『貳』 英語故事短文
One day a visitor from the city came to a small rural area to drive around the country roads, see how the farms looked, and perhaps to see how farmers earned their living. The city man saw a farmer in his yard, holding a pig up in his hands, and lifting it so that the pig could eat apples from an apple tree. The city man said to the farmer," I see that your pig likes apples, but isn"t that quite a waste of time?" The farmer replied," What"s time to a pig?"
一天，有一個城市裡的遊客來到一個小鄉村，在鄉間路上開著車，想看看農庄是什麼樣子，也想看看農夫怎樣種田過日子。這位城裡人看見一位農夫在宅後的草地上，手中抱著一頭豬，並把它舉得高高的，好讓它能夠吃到樹上的蘋果。城裡人對農夫說，"我看你的豬挺喜歡吃蘋果的，但是，這不是很浪費時間嗎?"那位農夫回答說，"時間對豬有什麼意義?"

三條靈魂
三條靈魂來到上帝面前，異口同聲地說：「我死得很冤，應該上天堂！」上帝：「我只讓最冤的一個上天堂，先說你們是怎麼死的。」
甲：「我是清潔工。一天，我在某棟又老又低還沒防盜網的老樓樓頂掃地，不小心摔了下去。我抓住一根下水管，誰知下水管不知被哪個混蛋推倒了。因為樓矮，我沒摔死。結果上面掉下一個冰箱把我砸死了。」
乙：「我到別人老婆家去偷情，結果她老公回家了，我躲到了冰箱里。結果冰箱好象從那個沒有防盜網的窗戶掉下去了。因為有冰箱保護，我沒死。我剛一出來，上面掉下一個人把我砸死了。」
丙：「我回家時，從家裡的窗戶看見我老婆和別的男人在一起。我回家後很生氣，把下水管都推倒了，把冰箱都扔了，還和老婆大吵大鬧。結果我不小心從窗戶掉下去，頭撞到別人的頭死了。」

『肆』 適合初中生閱讀的英語故事小短文
Bertrand Russell
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love ,the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it , next, because it relieves loneliness-- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world , into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at last -- I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much I have achieved.
Love and knowlidge , so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of lonelines, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
我為什麼活著
羅素
三股簡單而非凡強烈的激情一直控制著我的一生：對愛的渴望，對知識的追求和對人類苦難不堪忍受的憐憫。這三股激情，象陣陣巨風，把我在痛苦的海洋的路途中吹得任意東西，變動無常，直吹到了絕望的邊緣。
我尋求愛，首先是因為它帶來了欣喜若狂之情——欣喜若狂使人如此心醉神迷，我常常願意犧牲我的全部餘生來換取幾小時這樣的歡樂。我尋求愛，其次是因為它能解除寂寞——那種可怕的寂寞，如同一個人毛發悚然地從這世界的邊緣探望令人戰栗的死氣沉沉的無底深淵。我尋求愛，最後是因為在愛的結合中我看到了聖徒們和詩人們所想像的預言中的天堂景象的神秘雛型。這就是我所尋求的東西，雖然它也許似乎是人生所難以得到的美好事物，但這就是——最後——我終於找到的東西。
我懷著同樣的激情尋求知識。我希望理解人們的心。我希望知道星星為什麼發光。我力圖領悟畢達哥拉斯的才能，他的才能使數字支配著不斷變動的事物。在這方面，我只達到了一小部分，並不很多。
愛和知識，盡其可能，遠遠地把人引向九天之上。倡憐憫總是把我帶回到地面上來。痛苦的呼號的回聲在我心裡回盪。受飢挨餓的兒童，在壓迫者折磨下受苦受難的人們，無依無靠而成為自己子女嫌惡的負擔的老人，以及整個孤苦寂寞的世界，窮困與痛苦都在嘲弄著人生，使人們不能過應有的美好生活。我渴望減輕災難禍害，但是我力不從心，我自己也在受苦。
這就是我的一生。我覺得我的一生過得很值得。如果我還有機會的話，我將樂意再度過這樣的一生。

Harry: Sandra, I decide to go to the mountains. Goodbye !
