The Story of Obama's Mother

1872FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE STORY OF A MOTHERby Hans Christian AndersenA MOTHER sat by her little child; she was very sad, for she fearedit would die. It was quite pale, and its little eyes were closed,and sometimes it drew a heavy deep breath, almost like a sigh; andthen the mother gazed more sadly than ever on the poor littlecreature. Some one knocked at the door, and a poor old man walkedin. He was wrapped in something that looked like a greathorse-cloth; and he required it truly to keep him warm, for it wascold winter; the country everywhere lay covered with snow and ice, andthe wind blew so sharply that it cut one's face. The little childhad dozed off to sleep for a moment, and the mother, seeing that theold man shivered with the cold, rose and placed a small mug of beer onthe stove to warm for him. The old man sat and rocked the cradle;and the mother seated herself on a chair near him, and looked at hersick child who still breathed heavily, and took hold of its littlehand."Y ou think I shall keep him, do you not?" she said. "Ourall-merciful God will surely not take him away from me."The old man, who was indeed Death himself, nodded his head in a peculiar manner, which might have signified either Y es, or No; and the mother cast down her eyes, while the tears rolled down her cheeks. Then her head became heavy, for she had not closed her eyes forthree days and nights, and she slept, but only for a moment. Shivering with cold, she started up and looked round the room. The old man was gone, and her child- it was gone too!- the old man had taken it with him. In the corner of the room the old clock began to strike; "whirr" went the chains, the heavy weight sank to the ground, andthe clock stopped; and the poor mother rushed out of the house calling for her child. Out in the snow sat a woman in long black garments, and she said to the mother, "Death has been with you in your room. I saw him hastening away with your little child; he strides faster thanthe wind, and never brings back what he has taken away.""Only tell me which way he has gone," said the mother; tell me the way, I will find him.""I know the way," said the woman in the black garments; "but before I tell you, you must sing to me all the songs that you havesung to your child; I love these songs, I have heard them before. I am Night, and I saw your tears flow as you sang.""I will sing them all to you," said the mother; "but do not detain me now. I must overtake him, and find my child."But Night sat silent and still. Then the mother wept and sang, and wrung her hands. And there were many songs, and yet even more tears; till at length Night said, "Go to the right, into the dark forest offir-trees; for I saw Death take that road with your little child."Within the wood the mother came to cross roads, and she knew not which to take. Just by stood a thorn-bush; it had neither leaf nor flower, for it was the cold winter time, and icicles hung on the branches. "Have you not seen Death go by, with my little child?" she asked."Y es," replied the thorn-bush; "but I will not tell you whichway he has taken until you have warmed me in your bosom. I am freezing to death here, and turning to ice."Then she pressed the bramble to her bosom quite close, so thatit might be thawed, and the thorns pierced her flesh, and greatdrops of blood flowed; but the bramble shot forth fresh greenleaves, and they became flowers on the cold winter's night, so warm is the heart of a sorrowing mother. Then the bramble-bush told her the path she must take. She came at length to a great lake, on which there was neither ship nor boat to be seen. The lake was not frozen sufficiently for her to pass over on the ice, nor was it open enoughfor her to wade through; and yet she must cross it, if she wished tofind her child. Then she laid herself down to drink up the water ofthe lake, which was of course impossible for any human being to do; but the bereaved mother thought that perhaps a miracle might take place to help her. "Y ou will never succeed in this," said the lake;let us make an agreement together which will be better. I love to collect pearls, and your eyes are the purest I have ever seen. Ifyou will weep those eyes away in tears into my waters, then I willtake you to the large hothouse where Death dwells and rears flowers and trees, every one of which is a human life.""Oh, what would I not give to reach my child!" said the weeping mother; and as she still continued to weep, her eyes fell into the depths of the lake, and became two costly pearls.Then the lake lifted her up, and wafted her across to the opposite shore as if she were on a swing, where stood a wonderful building many miles in length. No one could tell whether it was a mountain covered with forests and full of caves, or whether it had been built. Butthe poor mother could not see, for she had wept her eyes into the lake. "Where shall I find Death, who went away with my little child?" she asked."He has not arrived here yet," said an old gray-haired woman, who was walking about, and watering Death's hothouse. "How have you found your way here? and who helped you?""God has helped me," she replied. "He is merciful; will you not bemerciful too? Where shall I find my little child?""I did not know the child," said the old woman; "and you