Once upon a time, in a beautiful countryside, a mother duck was sitting on her eggs. She was very excited because she was expecting her little ducklings to hatch.
One by one, the eggs cracked open, and out came the cutest little ducklings. They were all yellow and fluffy. But there was one egg that was much bigger than the others, and it took a long time to hatch.
Finally, the big egg opened, and out came a strange-looking duckling. He was grey and not as pretty as his brothers and sisters. The other ducklings made fun of him and called him ugly. They didnt want to play with him and often pecked at him.
The poor ugly duckling felt very sad and lonely. He tried to fit in, but no matter what he did, the others still treated him badly. So he decided to leave and find a new place where he might be accepted.
He walked and walked, through forests and over fields. He met many animals along the way, but they all either ignored him or laughed at his appearance.
As the seasons changed, the ugly duckling grew bigger. One day, he came to a beautiful pond. There were some swans swimming gracefully on the water. He was amazed by their beauty and felt a little envious.
Suddenly, he looked at his own reflection in the water and was astonished. He realized that he had grown into a beautiful swan himself. His feathers were white and shiny, and his neck was long and elegant.
The other swans welcomed him, and he finally found a place where he belonged. The animals who had once made fun of him now looked at him with admiration.
And from that day on, the ugly duckling lived happily ever after, knowing that true beauty comes from within and that everyone has their own special journey to discover their true selves.

最后，这个大蛋打开了，出来了一只长相奇怪的小鸭。他是灰色的，不像他的兄弟姐妹们那么漂亮。其他的小鸭子都取笑他，叫他丑小鸭。他们不想和他一起玩，还经常啄他。
可怜的丑小鸭感到非常悲伤和孤独。他试图融入进去，但无论他做什么，其他鸭子仍然对他不好。所以他决定离开，去寻找一个可能会接纳他的新地方。
他走啊走，穿过森林，越过田野。一路上他遇到了许多动物，但他们要么不理他，要么嘲笑他的外表。
随着季节的变化，丑小鸭长大了。一天，他来到了一个美丽的池塘。有一些天鹅在水面上优雅地游着。他被它们的美丽所惊叹，也有点羡慕。
突然，他看着水中自己的'倒影，惊呆了。他意识到自己已经长成了一只美丽的天鹅。他的羽毛洁白闪亮，脖子修长优雅。
其他的天鹅欢迎他，他终于找到了属于自己的地方。那些曾经取笑他的动物现在都羡慕地看着他。
从那天起，丑小鸭过上了幸福的生活，他知道真正的美丽来自内心，每个人都有自己独特的旅程去发现真正的自我。
猫头鹰宝宝
Once there were three baby owls:
从前，有三只猫头鹰宝宝：
Sarah and Percy and Bill.
Sarah、Percy和Bill。
They lived in a hole in the trunk of a tree with their owl mother.
他们和妈妈一起住在一个树洞里。
The hole had twigs and leaves and owl feathers in it.
洞里铺着树枝、叶子和羽毛。
It was their house.
那儿是他们的家。
One night they woke up and their Owl Mother was GONE.
一天夜里，小猫头鹰们醒来，发现他们的妈妈不见了。
"Where's Mommy?" asked Sarah.

The baby owls came out of their house and they sat on the tree and waited.
猫头鹰宝宝们从树洞里出来，坐在树上等妈妈。
A big branch for Sarah,a small branch for Percy,and an old piece of ivy for Bill.
Sarah坐在一根很粗的树枝上，Percy坐在一根细细的树枝上，Bill坐在一条老常春藤上。

猫头鹰宝宝们闭上眼睛祈祷，希望他们的妈妈能回来。
AND SHE CAME.
她终于回来了。
Soft and silent, she swooped through the trees to Sarah and Percy and Bill.
她无声无息地冲过树丛，向Sarah、Percy 和Bill飞来。
"Mummy!" they cried,
“妈妈！”他们喊，
and they flapped and they danced,and they bounced up and down on their branch.
他们拍着翅膀跳起舞来，他们在树枝上又蹦又跳。
"WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS?" their Owl Mother asked.
有什么好大惊小怪的呀？”他们的猫头鹰妈妈说
"You knew I’d come back."
“你们知道我会回来的。”
The baby owls thought(all owls think a lot)-
猫头鹰宝宝们想了想（所有的猫头鹰都爱瞎想）—

“我也知道！”Percy说。
"I love my mummy!" said Bill.
“我爱你，妈妈！”Bill嚷嚷。
Building the third storey without the first two
A long time ago, there was a rich man whose foolishness knew no bounds(无限).
The fool visited another rich man's house and saw a magnificent three-storeyed building which was tall, spacious and bright. He was extremely envious and said to himself, "my wealth is no less than his. Why haven't I got a house like this?"
He immediately called in a carpenter. "Did you build that house?" He inquired, "Yes, indeed," answered the carpenter, whereupon he ordered a similar house be built for him.
