英语演讲一分钟小故事（优秀20篇）

Skill comes from practice

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground. He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler only nodded his head indifferently. This hurt his Pride.

“Can you do this?” he asked the old oil peddler. “No, I can’t.”

“What do you think of my skill?”

“Just OK, but nothing special. You’ve gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That’s all.”

“What can you do, then?” the old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with a copper coin. He then scooped out a ladle of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the bottle.

Now, a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, “This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot.” And with these words, he left.

Later, people use this phrase to mean “Practice makes perfect”.

北宋时期，有个技艺高超的射手。有一天，他在训练场上练习射箭，引来了一大群人观看，大家都称赞他的技艺，他感到非常骄傲。但他发现人群中有个卖油翁只是淡淡的点点头，这使得他很不高兴。

他就问那老头：“你会射箭吗?”

“不会。”

“你认为我的技术如何?”

“一般。没什么特别的，你只能对付固定的东西，仅此而已。”

“你会干什么?”

这个老头没有回答。他把一个葫芦放在地上，接着把一枚铜钱放在瓶口。然后从他的大油壶里舀起一勺油。

从高处往放在地上的葫芦里倒。只见那油就像线一样从铜钱中间的小洞里滴下去，一滴都没有漏出来。围观者都惊呆了。而这个卖油翁却说：“其实没什么大不了的，只不过是天天练的结果。”说完，他就离开了。

后来，人们用“熟能生巧”这个成语来表示熟练了就能作得好。

What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.

On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.

Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.

You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.

I am an ordinary boy. I thought I had been very lonely. Not a lot of love. Friendship, love, family I do not seem important. I had the world on fantasy alone. Cruel killer me as a lot of people. Who can understand there is darkness in my heart. I am afraid, I suffer too. Perhaps the world is dismal. Lonely people more clearly.

Maybe I'm wrong. Should not go on their own have been dark. I changed. Is love. Friends care, parental care, I gradually realized that I was not missing anything. The lack of love found only one pair of eyes. Now sometimes the love you gave me. I look very cold. Is not the case. I can feel. I will be deeply in love.

I'm going to feel, feel the love. In fact, I'm not alone, I have teeth hot anxious heart. I need to feel it deeply.

Recently, a friend gave me that 2012, you what happens, I do not believe that, if true, I will fight to survive, because the fate of the master in their own hands. Everything is possible. Even dead, I am not afraid, because there is love.

Let us begin to feel love.

Linda was a good girl, but she was often late for school.

One day, she was late again. When she came in, Mr. Clark, her teacher said angrily, “I’ll tell you father if you are late again.” Linda didn’t want him to do that. Because her father was very strict with her.

The next morning, Linda got up early. She hurried to school. At the school gate, she heard the first bell, “What shall I do?” she asked herself, “I’ll turn it in first.” She decided. And so she did.

When she hurried into her classroom, Mr. Clack was already beginning his class.

“Linda! Didn’t I tell you to be here on time?” Mr. Clack said as he as her.

“I’m sorry, sir,” Linda tried to explain, “I’m late because I had to…?”

“I don’t listen to any excuse,” Mr. Clack stopped her. “If you can’t get here on time, I have to tell your father.”

“But Mr. Clack. It’s …it’s unfair!”

“Unfair! How dare you say that?” Mr. Clack said angrily, “I’ll report you to the headmaster.

“I was only trying to do a good idea,” Linda thought,“and now…” She couldn’t keep back her tears.

When the bell rang for the break, the door opened and Mr. White, the headmaster came in. he was holding a wallet in his hand, “Excuse me, Mr. Clack. Is this your wallet?”

“Oh,yes. It’s my wallet. Who found it? I must thank him.”

“Linda found it and turned it in before school started.” Mr. Whitesaid.

Mr. Clack face slowly turned red. He looked at Linda and said, “I’m very sorry. Linda. I take back what I said.”

“And I’m sorry. Mr. Clack. I’ll try not to be late again.” Linda said.