are blind. Many flowers and trees have faded to-night, and Death will soon come to transplant them. Y ou know already that every human being has a life-tree or a life-flower, just as may be ordained for him. They looklike other plants; but they have hearts that beat. Children's heartsalso beat: from that you may perhaps be able to recognize yourchild. But what will you give me, if I tell you what more you willhave to do?"I have nothing to give," said the afflicted mother; "but Iwould go to the ends of the earth for you.""I can give you nothing to do for me there," said the old woman; "but you can give me your long black hair. Y ou know yourself that itis beautiful, and it pleases me. Y ou can take my white hair in exchange, which will be something in return.""Do you ask nothing more than that?" said she. "I will give itto you with pleasure."And she gave up her beautiful hair, and received in return the white locks of the old woman. Then they went into Death's vast hothouse, where flowers and trees grew together in wonderful profusion. Blooming hyacinths, under glass bells, and peonies, like strong trees. There grew water-plants, some quite fresh, and otherslooking sickly, which had water-snakes twining round them, and black crabs clinging to their stems. There stood noble palm-trees, oaks, and plantains, and beneath them bloomed thyme and parsley. Each tree and flower had a name; each represented a human life, and belonged tomen still living, some in China, others in Greenland, and in all partsof the world. Some large trees had been planted in little pots, sothat they were cramped for room, and seemed about to burst the potto pieces; while many weak little flowers were growing in rich soil,with moss all around them, carefully tended and cared for. The sorrowing mother bent over the little plants, and heard the humanheart beating in each, and recognized the beatings of her child'sheart among millions of others."That is it," she cried, stretching out her hand towards alittle crocus-flower which hung down its sickly head."Do not touch the flower," exclaimed the old woman; "but place yourself here; and when Death comes- I expect him every minute- do not let him pull up that plant, but threaten him that if he does youwill serve the other flowers in the same manner. This will make him afraid; for he must account to God for each of them. None can be uprooted, unless he receives permission to do so."There rushed through the hothouse a chill of icy coldness, and the blind mother felt that Death had arrived."How did you find your way hither?" asked he; "how could you come here faster than I have?""I am a mother," she answered.And Death stretched out his hand towards the delicate little flower; but she held her hands tightly round it, and held it fast at same time, with the most anxious care, lest she should touch one of the leaves. Then Death breathed upon her hands, and she felt his breath colder than the icy wind, and her hands sank down powerless."Y ou cannot prevail against me," said Death."But a God of mercy can," said she."I only do His will," replied Death. "I am his gardener. I takeall His flowers and trees, and transplant them into the gardens of Paradise in an unknown land. How they flourish there, and what that garden resembles, I may not tell you.""Give me back my child," said the mother, weeping and imploring; and she seized two beautiful flowers in her hands, and cried to Death, "I will tear up all your flowers, for I am in despair.""Do not touch them," said Death. "Y ou say you are unhappy; and would you make another mother as unhappy as yourself?""Another mother!" cried the poor woman, setting the flowers free from her hands."There are your eyes," said Death. "I fished them up out of thelake for you. They were shining brightly; but I knew not they were yours. Take them back- they are clearer now than before- and then look into the deep well which is close by here. I will tell you the namesof the two flowers which you wished to pull up; and you will see the whole future of the human beings they represent, and what you were about to frustrate and destroy."Then she looked into the well; and it was a glorious sight tobehold how one of them became a blessing to the world, and how much happiness and joy it spread around. But she saw that the life of theother was full of care and poverty, misery and woe."Both are the will of God," said Death."Which is the unhappy flower, and which is the blessed one?" she said."That I may not tell you," said Death; "but thus far you maylearn, that one of the two flowers represents your own child. It wasthe fate of your child that you saw,- the future of your own child."Then the mother screamed aloud with terror, "Which of them belongs to my child? Tell me that. Deliver the unhappy child. Release itfrom so much misery. Rather take it away. Take it to the kingdom of God. Forget my tears and my entreaties; forget all that I have said or done.""I do not understand you," said Death. "Will you have your childback? or shall I carry him away to a place that you do not know?"Then the mother wrung her hands, fell on her knees, and prayed to God, "Grant not my prayers, when they are contrary to Thy will, which at all times must be the best. Oh, hear them not;" and her head sank on her bosom.Then Death carried away her child to the unknown land.THE END.。

