the lamb of god典故全文共四篇示例,供读者参考第一篇示例:《神的羔羊》是一则充满着宗教色彩的典故,它源自于《圣经》中的《约翰福音》。
在《约翰福音》中,耶稣基督被称为“神的羔羊”,这个称号在基督教教义中具有非常重要的意义。
在基督教信仰中,羔羊是一个具有象征意义的动物,它代表了无辜和纯洁。
神的羔羊象征着基督的牺牲,他被认为是为了人类的罪而被上帝所怜悯和牺牲。
这种观念的根源可以追溯到犹太教的赎罪仪式,人们会献祭羔羊来祈求宽恕和赦罪。
在《约翰福音》中,耶稣被称为“神的羔羊”,这是指他要承担人类的罪孽,为人类的罪过而死。
神的羔羊是受难者的代名词,他是为了人类的罪孽而被献祭的羔羊。
在这个称号的背后,是上帝对人类的怜悯和慈爱,以及耶稣对人类的牺牲和爱。
神的羔羊是上帝的神圣形象,他代表了无数的牺牲和奉献,是基督信仰中最为重要的象征之一。
通过这个典故,基督教徒可以学习如何以无私的爱和奉献来面对生活中的挑战和困难,体验基督的慈爱和奉献精神。
除了在基督教中有着重要的象征意义之外,《神的羔羊》这个典故也被广泛运用在文学和艺术作品中。

在基督教文化中,“上帝羔羊”指代耶稣基督,是基督教信仰的核心元素之一。
下面将从不同角度详细介绍“上帝羔羊”的典故。
在圣经中,上帝羔羊的典故最早出现在旧约《出埃及记》中。
在犹太人逃离埃及的时候,上帝命令他们每人家庭准备一只无瑕疵的羔羊献为祭祀。
当埃及人家长的儿子遭遇死亡的时候,犹太人家庭献上羔羊的血在门楣涂抹,这样死亡的灾祸就不会临到他们家中。
1、柏拉图式爱情Platonic Love柏拉图(公元前427~公元前347),古希腊著名哲学家。
苏格拉底的学生,亚里士多德的老师。
其哲学思想对唯心主义在西方的发展影响极大,代表作有《理想国》、《法律》等。
他主张人的绝对精神,而忽视肉体感受。
“柏拉图婚姻”即是没有肉体性欲,而是绝对精神的男女爱恋。
2、诺亚方舟Noah’s Ark出自《圣经》。
上帝对人类所犯下的罪孽非常忧虑,决定用洪水消灭人类。
而诺亚是个正直的人,上帝吩咐他造船避灾。
经过40个昼夜的洪水,除诺亚一家和部分动物外,其他生物都被洪水吞没了。
后来人们常用此语比喻灾难中的避难所或救星。
3、滑铁卢Waterloo1815年,在比利时的滑铁卢,拿破仑率领法军与英国、普鲁士联军展开激战,法军惨败。
随后,拿破仑以退位结束了其政治生涯。
因此,“滑铁卢”常常被用来比喻惨痛的失败。
4、第二十一条军规Catch-22本是名著《第二十一条军规》的书名,作者为英国的约瑟夫·海勒。
军规规定:面临真正的、迫在眉睫的危险时,对自身安全表示关注,乃是头脑理性活动的结果;如果你认为你疯了,可以允许你停止飞行,只要你提出请求就行。
可是你一提出请求,就证明你不是疯子,就得继续飞行。
此语常用来比喻圈套、枷锁等。
它虽看不见,摸不着,但却无处不在,无所不包。
自相矛盾的一套诡辩逻辑,任何人也逃不出它的手心。
5、皮格马利翁效应Pygmalion Effect皮格马利翁是古希腊神话中的塞浦路斯国王,善雕刻。
一次他雕刻了一座美丽的少女像,在夜以继日的工作中,皮格马利翁把全部的精力,全部的热情,全部的爱恋都赋予了这座雕像。
后来,爱神阿佛洛狄忒见他感情真挚,就给雕像以生命,使两人结为夫妻。
于是“皮格马利翁效应”成为一个人只要对艺术对象有着执著的追求精神,便会发生艺术感应的代名词。
6、缪斯Muse缪斯是希腊神话中九位文艺和科学女神的通称。
她们均为主神和记忆女神之女。
她们以音乐和诗歌之神阿波罗为首领,分别掌管着历史、悲剧、喜剧、抒情诗、舞蹈、史诗、爱情诗、颂歌和天文。
A Cosmopolite in a Cafe咖啡馆里的世界公民At midnight the cafe was crowded. By some chance the little table at which I sat had escaped the eye of incomers, and two vacant chairs at it extended their arms with venal hospitality to the influx of patrons.And then a cosmopolite sat in one of them, and I was glad, for I held a theory that since Adam no true citizen of the world has existed. We hear of them, and we see foreign labels on much luggage, but we find travellers instead of cosmopolites.I invoke your consideration of the scene--the marble-topped tables, the range of leather-upholstered wall seats, the gay company, the ladies dressed in demi-state toilets, speaking in an exquisite visible chorus of taste, economy, opulence or art; the sedulous and largess-loving garcons, the music wisely catering to all with its raids upon the composers; the melange of talk and laughter--and, if you will, the Wurzburger in the tall glass cones that bend to your lips as a ripe cherry sways on its branch to the beak of a robber jay. I was told by a sculptor from Mauch Chunk that the scene was truly Parisian.My cosmopolite was named E. Rushmore Coglan, and he will be heard from next summer at Coney Island. He is to establish a new "attraction" there, he informed me, offering kingly diversion. And then his conversation rang along parallels of latitude and longitude. He took the great, round world in his hand, so to speak, familiarly, contemptuously, and it seemed no larger than the seed of a Maraschino cherry in a table d'hote grape fruit. He spoke disrespectfully of the equator, he skipped from continent to continent, he derided the zones, he mopped up the high seas with his napkin. With a wave of his hand he would speak of a certain bazaar in Hyderabad. Whiff! He would have you on skis in Lapland. Zip! Now you rode the breakers with the Kanakas at Kealaikahiki. Presto! He dragged you through an Arkansas post-oak swamp, let you dry for a moment on the alkali plains of his Idaho ranch, then whirled you into the society of Viennese archdukes. Anon he would be telling you of a cold he acquired in a Chicago lake breeze and how old Escamila cured it in Buenos Ayres with a hot infusion of the chuchula weed. You would have addressed a letter to "E. Rushmore Coglan, Esq., the Earth, Solar System, the Universe," and have mailed it, feeling confident that it would be delivered