旅游英语：断桥及经典的爱情故事
West lake, a famous place of interest in China, has a long history and along with it a lot of stories.Some are real and some are imaginary.Whatever they are, these stories are always touching and give the beautiful West Lake a much deeper meaning than what we see through our eyes.There is a famous bridge on West Lake.It is called Broken Bridge（断桥）.Although it is called Broken Bridge, it is not actually broken.It got its name from the way it look in winter.On a fine day after a heavy snowfall, from a distance the bridge seems to be broken in the middle which was the result of snow melting on the middle part.Broken Bridge is famous because of its beautiful winter scene, but even more so because of a love story.It is the place where the beautiful Chinese love story of Xuxian and Bainiangzi started.It's one of the four most popular traditional Chinese love stories.It is not a true story, but almost every one in China knows this story.Broken Bridge is the place where Xuxian and Bainianzi met each other.When the two walked on the bridge that day, it suddenly became rainy.Bainiangzi, a beautiful girl, didn't have an umbrella, but Xuxian had one.So they shared the umbrella and started their first talk.Xuxian, the young man, was astonished by the beauty of Bainiangzi.They both liked each other very much and kind of fell in love at first sight.But Bainiangzi was not an ordinary human being.She was originally a white snake that had practiced asceticism（修行）for 1,000 years.She loved people and wanted to be a human being herself instead of an immortal（神仙）.Finally God let the snake be a woman for its good behavior.The day Xuxian and Bainianzi met was the first day she became a human.It was fate that they met.They fell in love and soon got married and lived a happy life.They started a clinic for ill people.Bainiangzi had magic power and used it to help those poor ill people.But there was a monk named Fahai, who knew what Bainianzi actually was.Regardless of the good deeds she did, he insisted on regarding her as evil and decided to kill her.He went to Xuxian and told him what his wife really was.Xuxian was so astonished that he was died of fright.To save her husband, Bainiangzi risked her life to steal a kind of holy grass from heaven which could bring dead people back to life.Xuxian came back to life.He knew his wife was a snake, but he also knew her good nature and still loved her.Unfortunately, Fahai, the monk, caught Bainiangzi and locked her up under the Leifeng Pagoda（雷峰塔）which was located along the West Lake.This pagoda is still standing there today.The end of the story is a sad one, but people do love the story.As I rewrite this story, I remember how it moved me when I first heard it when I was a little girl, and I begin to think why people love this story so much.My answer is they are touched by Xuxian and Bainiangzi's love which was the result of a 1000-year wait.And most importantly, they are touched by the good nature of the white snake.Similar to Westerners, Chinese do not have a good impression of snakes.People tend to think they are evil, but here in this story, the white snake is kind and generous and brave enough to love.People do love her.While the monk seemed to be good, what he did was really bad.He is much closer to evil.So I think the story tells people not to be prejudiiced.We should judge a person by what he really does, not by his appearance or origin.

I have to skip my meal today because I couldn't sell any of these matches.” She lit a match to warm up her body.Even though it was a small light, it made her a little warmer.She felt as if she was sitting right next to a fireplace.“Oh, it's warm!” She kept lighting matches.Suddenly, a table full of delicious food came up in front of her.“Oh, it looks delicious.” As she lit another match, a Christmas tree appeared.“How beautiful!” She lit the last match.Then, her grandmother appeared.“Sweetie, come to Heaven with me.” The girl's grandmother held her tight in her arms and rose up to the sky.The next day, she was dead and found in the street.“Poor girl, Maybe she tried to warm herself with these matches.Tut, tut.” People felt pity for the girl and buried her in the ground in the sunlight.The wolf and the lamb 3 Once upon a time a wolf was lapping at a stream.When he looked up, he saw a lamb drinking a little lower down.“There’s my supper,” he thought.“I will find some excuse to catch it.” Then he called out to the lamb, “How dare you muddle the water?” “No, master,” said the lamb.“I cannot muddle your water because it runs down from you to me.”
“Well, then,” said the wolf.“Why did you call me bad names this time last year?” “It was impossible,” said the lamb.“I am only six months old.”
