小王子是一个超凡脱俗的仙童，他住在一颗只比他大一丁点儿的小行星上。陪伴他的是一朵他非常喜爱的小玫瑰花。但玫瑰花的虚荣心伤害了小王子对她的感情。小王子告别小行星，开始了遨游太空的旅行。他先后访问了六个行星，各种见闻使他陷入忧伤，他感到大人们荒唐可笑、太不正常。只有在其中一个点灯人的星球上，小王子才找到一个可以作为朋友的人。但点灯人的天地又十分狭小，除了点灯人他自己，不能容下第二个人。在地理学家的指点下，孤单的小王子来到人类居住的地球。

小王子发现人类缺乏想象力，只知像鹦鹉那样重复别人讲过的话。小王子这时越来越思念自己星球上的那枝小玫瑰。后来，小王子遇到一只小狐狸，小王子用耐心征服了小狐狸，与它结成了亲密的朋友。小狐狸把自己心中的秘密——肉眼看不见事务的本质，只有用心灵才能洞察一切——作为礼物，送给小王子。用这个秘密，小王子在撒哈拉大沙漠与遇险的飞行员一起找到了生命的泉水。最后，小王子在蛇的帮助下离开地球，重新回到他的B612号小行星上。

童话描写小王子没有被成人那骗人的世界所征服，而最终找到自己的理想。这理想就是连结宇宙万物的爱，而这种爱又是世间所缺少的。因此，小王子常常流露出一种伤感的情绪。作者圣埃克絮佩里在献辞中说：这本书是献给长成了大人的从前那个孩子。

《小王子》不仅赢得了儿童读者，也为成年人所喜爱，作品凝练的语言渗透了作者对人类及人类文明深邃的思索。它所表现出的讽刺与幻想，真情与哲理，使之成为法国乃至世界上最为著名的一部童话小说。

朱莉安娜·贝克虔诚地相信三件事：树是圣洁的，特别是她最爱的无花果树;她在后院里饲养的鸡下的蛋是最卫生的;总有一天她会和布莱斯·罗斯基接吻。二年级时，在看到布莱斯蓝眼睛的那一瞬间，朱莉的心就被他击中了。不幸的是，布莱斯对她从来都没有感觉。而且，他认为朱莉有点怪，怎么会有人把养鸡和坐在树上看成乐趣呢?没想到，到了八年级，布莱斯开始觉得朱莉不同寻常的兴趣和对于家庭的自豪感使她显得很有魅力。而朱莉则开始觉得布莱斯漂亮的蓝眼睛也许和他本人一样，其实很空洞。毕竟，怎么会有人不把别人对树和鸡的感觉当回事呢? 文德琳·范·德拉安南编著的《怦然心动》是在网络获得极高赞誉的电影《怦然心动》的同名原著，描述了青春期中男孩女孩之间的`有趣战争。

《芒果街上的小屋》是一本优美纯净的小书，一本“诗小说”。它由几十个短篇组成，一个短篇讲述一个人、一件事、一个梦想、几朵云，几棵树、几种感觉，语言清澈如流水，点缀着零落的韵脚和新奇的譬喻，如一首首长歌短调，各自成韵，又彼此钩连，汇聚出一个清晰世界，各样杂沓人生。所有的讲述都归于一个叙述中心：居住在芝加哥拉美移民社区芒果街上的女孩埃斯佩朗莎(埃斯佩朗莎，是西班牙语里的希望)。生就对弱的同情心和对美的感觉力，她用清澈的眼打量周围的世界，用美丽稚嫩的语言讲述成长，讲述沧桑，讲述生命的美好与不易，讲述年轻的热望和梦想，梦想着有一所自己的房子，梦想着在写作中追寻自我，获得自由和帮助别人的能力。

