1. It was a Dark and Stormy Night...

It was a dark and stormy night. . . A child awoke and began to cry, terrified by the thunder and lightening, and his father came in to comfort him. His rational explanations about the storm did nothing to reassure the child, whose screams almost drowned out the noise of the storm. Desperate, the father tried a story -- a tactic that often comforted the child.

Indeed, slowly, the child quieted his sobs in order to listen. It was a story about the god of lightning, drawn from fragments the father recalled from a collection of mythology. Before long, however, the child stopped the narrative with a question. "Why?" he asked. "Why does the lightning god live in our sky?"

The father tried to weave an answer to the question into the story, but the child soon interrupted with another question, and then another. Always "why?" The questions pushed the father』s creativity and patience beyond their normal limits, and he finally stopped, frustrated. At that moment an enormous bolt of lightning illuminated the sky, followed seconds later by its thunderclap. Immediately, the child began screaming again.

"What does he want? What can I do?" the father wondered. First the crying, and then the questions, which seemed to have no logical purpose, just the incessant "why?" -- a stream of queries without any end. Suddenly, the father had an inspiration. It must end at the beginning, he told himself. And he started another story. This time, he began as far back as he could imagine, with the birth of the world itself. The child graally quieted once again and began to listen. And so, as the storm continued to rage, the father retold and recreated one of the ancient stories of origins for his son, until the boy dropped off to sleep.

As he walked down the hall back to his bedroom, the father heard his daughter call out. "Dad? Is that you?"

Sighing, he opened the girl』s door. She sat up in bed. "Robert』s afraid, huh?" she asked. And then she continued, "It』s a pretty bad storm. . . but I』m not afraid." The father asked if she would like to hear a story also. She hesitated a moment. "What kind of story? " The father explained that he had told her brother some of the stories from ancient mythology. "No thanks," she said. "We already heard a bunch of those in school." And, as if he might be hurt, she quickly added, "some of them are pretty cool."

The father then kissed her good night and began to go back to bed. "But look at that one!" the girl cried, as a spectacular lightning bolt struck. The father realized he wasn』t going to get back to sleep yet, and resigned himself to at least a half hour of watching and discussing the storm with his daughter. She was extremely curious about it and she was a great talker. "I wonder what it is," she said. Her father began to explain about electricity when she broke in, "I wonder what everything is. I mean, I』m not so interested in that old mythology, but I do wonder about the world and electrons and how they are in this bed," and here she thumped the pillow beside her, "and in the windowsill and the lightning and everything. And yet things are different, they don』t look like they could be just electrons and atoms, do they? It just looks like a regular world." The father nodded. She finished triumphantly, "Your stories can』t tell us anything about that, now, can they?"

2. A Dialogue between a Sophist and a Disciple of Socrates

Sophist (speaking to two young men): -- and thus, there are three things that it would profit you to understand. But before I conclude, since I have already been teaching you for some time and a good teacher deserves some measure of recompense -- do you have something for me from your father?

Sophist (as he receives sum of money): Ah, that is good. Now, as I was saying -- (he breaks off)

(A disciple of Socrates approaches)

Sophist: But here is one of my detractors. Hail, friend!

Disciple of Socrates (dS): And hail, fellow teacher. I wish I could say fellow truth-seeker.

Sophist: I was just about to summarize my teachings for these two young men. Perhaps you would care to listen, to learn?

dS: I am always willing to listen. But not one coin shall you gain from me--it is not my habit to place a price on the search for wisdom. I seek wisdom as a lover seeks the beloved.

Sophist: Well, all honest citizens must earn their living. What better way than to teach? And now, here are three gems from my collection of wisdom.

dS: Display them one at a time, and, one at a time, I shall take them up and examine them; knowing, as we both must, that wisdom and gems are valued in large part by the extent to which they are free of flaws.

Sophist (turns to the 2 boys): First, I charge you to experience the world. Pay careful attention to the way that things and people appear to you, for these appearances are, in fact, your real teachers. How can you expect to know anything about the world if you do not respect the things in it? What you see, touch, hear: these things will reveal much truth to you if you take notice of them.

dS: This is curious. The appearance of things that change, die, crumble into st (and thus the appearance of all that we see or touch in this world): can they teach us about what is eternally true, what can never change? And is not eternal, changeless truth the much-desired object of wisdom?

One of the boys: Indeed, it seems evident that truth, to have any meaning at all, must be constant and everlasting.

dS: Now, what would you consider more real: a face reflected in a pond, or the person's face itself?

