⑴ 三十篇英語小短文,帶翻譯的
One day,Xiao Ming was walking his dog in the park.He found a 10-yuan note on the grass.He wanted to get it.Just before he stepped on the grass, he saw a notice reading:"Keep off the grass!Disobey penal sum 10 yuan."
He stealthily(偷偷地)stepped on the grass and picked up the money.Just as he was walking away, a guard stopped him.As a result, he gave back the money and was fined(罰款)for stepped on the grass.

由於天氣越來越熱,我們全家一起到海邊度假,上星期我們就到了廈門,那是一個很美麗的城市,有藍天大海,廈門是一個島嶼離台灣島很近.從日光岩上面還可以看到金門島.

My mother<人教英語初一翻譯法>
My mother is xx.She is of medium build and is of medium height(這是第七單元的最新語法).She isn't very good-looking(用於修飾人,而beautiful大用於修飾物或動物),but I think she is really very pretty(這不僅是漂亮,還有在心裡的善良等好性情,也有聰明的意思).She loves laughing(love to do sth.一般表示一段時間類喜歡做的事),and she also hopes I have the same bright smile.She is ordinary,(common雖普遍,但英語中有粗俗的意思,容易引起異議)she's a teacher.She teaches me to be strong and teaches me how to be a true man from my yonth(這里指青年時代).She let me free so I have a lovely life,and I remember I had a lovely childhood,too.She is always very good-tempered.
I am thinkful to her for everything. I will never forget her.
When she is old,I'll take good care of her.
風和太陽(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, 「Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.」
「We will see about that,」 said the sun. 「I will let you try first.」
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
「I give up,」 said the wind at last. 「I cannot get his cloak off.」 Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(有一天風跟太陽說: 「看看那個沿著路上走的人.我可以比你快讓他把披風脫下來.)
(「我們等著看吧,」太陽說, 「我讓你先試.)
(因此風嘗試讓那個人把披風脫下來.他用力地吹,可是那個人把披風拉得更緊.)
(「我放棄了,」風最後說, 「我無法讓他把披風脫下來.」然後由太陽試試看.他盡可能地曬他.不久,那個人很熱就把披風脫下來了.)
第一篇:THE NEWSPAPER 報 紙
Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances.
現今報紙擁有極大的價值,人人都應該看它。它每天提供我們各種類類的消息。它告訴我們世界政治局勢。如果我們養成看報的習慣,我們就能得到足夠的知識來因應我們的環境。學生雖然每天須做功課,但他們至少應該勻出一兩個小時來看報。哪些,他們不但能增加知識而且也能趕上時代。總而言之,看報對學生很有益處。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第二篇:MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活
Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.
I get up at six o』clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o』clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o』clock.
Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.
雖然我的日常生活十分單調,但我卻竭力設法去適應它。為什麼?因為我打算做一個好學生,希望將來為國家服務。
我每天六點起床、洗臉刷牙後,就開始復習功課,七點鍾我就去上學。
放學後,我就回家了。我們通常在七點鍾吃晚餐,之後我就開始做家庭作業,希望在睡覺前把它做完。
第三篇:A MODEL STUDENT 模範學生
Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.
However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral ecation. If his conct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.
你價意被稱為壞學生嗎?當然不。就我所知,每個人都打算做模範學生。
然而,做模範學生卻不容易。第一,他必須盡力獲得知識(求知)。一個沒有足夠知識的人是不會成功的。第二,他必須記住促進健康。只有強壯的人才能做大事。第三,他應該接受道德教育。如果他品行不好,沒有人會考慮和他交朋友的。
第四篇:HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何獲得快樂
There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.
First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.
Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.
無疑的快樂是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒有它,人生將是空虛的而且毫無意義的。如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂,你須注意下面兩點。
健康是快樂的要訣。唯有身體強壯的人才能享受人生的樂趣。
快樂在於知足。一個不滿於現狀的人終是處在痛苦之中。
第五篇:BOOKS 書籍
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
如眾所周知,書籍教我們學習人生,真理,科學以及其它許多有用的東西。它們增加我們的知識,擴大我們的心胸並加強我們的品格。換句話說,它們是我們的良師益友。這是為什麼我們的父母終是鼓勵我們要多讀書的理由。
讀書是一好事,但我們必須多加註意書的選擇。不錯,我們能從好書中獲得益處。然而,壞書卻對我們有害無益。
第六篇:A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 鄉村游記
One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him.
While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees. The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful).
When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.
有一個星期日,我母親叫我帶小弟弟去鄉村游歷。她吩咐我要好好照料他。
當我們沿著道路行走的時候,太陽燦爛地照耀著,微風輕輕地吹著。我們看見美麗的花兒對我們微笑著,並聽見鳥兒在樹上唱著悅耳的歌曲,風景實十分美麗。
當我們感覺到疲倦的時候,我們就回家了。我們看見母樣正在門口等候我們。
第七篇:BE PATRIOTIC 要愛國
It is the ty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.
要使國家富強是每個公民的責任。為了達到此目的,必須愛國。我認為這是一條不易的定理。
一個學生如何才能愛國呢?我發覺答復很簡單明了。他必須用功讀書並積儲知識以便將來服務國家。如果每個學生能按照我所說的去做,國家一定會富強。
第八篇:THE VALUE OF TIME 愛惜時光
An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.
Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.
英國有句諺語說,時間就是金錢。我認為這是不對的。為什麼?因為我們大家都知道我們能夠用工作賺錢,但無論如何卻無法把時間爭取回來。基於此種理由,我們可以說時間比錢錢更寶貴。
許多人不知愛惜時光。這確實是可惜的。我們必須記住浪費時間等於浪費生命。
第九篇:WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ENGLISH 為什麼我們要學英文
If you want to ask me why we should study English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.
In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.
In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.
如果你要問我們為什麼我們要學英文。我的答復很簡單明了。現在讓我來把我的理由一一列舉在下面:
英文已成為一種國際語言。如果你通曉它,你可以環游世界不會被人誤解。
大多數有價值的書籍,報紙和雜志都是用英文寫的。如果你希望獲得知識,你必須學習英文。
第十篇:MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日
Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.
The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.
Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say 「Good-bye」 to one another.
昨天是我生日,所以有幾位我的同班同學送我禮。母親給我准備一個茶會。我邀請他們都前來參加。
茶會下午六點半開始。有冷飲和點心。我們又吃又談又笑。我們覺得是世界上最快樂的人。 時間過得很快。轉瞬間,牆上的鍾敲九點了。我們不得不互道再見。

