“Will you give me a stamp,daddy?I want to write and tell brother Tom.”
The father was touched by this,and provided the little lass with the materials to write a letter to her brother,who was away at school.Later,curious to know how she would tell the news,he took an opportunity to read what she had writen.He received something of a shock on reading the following:
“Dear Tom, It's come off today.You've lost;it's a boy.”
放学回到家里,十岁的小多莉被拉过来坐在她爸爸的膝上,她被告知那天仙女们带来了一个大大的惊奇——一个婴儿小弟弟。她似乎很高兴,马上说:
“爸爸,你能不能给我一张邮票?我要写信告诉汤姆哥哥。”
父亲被这话感动了,他为小姑娘提供了给她哥哥写信所需的各种用具,她的哥哥住在学校里。后来,想知道她是怎么报告这个消息的,他找机会读了她写的信。在读到下面这两行字时,他差点儿惊呆了:
“亲爱的汤姆:今天结果出来了,你输了;是个男孩。”
8.One evening,in the midst of dinner preparation,our 10 yearold daughter asked,“Mom my, what's puberty?”My wife was rushed at the moment,so she suggested that Peggy look up the word in the dictionary,after which they could talk about it.
A few minutes later,Peggy returned.Her mother asked what the dictionary had said.“Puberty means,”announced Peggy,“the earliest age at which a girl is able to bear children.”
“What do you think of that?” my wife asked.
“I'm not sure,” Peggy replied.“I've always been able to bear children.It's adults I can't bear.”
一天晚上,在准备晚饭的时候,我们十岁的女儿问:“妈妈,什么是青春期?”我的妻子此时正忙得不亦乐乎,所以她建议佩吉到字典上查这个词,然后她们可以再讨论它。
几分钟以后,佩吉回来了。她妈妈问字典上怎么说。“青春期的意思是,”佩吉宣布:“一个女孩能忍受孩子的最早年龄。”
“你怎么想呢?”我妻子问。
“我不知道,”佩吉回答。“我总能忍受孩子。让我忍受不了的是大人。”
9.There was a small boy who had been given a little terrier for his very own,on which he bestowed the name of Paddy,and loved mightily.He was very saddened by the fact that he could not take his pet away with him on his holidays,which he was spending with some relatives in the country.
Whilst he was away Paddy's young life was cut short by an unfortunate adventure with a motor.The boy's mother feared he would take the news very hardly on his return;she broke it very gently,therefore,and was rather surprised that the little lad did not seem much perturbed.Later,however,she heard him weeping lustily in his bed.He was inarticulate with grief,but his brother explained that he was crying“about Paddy”.
“But,” said the mother,“I told him about it this morning,and he did not seem to mind!”
The brother explained,“yes,but he thought you said Daddy.”

他不在家的时候,帕蒂在一次不幸的车祸中失去了年轻的生命。男孩的母亲怕他回家时听到这个消息太难过;因此她相当小心地把这个消息透露给他,而颇为令人惊讶的是小伙子看起来并不怎么在意。可是,后来她听见他在床上哭得死去活来。他伤心得说不出话来,但是他的哥哥解释说他在“为帕蒂”痛哭。
“可是,”这位母亲说:“我今天早晨告诉他了,他好像根本不在乎啊!”
他哥哥解释说:“是的,可他以为你说的是爸爸。”

laugh out of the other side of your mouth
乐极生悲
Chunyu Kun (淳于髡) lived in the state of Qi (齐国) during the Warring States Period (战国,475-221 BC).He was wise, humorous and eloquent. He skillfully advised the king on many occasions and successfully went to many states as an envoy.
战国时期,齐国有个叫淳于髡的人。他幽默机智,能说会道,给齐威王出过许多好主意,并且成功出使了许多其他的国家。
In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu (楚国) dispatched a large force to attack Qi.
公元349年,楚国派出大批军队攻打齐国。
The king of Qi sent Chunyu Kun to the state of Zhao (赵国) to ask for help, with a lot of valuable gifts.
齐王派淳于髡去赵国寻求帮助,于是他带着许多贵重的礼品去了赵国。
The king of Zhao accpeted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help Qi.
赵王见了礼物十分高兴,派了十万士兵去援助齐国。
The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news.
那天晚上,楚王得到这消息,马上撤回了自己的军队。
The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chunyu Kun. He set a banquet for celebration.
