探险的故事英语汇编19篇

早在青年时代，毛泽东就接触到英语。1910年毛泽东离开韶山老家，进入湘乡县城新式学堂——东山小学堂读书，那里有一个从日本留学回来的老师，教英语。所以，毛泽东是在17岁那年开始学习英语的。不过，在随后的革命战争年代，留给毛泽东学习英语的时间并不多，但只要有机会，他会抓紧时间“重操旧业”。

“拍拍-太根儿!”

抗战胜利后，面对由美国撑腰、武装到牙齿的国民党部队，中国共产党没有被“威慑”住。1946年8月6日下午，毛泽东在延安窑洞前半山坡平台上的一个小石桌旁，会见了美国女记者斯特朗。他谈笑风生，纵论天下。交谈中，毛泽东把身子向后一仰，开怀地得出结论：“美国反动派是……”他停顿了一下，显然是在找合适的词，“纸老虎。”因为英语里没有相对应之词，翻译只好将它译成了“scarecrow(稻草人)”。毛泽东让翻译停下来，要斯特朗解释“scarecrow”是什么意思。斯特朗回答说，那是用稻草扎成的人形，农民把它竖到田里来吓唬乌鸦。毛泽东立即表示这样译不好，这不是他的意思。他说，纸老虎并不是吓唬乌鸦的死东西，它是用来吓唬孩子的。它看起来像一只凶猛的野兽，但实际上是纸糊的，一受潮就会发软，一阵大雨就会把它冲掉。

于是，由“纸(paper)”和“老虎(tiger)”这两个单词组合，临时造出的一个英语中没有的复合词“paper-tiger”就出现了，这实际上是硬译。毛泽东高兴地笑了，用带着浓重湖南腔的英语说：“拍拍-太根儿!”“paper-tiger”后来便随着毛泽东的着名论断，在全世界广泛流传了，它也成了毛泽东最喜欢说的一个英语单词。

1954年正式提出学习英文

一直到新中国成立以后，毛泽东提倡干部学习外文。这时有了非常好的条件，学英文才成为他的一种爱好。1954年，林克(毛泽东英文秘书)到他身边工作时，毛泽东正式提出要向林克学习英文。但毛泽东并不使用英语教科书循序渐进地“上课”，而是自己设计了一种独特的“学英文”方式：念英语文章，一个词、一个词地查字典对照着念。毛泽东那时熟悉的英文词语并不多，于是先从阅读英文版《人民中国》、《北京周报》短文，新华社的英文新闻稿入手。众所周知，这种学英语的方法效率并不高，只有“吃力不讨好”，随读随忘记。但是毛泽东一意孤行。

上世纪五六十年代，毛泽东学习英语的兴致最高。他在国内巡视工作期间，无论在火车上、轮船上，随时都用自己的方式“学习英语”。1960年的《莫斯科会议声明》发表以后，他写信问林克：“莫斯科声明英文译本出版了没有?请你找两本来，我准备和你对读一遍。”如此这般将英文译本“对读一遍”，毛泽东遇到不少困难，生词很多。但毛泽东不畏困难。

毛泽东在外国人面前“秀”英语

毛泽东与外国人会面的时候，还喜欢“秀”一把英语。

1970年12月18日凌晨7时许，毛泽东身着睡衣，膝盖上盖着一条毛毯，在中南海住处与美国记者斯诺海阔天空的谈话持续了整整5个小时，一直到午后1点钟。进“早餐”的时候，毛泽东宴请斯诺，王海容(记录)、唐闻生(翻译)作陪。宾主入座，毛泽东起立与斯诺热情碰杯。斯诺用中文祝酒：“毛主席万岁!” 毛泽东则用英语回应：“Long live Snow (斯诺万岁)!”毛泽东接着又跟坐在自己身旁的王海容、唐闻生碰杯，然后对斯诺幽默地说：“我看你这个说了半天 woman(妇女)解放的人就是不尊重 woman，你都不跟她们碰杯……”

“毛泽东学英语处”

