勵志英文故事帶翻譯：錯過的祝福時
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... "PAID IN FULL".
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. 。
從前，有位年輕人即將大學生畢業(yè)。數月來，他一直渴望得到某汽車商產品陳列室中的一輛跑車。他知道，他那富有的父親肯定買得起這輛車，于是，他便跟父親說他很想得到那輛漂亮的跑車。
在畢業(yè)典禮即將來臨的日子里，年輕人等待著父親買下跑車的消息。終于，在畢業(yè)典禮那天上午，父親將他叫到自己的書房，并告訴他，有他這么出色的兒子自己感到非常自豪而且非常愛他這個兒子。接著，父親遞給兒子一個包裝精美的禮品盒。年輕人感到好奇，但帶著些許失望地打開禮品盒，卻發(fā)現里面是一本精美的精裝本《圣經》，上面以金子凸印著年輕人的名字。看罷，年輕人怒氣沖沖地向父親大喊道：“你有那么多錢，卻只給我一本《圣經》?”說完，便丟下《圣經》，憤怒地沖出房子。
多年以后，年輕人已事業(yè)有成。他擁有一所漂亮的房子，一個溫馨的家庭。但當得知父親年事已高，他想，或許應該去看看他。自從畢業(yè)那天起他就一直不見父親。就在起程時，他收到一封電報--父親已逝世，并已立下遺囑將其所有財產轉給兒子。他要立即回父親家處理后事。
在父親的房子里，他突然內心感到一陣悲傷與懊悔。他開始仔細搜尋父親的重要文件，突然發(fā)現了那本《圣經》--還跟幾年前一樣嶄新。他噙著淚水打開《圣經》并一頁一頁地閱讀著。忽然，從書的背面掉出一把鑰匙。鑰匙上掛著一個標簽，上面寫著一個汽車經銷商的名字--正是他曾渴望的那輛跑車的經銷商。標簽上還有他的畢業(yè)日期及“款已付清”的字樣。
我們多少次地與祝福擦肩而過，僅僅因為他們沒有按我們想象中的樣子包裝好?不要在渴望得到沒有的東西時損壞你已經擁有的東西，但要記住一點：你現在所擁有的恰恰正是你曾經一心渴望得到的。
有時，我們并沒有意識到我們已經擁有或本該擁有的好運，僅僅因為它的外表與我們想象中的有所不同。其實，表面上看起來像是壞運氣的東西或許正是等待開啟的幸運之門
勵志英文故事帶翻譯：畢加索和我
This is the 50th anniversary of the day I crossed paths with Pablo Picasso. It came about in a strange way. I had written a column showing how absurd some of my mail had become.
One letter was from Philadelphia. It was written by a Temple University student named Harvey Brodsky. Harvey said he was in love with a girl named Gloria Segall, and he hoped to marry her someday. She claimed to be the greatest living fan of Picasso. The couple went to a Picasso exhibit and, to impress her, Harvey told Gloria that he could probably get the artist's autograph.
Harvey's letter continued, "Since that incident, Gloria and I have stopped seeing each other. I did a stupid thing and she threw me out and told me she never wanted to see me again.
"I'm writing to you because I'm not giving up on Gloria. Could you get Picasso's autograph for me? If you could, I have a feeling Gloria and I could get back together. The futures of two young people depend on it. I know she is miserable without me and I without her. Everything depends on you."
At the end of the letter, he said, "I, Harvey Brodsky, do solemnly swear that any item received by me from Art Buchwald (namely, Pablo Picasso's autograph) will never be sold or given to anyone except Miss Gloria Segall."
I printed the letter in my column to show how ridiculous my mail was. When it appeared, David Duncan, a photographer, was with Picasso in Cannes and Duncan translated it for Picasso.
Picasso was very moved, and he took out his crayons and drew a beautiful color sketch for Gloria Segall and signed it.
Duncan called and told me the good news.
I said, "The heck with Gloria Segall, what about me?"
David explained this to Picasso and in crayons he drew a picture of the two of us together, holding a glass of wine, and wrote on the top, "Pour Art Buchwald."
By this time, the Associated Press had picked up the story and followed through on the delivery of the picture to Gloria Segall. When it arrived special delivery in Philadelphia, Gloria took one look and said, "Harvey and I will always be good friends."
If you're wondering how the story ends, Harvey married somebody else, and so did Gloria. The Picasso hangs in Gloria's living room.
It was a story that caught the imagination of people all over the world. I received lots of letters after the column was published. My favorite came from an art dealer in New York, who wrote:
"I can find you as many unhappy couples in New York City as you can get Picasso sketches. Two girls I know are on the verge of suicide if they don't hear from Picasso, and I know several couples in Greenwich Village who are in the initial stages of divorce. Please wire me how many you need. We both stand to make a fortune."
Another letter, from Bud Grossman in London, said, "My wife threatens to leave me unless I can get her Khrushchev's autograph. She would like it signed on a Russian sable coat."