齐威王松了一口气,十分满意淳于髡的表现,并决定设宴为他庆功。
During the meal, the king asked Chunyu Kun, "How much wine can you drink before you're drunk, Sir?"
在宴会上,齐威王问淳于髡:“先生你喝多少酒会醉?”
Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chunyu Kun decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied, "I get drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred."
他幽默地回答说:“我有时喝一升酒就会醉,有时喝一百升酒才会醉。”
Puzzled, the king asked, "Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish another ninty litres?"
齐威王听了很奇怪。他问:“你喝一升已经醉了,怎么还会有喝一百升的道理呢?”
Chunyu Kun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under different conditions. He said, "This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it's sorrow's turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when you exceed the limits."

白雪公主是广泛流行于欧洲的一个童话故事中的人物,其中最著名的故事版本见于德国1812年的《格林童话》。讲述了白雪公主受到继母皇后(格林兄弟最初手稿中为生母)的虐待,逃到森林里,遇到七个小矮人的故事。下面是读文网小编为大家带来白雪公主的英语故事带翻译,希望大家喜欢!
从前,有一个王后,她坐在窗户旁。窗外的花园里积满了雪,山上是雪,小路上是雪,树上和屋顶上也积着雪,万物一片白茫茫。她手中拿着些布和一枚针,她手中的不就像雪一样洁白。王后正在为小孩做一件上衣,她说:“我想我的孩子能够像这布一样白,想雪一样白,我要叫她'白雪公主'。”
几天之后,王后生了个小孩,这个孩子白得像雪一样,王后给她取名为“白雪公主”。但是,王后得了重病,几天以后就去世了。白雪公主活了下来,她是一个十分幸福和美丽的孩子。
王后去世一年以后,国王又娶了一位王后。新王后十分漂亮,但是,她不是一个善良的女人。一个巫师给了新王后一面镜子,这面镜子会说话,它挂在王后房间的墙上,每天王后照着镜子,欣赏自己多么漂亮。当她照镜子的时候,她问:“告诉我,墙上的魔镜,谁是世界上最漂亮的人?”于是魔镜开口说道:“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”
过了数年,白雪公主长成大人了。当白雪公主是一个年轻姑娘时,有一天,王后照着镜子说:“告诉我,墙上的魔镜,谁是世界上最漂亮的?”魔镜说:“白雪公主是世界上最漂亮的。”
当王后听到这些话时,非常恼怒,她说:“白雪公主没有我漂亮,没有一个人比我更漂亮。”然后,王后坐在床上哭了。一小时后,王后从她的房间走出来,她叫来一个仆人说:“把白雪公主带到森林中杀掉。”
仆人带着白雪公主到了森林,但他没有杀死她,因为她太美丽太善良了。他说:“我不会杀死你的,但是,你不能回王宫,因为,王后很生气,她会看到你的。如果王后发现你,她会让别人杀死你的。你就呆在森林里,会有朋友来帮助你的。”然后,他走了。
可怜的白雪公主坐在一棵树底下哭了,这时,她看到天快黑了,她说:“我不哭了,我要找所房子今晚好睡觉,我不能呆在这儿了,熊会吃了我的。”她往森林深处走去,这时,她发现了一座小屋,她打开小屋的门,走了进去。在小屋里,她看到七张小床,还有一张桌子,桌子上有七块小面包和七个小杯子。她吃了其中一块面包,然后说:“我想喝点水。”于是,她又喝了一个杯子中的一些水。之后,她躺在一张小床上睡着了。
这座小屋是七个小矮人的家。当天黑下来的时候,七个小矮人回到小屋。每个小矮人都留着一副大胡子,穿一件小蓝上衣。小矮人进了小屋,每个人都点上他们的小灯,然后,小矮人都坐下,开始吃面包,喝小杯里的水。
但是,一个小矮人说:“有人把我小面包吃了。”另一个小矮人说:“有人把我的小杯子里的水喝了。”然后,七个小矮人去睡觉。可是一个小矮人说:“有人正睡在我的小床上。”七个小矮人都过来看睡在小矮人床上的白雪公主。他们说:“她真漂亮。”
白雪公主醒了,发现七个留着大胡子的小矮人正站在她床旁,她很害怕。小矮人们说:“别害怕,我们是你的好朋友,告诉我们你是怎么来这儿的。”白雪公主说:“我告诉你们。”接着她就给他们讲述了自己的经历。他们说:“不要害怕。就在这儿和我们住在一起,但是,我们不在家的时候,你一定要关上门,千万别出去。如果你出去了,坏王后会发现你,这样,她知道你没有死,会让人来杀死你。”于是,白雪公主和七个小矮人在这座小屋里生活着。
几天以后,白雪公主去了一趟花园。王后的一个仆人正经过这片森林,他发现了阿。他回去告诉了王后:“白雪公主在森林的一座小屋里。”王后听说白雪公主没有死,十分恼火。
王后拿来一个苹果,她在苹果红的一边挖了一个洞,把一些毒的粉末放在这个洞里。然后,她穿上一身旧衣服,去了小屋。她喊:“屋里有人吗?”白雪公主打开门,出来见她。王后说:“我有一些漂亮的苹果,吃一个尝尝吧?”白雪公主拿着苹果说:“这好吃吗?”王后说:“瞧,我吃苹果白的一半,你吃红的一半,你会知道它味道不错。”白雪公主吃了苹果红的一半,当粉末进入她嘴里时,她倒下去死了。
王后回到家,进了自己的房间,对着镜子说:“告诉我,墙上的魔镜,谁是世界上最漂亮的。”魔镜说:“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”于是,王后知道白雪公主已经死了。