有着“天下第一名园”美誉的杭州刘庄，有一座傍水而建的精致小楼，是毛泽东来杭州多次住过的一号楼，人们称作“主席楼”。在“主席楼”后面一条小路旁的树阴下，有一块秀石，上书“毛泽东学英语处”几个红字。有张毛泽东与林克一起学习英语的照片作为佐证，这可能是全国唯一一个纪念毛泽东学英语的地方，也成为了西湖一景。旁边一块低矮的石头表面已有些光滑，显然是由于游人坐在这里拍照留念久而久之被磨光的。

1975年除夕——毛泽东最后的英文水平

1975年12月31日子夜，毛泽东会见了美国前总统尼克松的女儿朱莉和女婿戴维。

这两名美国青年注意到，在他们面前，82岁的毛泽东尽管已被疾病折磨得精疲力尽，“斗争”的话题却使他又“像青年人那样兴奋起来，他的头脑甚至比中国的年轻一辈更充满活力，更渴望斗争”。

毛泽东说：“我们这里有阶级斗争，八亿人口，不斗行吗?”并且用他的湖南腔调的发音着重说出了英语：“Class struggle!”

Class struggle这两个英文单词，既代表了毛泽东最后的英文水平，也代表了毛泽东的一生。

两个树洞

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.

我的叔叔有两条狗。一只是大的，另一只是小狗的。他很喜欢它们。

有一天，史密斯先生来看他。当这个朋友看见门口上有连个洞，一个是大洞和一个小洞时，他感到吃惊并说，;我亲爱的朋友，为什么你的门上有连个洞?;我的叔叔回答说：;当然是让我的两条狗进出了。 史密斯先生问到："为什么门上要两个洞呢?一个就足够了。"我叔叔说：;大狗怎能走小洞呢?;

今天是周末，天气很好，阳光明媚，晴空万里，我和我的伙伴戴昊轩要去干一件很有挑战性的事情，我们要去夺得“勇者微章，”穿上装备，准备出发了。

在船上，我心里七上八下，是因为只要拿到微章，爸爸会奖励我，可又有些害怕，是因为听说海里有很多惊险的事。最后，爸爸嘱咐了一句：“水母一定不能摸，有剧毒的！”“明白了”我答应着，扑通一下就跳下去了。

在海里我惊呆了，那五颜六色的珊瑚向我微笑着点头，好像在说：“欢迎欢迎。”那各种各样的小鱼无忧无虑地游着，有的说说笑笑，有的在欢乐地玩耍，还有的在练习游泳，我看到这些美丽的画面，心情顿时好了起来，游着游着，我突然游不了了，我使劲往前，可还是游不动，回头一看，原来海草把我缠住了，我的伙伴手中拿剑不停地砍着海草，但是没用，海草砍断了马上又长出来。我想了想说：“戴昊轩，不要砍了。”然后我慢慢地将海草一圈一圈地解开，慢慢地游了出去，终于出来了。我舒了一口气。突然我发现一棵海草一下子变成了一颗绿色宝珠，上面写着“智慧”二字，我小心翼翼地把它摘下来，装进口袋里。

在这美丽的海里，所有东西都是那么可爱，一只水母宝宝游了过来，粉嘟嘟的，我们喜爱得不行，戴昊轩一下子勾过来摸了一下，又软又弹。糟了！爸爸说水母有剧毒，我大喊，戴昊轩听到我的叫声，举起手调皮地向我晃了晃，“我戴着手套昵”说完又用手轻轻地摸着手母，玩了一会儿，我们又继续往前游，忽然，鱼儿们都往与我们相反的方向游去，我们很好奇，不知道发生了什么事情，透过鱼群，隐隐约约我们看到一个庞大的影子，那影子离我们越来越近，“是鲨鱼！”我吓得直打哆嗦，戴昊轩说：“不要怕，只要心中不怕，你就可以战胜它。”说完我们昂首挺胸地站着，准备迎接鲨鱼的攻击，可就在鲨鱼血盆大口离我们越来越近的时候，它却逐渐变小，变成了一颗蓝宝石，上面写着“勇气”二字，我又把它装到了口袋里，我的口袋的绿宝石和蓝宝石一下子变成了两个微章，我们高兴极了。

回到家，我问爸爸要奖励：“你们其实已经得到了。”爸爸笑着对我说，我恍然大悟，原来收获了勇气和智慧就是最好的礼物。

It happened that the cat met Mr. Fox in the woods. She thought, "He is intelligent and well experienced, and is highly regarded in the world," so she spoke to him in a friendly manner, "Good-day, my dear Mr. Fox. How is it going? How are you? How are you getting by in these hard times?"

