英語幽默小故事：
West Point
My father, brother and I visited West Point to see a football game between Army and Boston College. Taking a stroll before kickoff, we met many cadets in neatly pressed uniforms. Several visting fans asked the recruits if they would pose for photographs, "to show our son what to expect if he should attend West Point."
One middle-aged couple approached a very attractive female cadet and asked her to pose for a picture. They explained, "We want to show our son what he missed by not coming to West Point."
父親、哥哥和我到西點軍校去觀看一場陸軍與波士頓大學之間的橄欖球賽。開始之前，我們到處轉了轉，碰到許多穿著整齊制服的學員。幾名遊客問新兵是否願意擺出軍姿來讓他們攝。「好讓我們的兒子知道，如果他到西點軍校來學習會得到什麼。」
一對中年夫婦走近一名非常漂亮的女學員，問她是否願意擺個姿勢照相。他們解釋說：「我們想讓兒子知道他沒來西點軍校錯過了什麼。」
(6)Present for Girlfriend
At a jewelry store, a young man bought an expensive locket as a present for his girlfriend. "Shall I engrave her name on it?" the jeweler asked.
The customer thought for a moment, and then said, "No-engrave it 『To my one and only love『. That way, if we ever break up, I can use it again."
送給女友的禮物
在一家珠寶店裡，一位年輕人買了一個貴重的小金盒作為送給女友的禮物。「要我把她的名字刻在上面嗎?」珠寶商問道。
那名顧客想了一會兒，然後說道：「不--在上面刻『給我唯一的愛』。這樣，如果我們鬧崩了，我還可以再用到它。」
Be Careful What You Wish For
A couple had been married for 25 years and were celebrating their 60th birthdays, which fell on the same day.
During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple for all 25 years, she would give them one wish each.
The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved her hand, and Boom! She had the tickets in her hand.
Next, it was the husband『s turn. He paused for a moment, then said shyly, "Well, I『d like to have a woman 30 years younger than me."
The fairy picked up her wand, and Boom! He was ninety.
慎重許願
一對結婚25周年的夫妻在慶祝他們六十歲的生日。他們恰好在同一天出生。
慶祝活動中，一位仙女出現了。她說，由於他們是已經結婚25年的恩愛夫妻，因此她給許給這對夫妻每個人一個願望。
妻子想周遊世界。仙女招了招手。「呯!」的一聲，她的手中出現了一張票。
接下來該丈夫許願了。他猶豫片刻，害羞地說，「那我想要一位比我年輕30歲的女人。」
仙女拾起了魔術棒。「呯!」，他變成了90歲。
Wood Fire
One woman lectured her best friend on the nature of the male animal. "Husbands are like wood fires; they go out if left unattened."
"Does that mean," asked the other, "that they make ashes of themselves?"

Best Reward
A naval officer fell overboard. He was rescued by a deck hand. The officer asked how he could reward him.

Napoleon Was Ill
Jack had gone to the university to study history, but at the end of his first year, his history professor failed him in his examinations, and he was told that he would have to leave the university. However, his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge him to let Jack continue his studies the following year.
"He『s a good boy," said Jack『s father, "and if you let him pass this time, I『m sure he『ll improve a lot next year and pass the examinations at the end of it really well."
"No, no, that『s quite impossible," replied the professor immediately. "Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon had died, he didn『t know!"
"Please, sir, give him another chance," said Jack『s father. "You see, I『m afraid we don『t take any newspaper in our house, so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill."
拿破崙病了
傑克到一所大學去學歷史。第一學期結束時，歷史課教授沒讓他及格。學校讓他退學。然而，傑克的父親決定去見教授，強烈要求讓傑克繼續來年的學業。
「他是個好孩子，」傑克的父親說：「您要是讓他這次及格，我相信他明年會有很大進步，學期結束時，他一定會考好的。」
「不，不，那不可能，」教授馬上回答。「你知道嗎?上個月我問他拿破崙什麼時候死的，他都不知道。」
「先生，請再給他一次機會吧。」傑克的父親說：「你不知道，恐怕是因為我們家沒有訂報紙。我們家的人連拿破崙病了都不知道。」
He Was Only Wrong by Two
Jack Hawkins was the football coach at an Amercian college, and he was always trying to find good players, but they weren『t always smart enought to be accepted by the college.
