小学生3分钟英语故事:一丝不苟的州长

A Governor visiting a state prison was implored by a convict to pardon him.

州长在视察一所州管监狱时,有个罪犯哀求州长宽恕他。

“What are you in for?”asked the Governor.

“你犯了什么事?”州长问道。

“I held a high office,”the convict humbly replied,“and sold subordinate appointments.”

“我曾经是个高级官员,”犯人低声下气地回答,“因为向下级卖官。”

“Then I decline to interfere,”said the Governor, with asperity,“a man who abuses his office bymaking it serve a private end and purvey a personal advantage is unfit to be free. By the way,Mr. Warden,”he added to the official beside him, as the convict slunk away,“in appointing youto this position, I was given to understand that your friends could make the Shikane countydelegation to the next State convention solid for the present administration. Was I rightlyinformed?”

“那样的话,我绝不会管你的事情,”州长严厉地说,“为达到个人目的、牟取私利而滥用职权的人不应该得到自由。顺便说一下,监狱长,”当那个罪犯偷偷溜走时,他接着对身旁的那位官员说,“我在任命你担任这个职务时,得知你的朋友能让西科恩县参加下届州会议的代表团支持本届政府。我得到的消息准确吗?”

“You were, sir.”

“是的,州长先生。”

“Very well, then, I will bid you good-bye. Please be so good as to appoint my nephew Chaplain.''

“那么,很好,我该向你道别了。请别忘记任命我的侄子为牧师啊。”

小学生3分钟英语故事:真正的勇气

A father was worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. Sothe father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train his boy.

一位父亲很为儿子担心,虽然儿子已经16岁了,却一点儿勇气都没有。于是,父亲决定去拜访一位禅师,请他训练自己的儿子。

The Buddhist monk said to the boy's father,“You should leave your son alone here. I'll makehim into a real man within three months. However, you can't come to see him during thisperiod.”

禅师对男孩的父亲说:“你应该把你儿子单独留在这里。不出三个月,我会让他成为一个真正的男子汉。不过,在这段时间,你不能来看他。”

Three months later, the boy's father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing matchbetween the boy and an experienced boxer.

三个月后,男孩的父亲又来见禅师。禅师安排这个男孩和一位经验丰富的拳师进行拳术比赛。

Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each timea punch knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the Buddhist monkasked,“What do you think of your child?”

拳师每次一出手,男孩都被击倒在地上,但男孩又马上站起来;每次被击倒,他就又站起来。几个回合后,禅师问道:“你认为你的孩子怎么样?”

“What a shame!”the boy's father said,“I never thought he would be so easily knocked down. Ineedn't have him left here any longer.”

“真丢人!”男孩的父亲说,“我根本没想到他是这样的不堪一击。我不让他再留在这里了。”

“I'm sorry that that's all you see. Don't you see that each time he falls down; he stands upagain instead of crying? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”

“很遗憾,你只看到了这一点。难道你没看到他每次倒下后是重新站起来,而不是哭泣吗?这才是你想要他拥有的那种勇气。”

One day, at a farmhouse, a hunting dog saw a fox catching a fat hen. The fox held the hen inits jaws and ran off into the jungle. The hunting dog chased the fox who could not run fastenough because of the hen held between his jaws.

有一天,狐狸在农舍偷肥母鸡时被猎狗发现了。狐狸叼起那只鸡拼命地往森林里逃。狐狸因为叼着母鸡,跑不快,猎狗在后面紧追不舍。

When the fox passed by a badger outside his cave, the fox put down the dead hen andsaid,“Brother Badger, I have stolen this hen from a farm. Would you please hide it in your cavefirst, and we can enjoy our dinner later together?”

这时,正巧碰到一只獾在洞口附近徘徊,狐狸放下那只死鸡,说道:“獾老弟,我从农舍偷了一只肥母鸡,你先叼回洞里去吧,晚上咱们一同分享好吗?”

The badger happily carried the big fat hen into his cave while the fox quickly ran off.

獾兴高采烈地把它叼进洞穴里去了。狐狸飞快地逃走了。

The hunting dog reached the cave and stopped when he saw some blood stains at theentrance.

猎狗追到这个洞时便停了下来,因为它看见洞穴入口处有鸡的血迹。

The badger shouted from inside the cave,“Dear Hunting Dog, the chicken was stolen by thefox. I am not the one responsible!”

獾在洞里吓得大叫:“猎狗大叔,鸡是狐狸偷的,不关我事!”

The hunting dog replied,“The fox was a thief but you are a greedy badger!”The hunting dogimmediately went inside the cave and killed the badger.

猎狗呵斥道:“狐狸是盗贼,而你是贪便宜的同谋!”猎狗立即跑进洞里咬死了獾。
