第三篇：寓言小故事文言文及翻译

小故事文言文及翻译

1、刻舟求剑

原文：

楚（周代国名，都城在今湖北江陵县北）人有涉江者，其剑自舟中坠于水，遽契（jù qì)其舟，曰：“是吾（wú）剑之所从坠。”舟止，从其所契者入水求之。舟已行矣（yǐ），而剑不行，求剑若此，不亦惑乎！

————节选自《吕氏春秋·察今》

译文：

楚国有个渡江的人，他的剑从船里掉入水中，他急忙在剑掉下去的地方刻了个记号，说：“这儿是我的剑掉下去的地方。”船停下来后，他便从自己刻记号的地方下水去寻找剑。船已经向前走了，而剑没有，像这样找剑，岂不是太糊涂了吗？

2、自相矛盾

原文：

楚人有鬻盾与矛者，誉之曰：“吾盾之坚，物莫能陷也。”又誉其矛曰：“吾矛之利，于物无不陷也。”或曰：“以子之矛陷于之盾，何如？”其人弗能应也。夫不可陷之盾与无不陷之矛，不可同世而立。

译文：

楚国有个卖矛和盾的人，夸他的盾说：“我的盾很坚固，任何武器都刺不破它。”又夸他的矛说：“我的矛很锐利，没有东西穿不透的。”有人质问他：“拿你的矛去刺你的盾，结果会怎样？”那人便答不上话来了。本来，坚不可破的盾和无坚不穿的矛是不可能同时并存的。

3、郑人买履

原文：

郑人有欲买履者，先自度其足，而置之其坐，至之市而忘操之。已得履，乃曰：“吾忘持其度。”反归取之。及反，市罢，遂不得履。人曰：“何不试之以足？” 曰：“宁信度,无自信也。”

译文：

有个想要买鞋子的郑国人，他先在家里量了自己的脚，把尺码放在了他的座位上。到了前往集市的时候，却忘了带量好的尺码。他已经拿到鞋子，（才发现自己忘了带尺寸了）就说：“我忘记带尺码了。”返回家去取尺寸。等到他赶回来，集市已经散了，最终没有买到鞋。有人问他说：“你为什么不用自己的脚试一试鞋子的大小呢？”他回答说：“我宁可相信尺码，也不相信自己的脚！”

4、买椟还珠

原文：

楚人有卖其珠于郑者，为木兰之柜，薰以桂.椒，缀以珠玉，饰以玫瑰，辑以翡羽。郑人买其椟而还其珠。此可谓善鬻椟矣，未可谓善鬻珠也。译文：

有一个楚国人卖他的珠子给郑国人，用木兰做了一个匣子，用桂椒熏染它，用珠玉装饰它，再用火齐珠镶嵌它，最后用翠鸟的羽毛点缀它。但那个郑国人买了他的匣子却退还了他的珍珠。这可以说是善于卖匣子了，不能说是善于卖珍珠。

5、狐假虎威

原文：

虎求百兽而食之，得狐。狐曰：“子无敢食我也！天帝使我长百兽，今子食我，是逆天帝命也。子以我为不信，吾为子先行，子随我后，观百兽之见我而敢不走乎。”虎以为然故遂与之行。兽见之皆走。虎不知兽畏己而走也，以为畏狐也。

译文:

老虎寻找各种野兽吃掉他们，抓到（一只）狐狸。狐狸说：“您不敢吃我！天帝派遣我来做各种野兽的首领，现在你吃掉我，是违背天帝的命令。你认为我的（话）不诚实，我在你前面行走，你跟随在我后面，观看各种野兽看见我有敢不逃跑的吗？”老虎认为（狐狸的话）是有道理的，所以就和它（一起）走。野兽看见它们都逃跑了。老虎不知道野兽是害怕自己而逃跑的，认为（它们）是害怕狐狸。

6、掩耳盗铃

原文：

范氏之亡也，百姓有得钟者，欲负而走，则钟大不可负；以锤毁之，钟况然有声。恐人闻之而夺己也，遽掩其耳。恶人闻之，可也；恶己自闻之，悖也！译文：

范氏逃亡的时候，有个人趁机偷了一口钟，想要背着它逃跑。但是，这口钟太大了，不好背，他就打算用锤子砸碎以后再背。谁知，刚砸了一下，那口钟就“咣”地发出了很大的响声。他生怕别人听到钟声，来把钟夺走了，就急忙把自己的两只耳朵紧紧捂住继续敲。害怕别人听到钟的声音，这是可以理解的；但捂住自己的耳朵就以为别人也听不到了，这就太荒谬了。

