One year, there was a great famine in the State of Qi.
有一年,齐国发生了特大的饥荒。
A rich man named Qian Ao set up a stall by the roadside with lots of food, waiting for hungrypeople to come to give it in charity.
有个富人,名叫黔敖。他在大路旁边设摊,摆了许多食物,等饥饿的人来了,就施舍给他们。
After a short while, an awfully hungry man walked over, with his head covered by his sleeve andhis shoes tied up with strings.
不一会儿,一个饿得发慌的人,用衣袖蒙着头,用绳子绑着鞋,昏昏沉沉地走了过来。
When Qian Ao saw this, he held food in his left hand and tea in his right, shouting:
黔敖见了,左手捧着食物,右手拿着茶水,吃喝道:
"Hey, come and eat your fill."
“喂!来吃个饱吧!”
The man raised his head suddenly, opening his eyes wide and said angrily:
那个人猛地抬起头来,双眼圆睁,生气地说:
"It is exactly because I don't want to take this kind of hand-out food given by people shoutingcharity that I have starved to such an extent!"
“我就是因为不吃这种人家吃喝着施舍的食物,才饿到这种地步的啊!”
As soon as Qian Ao heard this, he quickly apologized to the man.
黔敖一听,连忙向他表示歉意。
But eventually the man starved to death because he was unwilling to take the food.
但那人终因不肯吃他的东西而饿死了。
In ancient times, at the foot of Mount Tai surrounded by mountains, one often heard of tales oftigers devouring people.
古代,在群山环抱的泰山脚下,常常听到老虎吃人的事情。
One day, Confucius and his disciples passed by Mount Tai.
有一天,孔子带着弟子路过泰山。
As they walked along, his disciples talked about what they had heard and seen.
弟子们一边走,一边谈论着所见所闻。
Suddenly, they heard someone weeping in the distance.
忽然,听到远处传来哭声。
They went over and saw a young woman who, with her head covered with a white kerchief, worewhite cotton clothes, trousers, shoes and stockings.
大家便走了过去,一看原来是一个年轻的妇女,头上包着白色的头巾,身上穿着白布衣裤,脚上套着白布鞋袜。
She was kneeling in front of a new grave and weeping bitterly.
正跪在一座新坟前面痛哭。
The disciples didn't know what to do. Confucius ordered one of them to go forward and ask: "Who has died? Why are you weeping in such sorrow?"
弟子们不知如何是好,孔子叫弟子上前询问:“死了谁?你为什么哭得这么伤心?”
The woman raised her head, wiped her red and swollen eyes, sobbed and answeredintermittently:"In the past, my father-in-law was devoured by a tiger.
妇女抬起头来,擦着红肿的眼睛,抽泣着断断续续地回答:“从前,我的公公被老虎吃掉了。
Later, my husband was devoured by a tiger too.
后来,我的丈夫又被老虎吃掉了。
Now my son has also been bitten to death by a tiger."
如今,我的儿子也被老虎咬死了。”
Confucius' disciple asked worriedly: "The tiger harmed the lives of three generations of yourfamily.
孔子的弟子着急地问道:“老虎伤害了你家三代人的性命。
Why didn't you leave this place earlier and move to somewhere else?"
你为什么不早点儿离开这里,搬到别处去呢?”
The woman sobbed, saying: "There are tigers here, but there are no exorbitant taxes, levies orheavy corvee here!"
妇女哭着说:“这里有老虎,但是没有苛捐杂税和繁重的摇役啊!
When Confucius heard this, he turned to his disciples and said: "Remember, tigers devourpeople, but tyranny is fiercer than tigers!"
孔子听到这儿,回过头来,对弟子们说: “你们记住,老虎吃人,可是苛政比老虎还要凶猛啊!”
Huan Gong, King of the State of Qi and the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, inorder to show his sincerity to enlist able and virtuous men and scholars from various places,had a bright torch lit in front of his palace day and night.