One day the coach brought an excellent young player to the dean of the college and asked that the student be allowed to enter without an examination. "Well," the dean said after some persuasion, "I『d better ask him a few questions first."
Then he turned to the student and asked him some very easy questions, but the student didn『t know any of the answers.
At last the dean said, "Well, what『s five times seven?"
The student thought for a long time and then answered, "Thirty-six."
The dean threw up his hands and looked at the coach in despair, but the coach said earnestly, "Oh, please let him in, sir! He was only wrong by two."
他的得數只比正確答案多二

有一天，教練帶著一位優秀的年輕球員去見院長，希望院方同意他免試入學。經過一番勸說後院長說：「那我最好先問問他幾個問題。」
然後他轉向學生，問了幾個非常簡單的問題。可是那個學生一個也答不上來。
最後院長說：「那麼，五乘七得多少?」
學生想了很久，然後回答說：「三十六。」
院長攤開雙手失望地看了看教練。可是教練認真地說，「噢，錄取他吧，先生。他的答案只比正確答案多二。」
Real Play
When I taught the introction-to-theater course at North Dakota State University, I required my students to attend the university theater『s current proction and write a critique. After viewing a particularly fine performance, one student wrote: "The play was so real, I thought I was actually sitting on my couch at home, watching it on television."
逼真的戲劇
我在北達科他州立大學教戲劇入門課時，要求學生們去看學校劇團當時的演出，並寫一篇評論。看了一場極為精彩的演出後，一名學生寫道：「這部戲劇是如此逼真，以致於我認為我自己是坐在家裡的沙發上，從電視上看到的。」
A Fine Match
One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. She was very afraid of mouse, so she ran out of the house, got into a bus and went to the shops. There she bought a mousetrap. The shopkeeper said to her, "Put some cheese in it and you will soon catch that mouse."
The lady went home with her mousetrap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it. She did not want to go back to the shop, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.
Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning she found a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
勢均力敵

這位女士帶著鼠夾回到家裡，但她沒有在碗櫥里找到乳酪。她不想再回到商店裡去，因為已經很晚了。於是，她就從一份雜志中剪下一幅乳酪的圖片放進了夾子。
令人稱奇的是，這畫有乳酪的圖片竟然奏效了!第二天早上，這位女士下樓到廚房時，發現鼠夾里乳酪圖片旁有一張畫有老鼠的圖片!
Gardening Gloves
For months I hinted that I needed a new wedding ring, since I had developed an allergy to gold. On my birthday, while I was gardening, my husband asked me for gift suggestions. I held my hands up and said, "Well, you『ll notice that my hands are bare."
Later that evening I opened my present with enthusiasm. "Happy birthday," he said, as I unwrapped a new pair of gardening gloves.
園藝手套
幾個月以來，我一直在向丈夫暗示我需要一枚新的結婚戒指，因為我對黃金有點過敏。生日那天，我正在干園藝活時，丈夫問我想要什麼禮物。我舉起雙手說：「嗯，你肯定看到了，我的兩手都是光光的。」
那天晚上，我滿懷熱情地拆開了丈夫送的禮物。「生日快樂!」他說。我打開一看：裡麵包著一雙園藝手套。
Warning
Several weeks after our son began his freshman year at Alma College in Michigan, my husband and I decided to visit him. I was careful to call him a few days in advance to "warn" him that we would be coming. When we arrived at the dorm, however, I was taken aback by the disarray of his room. "Forgot we were coming, didn『t you?" I teased.
"Are you kidding?" he replied, "Why else would I have bothered to clean?"
提醒
我們的兒子是密歇根州阿爾馬大學的新生，開學幾個星期之後，我和丈夫決定去看看他。我特意提前給他打電話，「提醒」他我們將光臨。但是當我們來到宿舍時，他的房間凌亂不堪，我非常吃驚。「忘了我們要來，是吧?」我取笑他。
「開什麼玩笑?「，他回答說，「要不我憑什麼費神打掃?」
Ground Rules
One of my favorite teachers at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau was known of his droll sense of humor. Explaining his ground rules to one freshman class, he said, "Now I know my lectures can often be dry and boring, so I don『t mind if you look at your watches ring class. I do, however, object to your pounding them on the desk to make sure they『re still running."