One of the boys: That I can answer! The face is more real. The other will not last but a moment, and even then is shifting and fragile.

dS: Now the person's face. Is it the same at every moment throughout life?

Boy: No, of course not. Soon, for instance, I will be bearded, and then will have wrinkles around the corners of my eyes, and eventually even a creeping bald spot like yours.

Sophist (laughing): You see, I have taught the boys well; they are observant of things.

dS (smiling):You have indeed taught them to use their eyes and sharpen their tongue. True vision, however, is not merely a matter of keen eyesight. As teachers, do we not seek to make all lack of substance, whether of things or of statements, transparent to our pupils? Reason, and not merely observation, then, is the necessary tool.

Sophist: Careful thought is indeed the friend of every well-ecated citizen, provided that it is applied to the fruit of experience and in the pursuit of a useful and virtuous life.

dS: Perhaps we can now apply our reason, carefully, to the fruit of this most immediate experience, our inquiry into the nature of appearances. Shall we say that the appearances of the changeable things of this world, for instance the reflection and the face, are like so many shadows compared to what is true? And that, no matter how meticulous our attention to their detail, we search in vain among them for truth itself? The realm where exist ideas like truth, changeless and eternal, must indeed be more substantial, more real than this shadow world of mere appearances; for just as we call the object that throws a shadow more real than the shadow itself, so an object subject to change and decay must have less reality than something which does not change. And truth, we have agreed, is eternal and unchanging.

Sophist: Attractive as this vision of another reality may be to one who dreams, I must speak words of common sense to these boys: the real world of experience is here about us, and it is our business to understand it so that we can lead better lives. I have no patience with a reality concocted out of too-subtle reasoning, a reality that has no relation to what a person experiences every day.

dS: I can agree that our experience of this world of appearances has real consequence. For appearances at best are suggestive of a higher reality. Since, moreover, they are even more likely to lead us astray, we do well to attend carefully to them. Here, your reason, however, and not your senses, will help you discriminate. And it is your reason, a faculty that you have as yet hardly exercised, that will carry you to the realm of higher reality and truth.

Sophist: They may perhaps be grateful that their ecation has not encouraged this kind of mental flight, and that their intellectual exercises have been directed toward skills that will be useful to them in their future lives as citizens of this city. But perhaps what I teach them—public speech, civic leadership—perhaps these things, too, are not real enough to be considered worthy of our attention?

(Doesn't wait for an answer) But this brings me to my second lesson, boys, which has to do with your response to your experiences. For people are in fact the measure of all things. Things, actions, are not good or evil in themselves--how could they be? It is people who think and deliberate and choose; and it is people who thus decide what is honorable, good, and just. But this is a great responsibility, one you need not bear alone. You must learn not only by paying attention to things, but by absorbing the collective wisdom of your fellow citizens.

dS: If this is so, I fear for our ability to lead virtuous lives. The good cannot depend upon the whim of a people. People change their minds, they make mistakes, they can have poor judgment, even about matters so important as ecation. (looks from boys to the Sophist)

One of the boys: This is true. (Reddens) I mean . . . that people can be mistaken. I have made errors in my calculations on many occasions.

dS: You would not trust yourself, then, to decide correctly in every situation?

Boy: I would not.

dS: But if goodness is determined by your judgment, and your judgment can be mistaken, or affected by strong emotion, then we must say that goodness itself is changeable.

Boy: That does not seem right.

dS: Would it not be more correct to say that goodness, like truth, is unchanging in its nature?

Boy: Yes.

dS: So you must see that people do not create a value like goodness, they only learn to recognize or know it, as a reality distinct from themselves. Such knowledge is not easily acquired.

Sophist: You have a very poor opinion of people. I believe that people can learn to act wisely, given adequate guidance from parents, teachers, and others. Part of such guidance involves recognition, as you say. Recognition of what, in the collective wisdom of a people, is considered good or right. This wisdom is attained through careful attention to experience, to the results of particular actions.

dS: Your speech must be judged a meritorious vessel in many ways, but most particularly as it draws attention to the goal of a worthy ecation, which I understand to be the revelation of the existence of changeless Ideas like justice, honor, or goodness, and their relationship to the good life.

One of the boys: Excuse me, I did not hear my instructor draw attention to this point at all.

dS: Ah, but that is because you were focusing on the place where he dropped anchor, and not on the ample berth between his mooring and the real pursuit of wisdom.