《傲慢与偏见》是简·奥斯汀的代表作，是一部描写爱情与婚姻的经典小说。作品以男女主人公达西和伊丽莎白由于傲慢和偏见而产生的爱情纠葛为线索，共写了四起姻缘：伊丽莎白与达西、简与宾利、莉迪亚与威克姆、夏洛蒂与柯林斯。伊丽莎白、简和莉迪亚是贝内特家五个女儿中的三个姐妹，而夏洛蒂则是她们的邻居，也是伊丽莎白的朋友。男主人公达西与宾利是好友，且与威克姆一起长大，而柯林斯则是贝内特家的远房亲戚。

贝内特夫妇五个女儿待字闺中，没有子嗣，依照当时法律，他们死后家产须由远房内侄柯林斯继承，因此把五个女儿嫁到有钱人家，成了贝内特太太最大的心愿。宾利，一位未婚富家子弟，租赁了贝内特家附近的内瑟菲尔德庄园，成为众人注目的焦点和谈论的话题。不久，宾利就与美丽贤淑的大小姐简相爱了。宾利的朋友达西对聪明直率的二小姐伊丽莎白颇有好感，却因在一次舞会上出言不逊使伊丽莎白对他心存偏见。品行不端的威克姆告诉伊丽莎白，他是达西庄园已故总管的儿子，与达西一起长大，达西的父亲先前许诺给他的教职，被达西无端剥夺了。而达西则因为伊丽莎白的母亲及其他妹妹的缘故，劝说宾利中止与简的关系，结果四人不欢而散。威克姆对达西的诋毁，以及达西的劝说对简造成的伤害进一步加深了伊丽莎白对达西的偏见。

柯林斯为心安理得地继承财产，决定从贝内特家五个漂亮的女儿之中挑选一个“妻子”，于是向伊丽莎白求婚。遭到拒绝后，他马上转向尚未婚配急于找到“归宿”的夏洛蒂小姐，竟然得到应允。伊丽莎白应邀到新婚的柯林斯和夏洛蒂夫妇家中做客，不期遇见前来探望凯瑟琳夫人的达西。达西为伊丽莎白所倾倒，向她求婚，但因其言辞的傲慢，遭到伊丽莎白的愤然拒绝。同时，伊丽莎白指责达西对威克姆冷酷无情，更不应该破坏宾利同简的爱情。事后达西写信为自己申辩，令伊丽莎白的偏见逐渐消除。

伊丽莎白随舅父舅妈出游时经过达西的庄园，以为达西不在，进去参观，不料达西突然归来，伊丽莎白感到十分窘迫。然而，达西丝毫没有以往的傲慢，非常热情地接待了他们。此时，伊丽莎白突然接到家信，得知威克姆带着妹妹莉迪亚私奔了!匆忙回家后，全家一筹莫展，不料达西暗访到两人的行踪，出资促成他们的婚事并安排了他们的生活，为贝内特一家保全了尊严。此事使伊丽莎白与达西尽释前嫌，宾利也和简重修旧好，最后有情人终成眷属。

本书讲述了一个渔夫的故事。古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续八十四天没捕到鱼的情况下，终于独自钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这鱼实在大，把他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边。在归程中，他再遭到一条鲨鱼的袭击，最后回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。而在老圣地亚哥出海的日子里，他的忘年好友一直在海边忠诚地等待，满怀信心地迎接着他的归来。