这是不公平

琳达是一个好女孩，但她经常迟到。

一天，琳达又迟到了。当她进来的时，她的老师克拉克先生生气说：“如果你在迟到， 我就通知你爸爸。”琳达不想他那么做，因为她爸爸对她要求很严格。

第二天，琳达起床很早。她匆匆向学校走去，在学校大门口，她停下来了。因为地上有一个钱夹。当她站在那儿是，她听见了第一遍铃声，“我该怎么办呢?”她自言自语，“我要先把它交上去。”她下定决定，于是她就是这么做了。

当她匆匆走进教室的时候，克拉克先生已经开始讲课了。

“琳达，我没有告诉你早点来吗?”克拉克先生一看到琳达就说，

“对不起，先生。”琳达想解释，“我迟到是因为我不得不……”

“我不想听任何借口，“克拉克阻止道, “如果你不能准时到这儿，我不得不告诉你父亲。”

“但是，克拉克先生，这是…..这是不公平的!”

“不公平!你怎么敢那么说!”克拉克先生愤怒的说，“我要把你的事情汇报给校长!”

“我只想做一件好事，”琳达心想，“但是现在……”她的眼泪阻止不住流下来。

当下课铃声响起是，教室的门开了，校长怀特先生走了进来。他的手里拿着一个钱夹：“打扰一下，克拉克先生，这是你的钱夹吗?”

“哦，是我的。是谁找到的?我一定的谢谢她。”

“琳达发现的，并在上课前把它交来了。”怀特先生说。

克拉克先生的脸渐渐红了，他看了看琳达，惭愧地说：“对不起，琳达，我收回我说过的话。”

“我也不对，克拉克先生，我下次尽量不再迟到了。”琳达说。

Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?

I gave it to a poor old woman, he answered.

Youre a good boy, said the mother proudly. Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?

She is the one who sells the candy.

Good morning teachers and fellow students. Today we would like to introduce a few favorite books to you.

My favorite book is (Italian: Cuore). This is a diary written by an Italian boy Enrico. The diary is about his life and study. It included various touching stories that happened around Enrico, the mottos taught by his parents, as well as the wonderful ten "monthly" stories told by his teacher during the class. Every word in the chapter describes the word "love". From patriotism to friendship, and to the love between parents and child -- really touching.

This novel taught me how to love, and how to learn from love. I really like this book very much. How about you? What is your favorite book?

My favorite book is . Have you read it before?

Oh, I haven't read this book before. What is it about?

Well, it is a story of a rich girl who maintained her noble character after the bankruptcy of her father. The story is happy ending.

Can you tell us why you love this book so much?

Sure. It is because the story taught us to be brave and to face the challenges and difficulties with courage. I am deeply impressed by the strength and perseverance of the little princess in the story. I have decided to learn from her from now on.

Oh I see, the story sounds very good. I cannot wait to read this book as well.

今天天是个值得纪念的日子，是一年一度的父亲节!

母爱深似海，父爱重如山。人们在庆祝母亲节的同时，并没有忘记父亲的功绩。年就开始有人建议确定父亲节。年月，人们庆祝了第一个父亲节。当时，凡是父亲已故的人都佩戴一朵白玫瑰，父亲在世的人则佩戴红玫瑰。这种习俗一直流传至今。

据说，选定月过父亲节是因为月的阳光是一年之中最炽热的，象征了父亲给予子女的那火热的爱。父爱如山，高大而巍峨，让我望而生怯不敢攀登;父爱如天，粗旷而深远，让我仰而心怜不敢长啸;父爱是深邃的伟大的纯洁而不可回报的，然而父爱又是苦涩的，难懂的忧郁而不可企及的。父亲像是一棵树，总是不言不语，却让他枝叶繁茂的坚实臂膀为树下的我们遮风挡雨制造荫凉。岁月如指间的流水一样滑过，不觉间我们已长大，而树却渐渐老去，甚至新发的树叶都不再充满生机。每年月的第三个星期日是父亲的节日，让我们由衷的说一声：爸爸，我爱你!父亲节快乐!