The fox, filled with arrogance, examined the cat from head to feet, and for a long time did not know whether he should give an answer. At last he said, "Oh, you poor beard-licker, you speckled fool, you hungry mouse hunter, what are you thinking? Have you the nerve to ask how I am doing? What do you know? How many tricks do you understand?"

"I understand but one," answered the cat, modestly.

"What kind of a trick is it?" asked the fox.

"When the dogs are chasing me, I can jump into a tree and save myself."

"Is that all?" said the fox. "I am master of a hundred tricks, and in addition to that I have a sackful of cunning. I feel sorry for you. Come with me, and I will teach you how one escapes from the dogs."

Just then a hunter came by with four dogs. The cat jumped nimbly up a tree, and sat down at its top, where the branches and foliage completely hid her.

"Untie your sack, Mr. Fox, untie your sack," the cat shouted to him, but the dogs had already seized him, and were holding him fast.

"Oh, Mr. Fox," shouted the cat. "You and your hundred tricks are left in the lurch. If you been able to climb like I can, you would not have lost your life."

一只猫在森林里遇到一只狐狸，心想：“他又聪明，经验又丰富，挺受人尊重的。”於是它很友好地和狐狸打招呼：“日安，尊敬的狐狸先生，您好吗?这些日子挺艰难的，您过得怎么样?”

狐狸傲慢地将猫从头到脚地打量了一番，半天拿不定主意是不是该和它说话。最后它说：“哦，你这个倒霉的长着鬍子、满身花纹的傻瓜、饥肠辘辘地追赶老鼠的傢伙，你会啥?有甚么资格问我过得怎么样?你都学了点甚么本事?”

“我只有一种本领。”猫谦虚地说。

“甚么本领?”狐狸问。

“有人追我的时候，我会爬到树上去藏起来保护自己。”

“就这本事?”狐狸不屑地说，“我掌握了上百种本领，而且还有满口袋计谋。我真觉得你可怜，跟着我吧，我教你怎么从追捕中逃生。”

就在这时，猎人带着四条狗走近了。猫敏捷地窜到一棵树上，在树顶上蹲伏下来，茂密的树叶把它遮挡得严严实实。

“快打开你的计谋口袋，狐狸先生，快打开呀!”猫冲着狐狸喊道。可是猎狗已经将狐狸扑倒咬住了。“哎呀，狐狸先生，”猫喊道，“你的千百种本领就这么给扔掉了!假如你能像我一样爬树就不至於丢了性命了!”

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, "Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."

[英语哲理故事有哪些

1914年，著名的极地探险家欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士率领着由28人组成的英国探险队，驾驶着“坚韧”号木制探险船开始了南极探险之旅。可才出发两天，“坚韧”号就遭到了大片浮冰和冰山的撞击，行进艰难。

6个星期以后的一个晚上，沙克尔顿命令队员们关闭引擎以节省燃料。结果到了早上，“坚韧”号搁浅在浮冰之中，既无法破冰，又无法与外界联系求援。队员们只得在“坚韧”号上过冬，等到春天冰化了之后再出发。好在他们出发之前带了足够的食品和衣物，而且船上的木匠也把队员们居住的船舱打造得非常舒适。

为了保持士气，沙克尔顿设法使每个人都很繁忙，每个人也都平等，例如：吃饭时安排大学教授坐在渔夫身边;组织大家在船舱里为家乡的亲人歌唱和敬酒……通过这些活动，在队员之间建立了友谊，使大家明白了：力量来自于团结。