The carpenter started to clear the ground and pile up mud bricks, When the fool saw the carpenter do this, he was puzzled and asked, "What kind of a house are you going to build?" "A three-storeyed house," came the reply. "I don't want the first and second storeys. Build the top storey first." "That simply cannot be done," the carpenter argued. "Whoever heard of building the second storey without first constructing the ground storey, and without the second storey, how can you build the third?"
But the fool insisted, "I don't need the first two storeys. You must build only the top storey for me."
My uncle has two dogs. One is big and the other is small. He likes them very much.
One day, Mr. Smith came to visit him. When the friend saw two holes in the door, a large hole and a small hole, he was surprised and said, ;My dear friend, why are there two holes in your door?; ;Let my dogs come in and come out, of course,; Mr. Smith asked. ;But why are there two holes? One is enough!; ;But how can the big dog go through the small hole?; my uncle said.
Sometimes a clever man may make such mistakes.
Very Pleased to Meet You
During World War II, a lot of young women in Britain were in the army. Joan Phillips was one
of them. She worked in a big camp, and of course met a lot of men, officers and soldiers.
One evening she met Captain Humphreys at a dance. He said to her, "I‘m going abroad
tomorrow, but I‘d be very happy if we could write to each other." Joan agreed, and they wrote for several months.
Then his letters stopped, but she received one from another officer, telling her that he had been wounded and was in a certain army hospital in England.
Joan went there and said to the matron, "I‘ve come to visit Captain Humphreys."
"Only relatives are allowed to visit patients here," the matron said.
"Oh, that‘s all right," answered Joan. "I‘m his sister."
"I‘m very pleased to meet you," the matron said, "I‘m his mother!"
在第二次世界大战中，有许多年轻的妇女在军营中服役。琼。飞利浦斯是其中之一。她在一个大军营中工作，当然遇到了许多男士，包括军官和士兵。
一天晚上她在舞会上遇到了军官汉弗雷斯。他对她说，“我明天就要出国，但如果我们能够相互写信，我会很高兴。”琼同意了，于是他们几个月里一直通着信。
后来，他再没有来信。她收到了另一个军官的。信，告诉她，他受伤了，住在英格兰的某个部队医院里。
琼到了医院，她对护士长说，“我来看望军官汉弗雷斯。”
A Woodman came into a forest to ask the Trees to give him a handle for Ax. It seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once aGREed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain, homely Ash should furnish what was wanted.
No sooner had the Woodman fitted the staff to his purpose ,than he began laying about him on all side. felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the Cedar: "the first concession has lost all ;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves."
A man carves an idol and takes it to the fair. No one buys it, so he begins to shout in order to canvass the customer.
He says that this idol can bring in wealth and good luck. One man says to the seller, "Hello, My friend, if this is so, you should have the advantages that the idol can bring, why do you want to sell it?" The seller says, "What I want is that I can get cash in at once. The profit from the idol is so slow."
This story means: God will never respect people who make a profit by hook or crook.
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
我们的儿子是密歇根州阿尔马大学的。新生，开学几个星期之后，我和丈夫决定去看看他。我特意提前给他
打电话，“提醒”他我们将光临。但是当我们来到宿舍时，他的房间凌乱不堪，我非常吃惊。“忘了我们要来，是吧？”我取笑他。
“开什么玩笑？“，他回答说，“要不我凭什么费神打扫？”
A Fox, just at the time of the vintage, stole into a vine-yard where the ripe sunny Grapes were trellised up on high in most tempting show.
He made many a spring and a jump after the luscious prize, but, failing in all his attempts, he muttered as he retreated："Well what does it matter! The Grapes are sour!"
A wild boar was sharpening his tusks against a tree one day when a fox came by. "What are you doing that for?" asked the fox. "There are no hunters around.Everything looks very peaceful to me."
"Quite true,"said the boar,"but when the hunter does e with his dogs I shall be too busy running away to have time for this. So let me sharpen my tusks while I can." Be prepared.

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."
父亲、哥哥和我到西点军校去观看一场陆军与波士顿大学之间的橄榄球赛。开始之前，我们到处转了转，
碰到许多穿着整齐制服的学员。几名游客问新兵是否愿意摆出军姿来让他们摄。“好让我们的`儿子知道，如果他到西点军校来学习会得到什么。”
一对中年夫妇走近一名非常漂亮的女学员，问她是否愿意摆个姿势照相。他们解释说：“我们想让儿子知道他没来西点军校错过了什么。”
A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him. One day he decided to show them what he meant.
He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them.
"Can you break that ? " 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.
Better late than never
Once upon a time, someone raised a sheep. One morning, he found a sheep missing. After careful examination, he found that the sheepfold had broken a hole. At night, the wolf came in and took one of the sheep. The neighbour advised him, "Repair the sheepfold and plug the hole!" The man refused to accept the advice and answered, "What's the sheep doing when they've lost it?"
The next morning, he found another sheep missing. Originally, the wolf came in from the hole and took a sheep. He regretted that he had not listened to his neighbour's advice, so he quickly blocked the hole and repaired the sheepfold. Since then, wolves can no longer get into the sheepfold to catch sheep.