现在，会考和期末考试将至，我建议我们要抓紧时间，努力学习，用优异的成绩作为送给父亲的礼物，去回报伟大的父爱，我相信那时父亲的笑容是最美的!同学们，加油吧!!!

Once a simpleton’s wife told him to buy some ice.

Two hours later, he didn’t come back. She wanted to know why he didn’t come back and went out to have a look. She saw he was standing in the sun at the gate and watching the ice melting.

“What’s the matter?” She asked him. “Why don’t you bring it in?”

“I saw the ice was wet and I was afraid that you would scold me so I’m running it dry.” The simpleton answered.

At present, a wide vareity of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities acrothe nation, with a multitude of college students ma-ki-ng up a growing population of card holders. Indeed, one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card, and the figure is expected to be on the steady increse, the latest data published by Yangtze Evening Post suggests。

Like anything prior to the emergence of this small piece of plastic, the increasing popularity of credit card on campus has both bright and dark sides. On the one hand, young adults in college, free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum of cash, could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments.

On the other hand, however, the irresponsible and excessive use of the cards by these youngsters, the majority of whom are fresh out of middle school incapable of budgeting their money, can make them heavily in debt which will take them years to pay off。

On my personal level, while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring, we couldn‘t afford to ignore a conspicious fact: in most cases, parents are our sole financial sources.Instead of spending without any restrict, we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and move ourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents。

she kindled a third match. again shot up the flame; and now she was sitting under a most beautiful christmas tree ,far larger, and far more prettily decked out, than the one she had seen last christmas eve through the glass doors of the rich merchant's house. hundreds of wax-tapers lighted up the green branches, and tiny painted figures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down from the tree upon her. the child stretched out her hands towards them in delight, and in that moment the lights of the match warm quenched; still, however, the christmas candles burned higher and higher， she beheld them beaming like stars in heaven; one of them fell, the lights streaming behind it like a long, fiery tail.

“now some one is dying,” said the little girl, softly, for she had been told by her old grandmother， the only person who had ever been kind to her, and who was now dead that whenever a star falls an immortal spirit returns to the god who gave it.

she struck yet another match against the wall; it flamed up, and surrounded by its light, appeared before her that same dear grandmother, gentle and loving as always, but bright and happy as she had never looked during her lifetime.

Between the darkness of earth and heaven she was burning fiercely upon a

disc of purple sea shot by the blood-red play of gleams; upon a disc of water

glittering and sinister.

A high, clear flame, an immense and lonely flame, ascended from the ocean,

and from its summit the black smoke poured continuously at the sky. She burned

furiously, mournful and imposing like a funeral pile kindled in the night,

surround-ed by the sea, watched over by the stars.

A magnificent death had come like a grace, like a gift, like a reward to

that old ship at the end of her laborious days. The surrender of her weary ghost

to the keeping of stars and sea was stirring like the sight of a glorious

triumph.

The masts fell just before daybreak, and for a moment there was a burst and

turmoil of sparks that seemed to fill with flying fire the night patient and

watchful, the vast night lying silent upon the sea.

you know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny july morning in pinders corner on pat and liz moynihan's beautiful farm and 62 counties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black pantsuits later, because of you, here we are.

you came out and said that issues and ideals matter, jobs matter, downstate and upstate, health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, social security matters, a woman's right to choose matters. it all matters and i just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, new york!

thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the possibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation. i am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you.

i will - i will do everything i can to be worthy of your faith and trust and to honor the powerful example of senator daniel patrick moynihan. i would like all of you and the countless new yorkers and americans watching to join me in honoring him for his incredible half century of service to new york and our nation. senator moynihan, on behalf of new york and america, thank you.

i promise you tonight that i will reach across party lines to bring progress for all of new york's families. today we voted as democrats and republicans. tomorrow we begin again as new yorkers.