7、揠苗助长

原文：

宋人有闵其苗之不长而揠之者，芒芒然归，谓其人曰：“今日病矣！予助苗长矣！”其子趋而往视之，苗则槁矣。

天下之不助苗长者寡矣！以为无益而舍之者，不耘苗者也；助之长者，揠苗者也；非徒无益，而又害之。译文：

有个担忧他的禾苗长不高而把禾苗往上拔的宋国人，一天下来十分疲劳但很满足，回到家对他的家人说：“今天可把我累坏了，我帮助禾苗长高了！”他儿子听说后急忙到地里去看苗（的情况），然而苗都枯萎了。

天下不希望自己禾苗长得快一些的人很少啊！以为禾苗长大没有用处而放弃的人，就像是不给禾苗锄草的懒汉。妄自帮助它生长的人，就像这个拔苗助长的人，不但没有好处，反而害了它。

8守株待兔

原文：

宋人有耕田者。田中有株，兔走触株，折颈而死。因释其耒而守株，冀复得兔。兔不可复得，而身为宋国笑。——《韩非子》 译文：

从前宋国有个农民，他的田地中有一颗树桩。一天，一只跑地飞快的兔子撞在了树桩上，扭断了脖子而死。从此，那个农民荒废了他的耕作，天天等在树桩旁，希望能再得到只兔子。当然，兔子是没等到，他自己却成了宋国的笑柄。画蛇添足

原文：楚有祠者，赐其舍人卮酒。舍人相谓曰：“数人饮之不足，一人饮之有余。请画地为蛇，先成者饮酒。” 一人蛇先成,引酒且饮之,乃左手持卮,右手画蛇,曰：“吾能为之足。”未成，一人之蛇成，夺其卮曰：“蛇固无足，子安能为之足？”遂饮其酒。为蛇足者，终亡其酒。译文：

楚国有个祭祀的人，祭过祖宗以后，便把一壶祭酒赏给前来帮忙的门客。门客们互相商量说：“这壶酒大家都来喝则不够，一个人喝会有剩余。让咱们各自在地上比赛画蛇，谁先画好，谁就喝这壶酒。”

有一个人最先把蛇画好了。他端起酒壶正要喝，于是左手拿着酒壶，右手继续画蛇，说：“我能够再给它添上几只脚！”可是没等他把脚画完，另一个人已把蛇画成了。那人把那酒壶抢过去，说：“蛇本来是没有脚的，你怎能给它添上脚呢?”于是，便把壶中的酒喝了下去。

那个给蛇画脚的人最终失掉了酒。智子疑邻

原文：

宋有富人，天雨墙坏。其子曰：“不筑，必将有盗。”其邻人之父亦云。暮而果大亡其财。其家甚智其子，而疑邻人之父。译文：

宋国有一个富人，因天下大雨，他的墙坍塌下来。他儿子说：“如果不赶紧修筑它，一定有盗贼进来。”邻居的老人也这么说。可富人不听他们的话。这天晚上果然丢失了大量财物。这家人认为儿子是聪明的，却怀疑偷盗的是邻居的老人。

11滥竽充数

原文：

齐宣王使人吹竽，必三百人。南郭处士请为王吹竽，宣王说之，廪食以数百人。宣王死，湣（mǐn）王立，好一一听之，处士逃。————选自《韩非子·内储说上七术》 译文：

齐宣王派人吹竽，一定要三百人一起吹。南郭处士请求给齐宣王吹竽，齐宣王很高兴。官府给他的待遇和那几百人一样。齐宣王死后，他的儿子齐湣王（田地）继承了王位。齐湣王喜欢听一个一个地独奏，南郭处士就逃跑了。截竿入城