The story tells us: make a mistake, suffer setbacks, it is a common phenomenon. As long as can learn seriously, to take remedial measures in time, can avoid continue to make mistakes, suffer greater losses.
翻译：亡羊补牢
从前，有人养了一圈羊。一天早晨，他发现少了一只羊，仔细一查，原来羊圈破了个窟窿，夜间狼钻进来，把羊叼走了一只。邻居劝他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上窟窿吧！”那个人不肯接受劝告，回答说：“羊已经丢了，还修羊圈干什么？”
第二天早上，他发现羊又少了一只。原来，狼又从窟窿中钻进来，叼走了一只羊。他很后悔自己没有听从邻居的劝告，便赶快堵上窟窿，修好了羊圈。从此，狼再也不能钻进羊圈叼羊了。
这个故事告诉我们：犯了错误，遭到挫折，这是常见的现象。只要能认真吸取教训，及时采取补救措施，就可以避免继续犯错误，遭受更大的损失。
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 during class. I do, however, object to your pounding them on the
desk to make sure they‘re still running."
基本原则
位于吉拉多海角的密苏里东南州立大学有一位我非常喜欢的老师，他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在对一个新
生班级讲解他的`基本原则时，他说：“我知道我的讲课可能经常会枯燥乏味，了无生趣，所以如果你们在上课时看表我并不介意。不过我坚决反对你们将表在课桌上猛敲看它们是不是还在走。”
Real Play
When I taught the introduction-to-theater course at North Dakota State University, I
required my students to attend the university theater‘s current production 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。戏剧
我在北达科他州立大学教戏剧入门课时，要求学生们去看学校剧团当时的演出，并写一篇评论。看了一场
极为精彩的演出后，一名学生写道：“这部戏剧是如此逼真，以致 ”
Among the outstanding figures of Chinese history, famous either for their intelligence or treachery, Cao Cao is one of the foremost.
在中国历史上有许多人物以聪明狡诈而闻名，曹操就是其中之一。
One summer, Cao Cao was leading his troops in a punitive expedition against Zhang Xiu. It was extraordinarily hot. The burning sun was like a fire, and the sky was cloudless. The soldiers were walking on the winding mountain paths. The dense forest and the hot rocks exposed to the sun on both sides of the paths made the soldiers feel suffocated. By noontime the soldiers' clothes were wet through with sweat, and the marching speed slowed down. Some solders of weak physique even fainted on the roadside.
有一年夏天，曹操率领部队去讨伐张绣，天气热得出奇，骄阳似火，天上一丝云彩也没有，部队在弯弯曲曲的山道上行走，两边密密的树木和被阳光晒得滚烫的山石，让人透不过气来。到了中午时分，士兵的衣服都湿透了，行军的速度也慢下来，有几个体弱的士兵竟晕倒在路边。
Seeing that the marching speed was slower and slower, Cao Cao was very worried because he feared that he might bungle the chance of winning the battle. But how could they quicken their speed? Cao Cao at once callde the guide and asked him on the quiet whether there was a source of water nearby.
曹操看行军的速度越来越慢，担心贻误战机，心里很是着急。可是，眼下几万人马连水都喝不上，又怎么能加快速度呢？他立刻叫来向导，悄悄问他：“这附近可有水源？
The guide shook his head, saying that the spring water was on the other side of the mountain, which was very far to have to make a detour to reach. Cao Cao realized that time didn't permit them to make such a detour. After thinking for a moment, he said to the guide, "Keep quiet. I'll find a way out." He knew that it would be to no avail to order his troops to quicken the steps. He had a brain wave and found a good solution. He spurred his horse and came to the head of the column. Pointing his horsewhip to the front, Cao Cao said, "Soldiers, I know there is a big forest of plums ahead. The plums there are both big and delicious. let's hurry along, and we will reach the forest of plums after bypassing this hill."
”向导摇摇头说：“泉水在山谷的那一边，要绕道过去还有很远的路程。”曹操想了一下说，“不行，时间来不及。”他看了看前边的树林，沉思了一会儿，对向导说：“你什么也别说，我来想办法。”他知道此刻即使下命令要求部队加快速度也无济于事。脑筋一转，办法来了，他一夹马肚子，快速赶到队伍前面，用马鞭指着前方说：“士兵们，我知道前面有一大片梅林，那里的梅子又大又好吃，我们快点赶路，绕过这个山丘就到梅林了！
When the solders heard this, they immediately slobbered. Picturing in their minds the sweet and sour flavour of the plums, the soldiers felt as if they were actually eating the plums, the soldiers felt as if they were actually eating the plums themselves. The morale greatly boosted, the soldiers quickened their steps a great deal automatically.
”士兵们一听，仿佛已经吃到嘴里，精神大振，步伐不由得加快了许多。
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?"
森林之火
一名妇女向她最好的朋友大谈雄性动物的`特性：“丈夫们就像是森林里的火，一不注意，他们就会燃烧起
来。”
“那是不是意味着，”另一个问道，“他们将自己烧成灰烬？”
Best Reward
A naval officer fell overboard. He was rescued by a deck hand. The officer asked how
he could reward him.
