公平对待命运

Most people complain of fortune, few of nature;and the kinder they think the latter has been to them, the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former.Why have not I the riches, the rank, the power, of such and such, is the common expostulation with fortune;but why have not I the merit, the talents, the wit, or the beauty, of such and such others, is a reproach rarely or never made to nature.The truth is, that nature, seldom profuse, and seldom niggardly, has distributed her gifts more equally than she is generally supposed to have done.Education and situation make the great difference.Culture improves, and occasions elicit, natural talents I make no doubt but that there are potentially, if I may use that pedantic word, many Bacons, Lockes, Newtons, Caesars, Cromwells, and Mariboroughs at the ploughtail behind counters, and, perhaps, even among the nobility;but the soil must be cultivated, and the season favourable, for the fruit to have all its spirit and flavour.If sometimes our common parent has been a little partial, and not kept the scales quite even;if one preponderates too much, we throw into the lighter a due counterpoise of vanity, which never fails to set all right.Hence it happens, that hardly any one man would, without reverse, and in every particular, change with any other.Though all are thus satisfied with the dispensations of nature, how few listen to her voice!How to follow her as a guide!In vain she points out to us the plain and direct way to truth, vanity, fancy, affection, and fashion assume her shape and wind us through fairy-ground to folly and error.既然能对自己宽容何不给他人多一点耐心

It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others.I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others.We turn our attention away from our own defects, and when we are forced by untoward events to consider them, find it easy to condone them.For all I know we are right to do this;they are part of us and we must accept the good and bad in ourselves together.But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves as we really are that we judge them, but by an image that we have formed of ourselves from which we have left out everything that offends our vanity or would discredit us in the eyes of the world.To take a trivial instance: how scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie;but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred? There is not much to choose between men.They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness.Some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same.For my part, I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster of depravity.The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others.It is well also if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.

关于英文的简便小故事篇2

The story of"The Horse Dealer's Daughter"by D.H.Lawrence is usually interpreted as about the redeeming power of love.It is only partly true as one of its themes.It is more than the power of love.If we pay attention to its title,we may find it is also about seduction.Mabel,the daughter of the horse dealer,picks out Dr.Fergusson,an eligible doctor,and exerts all her forces to seduce him.She discovers and uses all her sexual power to get her a husband successfully.

Mabel,the daughter of the horse dealer,remains an unmarried woman of twenty-seven at the beginning of the story.Her life has just been turned upside down because her father has died and left the family in debt.She and her three brothers have sold their last horses and their house,so they must leave the family home soon.Her three brothers all can find a way to support them instead of the horse business.She,however,face only two possibilities:to be a skivvy or to live with her married sister,none of which is what she desires.In despair of her prospects,she commits suicide and is rescued by Dr.Fergusson who falls in love with her.Finally the story ends with promises of marriage.

A few researchers have written some research papers about this short story.They interpret it from different perspectives,such as the nature ideas and blood consciousness of D.H.Lawrence(Li Jinkui),the psychological description(Jin Zhaoxia)and the cultural oppression and the rebirth of the human nature(Yong xiaolin).What I have found is that it is not simply a love story,but a story about tricks—a whole bag of them.

Let's briefly consider the title first.It is a major clue to understand the story and also the one always neglected.Since her father has been dead from the very beginning,his appearance in the title deserves attention.Horse traders,in order to get rid of unsatisfactory horses and make profits,sometimes use tricks to dupe or sting a buyer,such as having drugs,applying Vaseline and spraying paint Mabel is her father's daughter.It is not surprising that maybe she has learnt a few tricks of his trade and makes good use of them.In"A Doll's House"Ibsen asks if the children of Krogstad and of Nora be like their parents,as well as asking if Nora is like her slightly shady father.Like father,like daughter is the idea.

The horse business declines as the replacement of horses with automobiles and tractors,the horse dealer's family,therefore,has slipped into poverty.Mabel's father has taken another step to try to fend off poverty:"The old man had married a second time to retrieve his fortunes."However,with his death,"there was nothing but debt and threatening."Mabel,not only loses her father to depend upon and feel secure in,but also loses her job as the manager of her house.What's worse,none of her three brothers really cares what she can do,only asking her dutifully.She doesn't know wha to do and where to go.She is very close to despair.She has experienced fairly good times,then hard times,having had to"demean herself,going into the shops and buying cheapest food."Even though she thinks it is an end,"she would follow her own way jus the same.She would always hold the keys of her own situation."

