Willful Child

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

Once upon a time there was a child who was willful and did not do what his mother wanted. For this reason God was displeased with him and caused him to become ill, and no doctor could help him, and in a short time he lay on his deathbed.

He was lowered into a grave and covered with earth, but his little arm suddenly came forth and reached up, and it didn't help when they put it back in and put fresh earth over it, for the little arm always came out again. So the mother herself had to go to the grave and beat the little arm with a switch, and as soon as she had done that, it withdrew, and the child finally came to rest beneath the earth.

从前有个非常任性的小孩,她从不听母亲的话,上帝对此很不高兴,让她得了医生谁也治不好她的病,很快她就踏上了黄泉之路。人们把她的尸体放入了墓穴,然后向她身上撒泥土,但突然她的一只手臂伸了出来,向上举着。人们把她的手臂又塞了进去,继续撒泥土,但她的手臂又伸了出来。对此她母亲也无计可施,只得走下墓穴,用棍子在那手臂上敲了一下,它这才缩了进去,这样小女孩总算在地下安静地长眠了

　一个民族产生过几位大哲学家没什么稀罕，但一个民族能以哲理的眼光去观察事物，那是难能可贵的。我整理了哲理英语美文故事，欢迎阅读!

哲理英语美文故事篇一

　让我们微笑吧

　The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile, that costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

　那最能赋予生命价值、代价最廉而回报最多的东西，不过一个令人心畅的微笑而已。

　The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men, will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the Sun again.

　由衷地热爱同胞的微笑，会驱走心头阴郁的乌云，心底收获一轮夕阳。

　It's full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent; It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn?t cost a cent.

　它充满价值和美好，混合着坚毅的仁爱之心;它价值连城却不花一文。

　There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile; It always has the same good look; it's never out of style; It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;

　当我们看到喜悦的微笑，忧伤就会一扫而光;它始终面容姣好，永不落伍;失败令我们沮丧之时，它鼓励我们再次尝试;

　The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.It pays the highest interest for it is merely lent;

　鼓励的笑靥于你我大有裨益。它支付的利息高昂无比──只因它是种借贷形式;

　It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn?t cost a cent.

　它价值连城却不花一文。

　A smile comes very easy you can wrinkle up with cheer. A hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug, and always leaves an echo that is very like a hug.

　来一个微笑很容易──嘴角欢快翘起来，你能百次微笑，可难得挤出一滴泪;它的涟漪深深波及心弦，总会留下反响，宛若拥抱。

　So, smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant. It?s worth a million dollars, and it doesn?t cost a cent.

　继续微笑吧!谁都懂得它意味着什么。它价值连城却不花一文。

哲理英语美文故事篇二

　让过去过去 让未来来到

　Regret can be a terrible addiction. Those who suffer from it so often become bitter and full of self-pity.

　后悔是一件很可怕的东西, 它会让人上瘾. 那些经常感到后悔的人会变得更加悲天悯人, 自顾自怜.

　It is an emotion that serious entrepreneurs cannot afford: they must keep pressing onwards and should not look back with remorse, dwelling on errors of long ago.

　而对于企业家来说, 他们绝对不可以对后悔? 这种情绪上瘾. 他们必须时刻坚持前进, 不能总是回望很久以前犯下的错误而懊悔自责.

　As Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, said:When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.? Entrepreneurs must learn to manage the conflict between constant experimentation which means lots of painful mistakes and a fear of failure, which can lead to paralysis.

　正如电话机的发明者亚历山大?格拉汉姆?贝尔所言,当人生的一扇门关闭了, 总会有另一扇门为你打开; 然而, 我们却经常久久地回顾那扇关闭了的门, 懊悔不已, 却没有看到那扇为我们打开的门.? 企业家必须学会如何平衡各种不断的尝试和害怕失败的心理之间的矛盾. 这些尝试可能意味着许多痛苦的失误, 而害怕失败的心理则可能导致你停滞不前.

　Likewise, past glory can be a killer. For example, Greg Dyke, who is a clever fellow, still harks back too much to his resignation as director-general of the BBC. He should move on and stop moaning about the injustice of it all.

　同样的, 过去的荣耀也可能是毁灭你的杀手. 比如说, 格里格?戴克, 一个头脑聪明的人, 至今仍然对他当初辞去BBC总裁一职耿耿于怀. 他应该立即停止抱怨所有的不公, 继续前进.