基本原則
位於吉拉多海角的密蘇里東南州立大學有一位我非常喜歡的老師，他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在對一個新生班級講解他的基本原則時，他說：「我知道我的講課可能經常會枯燥乏味，了無生趣，所以如果你們在上課時看錶我並不介意。不過我堅決反對你們將表在課桌上猛敲看它們是不是還在走。」

C. 求英語勵志故事
正所謂「無心插柳柳成蔭」，目標北大，只考上杭州師院；三年高考，一年數學成績1分，一年成績19分。大學畢業後，馬雲當了6年半的英語老師。期間，他成立了杭州首家外文翻譯社，用業余時間接了一些外貿單位的翻譯活。馬雲說，「我當年學英語，我沒有想
到後來英文幫了我的大忙。所以，做任何事情只要你喜歡，只要你認為對的，就可以去做。如果你思考問題功利性很強的話，肯定會遇到麻煩的。」
後來這位「杭州最棒的英語老師」因為英語好的原因，受浙江省交通廳委託到美國催討一筆債務，結果是債沒討成，卻促成了他與互聯網的十年姻緣。
互聯網本來就是「舶來品」，馬雲流利的英語賦予他一張「國際通行證」，使得他有機會征服《福布斯》記者，早早登上了《福布斯》的封面；使得他可以結交楊致遠、孫正義甚至比爾柯林頓這樣的人物；使得他可以穿梭在達沃斯論壇，讓大家記住阿里巴巴。
這些都促成了馬雲的國際化視野，使他能弄來資金，做自己想做的事情。
馬雲說，自己一直學習不好，但仍有得意之處，那就是英語。
在中學時期馬雲常常清晨跑到西湖邊找老外「聊天」；大學幾年他幾乎每天都一個人跑到賓館門口跟老外「對話」。馬雲說，自己學的雖是「山寨」英文，卻為以後創業創造了機會。英語好，他才能念杭州師范大學外語系，才能做英語老師，才有機會到美國接觸互聯網，也才有了後來的阿里巴巴。
創辦阿里巴巴之後，在國內土生土長的馬雲可以很輕松地向海外用戶作精彩演講，「水平絲毫不差於國內演講」。進入大學校園的馬雲還將往日打架的勁頭轉到學生工作上，不僅順利當選為學校學生會主席，還再接再厲登上了杭州市學聯主席的位置，對於一個二流高校學生來說，這幾乎是個奇跡。畢業之後，馬雲成了唯一到高校任教的本科畢業生。
如果亞運會、世乒賽和奧運會的冠軍是我乒乓球生涯的三大滿貫，那麼清華獲得學士學位、諾丁漢大學碩士畢業和取得劍橋博士，就是我要完成的另一項大滿貫。
——鄧亞萍
1997年退役進入清華大學，2001年拿下學士學位，同年9月進入英國諾丁漢大學，2002年12月12日，獲碩士學位，同年進入英國劍橋大學經濟學專業攻讀博士學位。鄧亞萍用求學路上一路奮斗的故事講述了一個世界冠軍求學的懸梁歲月……
清華：從寫26個英文字母開始
「臨近退役時，我便開始設計自己將來的路，有人認為運動員只能在自己熟悉的運動項目中繼續工作，而我就是要證明：運動員不僅能夠打好比賽，同時也能做好其他事情。哪天我不當運動員了，我的新起點也就開始了。」鄧亞萍說。
「1996年底，我被薩老提名為國際奧委會運動委員會委員。我明白，這既是國際奧委會的重用和信任，也是一次嚴峻的挑戰。奧委會的辦公語言是英語(論壇)和法語。然而，這時我的英語基礎幾乎是零，法語也是一竅不通。面對如此重要的工作崗位和自己外語水平的反差，我心裡急得火上房。」
1996年亞特蘭大奧運會結束後，鄧亞萍以英語專業本科生的身份初進清華時，她的英文幾乎是一張白紙，既沒有英文的底子，更別說有口語交流的能力。
「懷著興奮而又忐忑的心情邁進清華大學。老師想看看我的水平——你寫出26個英文字母看看。我費了一陣心思總算寫了出來，看著一會兒大寫、一會兒小寫的字母，我有些不好意思——老師，就這個樣子了。但請老師放心，我一定努力！」
「上課時老師的講述對我而言無異於天書，我只能盡力一字不漏地聽著、記著，回到宿舍，再一點點翻字典，一點點硬啃硬記。我給自己制定了學習計劃：一切從零開始，堅持三個第一—從課本第一頁學起，從第一個字母、第一個單詞背起；一天必須保證14個小時的學習時間，每天5點准時起床，讀音標、背單詞、練聽力，直到正式上課；晚上整理講義，溫習功課，直到深夜12點。」由於全身心地投入學習，鄧亞萍幾乎完全取消了與朋友的聚會及無關緊要的社會活動，就連給父母打電話的次數也大大減少。為了提高自己的聽力和會話能力，她除了定期光顧語音室，還買來多功能復讀機。由於總是一邊聽磁帶，一邊跟著讀。同學們總是跟她開玩笑：「亞萍，你成天讀個不停，當心嘴唇磨出繭子呀！」「但我相信：沒有超人的付出，就不會有超人的成績。這也是我多年闖盪賽場的切身體驗。」