小矮人们回到小屋,发现白雪公主死了。可怜的小矮人们全都哭了。然后,他们把白雪公主放进玻璃棺材里,并把它抬到山坡上,安放在那里,说:“每位经过这里的人都会看见她是多么美丽。”接着每个小矮人在棺材上放了一朵白花,然后离开了。
他们刚刚要离开,一位王子从此经过,他看着玻璃棺材说:“那是什么?”这时,他发现白雪公主躺在里面,他说:“她太美丽了,把能把她放在这里,在父亲的王宫里有一座大厅,整个大厅都是用白石头砌成,我们把玻璃棺材搬到那所漂亮的白石大厅里。”小矮人们说:“抬走她吧。”
然后,王子告诉他的仆人抬起棺材。他们抬起它时,不巧一个仆人跌倒了。把棺材也摔到地上,白雪公主随同棺材跌了下来,那块苹果从她嘴里掉了出来,她醒了过来,坐起来说:“我这是在哪儿?”王子说:“你跟我在一起,我从来没有见过一位像你这么美丽的人,跟我来,做我的王后吧。”王子和白雪公主结婚了,她成了王后。
一个人去把这些消息告诉了坏王后,当她听到这些,气得倒下死去了。从那以后,白雪公主一直生活得很幸福。每年小矮人们都来看她。

A little old lady goes to the doctor ... and says, "Doctor, I have this problem with gas, but it doesn't really bother me too much. They never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here in your office. You didn't know I was farting because they don't smell and are silent." The doctor says, "I see. Here's a prescription. Take these pills 3 times a day for seven days and come back to see me next week." The next week the lady goes back. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts ... although still silent... stink terribly." The doctor says, "Good! Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's start working on your hearing."

幽默英语小故事1:
A friend of mine was giving an English lesson to a class of adult who had recently come to live in the United States.
After placing quite a number of everyday objects on a table, he asked various members of the class to give him the ruler, the book, the pen and so on. The class went very smoothly and the students seemed interested and serious about the work that they were engaged in until when my friend turned to an Italian student and said, "Give me the keys."
The man looked surprised and somewhat at a loss. Seeing this, my friend thought that the student hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated. "Give me the keys." The Italian shruggedhis shoulders. Then, he threw his arms around the teacher's neck and kissed him on both cheeks.
我的一位朋友在给一个成人学生班级上英语课。他们都是新近来美国生活的。
在一张桌子上摆了许多日常用品之后,他请全班同学给他挑出尺子,书本,钢笔等。课进行得井然有序,学生们对自己所做的似乎很感兴趣,也很认真。后来轮到一名来自意大利的学生,我的朋友说:“给我钥匙。”
那人看起来非常吃惊,也有点手足无措。看到这种情况,我的朋友想是他没有听清楚,于是又重复了一遍:“给我钥匙。”那位意大利学生耸了耸肩。接着,他伸出胳膊搂住老师的脖子在双颊上亲了两下。
幽默英语小故事2:
One of my favorite teachers at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau was known of his droll(滑稽的) sense of humor. Explaining his ground rules to one freshmanclass, he said, "Now I know my lectures can often be dry and boring, so I don't mind if you look at your watches during class. I do, however, object to your pounding them on the desk to make sure they're still running."