"The best way, sir," said the deck hand, "is to say nothing about it. If the other fellows
knew I‘d pulled you out, they‘d chuck me in."
最好的奖赏
一名海军军官从甲板上掉入海中。他被一名甲板水手救起。这位军官问如何才能酬谢他。
“最好的办法，长官，”这名水手说，“是别声张这事。如果其他人知道我救了您，他们会把我扔下去的。”
"I had another bad dream," she told her fiancé. "It was about you again. You and your ex-girlfriend were kissing. I yelled at you to stop it. You looked right at me, and then you laughed at me! She laughed, too. Then you both went back to kissing. I tried not to watch, but when I covered my eyes, something pulled my hands away. I tried to leave, but my feet were glued to the ground. Finally, I woke up. Of course, it was very difficult to get back to sleep.
"I had to drive home from Las Vegas this morning. It's a wonder I didn't crash 50 times. Instead of seeing traffic in front of me, all I saw was you and her. I can't take any more dreams like this. We're going to have to break up. We can be friends, but just friends. That way, I won't be jealous anymore, and I won't have these bad dreams anymore."
"Why didn't you call me up and tell me about your dream?" he asked. "They say that the more you talk about bad dreams, the sooner you'll stop having them."
She disagreed. She thought that the only solution was to break up and be just friends. She loved him, but these dreams had become so frequent that she was actually afraid to go to sleep. She was losing weight and having stomachaches from the stress.
He didn't know what to do. He wanted her to have pleasant dreams. He wanted her to have a life without
He wanted her to be his wife. This was it, she repeated; if she had just one more bad dream, they were through. He squeezed her hand, but said nothing.

2、个人幸福跟年龄无关，跟情商有关。
3、三年了，在风风雨雨，坎坎坷坷之后，我们之间的友谊更加深了。百感交集，想说的太多太多……如果用一块七棱八角的石头来形容我们初识时的友谊，我相信经过时间的冲刷，将会变成一块光滑的鹅卵石。
4、情谊悠悠，岁月如流，蓦然回首，却已人去楼空，不知江月照何人，但见长江送流水。
5、记住：生命，从小溪的流淌中获得；青春，在飞流的倾泻中闪光；存在的价值，于大河的奔流中呈现。
6、最恨的是� 今日一别，犹如管仲之失鲍叔牙，茫茫天涯，叫我到何处去寻找我最爱的“挚友”。
7、但愿相忆莫相忘，幽怀几许终难忘。朋友，长久不见，路途遥遥，隔不断万里信笺，止不住悠悠思绪，永远留存的是对你的友情。
8、并肩一起走过年的岁月，一眨眼就要离开了，好舍不得。还想和你一起攻克难关，还想与你一道分享喜悦……或许我们会分别两地，距离很远，但我们心连心，感觉不到距离，你就在我的身边。愿你在初中能找到自己的一片天空。
9、凤凰花吐露着艳红，在祝福你我的梦。当我们飞向那海阔天空，不要彷徨也不要停留。
10、我们是一群欢跃的鸟，是交响乐中一组青春的歌，汇成了一条永远追赶的小河。
11、还记得那一天的摄影留念吗？我的瞬间意识连同闪光灯一起亮了：你的倩影留在底片上，同时也深深地烙在我的心灵里。
12、生活给予每个人发展自己的天地，朋友，不用寻找，那个天地就在你自己心里！
13、消除迷茫的唯一途径是自己知道要什么，所以，多些经历。
14、姑娘，请允许我在这喧嚣浮躁的年代用这么朴素的字眼称呼你。
15、六月的我们荡起青春的双桨，用热情推开知识的波浪；六月的我们扬起进取的风帆，用勤奋驶向成功的彼岸；六月的我们带着美丽的回忆，用真诚为彼此写下祝福的诗行。亲爱的朋友，愿我们的明天更美好。