春天到了，冰块开始活动了，但这非但没有给“坚韧”号出路，反而撞坏了这条船。沙克尔顿的梦想破灭了。但他又设立了新目标;把他的队员们救出来。

队员们几次尝试用船上的携带的3艘救生艇突出浮冰的包围，但怎么那出不去，唯一的选择是在冰上扎营，希望浮冰能漂得离陆地近一些。几个月过去了，食品也变得紧张起来，开始限量供应，每个人每天只有一磅的食物。队员们的肚子总是填不饱，衣服总是湿的，但沙克尔顿想尽一切办法让大家团结在一起。

在冰上漂了5个月后，冰块开始破裂，冰下传出海水的声音，队员们把救生艇放下了水。可是能够宿营的冰块没有了，队员们日夜坐在船上，在风雨雪交加之中冻得瑟瑟发抖，只能靠彼此的臂弯取一点暖。漂流了4天后，他们非但没有前进一英里，反而被洋流推远了30英里!沙克尔顿意识到，他们必须到达附近的象岛才能得救。

在“坚韧”号船长弗兰克·沃斯利的丰富航海经验指导下，他们在7天后到达了象岛。可是这个岛上荒无人烟，不可能有人来救他们。沙克尔顿决定孤注一掷，带5个人划最大的一艘救生艇，在世界上最凶猛的海上航行200英里，到南乔治岛的捕鲸站去寻求帮助。

当这6个人穿越风浪，躲过龙卷风的袭击，17天后终于到达南乔治岛时，却发现最近的捕鲸站在岛的另一边，可救生艇已经没法再航行了。

为了在象岛上等待救援的22个队友，沙克尔顿、船长弗兰克·沃斯利和大副汤姆·克林开始徒步穿越人类不曾了解的南乔治岛。他们衣衫褴褛、装备匮乏，但是不眠不休地走啊走，只用了36小时就翻过了大大小小的冰川和山脉，到达了捕鲸站，见到了久违的人类同胞。同样的路程，当代最出色的登山好手携带最先进的装备，在2000年用了整整3天才走完。

情势危急，捕鲸站先派了一条小船去营救留在南乔治岛另一边的3个队员，然后沙克尔顿又借了一条大船，前去营救困在象岛上的22个人。

经过了3次艰苦努力，1916年8月30日，本以为沙克尔顿他们已经葬身海底的队员们，终于看到了救援船。28个人，在极地700多天，最后全都安然无恙。这不仅在当时，就是今天也堪称奇迹，被誉为“成功的失败”，沙克尔顿也被公认为“有史以来最伟大的领导者”。

Snow-white

Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden-snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the hunts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.

The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white."

Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white.

But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child.

One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman.

A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queens room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Year went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all."

When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am."

Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.

After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her."

The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the Kings house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away.

Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, "I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me."

She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table, and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds.

The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water.

But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Mens bed. They said, "She is very beautiful."

Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid. The Little men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story.

They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in the hut with the seven Little Men.

After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queens servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest." The Queen was very angry when she heard that Snow-white was not dead.

The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?" Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said, "I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you will know that it is good."

Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When the powder was in her mouth, she fell down dead. The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. she looked into the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" The glass said, "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Then the Queen know that Snow-white was dead.

The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried. Then they put Snow-white in a box made of glass. They took the glass box to a hill and put it there, and said, "Everyone who goes by will see how beautiful she was." Then each Little Man put one white flower on the box, and they went away.

Just as they were going away, a Prince came by. He saw the glass box and said, "What is that?" Then he saw Snow-white in the box. He said, "She was very beautiful: but do not put her there. There is a hall in the garden of my fathers house. It is all made of white stone. We will take the glass box and put it in the hall of beautiful white stone."

The Little Men said, "Take her." Then the Prince told his servants to take up the box. They took up the box. Just then one of the servants fell down. The box fell, and Snow-white fell with the box. The bit of apple fell out of her mouth: she awoke, and sat up, and said, "Where am I?"

The Prince said, "You are with me. I never saw anyone as beautiful as you. Come with me and be my Queen."

