翻译：老故事咂出新滋味

铁杵磨成针的故事告诉我们：白费力气的事尽管感人但却是可笑的。明明买根针就能做活，非要用根大铁棒磨它个三年两载。方向和方法错了，功夫下的再深也不行。

三顾茅庐的故事告诉我们：机遇是等来的。如果孔明先生主动上门求职，就不见得有这样的效果。不过，这话只适合古代，现代人即使比孔明的本事大十倍，坐在家里干等也不见得有机遇出现。天知道重视人才的观念是进步了还是退步了。

龟兔赛跑的故事告诉我们：永远不要以己之短比别人之长，更不要因一时的侥幸成功把短当成长。如果是乌龟，可以跟兔子比潜水，也可以跟兔子比长寿，这才是乌龟的强项。

井底的之蛙故事告诉我们：什么样的环境早就什么样的人生，反过来也同样，什么样的人生适合什么样的环境。别指责青蛙的短浅愚昧，因为蛙绝不可能从井底迁到东海生存。如果蛙受了教育启发，从此志在东海，那只有徒增烦恼了。

武松打虎的故事告诉我们：英雄有时是被逼出来的。武松胆儿再大也是正常人，没有人不拍老虎的道理。要不是犟脾气加上十五碗小酒，决不回去做打虎的壮举。其实他也没想到会遇上老虎，真的遇上反而酒都被吓醒了，说明他并不是真的想当英雄。不是他死就是虎亡，他把自己逼成了英雄。现实的很多典型与此很类似，每一个英雄的出现都是有前提的。

螳臂当车的故事告诉我们：即便粉身碎骨，也要为改变现状做一些看似无效的努力。也许，当轮前的螳臂多了，车会慢下来或者停下来。

英语励志小故事6：Look Ahead

Once a friendsuggested me: “Look ahead when you are sad. ”

It is this weirdthat ever when I am in sad, I am always bow my head or shut my eyes regardlesshis suggestion. Even when I catch a glimpse of the sky with stars, but again at sea. When I am depressed, my visionnarrowed.

This friend has alovely and smart daughter and so charming like a flower in dancing. But, she isunable to see the outside world clearly. My friend ever so grieve that he wasso pessimistic. No other aids seem to help him, but he gained the delight aftera journey of hardship with looking ahead that the crucial life taught him.

Look ahead, hehas witnessed his daughter’s experience

journey----she is more beautiful andtamer and can take care of herself. She dresses her black excise cloth, withwhite dancing shoes, black and high-twist hair style with lighting belt; she isalways smile, indicating her charming youth in her mouth; she becomes strong inmind and smart, live on herself. As preferred, she becomes a warmly receiveddancing teacher?

The God is alwaysabsent when we knock His door. The great poet 朗费罗 could not help commending,“Your你的命运一如他人，每个生命都会下雨.” When it rains and we feel sad, it is worthlooking ahead. If one minute is not enough, then take one more. Looking againand again with a long time, or even your whole life and your love and hope. Seewhether所有的雨都

会停; see the sky after rain if it is cleaner, vaster, more fantastic and seewhether there is rainbow in magic.

There is alwaysthe time the God go home; the stop for rain and the hope and joyous ahead.

翻译：看着前方

一个朋友对我说:“当你忧伤时，请看着前方。”

说来也怪，每当自己忧伤时，我很少看着前方，不是低低垂首，就是闭目不瞻，即便抬头仰望星空，也是越看越茫然。忧伤时，自己的视野真的窄了。

这个朋友有一个冰雪聪明的女儿，美丽得像朵舞蹈着的花，但她完全看不到外边的世界。朋友曾经伤心欲绝，但没有人能够帮助到他疗伤，是残酷的生活教会他看着前方，发现和拥有那些前行一段路程才能得到的喜悦。

看着前方，他看到已经长大的女儿——她更加漂亮乖巧，学会了自己照顾自己;她穿上了黑色的练功服、白色的舞蹈鞋，黑黑的头发盘得高高的，用发光的发带竖了起来;她时刻微笑着，那是汇集在她嘴角的点点明媚的春光;她变得坚强睿智，能够自食其力，如她所愿，果真成了一名受人欢迎的舞蹈老师、、、、、、

我们敲门时，上帝总是不在家。诗人朗费罗为此感慨不已：“你的命运一如他人，每个生命都会下雨。”下雨时，忧伤时，最值得做的事情就像这位朋友所说的:看着前方!一分钟不行，再看一分钟，久久地看，一次又一次地看，用一生的经历来看，用最真的爱满怀着希望来看。看看是不是“所有的雨都会停”，看看雨后的天空是不是更洁净、更辽远、更美丽，是不是还会奇迹般地出现彩虹。

上帝总有回家的时候，雨水总会停下，前方总有希望和喜悦。

英语励志小故事7：How Important It is

There isa suitcase for you with a million US dollar in .