16、让我们共同摒弃对幸福的一味幻想，把希望寄托在对事业的执著追求上！
17、当你孤独时，风儿就是我的歌声，愿它能使你得到片刻的安慰；当你骄傲时，雨点就是我的警钟，愿它能使你获得永恒的谦逊。
18、� 但愿你还能记得，永远地记得，那一段充满着奋斗激情的闪亮日子。
19、聚也不是开始，散也不是结束，同窗数载凝的无数美好瞬间，将永远铭刻在我的记忆之中……
20、毕业在即，道声珍重，不忘青春岁月如风，你我曾经相逢。今朝离别，难舍情浓，祝君大鹏展翅长空，潜龙风起云动。千言万语，诉不尽情衷，愿你人生路上圆美梦！
21、跟着感觉走，在俗世中保留一点幻想和童真。
22、天空吸引你展翅飞翔，海洋召唤你扬帆启航，高山激励你奋勇攀登，平原等待你信马由缰……出发吧，愿你前程无量！
23、有那么一点感伤，也有那么一点向往；有那么一点欢乐，也有那么一点惆怅；有那么一点安静，也有那么一点慌张；有那么一点失落，也有那么一点张狂。毕业了，愿你轻松踏上新征程！
24、孔子说：友朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？的确，是上帝让我们团聚在一起，才有了这份真诚的友谊。愿我们珍惜这份友谊，像个勇敢者洒下自己理想的种子，用辛勤的汗水来浇灌它直到开出成功的花朵。
25、小舟在青春的港口起航，我们权时分手，满载着抱负和追求。重新相聚在何时？将在那丰收的时候！
26、光阴似箭，一转眼，年的同窗生涯已成为过去。但教室里，还回响着我们朗朗的读书声；操场上，还留着我们奔跑矫健的身影。这里的草坪小溪竹亭，是我们永远依恋的百草园。
27、再见，每天斑驳的黑板；再见，角落里的扫把；再见，没有送出去的玫瑰花；再见，篮球场上的汗水；再见，食堂饭菜里的小强……再见，这些年相伴的时光；再见，有你们的青春；再见，同窗的你！带上梦想，继续前行，说好了再见，我们就一定会再见！
28、朝霞般美好的理想，在向我们召唤。我的。同窗，分手在即，不必问何日相会，我们是一滴一滴的水，全将活跃在祖国的大海里！
29、一眨眼，两千多个星辰已经抛在脑后，张弘涛，再有几十个日夜，我们就要分离了，但友谊怎能轻易抹去，无论未来怎么美好，你千万别忘了你的小学同学——汤哲浩以及这段纯洁的友情。
30、一眨眼，三年的光阴过去了，马上，我们就将分离，但我相信，不论世界如何变迁，我们之间深厚的友谊是永远都不会改变的。愿你在新的生活中交到更多新的朋友，在知识的海洋中自由的翱翔，天天开心！
31、我们曾是并肩战斗的两棵小树，我们曾经是二重唱中的两个声部，我们曾经是一张课桌上的学友。今天，我们挥手告别的时候，请接受我深情的祝福。
32、恩德相照是知己，腹心相报是知心，声气相投是知音——这就是我和你。
33、还记得那天晚上我们在星光下畅谈的情景吗？谈学习理想，还有……将来即使我们天各一方，但那晚的星空我永远都会记得。
34、年同窗，共沐一片阳光；一千多个白昼，谱写了多少友谊的篇章？愿逝去的岁月，都化作美好的回忆。永留在心房。
35、不怕改变和未知，包括认识到一个全新的自己。
36、雪花乱飞的季节，我们也曾陷入迷茫的困惑，感到孤独和凄凉，但我们毕竟走了过来。
37、我深深地理解，耗费了多少时间，战胜了多少困难，你才取得眼前的成绩。请你相信，在你追求拼搏和苦干的过程中，我将永远面带微笑地站在你的身旁。
38、美丽的梦和美丽的诗一样，都是可遇而不可求的。我真喜欢那样的梦，明明知道你已为我跋涉千里，却又觉得芳草鲜美，好像你我才初次相逢！
39、喜欢新鲜，害怕沉闷，那让自己把生活变得更丰富有趣些吧。
40、经典的赠言，能让您的赠别之语更加意蕴悠长！
41、是缘分将我们带到一起，是友情将我们紧紧地相连。
42、相识之缘，刻骨铭心，真挚情谊，历久弥新，在友谊的长路上，只问相知是怎样的珍惜与拥有，我永远都不会忘记与你同行的日子。
43、你们是我六年的同窗好友，我们之间有欢声笑语，也有争吵不断。在即将分别的日子里，珍惜每一天仅有的光阴，把这份友谊深深埋在心底到永远。
44、理想和信念在这里交融，梦想与情感在这里汇合，一千个日日夜夜的埋头苦读拼搏奋进的时光在这里定格。
45、我的朋友，你的声音飘荡在我的心里，像那海水的低吟之声，缭绕在静听着的松林之间。像露珠依恋着美丽的花朵？
46、也许你不情愿，也许你胆怯，但只要能够跨出去，一种温馨而充满活力的生活也许就在你的面前。
47、再回首，是一串充满酸甜苦辣的昨天：昨天，有我们在课堂上的争论；昨天，有我们在球场上的奔跑；昨天，有我们在考场上的奋斗；昨天，有我们在烛光中的歌唱。是啊，昨天，多么美好，多么值得回忆！
48、尽情地饮干这杯毕业之酒吧！它是生活的甘露！它将给未来注进胜利，它将长留在我们的唇间舌上，留下无尽的回味……
49、与你同行，回想起我们曾拥有过的共同理想；与你分手，憧憬着我们重逢时的狂欢。
50、同窗几年，你把友谊的种子撒在我心灵上。我将默默地把它带走，精心浇灌栽培，让它来日开出芳馨的鲜花。
51、愿我们的友情，像春天一样美丽，像夏日一样火热，像秋天一样爽朗，像冬季一样洁白，如四季一般纯真长久！
52、还记得吗？军训场上的一顶顶红帽，阅兵场上嘹亮的口号，是的，从那时起，我们共同踏进了这片令人神往的天地……
53、朋友是一个多么温馨的字眼。她就像茫茫黑夜中的一缕霞光，为我照亮了前进的道路。朋友是一个温暖的港湾，让我在里面度过最痛苦的时光，使我鼓起勇气面对人生的挫折。我衷心祝福我的所有朋友，永远快乐！
54、你长的虽然没有你自己认为的那么帅气，但是那张能说话的嘴使在你身边的人都逗笑。还有那双仿佛无所不能的眼睛使人感到亲切。愿你在中学的生活里将幽默进行到底。