The Frog Prince 青蛙王子 Many, many years ago, there lived a king. He had many beautiful daughters. And the youngest one was very lovely, and even the sun was surprised to see her when he shone on her face. Near the king's castle lay a dark, gloomy forest. In the middle of the forest there was a fountain. One day, the king' s daughter went into the forest when it was very hot. She sat down on the side of the cool fountain. Then she began to toss a golden ball in the air, and catch it. It was a most interesting game to her. Once, however, the king' s daughter failed to catch the golden ball. It fell on the ground, and rolled into the water. The princess followed it with her eyes, but soon it disappeared. The water was very deep and she could not see the bottom. Then she cried aloud, and began to weep. Soon she heard a voice. It said, "Why are you weeping, princess? Your tears can melt even the stones!" She looked around and saw a frog. He was stretching his thick ugly head out of the water. "Oh, there you are, old waterpaddler," she said. "I am crying for the loss of my golden ball. It has fallen into into the fountain." 很久很久以前，有一位国王，他有很多美丽的女儿。而小女儿更是楚楚动人，连太阳照在她脸上时都会觉得惊讶。 在国王的城堡附近有一片幽暗的森林。森林中央有一座喷水池。 有一天，天气很热，国王的小女儿到森林里去。她坐在清凉的喷水池旁边。然后她开始往空中抛金球，再把它接住。对她来说，这是非常有趣的游戏。 然而，有一次国王的女儿没能将球接住。它掉在地上，然后滚进水中。 公主的眼光追随着它，不久它就消失了。水非常深，她见不到底。 这时她大声喊叫，开始哭了起来。不久她听到一个声音说：“你为什么哭呢，公主？你的眼泪甚至能把石头溶化掉。” 她四处看了一下，看到了一只青蛙，它那肥厚而又丑陋的脑袋正伸出水面。她说：“哦，原来是你这划水家伙在这儿。我哭是因为我的金球不见了。它掉到喷水池里去了。” "Then weep no more," said the frog. "I can get it for you. But what will you give me if I fetch your plaything?" "Oh, I will give you anything, dear frog," she replied. "What will you want----my dresses, my pearls and jewels, or my golden crown?" "I don't want any of them," answered the frog. "Your clothes, your pearls and your jewels, or even your golden crown, are nothing to me. I want you to love me, and let me be your companion. I'd like to sit at your table, eat from your golden plate, and drink out of your cup, and sleep in your nice bed. If you promise me all this, I will dive down into the water and bring up your pretty golden ball." “Oh, yes," she replied. "I will promise you anything if only you bring back my ball." But she thought to herself that a silly frog like him could not be fit to associate with mankind. 青蛙说：“不要哭了，我可以帮你拿回来。但是如果我把你的玩具找回来，你要给我什么呢？” 她回答说：“哦，我会给你任何东西，亲爱的青蛙。你要什么－－我的衣服，珍珠，珠宝还是我金色的王冠呢？” 青蛙答道：“我不要这些东西。你的衣服，珍珠，甚至于你金色的王冠对我来说，不值一文。我要你爱我，并让我做你的伴侣。我要坐在你桌子上，用你的金盘吃东西，用你的杯子喝水，并睡在你舒适的床上。如果你答应我这些，我就潜到水里去把你漂亮的金球拿上来。” 她回答说：“哦，好的。只要你把我的金球拿回来，我什么都答应你。” 但是她心想，像它那样愚笨的青蛙是不配和人类交往的。 The frog believed the king' s daughter. He dipped his head under the water and dived to the bottom. After a while he carried the ball to the surface, and threw it onto the grass. When the king' s daughter saw the beautiful ball, she was full of joy. She took it and ran away as fast as she could. "Wait, wait," cried the frog. "Take me with you! I can't run as fast as you. " But the young princess would not listen to the frog's croaking. She ran to the palace as fast as she could, and soon forgot the poor frog. So the frog returned to the fountain and remained there. The next day, however, when the princess was sitting with the king and eating out of her own little golden plate, she heard a strange noise on the marble steps outside. Then came a knock on the door, and a voice cried, "Lovely princess, open the door for me. " So she rose and went to the door. 青蛙相信国王女儿的话。它把头浸入水里，潜至水底。过了一会儿，它把球带出水面，并把它抛在草地上。 国王的女儿看到她漂亮的球时，非常高兴。她把它拿起来，然后飞快地跑掉了。 青蛙叫道：“等一等，带我一起走。我没有办法和你跑得一样快。”但是这位年轻的公主根本不理青蛙的叫声。她尽快地跑回皇宫，不久就把那可怜的青蛙忘记了。于是青蛙返回喷水池旁并待在那儿。 然而，第二天当公主和国王坐在一起，用她的小金盘吃东西时，她听到外面大理石台阶上传来奇怪的声音。然后传来敲门声，一个声音叫道：“美丽的公主，请为我开门。”于是她就起身走到门口去。