今天是我和帕勃洛?畢加索相遇的50周年紀念日。這件事發(fā)生得很是離奇。在那以前,我寫過一篇專欄文章,讓大家瞧瞧我收到的一些郵件有多荒.唐。
有一封寄自費城的信,是坦普爾大學一位名叫哈維?布洛德斯基的學生寫的。哈維說他與一位叫格洛里亞?西格爾的姑娘墜入了愛河,希望有朝一日能娶她為妻。這位姑娘聲稱自己是活著的頭號畢加索迷。這一對兒去參觀了畢加索的一個畫展,為了打動她,哈維告訴格洛里亞他很有可能弄到畫家的簽名。
哈維的信繼續(xù)往下寫:“自從那件事后,格洛里亞不再和我見面。我干了件蠢事,她就甩了我,并告訴我她再也不想見我。
“我寫信給你是因為我不想放棄格洛里亞。你能給我弄到畢加索的簽名嗎?要是弄得到的話,我覺得格洛里亞和我還能再走到一塊。兩個年輕人的未來就取決于這個簽名了。我知道,她沒有了我很痛苦,我呢,沒有了她心里不好受。一切都靠你的了。”
在信的結尾,他寫道:“我,哈維?布洛德斯基,莊嚴宣誓:任何阿爾特?布赫瓦爾德寄給我的東西(即畢加索的簽名),我決不會賣掉或送給除了格洛里亞?西格爾以外的任何人。”
我把這封信刊載在我的專欄里,讓大家瞧瞧我收到的郵件有多可笑。信登出來時,攝影師戴維?鄧肯正在戛納和畢加索在一起,鄧肯就把這封信翻譯給畢加索聽。
畢加索很感動,他拿出有色粉筆,為格洛里亞?西格爾畫了幅彩色速寫,并簽上了名。
鄧肯打電話告訴我這個好消息。
我說:“見格洛里亞?西格爾個鬼,有我的份嗎?”
戴維把我的話向畢加索做了說明,他便用有色粉筆畫了幅我們倆在一起手舉酒杯的畫,并在畫的上方寫道:“為阿爾特?布赫瓦爾德斟酒。”
這個時候,美聯社已嗅得了這個故事,并且一路追蹤到將畫交給格洛里亞?西格爾這一步。當畫以郵件快遞的方式到達費城時,格洛里亞看了一眼說:“哈維和我將永遠是好朋友。”
要是你想知道這個故事的結局,我可以告訴你。哈維娶了別人,格洛里亞也嫁了他人。畢加索的畫現掛在格洛里亞家的起居室里。
這個故事引發(fā)了世界各地人們的想象力。專欄文章發(fā)表后,我收到了許多信。我最喜歡的一封信來自紐約的一位畫商,他這樣寫道:
“你弄得到多少畢加索的畫,我就能給你找到多少對不幸的人兒。有兩個我認識的姑娘要是得不到畢加索的回音幾乎就要自殺了。我還認識格林威治村幾對正處于離婚初級階段的夫妻。 請打電報告訴我你需要多少這樣的人。我們倆也好賺一筆。”
另一封信寄自倫敦的巴德?格羅斯曼,他說:“我妻子威脅說要離開我,除非我能給她搞到赫魯曉夫的簽名。她想讓他把名字簽在一件俄羅斯的紫貂皮大衣上。”
*阿爾特?布赫瓦爾德(Art Buchwald, 1925—)美國幽默語言大師,美國藝術與文學院院士,曾獲普例策獎。舊版的《大學英語》精讀課本曾選用過他的“Ts There Life on Earth?”
勵志英文故事帶翻譯：你來決定
摘要：從前，有一位博學的老婦人，她住在后山。過去所有的孩子都經常來找她問問題。她總是有求必應。
There was once a wise old woman who lived back in the hills. All the children used to come back and ask her questions. She always gave the right answers.
There was a naughty little boy among the children. One day he caught a tiny bird and held it in his cupped hands. Then he gathered his friends around. He said, "Let's trick the old woman. I'll ask her what I'm holding in my hands. Of course, she'll answer that I have a bird. Then I will ask her if the bird is living or dead. If she says the bird is dead, I'll open my hands and let the bird fly away. If she says the bird is alive, I'll quickly crush it and show her the dead bird. Either way, she'll be wrong."
The children agreed that this was a clever plan. Up the hill they went to the old woman's hut.
"Granny, we have a question for you," they all shouted.
"What's in my hands?" asked the little boy.
"Well, it must be a bird," replied the old woman.
"But is it living or dead?" demanded the excited boy.
The old woman thought for a moment and then replied, "It is as you will, my child."
從前，有一位博學的老婦人，她住在后山。過去所有的孩子都經常來找她問問題。她總是有求必應。
其中有一個調皮的小男孩。有一天，他抓到一只小鳥，雙手捧住，然后把伙伴們叫到身邊，說：
“咱們去哄一下那個老太太。我要問她我手里握著什么東西。她肯定會回答說我握的是小鳥。然后，我問她小鳥是活的還是死的。如果她說鳥是死的，我就張開手讓小鳥飛走。如果她說小鳥是活的，我就馬上用勁一捏，讓她看到那只死鳥。不管用什么方法，她都說不對。”
孩子們都異口同聲的說這是一個聰明的計劃。他們爬上山，來到了老婦人的小屋。
“奶奶，我們要問您一個問題。”他們都大聲說道。
“我手里是什么東西?”那個小男孩問道。
“噢，肯定是一只小鳥，”老婦人回答說。
“可是活的還是死的呢?”小男孩興奮的問到。
老婦人想了一會兒，然后回答說：“孩子，這由你來決定。”
