The dog and the fox Some dogs found the skin of a lion and began to tear it to piece with their teeth.A fox seeing them,said:"If this lion were alive,you would soon find out that his claws were stronger than you teeth!" It is easy to kick a man that is down. 够短吗? 很简单了```````。
父亲和他的儿子 THE FATHER AND HIS SONS Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves。 When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks。
When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces。 They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it。
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily。 He then addressed them in these words: “My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks。
” 一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。
为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。
他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功。 然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。
于是他就告诉他们说:“孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行分裂,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。 ” 《男孩和他的树》中英文小品剧本 a boy and his tree a long ago,there was a huge apple tree。
a little boy love to come and play around it everyday。he climbed to the tree top,ate the apples,took a nap under the shadow…he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him。
time went by…the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday。 one day,the boy came back to the tree and he looked。
"come and play with me ,"the tree asked the boy 。 "i am no longer a kid, i don't play around trees anymore。
"the boy replied, "i want toys。i need money to buy them。
" "sorry,but i don't have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them。 so,you will have money。
"the boy was so excited 。he grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily。
the boy never came back after he picked the apples。the tree was sad。
one day,the boy returned and the tree was so excited。 "come and play with me ,"the tree said。
"i don't have time to play。i have to work for my family。
we need a house for shelter。can you help me?" "sorry,but i don't have a house 。
but you can chop off my branches to build your house。 "so the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily。
the tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then。 the tree was again lonely and sad。
one hot summer day,the boy returned and the tree was delighted。 "come and play with me !"the tree said。
"i am sad and getting old。iwant to go sailing to relax myself。
can you give a boat?" "use my truck to build your boat。you can sail faraway and be happy。
" so the boy cut the tree truck to make a boat 。 he went sailing and never showed up for a long time。
finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years。 "sorry,my boy。
but i don't have anything for you anymore。no more apples for for you…“the tree said。
"i don't have teeth to bite。"the boy replied。
"no more truck foe you to climb on。 " "i am too old for that now。
"the boy said。 "i really can give you anything…the only thing left is my dying roots。
"the tree said with tears。 "i don't need much now,just a place to rest。
i am tired after all these year" the boy replied。 "good!old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest。
come,come sit down with me and rest。"the boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…… this is a story of everyone。
the tree is our parent。 when we were young, we loved to play with mom and dad……when we grown up, we left them…only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble。
no matter what,parents will alway be there and give everything they could to make you happy。 you may think the boy is cruel to the tree but that how all of us are treating our parent。
time is too slow for those who wait,too swiftfor those who fear,too long for those who grieve,too short for those who rejoice,but for those who love,time is eternity。 从前,有一棵巨大的苹果树。
一个小男孩每天都喜欢在树下玩耍。他爬树,吃苹果,在树荫下小睡……他爱和树玩,树也爱和他玩。
时间过的很快,小男。

偷窃天火之后,宙斯对人类的敌意与日俱增。一天,他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像,并请众神赠予她不同的礼物。