仙度拉：哈利！這很危險你不要去啦！
Sandra: Harry! This is very dangerous!
哈利：沒關系！總是要有人出來幫大家，因為檳榔樹的涵水量並不高，而且根部無法抓土，雖然賣檳榔賺比較多錢，但是如果全部的人都種檳榔的話，一定會發生土石流，村人會有生命危險的。
Harry: It doesn't matter! We must help ourselves. Selling betel nuts can earn more money but the roots are unable to catch the soil. Besides betel nut trees cannot conserve much water. If all the villagers plant it, it is sure to happen mudslide and people will have life danger.

仙度拉：其實集集的寶藏就是這些老樹。
Sandra: In fact, the treasureof Ji-Ji are these old trees.
威廉：為什麼？
William: Why?
哈利：知識就是力量啊！因為許多動物及植物在老樹生活或進出，這些老樹就像我們的好
朋友，除了讓我們遮陽避雨外，樹葉可以當有機肥料，且大樹的涵水量高，可以涵
養水源，而且根部抓土深，可以避免土石流，所以集集的寶藏就是這些樟樹木，樹
木是守護集集的力量，我們應該保護它才對。
Harry: Knowledge is the power! Because the animals and plants live or pass in and out on the old trees, these old trees are just like our good friends. Besides, the trees let us sunshade and take shelter from rain and their leaves can act as the organic fertilizer. Moreover, big trees can contain lots of water and conserve the source of water. They also catch the soil deeply so they can prevent from mudslide. So the treasure of Ji-Ji are these camphor trees. They are the patron saints of Ji-Ji and we should protect them.
巫師：我錯了！原來我這麼笨，不曉得樹木對我們的貢獻，請給再我一次機會，我願意當
森林志工，保護樹木。
Witch: I am wrong! I am so stupid! Now I know that these trees are so important for us. Please give me one more chance, I would like to act as the forest annals worker to protect them.

『柒』 英語故事短文
很久以前，有一個窮人，他的原名叫什麼已經不記得了。他個頭很矮，臉上皺皺巴巴的，所以朋友們管他叫醋溜先生。他的太太也是又矮又老，他們住在一塊小荒田後邊的小屋裡。
「約翰，」醋溜太太說道，「你到城裡去買一頭奶牛吧。我用擠出的牛奶做黃油，以後我們就衣食不愁了。」
「好主意，」醋溜先生說，於是他出發進城，他的太太在路邊等候他。
醋溜先生在城裡走啊走，四處找牛。過了一會兒，一個農夫拉著一頭非常漂亮而肥壯的奶牛走了過來。
「哦，如果那頭牛是我的，我就是世界上最幸福的人了！」
「這可是頭很好的牛，」農夫說。
「啊，」醋溜先生說，「我出五十塊金幣的價買它。」
農夫微笑著伸手接錢，「你把它帶走吧，」他說，「我就喜歡成人之美，朋友！」
醋溜先生抓住牛繩，拉著它在街上走啊走。「我是全世界最幸運的人了，」他說，「瞧瞧大家看著我和牛的眼神！」
可是在街的另一頭，他見到一個吹風笛的人。他停下腳步聆聽，笛聲曼妙。
「哦，這是我聽過的最動聽的音樂了，」他說，「瞧瞧有這么多孩子圍著那人，塞錢給他！如果我有風笛的話，就是世界上最幸福的人了！！」
「我可以賣給你呀，」風笛手說道。
「是嗎？可是我沒有錢了，我拿這頭牛和你換吧。」
「拿去吧，」風笛手答道，「我最喜歡成人之美了。」
於是醋溜先生拿過了風笛，風笛手牽走了奶牛。
「現在我們可有音樂聽了，」醋溜先生說，但是他花了老大的勁，還是吹不出什麼調來。風笛只發出吱吱的怪聲。孩子們非但沒給他錢，還對他百般嘲笑。
天冷極了，為了吹風笛，醋溜先生的手指都凍僵了。他真希望自己沒把牛給換走。
他開始往家走的時候，遇到一個人，那人戴著暖暖的手套。「哦，如果那副漂亮手套是我的，」他說，「那我就是世界上最幸福的人了。」