⑺ 關於circle的一篇英文閱讀
Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was not round, it could only roll very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them was fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit well. It put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with noting missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It began to know how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
Sometimes we are not perfect when we lost something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never has hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone is loving him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn』t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us, and then we can always live a wonderful live.

⑼ 三篇英語短文
My first Job
Before I started at university,I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant.At the night before my first day.I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result,I got up late in the morning.I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant.
In a great hurry,I didn't hear clearly the head waiter's instruction that we should go into the kitchen through one door and out from the other.So when I took two plates of eggs and bacon and an orange juice out to the restaurant,I went straight towards the wrong door and collided with another waiter coming in!
Worst of all was that I wore a pair of smart shoes but with high heels! A few hours later I was in agony yet had no time to change them. By the time we finished serving dinner at about 10:30 I was completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I learnt something through my experience.
Birth control
Since the Chinese Government singled out family planning as one of the basic state policies in 1978,the country has adopted various measures and achieved great success in birth control.The total birth rate has been decreasing graally.
However,at present China's population is still growing very rapidly.It is reported that every year the population of this country increases by an extra 15 million and China is encountering a birth peak ring the 1990s.It is abvious that China's economic development and improvement of people's living standards have been and will be greatly affected by the population.
Therefore,to control population growth more strictly is clearly essential to the country's reforms and economic development.We should restress the importance of birth control and call on the whole nation to make more effective actions
Advertisements
Advertisements are getting their way into people's lives. People depend on advertisers in their daily lives because they are cusumers. The advertisers are always manufacturers. Sometimes they are salesmen. Their merchandise needs advertising. Thus nearly every proct is advertised.To some extent, good dvertising means success while bad advertising can means failure.
There are many ways to advertise and 'ads' come in different forms. Newspaper carry advertisements. Some procts are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience.Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big instry now and many agencies are set up to furnish a variety of services for it.
However, advertising is not always truthful.A proct is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benifits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth.The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised procts and they haven't always been satisfied.

因為不知道難度要多大,所以發了幾篇不同難度的。
高中篇目:
Adolescence
青春期
First listen and then answer the following question.
聽錄音,然後回答以下問題。
What do adolescents respect in parents?
Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about the friends' parents. Such loss of dignity and descent into childish behaviour on the part to their parents about the place or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves.
Disillusionment with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as indivials, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and infallibility, and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.
The adolescent, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that he has been unfair or unjust. What the child cannot forgive is the parent's refusal to admit these charges if the child knows them to be true.
Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating behind an unreasoning authoritarian attitude; in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too cowed to let them know how they really felt. Today we tend to go to the other extreme, but on the whole this is a healthier attitude both for the child and the parent. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.

