个少儿英语小故事
：千镜之屋
The House of 1000 Mirrors
Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the
House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place
and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs
to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears
lifted
high
and
his
tail
wagging
as
fast
as
it
could.
To
his
great
surprise,
he
found
himself
staring
at
1000
other
happy
little
dogs
with
their
tails
wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered
with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House,
he thought to himself,
visit it often.
In
this same
village, another
little
dog, who was
not quite as happy
as
the
first
one,
decided
to
visit
the
house.
He
slowly
climbed
the
stairs
and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000
unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was
horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he
thought to himself,
there again.
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do
you see in the faces of the people you meet?
很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，

我一定要经常来参观。
在这个村里还有另一只想参 观

他不及第一只小狗乐观，
他
慢吞 吞地爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看。一看到有
1000
只小狗不友好
地盯着他 ，他便开始冲他们狂吠，镜中的
1000
只小狗也冲着他狂吠，把他给吓
坏了，他在离 开时心想：
这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。

个少儿英语小故事
：守财奴
The Miser
守财奴
A
MISER
sold
all
that
he
had
and
bought
a
lump
of
gold,
which
he
buried
in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at
daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and
decided
to
watch
his
movements.
He
soon
discovered
the
secret
of
the
hidden
treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The
Miser,
on
his
next
visit,
found
the
hole
empty
and
began
to
tear
his
hair
and
to
make
loud
lamentations.
A
neighbor,
seeing
him
overcome
with
grief
and learning the cause, said,
stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying
there.
It
will
do
you
quite
the
same
service;
for
when
the
gold
was
there,
you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.
有个守财奴变卖了他所有的 家产，
换回了金块，
并秘密地埋在一个地方。
他
每天走去看
看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他
走后，挖出金块拿走了。
守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。
有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后，
说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金
子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿 一
块石头来，代替金块放在洞
里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样 与你拥有
真正的金块效
果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。”
这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。

to attack Qi.
公元

the state
of
Zhao
(

) to
ask
for
help, with a lot of valuable gifts.
齐王派淳于髡去赵国寻求帮助，于是他带着许多贵重的礼品去了赵国。

the

gladly
and
sent
a
hundred
thousand
troops to help Qi.
赵王见了礼物十分高兴，派了十万士兵去援助齐国。
The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got
the news.
那天晚上，楚王得到这消息，马上撤回了自己的军队。
The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chunyu Kun. He set a
banquet for celebration.
齐威王松了一口气，十分满意淳于髡的表现，并决定设宴为他庆功。
During the meal, the king asked Chunyu Kun,
drink before you're drunk, Sir?
在宴会上，齐威王问淳于髡：“先生你喝多少酒会醉
?
”
Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chunyu Kun
decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied,
drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred.
他幽默地回答说：“我有时喝一升酒就会醉，有时喝一百升酒才会醉。”

齐威王听了很奇怪。他问：
“你喝一升已经 醉了，怎么还会有喝一百升的道
理呢

”
Chunyu Kun then explained that he could drink different amounts of
wine under different conditions. He said,
you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once
joy reaches its height, then it's sorrow's turn. This is the rule for
everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite
direction when you exceed the limits.