No one cares what happens to her except Dr.Fergusson who comes to say goodbye to her brothers.Certainly when he asks"what are you going to do then,Miss Pervin?"It is with genuine concern and with sincere human sympathy.It is not impossible for Mabel to have the idea crossing the mind that he may be a good"buyer"for her since he is kind and lonely in town.He is a bachelor too Seemingly impossible,she still can have the dream if she is lucky enough,she can find herself a husband,which is certainly better than being a paid skivvy in someone's household or a babysitter without pay in her sister's house.Moreover,Dr.Fergusson's circumstances are no better than her.He is sad as he is going to miss his buddies;he is weak as he has a cold and feels rotten;he is a relatively newcomer in town,"a mere hired assistant"and"slave to countryside."Another thing noticeable is that"the doctor's house was just by the church."Therefore,when she is cleaning her mother's grave in the churchyard,it is possible for her to catch his movement as he hurries to attend to the out-patients out of her eyes and looks up when he approaches.On the grey,wintry day,while he sees"the girl at task at the grave,so intent and remote,""some mystical element was touched in him";when their eyes meet,he can'forget the slow,large and portentous eyes and her face.There is a kind of special feeling,partly sympathy,partly unknown.Later tha afternoon,exactly before the teatime,Mabel decides she has no choice but to jump into the pond to join her mother.However,she does it at the very time when the doctor passes by.There is the possibility that she might know the route he takes and know the time he goes out of the surgery since it is in a small town.It is no secre there.If she wants to know it,she can have the answer easily.She plays the game with price of her own life.After all,she has nothing to gamble but herself.Fortunately and definitely,she is rescued.

Mabel revives.Thanks to Dr.Fergusson's efforts and a little whisky,she becomes conscious and vital now.Then the story is about how girls behave when they flirt."The house was empty.The fire was burning in the grate."Perfect environment it is.They both drink a little whisky.She is naked in the blankets.He knows her who is the sister of his buddies,a helpless girl.He feels sorry for her,or great sympathy for her,still remembering their meeting tha afternoon in the graveyard.She looks at him fixedly all the time which makes him have another desire and feel warm inside.He even doesn't have the power to move out of her presence.She sits up,presses her breasts against his knees and thighs and kisses his knees passionately.How can a man resist!He looks down at the we hair and bare shoulders.Shoulders are sexy.Though"he had never thought of loving her"and"had never wanted to love her",at tha time,"he had not the power to break away".It is animal instinct Her eyes are full of powerful love and her face is shining beautifully,which are also strong weapons of women.Grasping her bare shoulder,he feels the touch wonderful."With an inward groan he gave way,and let his heart yield towards her."He is conquered a last.Lawrence depicts it without any omission so we can have a detailed picture in mind.Step by step,Mabel relies on her usua charms,the powerful eyes and shining face to allure Fergusson,no her good looks or good nature.And she makes it.

Here Mabel is active,passionate and bright,totally differen from the impressive,stubborn"bull-dog"appeared before.She is also proud,mindless and persistent,so she conquers.When Dr.Fergusson drops in to say goodbye to her brothers,when he politely asks her what she is going to do,she has realized that he is suitable for a husband.He is a doctor,kind and sympathetic.He happens to have a cold that day,so he is very weak.With such a weak body,he still walks into the cold pond to save Mabel,which makes her further believe that he is eligible.She offers herself on his knees and depends upon him and he doesn't refuse;she notices the change o his voice and uses the ultimate weapon of her tears;she asks for love and kisses from him,all of which shows she has made good use of her tricks to seduce him gradually.Mabel's dependence,vulnerability and gratitude make him an easy conquest.

Lawrence believes in love-at-first-sight,which is more or less showed in this story.After romance,however,practical daily life is in front of them,since Fergusson also worries"how they would al jeer if they knew!"They both come from different world,one as a doctor and one as a farmer,but still they need each other.Fergusson wants to come into the lives of the working people as he feels excited and gratified to contact with the rough,strongly-feeling people.He feels life back to him twice when he looks into Mabel's eyes.One is in the cemetery and the other is in the house.She wil be a good wife,a good housekeeper and a manager—she has done that for ten years.He will be the good husband she needs to get ou of the plight.He will be a good provider as well who will not only keep her financially secure but also give her social status.Moreover,sexual awakening occurs there.Perhaps Fergusson rescues Mabel from the dead pond is out of duty,as he is thinking he is a doctor and she is a patient,but when they are in the house,with fire burning and no one disturbing,what happens clearly shows tha they realizes he is entirely male and she is entirely female.

Mabel has made a good deal for her.Dr.Fergusson has made a good deal too.He has traded her brother's company for hers.All the deal comes from the doctor's question,which shows interest in her as she thinks so that she seduces him with all the trading tricks she knows.Her knowledge of these things is innate.Her feminine power is instinctive.The equally needy man falls in love with her.Al sales are final,no refunds and no exchanges here,just as the horse deal.