原文：

鲁有执长竿入城门者，初竖执之，不可入；横执之，亦不可入。计无所出。.俄有老父至，曰：“吾非圣人，但见事多矣！何不以锯中截而入?“遂依而截之。译文：

鲁国有个拿着长竿子进城门的人，起初竖立起来拿着它想要进城门，但不能进入城门，横过来拿着它，也不能进入城门，他实在是想不出什么办法来了。不久，有个年长的男人来到这里说：“我并不是圣贤，只不过经历了很多的事情，为什么不用锯子将长竿从中截断后再进入城门呢？”那个鲁国人依照老人的办法将长竿子截断了。鹬蚌相争

原文：

赵且伐燕，苏代为燕谓惠王曰：“今者臣来，过易水。蚌方出曝，而鹬啄其肉，蚌合而箝其喙。鹬曰：‘今日不雨，明日不雨，即有死蚌！’蚌亦谓鹬曰：‘今日不出，明日不出，即有死鹬！’两者不肯相舍，渔者得而并禽之。今赵且伐燕，燕赵久相支，以弊大众，臣恐强秦之为渔夫也。故愿王之熟计之也！”惠王曰：“善。”乃止。（《战国策》）

译文：

赵国将要出战燕国，苏代为燕国对惠王说：“今天我来，路过了易水，看见一只河蚌正从水里出来晒太阳，一只鹬飞来啄它的肉，河蚌马上闭拢，夹住了鹬的嘴。鹬说：‘今天不下雨，明天不下雨，就会干死你。’河蚌也对鹬说：‘今天你的嘴不取，明天你的嘴不取，就会饿死你。’两个不肯互相放弃，结果一个渔夫把它们俩一起捉走了。现在赵国将要攻打燕国，燕赵如果长期相持不下，老百姓就会疲惫不堪，我担心强大的秦国就要成为那不劳而获的渔翁了。所以我希望大王认真考虑出兵之事。”赵惠文王说：“好吧。”于是停止出兵攻打燕国。塞翁失马

原文：

近塞上之人，有善术者，马无故亡而入胡。人皆吊之，其父曰：“此何遽不为福乎？”居数月，其马将胡骏马而归。人皆贺之，其父曰：“此何遽不为祸乎？”家富良马，其子好骑，堕而折其髀。人皆吊之，其父曰：“此何遽不为福乎？”居一年，胡人大入塞，丁壮者引弦而战。近塞之人，死者十九。此独以跛之故，父子相保。

翻译：

靠近边境一带居住的人中有一个老人，他们家的马无缘无故跑到了胡人的住地。邻居们都为此来慰问他。那个老人说：“这怎么就不能变成一件好事呢？”过了几个月，那匹马带着胡人的良马回来了。邻居们都前来祝贺他们一家。那个老人说：“这怎么就不能变成一件坏事呢？”他家中有很多好马，他的儿子喜欢骑马，结果从马上掉下来摔得大腿骨折。人们都前来安慰他们一家。那个老人说：“这怎么就不能变成一件好事呢？”过了一年，胡人大举入侵边境一带，壮年男子都拿起弓箭去作战。靠近边境一带的人，绝大部分都死了。唯独这个人因为腿瘸的缘故免于征战，父子得以保全生命。所以福变成祸，祸变成福，变化得没法子研究到底，深得没法子测量啊。农夫耕田

原文：

农夫耕于田，数息而后一锄。行者见而哂之,曰：“甚矣，农之惰也!数息而后一锄，此田竟月不成!”农夫曰：“予莫知所以耕，子可示我以耕之术乎?”行者解衣下田，一息而数锄，一锄尽一身之力。未及移时，气竭汗雨，喘喘焉不能作声，且仆于田。谓农夫曰：“今而后知耕田之难也。”农夫曰：“非耕难，乃子之术谬矣!人之处事亦然，欲速则不达也。”行者服而退。译文：

有个农民在田里耕种，他喘几口气才挥一下锄头。有个过路人看见了说：“你真是太懒了!你喘几口气才挥一下锄头，这样一个月也干不完。”农夫说：“我不知道用什么方法来耕地，你可以向我示范耕地的方法吗？”过路人脱下衣服走到田里，喘一口气连挥几下锄头，每锄一下都用尽全身的力气。还没过多少时间，他的力气用完了，汗如雨下，气喘吁吁的样子，连声音都发不出了，将要倒在田里,他对农夫说：“我到今天才知道耕地的困难。”农夫说：“困难的不是耕田，是你的方法错了！人处理事情也是这样，刻意追求速度反而达不到目的。” 过路人心服口服地走了。