and how fortunate we are indeed to live in the most diverse, dynamic and beautiful state in the entire union. you know, from the south bronx to the southern tier, from brooklyn to buffalo, from montauk to massena, from the world's tallest skyscrapers to breathtaking mountain ranges, i've met people whose faces and stories i will never forget. thousands of new yorkers from all 62 counties welcomed to me into your schools, your local diners, your factory floors, your living rooms and front porches. you taught me, you tested me and you shared with me your challenges and concerns - about overcrowded or crumbling schools, about the struggle to care for growing children and aging parents, about the continuing challenge of providing equal opportunity for all and about children moving away from their home towns because good jobs are so hard to find in upstate new york. now i've worked on issues like these for a long time, some of them for 30 years, and i am determined to make a difference for all of you.

you see, i believe our nation owes every responsible citizen and every responsible family the tools that they need to make the most of their own lives. that's the basic bargain. i'll do my best to honor in the united states senate.

and to those of you who did not support me, i want you to know that i will work in the senate for you and for all new yorkers. and to those of you who worked so hard and never lost faith even in the toughest times, i offer you my undying gratitude.

英语故事4分钟演讲稿篇四

Three Good Friends

One day, a monkey rides his bike near the river. This time he sees a lion under a tree. The lion runs at him. He is afraid and falls into the river. He can’t swim. He shouts. The rabbit hears him. He jumps into the river. The rabbit swims to the monkey, but he can’t help him. Luckily, an elephant comes along. He is very strong. He helps the rabbit and monkey. Three friends are very happy. They go to the elephant’s home. Then, three of them become good friends.

Hi, everybody. This Sunday is Father’s Day, and so I wanted to take a

moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have and that’s

being a dad.

大家好。周日是父亲节，所以我想花点时间谈谈我们都有的重要工作—当爸爸。

Today we’re blessed to live in a world where technology allows us to

connect instantly with just about anyone on the planet. But no matter how

advanced we get, there will never be a substitute for the love and support and,

most importantly, the presence of a parent in a child’s life. And in many ways,

that’s uniquely true for fathers.

今天我们有幸生活在这样一个世界，在这里科技让我们可以和世界上任何人即时的保持联络。不管我们多么先进，在孩子的一生中，爱和支持，特别是父母的存在，是最重要的，无可替代的。而且在很多方面，对父亲们更是唯一的正确。

I never really knew my own father. I was raised by a single mom and two

wonderful grandparents who made incredible sacrifices for me. And there are

single parents all across the country who do a heroic job raising terrific kids.

But I still wish I had a dad who was not only around, but involved; another role

model to teach me what my mom did her best to instill – values like hard work

and integrity; responsibility and delayed gratification – all the things that

give a child the foundation to envision a brighter future for themselves.

我从来没有了解过我的父亲。我是由单亲母亲和两位优秀的祖父母抚养成人，他们为我做出了巨大牺牲。全国各地都有单亲父母承担抚养可怜的孩子们的伟大工作。但是我始终希望我有个父亲不仅在身边，而且还融入我的生活;成为我妈妈呕心沥血地教我做的身体力行的榜样—勤奋诚实的价值观的榜样;责任感和知足感的榜样—所有给孩子展望他们的更加光明的未来的基础的东西。

That’ s why I try every day to be for Michelle and my girls what my father

was not for my mother and me. And I’ve met plenty of other people – dads and

uncles and men without a family connection –who are trying to break the cycle

and give more of our young people a strong male role model.

这就是为什么我每天都在为米切尔和我的两个女儿做的而我的父亲无法为我的母亲和我做的。我认识很多其他人—没有完整家庭的父亲、叔伯和男人—他们正在努力打破局限给更多年轻人一个强大的男性的榜样作用。

Being a good parent – whether you’re gay or straight; a foster parent or a

grandparent – isn’t easy. It demands your constant attention, frequent

sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. And nobody’s perfect. To this day,

I’m still figuring out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my

kids.

当好父母—不管你是同性恋或异性恋;养父母或祖父母—决非易事。它要求你永远的操心，经常的牺牲，不至于把孩子宠坏的耐心。没有人完美无缺。每当这一天，我都冥思苦想如何做我妻子更好的丈夫和我的孩子们的更好的父亲。

And I want to do what I can as President to encourage marriage and strong

families. We should reform our child support laws to get more men working and

engaged with their children. And my Administration will continue to work with

the faith and other community organizations, as well as businesses, on a

campaign to encourage strong parenting and fatherhood.