　And Tim Waterstone should give up trying to buy back his bookshop chain, which he finally left more than 10 years ago (after selling it once and then getting involved again). He has tried to repurchase it at least five times, if rumour is to be believed. Possibly the root of the problem is that he exaggerates the chain?s importance, once saying:Waterstone?s does more for the day-to-day cultural life of the nation than perhaps anything or anyone else.?

　而蒂姆?沃特斯通, 既然十年前已经决定离开他的连锁书店了, 现在就应该放弃试图回购连锁书店的计划(他曾经将书店出售, 后来又买回来). 如果传言属实的话, 他曾经至少五次试图将它买回来. 问题的根源可能是, 他过于高估书店的价值. 他曾说,Waterstone?s 在本国日常文化生活层面上所做的贡献是任何东西和任何人都不能比拟的.?

　No doubt I suffered from a similar delusion in taking over Borders bookshops. But such thoughts were never true, and are even less so now, in the age of e-books and Amazon. Admittedly, I did try to buy back PizzaExpress once, but that was different it would have been a sound financial deal.

　同样并不稀奇的是, 在接管Borders书店时, 我也有类似的错觉. 然而, 这样的感觉从来都是错误的, 而在当今的电子书和亚马逊普及的时代, 这种感觉就更加错误了. 无可置否, 我也曾经试图回购 PizzaExpress, 然而那时的情况不同, 那次的回购可能是一次明智的金融交易.

　And who doesn?t have a tale of the one that got away? I remember David Dein, my predecessor as chairman of the charity Stage One, telling a wonderfully self-deprecating anecdote of his initial activities as a theatrical angel. Mr Dein, who has made a fortune investing in Arsenal football club, backed some early shows from a promising young producer called Cameron Mackintosh, and they unfortunately lost money. Finally, the apprentice impresario approached him about supporting an idea to put some of T.S.?Eliot?s poems to music, on stage. Not unreasonably, Mr Dein turned it down. It became, of course, Cats, one of the most successful productions of all time, and helped make Mr Mackintosh a very rich man indeed.

　然而, 谁不曾中此类的招数呢? 我记得在我之前担任慈善机构Stage One董事长的大卫?德恩曾经自嘲般地讲过他的一件轶事, 这件事与他刚开始担任戏剧赞助人的经历有关. 德恩先生曾经投资阿森纳足球俱乐部并获得可观的利润. 后来他赞助一位颇有潜力的年轻制片人卡梅伦?麦金托什的一些早期剧目, 然而不幸的是, 这是一笔亏本买卖. 最后, 那位学徒式的剧场经理希望德恩可以支持他将T?S?艾略特的部分诗歌改编成音乐剧搬上舞台. 而德恩拒绝了他的请求, 这一切看起来也确实合情合理. 这时你应该猜到, 这后来成为了史上最成功的音乐剧之一, <<猫>>. 它成功地让麦金托什变成一个非常富有的人.

　One of my experiences in that vein was Transform, a leading cosmetic surgery company. It was a highly profitable undertaking, serving a booming market, and I believed the acquisition would be a real winner. I spent many weeks negotiating a deal, but then got slightly cold feet at the last minute, and fell out with the vendor over a relatively trivial sum. He immediately turned round and sold it to those astute fellows at Phoenix private equity. Inevitably, they proceeded to make a rapid fortune.

　我也有类似的经历, 那是在一家叫Transform的领先美容整形公司里. 这家公司营利情况非常好, 市场需求大, 因此我相信收购这家公司是一个明智的选择. 我花了好多周的时间谈判这笔交易, 但是在最后一刻却有点动摇了, 最后因为一笔非常小的金额上与出售方发生分歧而使交易告吹. 出售方立即把公司转卖给私人股本公司Phoenix的那帮精明的家伙. 结局不用说, 这些人迅速地赚取了可观的利润.

　At least my mistake wasn?t as expensive as George Bell?s. He was the former documentary film-maker hired in 1996 to run Excite, the dotcom darling, which achieved a market capitalisation of $35bn at its peak. Three years later, the founders of Google decided that their search business was interfering with their studies and tried to sell it to a number of buyers, including Mr Bell, for just $750,000. He turned it down flat. Excite subsequently went bankrupt, while Google is now worth $170bn.

　然而, 至少, 我的失误不及乔治?贝尔的失误付出的代价高. 他曾经是纪录片制片人, 1996年被Excite雇用. 该公司最高实现了350亿美元的市值. 三年后, 谷歌的创使人认为, 他们的搜索业务干扰到了他们的研究, 试图用区区75万美元向众多的买家出售, 包括贝尔. 然而贝尔直接拒绝了. Excite后来破产了, 而谷歌现在的市值高达1700亿美元.