911事件英语作文篇一：关于9.11恐怖袭击的英语演讲短文中英文对照大约一个月前，美国总统奥巴马前往纽约，向9/11恐怖袭击的受害者致敬。

几天前，美军在巴基斯坦打死了基地组织头目本.拉登。

奥巴马在被摧毁的世界贸易中心大厦遗址献花环，并会见2001年基地组织袭击遇难者的亲属。

今年是针对美国的911袭击十周年。

这无疑是一个重要的新闻。

而之后，也门的基地组织领袖瓦锡什警告将向美国发动更多袭击，瓦锡什在网上公布的声明中对美国人说，拉登死亡后，“圣战的光芒更加耀眼”，“即将发生的事更加伟大，对美国人来说也更糟糕”。

我的观点，和平发展是当今世界的主题，我们应热爱和平，呼吁和平，打击恐怖主义，去创造一个美好的未来。

无疑，本拉登要为他所奉行的理念和因他而起的死亡和破坏负责。

但是更严重的问题还在现在正在进行的斗争中。

现在，谁将控制基地组织？对于基地组织来说，不论以何种目的，都不应该以无辜人的性命作为谈判的砝码。

唯一的希望是那些真正学习、了解并坚守自己的信仰的穆斯林能最终说服他们的兄弟姐妹不再用暴力解决问题。

我希望发达国家和中东稍微有一点和平。

About a month ago ,U.S. President Barack Obama traveled to New York to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, days after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. Mr. Obama was laid a wreath at the site of the destroyed World Trade Center buildings and met with relatives of those killed in the 2001 al-Qaida attacks.This year is the tenth anniversary of the attacks against the United States on September eleventh, two thousand one. This is undoubtedly an important and relaxing news.And then the leader of al-Qaida in Yemen is warning the United States of more attacks.In a statement posted on the Internet, Nasser al-Wahishi tells Americans that the “((holy war)) is brighterfollowing bin Laden's death and that "what is coming is greater and worse."In my opinion, Peace and development should be the topic of today's world, we should love peace,and call for peace, fight against terrorism, to gain a better future.There is no doubt that Osama bin Laden had to answer for the ideology he espoused and the death and destruction he reveledin. But serious questions remain in this ongoing fight. So now who, if anyone, will take control of al-Qaida?For al-qaida , regardless of what purpose should not take innocent people's lives as a negotiation of weights. The only hope is that Muslims who truly study, understand, and live their faith will eventually convince their brothers and sisters to give up on violence as a solution. ...I sure hope Developed countries are just a little closer to peace with the middle east.篇二：911英文写作Looking back and ahead, America remembers 9/11NEW YORK —Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago.In New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, across the United States and the world, people carried out rituals now as familiar as they are heartbreaking: American flags unfurled at the new World Trade Center tower and the Eiffel Tower, and tears shed at the base of the Pentagon and a base in Iraq.President Barack Obama quoted the Bible and spoke of finding strength in fear. George W. Bush, still new to the presidency that day, invoked the national sacrifice of the Civil War. Vice President JoeBiden said hope must grow from tragedy.And Jessica Rhodes talked about her niece, Kathryn L. LaBorie, the lead flight attendant on the plane that hit the south tower. She remembered a radiant smile and infinite compassion, and suggested that now, 10 years on, it is time to turn a corner. "Although she may not ever be found, she will never ever be lost to her family and her friends,Rhodes said after she read a segment of the list of the dead at ground zero. "Today we honor her by letting go of the sadness over losing her and embracing the joy of having known her."It was the 10th time the nation has paused to remember a defining day. In doing so, it closed a decade that produced two wars, deep changes in national security, shifts in everyday life —and, months before it ended, the death at American hands of the elusive terrorist who masterminded the attack."These past 10 years tell a story of resilience,Obama said at a memorial concert at the Kennedy Center after he visited all three attack sites."It will be said of us that we kept that faith; that we took a painful blow, and emerged stronger,he said.The anniversary took place under heightened security. In New York and Washington especially, authorities were on alert. Ahead ofthe anniversary, the federal governmentwarned those cities of a tip about a possible car-bomb plot. Police searched trucks in New York, and streets near the trade center were blocked. To walk within blocks of the site, people had to go through checkpoints.The names of the fallen —2,983 of them, including all the victims from the three Sept. 11 attack sites and six people who died when terrorists set off a truck bomb under the towers in 1993 —echoed across a place utterly transformed.In the exact footprints of the two towers was a stately memorial, two great, weeping waterfalls, unveiled for the first time and, at least on the first day, open only to the relatives of the victims. Around the square perimeter of each were bronze parapets, etched with names.Some of the relatives were dressed in funereal suits and others in fire department T-shirts. They traced the names with pencils and paper, and some left pictures or flowers, fitting the stems into the recessed lettering.At the south tower pool, an acre in area and 30 feet deep, Mary Dwyer, of Brooklyn, remembered her sister, Lucy Fishman, who worked for Aon Corp., an insurance company that occupied seven floors near the very top."It's the closest I'll ever get to her again,she said. One Sept. 11 relative pronounced the memorial breathtaking. An underground section and a museum won't open until next year, but for many