“I don’t care,” shouted the wolf.“If it was not you, it must be your father.” After that he rushed at the poor little lamb and ate it up.狼与小羊
从前，一只狼在溪流喝水，看到一只小羊在下游喝水。“那是我的晚餐，”狼想，“我要找一个借口吃掉他。”于是，他恶狠狠地对小羊说：“你怎么敢搅浑浊了我的水？”“我没有，先生，”小羊回答说，“我在下游喝水，怎么能搅浑浊你喝的水呢？”“那么，”狼见此计不成，又说道，“你去年的今天为什么说我的坏话？”“不可能，”小羊说，“我现在才只有六个月大。”“我不管，”狼说，“如果不是你，就是你的爸爸。”说完，他就冲向小山羊，把他吃掉了。
寓意: 当一个坏人想为自己所做的坏事寻找借口时，他不会在乎这个借口是否恰当。

One day a little monkey was playing in a tall tree by the river.A crocodile was swimming slowly near the bank with her baby.She looked around for some food.Suddenly she saw the monkey.“Aha, there‟s my meal,” she thought.She then turn to her son, “Do you love me, Son?”
“Why, of course, Mum!” the baby crocodile said.“Well then, you catch the monkey and give me his heart to eat.”
“But how can I?” the baby crocodile asked.“Monkeys can‟t swim, and I can‟t climb trees.”
“You needn‟t climb the tree,” his mother said.“Use your head, then you will find a way.”
The baby crocodile thought hard.Then he had an idea.He swam near the tree and shouted, “Hey, Monkey!Would you like some bananas?”
“Bananas!Mm!I love them,” said the monkey.“But where are they?”
“On the other side of the river.There are some banana trees there, and they have lots of bananas on them.I‟ll take you there on my back.”
“Good,” the monkey came down and jumped onto the crocodile‟s back.Soon they were in the middle of the river.Suddenly the crocodile went down under the water.When he came up again, the monkey was all wet.“Don‟t do that!” The monkey cried.“Don‟t do that again!I can‟t swim, you know.”
“I know, but I have to,” answered the crocodile.“My mother wants to eat your heart.”
The little monkey was clever.“Why didn‟t you tell me earlier?” He asked.“My heart isn‟t here with me.I left it in that tree over there.”
“Then we‟ll have to go back for it.Mother doesn‟t want you without your heart.” The crocodile turned and swam back to the bank.Soon they reached the bank.The monkey jumped off the crocodile at once, picked up a big stone and quickly climbed up the tree.The crocodile waited for the monkey to come down again.As he was waiting, he suddenly heard a voice from above:
“Hey, Crocodile!”
The crocodile looked up.The monkey was hanging from the tree by his tail and laughing.‟Here‟s my heart.Come up and get it.Don‟t keep your mother waiting…You can‟t come up? Well, catch!‟
With these words, he threw the big stone at the crocodile.9.MISS EVANS Have you ever heard the story about Miss Evans? It is a true story.Maybe many people have read about it.One afternoon in April 1912, a new ship set off from England to American on its first trip.It was one of the largest and finest ships at that time and on it were over 2,200 people.It was cold, but the trip was pleasant and people were enjoying themselves.The next day was even colder.People could see icebergs here and there.It was night.Suddenly the man on watch shouted, “Look out!Iceberg!Iceberg ahead!” It was too late.The ship hit the iceberg and came to a stop.There was a very big hole in the ship and water began to come inside.Slowly the ship started to go down.People had to leave the ship.Women and children were the first to get into the lifeboats.Suddenly a woman shouted.“Please make room for me.My children are in that boat.I must go with them!Please!” There was no room here, someone shouted back.The children heard their mother and began to cry.A young woman was sitting near the poor children.She stood up.Here, she shouted.Take my place!I‟m not married and I have no children.She got out and the thankful mother joined the children in the lifeboat.Soon after that, the ship went down.More than 1,500 people lost their lives.Among those was the young woman.Who was she? Her name was Miss Evans and she was going home to Boston.But nobody knew more about her than that.“What are you looking at?” asks the fox.“Oh, I see some animals over there.They are coming this way.” “Animals? ” “Yes.Oh, they‟re dogs.”
“What? Dogs?” asks the fox.“Well...well, I must go now.Good-bye.” “Wait, Mr.Fox,” says the cock.“Don‟t go.They are only dogs.And dogs are our friends now.” “Yes.But they don‟t know that yet.”
“I see, I see,” says the cock.He smiles and goes to sleep high up in the tree.10.THE ARAB IN THE DESERT An Arab was walking alone through the desert when he met two men.The men looked worried.It seemed that they had lost something.The Arab went over to them.“Have you lost one of your camels?” he asked them.“Yes,” they said.“Was he blind in the right eye and lame in the left foot?” asked the Arab.“Yes, he was.”
“Had he lost a tooth and was he carrying corn?”
“Yes,” said the men.“Please tell us where he is.”
“I don‟t know where he is,” said the Arab.“I‟ve never seen such an animal.”
“Did someone tell you about him?”
“No.”