The Prince married Snow-white, and she became his Queen.

A man went and told this to the bad Queen. When she heard it she was so angry that she fell down dead.

Snow-white lived and was very happy ever after. And the Little Men came to see her every year.

白雪公主

从前，有一个王后，她坐在窗户旁。窗外的花园里积满了雪，山上是雪，小路上是雪，树上和屋顶上也积着雪，万物一片白茫茫。她手中拿着些布和一枚针，她手中的不就像雪一样洁白。王后正在为小孩做一件上衣，她说：“我想我的孩子能够像这布一样白，想雪一样白，我要叫她白雪公主。”

几天之后，王后生了个小孩，这个孩子白得像雪一样，王后给她取名为“白雪公主”。但是，王后得了重病，几天以后就去世了。白雪公主活了下来，她是一个十分幸福和美丽的孩子。

王后去世一年以后，国王又娶了一位王后。新王后十分漂亮，但是，她不是一个善良的女人。一个巫师给了新王后一面镜子，这面镜子会说话，它挂在王后房间的墙上，每天王后照着镜子，欣赏自己多么漂亮。当她照镜子的时候，她问：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的人？”于是魔镜开口说道：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”

过了数年，白雪公主长成大人了。当白雪公主是一个年轻姑娘时，有一天，王后照着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的？”魔镜说：“白雪公主是世界上最漂亮的。”

当王后听到这些话时，非常恼怒，她说：“白雪公主没有我漂亮，没有一个人比我更漂亮。”然后，王后坐在床上哭了。一小时后，王后从她的房间走出来，她叫来一个仆人说：“把白雪公主带到森林中杀掉。”

仆人带着白雪公主到了森林，但他没有杀死她，因为她太美丽太善良了。他说：“我不会杀死你的，但是，你不能回王宫，因为，王后很生气，她会看到你的。如果王后发现你，她会让别人杀死你的。你就呆在森林里，会有朋友来帮助你的。”然后，他走了。

可怜的白雪公主坐在一棵树底下哭了，这时，她看到天快黑了，她说：“我不哭了，我要找所房子今晚好睡觉，我不能呆在这儿了，熊会吃了我的。”她往森林深处走去，这时，她发现了一座小屋，她打开小屋的门，走了进去。在小屋里，她看到七张小床，还有一张桌子，桌子上有七块小面包和七个小杯子。她吃了其中一块面包，然后说：“我想喝点水。”于是，她又喝了一个杯子中的一些水。之后，她躺在一张小床上睡着了。

这座小屋是七个小矮人的家。当天黑下来的时候，七个小矮人回到小屋。每个小矮人都留着一副大胡子，穿一件小蓝上衣。小矮人进了小屋，每个人都点上他们的小灯，然后，小矮人都坐下，开始吃面包，喝小杯里的水。

但是，一个小矮人说：“有人把我小面包吃了。”另一个小矮人说：“有人把我的小杯子里的水喝了。”然后，七个小矮人去睡觉。可是一个小矮人说：“有人正睡在我的小床上。”七个小矮人都过来看睡在小矮人床上的白雪公主。他们说：“她真漂亮。”

白雪公主醒了，发现七个留着大胡子的小矮人正站在她床旁，她很害怕。小矮人们说：“别害怕，我们是你的好朋友，告诉我们你是怎么来这儿的。”白雪公主说：“我告诉你们。”接着她就给他们讲述了自己的经历。他们说：“不要害怕。就在这儿和我们住在一起，但是，我们不在家的时候，你一定要关上门，千万别出去。如果你出去了，坏王后会发现你，这样，她知道你没有死，会让人来杀死你。”于是，白雪公主和七个小矮人在这座小屋里生活着。