學習是緊張的，每天的課程都排得滿滿的。除學習之外，鄧亞萍每周還要三次往返幾十里路到國家隊訓練基地進行訓練，疲勞程度可想而知。
「每天清晨起床時，我都會發現枕頭上有許多頭發，梳頭的時候也會有不少頭發脫落下來。對此我並不太在意，倒是教練和隊友見到我十分驚訝：『小鄧，你怎麼了？』我說：『沒什麼，可能是學習的用腦和打球的用腦不一樣吧。』」
「雖然都是一個『苦』字，但此時的我卻有不一樣的感受：以前當運動員，訓練累得實在動不了，只要一聽到加油聲，一咬牙，挺過來了；遇到了難題、關坎，教練一點撥，通了；比賽遇到困難，觀眾一陣吼聲，勁頭上來了，轉危為安。但讀書呢，常常要一個人孤零零面壁苦思，那種清苦、孤獨是另一種折磨，沒意志、沒恆心是堅持不下去的。」
為了更快地掌握英語，幾位英語老師建議鄧亞萍到國外去學習一段時間，在他們的熱心幫助下，經清華大學和國家體育總局批准，1998年初，剛在清華讀了幾個月的鄧亞萍作為交換生被送到英國劍橋大學突擊英語。
劍橋：每天凌晨5點起床攻讀
1998年2月26日鄧亞萍懷著復雜的心情，飛向劍橋。對她來說，這自然是非常難得的機會，但卻又是一個艱難的起步。
「第二天就是開學上課的日子，全班一共9個同學，教室不大，9張課桌椅向著黑板，擺成半圓形。老師先讓大家做自我介紹。接下來給每人發了兩張講義就開始講課，課堂上沒什麼紀律，講解方式也很隨意，老師一邊講課，同學們一邊七嘴八舌地搶著回答問題。我在雲山霧罩中上完了課。四五個星期過去了，每天十五、六個小時的付出，但收效並不大，英語水平的提高也不顯著。作為一個插班生要趕上其他同學困難太大。加上沒有教材，每次上課才能拿到老師發的講義，這種教學方法也很難讓我適應。」
「生活的環境也不盡如人意。到英國留學的留學生，多數都是住在學校所安排的英國人家裡，我也不例外。本想住在英國人家裡，一來可以更多地了解英國的風俗民情，二來可以有更多的英語會話機會。但是我所居住的這個女房東家，距學校太遠，而且房費伙食費很高，每月除了要交200多英鎊房租，還要交 100多英鎊飯費，兩項合起來每月的支出約合人民幣將近5000元。對於自費到英國上學的我來說，惜金和惜時同樣重要。」
「記得當我頭一次穿著防雨運動衣，騎著自行車到學校時，許多同學見了都大為不解：怎麼世界冠軍還騎自行車來上學？是啊，世界冠軍也是凡人，我的所有，是我用汗水換來的，它來之不易，我必須十分珍惜它。學習和生活上的困難困擾著我，我急切盼望能改變這種狀況。」
「剛到英國不久，我想往家寄點錢，然而到郵局拿了單子，卻不知如何填寫，郵局的人在單子上指指點點，我卻一臉茫然，我站在郵局前，兩眼發呆，我能怎麼辦？問誰去？問了，自己還是聽不懂，最後，只好悻悻而歸。」
「開學前，為了讓我熟悉一下環境，房東開車送我去學校轉了一圈。第二天人家不送了，我雖然買了輛自行車，卻找不到上學的路了，七拐八拐，趕到學校已經上課了。一向守時的我成了遲到生。我急得迸出幾個單詞解釋，然而解釋不明白，那滋味，那窘迫，現在都忘不了！」
鄧亞萍就讀的紐漢姆學院是隸屬劍橋大學的一所小學院，類似於國內的語言進修學院。這里的學生主要以外國留學生為主，而鄧亞萍是唯一來自中國內地的留學生。
「剛到劍橋的那段時間，我雖然比較刻苦，效果卻不明顯。我知道，這是因為自己的語言基礎還相當薄弱，要想在劍橋這個精英雲集的學府里站得住、學得好，更需要全力以赴地去拼搏。做學問與體育訓練一樣，沒有任何捷徑可尋，更不會有天上掉餡餅的美事兒，一切靠自己去拼去搏吧。」為了趕功課，鄧亞萍起早貪黑，每天只睡幾小時。
「開始的一兩個月之內，根本聽不懂老師在上面講什麼，我把老師所有寫在黑板上的東西照抄一遍。回到家裡以後，自己再翻字典，再看。每天的生活比較單調，上課時間是四個半小時。下了課還有很多作業，吃飯對我來說好像都很費事，中午休息的時間只有一個小時，我一般都不回宿舍，就是吃上午帶去的三明治，然後看一會兒書。晚上經常吃的東西就是自己做的方便麵條加青菜、西紅柿和雞蛋。幾乎每天都要學習到12點才能睡覺。」