春秋时期的第一霸王齐桓公,为了表明自己招贤纳士的诚意,在宫廷前燃起了明亮的火炬,准备日夜接待各地前来的人才。
But the torch had been burning for one whole year, and yet nobody came.
但是,火炬燃烧了整整一年,也没有人前来求见。
One day, a villager from the eastern suburb of the capital wished to have an audience with HuanGong, claiming that he had the ability to recite the multiplication table.
一天,来了一个国都东郊的乡下人,声称自己有念九九算术口诀的才能,要求拜见齐桓公。
When Huan Gong heard of this, he thought it was very funny and sent an officer to tell thevillager:
齐桓公听完报告,觉得很可笑,派传令官告诉乡下人:
"How could you hope to see the King just because you can recite the multiplication table?"
“难道你凭会念九九算术口诀,就想来见国王吗?”
The villager replied: "I hear that the torch before the palace has been burning for one year, yetnobody came.
乡下人回答说:“我听说,宫前火炬燃烧了一年,也没有人来求见。
This is because His Majesty is a king of great talent and bold vision.
这是因为国王是个雄才大略的君主。
All the talented men near and far couldn't be certain that His Majesty would have a highopinion of them, so they dared not come to see you.
四方人才都以为君主不一定能看得上他们,所以不敢来求见。
My knowledge of the multiplication table is truly trivial, but if His Majesty could receive me withcourtesy, then His Majesty need not worry that those with real ability and learning would notcome."
我的九九算术口诀,的确是微不足道的,但是如果国王能以礼接待我,那么还怕那些有真才实学的贤士能人不愿来吗?”
He then continued: "Mount Tai is huge because it never expels any single small stone; the sea isdeep because it gathers together every small stream.
接着说:“泰山之所以大,那是因为它从来不排斥每一颗小石子;江海之所以深,那是因为它汇集起每一条小溪流。
The Book of Songs says: `The wise kings of ancient times often went to peasants who cutfirewood and grass to ask for their advice. Only this way can you pool the wisdom of themasses."'
《诗经》中说过,‘古代英明君王有事,都去请教砍柴割草的农夫,只有这样才能集思广益。”,
Hearing this, Huan Gong of Qi repeatedly nodded assent, and accorded this villager a grandreception.
齐桓公听了,连连点头称是,立刻以隆重的礼节,接待了这个乡下人。
As expected, within one month, many able and virtuous men from all places came one afteranother to see Huan Gong.
果然,不出一个月,四方贤士能人都纷纷前来求见齐桓公。
英语作为高一必修的一门课程,对于初中阶段和高中阶段的 英语学习 起着承前启后的关键作用。下面是我整理的 高一英语 短文,欢迎阅读!高一英语短文篇一 Redifine Yourself How do you difine yourself? As a mother, father, daughter or any one of a myriad different titles? Or do you define yourself by other's perception of you? Do any of these come close to your own knowledge, your personal experience of whom you really are? In your quiet moments, in times of inexplicable joy, have you had the overwhelming and yet clear and lucid feeling of total invincibility -- a feeling that nothing can hold you down, that you can accomplish anything and everything if you put your mind to it? Well, that feeling is not a random one. What is ti that gets in the way of your exquisite power? In fact, the infinite power that is naturally present in each and every one of us by virtue of own consicousness, can be rendered ineffectived if not tended to properly. The stress of our lifestyle, the pollution of our environment, and the collective stress of our world keeps us from functioning at our full potential. But there are remedies: incorporate modalities in your lifesyle that effectively combat stress and help keep you centered. Some of these opinions are: Be aware of what you eat, what you use -- both on yourself, and in your environment. Choose natural, organic products. Live a life of kindness, compassion, and charity -- it keeps you connected to your center, your source, that infinite reservoir within you that is your powerhouse. Don't judge people, or situation -- approach each moment with the potential of any number of possibilities. To connect with your real nature that is unbounded and invincible, practice yoga and mediation Once you are in touch with your true nature, then nothing is beyond your means-- you are truly empowered. And that is an accurate definition of you! 