我作为总统希望做的是鼓励婚姻和稳固的家庭。我们应该改革我们的儿童抚养法让更多的男人努力融入他们的孩子们的生活。本届政府将继续与宗教和其他社区组织以及企业合作，鼓励双亲责任和父性。

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that all our

personal successes shine a little less brightly if we fail at family. That’s

what matters most. When I look back on my life, I won’t be thinking about any

particular legislation I passed or policy I promoted. I’ll be thinking about

Michelle, and the journey we’ve been on together. I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s

dance recitals and Malia’s tennis matches –about the conversations we’ve had and

the quiet moments we’ve shared. I’ll be thinking about whether I did right by

them, and whether they knew, every day, just how much they were loved.

因为如果说我在成长之路上学到了一件事，那就是如果家庭不幸，我们所有个人的成功都少了一点儿明亮的光泽，这才是最重要的。当我回顾我的一生，我不会想到我通过的任何法案或我提倡的政策。我想到的是米切尔和我们共同走过的旅程。我想到的是萨沙的个人舞蹈演出和玛利亚的网球比赛—想到我们的交流和我们共享的静谧时光。我想到的是我们为她们做的是否正确，她们是否懂得，她们每天得到多少爱。

That’s what I think being a father is all about. And if we can do our best

to be a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids; if we can show them

unconditional love and help them grow into the people they were meant to be;

then we will have succeeded.

这就是我认为作为一个父亲的全部。如果我们能成为我们的孩子们的满足和鼓励的最好的源泉;如果我们能献给他们无条件的爱和帮助他们成长为他们希望的成年人;那么我们就成功了。

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend.

祝父亲们节日快乐，周末愉快。

Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow' s poem -- A Psalm of Life: "In the world's blood field of

battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in

the strife!"

Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical "hero in the strife". He was not only

one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a

deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life,

though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another example

of persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique came

from continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to a

player.

As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I must

make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven

back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness.

Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall take

great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in

the rough sea of knowledge.

A Clever Hare

Billy Hare is shocked, but he isn’t scared. He says, “Follow me. I have better food for you.”

They go to a well.

“Look down here,” Billy Hare says “There is something in the water. “What’s that?” Mr. Fox asks surprisingly. “It’s a big and fat hen. Let’s get down and fetch it.” Billy Hare says and gets down with a pail.

“Can you out the hen into the pail?” Mr. Fox shouts. “No. She’s too big,” Billy Hare says, “Come down, please. We can take her up together. Jump into the other pail.”

Mr. Fox does so. When he gets down, Billy Hare gets up. “Good-bye!” Billy Hare gets out of the well and says. Mr. Fox can’t get out.

聪明的野兔

野兔比利很饿，他找到了一只萝卜。当他捡起萝卜的时候，狐狸先生正在他的身后，想吃了他。 “我也饿了。你是我的晚餐，我要吃了你。”狐狸说。 比利很吃惊，但是他并不害怕。他说：“跟我来，我有更好的食物给你。” 他们来到一口井边。

“朝这下面看，”比利说， “水里有东西。”“是什么呀?”狐狸先生好奇地问：“那是一只有大又费肥的母鸡。我们下去把她捉上来。”比利说着，乘一只水桶下去了。

“你能把鸡放进桶里吗?”狐狸问他：“不行，这只鸡太大了，”比利说，“下来吧。我们可以一起把它捉上去。快跳到另一只水桶里吧。”

狐狸照做了。当他下去的时候，比利就上来了。“再见。”比利从井里出来时说。而狐狸却出不来了。

A broken mirror joined together

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-589), there lived a beautiful, intelligent princess name Lechang in the State Chen. She and her husband Xu Deyan loved each other dearly. But before long their country was in danger of being invaded by the troops of the Sui Dynasty. Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan had a premonition that their county would be occupied by the invaders and they would have to leave the palace and go into exile. During the chaos they might lose touch with each other. They broke a bronze mirror, a symbol of the unity of husband and wife into two parts and each of them kept a half. They aGREed that each would take their half of the mirror to the fair during the Lantern Festival, which is on the 15th day of the first Lunar month, in the hope that would meet again. When they were united the two halves would join together. Soon their premonition came true. During the chaos of war, the princess lost touch with her husband was taken to a powerful minister Yang Su's house and was made his mistress.

