The
bird
Jingwei
trying
to
fill
the
sea
Once
upon
a
time,
the
youngest
daughter
of
Emperor
Yan,
legendary
ruler
of
primitive
China,
went
boating
on
the
Eastern
Sea.
While
she
was
enjoying
herself,
a
strong
wind
rose
on
the
sea
and
her
boat
capsized.
Just
before
she
was
buried
by
the
surging
waves,
her
spirit
turned
into
a
beautiful
bird.
As
it
flew
over
the
roaring
sea,
it
cried
sadly
in
the
sound
"jinwei,
jingwei".
That
was
why
people
called
it
"Jingwei".
The
bird
lived
on
a
mountain
near
the
sea.
It
hated
the
sea
so
much
that
it
decided
to
fill
it
up.
Every
day,
it
flew
to
and
fro
between
the
mountain
and
the
sea,
carrying
in
a
twig
or
a
pebble
from
the
mountain
and
dropping
it
into
the
sea.
One
day,
the
roaring
sea
said
to
Jingwei,
"Poor
little
bird,
stop
doing
that
meaningless
thing!
You'll
never
fill
me
up."
Jingwei
replied,
"I'll
fill
you
up
no
doubt!
I
will,
even
if
it'll
take
me
thousands
of
years!
I'll
fight
on
until
doomsday!"
The
brave
little
bird
kept
carrying
twigs
and
pebbles
from
the
mountain
to
the
Eastern
Sea
without
taking
a
rest.
From
this
fable
comes
the
idiom
"The
bird
Jingwei
trying
to
fill
the
sea".
We
use
it
to
describe
people
who
are
firm
and
indomitable
and
will
not
stop
until
they
reach
their
goal.

As

However,
the

The Firm Helen Keller
In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark - she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.
1882年，一名女嬰因高發燒差點喪命。她雖倖免於難，但發燒給她留下了後遺症-- 她再也看不見、聽不見。因為聽不見，她想講話也變得很困難。
Before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor - Anne Sullivan.
Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people's lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.
在她快到七歲生日時，家裡便雇了一名家庭教師 -- 安尼·沙利文。
安尼悉心地教授海倫，特別是她感興趣的東西。這樣海倫變得溫和了而且很快學會了用布萊葉盲文朗讀和寫作。靠用手指接觸說話人的嘴唇去感受運動和震動，她又學會了觸唇意識。這種方法被稱作泰德馬，是一種很少有人掌握的技能。她也學會了講話，這對失聰的人來說是個巨大的成就。
Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar.While she was still at college she wrote 'The Story of My Life'. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.
海倫證明了自己是個出色的學者，上大學時她就寫了《我的生命》。這使她取得了巨大的成功從而有能力為自己購買一套住房。
After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas
1968年她去世後，一個以她的名字命名的組織建立起來，該組織旨在與發展中國家存在的失明缺陷做斗爭。如今這所機構，"國際海倫·凱勒"，是海外向盲人提供幫助的最大組織之一。