　And it would be hard not to feel some sympathy for James Monaghan. In 1960, he teamed up with his brother Tom in the purchase of a single pizza restaurant in Michigan for $500. But later that year, he decided to go travelling, and so sold his 50 per cent share in the business to his brother in exchange for a used Volkswagen Beetle. A few years later, the company changed its name to Domino?s Pizza, and in 1998 was sold for about $1bn.

　同样的, 我们也难免会为詹姆斯?莫纳汗感到可惜. 1960年, 他和他的兄弟汤姆合作, 用500美元在密歇根买下了一间比萨餐厅. 后来, 也就在那一年, 他决定去旅行, 于是将自己百分之五十的股份卖给了他的兄弟, 换取一辆二手的大众甲壳虫汽车. 几年以后, 那家比萨餐厅改名为达美乐比萨餐厅. 1998年, 达美乐比萨餐厅以约10亿美元的价格出售.

　By all means treasure experience, and learn from your blunders. But don?t wallow in nostalgia, pining for what might have been. Rather, go ahead and seize the day no matter what. I have little time for those who say: I wish I had started my own business. My only response is: so do it now.

　前车可鉴, 我们一定要从经验和失误中吸取教训. 但是切不可以过分沉浸在过去的伤怀中而于可能的结果念念不忘. 相反, 你应该勇往直前, 抓住一切可能的机会. 我没有空去理会那些只会说我要早点创业就好了?. 如果有人对我说这句话, 我会对他说: 现在就去做吧!

哲理英语美文故事篇三

　珍惜现在 不再错过

　音乐家约翰带着一把价值不菲的古董名琴，悄悄来到人潮不断的地铁站演奏。弦音曼妙，在空旷处流淌。将近一小时的演奏中，真正驻足聆听者只有六七人。最捧场的是一位三岁小童，听得入神。约翰当天得到52美元赏金。

　John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique zither and played it in the crowded subway station. The music emanating from the zither was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 U.S. dollar for his work that day.

　平日，约翰的演奏会举行时，一张票超过100美元，且一票难求。 后来，不少当时就在地铁站的观众扼腕自己眼拙，错过了一场免费或者廉价的音乐盛宴。

　However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.

　有位忙碌的朋友得知老婆罹患重症，彻头彻尾变了一个人：亲自下厨，陪太太散步?可是妻子敌不过病魔摧残，三个月后就撒手人寰。他很伤感地说，太忙了，错过与妻子营造最美好的人生时光，想弥补却弥补不回来。

　I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with acute illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.

　医生的儿子从19楼一跃而下，留下一封遗书，信中留言：最想爸爸陪他，最想看**，最希望快快乐乐?儿子往生之后，爸爸才明白，人生中最珍贵的不是成就，而是亲情。

　A doctor?s son jumped from the 19th floor of a building and left a posthumous letter which expressed his strong desire for staying more with his father, going to see a movie with his father, etc. Not until his son committed suicide had the doctor realized that the most precious thing is not career achievement, but the tight and intact family bonds.

　可惜千金难买早知道，很多美好的事，往往简简单单就被轻易错过了。

　It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.

　事实上，我也错过一些事。错过的理由很简单：以为还有明天。

　Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.

　事实上，明天是不可靠的。要不，日休禅师怎么会说，很多人的一生中，只做了?等待?与?后悔?两件事，合起来就叫?来不及?。我们老爱说：长大再说，有钱再说，老了再说?可是到了那时候，却什么都不必说了。

　Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people?s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer do realize our wish any more, because we have lost it by then.

The Fox and the Grapes

One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success.

The Cock and the Pearl

A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw.

The Dog and the Shadow

It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

有只狗嘴巴衔著一块肉，准备回家好好享用一番（It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace）。回家的路上（Now on his way home），他得走过一块板子，以便穿越湍急的溪流 （he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook）。正当他走在板子上的时候 （As he crossed），往下看到河里倒映的影子（he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath），以为是另外一只狗衔著另一块肉（Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat），他也想把那块肉抢过来（he made up his mind to have that also），就啪的一声往水里跳（So he made a snap at the shadow in the water），可当他张开口（but as he opened his mouth），嘴里的肉也掉了出来 （the piece of meat fell out），掉进水里 （dropped into the water），消失无踪了 （and was never seen more）。

The moral is that：Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

小小启发：注意别因为想抓住影子，把看得到的东西给丢了。

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.