The two men looked at each other in surprise.They could not believe the Arab‟s words.Finally, they came up close to him, took hold of him, and shouted: “Where‟s the animal? And what have you done with our goods?”
The Arab insisted that he had never seen the camel.At last the men took him before a judge.They said that the Arab had stolen their camel.“I‟ve never seen their camel,” insisted the Arab.“But I‟m a man of the desert, and I‟ve learned to look carefully at everything I see.This morning I saw the tracks of a lost camel.I knew this because there were no man‟s tracks near those of the camel.I also saw that the camel must be blind in the right eye, because he had only eaten the grass on his left side and had not touched the grass on his right.The animal was lame because with one foot he left a track much lighter than any of the others.He had lost a tooth, because wherever he ate grass, there was always a small space left untouched.I also found groups of ants near the tracks of the camel.They were pulling pieces of corn.From these facts I was able to tell what goods the animal was carrying.”
The judge and the two men were satisfied with what the Arab had said.Together the four men set out to look for the lost animal.11.EDISON’S BOYHOOD
Thomas Edison was born in 1847.When he was a child, he liked to find out how things worked.One day when he was five, his father saw him sitting on some eggs, and asked what he was doing that for.Tom did not reply.Instead, he asked his father why he was not able to hatch chickens while hens could.Young Tom was in school for only three months.During those three months, he asked a lot of questions.Most of them had nothing to do with his lessons.His teacher did not know why the boy had so many strange questions.He told Tom‟s mother that Tom was not bright and was not worth teaching.His mother took him out of school and taught him herself.The boy read a lot.He became very interested in science.By the time he was ten, he had already built a chemistry lab for himself.He planted vegetables in his garden and sold them to buy what he need for his lab.Once his mother was ill and she sent for a doctor.The doctor said she needed an operation at once.But it was night and the lamp in the room gave poor light.Edison thought hard.Finally he had an idea.He collected all the lamps in the house and put them and put then on a long table.Then he placed a big mirror behind them.Now there was enough light, so the doctor could operate.Edison‟s mother was saved.At the age of twelve, Edison began selling newspapers on a train.When he was free, he printed a newspaper and sold copies to the railway workers.One day in August, 1862, Edison saw a little boy playing on the tracks at a station.A train was coming near quickly, and the boy was too frightened to move.Edison rushed out and carried the boy to safety.The boy‟s father was so thankful that he taught Edison how to send messages by railway telegraph.Edison soon became very good at it and later he left home to work in different cities.This gave him a start in life.At that time he was just a boy of sixteen.12.THE FISHERMAN AND THE GENIE Once upon a time there was an old fisherman.He went fishing very early every morning, but he never cast his net more than four times a day.One morning, he went out early to the sea.He cast his net for the first time, and drew in the body of an animal.He cast it a second time, and drew in an old basket full of sand.He cast it a third time, and drew in a lot of stones.It seemed he would have nothing to take home that morning.Day had now broken, and he cast his net for the last time.After some time, he began to drew the net in.He found it was very heavy.But there were not any fish in it.Instead he found a jar with a lid.He shook the jar, but could hear nothing.So he took off the lid and looked inside.He could see nothing.After a while a light smoke came slowly out of the jar.Then little by little, the smoke grew heavier and thicker until finally it turned into a terrible Genie!“Get down on your knees,” said the Genie, “for I’m going to kill you.” “Why? Didn’t I set you free from the jar?”
“That’s why I’m going to kill you, but I’ll let you choose how you’re going to die.”
“But why?”
“Listen, and I will tell you my story.”
“I was one of the spirits in heaven.But I did not want to obey Solomon’s orders.So one day, he put me in this jar and threw it into the sea.“During the first hundred years of my stay in the sea, I made a promise that if anyone set me free I would make him very rich.But no one came.During the second hundred years, I promised that if anyone set me free I would show him all the treasures in the earth.But still no one came.During the third hundred years, I promised that if anyone came to set me free, I would make him king over the earth.“Still no one came.Then I became very angry, and decided that if anyone should set me free I would kill him at once.Now you have come and set me free.So you must die, but I will let you say how you want to die.”
The fisherman was not frightened.He said: “Since I must die, I must.But before I die, answer me one question.”
“All right, but be quick.”
“Were you really in the jar? You are so big and the jar is so small that it could hardly hold one of your feet.”
“Of course I was in the jar.Don’t you believe me?” “No, and I won’t until I’ve seen you in the jar with my own eyes.”