几天以后，白雪公主去了一趟花园。王后的一个仆人正经过这片森林，他发现了阿。他回去告诉了王后：“白雪公主在森林的一座小屋里。”王后听说白雪公主没有死，十分恼火。

王后拿来一个苹果，她在苹果红的一边挖了一个洞，把一些毒的粉末放在这个洞里。然后，她穿上一身旧衣服，去了小屋。她喊：“屋里有人吗？”白雪公主打开门，出来见她。王后说：“我有一些漂亮的苹果，吃一个尝尝吧？”白雪公主拿着苹果说：“这好吃吗？”王后说：“瞧，我吃苹果白的一半，你吃红的一半，你会知道它味道不错。”白雪公主吃了苹果红的一半，当粉末进入她嘴里时，她倒下去死了。

王后回到家，进了自己的房间，对着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的。”魔镜说：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”于是，王后知道白雪公主已经死了。

小矮人们回到小屋，发现白雪公主死了。可怜的小矮人们全都哭了。然后，他们把白雪公主放进玻璃棺材里，并把它抬到山坡上，安放在那里，说：“每位经过这里的人都会看见她是多么美丽。”接着每个小矮人在棺材上放了一朵白花，然后离开了。

他们刚刚要离开，一位王子从此经过，他看着玻璃棺材说：“那是什么？”这时，他发现白雪公主躺在里面，他说：“她太美丽了，把能把她放在这里，在父亲的王宫里有一座大厅，整个大厅都是用白石头砌成，我们把玻璃棺材搬到那所漂亮的白石大厅里。”小矮人们说：“抬走她吧。”

然后，王子告诉他的仆人抬起棺材。他们抬起它时，不巧一个仆人跌倒了。把棺材也摔到地上，白雪公主随同棺材跌了下来，那块苹果从她嘴里掉了出来，她醒了过来，坐起来说：“我这是在哪儿？”王子说：“你跟我在一起，我从来没有见过一位像你这么美丽的人，跟我来，做我的王后吧。”王子和白雪公主结婚了，她成了王后。

一个人去把这些消息告诉了坏王后，当她听到这些，气得倒下死去了。从那以后，白雪公主一直生活得很幸福。每年小矮人们都来看她。

After the stealing of fire,Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he

ordered his son Hephaestus to build an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.A charming young lady,she was the first woman that ever lived.Zeus called her Pandora.Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.The gift was harmful to men.

Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present. So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus. The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her, and Epimetheus happily received her into his house. He had quite forgotten Pometheus warning: never to accept anything from Zeus.

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was a curious woman. She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask. One day, when Epimetheus was out, she lifted the lid and out it came unrest and war, Plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief, sorrow, and all the other evils. The human world was hence to experience these evils. Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out. So men always have hope within their hearts.

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。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。

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。

Long, long ago, a farmer thought the shoots in his fields were not growing fast enough. He wanted to help them.So he pulled every shoot up, then went home, feeling very tired but very satisfied.

"I an very tired today," he said to his family, "Ive been helping the young shoots to grow."When his son heard this, he ran out to the fields to have a look.To his surprise, he found all the shoots weredead.

很久很久以前，一个农夫感觉他田里的幼苗长得不是很快，他想帮助它们。于是他就向上拔它们，然后回了家，虽然感觉很累但是却很满意。他默默地想：“瞧我多么的伟大，我能想出如此好的办法。从现在起，我的幼苗将会生长得越来越快。”于是他对家人说：“我今天累坏了，我在帮助幼苗生长。”当他的儿子听到这话，便匆忙跑到地里去看。让他吃惊的是，他发现所有的幼苗都死了。

这上天，我看了一部并于外星人的一部片子，所以，我做了这样的一个梦。

2054年，我登上“发现者”1号，在火星和“水谷”旁边降落了中。四光突突的，什么都没有。咦？我的火星GPS怎么有一个红点？放大一看，呀！在西北方向500米处有一个SOS和求救信号，出队里气氛一下了紧张起来，晕里也能接收一地球的信号吗？难道是风年前在火星消失的“生命”4号？队员们七嘴八舌的底座起来。“我们的时间有限，先完成任务吧！”“不，先救人，毕竟他们是我们的同胞呀！”正当我们不知所措时，远处走来了一群头大身小，直立行走的人国。这些人在离我们四五米的地方停了下来，一个领头的人说：“你们好，地球人，我是火星‘酋长’你们的脚下是‘生命’4号的掩埋地，‘生命’4号刚到火星时，因降落的不稳定，失事掉进了山谷，被太阳风卷起的尘土掩埋了。”