Sophist: I make no apology for emphasizing the way in which justice, honor or goodness have to do with the actual affairs of a citizen, and how people esteem these qualities in others. Some, engrossed in a fanciful world of the mind and endless conversation, have not adequately attended to the labors of our fellow citizens, or remarked their daily concerns with matters like equity in trade and fair legislation.

dS: On the contrary, I would like to be enlightened about a matter that very much concerns the problems of good citizenship. In what way can a teaching that fails to establish the true nature of truth or justice shed any light on the particular values involved in statehood and politics?

Sophist: My third lesson today is in fact a lesson about the people and their political role. You may judge it upon its merits. (Pauses here for effect) Democracy is the proper way to govern a city-state. As I have said, a well-ecated people are a virtuous people, capable of great political wisdom. Of course, it all depends upon the right ecation. That is why I have devoted my life to this task, and the people's willingness to pay for their ecation is evidence of its importance.

One of the boys: Although we are familiar with the workings of democracy, perhaps you could say more about it as a vehicle for wisdom.

Sophist: Democracy is a means of bringing together the wisdom of many people. And thus the heart of the democratic process is participation. We cannot afford to lose the insight of any person simply because they lack riches or good birth.

dS: If democracy pools the ideas of the many, is it not just as likely to result in cumulative error rather than in wisdom?

Sophist: A common misconception. You see, because the opinions of many are sought, not just once, but on all matters of common interest, error is subjected to correction. For it is not possible that all the people could be in error all of the time.

dS: Even if democracy were to allow for some measure of accuracy about certain matters, I cannot agree that this holds for questions of legislation and leadership. Political wisdom, in my experience, is an exceedingly rare quality; only a few are capable of achieving it, and only after great effort.

Sophist: You neglect the fact that democracy is a proven political choice.

dS: And you neglect the fact that rule by the mob has often led to disorder, and even anarchy.

Sophist: But I recognize well that democracy is our only safeguard against the tyranny of would-be philosopher kings!

㈢ 請各位提供幾篇最新短篇英文故事(300字左右).哪些網站或雜志上有此類文章

第一篇：A Grain of Sand
一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉.布萊克
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild fllower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
從一粒沙子看到一個世界，
從一朵野花看到一個天堂，
把握在你手心裡的就是無限，
永恆也就消融於一個時辰。

第二篇：Love Your Life
熱愛生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那裡去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。

第三篇：

The pure.the bright,the beautiful, 一切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,
That stirred our hearts in youth, 強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,
The impulses to wordless prayer, 推動著我們做無言的禱告的,
The dreams of love and truth; 讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;
The longing after something's lost, 在失去後為之感到珍惜的,
The spirit's yearning cry, 使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,
The striving after better hopes- 為了更美好的夢想而奮斗著的-
These things can never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

The timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手，
A brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的時候，
A kindly word in grief's dark hour 傷慟、困難的時候，一句親切的話
That proves a friend indeed ; 就足以證明朋友的真心；
The plea for mercy softly breathed, 輕聲地乞求憐憫，
When justice threatens nigh, 在審判臨近的時候，
The sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一種傷感--
These things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

Let nothing pass for every hand 在人間傳遞溫情
Must find some work to do ; 盡你所能地去做；
Lose not a chance to waken love- 別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----
Be firm,and just ,and true; 為人要堅定，正直，忠誠；
So shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀著你的那道光芒
Beam on thee from on high. 就不會消失。
And angel voices say to thee---你將聽到天使的聲音在說-----
These things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

The life I desired
我所追求的生活

That must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silent,so infifferent,that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature,strong in me even in those days,that i felt in such an existence,the share of the great majority,something amiss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness,but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous,shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.

這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最後注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什麼。我承認這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我願意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘。

The World Sleep Disorders Market, 2005-2010: A Market With High Growth Potential
The sleep disorder treatment market had sales of $2.03bn in 2004. It is dominated by one proct, Ambien indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia and providing Sanofi-Aventis with an 87% market share. However, in 2006 Ambien loses its patent protection, and the sleep disorder market looks set for dramatic growth and the introction of at least four new procts. In April 2005 year the first real competition for Ambien arrived on the market in the form of Estorra from Sepracor.

The purpose of this market report is to examine the factors that will influence the market and examine why visiongain has a forecast for the market to grow to over $4.4 billion by 2010. The imminent pipeline procts are examined in detail and their potential strengths and weaknesses compared. The futures of the older procts are assessed. Non-proct related factors are considered as the insomnia treatment market has attracted considerable negativity associated with poor side effects and in particular dependency.