誇父奔日（稍稍誇張一點點，別介意~~~O(∩_∩)O！）
很久很久以前，有一個人叫誇父的，他個子又高，體重也沉，力氣就更別提了，自然是大的很的說。那個時候人才從猴子變過來沒多久呢，文明的發展也不咋地，所以還很崇尚武力，誰厲害當然就占些便宜，很容易被人重視被人崇拜的啦，所以誇父自然也覺得自己牛啊牛的說。可是突然有一天誇父去臨近部落的時候，遇到了酋長的女兒，一個漂啊漂的mm，一下子就愛上她樂，死氣白賴的追人家。漂漂mm蠻喜歡他的啊，那麼健壯打起架來肯定不吃虧的，也不怕被別人欺負的說。可是mm的老爸，也就是酋長大人想把她許配給另外一個部落的酋長，好把兩個部落的力量聯合起來，獲得部落的利益，可是誇父那麼壯，酋長老爸怕怕的說，於是就對誇父說：「你想娶我女兒可以啊，但是你得給聘禮才行的。」誇父就問他：「你要什麼？你要什麼我都答應你！！」酋長老爸就說：「我的女兒是我的寶貝，要娶她，你得用天上的太陽來交換才行。」酋長老爸本來想，太陽是不可能被誇父拿來的啊，出個難題他做不到就不再想了嘛，誰知道誇父雖然個子大，可是光長身體樂，沒有腦子，是個傻大個的說。他抬頭一看，太陽就在沒多遠的天上掛著呢，就說：「好啊好啊，我這就去追，你可得守信用哦。」說完就屁顛兒屁顛兒的追太陽去樂。 太陽老大多牛啊，什麼時候有人敢這么不尊重他了？一看誇父這個傻大個真的追過來了，心說：「我還能被你追上？那不是太沒面子了嘛！」就趕了自己的馬車飛快的跑了起來。沒成想誇父雖然傻，可是跑的可真快哦，太陽老大已經活了好多好多年樂，那幾匹拉車的馬也都老的不行了，平時又不運動，只會拉了車慢悠悠的走，今天突然被追，竟然眼看著被誇父追的越來越近樂。太陽老大一看不好，趕緊下了車，一溜煙兒的自己跑了起來。 誇父追啊追，就要追上太陽扔下的馬車的時候覺得口渴的不行了，而且跑了這么久，也累的夠戧，就趕緊趕了馬車去喝水。馬車因為是太陽的馬車啊，自然就認為自己了不起些了，左邊一個輪子右邊一個輪子都很power的說。可是因為太陽買馬車的時候手頭正緊張呢，車前面的七色流蘇是不能省的啊，那可是門面的，於是太陽一狠心，就買了兩個破輪子，所以雖然車身子蠻漂漂的，可是輪子嘛就不好意思些了。這馬車被趕啊趕的，小輪子跑得暈的要命（小腿兒倒不過來了?;-P），雖然都快口吐白末了，可是為了面子也只能受些苦堅持著了。轉眼車就到河、渭了，小輪子心想這回可算是交代過去啦。誇父把身子歪到右邊去，伸了根好長好長的麥管下去吸啊吸的，很快就把河、渭的水都喝光啦，然後一扁嘴：「怎麼還渴啊，而且這么熱，乾脆去貝加爾湖喝冰鎮礦泉水去吧！」然後一揚鞭子，馬兒唏騮一聲長嘶，盪著漫天的塵煙就奔北邊去了。只可憐小輪子還沒歇過來呢，就又得賣命了，盡管它的意志力蠻強的（要面子就這點兒好處嘛！;-P）可是無奈身體不給面子啊，還沒到貝加爾湖呢，已經不行了。這時候誇父突然喊了一聲：「好大的一片桃林啊，我要吃桃子的說。」邊說著身子就探出了車外，伸了腦袋往下看。這輪子還喘呢，一點兒准備也沒有啊，架著誇父塊兒也大，嘩嚓一聲右邊的輪子就塌斷掉樂。可憐車上的誇父對太陽的車子報以了那麼大的信任，沒有作任何提防，一下子就被從天上扔了下來，倒栽在桃林里摔死樂。 跑在前面的太陽老大呼哧呼哧的跑啊跑，突然回頭一看，不見了誇父了。四下一找，發現跟桃林里倒插在地上已經沒氣兒樂。太陽老大心中後悔，暗自為自己害死了跑的這么快的誇父覺得內疚，不然回頭讓他參加奧運會去，好歹也能拿一堆冠軍回來給東方人爭爭光啊（太陽家在東方，每天早上起來都很勤快的上班去的哦）。於是就讓自己肩膀上的大烏鴉把誇父的死訊帶會了部落里去。那時候還沒有自由戀愛的呢，就更別說為追求愛情而付出生命的了，於是部落里的大法師把他的故事記了下來，講述給後世的繼承者，好讓誇父的故事得以流傳。後來由於傳啊傳的好多情節就都丟樂，人們只知道從前有個傻傻的誇父妄想追太陽來的，卻不知道，他是第一個為了愛情而犧牲生命的愛的先驅呢。

以下三篇是英語短文故事：
第一篇: 狼和羊
A wolf had been badly wounded by dogs. He lay sick and maimed in his lair.He felt very hungry and thirsty. When a sheep passed by, he asked him to fetch some water from the stream."If you bring me the water," he said, "I will find means to get some food.""Yes," said the sheep, "if I bring you the water, you would undoubtedly make me your food."
狼被狗所咬，傷勢很嚴重，痛苦地躺在巢穴里，不能外出覓食。 他感到又餓又渴，這時，他看見一隻羊，便請求他到附近的小河裡為他取一點水來。「你給我一點水解渴」，他說，「我就能自己去尋找食物了。」「是呀」，羊回答說，「如果我給你送水喝，那麼我就會成為你的食物。」 寓意: 謊言是經不起推敲的，它很容易被人們識破。
第二篇: 狐狸和葡萄
One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy."I'm just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes.He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes.The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up.He walked away with his nose in the air, and said「I am sure they are sour.」
一個炎熱的夏日，狐狸走過一個果園，他停在一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。 狐狸想：「我正口渴呢。」於是他後退了幾步，向前一沖，跳起來，卻無法夠到葡萄。 狐狸後退又試。一次，兩次，三次，但是都沒有得到葡萄。 狐狸試了一次又一次，都沒有成功。最後，他決定放棄，他昂起頭,邊走邊說：「葡萄還沒有成熟，我敢肯定它是酸的。」 寓意: 在經歷了許多嘗試而不能獲得成功的時候，有些人往往故意輕視成功，以此來尋求心理安慰。
第三篇：口渴的烏鴉
A crow felt very thirsty. He looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher.But there was not a lot of water in the pitcher. His beak could not reach it. He tried again and again, but still could not touch the water.When he was about to give up, an idea came to him. He took a pebble and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another and dropped it in.Graally, the water rose, and the crow was able to drink the water.
