He asked the oak that stood near the gate what the trouble was.于是，他问门边的橡树究竟发生了什么事。
He found it was sick of life and determined to die because it was not tall and beautiful like the pine.原来是它们消极厌世、一心求死，因为橡树觉得自己不如松树般高大、秀丽：The pine was all out of heart because it could not bear grapes, like the vine.而松树为自己不如葡萄藤那般结满丰硕的果实而沮丧：The vine was going to throw its life away because it could not stand erect and have as fine fruit as the peach tree.葡萄藤则为自己无法直立，并且无法像桃树那样结出上好的果实而想结束生命The geranium was fretting because it was not tall and fragrant like the lilac…and so on all through the garden.天竺葵也焦躁不安，因为它觉得自己不如紫丁香那样修长、芳香……于是，整个花园都了无生气。
Coming to a heart's-ease, he found its bright face lifted as cheery as ever.国王走到一株心安草面前，发现它仍然神采奕奕，如从前般欢乐。
"Well, heart's-ease, I'm glad, amidst all this discouragement, to find one brave little flower. You do not seem to be the (east disheartened."¨你好，心安草，我感到非常高兴，所有的草木都对自己失去了信心，只有你能勇敢地生活，没有丝毫气馁。
¨"No, I am not of much account, but I thought that if You wanted an oak, or a pine, or a vine, or a peach tree, or a geranium, or a lilac, you
would have planted one; but as I knew you wanted a heart's-ease, I am determined to be the best little heart's-ease that I can.¨虽然我并没有什么值得骄傲的东西，但我想，如果你想要一棵橡树，或松树、葡萄，或桃树、天竺葵、丁香，你就会去种它们，而我知道你想要一株心安草，所以我决心尽我所能做一株最好的心安草。
"
They stayed one day and one night in the farmhouse of a very humble farm. On the way back home at the end of the trip the father asked the son, "What did you think of the trip?"他们在一个农家的寒酸的农场上呆了一天一夜。
在旅程结束回家的路上，爸爸问儿子：“你觉得这次旅行怎么样?The son replied, "Very nice, Dad."儿子回答：“非常好，爸爸。
The father then asked, "Did you noticed how poor they were?"爸爸接着问：“你有没有注意到他们是多么贫穷啊?The son replied, "Yes, I guess so."儿子答道：“是的，或许是吧。
The father then added, "And what did you learn?"爸爸追问道：“那你都是学到了些什么?To this question, the son thought for a moment and answered slowly, "I learned that we have one dog in the house and they have four. We have a fountain in the garden and they have a stream that has no end.关于这一问题，儿子想了一会儿，慢条斯理地回答道：“我学到我们家只有一只狗，而他们却有四只。
我们花园里有一个喷水池，而他们却有一条没有尽头的小河。
"We have fancy lanterns in our garden, while they have the stars. Our garden goes to the edge of our yard, but for their back yard they have the entire ho rizon!"“我们花园里有色彩夺目的灯笼，而他们却有无数闪亮的星星。
我们院子的尽头就是花园，而他们的后院却有开阔的视野。
At the end of the son's reply, the rich father was speechless. His son then added: "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we really are."儿子说完后，这个富有的爸爸无言以对。
儿子还说道：“谢谢你，爸爸，让我明白了我们是多么贫穷。
Isn't it true that all depends on the lens you use to see life?一切在于看待问题的方式，难道不是吗?If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you've got everything!如果你拥有了爱情、朋友、家庭、健康、幽默和积极的态度，你就拥有了一切。
You can't buy any of these things.You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!这些东西是金钱买不到的。
你可以拥有你想象中的任何物质财富和为将来做的储备，但假若你精神贫乏，还是一无所有。
因为她有机会为这片沙漠增添一处绚丽的景色了……And this is all
she wanted to do bring a little bit of beauty to this world.这就是她梦寐以求的——为这个世界带来一点儿美丽。
One day the hunter came by — and stepped on her.一天，一个猎人经过这里——并从她身上踏了过去。
She was going to die and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying but because she wouldnot have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.她即将死了——她感到十分悲伤。
她悲伤的原因，并不是因为她将要死去，而是因为她再也没有机会为这片沙漠增添一处绚丽的景色了。
The great spirit saw her, and was listening. Indeed, he said ...She should be living...And hereached down and touched her and gave her life.一个伟大的精灵看到了她，并听到了她的哭诉。
事实上，他说……她应该活下去……于是，他来到沙漠上抚摸着她，并赋予了她生命。
And she grew up to be a beautiful flower...and this corner of the desert became so beautifulbecause of her.后来，她终于长大成了一朵美丽的花儿……这片沙漠也因她的存在而变得格外美丽。

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young. 无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长里接收到人间万物传递来的、、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。 An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. 应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的限制而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去，最后水流平缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这样地消失了。 Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals. 意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是不思进取的结果。 Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. 光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。 爱情的世界很大也很小 The love world is big, which can hold hundreds of disappointments; the love world is small which is crowded even with three people inside. 原来的世界很大，大到可以装下上百种委屈； 原来爱情的世界很小，小到三个人就挤到窒息。 To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. 对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。 Don’t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you. 不要为那些不愿在你身上花费的人而浪费你的时间。

简单英语童话故事带翻译-潘多拉 Pandora After the stealing of fire,Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he ordered his son Hephaestus tobuild an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.Among others,Athena clothed her in an attractive coat and Hermes gave her the power of telling lies.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.The couple lived a happy life for some time.Then trouble came on to the human world. 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 itcame unrest and war,Plague and sickness,theft and violence, grief sorrow,and all the other evils.The human world was hence to experience these

Steve and I played some games, talked about something interesting and had a snack. In the end it got dark. We were just falling asleep when We heard something unusual. “Maybe it is just a small animal,” I said. Steve said nothing, but I could feel he was frightened.
