风和太阳(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.”
(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)
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.
(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)
“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 soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)
NO.1 The crow and the pitcher(乌鸦和水罐)
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、从前有一只口渴的乌鸦。为了找到水源，她已在空中飞行了很长时间。突然她发现了一
保水罐。她飞落下来，发现罐里有一些水，但是水罐太深，她无法喝到罐里的水。
2、“但我一定要喝到这水，”她叫道，“我已累得飞不动了。我该怎么办？我明白了！我
该把水罐推倒。”
她用翅膀击打水罐，但水罐太沉了，她推不动它。
于是她想了一会儿。“这回我有办法了！我要打碎它！水从破罐子里流出来，我就能喝上
了。那将是多么甘美的水啊！”
3、她用尖喙、脚爪、翅膀去使劲地撞击水罐。但是水罐太坚固了。
可怜的乌鸦不得不停下来歇一会儿。“我现在该怎么办？我不能眼睁睁在水边渴死。只要
我开动脑筋，一定能找到办法。”
4、过了一会儿，乌鸦想出了一个聪明的办法。附近有很多小石子。她把它们一颗颗拣起来
扔进水罐，水慢慢地升高了。终于刀子可以喝上了，多么甘美的水啊！
5、“只要你充分发挥自己的才智，”乌鸦说，“在任何困难的地方都能找到解决问题的办
法。”

2. 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?
很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以"千镜屋"而著名的地方。一个乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观。当来到这个地方，他蹦蹦跳欢恰快的上了台阶，来到房门口，他高高竖起耳朵，欢快地摇着尾巴，从门口往里张望，他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快的摇尾巴。他灿烂地微笑着，回报他的是1000张热情，友好的灿烂笑脸。离开时他心想："这是一个精彩的地主，我一定要经常来参观。"
在这个村里还有另一只想参观"千镜屋"的小狗，他不及第一只小狗乐观，他慢吞吞地爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便开始冲他们狂吠，镜中的1000只小狗也冲着他狂吠，把他给吓坏了，他在离开时心想："这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。"
世界上所有的脸都是镜子，在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?

4、The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”