When he heard this, the Genie changed again into smoke.Slowly the smoke went back into the jar.When all of it was in the jar, the fisherman quickly put the lid on and threw it back into the sea.13.LOOK CAREFULLY AND LEARN My friend Carl will never forget a certain professor.This professor taught him chemistry at the university.He was an ordinary-looking little man with thick glasses, but he had a strange way of making his classes lively and interesting.And the lessons he taught were not easily forgotten.Carl remembers one of his first lessons from this professor.After the students were all in the chemistry lab, the professor brought out three bottles.One was filled with kerosene(煤油), one with castor oil, and one with vinegar.“Now watch carefully,” said the professor.“Pay attention to everything that I do.”
He then filled a cup with some of the kerosene, some of the castor oil and some of the vinegar.As the students watched with fascination, he mixed the three together.After that, he held up one of his fingers and showed it to the class.He then dipped it into the cup.After a few seconds he took his finger out.“Now watch,” he said.“Remember, you must do everything that I do.”
He put a finger in his mouth and sucked it.He nodded with a smile.Then he handed the cup around the class of students.Each student dipped a finger into the mixture and sucked it.Each immediately made a face.The mixture tasted horrible.When the cup was at last returned to the professor, he shook his head sadly.“I’m sorry,” he said to the class, “but none of you watched carefully enough.Yes, I sucked a finger, but the finger I put into my mouth was not the one I had dipped into the cup.”
It was their first important lesson as students of chemistry and they never forgot it.14.THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT
Once upon a time there were six blind men who lived in a village in India.Every day they went to the road nearby and stood there begging.They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one, for , being blind, how could they?
One morning an elephant was led down the road where they stood.When they heard that an elephant was passing by, they asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a “look”.Of course they could not look at him with their eyes, but they thought they might learn what kind of animal he was by touching and feeling him.For, you see, they trust their own sense of touch very much.The first blind man happened to place his hand on the elephant's side.“Well, well, ” he said.“This beast is exactly like a wall.”
The second grasped one of the elephant's tusks and felt it.“You're quite mistaken,” he said.“He's round and smooth and sharp.He's more like a spear than anything else.”
The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk.“You're both completely wrong,” he said.“This elephant is like a snake, as anybody can see.”
The fourth opened both his arms the closed them around one of the elephant's legs.“Oh, how blind you are!” he cried.“It's very clear that he's round and tall like a tree.”
The fifth was a very tall man, and he caught one of the elephant's ears.“Even the blindest person must see that this elephant isn't like any of the things you name.” he siad.“He's exactly like a huge fan.”
The sixth man went forward to feel the elephant.He was old and slow and it took him quite some time to find the elephant at all.At last he got hold of the beast's tail.“Oh, how silly you all are!” cried he.“The elephant isn't like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree;neither is he like a fan.Any man with eyes in his head can see that he's exactly like a rope.”
Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, quarrelling about the elephant.They could not agree with one another, because each believed that he knew just what the beast looked like.It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes.People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly.15.THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES
Many years ago there lived an Emperor, who cared more for fine new clothes than for anything else.He had different clothes for every hour of the day.One day two cheats camt to see the Emperor.They called themselves weavers and said that they knew how to weave cloth of the most beautiful colors and designs in the world.They also said that the most interesting thing about the cloth was that clothes made of it would be invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his office.“Ah, what splendid clothes!” thought the Emperor.“They are just what I shall have.When I put them on, I shall be able to find out which men in my empire are unfit for their offices.And I shall be able to tell who are wise and who are foolish.This cloth must be woven for me right away.”
The Emperor gave the cheats some gold in order that they might begin their work at once.So the two men set up two looms and pretended to be working very hard.They asked for the most beautiful silk and the best gold thread.This they kept for themselves.And then they went on with their work at the empty looms until late into the night.After some time had passed, the Emperor said to himself, “I wonder how the weavers are getting along with my cloth.” Then he remembered that those who were either fools or unfit for their offices could not see the cloth.Though he believed that he ought to have nothing to fear for himself, he wanted someone else to look at the cloth first.The Emperor thought a while and decided to send his old Prime Minister to see the cloth.He thought the Prime Minister a wise, honest man who was more fit for his office than anyone else.So the old Prinme Minister went into the hall where the cheats were working at the empty looms.“God save me!” thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide.“I can't see anything at all.” But he was careful not to say so.The men who were pretending to weave asked him to come closer.They pointed to the empty looms and asked him if he liked the design and the colors.The poor old Prime Minister opend his eyes wid wider, but he could see nothing on the looms.“Dear me,” he said to himself, “Am I foolish or unfit for my office? I must never tell anyone that I could not see the cloth.”