55、其实在这样叫你之前，我是下了有生以来最大的决心的。我二大妈的三大姑的四大姨的五外公的六大爷的七舅姥爷可以做证！真的。
56、我们即将步入新的生活，前面的路还很长很长，让我们更加珍惜今天所拥有的青春和友谊，用真情去浇灌友谊的花蕾。
57、采撷一串串的梦，学校的嬉戏，回想起是那么缤纷绚丽；而成长的追逐，竟已一跃而过。世间的尘嚣喧扰，似乎沉寂，让我重新拾取记忆的落英。
58、毕业在即，是快乐时光的延续，另一种快乐岁月在等着你；毕业来临，是继续了人生的打拼，另一种想往在等待你的牵手；朋友，收拾行装，早早的行走来路上，祝你好运。
59、风吹走了祝福的心绪，雨模糊了期盼的视线，我扎紧了思念的情结，相信总有一天我们会再度重逢！
60、当我们离开校园的那一刻，再让我们回首看我们走过的路，我相信，我们有的是恋恋不舍的感情；有的是没有虚度年华的自豪；有的是对美好未来的憧憬！我相信，那难忘的校园生活一定
63、选对一个环境可以快乐一生！选对一个伴侣可以幸福一生！选对一个朋友可以智慧一生！选对一份事业可以成就一生！您是我一生最美丽的相遇！
64、毕业是快乐的结束，也是幸福的开始。把烦恼打包，把寂寞雪藏，把不快抛去，把美好开启，把幸福展望，把好运串起，把成功书写，把前途开拓，愿未来灿烂辉煌！
65、有人说：“人人都可 ”愿我们在走向生活的道路上，用自己的双手建造幸运的大厦。
66、几年的同窗，我与你结下了深厚的友谊，愿你我心灵间的交流，直到永远。
67、有人说，人生就像一场盛大的筵席，总有散的时候。我觉得在学校几年也像一场热闹的宴会，当几年之前我们一起赴宴的时候，我们就已经想到过这一天，只是我们没有想到的是它会那么快结束。当我还在原地回想的时候，已经有人匆匆的从身边走过，走出校园，再也不会像以前一样可以挥斥方遒。
68、六月是分别的季节，热情的拥抱，分离的泪水充满校园；六月是收获的季节，成功的欢笑，理想的放飞就在眼前。无论今后身处何地，绝不会忘记同学的友谊。愿你别后宏图大展，我们相聚在美好的明天！
69、恩人呐，自从你坐在我的身后，再也没有女生下课后来骚扰我了。
70、风吹过脸面，雨洒在眼前。不久，我们将走上另一条大道，从此，校园的大门把我们分在了两边。再也不能像现在一样自由自在。无论天涯海角，祝愿我们的友谊天长地久。
71、生真是有点不可思议，许多事情在之后回想起来总是那么神奇，大学的生活即将结束，无论你今后身在何处，海职永远是你们最好的家。千言万语只用一句话“常回海职看看”。
72、当你静默的时候，你的心仍要倾听他的心；因为在友谊里，不用语言，一切的思想，一切的愿望，一切的希冀，都在无声的欢乐中发生而共享了。
73、我在生命转弯的地方等你，让我像昨天一样地问你，你可否愿与我同行？
74、时间的美酒令人回味无穷，六年的友谊铭刻在心头。昨天我们红过脸斗过嘴；昨天，我们搭着肩走向篮球场；昨天，我们一起努力拼搏！今天，让我们忘记过去的不愉快，带着祝福告别母校，踏上新的征程。
75、高尚的理想是人生的指路明灯。有了它，生活就有了方向；有了它，内心就感到充实。迈开坚定的步伐，走向既定的目标吧，同学们！
76、若不得不分离，也要好好地说声“再见”，也要在心里存着一份感激，感谢你给了我那一份终身难忘的甜蜜的回忆。
77、曾经我们一起上课一起逃课，曾经一起吃饭一起抢零食，一起挨批一起受罚，一起谈天说地。如今想起那所学校……想起了那间教室，想起了那条路，想起了那群人，勾起了我们人生中最青涩的记忆……我的花样年华。
78、我的生活融入了你，你的生活中也蕴涵着我；当我们再次相见的时刻，你我仍然是一个整体。
79、哈哈，四年的老同桌，你身上一定有门捷列夫没有发现的元素！否则，语言怎么在我最需要的时候无影无踪了呢？
80、春天燃着，冬天燃着，雨里燃着，雪里燃着，但愿知识的明灯，在我们手中永远燃着……
81、毕业了，请你张开翱翔的翅膀，执着地去追逐理想；毕业了，请你荡起快乐的双桨，去迎接美好的希望。毕业了，带着祝福，携着坚强，勇敢前行吧！祝你事事顺利，勇者无惧！
IN the high-road which led through a wood stood a solitary farm-house; the road, in fact, ranright through its yard. The sun was shining and all the windows were open; within the housepeople were very busy. In the yard, in an arbour formed by lilac bushes in full bloom, stood anopen coffin; thither they had carried a dead man, who was to be buried that very shed a tear over him; his face was covered over with a white cloth, under his head theyhad placed a large thick book, the leaves of which consisted of folded sheets of blotting-paper,and withered flowers lay between them; it was the herbarium which he had gathered in variousplaces and was to be buried with him, according to his own wish.