to him.I was sure that I had found at last the one true cosmopolite since Adam, and I listened to his worldwide discourse fearful lest I should discover in it the local note of the mere globe-trotter. But his opinions never fluttered or drooped; he was as impartial to cities, countries and continents as the winds or gravitation. And as E. Rushmore Coglan prattled of this little planet I thought with glee of a great almost-cosmopolite who wrote for the whole world and dedicated himself to Bombay. In a poem he has to say that there is pride and rivalry between the cities of the earth, and that "the men that breed from them, they traffic up and down, but cling to their cities' hem as a child to the mother's gown." And whenever they walk "by roaring streets unknown" they remember their native city "most faithful, foolish, fond; making her mere-breathed name their bond upon their bond." And my glee was roused because I had caught Mr. Kipling napping. Here I had found a man not made from dust; one who had no narrow boasts of birthplace or country, one who, if he bragged at all, would brag of his whole round globe against the Martians and the inhabitants of the Moon.Expression on these subjects was precipitated from E. Rushmore Coglan by the third corner to our table. While Coglan was describing to me the topography along the Siberian Railway theorchestra glided into a medley. The concluding air was "Dixie," and as the exhilarating notes tumbled forth they were almost overpowered by a great clapping of hands from almost every table.It is worth a paragraph to say that this remarkable scene can be witnessed every evening in numerous cafes in the City of New York. Tons of brew have bee n consumed over theories to account for it. Some have conjectured hastily that all Southerners in town hie themselves to cafes at nightfall. This applause of the "rebel" air in a Northern city does puzzle a little; but it is not insolvable. The war with Spain, many years' generous mint and watermelon crops, a few long-shot winners at the New Orleans race-track, and the brilliant banquets given by the Indiana and Kansas citizens who compose the North Carolina Society have made the South rather a "fad" in Manhattan. Your manicure will lisp softly that your left forefinger reminds her so much of a gentleman's in Richmond, Va. Oh, certainly; but many a lady has to work now--the war, you know. When "Dixie" was being played a dark-haired young man sprang up from somewhere with a Mosby guerrilla yell and waved frantically his soft- brimmed hat. Then he strayed through the smoke, dropped into the vacant chair at our table and pulled out cigarettes.The evening was at the period when reserve is thawed. One of us mentioned three Wurzburgers to the waiter; the dark-haired young man acknowledged his inclusion in the order by a smile and a nod. I hastened to ask him a question because I wanted to try out a theory I had."Would you mind telling me," I began, "whether you are from--"The fist of E. Rushmore Coglan banged the table and I was jarred into silence."Excuse me," said he, "but that's a question I never like to hear asked. What does it matter where a man is from? Is it fair to judge a man by his post-office address?Why, I've seen Kentuckians who hated whiskey, Virginians who weren't descended from Pocahontas, Indianians who hadn't written a novel, Mexicans who didn't wear velvet trousers with silver dollars sewed along the seams, funny Englishmen, spendthrift Yankees, cold-blooded Southerners, narrow- minded Westerners, and New Yorkers who were too busy to stop for an hour on the street to watch a one-armed grocer's clerk do up cranberries in paper bags. Let a man be a man and don't handicap him with the label of any section.""Pardon me," I said, "but my curiosity was not altogether an idle one. I know the South, and when the band plays 'Dixie' I like to observe. I have formed