“Oh!it's
most beautiful!” said the Prime Minister quickly.“The design and the colors!I will tell the Emperor how wonderful they are.”
The Emperor was pleased by what the Prime Minister told him about the cloth.Soon after, he sent another official to find out how soon the cloth would be ready.The same thing happened.The official could see nothing, but he sang high praise for the cloth.When he got back, he told the Emperor that the cloth was beautiful indeed.All the people in the city were now talking about this wonderful cloth which the Emperor had ordered ro be woven for so much money.And they were eager to know how
wise or foolish their friends and neighbors might be.16.THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES(Continue)
Now at last the Emperor wished to go himself and see the cloth while it was still on the looms.He took with him a few of his officials, including the old Prinme Minister and the official who had already been there.As soon as the weavers heard the Emperor coming, they pretended to work harder than ever, though they were not weaving a single thread through the empty looms.“Isn't the cloth magnificent?” said the official and the Prime Minister.“What a splendid design!And what colors!” they said, while pointing to the empty looms.They thought that everyone else could see the wonderful work of the weavers though they could not see it themselves.“What on earth can this mean?” said the Emperor to himself.“I don't see anything.This is horrible!But I mustn't let anyonek now.”
“The cloth is beautiful,” he cried out loud.“Beautiful!I am very pleased with it.”
The officials could see no more than the Emperor, but they all shouted, ‘Beautiful!Excellent!Magnificent!“ and other such expressions.They told the Emperor that he should have new clothes made of this splendid cloth for the coming great procession.They Emperor nodded.He cried hard to pretend to share in the pleasure of his officials and gave each of the weavers a medal.The night before the procession, the two men had their lights burning all night long.They wanted everyone to see how hard they were workingon the Emperor's new clothes.At last they cried, ”Finished!The Emperor's new clothes are now ready!“
Then the Emperor arrived with his hgh officials.”Now if you take off your clothes, Your Majesty, we will fit the new clothes on you in front of the mirror,“ said the cheats.The Emperor was then undressed, and the cheats pretened to dress him in his new clothes.The Emperor turned from side to side in front of the mirrior.”How splendid the Emperor looks in his new clothes!“ everyone cried.”And how well they fit!What a splendid design!And what colors!“
”Well, I suppose I'm ready for the procession,“ said the Emperor.”Don't you think they are a 14 nice fit?“ And he turned again in front of the mirror, in order to make the others think he was looking at his new clothes.”Yes, perfectly wonderful!“ cried his officials.And so the procession began.The Emperor walked in the middle of the procession, through the streets of the city.And all the people standing by and those at the windows cried out, ”On, how splendid our Emperor's new clothes are!What a perfect fit!“
No one dared say that he could not see the Emperor's new clothes.Suddenly a little child's voice was heard:” But he has nothing on!“
”Good heavens!Listen to that silly child!“ said the father.”Did you hear what the child said?“ some people nearby asked each other.What the child had said was whispered from one to the other.”I can't see anything at all on the Emperor,“ cried one or two of the braver ones.The cry was taken up and soon everyone was noddng and saying,” BUT HE HAS NOTHING ON!“
The Emperor heard the cries.He felt very silly, for he knew that the people were right.But he thought, ”The procession has atarted, and it must go on!“
So the Emperor held his head higher than ever.And the two officials who were following him took great trouble to hold up higher the train of the robe that wasn't there at all.17.NAPOLEON'S THREE QUESTIONS A story is told about a Swede who wanted to join Napoleon’s Grand Army.One evening some of Napoleon’s soldiers were drinking together when a young Frenchman brought friend to their table.He expained that his friend was a Swede and knew no French, but this Swede admired Napoleon so much that he wanted to join the French army and fight for him.The soldiers looked up and saw a tall young man with blue eyes, a friendly face, strong arms and broad shoulders.They like him at once.The officers saw that he was just the right sort of man, so they accepted him and he became one of Napoleons soldiers.His new friends smoothed away the difficulties.He fought bravely in many battles and gained their respect.However, his knowledge of French remained very weak, because he was not good at learning languages, but this did not prevent him from fighting hard.Several yaears later, word came that Napoleon himself was coming to inspect them, and the Swede was warned that the great man world probably ask him some question.There was some difficulty in expaining this to the Swede, but when at last he understood he became very anxious.“The Swede won’t understand the questions.” One of the Frenchmen said, “What can he do?”
It was well know that Napoleon always asked the same three questions, I and usuall in the same order.The first question was, “How old are you?” The second was, “how long have you been in my army?” And the third was, “Did you serve in either of my last two campaigns?”