Every one of the flowers in itwas connected with some chapter of his life. "Who is the dead man?" we asked. "The oldstudent," was the reply. "They say that he was once an energetic young man, that he studiedthe dead languages, and sang and even composed many songs; then something hadhappened to him, and in consequence of this he gave himself up to drink, body and mind.When at last he had ruined his health, they brought him into the country, where someone paidfor his board and residence. He was gentle as a child as long as the sullen mood did not comeover him;儿童英语童话故事带翻译
but when it came he was fierce, became as strong as a giant, and ran about in thewood like a chased deer. But when we succeeded in bringing him home, and prevailed upon himto open the book with the dried-up plants in it, he would sometimes sit for a whole day lookingat this or that plant, while frequently the tears rolled over his cheeks. God knows what was inhis mind; but he requested us to put the book into his coffin, and now he lies there. In a littlewhile the lid will be placed upon the coffin, and he will have sweet rest in the grave!" The clothwhich covered his face was lifted up;
the dead mans face expressed peace- a sunbeam fellupon it. A swallow flew with the swiftness of an arrow into the arbour, turning in its flight,and twittered over the dead mans head. What a strange feeling it is- surely we all know it- tolook through old letters of our young days; a different life rises up out of the past, as it were,with all its hopes and sorrows. How many of the people with whom in those days we used to beon intimate terms appear to us as if dead, and yet they are still alive- only we have notthought of them for such a long time, whom we imagined we should retain in our memories forever, and share every joy and sorrow with them. The withered oak leaf in the book here recalledthe friend, the schoolfellow, who was to be his friend for life.
He fixed the leaf to the studentscap in the green wood, when they vowed eternal friendship. Where does he dwell now? The leafis kept, but the friendship does no longer exist. Here is a foreign hothouse plant, too tender forthe gardens of the North. It is almost as if its leaves still smelt sweet! She gave it to him out ofher own garden- a noblemans daughter. Here is a water-lily that he had plucked himself, andwatered with salt tears- a lily of sweet water.
And here is a nettle: what may its leaves tell us?What might he have thought when he plucked and kept it? Here is a little snowdrop out of thesolitary wood;
here is an evergreen from the flower-pot at the tavern; and here is a simpleblade of grass. The lilac bends its fresh fragrant flowers over the dead mans head; theswallow passes again- "twit, twit;" now the men come with hammer and nails, the lid isplaced over the dead man, while his head rests on the dumb book- so long cherished, nowclosed for ever!
一本不说话的书
在公路旁的一个树林里，有一个孤独的农庄。人们沿着公路可以一直走进这农家的大院子里去。太阳在这儿照着；所有的窗子都是开着的。房子里面是一起忙碌的声音；但在院子里，在一个开满了花的紫丁香组成的凉亭下，停着一口敞着的棺材。一个死人已经躺在里面，这天上午就要入葬。棺材旁没有守着任何一个悼念死者的人；没有任何人对他流一滴眼泪。他的面孔是用一块白布盖着的，他的头底下垫着一大本厚书。书页是由一整张灰纸叠成的；每一页上夹着一朵被忘记了的萎谢了的花。这是一本完整的植物标本，在许多不同的地方搜集得来的。它要陪死者一起被埋葬掉，因为这是他的遗嘱。每朵花都联系到他生命的一章。“死者是谁呢？”我们问。回答是：“他是乌卜萨拉的一个老学生(註：乌卜萨拉是瑞典一个古老的大学。这儿常常有些学生，到老还没有毕业。)。人们说：他曾经是一个活泼的年轻人；他懂得古代的文学，他会唱歌，他甚至还写诗。但是由於他曾经遭遇到某种事故，他把他的思想和他的生命沉浸在烧酒里。当他的健康最后也毁在酒里的时候，他就搬到这个乡下来。别人供给他膳宿。只要阴郁的情绪不来袭击他的时候，他是纯洁得像一个孩子，因为这时他就变得非常活泼，在森林里跑来跑去，像一只被追逐着的雄鹿。不过，只要我们把他喊回家来，让他看看这本装满了干植物的书，他就能坐一整天，一会儿看看这种植物，一会儿看看那种植物。有时他的眼泪就沿着他的`脸滚下来：只有上帝知道他在想甚么东西！但是他要求把这本书装进他的棺材里去。因此现在它就躺在那里面。不一会儿棺材盖子就会钉上，那么他将在坟墓里得到他的安息。”
