英语小故事短文：男孩和钉子
Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a
bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence.
从前，有一个小男孩，他的脾气很坏。他的父亲送给他一袋钉子。告诉他说，他每发一次火，就必须将一颗钉子钉在栅栏上。
The first day the boy hammered 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
第一天，男孩将37颗钉子钉进了栅栏。又过了几周，随着他学会控制自己的怒火，钉子的数目日益减少。他发现控制自己的脾气要比往栅栏上钉那些钉子容易。Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and his father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
最后，男孩再也不发火的日子终于来了。他把这件事告诉了他的父亲。他的父亲建议他现在每天能控制住自己的脾气，就拔掉一颗钉子。
The days passed and one day the young boy told his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. The fence would never be the same. “When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like those nails,”his father said.
又过去了好几天。有一天，男孩对他的父亲说，所有的钉子都没有了。男孩的父亲拉住他的手，将他领到了栅栏边。栅栏再也不是从前的样子了。“当你生气的说出事情时，它们就像那些钉子一样留下了伤疤。”他的父亲说。
袋鼠与笼子
(Kangaroos and the Cage)
One day the staff members of a zoo called a meeting to discuss the problem--how to deal with the kangaroos that were found out of the cage. They came to the conclusion that the cage was placed too low and decided to raise it from one to two meters high. But the next day the kangaroos were still at large and they again raised the cage to three meters.
有一天，动物园的管理员们发现袋鼠从笼子里跑出来了，于是开会讨论，一致认为是笼子的高度过低，所以他们决定将笼子的高度由原来的1米加高到2米。结果第二天他们发现，袋鼠还是跑到外面来，所以他们又决定再将高度加高到3米。Quite beyond their expectation the next morning they saw the kangaroos still free to go about. They were alarmed and determined to go to all the length by raising the cage to the height of ten meters.
没想到隔天居然又看到袋鼠全跑到外面，于是管理员们大为紧张，决定一不做二不休，将笼子的高度加高到10米。
Later a giraffe, while chatting with some kangaroos, asked them, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage?”
一天，长颈鹿和几只袋鼠在闲聊，“你们看，这些人会不会再继续加高你们的笼子?”长颈鹿问。
“Hard to say,”said a kangaroo, “if they continue forgetting to fasten the cage door.”
“很难说。”袋鼠说，“如果他们再继续忘记关门的话!”
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 bec ame 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.)
The Fox and the Crow
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.
“狐狸和乌鸦”
有一天,一只乌鸦站在窝旁的树枝上嘴里叼着一片肉，心里非常高兴。这时候，一只狐狸看见了乌鸦，馋得直流口水，非常想得到那片肉。但是，无论狐狸说什么，乌鸦就是不理睬狐狸。最后，狐狸赞美乌鸦的嗓音最优美，并要求乌鸦唱几句让他欣赏欣赏。乌鸦听了狐狸赞美的话，得意极了，就唱起歌来。没想到，肉一掉下来，狐狸就叼起肉，钻回了洞

英语哲理小故事短文欣赏小短文 What are the secrets that enable tough people to succeed? Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they fly when others sink?坚韧不拔的人成功的秘诀是什么?当其他人被困难压倒他们为什么能挺过艰难的时刻?为什么其他人失败了,而他们却能获得成功?为什么其他人都深陷泥沼时,他们却能展翅高飞?The answer is very simple. It’s all in the way they treat their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem-free life is a fantasy —a mirage3 in the desert. Everyone should accept that fact.答案很简单,全看他们是如何看待自己面临的难题。 不错,人人有本难念的经。 没有难题困扰的人生只能是一个幻想,是沙漠中的海市蜃楼。 人人都该接受这个现实。 Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its base. Life has its ups and downs, its peaks and its valleys. No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time. Problems will end. They will all be resolved4 in time.每一座山都有巅峰,每一个峡谷都有深底。 人生也有兴衰起伏,有山峰和低谷。 不会有人一生都辉煌,也不会有人一生都时乖命蹇。 难题总有了结的一天。 随着时间的推移,一切难题都会迎刃而解。

The Power of Compliment The following story is excerpted from "The Fine Art of Small Talk". Prior to my wedding, I had a conversation with my good friend Karen about all the arrangements. I told her that for a period of time, I had been seeing two men----Ben and Steve. She invited me to tell her about both of them. I said, "Ben has a great sense of hunmor. He's the life of the party. He dresses like a million bucks and has taken me on wonderful trips. We've been to Hilton Head, Europe, and had a bunch of weekend mountain getways. He's a great golfer and an all-around wonderful guy." Karen could hardly contain herself, she was so excited. She said: " He sounds like a dream. I'm so happy that you're marrying him." " I'm not," I replied, "I'm marrying Steve." Karen was speechless. Finally, she collected herself and said, " Well Debra, Ben sounds like a prince. Why are you marrying Steve?" " Beacuse he makes me feel so special because of all the wonderful things he says about me. And you know what? He means every of them." The power in a sincere compliment is enormous. There is nothing that makes people feel more special than to have their finer traits noted and appreciated. END
Covering the Eye with a Leaf In the State of Chu, there was a man whose family was very poor. Even at night the often dreamt of striking it rich, but the never worked hard. One day, when he was leafing through the book Huainan Zi, he came across a line saying:” When the mantis preys on the cicada, it relies entirely upon a leaf to conceal its body.” He thought that if one could get such a leaf, one could become invisible。 Thereupon, he ran into the woods, looking for just such a leaf among the branches. He had searched a long time before he discovered a mantis hiding itself behind a leaf and waiting to catch a cicada. He climbed up the tree at once, and plucked the leaf. But he was in such a big hurry that, out of carelessness. The leaf dropped to the ground. There were many, many fallen leaves on the ground. How could he identify the leaf he had plucked？ So he had to put all the leaves into a bamboo basket and carry them home. As soon as he got home, he held up one leaf after another in turn to cover h is eye, and kept asking his wife:“Can you see me?”In the beginning, his wife always answered:” Yes, I can.”After a long time, she began to feel weird: what was the matter with her husband today? Why did he keep holding up a leaf and asking her the same question?。” He did this over and over again for one whole day. In the end, his wife got impatient and humoured him by saying:” No, I can’t.” Hearing this, he became wild with joy. He turned and ran out to the street. Holding the leaf in one hand, he grabbed with the other hand the goods in a shop. But before he could withdraw his hand, he was caught on the spot and handed over to the local yamen.

I was mesmerized by how Aladdin used his three magic wishes. As a small girl, I dreamed of having the magic wishes to go wherever I wanted to go and see whatever I wanted to see. As you can probably guess, I haven’t found my genie in the lamp yet, however, I have found something just as exciting and it has made marvelous changes in not only my life, but the lives of all human-beings. It is called technology. I still remember how my father told me about his childhood back in those days when China was not as open and developed as it is now. Children would run for kilometers to school, make toys with wood by themselves, and the biggest dream of a child was holding two jars of sugar, one white, the other brown in each arm and having the choice of eating whichever he wanted. Just look at what we have now. Magnificent technological advancement has opened up a whole new world to us. However, just as our lives become more convenient, problems arise from this new life style. We seem to be caged in the modern technology; we are thinking alike as a result of using the same search engine, we are getting lazy as most of our work can be done by machines, and we are alienating people around us for we are more comfortable talking on phones and typing in front of a computer. If I was given the chance to make my magic wishes now, I would wish we could go back in time and live for three days without advanced technology. I wonder what we would do in those three days. Here is what I imagine: On the first day, people would be feeling so uncomfortable with the new situation that they