16．童趣 沈复

余忆童稚时，能张目对日，明察秋毫，见藐小之物必细察其纹理，故时有物外之趣。

夏蚊成雷，私拟作群鹤舞于空中，心之所向，则或千或百，果然鹤也；昂首观之，项为之强。又留蚊于素帐中，徐喷以烟，使之冲烟而飞鸣，作青云白鹤观，果如鹤唳云端，为之怡然称快。

余常于土墙凹凸处，花台小草丛杂处，蹲其身，使与台齐；定神细视，以丛草为林，以虫蚁为兽，以土砾凸者为丘，凹者为壑，神游其中，怡然自得。

一日，见二虫斗草间，观之，兴正浓，忽有庞然大物，拔山倒树而来，盖一癞虾蟆，舌一吐而二虫尽为所吞。余年幼，方出神，不觉呀然一惊。神定，捉虾蟆，鞭数十，驱之别院。

１７．《论语》十则

奂（huàn）山山市，邑（yì）八景之一也，然数（shù）年恒（héng）不一见。孙公子禹(yǔ)年与同人饮楼上，忽见山头有孤塔耸起，高插青冥（míng），相顾惊疑，念近中无此禅(chán)院。无何，见宫殿(diàn)数十所，碧瓦飞甍(méng)，始悟为山市。未几，高垣(yuán)睥(pì)睨(nì)，连亘(gèn)六七里，居然城郭矣。中有楼若者，堂若者，坊若者，历历在目，以亿万计。忽大风起，尘气莽(mǎng)莽然，城市依稀而已。既而风定天清，一切乌有，惟危楼一座，直接霄(xiāo)汉。楼五架，窗扉(fēi)皆洞开；一行有五点明处，楼外天也。层层指数（shǔ），楼愈（yù）高，则明愈小。数（shǔ）至八层，裁如星点。又其上，则黯（àn）然缥缈(piāo)(miǎo)，不可计其层次矣。而楼上人往来屑（xiè）屑，或凭或立，不一状。逾（yú）时，楼渐低，可见其顶；又渐如常楼；又渐如高舍；倏(shū)忽如拳如豆，遂（suì）不可见。又闻有早行者，见山上人烟市肆(sì)，与世无别，故又名“鬼市”云。

The college admitted Steve when he was 15.The news was all over the small village.Not only he himself,but also his parent felt happy for this.They always fought alongside him.There was a bill along with the college notice, which upset them.The family was not rich at all;they had no radio, let alone a television.But they went all out to afford the higher education for him.After all, they had only one son.Fortunately, the college made allowances for Steve's situation and awarded him an allowance of five thousand dollars.When everything was all right, Steve went to college.In all, there were 30 students in his class.Steve learned a lot at class.He knew brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.Besides this, he knew sometimes hemp was used to alleviate pain.Also, he could read the Latin alphabet correctly.Steve liked all the subjects but history.He had heard enough such as “Britain in alliance with France once defeated a number of smaller countries.”, “Britain was an ally of America in both World Wars.They were allied countries.”, and so on.But allowing for the graduation, he still got A in every subject.The teacher allocated duties to all the students evry Monday, and Steve always finished his part first.So the teacher alleged that Steve was the most promising student in the class.一所学院在史蒂夫15岁时接受了他。这个消息遍及了村庄。不但他自己，而且他的父母都为此高兴。他们总是与他并肩作战。与大学通知书一起来的一张账单让他们心烦。这个家庭一点也不富裕，他们没有收音机，更不用说电视了。但他们竭尽全力为儿子提供高等教育。毕竟，他们只有一个儿子。幸运的是，学员体谅史蒂夫的处境并发给他一项5000美元的津贴。所有事情都顺利后，史蒂夫上学了。他的班上总共有30名学生。史蒂夫在课上学会了很多。他知道了黄铜是铜和锌的合金。除此，他还知道有时候大麻用来减轻疼痛。还有，他可以无误地读出拉丁字母表。史蒂夫喜欢除了历史以外的所有课程。他听够了什么“英国与法国联盟曾经击败了许多小国家”“在两次世界大战中，英国是美国的一个同盟国，他们是同盟的国家”等等。但考虑到毕业，他的每门课都得了A。每周一老师给所有学生分配任务，史蒂夫总是第一个完成。因此老师断言史蒂夫是班上最有前途的学生。