the belief that the man who applauds that air with special violence and ostensible sectional loyalty is invariably a native of either Secaucus, N.J., or the district between Murray Hill Lyceum and the Harlem River, this city. I was about to put my opinion to the test by inquiring of this gentleman when you interrupted with your own--larger theory, I must confess."And now the dark-haired young man spoke to me, and it became evident that his mind also moved along its own set of grooves."I should like to be a periwinkle," said he, mysteriously, "on the top of a valley, and sing tooralloo-ralloo."This was clearly too obscure, so I turned again to Coglan."I've been around the world twelve times," said he. "I know an Esquimau in Upernavik who sends to Cincinnati for his neckties, and I saw a goatherder in Uruguay who won a prize in a Battle Creek breakfast food puzzle competition. I pay rent on a room in Cairo, Egypt, and another in Yokohama all the year around. I've got slippers waiting for me in a tea-house in Shanghai, and I don't have to tell 'em how to cook my eggs in Rio de Janeiro or Seattle. It's a mighty little old world. What's the use of bragging about being from the North, or the South, or the old manor house in the dale, orEuclid avenue, Cleveland, or Pike's Peak, or Fairfax County, Va., or Hooligan's Flats or any place? It'll be a better world when we quit being fools about some mildewed town or ten acres of swampland just because we happened to be born there.""You seem to be a genuine cosmopolite," I said admiringly. "But it also seems that you would decry patriotism.""A relic of the stone age," declared Coglan, warmly. "We are all brothers--Chinamen, Englishmen, Zulus, Patagonians and the people in the bend of the Kaw River. Some day all this petty pride in one's city or State or section or country will be wiped out, and we'll all be citizens of the world, as we ought to be.""But while you are wandering in foreign lands," I persisted, "do not your thoughts revert to some spo--some dear and--""Nary a spot," interrupted E. R. Coglan, flippantly. "The terrestrial, globular, planetary hunk of matter, slightly flattened at the poles, and known as the Earth, is my abode. I've met a good many object-bound citizens of this country abroad. I've seen men from Chicago sit in a gondola in Venice on a moonlight night and brag about their drainage canal. I've seen a Southerner on being introduced to the King of England hand that monarch, without batting his eyes, the information that his grandaunt on his mother's side was related by marriage to the Perkinses, of Charleston. I knew a New Yorker who was kidnapped for ransom by some Afghanistan bandits. His people sent over the money and he came back to Kabul with the agent. 'Afghanistan?' the natives said to him through an interpreter. 'Well, not so slow, do you think?' 'Oh, I don't know,' says he, and he begins to tell them about a cab driver at Sixth avenue and Broadway. Those ideas don't suit me. I'm not tied down to anything that isn't8,000 miles in diameter. Just put me down as E. Rushmore Coglan, citizen of the terrestrial sphere."My cosmopolite made a large adieu and left me, for he thought he saw some one through the chatter and smoke whom he knew. So I was left with the would-be periwinkle, who was reduced to Wurzburger without further ability to voice his aspirations to perch, melodious, up on the summit of a valley.I sat reflecting upon my evident cosmopolite and wondering how the poet had managed to miss him. He was my discovery and I believed in him. How was it? "The men that breed from them they traffic up and down, but cling to their cities' hem as a child to the mother's gown."Not so E. Rushmore Coglan. With the whole world for his--My meditations were interrupted by a tremendous noise and conflict in another part of the cafe.I saw above the heads of the seated patrons E. Rushmore