  哲理性的英语故事阅读篇一

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat’s days were doctor had said there wasn’t anything more that could be done,that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.

The man stroked the Cat on his lap and Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear rolled down the Man’s cheek and landed on the Cat’s Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.

“Why do you cry, Man?”the Cat asded.“Because you can’t bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?”The Man nodded “yes.”

“And where do you think I’ll be when I leave you?”the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. “Close your eyes, Man,” the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.

“What color are my eyes and fur?” the Cat asked. “Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,” the Man replied.

“And where is it that you most often see me?”asked the Cat. “I see you…on the kitchen windowsill watching the birds…on my favorite chair…on my desk lying on the papers I need…on the pillow next to my head at night.” “Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes,” said the Cat.

“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy.’” The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so.

“The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The Man complied.

“You have made a continuous circle,” said the cat.“Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head “no.”

“Close your eyes again,” the Cat said.“Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise.

“Just do it,” the Cat said.“Lick your hand,think of me in all my familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.”

The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told. He discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop,and when he didn’t, he opened his eyes. The Cat’s eyes were Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.

The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and through his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held clutched in his hand.

One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was a lovely calico and white…very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same. 男人非常伤心。他知道猫余下的日子不多了。医生说已经没得治了,他只能把猫带回家,并尽可能地让他在剩下的时间里过得舒服些。

男人把猫放在腿上,叹了口气。猫睁开眼睛,呼噜呼噜地叫着,抬眼看了看男人。一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊边滑落,落在了猫的额头上。猫有点不高兴地看了他一眼。

“你哭个什么啊,伙计?”猫问道,“因为你无法承受将要失去我的念头?因为你认为永远都没有什么能代替我?”男人点了点头。“是啊。”

“那么你认为我离开你以后,会到什么地方去了呢?”猫问道。男人无望地耸了耸肩。“闭上眼睛吧,伙计,”猫说。男人疑惑地看了他一眼,但还是听话地闭上了眼睛。

“我的眼睛和毛皮是什么颜色的?”猫问。“你的眼睛是金色的,你的毛皮是浓郁而温暖的褐色的。”男人回答道。

“那你最常在什么地方见到我呢?”猫问。“我经常见到你……在厨房地窗台上看鸟……在我最喜欢的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我脑袋边的枕头上。”“那么,无论什么时候你想见我,你只要闭上你的眼睛就可以了。”猫说。

“把地上的那段绳子捡起来——那里,我的‘玩具’。”男人睁开眼睛,伸手捡起了绳子。绳子大约有两英尺(约0.6米)长,猫曾经能够玩着绳子自娱自乐一玩就是几个小时。“现在用两只手捏住绳子的两端。”猫命令道。男人照做了。

“你左手捏着的那端就是我的出生,而右手的那端就是我的死亡。现在把两端连在一起。”猫说道。男人又照做了。

“你做出了一个连贯的圆圈,”猫说,“这个绳子上的任意一点同其他点有什么不同吗?比绳子的其他部分更好或者更差吗?”男人审视着那根绳子,然后摇了摇头。“没有。”

“再次闭上你的眼睛,”猫说,“现在舔舔你的手。”男人惊讶地睁大了眼睛。

“照我说的做吧,”猫说。“舔舔你的手,想想我在所有我熟悉的地方,想想所有的绳子。”

要舔自己的手,男人觉得很蠢,不过他还是照做了。他发现了猫所知道的秘密——舔爪子能让你平静下来,并让你能够思考得更加清楚。他继续舔着,他的嘴角开始上翘,好多天来第一次露出了微笑。他等待着猫叫停,可是没等到,于是他睁开了眼睛。猫的眼睛已经闭上了。他摸了摸猫温暖的褐色皮毛,可是猫已经去了。

男人用力地闭上了眼睛,泪如泉涌。他看到猫蹲在窗台上,然后是他的床上,然后躺在他的重要文件上。他看到猫在他脑袋边的枕头上,看到他明亮的金黄色的眼睛还有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛发。他睁开眼睛,透过泪水看向他依然捏在手里的绳圈。

不久以后的某一天,他的膝上有了一只新的猫咪。她是一只可爱的白色花斑猫——与之前那只他深爱的猫是那么的不同,然而又是那么的相同。

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪,信赖这些情绪,并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的,也无法用戴上一张面具来伪装。 拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边,他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中,也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人,犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。