高一英语短文篇二 Think What You Are! Carbon and oxygen taken together, one atom each, gives you the deadly gas carbon monoxide. On the other hand, these very two elements on some other proportion provide us with carbon dioxide, the harmless gas. When these basic elements can behave in this way so can the human mind! All human beings inhale the air from this very earth, consume nearly the same kind of food and live under the same sky gaining energy from its only source Sun. Then what makes an individual distinct from each other? It's the attitude, the behavior that distinguishes one from other person. The thought process going on in our brains is what differs. Solely our brains control our body, which in turn controls our living, our peace and happiness and overall progress as an individual. What we input is what we get. What we think is what we develop into. What we feed into our brains is what we get the outcome as. On reaping good thoughts and positive attitude in our minds the good follows. Bad thoughts creeping in should be plucked and thrown off as soon as possible. Human body takes commands from its brains and works. Our brains are functional always. So any kind of thought nurtured in our brains remain there even when we are not aware of their presence. These thoughts are processed without our conscious and the result follows. These outcomes can change our lives. At times when wrong words are spoken, they remain in our sub-conscious minds, without our awareness, and the wrong follows. Brain as a physical thing is not aware of what is right and what is wrong. When we think about things in some way and the perspective with what we look at them for the first time remain in our mind. Our mind intends to take this perspective as true and makes way for it to follow. So on thinking well the good happens and wrong thought brings unhappy situations. Human beings learn from the situations faced in life and their thinking is affected by the circumstances faced. This in turn affects the thinking. Thus our life and our thoughts are mutually related. To lead a good life it is desired to think good. So is rightly said, "What you think is not what you are… but what you THINK is what you are!" 高一英语短文篇三 Kiss of Reality To talk of illusions, are't they great? Illusion or day dreaming help us to think of what we want to become in life. We literally see how life revolves us in that position. It's an entirely different world of pleasure, comfort and imagination. Most of our day dreaming or illusions make us more and more egocentric. The word ego means self. Hence by dreaming and visualization we become self-centered. We never realize that things we dream of can be achieved by us by programming ourselves to work for it. But somehow the pleasure of dreaming ourselves as someone important takes us away from the realistic approach to achieve that level of self-satisfaction and self-accomplishment. This leads to an increase in the frustration levels of our mind. Why frustrations? This is because what we are, and what we dream of are totally different. We raise ourselves to a very high pedestal and we see that we are not able to live up to our expectations. And when this happens, we become mentally restless. The vital solution that will dissolve all our problems is to make up our minds to get realistic. This approach will make us come in terms with reality. And there is no better road to self-improvement rather than the path of reality. When you gauge yourself, you subconsciously make two columns in your mind. One consists of the things that you are good at, and the other consists of the ares where you can improve. And believe it will boost us to work on our weak areas and strengthen them. Fortifying your weak areas will harness your conscience and improve you convert would be to must be. And when someting must happen, it always happens. This new you will improve you for the better and increase your levels of self-esteem.It will change your outlook to things. I would like to type the thoughts that have just sprung up in my mind. Read and ponder on each line.I admit that it's a sad aim at poetry, but I am allowing my mind to control my typing. If you want to achieve what you couldn't have If you want to be what you want to be If you want to do what you can do, but aren't doing If there is a place,you want to be but haven't been You will get there, become the one and do it Cos its all in a state of mind. Make up your mind and rule the stars. Control your mind and make your fate. I hope this conveys my thoughts with clarity. So it's some advice and suggestion to all those eyeballs running through this part of the book, to keep their heads on their shoulders without using heads and shoulders! And believe me guys; you guys have it in you to make it big. Just don't let that teenage iconoclastic habit rule over sense.
