求几篇寓意深刻的英语小短文。（要有翻译。）~

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

A Child's Angel One day a child asked God,"How am I going to live on the earth?" God answered,"I choose an angel for you.She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.And you will feel your angel's love and be happy." "And," said the child,"how can I understand when people talk to me?I don't know their language." "That's easy," said God,"your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words.And your angel will teach you how to speak." The child looked up at God,saying,"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God smiled at the child,saying,"Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." The child said,"I heard on the earth there are bad men.Who will protect me?" God put his arm around the child,saying,"Your angel will protect you—even if it means death." The child,in a hurry,asked,"Oh,God,if I leave now,please tell me my angel's name!" God answered,"Your angel's name is 'MOMMY' !" 一天,一个小孩问上帝,“我在人间怎样生活呢?”上帝说,“我选中了一个天使给你.她将会等待你和照顾你.你将会感受到你的天使的爱,你会感到快乐.” “还有,”小孩又问了,“我不懂他们说的语言,当人们对我说话的时候我怎样才会理解呢?”“这很简单,”上帝说,“你的天使将教会你说最美丽和最甜蜜的词语,你的天使将教会你怎样说话.”小孩抬头看着上帝说,“我想和你说话的时候该怎么做呢?” 上帝微笑着对小孩说,“你的天使会把你的双手放在一起,然后教会你怎样祈祷.” 小孩说,“我听说人间有坏人,谁将会保护我呢?” 上帝把手放在小孩身上说,“你的天使将会保护你,即使那意味着她要冒生命的危险!” 小孩有点急促,说“上帝啊,如果我现在离开,请告诉我我的天使的名字!” 上帝回答说,“你的天使的名字是‘妈妈’!”

THE LION AND THE MOUSE

Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."

狮和鼠

一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去，将它从梦中吵醒。狮子生气地跳起来，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：「只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命，我将来一定会报答你的大恩。」狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了它，并大声说：「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。」

这里还有个更短的

THE WOLF AND THE CRANEA

Wolf, having a bone stuck in his throat, hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his throat, and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone, and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."

狼和鹳雀

一只狼喉咙鲠了一根骨头，便用很多钱去雇请一只鹳雀，将头伸进他的喉咙中，把那块骨头取出来。当鹳雀拔出那块骨头，向他索取约定的报酬，狼却呲牙咧齿地说：「怎么？允许你的头从一只狼的嘴巴和牙床中安全地伸出来，已经是莫大的报酬了。」为恶人效劳，不要希望得到报酬；要是能避免伤害，已经是万幸了。

2Love Your Life
热爱生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man\'s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town\'s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。 万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想

The life I desired
我所追求的生活

That must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silent,so infifferent,that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature,strong in me even in those days,that i felt in such an existence,the share of the great majority,something amiss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness,but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous,shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.

这一定是世间无数对夫妻的生活写照，这种生活模式给人一种天伦之美。它使人想起一条平静的溪流，蜿蜒畅游过绿茵的草场，浓荫遮蔽，最后注入烟波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太过平静，太过沉默，太过不动声色，你会突然感到莫名的不安。也许这只是我自己的一种怪诞想法，在那样的时代，这想法对我影响很深：我觉得这像大多数人一样的生活，似乎欠缺了一点儿什么。我承认这种生活有社会价值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的冲动却渴望一种更桀骜不驯的旅程．这样的安逸中好像有一种叫我惊惧不安的东西．我的心渴望一种更加惊险的生活。只要生活中还能有变迁———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁满布的海

很有寓意的英语小文章 WHICH DO YOU RUN？ There is a story about a man who was out in the wilderness deer hunting.On that particularday,he was walking along an old path.It was early evening and almost time to return to camp when suddenly there was a noise from the bushes nearby and a small animal appeared ,running straight for him.He looked down and saw a little brown rabbit, who was exhausted, trying to huddle down between his boots.The rabbit was trembling all over but would not leave the hunter. "How strange!" he thought."Wild rabbits are usually frightened by people;why would this one dare to come to me?" While the hunter was wondering over this, another animal also appeared.Bursting from the bushes and down the path and then noticed his prey,the rabbit,sitting at the man's feet, the weasel stood still,his mouth panting ,his eyes glowing red. The hunter now understood that here was a real life-and -death drama of the forest going on.Somehow the rabbit had sensed that this man was its only hope of safty.Therefore,it forgot its matural fear of man. The hunter did not disappoint the little rabbit.He raised his powerful gun and deliberately shot into the ground just underneath the weasel. The animal seemed to leap almost straight into the air a couple of feet and then ran at top speed back into the forest as fast as its legs could go. For a while,the little rabbit didn't move.It just sat there,huddled at the hunter's feet int the twilight while th talked softly to it. "Where didi he go,little one? I don't think he'll be bothering you for a while.Looks like you are safe for at least one more day." Soom the rabbit hopped away from its protector into the forest. How do you think of the story ? What will you do in life? 寓意小文章2 Kindness Author and lecturer,Leo Buscaglia,once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.The winner was a four-year-old boy whose next door neighbor was an old gentleman who had recently lost his wife.Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard,climbed onto his lap,and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor,the little boy said,"Nothing,I just helped him cry."

How Would You Like to Be REmembered When You Are Gone?
About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his dismay and horror, he read his name in the front page …"Dynamite Kind Dies.." This was cast in a square grey tinted box with a thick black line on the borders."

His first response was awesomely shocking. "Am I there or here? When he regained his composure after a while, his next thought was to actually find out what people said of him, what people thought of him.

The obituary news read as follows:

"He was the merchant of death. This man was the inventor of the dynamite. One most cruel invention that could kill people while it was being made, and even many more when it was used. A substance of mass killing, and a deadly weapon in the hands of those who wishes to create terror and rule the scene…. The story continued with several curses added to it.

He asked himself, "Is this how people view me?
Is this the way they will think of me?
Is this the way they will remember me?

He decided then and there that he would change the situation made a firm resolve to clear the stigma that was being associated with his name. From that day on he started working towards peace, and sure enough he left an indelible mark on this planet. He is remembered even this day as Alfred Noble. He gave his entire earnings to establish a foundation that would work for peace in the world, and today too it awards prizes for achievers all over the world for their unique contributions to the welfare of mankind. He lives on even today through this mission and the Noble prizes are awarded in his honour.

Just as Alfred Noble redefined his values, I believe all of us should step back and do the same taking a leaf out of this man's true story. What will be your legacy?

How would you like to be remembered?
Will you be spoken off well?
Will you be remembered with love and respect?
Will you be missed?

讲述改变和激励诺贝尔先生一生的一件小事，激励价值极高。。强烈推荐。。

YOUTH samuel Ullman 青春 一篇非常优美的散文，短小清丽，适合背诵。
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.

What I have lived for Bertrand Russell 我为何而生
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 great 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 knowledge, 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 burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this 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.
