英语小短文 篇一
The ray of the warm sunlight told us that it was spring. A lion was sleeping peacefully in the forest.
While the lion was fast asleep, a mouse went on top of the lion. The bold mouse played happily on top of the lion. Yuppie! This is really fun. The mouse ran around thumping and stomping here and there.
The lion was not able to sleep with all the racket. The lion knew that there was someone on top of him. So, the lion made a surprise attack and rolled on the ground.
And the mouse fell over. When the lion saw the mouse he was relieved and said, Whew! It was only a mouse.
经典短文
However, far away a fox had seen the scene. The fox laughed mockingly to the lion and said, You're as big as a mountain and you're afraid of the mouse. You're a coward! The fox kept making fun of the Lion.
Finally the lion spoke, I wasn't afraid of the mouse. I was only shocked to find a bold enough animal not afraid to run around on top of a lion. When the fox heard this he quietly left.
英语小短文 篇二
Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.
They say they’d like to do this or that, but then they offer all the excuses in the world for why they can’t do whatever it is. No matter what the excuses are, the only thing that is usually limiting them is their own self-perception.
If I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned that a person —any person —may do anything they set their mind on doing. The things you need are willingness to work for what you want, patience to learn what you need to know and, most important of all, belief in yourself. You only need a seed, and then your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.
If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you’re not smart enough, then take the time to learn what you need to know, and then your self-perception will change.
If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you never finish anything you start, then go and finish something and change your self- perception.
If your self-perception is that you’re too lazy, too busy, too unworthy, too unfocused, too depressed, or too dependent on others to acplish great things, then you’re right. You are that because you believe you are, but in fact, you can change that! Life is change, and the past doesn’t equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions, and you will change your future. Whether you thi
nk you can or you can’t, you’re right. You are what you think.
Think about that the next time you need an excuse.
翻译：思想与行动
有些人的一生都在借口中度过。
他们总是说喜欢这喜欢那，只是随之给出各种理由来解释他为什么没能去做。但无论是什么借口，唯一能限制他们行为的通常只是他们的自我认知。
如果说我确实明白了一些事情，那就是了解了一个人，任何一个人，几乎可以做成任何事情，只要他们下决心去做。你需要的只是为梦想而奋斗的意愿、为学习必要知识的耐心，但是最重要的是你的自信。你只需播下一粒梦想的种子，你的信念将会随着你一起成长。
如果你自认为你不能完成某件事情常常是因为半途而废，那么就去做完它，将这种自我认
知彻底改变。
如果你自认为是因太懒惰、太忙、太卑微、太不专心、太消沉、太依赖别人而不能做成大事，那么你是对的。英语短文你确实是这样，因为你自己就是这样认为的。但事实上你能够改变。生活无时无刻不在变化，过去不等于未来。你的现在正是你过去所想所做的必然结果。改变你的信念和行动，成就你的将来。如果你认为你能或不能做什么，那么你是对的，因为正是你的思想造就了你。
下次你什么借口的时候，仔细思量一番。
英语小短文 篇三
On the surface, Chinatown is prosperous - a model slum, some have called it - with the lowest crime rate, highest employment and least juvenile delinquency of any city district. Walk through its crowded streets at any time of day, and every shop is doing a brisk and businesslike trade: restaurant after restaurant is booming; there are storefront displays of s
hiny squids, clawing crabs and clambering lobster; and street markets offer overflowing piles of exotic green vegetables, garlic and ginger root. Chinatown has the feel of a land of plenty, and the reason why lies with the Chinese themselves: even here, in the very core of downtown Manhattan, they have been careful to preserve their own way of dealing with things, preferring to keep affairs close to the bond of the family and allowing few intrusions into a still-insular culture. There have been several concessions to Westerners - storefront signs now offer English translations, and Haagen Dazs and Baskin Robbins ice-cream stores have opened on lower Mott Street - but they can't help but seem
incongruous. The one time of the year when Chinatown bursts open is during the Chinese New Year festival, held each year on the first full moon after
January 19, when a giant dragon runs down Mott Street to the acpaniment of firecrackers, and the gutters run with ceremonial dyes.
Beneath the neighborhood's blithely prosperous facade, however, there is a darker underbelly. Sharp practices continue to flourish, with traditional
extortion and protection rackets still in business. Non-union sweatshops - their assembly lines grinding from early morning to late into the evening - are still visited by the US Department of Labor, who e to investigate workers' testimonies of being paid below minimum wage for seventy-plus-hour work weeks. Living conditions are abysmal for the poorer Chinese - mostly recent immigrants and the elderly - who reside in small rooms in overcrowded