Coglan and a stranger to me engaged in terrific battle. They fought between the tables like Titans, and glasses crashed, and men caught their hats up and were knocked down, and a brunette screamed, and a blonde began to sing "Teasing."My cosmopolite was sustaining the pride and reputation of the Earth when the waiters closed in on both combatants with their famous flying wedge formation and bore them outside, still resisting.I called McCarthy, one of the French garcons, and asked him the cause of the conflict."The man with the red tie" (that was my cosmopolite), said he, "got hot on account of things said about the bum sidewalks and water supply of the place he come from by the other guy." "Why," said I, bewildered, "that man is a citizen of the world--a cosmopolite. He--" "Originally from Mattawamkeag, Maine, he said," continued McCarthy, "and he wouldn't standfor no knockin' the place."半夜,咖啡馆拥挤不通。

适合初中生阅读的英语小故事(一)自负的鹅The feathers of a Goose put the newly-fallen snow to the blush. Proud of this dazzling gift of Nature, she considered herself intended for a Swan, rather than for that which she was.有一只鹅,羽毛洁白如玉,连刚刚飘落的白雪都不能与之媲美。
她对大自然给予她的这份光彩炫目的礼物大为骄傲,以为自己终会成为一只天鹅,而不再是现在这般模样。
Accordingly , separating herself from her companions, she swam, solitarily and majestically, round the pond. She now stretched her neck, the treacherous shortness of which she endeavored to obviate with all her might. Now she tried to give it the graceful bend, which designates the beautiful Swan the bird of Apollo.于是,她离开同伴们,独自在池塘里神气地游来游去,她伸伸脖颈,竭力想拉长她那短短的脖子。
她又试图优雅地把脖子弯一下,美丽的天鹅正是因此而被称为太阳神之鸟的。
But in vain, it was too stiff, and with all her pains, she remained a ridiculous Goose, without inspiring a single beholder with the least idea of her resemblance to a Swan.可是白费劲儿,她的脖子太硬了。

The Tale of Elarion and the Enchanted GrovePrologueIn the ancient world of Eldoria, where magic flowed as freely as the rivers and the gods often walked among mortals, there existed a realm of enchantment and wonder. Eldoria was a land of rolling hills, dense forests, and towering mountains, each teeming with mythical creatures and ancient secrets. Among these marvels lay the Enchanted Grove, a mystical forest said to be the birthplace of magic itself. This sacred grove was protected by powerful enchantments and was accessible only to those chosen by the gods. Our story begins with Elarion, a humble farmer with a destiny far greater than he could ever imagine. The Ordinary Life of ElarionElarion lived in the quaint village of Greendale, nestled at the edge of the Enchanted Grove. He was known for his kindness, humility, and deep connection to the land. Elarion's life was simple; he tended to his crops, cared for his animals, and often helped his neighbors with their daily tasks. Despite his contentment, Elarion always felt a mysterious pull towards the grove, as if it were calling out to him.The ProphecyOne fateful night, under a sky illuminated by a rare celestial alignment, Elarion had a vivid dream. In this dream, the goddess Aria, protector of the Enchanted Grove, appeared to him. She spoke of an ancient prophecy that foretold the coming of a chosen one who would save Eldoria from an impending darkness. The chosen one, Aria revealed, was Elarion. She instructed him to enter the Enchanted Grove and seek out the Tree of Eternity, which held the key to unlocking his true potential.The Journey BeginsDetermined to fulfill his destiny, Elarion set out the next morning towards the grove. As he approached, the air around him seemed toshimmer with magic, and the dense foliage parted to reveal a hidden path. With each step, Elarion felt the weight of the prophecy and the hopes of his people resting on his shoulders. He ventured deeper into the forest, encountering various mystical creatures, each offering guidance and cryptic advice.The Trials of the GroveThe Enchanted Grove was not a place to be taken