Since last year, the agriculture in this village had boomed.The boughs of trees were loaded with fruit.The workers worked hard and got bonuses.John was one of them.His neighbor, Mrs.Morris, had a son who walked with the help of a brace.Even though, the boy liked to bounce up and down.The friendship formed a friendly bond between the two families.They’d like to discuss something like public bond sometimes.One day, when John was working, Mrs.Morris called him from a telephone booth.She was crying, “My son fell into the river!Please save him!” It sounded like a bomb exploding in John’s heart.He rushed to the bank.He was bound to find the boy.The river formed the boundary between the two countries.To pass across the border, one must go through customs.“Brace yourself for the danger!” some boring people tried to boycott his action.But John took off his boots and dived into the river.He showed great bravery in saving th drowning child and he succeeded.He held the boy to his bosom and went back.His dog came bounding to meet him.Mrs.Morris bowed as she appreciated him so much.She took out a brass box, in which there was a bottle of brandy made in France.It’s one of the most popular brands.It had a regular breadth of its bottom.Then Mrs.Morris bored a hole in the bottle cork to pull it out.After the meal, the mother said to the son, “Put the date in brackets on the paper.Do remember today, my boy.”

从去年说起，这个村庄的农业就迅速发展了。大树枝上挂满了水果。工人们努力工作并获得奖金。约翰是其中一个。他的邻居，莫里斯太太有一个靠托架帮忙走路的儿子。尽管如此，男孩还是喜欢上下弹跳。友谊在两家之间形成了一个友好的结合。他们有时会喜欢谈谈公共债券什么的。一天，当约翰在工作时，莫里斯太太从一个电话亭给他打了一个电话。他哭着说：“我的儿子掉到河里去了，请救救他！”这话就像一颗炸弹在约翰心中爆炸了。他冲到河边。他一定要找到这个孩子。河流是两国的分界线。若想通过边界的话，一定要过海关。“防备危险！”，一些讨厌的人试图联合抵制他的行为。但约翰脱下长统靴跳入河流。他展现了他非凡的勇敢并成功的救起了男孩。他将孩子抱在胸口回去了。他的狗跳跃着迎接他。莫里斯太太向他鞠躬，她太感激他了。她取出一只黄铜盒子，里面有一瓶法国制造的白兰地酒。那是一个非常有名的牌子，它的瓶底有着标准的宽度。接着莫里斯太太将瓶塞钻了个孔将它拔出来。饭后，母亲对儿子说：“把日子填到纸上的括号里。记住今天，我的孩子。”

It was a nice night.Stars were billiant in the clear night sky.A breeze blew over the garden.We just had chicken breast for supper.I was telling my families about my travel when Bill broke in with a story of his.He was sorry to arrive late because his car broke down.So he had to ride on a horse.Though his horse was of the best breed he had ever bred., the hundreds of miles' run left Bill out of breath.He pulled the brim of his hat down over his eyes then began.“A man loved a girl very much.On May 1,she would be his bride.But he was put into prison and her family broke off relations with him.He was locked at a room where the window was bricked up.On the last day of April, the man bribed a policeman to let him go free.Next, he and the other criminals broke into the armory and carried off 20 rifles.So a combat broke out unavoidably.The police tried to break up the crowd but failed.The criminals had little difficulty in breaking through the pass.They broke away from the prison successfully!...” In brief, the story was exciting.It made all of us catch our breath.那是一个很好的夜晚。星星在夜空中光辉灿烂。一阵微风吹过花园。我们刚吃过鸡胸肉晚饭。我正在给家人讲我的旅行的时候，比尔插嘴讲了一个他知道的故事。他很抱歉他来迟了，因为他的车损坏了。于是他不得不骑马。虽然他的马是他饲养过的最好的品种，但好几百英里的奔波也使比尔上起不接下气。他把帽沿拉至眼帘然后开始讲述：“一个男子非常爱一个女孩。5月1日，她将成为他的新娘。但他背关入监狱并且她的家人和他断绝关系。他被锁在一个窗户被用砖堵死的房间。4月的最后一天，那个男子贿赂一名警员让他出去。接着，她和其他的罪犯闯入了军械库拿走了20只来复枪。于是一场争斗不可避免地爆发了。