At the Lantern Festival the next year, Xu Deyan took his half of the mirror to the fair. He hoped that he could meet his wife. It so happened that a servant was selling the other half of the bronze mirror. Xu Deyan recognized it immediately. He asked the servant about his wife. As he heard about her bitter experience, tears rolled down his cheeks. Xu Deyan wrote a poem on the half of the mirror kept by his wife: "You left me with your broken mirror Now the mirror is back but not you I can no longer see your reflection in the mirror Only the bright moon but not you" .

the servant brought back the inscribed half of the mirror to princess Lechang. For days, she could not help sobbing because she knew her husband was still alive and that he missed her but they could not meet forever.

the minister, Yang Su, found this out. He was also moved by their true love and realized it was impossible to get Lechang's love. So he sent for Xu Deyan and allowed the husband and wife to reunite.

From that story comes the idiom "A broken mirror joined together".

It is used to suggest the happy reunion of a separated couple.

破镜重圆

南北朝时期，陈国公主乐昌美丽且有才华。她与丈夫徐德言感情深厚。但当时，隋朝正入侵陈国，陈国即将被灭亡。乐昌公主和徐德言都预感到他们的国家将被入侵者占领，他们也会被迫离开王宫，背井离乡。战乱中，他们可能失去联系。于是，他们将一枚象征夫妻的铜镜一劈两半，夫妻二人各藏半边。相约在第二年正月十五元宵节那天，将各自的半片铜镜拿到集市去卖。期盼能重逢，并将两面镜子合而为一。

不久他们的预感就成为了现实。战乱中，公主与丈夫失散了，并被送到隋朝一位很有权势的大臣杨素家中，成了他的小妾。在第二年的元宵节上，徐德言带着他的半边铜镜来到集市上，渴望能遇见他的妻子。碰巧，有一名仆人正在卖半面的铜镜。徐德言马上认出了这面镜子。他向那名仆人打听妻子的下落。当他得知妻子的痛苦遭遇后，他不禁泪流满面。他在妻子的那半面铜镜上题了首诗："镜与人俱去，镜归人不归。无复嫦娥影，空留明月辉"。

那个仆人把题了诗的铜镜带回来，交给了乐昌公主。一连几天，她都终日以泪洗面，因为她知道丈夫还活着而且想念她，但他们却无法再相见了。

杨素终于发现了这件事。他也被两人的真情所打动，觉得自己也不可能赢得乐昌的爱。于是，他派人找来了徐德言，让他们夫妻团圆了。

"破镜重圆"这个成语就是从这个故事来的。形容夫妻分开后，又高兴的团圆。

A Brother Like That

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.

"Is this your car, Mister?" he said.

Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ." He hesitated.

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish," the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."

Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"

"Oh yes, Id love that."

After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.

He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.

"There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about." Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned

what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . "

哥哥的心愿

圣诞节时，保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车。圣诞节当天，保罗离开办公室时，一个男孩绕着那辆闪闪发亮的新车，十分赞叹地问： "先生，这是你的车?"

保罗点点头："这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。"男孩满脸惊讶，支支吾吾地说："你是说这是你哥送的礼物，没花你一分钱?天哪，我真希望也能……"

保罗当然知道男孩他真想希望什么。他希望能有一个象那样的哥哥。但是小男孩接下来说的话却完全出乎了保罗的意料。

"我希望自己能成为送车给弟弟的哥哥。"男孩继续说。

保罗惊愕地看着那男孩，冲口而出地说："你要不要坐我的车去兜风?" "哦，当然好了，我太想坐了!"