蘑菇的英文及小故事篇3

采蘑菇的小兔子

从前森林里住着两只小兔子，一只小白兔和一只小灰兔。在一个艳阳高照的早晨，小白兔和小灰兔商量着去森林里采蘑菇，中午请小伙伴们来吃。他们走着走着，小灰兔心里暗暗改变了主意：这是我采的蘑菇，是属于我的，为什么要给他们，我要拿蘑菇到别的地方一个人吃。他们两人走到了一个悬崖边，发现下面有一个很大的蘑菇，可是用手根本拿不到。小白兔想了想去扛来一根竹杆，对小灰兔说：“我抓着这根杆子，抱住一头，把竹杆子放下去，你把蘑菇拔出来，我再拉你上来。”小灰兔同意了。

小灰兔成功地拔出了蘑菇。小白兔刚要把蘑菇放进篮子里，小灰兔一把抢过蘑菇，撒腿就向森林深处跑。小白兔高声叫到：“危险！危险！”小灰兔还是只顾自己跑。小灰兔跑着跑着，遇到一只大灰狼，幸亏小白兔带着小伙伴及时赶到，打败了大灰狼。

小灰兔低下头，说：“我以后再也不自私了。”

关于七夕的故事（英文版）篇8

On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar, don’t forget to look carefully at the summer sky. In the Western calendar, that falls on August 26 this year. You’ll find the Cowherd (a bright star in the constellation Aquila, west of the Milky Way) and the Weaving Maid (the star Vega, east of the Milky Way) appear closer together than at any other time of the year.

The Chinese believe the stars are lovers who are permitted to meet by the Queen of Heaven once a year. That day is also called the “double seventh” (Qixi in Chinese), and it is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the lunar calendar. In modern times, it has been called China’s own Valentine’s Day.

The legend holds that an orphaned cowherd was mistreated by his elder brother and sister-in-law, who eventually gave him an old ox and chased him out. The cowherd worked hard, and after only a couple of years he owned a small farm and house. But he was lonely, with only the company of his faithful old ox.

One day the ox suddenly opened its mouth and talked, telling the cowherd that the heavenly Weaving Maid and her sisters were going to bathe in river. The Weaving Maid was said to be the youngest of the seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven. With her sisters, she worked hard to weave beautiful clouds in the sky.

The ox told the cowherd that he should go there to rob the Weaving Maid of her clothes while she was in the water. In exchange for the return of her clothes, she would become his wife. Surprised, the cowherd willingly followed the ox’s instructions and hid himself in the reeds at the riverbank, waiting for the girls to bathe.

The girls came, and as they were splashing about, the cowherd rushed out of the reeds and grabbed the Weaving Maid’s clothing. In panic, the sisters dashed to their clothes, hurriedly put them on, and ran away.

The Weaving Maid, deprived of her clothes, stood on the riverbank and tried to cover herself with her hair. The cowherd told her that he would not return her clothes unless she promised to be his wife. After a little hesitation, she agreed to his request and they married.

The cowherd and the Weaving Maid lived happily together and had two children before the Queen of Heaven discovered the Weaving Maid’s absence. She was so annoyed that she had the Weaving Maid brought back to heaven.

Seeing his beloved wife flying back to the sky, the cowherd was terrified and sad. He caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall. The magical ox had told him before dying of old age, “Keep the cowhide for emergency use.”

Putting the cowhide on, the cowherd, with his two children, went after his wife. With the help of the cowhide, the cowherd was able to follow the Weaving Maid into heaven. He was about to reach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between the two. The line became the Silver River in heaven, or the Milky Way.

The Weaving Maid went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the clouds. But she was so sad and missed her husband across the Silver River so much that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Finally, the Queen showed some mercy and allowed the couple to meet once every year on the Silver River on the double seventh.

Magpies were moved by their true love and many of them gathered to form a bridge over the Silver River for the couple to meet on the evening of Qixi.

关于公平的小故事篇10

女儿一进门就大呼小叫，直嚷这世界太不公平了！原来她在上数学课时跟同学讲话，被代课老师逮个正着，最后她与同学两人都被罚站。

“很公平啊”，我说。

“才不呢！当时明明有好几位同学都在讲话，但老师偏偏盯着我们，只罚我俩，我们是杀一儆百的代罪羔羊！”她还是愤愤不平。

我知道女儿对此事很在意，平时她都被老师们宠坏了，又是模范生又是副巡察长，这一次真的是让她丢尽了脸，颜面全失。

我问她：“在老师上课时讲话是不是应该受罚？”她点头，但也辩护：“老师不罚其他讲话的人就是不公平！”

我再问她：“老师罚你应不应该？”她说：“应该，但是„„”

我知道她要说什么，打断她：“不讲别人，只看你自己，老师有没有罚错你？”她低着头说：“没有”。“那就很公平呀！你知道上课讲话的代价是什么，你做了，得到应有的惩罚，就是公平。老师没有惩罚其他人，不是因为给某同学特别优惠，而是因为她是赏罚执行者，她可以选择饶恕。从你的角度看别人似乎是不公平，但对那些同学来说她是宽容，不是不公平。”

女儿虽还不是很信服，但不像刚进门时那样的怒气冲冲了。她反问我：“那您说这世界上有没有不公平的事呀？”

“有啊！这地球是圆的，不是平的，这世上也有太阳照不到地方，那哪可能事事都是公平的呢？不过要看你站在什么角度去看事情。”

关于诚信的小故事篇11