位于吉拉多海角的密苏里东南州立大学有一位我非常喜欢的老师,他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在对一个新生班级讲解他的基本原则时,他说:“我知道我的讲课可能经常会枯燥乏味,了无生趣,所以如果你们在上课时看表我并不介意。不过我坚决反对你们将表在课桌上猛敲看它们是不是还在走。”
幽默英语小故事3:
A shoplifter(商店扒手) was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from a jewelry store. "Listen," said the shoplifter, "I know you don't want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch, and we forget about this?"
The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook(骗子,坏蛋) looked at the slip and said, "This is a little more than I intended to spend."

一只蝴蝶想要找一个恋人。自然,他想要在群花中找到一位可爱的小恋人。因此他就把她们都看了一遍。每朵花都是安静地、端庄地坐在梗子上,正如一个姑娘在没有订婚时那样坐着。可是她们的数目非常多,选择很不容易。蝴蝶不愿意招来麻烦,因此就飞到雏菊那儿去。法国人把这种小花叫做"玛加丽特"(注:原文是"Margreth",这个字是"雏菊"的意思;欧美有许多女子用这个字作为名字。)。他们知道,她能作出预言。她是这样作的:情人们把她的花瓣一起一起地摘下来,每摘一起情人就问一个关于他们恋人的事情:"热情吗?--痛苦吗?--非常爱我吗?只爱一点吗?--完全不爱吗?"以及诸如此类的问题。每个人可以用自己的语言问。蝴蝶也来问了;但是他不摘下花瓣,却吻起每片花瓣来。因为他认为只有善意才能得到最好的回答。
"亲爱的'玛加丽特'雏菊!"他说,"你是一切花中最聪明的女人。你会作出预言!我请求你告诉我,我应该娶这一位呢,还是娶那一位?我到底会得到哪一位呢?如果我知道的话,就可以直接向她飞去,向她求婚。"
可是"玛加丽特"不回答他。她很生气,因为她还不过是一个少女,而他却已把她称为"女人";这究竟有一个分别呀。他问了第二次,第三次。当他从她得不到半个字的回答的时候,就不再愿意问了。他飞走了,并且立刻开始他的求婚活动。
这正是初春的时候,番红花和雪形花正在盛开。
"她们非常好看,"蝴蝶说,"简直是一群情窦初开的可爱的小姑娘,但是太不懂世事。"他像所有的年轻小伙子一样,要寻找年纪较大一点的女子。
于是他就飞到秋牡丹那儿去。照他的胃口说来,这些姑娘未免苦味太浓了一点。紫罗兰有点太热情;郁金香太华丽;黄水仙太平民化;菩提树花太小,此外她们的亲戚也太多;苹果树花看起来倒很像玫瑰,但是她们今天开了,明天就谢了--只要风一吹就落下来了。他觉得跟她们结婚是不会长久的。豌豆花最逗人爱:她有红有白,既娴雅,又柔嫩。她是家庭观念很强的妇女,外表既漂亮,在厨房里也很能干。当他正打算向她求婚的时候,看到这花儿的近旁有一个豆荚--豆荚的尖端上挂着一朵枯萎了的花。
"这是谁?"他问。
"这是我的姐姐,"
"乖乖!那么你将来也会像她一样了!"他说。
这使蝴蝶大吃一惊,于是他就飞走了。
金银花悬在篱笆上。像她这样的女子,数目还不少;她们都板平面孔,皮肤发黄。不成,他不喜欢这种类型的女子。
不过他究竟喜欢谁呢?你去问他吧!春天过去了,夏天也快要告一结束。现在是秋天了,但是他仍然犹豫不决。
现在花儿都穿上了她们最华丽的衣服,但是有什么用呢--她们已经失去了那种新鲜的、喷香的青春味儿。人上了年纪,心中喜欢的就是香味呀。特别是在天竺牡丹和干菊花中间,香味这东西可说是没有了。因此蝴蝶就飞向地上长着的薄荷那儿去。
"她可以说没有花,但是全身又都是花,从头到脚都有香气,连每一起叶子上都有花香。我要讨她!"
于是他就对她提出婚事。
薄荷端端正正地站着,一声不响。最后她说:
"交朋友是可以的,但是别的事情都谈不上。我老了,你也老了,我们可以彼此照顾,但是结婚--那可不成!像我们这样大的年纪,不要自己开自己的玩笑吧!"