他的面布揭开了。死人的面上露出一种和平的表情。一丝太阳光射在它上面。一只燕子像箭似地飞进凉亭里来，很快地掉转身，在死人的头上喃喃地叫了几声。
我们都知道，假如我们把我们年轻时代的旧信拿出来读读，我们会产生一种多么奇怪的感觉啊！整个的一生和这生命中的希望和哀愁都会浮现出来。我们在那时来往很亲密的一些人，现在该是有多少已经死去了啊！然而他们还是活着的，只不过我们长久没有想到他们罢了。那时我们以为永远会跟他们亲密地生活在一起，会跟他们一起共甘苦。
这书里面有一起萎枯了的栎树叶子。它使这书的主人记起一个老朋友——一个老同学，一个终身的友伴。他在一个绿树林里面把这片叶子插在学生帽上，从那时其他们结为“终身的”朋友。现在他住在甚么地方呢？这片叶子被保存了下来，但是友情已经忘记了！
这儿有一棵异国的、在温室里培养出来的植物；对於北国的花园说来，它是太娇嫩了；它的叶子似乎还保留着它的香气。这是一位贵族花园里的小姐把它摘下来送给他的。
这儿有一朵睡莲。它是他亲手摘下来的，并且用他的鹹眼泪把它润湿过——这朵在甜水里生长的睡莲。
这儿有一根荨麻——它的叶子说明甚么呢？当他把它採下来和把它保存下来的时候，他心中在想些甚么呢？
这儿有一朵幽居在森林里的铃兰花；这儿有一朵从酒店的花盆里摘下来的金银花；这儿有一起尖尖的草叶！
开满了花的紫丁香在死者的头上轻轻垂下它新鲜的、芬芳的花簇。燕子又飞过去了。“唧唧！唧唧！”这时人们拿着钉子和锤子走来了。棺材盖在死者身上盖下了——他的头在这本不说话的书上安息。埋葬了——遗忘了！
At a sales conference, the manager of a company in the United States asked the attendees to stand up and see what was under his seat. As a result, everyone found money on their chairs, picked up at least one coin, and got one hundred dollars at most. The manager said: "all this money for you, but do you know why?" No one can guess why.
So the manager of a word to say, I just want to tell you a most easily ignored you even forget the truth: "sit still never earn money."
We often complain about the opportunity always pass you by. In fact, when you do not know the author and the wise, decide on what path to follow, this time has been resolutely stand up, seize the opportunity, only in this way, only in the opportunity comes, so as not to miss at a loss what to do. "Sit still never earn money."
在一个促销会上，美国某公司的经理请与会者站起来，看看自己的坐椅下有什么东西。结果每个人都在自己的坐椅上发现了钱，最少的捡到一枚硬币，最多的拿到一百美元。这位经理说：“这些钱都归你们了，但你们知道为什么吗？”没有人能猜出这是为什么。
于是经理一字一顿的说，我只不过想告诉你们一个最容易被大家忽视甚至忘掉的道理：“坐着不动是永远也赚不到钱的`。”
我们往往埋怨机缘总是与自己擦肩而过。实际上，当你作者瞻前顾后，不知何去何从时，那些智者，此时已果断地站起来，抓住了机缘，只有这样，才会在机缘到来时，不至于束手无策，与之失之交臂。“坐着不动是永远也赚不到钱的。”
Very Pleased to Meet You
During World War II, a lot of young women in Britain were in the army. Joan Phillips was one of them. She worked in a big camp, and of course met a lot of men, officers and soldiers.
One evening she met Captain Humphreys at a dance. He said to her, "I‘m going abroad tomorrow, but I‘d be very happy if we could write to each other." Joan agreed, and they wrote for several months.
Then his letters stopped, but she received one from another officer, telling her that he had been wounded and was in a certain army hospital in England.
Joan went there and said to the matron, "I‘ve come to visit Captain Humphreys."
"Only relatives are allowed to visit patients here," the matron said.
"Oh, that‘s all right," answered Joan. "I‘m his sister."
"I‘m very pleased to meet you," the matron said, "I‘m his mother!"
在第二次世界大战中，有许多年轻的妇女在军营中服役。琼。飞利浦斯是其中之一。她在一个大军营中工作，当然遇到了许多男士，包括军官和士兵。
一天晚上她在舞会上遇到了军官汉弗雷斯。他对她说，“我明天就要出国，但如果我们能够相互写信，我会很高兴。”琼同意了，于是他们几个月里一直通着信。
后来，他再没有来信。她收到了另一个军官的信，告诉她，他受伤了，住在英格兰的某个部队医院里。
琼到了医院，她对护士长说，“我来看望军官汉弗雷斯。”
“这里只有亲属可以探望病人。”护士长说。
“噢，是的，”琼说，“我是他的妹妹。”
“很高兴认识你，”护士长说，“我是他的母亲。”
The miser and his gold Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.
One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.
He was surprised, and then burst into the neighbors gathered around him.
He told them how he used to come and visit his gold. "Did you ever take any 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.