汉斯·克里斯汀·安徒生 （1805-1875），丹麦19世纪童话作家，被誉为“世界儿童文学的太阳”。安徒生的代表作有《小锡兵》、《海的女儿》、《拇指姑娘》、《卖火柴的小女孩》、《丑小鸭》、《皇帝的新装》等。《海的女儿》故事结尾没有中国式的凄美，它是美好的，感人的。美人鱼没有听从巫婆的劝告，心甘情愿第二天天一亮就化作海浪，按常理，故事讲到这里就结束了，但是没有，安徒生赋予美人鱼更伟大的事业，将灵魂升华到整个宇宙万物，向人们诠释了一个道理，只要热情、坚强、毅力的事物，不论是大海、空气、云，还是风和雨，都有灵魂，从故事中，给人类的启示：缺乏热情、无坚强毅力的人，是一个没有灵魂的人。 以下是薄荷阅读MintReading配图以下英文原著《海的女儿》结束篇分享-- …Pulling back the bright red curtain of the Prince’s sleeping-place, the little sea-girl saw the beautiful Princess with her head resting on the Prince’s heart. Bent over the bed, she gave his head a kiss, and took a look at the sky in which the red light was getting brighter and brighter; then, after a quick look at the sharp knife, her eyes again became fixed on the Prince，who was saying the name of his Princess softly in his sleep. She only was in his thoughts. For a minute the knife was shaking in the hand of the little sea-girl; then she sent it far away from her into the waves; the water became red where it went in, and the drops which came up had the look of blood. Slowly, she took one more look at the Prince, and then gave a jump from the ship into the sea, and had the feeling that her body was changing into a wave’s white top. The sun came up over the sea, and its warm rays came down on the cold white wave-top which was the little sea-girl, who no longer had the feeling that she was going to her end. She saw the bright sun, and all round her there seemed to be hundreds of bright and beautiful beings made of air; she was able to see through them the white sails of the ships and the red clouds in the sky; their talk was like sweet music, but so soft that men had no power of hearing it, because they had no power of seeing the beings themselves. The little sea-girl saw that she had a body like theirs, and that she was getting higher and higher out of the sea. “Where am I?” she said, and the sound of her voice was very soft, like the voice of those who were with her; no music on earth was like it. “Among the daughters of the air,” was the answer of one of them, “a sea-girl has not a soul, and it is not possible for her to get one if she does not have the love of an earth-man. Her future is forever dependent on the power of another. But the daughters of the air, though they have not a soul, are able by their good acts to make one for themselves. We go on our wings to warm countries and make cold the burning air which is death to men overcome by disease. We take with us the sweet smell of flowers which makes them well again. After three hundred years, if in that time we have been working to do all the good in our power, we get a soul and take part in the happy existence of men. You, poor little sea-girl, have made an attempt with all your heart to do as we are doing; you have gone through pain without turning back, and made yourself our equal by your good acts; and now, by going on for three hundred years in the same way, you may get a soul.” Lifting her happy eyes in the direction of the sun, the little sea-girl had the feeling that they were becoming wet for the first time. On the ship all was motion and noise; she saw the Prince and his beautiful Princess looking for her; their eyes were fixed sadly on the white wave-tops as if they were conscious she had sent herself into the waves. Unseen, she gave a kiss to the Princess, a smile to the Prince, and then went up with the other daughters of the air to the high red clouds. “After three hundred years, we will come into the Happy Land,” said she. “And we may even get there before then,” said one of those with her softly. “Unseen we are able to go into the houses of men, where there are boys and girls, and for every day on which we come across a good boy or girl, who gives pleasure to his or her father and mother and has a right to their love, our time of waiting is made shorter. The boys and girls are not conscious when we go through the room that we give a smile of pleasure at their good behavior, because we are able to take one year off our three hundred years. But when we see a bad boy or girl we are sad and our eyes become wet, and for every drop which comes from our eyes a day is put on to the time of our waiting.”                                         ---  20180325下午