參考譯文
當家長聽到孩子贊揚自己朋友的家時,總感到不安,認為孩子在嫌棄自家的飯菜、衛生、或傢具,而且愚蠢地讓孩子看出自己的煩惱。他們甚至責備孩子不忠,或者講些小朋友家長的壞話。家長這種有失身份和孩子氣的作法使青春期的孩子大為震驚,決心以後不再向父母講述去過的地方和見過的人。不要很久,家長就會抱怨孩子守口如瓶,什麼事也不告訴他們,殊不知這是他們自找的。
不管家長的人品有多麼好,作為父母有多麼合格,孩子們對家長幻想的破滅在某種程度上是不可避免的。除非父母自身不能令人滿意,大多數孩子對父母估價過高,以致這種估價很難指望經受住現實的考驗。如果家長意識到孩子們通常是多麼相信家長的品行和絕對正確,意識到孩子們的這種信念會對孩子產生多麼大的影響,那麼家長會大為吃驚和深受感動的。如果家長對青少年的這種反應有思想准備,並且意識到這象徵著孩子們正在成熟和正在發展寶貴的觀察力、獨立判斷力,那麼他們就不會那樣傷心,也就不會由於怨恨和抵觸這種反應,而把孩子推到自己的對立面去。
青少年酷愛真誠,對於能夠承認錯誤或無知、甚至承認自己做得不分平或不公正的父母,他們總是尊敬的,孩子們所不能原諒的是:父母錯了,孩子們也看出來了,可是做父母的還不肯承認。
維多利亞時代的父母認為,他們可靠無理的權威氣派來維護自己的尊嚴,實際上那是根本不行的。孩子們只不過被嚇得不敢讓父母知道自己的想法罷了。雖然現在我們傾向於走向另一個極端,但總地來看,孩子和家長雙方態度都比較端正。遇事採取面對現實的態度總是比較明智和穩妥的,盡管會有暫時的痛苦。

1.The World's Greatest Swordsman
At an exhibition of the world's best swordsman, the third-place fencer took the stage. A fly was released, and with an arc of his sword he cut the fly in half. The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's greatest swordsman.
His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile.
"Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!"
"Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father."
世界上最偉大的擊劍手
在一場世界最佳擊劍手錶演中,排名第三的擊劍手上場了。一隻蒼蠅放了出來,劍劃了一個弧,他將蒼蠅劈成了兩半。觀眾歡呼起來。緊接著排名第二的人將一隻蒼蠅切成了四半。現場一陣沉默,人們期盼著世界上最偉大的擊劍手出場。
他的劍鋒以一個巨大的弧線劃了下來--然而那隻昆蟲還在繼續飛行!觀眾被驚呆了。最偉大的擊劍手完全錯過了他的目標,然而他還在微笑著。
「你為什麼這么高興?」有人嚷道,「你沒擊中!」
「啊,」劍手答道,「你剛才沒有很仔細地看。蒼蠅還活著,是的--但他永遠也做不成爸爸了。」

2.A Mistake
An American, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident. They arrived at the gates of heaven, where a flustered St. Peter explained that there had been a mistake. "Give me $500 each," he said, "and I'll return you to earth as if the whole thing never happened."

搞錯了
一位美國人,一位英格蘭人和一位加拿大人在一場車禍中喪生。他們到達天堂的門口。在那裡,醉醺醺的聖彼德解釋說是搞錯了。「每人給我五百美元,」他說,「我將把你們送回人間,就象什麼都沒有發生過一樣。」
「成交!」美國人說。立刻,他發現自己毫不損傷地站在現場附近。
其他人在哪兒?」一名醫生問道。
「我離開之前,」那名美國人說,「我看見英格蘭人正在砍價,而那名加拿大人正在分辯說應該由他的政府來出這筆錢。」

5.Jonesie The Great Lion Hunter
A small village was troubled by a man-eating lion. So its leaders sent a message to the great hunter, Jonesie, to come and kill the beast.
For several nights the hunter lay in wait for the lion, but it never appeared. Finally, he told the village chief to kill a cow and give him its hide. Draping the skin over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait for the lion.
In the middle of the night, the villagers woke to the sound of blood-curdling shrieks coming from the pasture. As they carefully approached, they saw the hunter on the ground, groaning in pain. There was no sign of the lion.
"What happened, Jonesie? Where is the lion?" asked the chief.
"Forget the damn lion!" he howled. "Which one of you idiots let the bull loose?"

"This Indian is incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather.
However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.