The Swede could not possibly remember all these words and so his friends decided to teach him only the answers in their proper order.They gave him a lot of practice.Whenever possible, one of them would stop him, make him stand at attention, and ask him the three questions.“How old are you?” he would demand, and the Swede would answer, “Twenty-three, sir.” Then his friend would ask, “How long have you been in my army?” and the Swede would answer, “Three years, sir.” To the third question, “Did you serve in either of my last two campaigns?” the Swede would answer with pride, “Both, sir!”
For many days this practice continued.The Swede would walk about, saying to himself, “Twenty-three, sir.Three years, sir.Both, sir!” Before the day of the inspection, his friends were satisfied.He knew his answer.There ought to be no trouble.Napolen arrived.Stading in front of the straight lines of soldiers, he looked at them with great satisfaction.Then he began to walk along the lines, smiling sometimes, and saying a few word here and there.The Swede stood quite still, except that his lips moved slightly.He was still practicing.Napoleon suddenly caught sight of the tall soldier and realized at once that he had never seen him before.He stopped in front of the Swede.For some reason, this time the great man began with the second question.“How many years have you been in my army?” he demanded.“Twenty-Three, sir,” said the Swede clearly and well.Napoleon was surprised.He look at tall man and asked, “How old are you then?”
“Three years, sir,” replied the Swede quickly.Napoleon was astonished.“Either you are mad, or I am,” he declared.“Both, sir!” cried the Swede proudly.18.THE STORY OF WILLIAM TELL A long time ago the tiny country of Switzerland was ruled by Austria.But the Swiss did not take their fate lying down.Every week there was a rebellion somewhere, and the Austrian soldiers were kept busy hurrying from one town to another in order to put down the rebellions.The town of Altorf was particularly trouble some.The emperor of Austria finally decided to teach the Swiss a lesson.He sent a special governor to Altorf, a man named Gessler, who would rule with a firm hand.One of Gessler's orders required all Altorfers to bow before him.Anyone who refused to bow was thrown into prison.Although most of the people bowed to Gessler, they spat into the dirt as they did so.So Gessler decided to get even tougher.He placed his hat on a pole in the marketplace and ordered the Altorfers to bow before it whenever they passed.One day, William Tell, a famous hunter, came to Altorf with his little son.He saw that ten soldiers were attationed beside the pole.He knew about the order, and he knew why the soldiers were there, but he would have none of it.Holding his head high, he walked past the pole and the soldiers as if they didn't exist.Immediately the soldiers surrounded him and his son, saying:” You must bow before the hat!“
”Why?“
”It's an order!“
”It's your order,“ said William Tell, ”not mine.“
”We'll show you whose order it is,“ said the soldiers, and they led the father and son to Gessler.Even before the cruel governor himself William Tell did not bow.He held his son's hand firmly to be sure that the boy did not bow either.”You broke the law,“ said Gessler.”That is not my law,“ said William Tell.”I am a citizen of Switzerland, not Austria.“
Gessler turned red with anger.He then thought of a plan to punish William Tell.”You're a hunter,“ he said.”We'll see how good you are.“ Picking an apple from a tree overhead, he turned to a soldier and said, ”Take the boy one hundred paces down the street and place this apple on his head.“ Then he ordered William Tell to shoot at the apple with one of his arrow.The people who had gathered around gasped at the cruelty of the order.Without saying a word, William Tell drew two arrows.He looked at his son, one hundred paces away with an apple on his head.The soldiers had him stand with his back to his father.”Turn around,“ William Tell called to his son.”Look this way.“
The boy turned around and faced his father.William Tell studied the two arrows, selected one, and placed it in his bow.Slowly he raised the bow, pulled back the cord, and after taking careful aim, let the arrow fly.It split the apple in half!
The people raised a shout of joy.William Tell turned and looked calmly at Gessler.”Congratulations!“ said Gessler, sneering.”Now tell me why you took a second arrow.“
”If I had missed,“ said William Tell, ”and had shot too low, I was going to use this arrow on you.“ The story of the bravery of William Tell and his son quickly got round throughout Switzerland.It filled the hearts of the Swiss with pride and courage, and it was not long before the whole country rose up and drove the Austrian soldiers from their homeland.19.I HAVE SUNG ALREADY Once a rich woman invited Martin Brown, a famous singer, to her house.She wanted him to sing for her friends.But she didn’t invite him to have dinner with them.She told him to eat downstairs with the servants.The singer was surprised.But he said nothing and went downstairs.After the meal he stood up and said to the servants: “Now, my good friends, I shall sing for you.”