雖然基礎比其他同學差，她總是不甘心，想超過別人。這種好勝的心理後來才慢慢開始轉變：「畢竟基礎不同，從運動員到學生是一個非常大的轉折，學習上升也要有個過程。」
回到清華，鄧亞萍的畢業論文題目是《國球的歷史及發展》。從開題報告、到第一次提交論文、以至論文的最終修訂，鄧亞萍不僅每一項都達到標准，而且步步提前，趕在時間表前完成。
「我終於戴上了學士帽，在畢業典禮上，我用流利的英語向老師致詞。」
D. 英語童話故事
英語童話故事如下：
1、the wind and the sun
One day the wind said to the sun, 「Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.」
「We will see about that,」 said the sun. 「I will let you try first.」
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
「I give up,」 said the wind at last. 「I cannot get his cloak off.」 Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soonbecame hot and took off his cloak.

3、袋鼠和籠子
One day the staff members of a zoo called a meeting to discuss the problem--how to deal with the kangaroos that were found out of the cage. They came to the conclusion that the cage was placed too low and decided to raise it from one to two meters high.
But the next day the kangaroos were still at large and they again raised the cage to three meters.Quite beyond their expectation the next morning they saw the kangaroos still free to go about.
They were alarmed and determined to go to all the length by raising the cage to the height of ten meters.Later a giraffe, while chatting with some kangaroos, asked them, 「Do you think they will go on raising your cage?」
「Hard to say,」 said a kangaroo, 「if they continue forgetting to fasten the cage door.」
漢語翻譯：有一天，動物園的管理員們發現袋鼠從籠子里跑出來了， 於是開會討論，一致認為是籠子的高度過低，所以他們決定將籠子的高度由原來的1米加高到2米。結果第二天他們發現，袋鼠還是跑到外面來，所以他們又決定再將高度加高到3米。
沒想到隔天居然又看到袋鼠全跑到外面，於是管理 員們大為緊張，決定一不做二不休，將籠子的高度加高到10米。
一天，長頸鹿和幾只袋鼠在閑聊，「你們看，這些人 會不會再繼續加高你們的籠子?」長頸鹿問。
「很難說。」袋鼠說，「如果他們再繼續忘記關門的話!」

E. 英語勵志小故事三個
A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and cked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air.