直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入,而非所求。

  哲理性的英语故事阅读篇三

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

很久很久以前,有一棵又高又大的苹果树。一位小男孩,天天到树下来,他爬上去摘苹果吃,在树荫下睡觉。他爱苹果树,苹果树也爱和他一起玩耍。

Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

后来,小男孩长大了,不再天天来玩耍。一天他又来到树下,很伤心的样子。苹果树要和他一起玩,男孩说:“不行,我不小了,不能再和你玩,我要玩具,可 是没钱买。”苹果树说:“很遗憾,我也没钱,不过,把我所有的果子摘下来卖掉,你不就有钱了?”男孩十分激动,他摘下所有的苹果,高高兴兴地走了。然后, 男孩好久都没有来。苹果树很伤心。

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

有一天,男孩终于来了,树兴奋地邀他一起玩。男孩说:“不行,我没有时间,我要替家里干活呢,我们需要一幢房子,你能帮忙吗?”“我没有房子,”苹果 树说,“不过你可以把我的树枝统统砍下来,拿去搭房子。”于是男孩砍下所有的树枝,高高兴兴地运走去盖房子。看到男孩高兴树好快乐。从此,男孩又不来了。 树再次陷入孤单和悲伤之中。

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.

一年夏天,男孩回来了,树太快乐了:“来呀!孩子,来和我玩呀。”男孩却说:“我心情不好,一天天老了,我要扬帆出海,轻松一下,你能给我一艘船 吗?”苹果树说:“把我的树干砍去,拿去做船吧!”于是男孩砍下了她的树干,造了条船,然后驾船走了,很久都没有回来。树好快乐……但不是真的。

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you...” the tree said.

“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.

许多年过去,男孩终于回来,苹果树说:“对不起,孩子,我已经没有东西可以给你了,我的苹果没了。”

男孩说:“我的牙都掉了,吃不了苹果了。”

“No more trunk for you to climb on.”

“I am too old for that now,” the boy said.

“I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.

苹果树又说:“我再没有树干,让你爬上来了。”

男孩说:“我太老了,爬不动了。”

“我再也没有什么给得出手了……,只剩下枯死下去的老根,”树流着泪说。

“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.

“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

男孩说:“这么多年过去了,现在我感到累了,什么也不想要,只要一个休息的地方。”

“好啊!老根是最适合坐下来休息的,来啊,坐下来和我一起休息吧!”男孩坐下来,苹果树高兴得流下了眼泪……

This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grown up, we left them, and only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that’s how all of us are treating our parents.

这就是我们每个人的故事。这颗树就是我们的父母。小时候,我们喜欢和爸爸妈妈玩……长大后,我们就离开他们,只在需要什么东西或者遇到麻烦的时候,才 回到他们身边。无论如何,父母永远都在那儿,倾其所有使你快乐。你可能认为这个男孩对树很残酷,但这就是我们每个人对待父母的方式。

Take time out during the day for quiet time to listen to your inner voice. You may want to use your quiet time to meditate or pray. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important — even if it’s just 10 minutes a day and you have to sneak away to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life. It enables you to hear God speaking to your heart reminding you of His perfect love for you.

白天花些时间出去,独自倾听自己的心声。你可能想利用这段安静的时间沉思或祈祷。无论如何利用这段时间,关键是要排除周围所有的噪音,关注自己的内心 深处。安静的时间进行深呼吸也能帮你集中注意力。我知道在特别忙碌的日子找到安静的时间很难,然而这很重要——即使一天只有10分钟,你也要溜开抓住它。 安静的时间确实能使你的生命变得不同,它促使你倾听上帝与你的心灵对话,使你想起他赋予你的完美的爱。

Be honest with yourself by paying attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. What do your actions say about you? If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more true — your words or your actions? On the other hand, if you say you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also important. What do you do with this insight? You can use it to make more beneficial choices in your life. By being honest with yourself based on your previous actions, your actions moving forward will be based on truth instead of just what you tell yourself.

坦诚对己,注重行动吧。事实胜于雄辩,行动才能证明事实。你的行动是如何说明你的呢?如果你说热爱自己的工作,而你的行动正好相反,你认为哪个更有说 服力呢——言语还是行动?另一方面,如果你说不擅长某项工作,但你的行动正好相反,这也很重要。你怎么处理你这种能力?你可以由此在生活中做出更多的选 择,坦诚对己也建立在以前的行为上,你以后的行动将会以事实为基础,而不只是你的言词。

Despite what your subconscious may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.

不管你的潜意识告诉你什么,你都能够拥有无尽的爱,关键是首先你要无条件地爱自己。