Of course, the servants were quite pleased.He sang them several songs.There was no piano in the room, but he didn’t mind.When they asked for more, he sang more.At nine o’clock the rich woman asked the singer to come up to the sitting-room.When he came in the guests were all seated and waiting for the concert.“We are ready now, Mr Brown,” said the woman, “you may begin.” “Ready for what?” asked the singer.“For your songs of course,” she answered.“But I have sung already,” said Mr Brown, “and I can’t sing twice in one evening.”
“You have sung already!” said the rich woman in surprise.“But when? And where did you sing?”
“Just now, downstairs.” “Impossible!” she cried.“But it’s quite true, madam,” said the singer.“I sang for the people after I had supper with them, you know.”
And with a polite “Good night”, he left the rich woman’s house.20.THE PIANO CONCERT A young woman in a small German town was going to give a piano concert.Her posters said she was a pupil of Franz Liszt, the great Hungarian pianist.This was not true.One day the woman learned that Liszt himself was in town.Now people would find out and she would never be able to give a concert again.What should she do? Finally she went to see the famous man himself.She told him everything.Her parents were dead and she was alone.She had to make a living.She decided to give piano lessons to rich children.But who would send their children to an unknown young woman? So she told people Franz Liszt was her teacher.“I believe you,” Liszt said.“You’ve done wrong, but I can see you are truly sorry about it.That’s enough.Now let me hear you play.”
The young woman was shy at first.But then she saw Liszt smiling.It made her feel better.Now she wasn’t afraid any more.She started playing.She put her heart into it and she played wonderfully.Liszt was quite pleased.When she finished, she turned to look at Liszt.There was a smile on his face.She could see he was pleased.Then Liszt gave her some advice.After he finished, he said, “Now you really are my pupil.Go ahead with your concert.And you can add a note to the posters.Say that your teacher himself will be there.He will play the last piece.”
21.PORTRAIT OF A TEACHER
The night before last, just before dinner, while my father was looking through the evening paper, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.Later he explained:” I had thought that he had died at least twenty years ago.But can you believe that my first teacher, Mr.Crossett, is still living? He is eight-four years old and yesterday the Department of Education gave him a medal for having completed sixty years of teaching.Sixty years!Can you imagine it? He gave up teaching only two years ago.He lives in Deleville, which is only about an hour's ride from here.Henry, tomorrow is Saturday.Let's drive over there and say hello to him.“
The next afternoon my father and I drove over to Deleville to see Mr.Crossett.Everyone in the town knew him so we had no trouble in finding his house.When he came to the door, my father recognized him at once though, of course, he was now a very old man.”Mr.Crossett,“ said my father, ”will you permit an old pupil to shake hands with you?“
Mr.Crossett looked at us curiosly.”An old pupil? I'm sorry but...your name?“
My father told him his namewoodpeckerfrog-horse)Scene 1 Long long ago, there was a rooster who thought he was the best looking rooster around.He liked to show it off, too.Scene 2 One day ,the rooster went out, he said，“I‟m the greatest rooster around!I am sure there is no other rooster as great as me.Hey, Woodpecker with the long beak!Let‟s see who‟s better looking!”
The Woodpecker answered: “I‟m sorry but I'm busy.I have to catch all these worms in the old tree.See you later!”
“Oh,See you” Said the rooster.Scene 3 The rooster saw many beautiful flowers.There is a honey bee flying(among)the flowers.Rooster: “La la la la la la.Hey, Honeybee with eyes like drums!Let's see who's better looking!”
Bee: “I'm sorry but I'm busy.I have to make some honey from the fruit trees.Bye!” Rooster: “Oh, Bye”
Scene 4 The rooster walked to the pond.There is a green frog on the lotus leaf.Rooster: “La la la la la.Hey, Green frog!Let's see who's better looking!”
Frog: “I'm sorry but I'm busy.I have to catch all the bad insects on the farm.I'll see you later!”
Rooster: “Everyone was so busy!What‟s wrong?”
Scene 5 Since everyone was too busy to talk with Rooster, he went to old Mr.Horse to complain.Rooster: “Mr.Horse, why doesn't anyone want to see who's better looking?”
Horse: “Hmm, Listen carefully!If you want to know who‟s really beautiful, you have to find out(whether)that person helps others or not.”
Rooster: “Huh...”