其中,雅典娜饰之以华丽的衣裳,赫耳墨斯赠之以说谎的能力。世上的第一个女人是位迷人女郎,因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物,因此宙斯称她为潘多拉(pander:意为煽动)。
宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。
她姿容绝美,见者无不为之倾心。厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内。
普罗米修斯警告过他不得接受宙斯的任何馈赠,而他已将之忘于脑后。这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活,但不久灾难却降临人间。
当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候,他把一个桶托付给厄庇墨透斯。他警告过他的弟弟不要打开桶盖。
潘多拉好奇心强。她的丈夫不允许她看桶中之物,这使她感到十分懊恼。
一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外,她打开桶盖,从桶里跑出的是不和与战争,瘟疫与疾病,偷窃与暴力,悲哀与忧虑,以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸。 只有希望被关在桶口,永远飞不出来,因此人们常常把希望藏于心中。
There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.有一个小男孩,脾气很坏。
他的父亲给了他一袋钉子,告诉他每当他发脾气的时候,把钉子钉在后面的围墙。第一天,男孩钉了37个钉子在栅栏上。
然后它逐渐减少了。他发现那是更容易控制住自己的脾气要比往篱笆上钉钉子。
终于有一天,男孩没发脾气。 他告诉了父亲,父亲建议拔出一颗钉子,每一天,他能控制住自己的脾气。
日子一天天过去,最后,那个男孩告诉父亲,所有的钉子都消失了。父亲带着他的手,领他到篱笆。
他说:“你做得很好,我的儿子,但是看洞的围墙。篱笆永远是一样的。
当你发脾气的时候,他们就会留下这样一块疤。你可以把刀的人,把它拔出来。
它不会,无论你说多少遍对不起,伤口还在那儿。一个口头的伤口都像一个物理。

4月2日是安徒生诞辰202年的日子。
现在,我给大家简单的介绍一下安徒生。汉斯?克里斯蒂安?安徒生(1805~1875),诞生于丹麦富恩岛奥登塞小镇,是十九世纪的世界童话大师。
小时候,他孤僻自卑,生性敏感,长得其貌不扬,没有人缘。《丑小鸭》被认为是他自传体作品.早年他的际遇不佳,父亲是个穷鞋匠,母亲是个洗衣匠,一字不识。
他从小家境贫寒,没受过正规教育,但他对文学有一颗赤诚和执著的心,正是这样不懈的努力,安徒生终于获得了成功。 翻译: The 2 April is the day of Andersen's 202th birthday .Right now I would like to give you a brief introduction about Mr.Andersen.Born under extremely poor conditions in the Danish town Odense (the Island of Funen), Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a master of the fairy tales in the 19th century.As a child he was highly dissociable,self-contemptuous, and emotional.All these characters and his unattractive appearance made him very unpopular.The Ugly Duckling was considered his autobiographical work.His early years were full of misadventures.His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwoman. Andersen received little early education because of poor family circumstances.But it was his devotion and dedication to literature that finally contributed to his great success. 二、安徒生不仅是个童话作家,也是个诗人、剧作家、旅行家,他还擅长剪纸。
因为小时候家境贫寒,没有学习的机会,所以他强烈地感到:最需要阅读的人,莫过于穷苦的孩子。“为了争取未来的一代”,安徒生决定给孩子写童话,出版了《讲给孩子们听的故事》。
此后数年,每年圣诞节都出版一本这样的童话集。其后又不断发表新作,直到1872年因患癌症才逐渐搁笔。
他在近40年间,共计写了童话168篇。安徒生童话具有独特的艺术风格:即诗意的美和喜剧性的幽默。
前者为主导风格,多体现在歌颂性的童话中,后者多体现在讽刺性的童话中。 翻译: Andersen was not only a fairy tale writer but a poet, a playwright and a traveler.And he was also good at paper cutting.Poor family background in his childhood and no opportunities to learn made him keenly feel that there was nobody who was in want of reading more than poor children .In order to strive for the next generation Andersen made up his mind to write fairy tales for kids,and published his book named The Story Told to The Children .In the following years the same type of fairy tales were published at each christmas.He had continued producing his new works until he was cancered.There were total 168 fairy tales written by Andersen in his nearly 40 years.His works were characterized by their unique style: the poetic beauty and the bouffe humor.The former was predominant style that embodied itself in the chantable stories while the latter in the sarcastic ones. 三、安徒生第一集童话出版之后,当时以诗人厄楞士雷革(1779~1850)为首的“浪漫主义”运动正在丹麦进行。
安徒生和当时的浪漫主义者不同,他那种富于想象的活泼文体丝毫没有华而不实的味道,而是充满浓厚的乡土气息。他的代表作品:《拇指姑娘》、《国王的新衣》、《海的女儿》、《野天鹅》、《卖火柴的小女孩》、《丑小鸭》等。
安徒生对孩子们的影响巨大,他的文学形象:美人鱼至今还屹立在丹麦哥本哈根港口的海边,成为丹麦的标志。 翻译: After the publication of Andersen's first fairy tales, "Romantic" movement initiated by poet (厄楞士雷革)(1779~1850)was on the march in Denmark.Different from the style of those romanticists,his style,filled with strong and rustic features, was imaginative ,vivid and not specious at all.Andersen's representative works contained "Thumbelina","The Emperor's New Clothes","The Little Mermaid","The Wild Swans", "The Little Match-seller",and "The Ugly Duckling" etc.His works influenced the children so stong that his literary figure,the Mermaid's statue,still stands by the sea at Copenhagen port as the symbol of Denmark.。
There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.
When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
