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,有一个城市里的游客来到一个小乡村,在乡间路上开着车,想看看农庄是什么样子,也想看看农夫怎样种田过日子。这位城里人看见一位农夫在宅后的草地上,手中抱着一头猪,并把它举得高高的,好让它能够吃到树上的苹果。城里人对农夫说,"我看你的猪挺喜欢吃苹果的,但是,这不是很浪费时间吗?"那位农夫回答说,"时间对猪有什么意义?"

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.
我为什么活着
罗素
三股简单而非凡强烈的激情一直控制着我的一生:对爱的渴望,对知识的追求和对人类苦难不堪忍受的怜悯。这三股激情,象阵阵巨风,把我在痛苦的海洋的路途中吹得任意东西,变动无常,直吹到了绝望的边缘。
我寻求爱,首先是因为它带来了欣喜若狂之情——欣喜若狂使人如此心醉神迷,我常常愿意牺牲我的全部余生来换取几小时这样的欢乐。我寻求爱,其次是因为它能解除寂寞——那种可怕的寂寞,如同一个人毛发悚然地从这世界的边缘探望令人战栗的死气沉沉的无底深渊。我寻求爱,最后是因为在爱的结合中我看到了圣徒们和诗人们所想象的预言中的天堂景象的神秘雏型。这就是我所寻求的东西,虽然它也许似乎是人生所难以得到的美好事物,但这就是——最后——我终于找到的东西。
我怀着同样的激情寻求知识。我希望理解人们的心。我希望知道星星为什么发光。我力图领悟毕达哥拉斯的才能,他的才能使数字支配着不断变动的事物。在这方面,我只达到了一小部分,并不很多。
爱和知识,尽其可能,远远地把人引向九天之上。倡怜悯总是把我带回到地面上来。痛苦的呼号的回声在我心里回荡。受饥挨饿的儿童,在压迫者折磨下受苦受难的人们,无依无靠而成为自己子女嫌恶的负担的老人,以及整个孤苦寂寞的世界,穷困与痛苦都在嘲弄着人生,使人们不能过应有的美好生活。我渴望减轻灾难祸害,但是我力不从心,我自己也在受苦。
这就是我的一生。我觉得我的一生过得很值得。如果我还有机会的话,我将乐意再度过这样的一生。

哈利:知识就是力量啊!因为许多动物及植物在老树生活或进出,这些老树就像我们的好
朋友,除了让我们遮阳避雨外,树叶可以当有机肥料,且大树的涵水量高,可以涵
养水源,而且根部抓土深,可以避免土石流,所以集集的宝藏就是这些樟树木,树
木是守护集集的力量,我们应该保护它才对。
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.
巫师:我错了!原来我这麼笨,不晓得树木对我们的贡献,请给再我一次机会,我愿意当
森林志工,保护树木。
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』 英语故事短文
很久以前,有一个穷人,他的原名叫什么已经不记得了。他个头很矮,脸上皱皱巴巴的,所以朋友们管他叫醋溜先生。他的太太也是又矮又老,他们住在一块小荒田后边的小屋里。
“约翰,”醋溜太太说道,“你到城里去买一头奶牛吧。我用挤出的牛奶做黄油,以后我们就衣食不愁了。”
“好主意,”醋溜先生说,于是他出发进城,他的太太在路边等候他。
醋溜先生在城里走啊走,四处找牛。过了一会儿,一个农夫拉着一头非常漂亮而肥壮的奶牛走了过来。
“哦,如果那头牛是我的,我就是世界上最幸福的人了!”
“这可是头很好的牛,”农夫说。
“啊,”醋溜先生说,“我出五十块金币的价买它。”
农夫微笑着伸手接钱,“你把它带走吧,”他说,“我就喜欢成人之美,朋友!”
醋溜先生抓住牛绳,拉着它在街上走啊走。“我是全世界最幸运的人了,”他说,“瞧瞧大家看着我和牛的眼神!”
可是在街的另一头,他见到一个吹风笛的人。他停下脚步聆听,笛声曼妙。
“哦,这是我听过的最动听的音乐了,”他说,“瞧瞧有这么多孩子围着那人,塞钱给他!如果我有风笛的话,就是世界上最幸福的人了!!”
“我可以卖给你呀,”风笛手说道。
“是吗?可是我没有钱了,我拿这头牛和你换吧。”
“拿去吧,”风笛手答道,“我最喜欢成人之美了。”
于是醋溜先生拿过了风笛,风笛手牵走了奶牛。
“现在我们可有音乐听了,”醋溜先生说,但是他花了老大的劲,还是吹不出什么调来。风笛只发出吱吱的怪声。孩子们非但没给他钱,还对他百般嘲笑。
天冷极了,为了吹风笛,醋溜先生的手指都冻僵了。他真希望自己没把牛给换走。
他开始往家走的时候,遇到一个人,那人戴着暖暖的手套。“哦,如果那副漂亮手套是我的,”他说,“那我就是世界上最幸福的人了。”
“你出多少钱买?”那人问道。
“噢,我没钱了,可我用风笛和你换吧,”醋溜先生答道。
“这样的话,”那人说,“你就拿去吧,我就喜欢成人之美。”
醋溜先生把风笛给了那人,拿过手套戴在冻僵的手指头上。“我多幸运啊,”他边往家走边说道。他的手很快就暖起来了,可是道路坑坑洼洼的,走得很艰难。走到一个陡坡下的时候,他累极了。“我怎么才能爬上去呢?”他说。这时候,他看到一个人从另一边走了过来。那人手里握着一根棍,用做爬坡的杖子。
“朋友,”醋溜先生说道,“如果我能有你那根杖子来爬坡,我就是这世界上最幸福的人了!”
“你出多少钱来买?”那人问道。
“啊,我没钱了,可我愿把这副暖和的手套给你,”醋溜先生说。
“这样的话,”那人说道,“你就拿去好了,因为我最喜欢成人之美。”
醋溜先生的手早暖和过来了,于是他拿手套跟那人换了根上坡用的粗杖。“我多幸运啊!”他一边费劲地上坡一边说道。
到了山顶,他停下来休憩。可正当他想着一整天的好运时,他听到有谁在叫着自己的名字。他抬起头,只看到树枝上坐着只绿鹦鹉。
“醋溜先生,醋溜先生,”鹦鹉喊道。
“怎么了?”醋溜先生问。
“你是傻瓜,你是傻瓜!”鸟儿答道,“你出门找钱,找到了,却拿钱买牛,用牛换了风笛,用风笛换了手套,又用手套去换根能在路边弄到的棍子。呵呵呵,你是傻瓜!你是傻瓜!”
这话让醋溜先生生气极了。他用尽力气拿棍子朝鸟儿掷去。可鸟儿只回了句:“你是傻瓜!你是傻瓜!”而棍子又卡在树枝上,他够不着。
醋溜先生慢慢地向前走着,他脑子里乱腾腾的。他的太太正站在路边呢,一见到他,她就喊起来:“奶牛呢?奶牛呢?”
“唔,我可不知道奶牛到哪去了,”醋溜先生说道。接着他把事情完完整整地告诉了她。
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.

第二个: 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.
就这些把~
