，一個學生，要想在學習上取得成績，就必須對知識堅持不懈的追求;一個學生，只有具備了堅持不懈追求知識的精神，才能在學習上取得成功。

同學們，當困難拌住你成功腳步的時候，當失敗挫傷你進取雄心的時候，當負擔壓得你喘不過氣的時候，不要退縮，不要放棄，不要裹足不前，一定要堅持下去，因為只有堅持不懈才能通向成功。

希望對你有幫助

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's 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." Upon 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.

一隻小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到後，便想找一個名正言順的借口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，並且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成，又說道：「我父親去年被你罵過。」小羊說，那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說：「不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會放過 你。」

Will Give It to the Lord Myself
An old man put a dollar on the Salvation Army drum and asked a young man on the left:
"What do you do with the money?"
"Give it to the Lord."
"How old are you,young man?"
"Twenty-one."
"I am eighty-nine," said the old man as he recovered his dollar from the drum. "You don't need to bother. I will more likely see the Lord before you do, and I will give it to the Lord myself."

我將親手把它交給上帝
一個老人把一美圓放在救世軍(基督教的一種傳教組織,編制仿部隊形式)軍鼓上後，向左邊的一個年輕人問道，
「你用錢來做些什麼？」
「把它（錢）交給上帝。」
「你多大了，年輕人？」
「21歲。」
「我已經89了」，老人邊說邊把鼓上的錢收回。「你不用擔心這個了，看起來我更加有可能比你先去見上帝，我將自己親手把它交給上帝。」
（這則故事大概的意思是救世軍在向百姓籌集捐款時發生的。年輕人應該是救世軍的一員）

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 st.

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 st and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【譯文】

一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。

他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。」

他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。

不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有隻鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一個水瓶，以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。

這是說，有些人想急於得到所需的東西，一時沖動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。

The Raven and the Swan烏鴉和天鵝

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經常洗澡，羽毛才變得如此潔白無 瑕。於是，他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇，來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 點都沒洗白，反而因缺少食物飢餓而死。

這故事是說，人的本性不會隨著生活方式的改變而改變。

The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊與牧羊人

A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈裡。有一隻山羊不知在吃什麼好東西，單獨落在後面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去，正巧打斷了山羊的一隻角。牧羊人嚇得請求山羊不要告訴主人， 山羊說：「即使我不說，又怎能隱瞞下去呢？我的角已斷了，這是十分明顯的事實。」

這故事說明，明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。

The Miser守財奴

A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."

有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產，換回了金塊，並秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走後，挖出金塊拿走了。 守財奴再來時，發現洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲痛，問明原因後， 說道：「喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但並不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心裡想著那是塊金子，你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什麼不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時，也從沒用過。」

這故事說明，一切財物如不使用等於沒有。

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's 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." Upon 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.

一隻小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到後，便想找一個名正言順的借口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，並且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成，又說道：「我父親去年被你罵過。」小羊說，那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說：「不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會放過 你。」

這說明，對惡人做任何正當的辯解也是無效的。

The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠與黃鼠狼

A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黃鼠狼叼去，他請求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會放過他，自己生來痛恨鳥類。蝙蝠說他是老鼠，不是鳥，便被放了。後來蝙蝠又掉落了下來，被另一隻黃鼠狼叼住，他再三請求不要吃他。這只黃鼠狼說他恨一切鼠類。蝙蝠改口說自己是鳥類，並非老 鼠，又被放了。這樣，蝙蝠兩次改變了自己的名字，終於死裡逃生。

這故事說明，我們遇事要隨機應變方能避免危險。

The Ass and the Grasshopper 驢子與蚱蜢

AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
驢子聽見蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙動聽的歌聲所打動，自己也想能發出同樣悅耳動聽的聲音，便 羨慕地問他們吃些什麼，才能發出如此美妙的聲音來。蚱蜢答道：「吃露水。」驢子便也只吃露水，沒多久就餓死了。

這個故事告訴人們不要企望非份之物