「你出多少錢買？」那人問道。
「噢，我沒錢了，可我用風笛和你換吧，」醋溜先生答道。
「這樣的話，」那人說，「你就拿去吧，我就喜歡成人之美。」
醋溜先生把風笛給了那人，拿過手套戴在凍僵的手指頭上。「我多幸運啊，」他邊往家走邊說道。他的手很快就暖起來了，可是道路坑坑窪窪的，走得很艱難。走到一個陡坡下的時候，他累極了。「我怎麼才能爬上去呢？」他說。這時候，他看到一個人從另一邊走了過來。那人手裡握著一根棍，用做爬坡的杖子。
「朋友，」醋溜先生說道，「如果我能有你那根杖子來爬坡，我就是這世界上最幸福的人了！」
「你出多少錢來買？」那人問道。
「啊，我沒錢了，可我願把這副暖和的手套給你，」醋溜先生說。
「這樣的話，」那人說道，「你就拿去好了，因為我最喜歡成人之美。」
醋溜先生的手早暖和過來了，於是他拿手套跟那人換了根上坡用的粗杖。「我多幸運啊！」他一邊費勁地上坡一邊說道。
到了山頂，他停下來休憩。可正當他想著一整天的好運時，他聽到有誰在叫著自己的名字。他抬起頭，只看到樹枝上坐著只綠鸚鵡。
「醋溜先生，醋溜先生，」鸚鵡喊道。
「怎麼了？」醋溜先生問。
「你是傻瓜，你是傻瓜！」鳥兒答道，「你出門找錢，找到了，卻拿錢買牛，用牛換了風笛，用風笛換了手套，又用手套去換根能在路邊弄到的棍子。呵呵呵，你是傻瓜！你是傻瓜！」
這話讓醋溜先生生氣極了。他用盡力氣拿棍子朝鳥兒擲去。可鳥兒只回了句：「你是傻瓜！你是傻瓜！」而棍子又卡在樹枝上，他夠不著。
醋溜先生慢慢地向前走著，他腦子里亂騰騰的。他的太太正站在路邊呢，一見到他，她就喊起來：「奶牛呢？奶牛呢？」
「唔，我可不知道奶牛到哪去了，」醋溜先生說道。接著他把事情完完整整地告訴了她。
Mr. Vinegar and His Fortune
Retold by James Baldwin
A long time go, there lived a poor man whose real name has been forgotten. He was little and old and his face was 1)wrinkled, and that was why his friends called him Mr. Vinegar. His wife was also little and old, and they lived in a little old 2)cottage at the back of a little old field.
"John," said Mrs. Vinegar, "you must go to town and buy a cow. I will milk her and 3)churn butter and we shall never want for anything."
"That is a good plan," said Mr. Vinegar, so he started off to town while his wife waited by the roadside.
Mr. Vinegar walked up and down the street of the town looking for a cow. After a time, a farmer came that way, leading one that was very pretty and fat.
"Oh, if I only had that cow," said Mr. Vinegar, "I would be the happiest man in the world!"
"She's a very good cow," said the farmer.
"Well," said Mr. Vinegar, "I'll give you these 50 gold pieces for her."
The farmer smiled and held out his hand for the money, "You may have her," he said, "I always like to 4)oblige, my friends!"
Mr. Vinegar took hold of the cow's halter and led her up and down the street. "I am the luckiest man in the world," he said, "for only see how all the people are looking at me and my cow!"
But at one end of the street, he met a man playing 5)bagpipes. He stopped and listened -- Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dee.