这么一来,蝴蝶就没有找到太太的机会了。他挑选太久了,不是好办法。结果蝴蝶就成了大家所谓的老单身汉了。
这是晚秋季节,天气多雨而阴沉。风儿把寒气吹在老柳树的背上,弄得它们发出飕飕的响声来。如果这时还穿着夏天的衣服在外面寻花问柳,那是不好的,因为这样,正如大家说的一样,会受到批评的。的确,蝴蝶也没有在外面乱飞。他乘着一个偶然的机会溜到一个房间里去了。这儿火炉里面生着火,像夏天一样温暖。他满可以生活得很好的,不过,"只是活下去还不够!"他说,"一个人应该有自由、阳光和一朵小小的花儿!"
他撞着窗玻璃飞,被人观看和欣赏,然后就被穿在一根针上,藏在一个小古董匣子里面。这是人们最欣赏他的一种表示。
"现在我像花儿一样,栖在一根梗子上了,"蝴蝶说。"这的确是不太愉快的。这几乎跟结婚没有两样,因为我现在算是牢牢地固定下来了。"
他用这种思想来安慰自己。
"这是一种可怜的安慰,"房子里的栽在盆里的花儿说。
"可是,"蝴蝶想,"一个人不应该相信这些盆里的花儿的话。她们跟人类的来往太密切了。"(1861年)
这篇小品,发表于1861年在哥本哈根出版的《丹麦大众历书》上。它充满了风趣,值得玩味,特别是对那些即将进入"单身汉"境地的人。最后一句话也颇有意思:"一个人不应该相信这些盆里的花儿的话。她们跟人类的来往太密切了。"

I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

Through the cold winter wasteland a man trudged, leaning into the harsh wind which spitefully tried to force him back. He was covered from head to toe in layers of thick clothing, layers of protection against the harsh environment. On he fought, searching, searching. He was working so hard. This must be the way.
在寒冷的冬季,以为男子在荒地中的前行举步维艰,狂风肆虐几乎要将他吹倒。他从头到脚包裹着厚厚的衣物,用来抵御这恶劣的环境。他不遗余力的寻找着,寻找着,一定有办法。
In the distance he saw what looked like steam rising out of the ground. It rose a few feet and then was quickly whipped away by the biting wind. He altered his course and turned towards the steam, gaining some blessed relief as he turned his chapped face out of the gale.
远远地他看见有蒸汽从地下往上冒,只有短短几英尺。接着狂风拖曳着他往回,他改变了方向超蒸汽那里出发,感谢上天他开裂的脸蛋不再曝露在狂风之中。
As he got closer, he thought he could make out voices. Their tone was unfamiliar to him - musical, relaxed and warm - their melody enticed him closer. Finally he got close enough to peer through the mist.
他渐渐走近,发现自己可以说话了。对方的声音听起来很陌生,但是如同音乐一般让人感觉到放松,温暖。他们的旋律吸引着他不断靠近。最后,在迷雾中他靠近了他们。
There before him was a remarkable sight. In the midst of the frozen wasteland, cut into the ground was a large pool. Several people were in the pool, they seemed to be floating easily without any effort. As they saw him approach, a woman called out to him.
在旅人面前呈现出一个奇妙的场景。在刺骨寒冷的湿地中,地面上有这么大一个池塘。有不少人在其中,毫不费力地在池中飘来飘去。在旅人靠近之时,一位女士叫住了他。
"Come in here. It is lovely and warm. You can just lie back and relax," said the woman.
“进来吧,这里温暖舒适。你可以躺下放松。”女士说道。
"I can't. There are no steps." The man replied.
“我不能,这里都没有台阶。”旅人答道。
"Just jump in. It really is lovely in here. Come on. Theoure's plenty of room for another." Another of the floaters joined in the persuasion.
“只要跳进来就好了,这里很棒,快点,还有不少位子呢。”池中其他人也附和说道。
"But what if I don't like it, how will I get out? The sides are too high to reach up to."
“但是如果我不喜欢这里了,怎么出来?边缘太高很难出来。”
"Believe me, you won't want to get out. Come on. It is so good in here."
“相信我,你不会想要出来的,快点进来,这里真的很好。”
But he decided not to jump in. And that was a wise decision.
但他没有往下跳。而这是个明治的选择。