“你怎么会说地球语言？”我问。

“之前，‘生命’4号的一名队员幸存下来我们互相交流、学习。”

在火星酋长的帮助下，我们接回队员，又和它们交换了一点物种，还和它们签定了友好协议。

正在我们返回地球的一刹那，闹钟突然响了。为什么，为什么？我还想在火箭里多呆一会儿呢！

[英语故事读后感

麦哲伦是葡萄牙著名航海家和探险家，先后为葡萄牙(1505～1512)和西班牙(1519～1521)作航海探险。

从西班牙出发，绕过南美洲，发现麦哲伦海峡，然后横渡太平洋。虽在菲律宾被杀，他的船只继续西航回到西班牙，完成第一次环球航行。被认为是第个环球航行的人。

麦哲伦出身于贵族家庭，1518年出任远征船队队长，前往为西班牙开辟新的通往摩鹿加的路线。麦哲伦自信能发现一条从大西洋通往南面的海的海峡。1519年9月20日船队启航，270名水手来自9个国家。9月26日到达特内里费岛，10月3日继续向巴西远航;曾在几内亚岸外停泊。11月29日航行到圣奥古斯丁角西南方27里格处(1里格约为5千米)。绕过卡布弗里乌之后，12月13日，船队到达里约热内卢湾。次年3月到达圣朱利安港。

在镇压了西班牙船长们发起的叛乱后，1520年8月24日离开圣利安港，船队继续南下，10月21日绕过维尔京角时，在南纬52度50分处进入他们要找的海峡(后以麦哲伦的名字命名)。到达淘峡西端，船队只剩下3条船。10月28日进入“南面的海”。回海域风平浪静，被称为“太平洋”。船员们忍受着饥饿的折磨，借助于秘鲁洋流的推动，在麦哲伦无情的决定下，进行横渡太平洋的伟大航行。

12月18日船队从智利海岸向西北航行，1521年1月24日才看见陆地，可能是土阿莫图群岛的普卡普卡。2月13日在西经158度处穿过赤道，3月6日在马里亚纳群岛中的关岛首次登陆，获得99天以来第一次弄到的新鲜食品。3月9日起航，向西南方向进发。后在今菲律宾群岛的马萨瓦登陆，为西班牙在太平洋找到第一个同盟者。在宿务岛，使地方统治者及其官员们皈依天主教。不到两个月之后，4月27日麦哲伦在麦克坦岛上与当地人作战时被杀。

麦哲伦死后，只有两条船到达摩鹿加，而只有“维多利亚”号于1522年9月由埃尔卡诺指挥回到西班牙。生还者还有另外17名欧洲人和4名印第安人。埃尔卡诺从太平洋绕好望角回到大西洋，证明地球是圆的。

麦哲伦是第一个横跨太平洋的人，证明了地球是圆的，我们人类的文明又因为他而跨进了一大步，他大胆的言论与当时的社会有着很大的冲突、他那顽强不屈的拼搏精神让我们敬佩。

他用3年的航行时间来证明他的言论、并因此弄丢了自己的生命。用实践证明，改变了当时的社会观念，地球是一个球体。

无论是往东还是往西始终都会回到原点、这在人类历史上、是永远不可磨灭的伟大功勋!麦哲伦是一位名副其实的探险家。

Zhuangzi was sitting by Pushui Rievr, fishing leisurely1.

Chu Weiwang, king of the state of Chu, sent two ministers to come to persuade him accepting the position of Prime Minister.

Zhuangzi asked, "It is heard that a holy tortoise which has been dead for three thousand years is treated as the national treasure and put in the holy temple. So, ministers, do you think the tortoise would rather to live in the slush, pulling its tail; than to enjoy the aterlife honor?"

"We think it would rather to be alive!" the ministers answered. "Then, you could leave now. I prefer living freely." Zhuangzi said.