"Oh, that is the sweetest music I ever heard," he said, "and just see how all the children crowd around the man and give him pennies! If I only had those bagpipes, I would be the happiest man in the world!!"
"I'll sell them to you," said the 6)piper.
"Will you? Well then, since I have no money, I will give you this cow for them."
"You may have them," answered the piper, "I always like to oblige a friend."
Mr. Vinegar took the bagpipes and the piper led the cow away.
"Now we will have some music," said Mr. Vinegar, but try as hard as he might, he could not play a tune. He could get nothing out of the bagpipes but "7)squeak, squeak". The children instead of giving him pennies laughed at him.
The day was chilly and in trying to play the pipes, his fingers grew very cold. He wished he had kept the cow.
He just started for home when he met a man who had warm gloves on his hands. "Oh, if I only had those pretty gloves," he said, "I would be the happiest man in the world."
"How much will you give for them?" asked the man.
"Oh, I have no money, but I will give you these bagpipes," answered Mr. Vinegar.
"Well," said the man, "you may have them for I always like to oblige a friend."
Mr. Vinegar gave him the bagpipes and drew the gloves on over his half frozen fingers. "How lucky I am," he said as he 8)trudged homeward. His hands were soon quite warm, but the road was rough and the walking hard. He was very tired when he came to the foot of the steep hill. "How shall I ever get to the top?" he said. Just then he met a man who was walking the other way. He had a stick in his hand which he used as a cane to help him along.
"My friend," said Mr. Vinegar, "if only I had that stick of yours to help me up this hill, I would be the happiest man in the world!"
"How much will you give me for it?" asked the man.
"Well, I have no money, but I will give you this pair of warm gloves," said Mr. Vinegar.
"Well," said the man, "you may have it for I always like to oblige a friend."
Mr. Vinegar's hands were now quite warm, so he gave the gloves to the man and took the 9)stout stick to help him along. "How lucky I am!'' he said as he 10)toiled upward.
At the top of the hill he stopped to rest. But as he was thinking of all his good luck that day, he heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw only a green parrot sitting in a tree.
"Mr. Vinegar, Mr. Vinegar," it cried.
"What now?" said Mr. Vinegar.
"You're a 11)nce, you're a nce!'' answered the bird, "you went to seek your fortune and you found it, then you gave it for a cow, and the cow for some bagpipes, and the bagpipes for some gloves, and the gloves for a stick which you might of cut by the roadside. He He He, you're a nce! You're a nce!''
This made Mr. Vinegar very angry. He threw the stick at the bird with all his might. But the bird only answered, "You're a nce! You're a nce!" And the stick 12)lodged in the tree where he could not get it again.
Mr. Vinegar went on slowly for he had many things to think about. His wife was standing by the roadside and as soon as she saw him, she cried out, "Where's the cow? Where's the cow?"
"Well, I just don't know where the cow is," said Mr. Vinegar. And then he told her the whole story.

第二個: Helping hands
A mother, wishing to encourage her son's progress at the piano, bought tickets to a performance by the great Polish pianist Ignace Paderewski. When the evening arrived, they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and eyed the majestic Steinway waiting on the stage. Soon the mother found a friend to talk to, and the boy slipped away.
At eight o'clock, the lights in the auditorium began to dim, the spotlights came on, and only then did they notice the boy - up on the piano bench, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." His mother gasped in shock and embarassment but, before she could retrieve her son, the master himself appeared on the stage and quickly moved to the keyboard.
He whispered gently to the boy, "Don't quit. Keep playing." Leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around the other side and improvised a delightful obligato. Together, the old master and the young novice held the crowd mesmerized with their blended and beautiful music.
In all our lives, we receive helping hands - some we notice, some we don't. Equally we ourselves have countless opportunites to provide helping hands - sometimes we would like our assistance to be noticed, sometimes we don't. Little of what we all achieve is without learning from others and without support from others and what we receive we should hand out.
就這些把~