There were three candidates for the presidential election campaign and finally Mr.Knox won.Right away, he called his wife up to inform her.Then he bought lots of candies for the children to celebrate the victory.At night, they went to a cafeteria to taste favorite cabbage.The next day, Mr.Knox put the calendar on the shelf.There were many problems that called for solutions.He intended to build more libraries on the campuses.The ministers were called up to discuss this.The proposal called forth a good deal of hostile criticism in the cabinet.The project needed a number of cables.They calculated the cost and at last the proposal was called off.Mr.Knox felt disappointed, and the worse was, his doctor told him that he had gotten cancer in his liver.So he cancelled all his appointments.He decided to call on a famous doctor who lived in Canada.His packages were delivered across the desert by camels..He crossed a lake in a canoe first then took a ship to sail on the canal.It was strange to see a cannon on the ship.Usually, Mr.Knox had his supper at the canteen.While staying in the passenger cabin, he would miss his family very much.总统选举运动有三个候选人，最后诺斯克先生胜出了。他立刻打电话给他的妻子通知她。然后他买了许多糖果给孩子来庆祝胜利。晚上，他们一起去自助食堂去品尝他们喜爱的卷心菜。第二天，诺克斯先生把日历放在架子上。很多问题需要解决。他倾向于在校园里建更多的图书馆。大臣被召集来讨论此事。这项提议在内阁引起了许多敌对的批评。这项工作需要大量的电缆。他们计算了花销，最终提议被放弃了。诺克斯先生很失望，更坏的消息是，他的医生告诉他说他已经的了肝癌。于是他取消了所有约会。他决定去拜访住在加拿大的一位著名的医生。他的行李用骆驼运输穿过沙漠。他先乘独木舟渡过一个湖泊然后乘船在运河上航行。在船上见到一座大炮真是很奇怪的事。通常，诺克斯先生在食堂吃晚饭。待在客舱的时候，他会非常想念他的家人。

There was a chill in the air that morning．We chopped the block of wood into pieces and threw them into the fire place.The chimney poured smoke Into the alr.After the lamb chops dinner，we made the circuit of the old city walls.The Circular tour took us 3hours.The circumference of the city was almost 10 miles．And we found a story on the wall，chiefly about a chemist．He had a chi1dish chin．He liked to play chess．And he cherished a set of ancient china．But his favorite thing was to do chemical experiments.His last task was to make cheeses，cherry flavor and chestnut flavor．After several days’hard work，the chemist decided to have a taste.He chewed some chips of cheese.Having given a few chokes, he got his breath．It tasted wonderful!He was so happy that he lit up a cigar．The news circulated quickly.The paper praised him in chorus．A Christian chorus sang Christmas carols for him.The mayor invited him to have a lecture.Due to circumstances beyond control，the lecture was cancelled．It's a pity．

那天早晨天气有些寒冷。我们将一块木头砍成小块丢进壁炉。烟囱冒出烟儿。吃完羊排骨正餐之后，我们绕古城环行了一周。这次环行的旅程花了我们3个小时。城市的圆周将近10英里。并且我们在城墙上发现了一个故事，主要是关于一名化学家的。他有一个孩子气的下巴。他喜欢下棋。他还珍爱一套古瓷器。但他的最爱是做化学的实验。他最后的课题是制造奶酪，樱桃味的和栗子味的。在几天辛苦工作之后，化学家决定尝一尝。他咀嚼了一些奶酪的碎片。哽咽了几下后，他喘过气来。简直太美昧了!他高兴得点起一支雪茄。消息流通得很快。报纸一致表扬他。市长也邀请他开个讲座。不过因为不可左右的情况，讲座被取消了。真是件遗憾的事情。