一个男人和他的女朋友结婚，举行了一场盛大的结婚庆典。

All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.

所有的朋友和家人都来到结婚典礼上参加欢宴和庆祝活动。大家都过得很开心。

The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.

穿着白色婚纱的新娘漂亮迷人，穿着黑色礼服的新郎英俊潇洒。每个人都能看出他们彼此的爱是真诚的。

A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."

几个月后，妻子走近丈夫提议说：“我刚才在杂志上看到一篇文章，说的是怎样巩固婚姻。”她说：“我们两个人都各自把对方的小毛病列在一张纸上，然后我们商量一下怎样解决，以便使我们的生活更幸福。”

The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.

丈夫同意了。于是他们各自走向不同的房间去想对方的缺点。那一天余下的时间里，他们都在思考这个问题，并且把他们想到的都写下来。

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.

第二天早上，吃早饭的时候，他们决定谈谈彼此的缺点。

"I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.

“我先开始吧。”妻子说。她拿出她的单子，上面列举了很多条，事实上，足足写满了三页。当她开始念的时候，她注意到丈夫眼里含着泪花。

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list."

“怎么啦?”她问。“没什么，”丈夫答道，“继续念吧。”

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.

妻子又接着念。整整三页都念完之后她把单子整齐地放在桌上，两手交叉放在上面。

"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said happily.

“现在该你念了，然后我们谈谈所列举的缺点。”她高兴地说。

Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."

丈夫平静地说：“我什么也没写，我觉得像你这样就很完美了，我不想让你为我改变什么。你很可爱迷人，我不想让你改变。”

The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

妻子被丈夫的诚实和对她深深的爱和接纳感动了，她转过头去哭起来。

In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?

生命中我们有很多的失望、沮丧和烦恼，我们根本不需要寻找。我们美妙的世界充满了美丽、光明、希望。但是，当我们放眼四周时，为什么浪费时间寻找不快、失望和烦恼，而看不到我们面前的美好事物呢？

.THE ANT AND THE DOVE

蚂蚁和鸽子

One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, she came to a spring.

To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the water.

She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it.

Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net. The dove was quick to fly away to safety.

MORAL: One good turn deserves another.

2.A Simple Gesture 举手之劳

Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.

Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mothers sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more, you saved my life."

The Wise Old Man and the River

Once upon a time, there was a wise old man who lived in a small village by the river. One day, a young man came to him and said, "Old man, I want to be wise like you. Can you teach me your secrets?"

The wise old man looked at him and said, "Sure, but first, let's take a walk by the river."

They walked in silence for a while until they came to the river. The wise old man suddenly pushed the young man into the river and held him under the water.?

The young man struggled and fought to get free, but the old man held him firmly. Just when he was about to pass out, the old man pulled him out of the river and helped him catch his breath.

The young man was furious and demanded an explanation. The old man calmly replied, "When you were under the water, what did you want more than anything else?"?

"I wanted to breathe!" the young man gasped.

The old man nodded and said, "That's the secret to wisdom. When you want to be wise as much as you wanted to breathe, then you will be."

The young man was humbled and realized that wisdom was not something that could be learned overnight, but a lifelong pursuit.?

Moral of the story: Wisdom cannot be taught, but it can be pursued. It takes patience, perseverance, and a deep desire to learn

从前，有一个智慧老人住在河边的一个小村庄里。一天，一个年轻人来找他，说：“老人，我想像你一样聪明。你能教我你的秘诀吗？”

智慧老人看着他，说：“好吧，但首先，让我们去河边散步。”

他们默默地走了一会儿，直到来到了河边。智慧老人突然把年轻人推进了河里，并把他按在水下。

年轻人挣扎着想挣脱，但老人却抓住他。就在他快要晕过去的时候，老人把他从河里拉了上来，帮助他呼吸。

年轻人很生气，要求解释。智慧老人平静地回答道：“当你在水下的时候，你最想要什么？”

“我想要呼吸！”年轻人喘息着说。

老人点了点头，说：“这就是智慧的秘密。当你像渴望呼吸一样渴望智慧时，你就会拥有智慧。”

年轻人感到羞愧，意识到智慧不是一夜之间就能学会的，而是一个终身追求的过程。

寓意：智慧不能被教授，但可以追求。这需要耐心、毅力和深刻的学习愿望。