The potential for market growth is enormous with only 10% of the estimated potential patient population of 150 million using prescribed pharmaceutical procts for insomnia. Although insomnia is by far the most common sleep disorder, this report also considers the markets for:

Narcolepsy
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Sanofi-Aventis is the leading company in the sleep disorder market, but over 25 companies are mentioned in this report. The report assesses which companies and procts will be key companies by 2010.

Why you should buy this report

It is a market that will more than double in size by 2010.
It is a market that will change from one dominant proct to one with at least 5 key procts.
Characteristics of an ideal sleep disorder treatment are compared with the current and pipeline procts.
Ambien is key proct for Sanofi-Aventis and is at a pivotal point in its life cycle. How this will affect the future sales levels for Sanofi-Aventis is assessed.
Sanofi-Aventis and Sepracor have significantly increased their level of DTC advertising. The importance of this and other non-proct related factors are considered.
For anyone with or considering involvement with the sleep disorder market this report is the most recently published report to examine and consider all of the salient factors.

Companies Mentioned in This Report

Arena Pharmaceutical
Astellas
Celgene
Cephalon

Sweat Equity
Financial Planning, January, 2005 by John J. Bowen Jr.
Content provided
in partnership with

If you're like most advisers, you got into the personal financial services instry for some specific reasons. The most common ones are to have the freedom to build your wealth by creating equity in your businesses, to earn an unlimited income, to be your own boss, to have the flexibility to take time off, and finally, to enjoy the satisfaction that comes from helping clients achieve financial success.

When I ask advisers I know if they have achieved those goals ring their careers, however, few say yes. Instead, they have created little or no equity, unlimited income is unrealized, being their own boss isn't what they thought it would be, and job flexibility has turned into working 12-hour days. The only promise most feel that they have realized over their careers is helping their clientsalthough there is often some disagreement there.

NO.1 The crow and the pitcher(烏鴉和水罐)

By Aesop

1 once there was a thirsty crow. She had flown a long way looking for water to

drink.

Suddenly she saw a pitcher. She flew down and saw it held a little water, but

it was so low in the pitcher that she could not reach it.

2 「But I must have that water,」 she cried. 「I am too heavy to fly farther.

What shall I do? I 『ll tip the pitcher over.」

She beat it with her wings, but it was too heavy. She could not move it.

Then she thought a while. 「I know now! I will break it! Then I will drink the

water as it pours out. How good it will taste!」

3 with beak and claws and wings she threw herself against the pitcher. But it

was too strong.

The poor crow stopped to rest. 「what shall I do now? I cannot die of thirst

with water close by. There must be a way, if I only hat wit enough to find it

out.」

4 after a while the crow had a bright idea. There were many small stones lying

about. She picked them up one by one and dropped them into the pitcher. Slowly

the water rose, till at last she could drink it .how good it tasted!

5 「There is always a way out of hard places, 」 said the crow,」if only you

have the wit to find it.」

1、從前有一隻口渴的烏鴉。為了找到水源，她已在空中飛行了很長時間。突然她發現了一

保水罐。她飛落下來，發現罐里有一些水，但是水罐太深，她無法喝到罐里的水。

2、「但我一定要喝到這水，」她叫道，「我已累得飛不動了。我該怎麼辦？我明白了！我

該把水罐推倒。」

她用翅膀擊打水罐，但水罐太沉了，她推不動它。

於是她想了一會兒。「這回我有辦法了！我要打碎它！水從破罐子里流出來，我就能喝上

了。那將是多麼甘美的水啊！」

3、她用尖喙、腳爪、翅膀去使勁地撞擊水罐。但是水罐太堅固了。

可憐的烏鴉不得不停下來歇一會兒。「我現在該怎麼辦？我不能眼睜睜在水邊渴死。只要

我開動腦筋，一定能找到辦法。」

4、過了一會兒，烏鴉想出了一個聰明的辦法。附近有很多小石子。她把它們一顆顆揀起來

扔進水罐，水慢慢地升高了。終於刀子可以喝上了，多麼甘美的水啊！

5、「只要你充分發揮自己的才智，」烏鴉說，「在任何困難的地方都能找到解決問題的辦

法。」

英文故事：（這篇很不錯，讀英文關鍵要了解它的語意，通讀完全文再看翻譯就會發現你的缺漏了）
千鏡之屋 The House of 1000 Mirrors
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。"
英語歌曲

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?

至於英語歌曲得有譜，可以上網邊聽邊學

㈦ 英語故事

一個感人的英文小故事 (這篇不錯的,可以看看:)

A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you asked

that is so you can borrow some money

to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed

to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room

and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