庄子悠闲地坐在濮水河边钓鱼。

楚威王派二位大臣游说庄子，希望他接受楚国相国的职位。

庄子问道：“听说贵国有只神龟，已死三千年，楚王将它作为镇国之宝，珍藏在庙堂之中。两位认为这乌龟愿意享有死后的尊荣还是宁肯拖着尾巴在烂泥里活着？”

楚国使丞回答说：“我们认为他愿意活着！”庄子听了这话，对二人说：“好了，两位走吧。我也愿意拖着尾巴在这烂泥中自由自在地活着。”

1 leisurely

adj.悠闲的；从容的，慢慢的

参考例句：

We walked in a leisurely manner,looking in all the windows.我们慢悠悠地走着，看遍所有的橱窗。

He had a leisurely breakfast and drove cheerfully to work.他从容的吃了早餐，高兴的开车去工作。

One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

一天， 老马让小马驮着半口袋麦子到磨坊去磨面。

小马驮着口袋朝着磨坊跑去。忽然，一天小河挡住了去路，河水哗哗地流着。小马为难了，怎么办呢?它向四周望了望，看见一头老牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛伯伯，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗?”老牛说：“能。谁很浅，刚没小腿。”

小马听了老牛的话，正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河!河水会把你淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就是掉到这条河里淹死的!”小马不知如何是好，决定回家问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”

小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦?”小马说：“让我试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

这则寓言告诉我们:实践出真知。

The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating mans behavior.

People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distillers grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure3 them into traps and cursed:"Humph! Do you think we dont know your tricks? Well never be taken in!"

So they called one another, turned round and left.

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldnt bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation5, they finally said to themselves: "Just for a taste of the wine. It wont matter as long as we dont get drunk."

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla1 put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

忘乎所以

南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂：“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说：“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

在我童年时代，我就对探险产生极大的兴趣，我十分希望自己能成为一名探险家。在2021年的一天，我的理想实现了，我以优秀的成绩考上了“探险学院”。在学院里我学到了不少知识，对以后成为一个真正的探险家打好基础。

一天，我正在家中休息。突然接到一份英国科学院发来的中文电报，上面写到：“请到刚果野猩林探险，马上出发。”我马上拿出多能背包，装上耐热耐寒，防火衣，高营养食物，喷射鞋，红外线激光枪和激光剑，就来到我的高速飞船“黑鹰”上，我开动“黑鹰”，输入要去的地方，三秒的时间，我就从中国来到了刚果。“黑鹰”降落后，我走出飞船，用喷射鞋，几分钟就到了野猩林。我关了喷射鞋，慢步走，了一会儿，从前方传来狮子的叫声，我马上趴下，向发出叫声的地方爬去。一幕令人会失声大叫的场面出现在我的眼前。四只雄狮面对一只银背猩猩。

四只狮子同时向猩猩扑来，那只银背猩猩左一闪，右一躲，躲过了两只狮子，另外两只向猩猩爪去，猩猩猛地一拳，把一只狮子打飞出几米远，另一只被猩猩一拳打在头上，打得脑浆飞溅，死了。被猩猩躲开的两只狮子，又向猩猩扑去，猩猩先是一脚，把一只狮子踢落山，另一只被猩猩压在地上，揑着气管死了。最后那只狮子被猩猩打死了。猩猩大叫，我不由得一惊，动了。那猩猩向我追来，我马上按喷射鞋，猩猩已把我压在地上，我正想用激光枪，但它松手了，我一看，原来是在“探险学院”的养猩猩。猩猩请我到它“家”，又给香蕉、又给鸟蛋。几小时后，我要回去了，我们依依不舍地分别，我又坐上了“黑鹰”，飞回了家。这次探险令我知道，人和动物之间是有感情的，我想告诉全世界人民，不要杀害动物!

“吼吼吼……”我的猩猩闹钟把我叫醒了，原来这是一场梦。

说实话，我做梦都想当一位探险家，俗话说：“功夫不负有心人”。我相信，我只要努力学习，立下大志，将来一定能有这么的一天!