of the families, the names were enough."It breaks me up,said David Martinez, who watched the attacks happen from his office in Manhattan, and later learned that he had lost a cousin and a brother, one in each tower.At memorial services, people talked of grief and loss and war and justice. But they also talked of moving forward."Every year it becomes more significant,Barbara Gorman said at a service for the Port Authority dead, which included 37 police officers, one of them her husband, Thomas. "My kids are 25, 21, 18. They understand now. It's not so much a tragedy anymore as history, the history of our country."In the decade between then and now, children have grown. The second-graders who were with Bush on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, will graduate high school next spring.And children who were in the cradle or the womb on that day are old enough to read names at the anniversary, old enough to bear the full burden of their grief."You will always be my hero,Patricia Smith, 12, said of her mother.Nicholas Gorki remembered his father, "who I never met because I was in my mother's belly. I love you, Father. You gave me the gift of life, and I wish you could be here to enjoy it with me."Alex Zangrilli said: "Dad, I wish you were here with me to give me advice, to be on the sidelines when I play sports like all the other dads. ... I wish we had more time together."Madeline Hoffman smiled as she said to her father: "Everyone always tells me I look and act just like you.And Caitlin Roy, whose father was a firefighter, said: "I want to thank you for the nine years you spent as my dad. They were short but not without their benefits. We're taken care of now. We're happy."Obama, standing behind bulletproof glass and in front of the white oak trees of the memorial, read a Bible passage after a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., when the first jetliner slammed into the north tower 10 years ago.The president, quoting Psalm 46, invoked the presence of God as an inspiration to endure: "Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."Obama and Bush, joined by their wives, walked up to one of thepools and put their hands to some of the names. Bush later read from a letter that President Abraham Lincoln wrote to a mother believed to have lost five sons in the Civil War: "I pray that our heavenly father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement."In a ceremony at the Pentagon, Biden paid tribute to "the 9/11 generation of warriors."Never before in our history has America asked so much over such a sustained period of an all-volunteer force,he said. "So I can say without fear of contradiction or being accused of exaggeration, the 9/11 generation ranks among the greatest our nation has ever produced, and it was born —it was born —it was born right here on 9/11."Defense Secretary Leon Panetta paid tribute to 6,200 members of the U.S. military who have died in the Iraq and Afghan wars. One hundred eighty-four people died at the Pentagon.In Shanksville, Pa., a choir sang at the Flight 93 National Memorial, and a crowd of 5,000 listened to a reading of the names of 40 passengers and crew killed aboard the fourth jetliner hijacked that day a decade ago. Obama and his wife traveled to the Pennsylvania town after their visit to New York and placed a wreath at the memorial. During the president's visit, members of the crowd chanted, "USA! USA!One man called out: "Thanks forgetting bin Laden!It was the first anniversary observance since al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in May.In a brief scare, two military aircraft escorted a New York-bound American Airlines flight from Los Angeles. Three passengers made repeated trips to the bathroom and some people thought they were using hand signals to communicate, but the men werecleared and sent on their way, said a law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official said earlier reports that the men had locked themselves in the bathroom were incorrect.Fighter jets also shadowed a Denver-to-Detroit Frontier Airlines flight after the crew reported that two people were spending an unusual amount of time in the bathroom. The FBI said a search of the plane turned up nothing and three passengers were questioned and released."Due to the anniversary of Sept. 11, all precautions were taken, and any slightinconsistency was taken seriously,said Sandra Berchtold, an FBI spokeswoman in Detroit.For the most part, in New York, away from the trade center, it was a pleasantSeptember Sunday. People had brunch outdoors. Bicycles crowded the paths along the Hudson River. Families strolled around. Sailboats caught a river breeze and drifted past the dock where emergency vessels evacuated trade center survivors.Elsewhere in the nation, it was a day not to bring life to a stop, as it was 10 years ago, but to pause and reflect.Outside FedEx Field in Landover, Md., fans got ready for the first Sunday of the NFL season, the Redskins and Giants, Washington and New York. There was extra security at the stadium. Scott Millar, a Redskins season ticket-holder, used the logic of post-Sept. 11 America in deciding to go to the game."You've got to trust the security. You've got to trust the people who are here to protect you,he said.