车开了一小段路后，那孩子转过头来，眼睛闪闪发亮，对我说："先生，你能不能把车子开到我家门前?"

保罗微笑，他知道孩子想干什么。那男孩必定是要向邻居炫耀，让大家知道他坐了一部大轿车回家。但是这次保罗又猜错了。"你能不能把车子停在那两个台阶前?"男孩要求道。 男孩跑上了阶梯，过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了，但动作似乎有些缓慢。原来把他跛脚的弟弟带出来了，将他安置在第一个台阶上，紧紧地抱着他，指着那辆新车。

只听那男孩告诉弟弟："你看，这就是我刚才在楼上对你说的那辆新车。这是保罗他哥哥送给他的哦!将来我也会送给你一辆像这样的车，到那时候你就能自己去看那些在圣诞节时，挂窗口上的漂亮饰品了，就象我告诉过你的那样。"

保罗走下车子，把跛脚男孩抱到车子的前座。兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也爬上车子，坐在弟弟的身旁。就这样他们三人开始一次令人难忘的假日兜风。

那个圣诞夜，保罗才真正体会主耶稣所说的"施比受更有福"的道理。

a woman was waiting at an airport one night， with several long hours before her flight。 she hunted for a book in the airport shops， bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop。 she was engrossed in her book but happened to see that the man sitting beside her， as bold as could be， grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between， which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene。 so she munched the cookies and watched the clock， as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock。

一天晚上，一位女士在机场候机，她的航班还要等上很长的几个小时。她在机场的商店里找了一本书，买下一袋曲奇饼，找了一个地方坐下。她全神贯注地读着书，忽然看见坐在她旁边的一个男子居然大胆地从他们之间的曲奇饼袋子里拿走了一两块去吃。为了不当众发脾气，她尽量假装没有看见，使劲地嚼着曲奇饼，一边看着表，而那个可恶的曲奇饼小偷正在使她的存货不断减少。

she was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by， thinking，"if i wasn't so nice， i would blacken his eye。" with each cookie she took， he took one too。 when only one was left， she wondered what he would do。 with a smile on his face， and a nervous laugh， he took the last cookie and broke it in half。 he offered her half， as he ate the other。

时光一分一秒地过去，她越来越生气，心想：“要不是我脾气好，我早把他的眼睛打青了!”就这样，她拿一块曲奇饼，他也拿一块，剩了最后一块时，她不明白对方会怎样做。他呢，脸上带着微笑，又有些紧张，把最后一块曲奇饼拿起来，掰成两半，给她一半，自我把另一半吃了。

she snatched it from him and thought。。。oooh， brother。 this guy has some nerve and he's also rude。 why he didn't even show any gratitude! she had never known when she had been so galled and sighed with relief when her flight was called。 she gathered her belongings and headed to the gate， refusing to look back at the ingrate thief。

她从对方手里夺下半块曲奇饼，想，哦，老兄!这家伙有点太胆大、太无理了。他竟然都没有露出一点感激的意思!她从来也没有像这样恼怒过，所以在她的航班通告响起时，她如释重负地叹了口气。她收拾好了行李，走向登机口，根本不想再看一眼那忘恩负义的小偷。

she boarded the plane， and sank in her seat。 then she sought her book， which was almost plete。 as she reached in her baggage， she gasped with surprise。 there was her bag of cookies， in front of her eyes。 if mine are here， she moaned in despair， the others were his， and he tried to share。 too late to apologize， she realized with grief， that she was the rude one， the ingrate， the thief。

登机之后，她舒适地坐在座位上，开始找那本立刻就要看完的书。就在她够到行李时，却惊讶地喘但是气来。她的曲奇饼不就放在自我眼前吗?她绝望地喃喃着，如果这是我的，那么那些曲奇饼就是他的啦，是他在和我分享。她悲哀地意识到，道歉已经太晚，她才是那个不讲理的、忘恩负义的、偷了曲奇饼的人。