Scene 6 Rooster suddenly felt(embarrassed)by his(behavior.)He made up his mind to help others from then on.Scene 7 The next day, he woke up early in the morning and yelled, “(Cockle doodle doo!)” He tried to help people wake up in the morning.How a Colt Crossed the River One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river.The colt could not decide whether he could cross it.Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby.He asked, ”Aunt 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 knee high.the colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him.The squirrel shouted, ”Colt, stop!You'll drown!One of my friends drowned just yesterday 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, don't always listen to others.You'd better go and try yourself.Then you'll know what to do.“
Later, at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again.”Little horse, it's too dangerous!“
”No, I want to try 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 deep as the squirrel told him.You see, real knowledge comes from practice.小马过河译文
一天，小马驮着麦子去磨坊。
当他驮着口袋向前跑去时，突然发现一条小河挡住了去路。小马为难了，这可怎么办呢？
它向四周望了望，看见一头奶牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛阿姨，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗？”奶牛回答说：“水很浅，刚到膝盖。”
小马正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河！你会被淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就在这条河里淹死啦！”小马不知如何是好，于是决定回家问问妈妈。
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：“让我自己试试吧。”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。
这下明白了吧，实践才能出真知。The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him.He thus addressed him:”Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.“ ”Indeed,“ bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, ”I was not then born.“ Then said the Wolf , ”You feed in my pasture.“ ”No, good sir,“ replied the Lamb, ”I have not yet tasted grass.“ Again said the Wolf, ”You drink of my well.“ ”No,“ exclaimed the Lamb, ”I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me.“ Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, ”Well!I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”
这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。

英语短文爱情故事三
I think of the another story, an old couple.A wife who has a fatal illness will soon be born, and the doctor needs to tell the patient that she has only three months.The young doctor did not have the heart to tell the old lady directly, so he told the old man first.The old man listened and said, “can you not tell my wife?” She has a little courage, and I'm afraid she knows that she will be afraid later.I also want to take her to Venice, which is said to be hand in hand under the sigh bridge, and the next life will be together.“
The doctor agreed.After the doctor knew it, he told him that it was the doctor's duty to inform the patient.So the young doctor had to tell the old lady the condition.The old lady was unexpectedly the calm, and she said, ”you shouldn't tell my husband about this yet?“ I beg you not to do that.I'm sorry that I've gone.We're going to go to Venice.It is said that under the sigh bridge hand in hand, the next life will be together...”
Love is to find that you are in love with the stupidest man in the world.When you really fall in love with a person, do you often feel this way? He is all thumbs.He can't take good care of himself.He doesn't have any self-care ability at all.Well, what does he do without you...For my lover, the one hand you expect him to take charge as chief of, mature, can let the love of your life, on the other hand, you also slightly worried about spoiling his dirty clothes, forgot something, enough to eat, sleep well.It's like expecting him to be forty years old and take care of him as a three year old.Yi Shu said to love a person, he is the most stupid you feel to be everywhere, people worry about care, and to love people, often think he did not have to worry about us to be clever and sensible.It was like knowing the little prince of love, and finally knowing how stupid it was to stop being eaten by a tiger with only four prickly roses.Even if a tiger doesn't eat roses at all, even if there are no tigers at all, the little prince who finds himself in love with that unique rose is full of thoughts: she has only four thorns.我又想起一个故事，是一对老夫妇。妻子得了绝症将不久于人世，医生需告知病人她只有三个月的时间。年轻的医生不忍心直接告诉老太太，于是先跟老头说了。老头听了之后说：“能不能别告诉我的妻子？她胆子小，我怕她知道以后会害怕。我还想带她去威尼斯，据说在叹息桥下牵手，下辈子就还会在一起。”
医生感动地答应了。结果主治医生知道后，却告诉他：告知病人病情是医生的职责。于是，年轻的医生不得不把病情告诉了老太太。老太太出乎意料地平静，她说：“你应该还没把这件事情告诉我丈夫吧？我求你不要这样做。我走了他会很难过的，我们还要去威尼斯。据说在叹息桥下牵手，下辈子就还会在一起……”
爱是发觉自己爱上全世界最笨的那个人。当你真的爱上一个人的时候，是否常有这样的感触：他笨手笨脚，他完全照顾不好自己，他一点儿生活自理能力都没有。唉，没有你，他可怎么办……对于爱人，一方面你期望他独当一面、成熟稳重，可以让你托付终身，另一方面，你又略带溺爱地担心他弄脏衣服，忘带东西，吃不饱饭，睡不好觉。就如同一面期望他有四十岁的成熟，又一面把他当三岁孩子来照顾。
亦舒说喜欢一个人，就总觉着他是天底下最笨的，处处都要人操心照顾，而对于不喜欢的人，往往觉着他聪明伶俐，丝毫不用我们担心。就好像懂了爱的小王子，终于明白只有四根刺的玫瑰说要防止被老虎吃掉，是一件多么笨的事情。