lightly. To reach the Tree of Eternity, Elarion had to pass through three trials, each designed to test his courage, wisdom, and heart.1. The Trial of Courage:Elarion's first challenge was to face the Guardian of the Grove, a colossal serpent known as Nythra. Nythra was a fearsome creature, but Elarion, armed only with his resolve, managed to outsmart the serpent by using his knowledge of the land. He lured Nythra into a trap of thorns, demonstrating his bravery and earning the guardian's respect.2. The Trial of Wisdom:Next, Elarion encountered the Wisps of the Woods, ethereal beings that thrived on trickery and illusion. They presented him with riddles and puzzles, each more perplexing than the last. Drawing upon his experiences and the lessons he had learned from nature, Elarion solved their challenges, proving his intellect and earning the wisps' guidance.3. The Trial of Heart:The final trial was the most personal. Elarion found himself in a clearing, surrounded by visions of his past and the people he loved. The goddess Aria appeared once more, testing his compassion and empathy. He was faced with a choice: to save his village from an immediate threat or to continue his quest. Elarion, with a heavy heart, chose to protect his people, but Aria, recognizing the purity of his intentions, revealed that the threat was an illusion. His selflessness had proven his worth.The Tree of EternityHaving passed the trials, Elarion finally reached the Tree of Eternity. The tree stood tall and majestic, its leaves glowing with an inner light. At its base, a crystal-clear pool reflected the stars above. Elarion approached the tree, feeling its ancient power resonating within him. As he touched the trunk, a surge of energy coursed through him, awakening the magic that had lain dormant in his bloodline.The goddess Aria appeared for the final time, bestowing upon Elarion the Blessing of Eternity. With this blessing, he gained the ability to harness the magic of Eldoria and protect the land from the encroaching darkness. Aria revealed that Elarion's true power lay not in his magic, but in his heart, courage, and wisdom.The ReturnEmpowered by the Blessing of Eternity, Elarion returned to Greendale. The once-ordinary farmer was now a guardian of Eldoria, destined to protect the realm from any threat. News of his journey and the fulfilled prophecy spread throughout the land, inspiring hope and unity among the people. Elarion used his newfound abilities to heal the sick, nurture the land, and defend his village from any danger.The LegacyElarion's tale became a legend, passed down through generations. The Enchanted Grove remained a sacred place, protected by Elarion and his descendants, who inherited his wisdom and courage. Eldoria flourished under their guardianship, a testament to the power of love, bravery, and selflessness.And so, the tale of Elarion and the Enchanted Grove endured, reminding all who heard it that even the humblest of hearts can change the fate of a land and that true magic lies within.。
英语故事:上帝的咖啡
God's Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What
all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us." God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee! "The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything." Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
上帝的咖啡
一群事业有成的同学回去看望他们的大学老师,很快他们开始抱
怨生活和工作中的压力。
老师去厨房为客人们准备咖啡,回来时端着
一大壶咖啡和各式各样的杯子,这些杯子有陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的,有的普通,有的昂贵,有的精致,老师让大家随意享用。
等
每个人都端起一杯咖啡,老师说话了:你们注意到吗:所有好看昂贵
的杯子都被用了,剩下那些朴素便宜的杯子。
你们都只想要的,这很
正常,这恰恰是你们的问题和压力所在。
杯子不会让咖啡的质量变得
更好,很多时候,仅仅让它变得更贵一些,甚至,有时候,让人忽略
了到底我们在喝什么。
你们真正想要的其实是咖啡,不是杯子,但你
们有意识地去拿那些的杯子,随后开始打量其他人手上的杯子。
想想吧:生活好比咖啡,工作、金钱和社会地位都仅仅杯子,仅仅生活的
容器,而我们拥有的杯子既无法定义、也无法改变我们生活的质量。
有时,因为我们只关心杯子,我们甚至不能够好好品尝上帝赐予我们
的咖啡。
上帝冲泡了咖啡,不是杯子。
······享受你们的咖啡吧。
最快乐的人们并不是因为他们拥有的一切,他们仅仅把一切当成。
简单地活着。
仁慈地爱着。
深深地关心着。
友善地说话。
其他的,就
留给上帝吧。