Thesuitcase is placed in a building away from you about one hour driving. Thecondition is, you need to get there within two hours. If you did, I will giveyou the suitcase with a million US dollar. Or if you late for only one minute,nothing will you get. When would you get about?

Manywould say: “Now.” will you?

Now youset out. You hurry into your car, start it, drive for the building. You are soexcited and wonder what to do about the one million US dollars. All of a sudden,you are stopped by the traffic jam. You turn on the radio and find there is noany way to get there because of the accident on your way. What will you do neststep? Go back? Or step out your car, go to the building on foot (running oremploy a helicopter or other ways)?

If, youare on the way to the dentist’s office and there is a traffic jam, surely youwould turn back and appoit for another time.

Why isthere difference between these two thins? Because of the destination. If it isquite important for you, you will conquer it, regardless any hardship; or ifyit is not so serious, you may call it a day.

Therefore,the best way to face the difficulty is to make the thing a business.

翻译：事情有多重要

我有一个手提箱要给你，里面有100万美元现金。手提箱放在离你现在住的地方大约1小时车程的一幢大楼上，条件是：你要在2小时内到达那幢大楼。如果在2个小时之内到，我就把皮箱交给你，你就多了100万美元。但是只要你迟到一分钟，你就一分钱都得不到。那么你什么时候出发去拿幢大楼呢?

很多人会回答：“现在就去。”你呢?

你出发了。跳上你的车，发动，向那幢大楼方向开去。你相当激动，计划着怎样花那100万美元。突然，路上堵车了，你的车子开不动了。你打开收音机，发现在你和那幢大楼之间发生了重大交通事故，你没有别的路可以到达那里。你会怎么办?你会打道回府吗?或者打开车门走出来，走路(跑步或雇用直升飞机或用别的方法)去那幢大楼?

如果你去看牙医，在路上也发生堵车，你肯定会转回家，跟牙医约另一天。 这两种情况为什么会不一样?因为出行的目的是不同的。如果你要做的事情对你非常重要，再大的困难你都会设法克服; 如果你觉得要做的事情不是很重要，遇到困难你就会放弃了。

所以，克服困难的最好的方法，就是把你要做的事情看得非常重要。

英语励志小故事8：All Slopes are Easy toGo

He was a professor. At the age of 90, hestill work eight hours everyday regardless the season and weather.

His secretary said: “He is extremely old,but he forced himself walk from his living place to office through two blocks.It would take him an hour, but he insisted to because it makes him get a senseof success. ”

The other day, an university student stepout from his office with a pile of books. He complained emotionally: “He isalways this man. He may answer me just with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to my question.However, he always gave me dozens of books and suggests me to find the answer.”

Later, he knew what this studentcomplained. He told with smile: “This is the method I have learnt, a hard andtroublesome way. If that kid could make full use of those books, he might knowhis question and maybe a good lawyer in the future.”

This 90-year-old man was 庞德, who was the president of law college in HawardUniversity.

Once a philosophist said: “You should dosome thing that you don not want to every one or two days.”

This is the foundation of life progress.

Just like another phlosophist said: “allslopes are easy to go. ”

翻译：容易走的都是下坡路

他在一所大学做教授，90岁的时候，荏苒每天坚持工作8小时，不论春秋冬夏，也不论风霜雨雪。

他的秘书说：“他很衰弱，但是每天逼着自己从住的地方走过两个街口到办公室来，这段路要走一个小时，他却一定要走，因为这使他自觉有成就感。”

有一天，有个大学生从他办公室里出来，捧着一大堆书，一脸不高兴的抱怨：“总是这一套。我问一个和简单的问题，他可以用一个’是’或’否’回答，却给我十几本书，说可以在这些书里找到我所要的答案。”

他后来知道了这个学生的抱怨，微笑着说：“这就是我学到的读书方法，艰难费事的方法。那孩子如能好好的钻研这些书，就可以了解这个问题，将来也许能成为一个好律师。”

这个90岁的老人就是曾任美国哈佛大学法学院院长的庞德。

有一位哲学家说：“你应该每一两天做一些你不想做的事。”

这是人生进步的基础。

正如另一位哲人所说“容易走的都是下坡路。”