This town had a temperate climate.On rainy days, most people would stay at home, listening to some classical music.When the weather cleared up, they would go out.Some youth even would climb the cliff.Some other young people would go to the circus.It had classic performances.The climax of the show was three cats using their sharp claws to draw pictures in the clay!Audiences clapped their hands in delight.But for Molly and Henry, the sister and the brother, the pleasure was to study.School education helped to civilize the people.It's one of the civil rights.And also, the government cited the Bible to claim that civilization was necessary.This morning, after clearing away the kitchen, they went to school.They wore civilian clothes like other students.The students in the school were classified by the subject they chose.Some students learned how to be a lawyer, how to face the clients and how to make every clause of the contract clear.Some focused on grammar.They must understand all kinds of clauses.Molly and Henry were in the debate class.Clarity of thinking was of greatest importance in a debate.In the class, the two sides clarified their contentions loudly.They were so serious that the two sides fought wlth each other.In the clash, Molly's necklace fell off because the clasp had broken.Henry picked it up and held Molly's hand in a firm clasp.It's a funny day!

A party consisted of ten conservatives.They were conscientious men.In consequence of their conscience, they worked constantly to raise people's consciousness on the conservation of natural resources.They said that the human being kept conquering nature and in consequence one day we would pay for the conquest at a considerable cost.It's conspicuous that forest was getting less and less.Consequently, every conscious person should give careful consideration to this problem.The ideas in their speeches were consistent.Analyzing their speech into its constituent parts, we knew that the strength of it consisted in the justice of it.Many people consented to support them.So their confidences were consolidated.The consensus of opinion at the latest meeting was that they would try to persuade the Congress to constitute some new constitutions,They were really considerate!

Midway Tactics

Three competing store owners rented adjoining shops in a mall.Observers waited for mayhem to ensue.The retailer on the right put up huge signs saying, “Gigantic Sale!” and “Super Bargains!”

The store on the left raised bigger signs proclaiming, “Prices Slashed!” and “Fantastic Discounts!”

The owner in the middle then prepared a large sign that simply stated, “ENTRANCE”.中间战术

三个互相争生意的商店老板在一条商业街上租用了毗邻的店铺。旁观者等着瞧好戏。

右边的零售商挂起了巨大的招牌，上书：“大减价!”“特便宜!”

左边的商店挂出了更大的招牌，声称：“大砍价!”“大折扣!”

中间的商人随后准备了一个大招牌，上面只简单地写着：“入口处”。

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。”

Two Soldiers

Two soldiers were in camp.The first one‘s name was George, and the second one‘s name was Bill.George said, “have you got a piece of paper and an envelope, Bill?”

Bill said, “Yes, I have,” and he gave them to him.Then George said, “Now I haven‘t got a pen.” Bill gave him his, and George wrote his letter.Then he put it in the envelope and said, “have you got a stamp, Bill?” Bill gave him one.Then Bill got up and went to the door, so George said to him, “Are you going out?”

Bill Said, “Yes, I am,” and he opened the door.George said, “Please put my letter in the box in the office, and...” He stopped.“What do you want now?” Bill said to him.George looked at the envelope of his letter and answered, “What‘s your girl-friend‘s address?”

军营里有二名士兵，一个叫乔治，一个叫比尔。乔治问：“比尔，你有信纸、信封吗?”

比尔说：“有。”然后把信纸和信封给了乔治。

乔治又说：“我还没有笔呢。”比尔又把自己的笔给了他。乔治开始写信。写完后把信放进信封里，又问：“比尔，你有邮票吗?”比尔给了他一张。

这时比尔站起来，向门口走去。乔治问：“你要出去吗?”

比尔说：“是的。”随即打开了门。

乔治说：“请帮我把这封信投进办公室的信箱里，还有...”他停住了。

“你还要什么?”比尔问。

乔治看着信封说：“你女朋友的地址是-?”

Five Months Older

The Second World War had begun, and John wanted to join the army, but he was only 16 years old, and boys were allowed to join only if they were over 18.So when the army doctor examined him, he said that he was 18.But John‘s brother had joined the army a few days before, and the same doctor had examined him too.This doctor remembered the older boy‘s family name, so when he saw John‘s papers, he was surprised.“How old are you?” he said.“Eighteen, sir,” said John.“But your brother was eighteen, too,” said the doctor.“Are you twins?”

“Oh, no, sir,” said John, and his face went red.“My brother is five months older than I am.”

大五个月
