（一）He is black, born February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York slums.He has two brothers, a sister and a younger sister, father's meager wages simply cannot maintain a household.Having spenthis childhood in poverty and discrimination.As for the future, he could not see any hope.Free time, he crouched under the low roof, silently watching the sunset on themountains, silent and depressed.of that year, one day, my father suddenly handed him an old clothes: “This dress is worth how much? ”

”About $ 1.“He answered.”You can sell it to two dollars? “My father looked at him with inquiring eyes.”Only a fool would buy!“He said.Father's eyes and appearing in good faith desire: ”why don't you give it a try? You know, life isn't easy at home, if you sell, it's helped me and your mother.”

He nodded: “I can give it a try, but not necessarily to sell.”

He is careful to wash clothes, no iron, he brushed his clothes with a brush, spread on the flat piece of shade.The next day, he took the dress came to a crowded subway station, after 6

hours of selling, he finally sold the dress.He was clutching a two-dollar, all the way back home.Every day since he was keen on panned out from the garbageheap of old clothes, take care when to sell in the city.So after more than 10 days, my father suddenly handed him an old clothes: ”do you think, how can this dress sells for $ 20?”

How can it be? So how can an old dress sells for $ 20, he is only worth a maximum of two dollars.“Why don't you give it a try? ”Father inspired him,“ think about it, there's always a way.”

Finally, he came up with a good solution.He asked his cousinof paint on your clothes draw a cute Donald Duck with a playful Mickey Mouse.He sold at the gate of a school for children of the nobility.A little later, a picked Butler for his young master school master had bought the dress.The teenage boy loves clothes patterns, a happy, gave him a $5 tip.$ 25, this is a lot of money!Equivalent to the wages of his father in January.After returning home, his father handed him an old suit: ”can you sell him 200 dollars? “Dad looked deep, like a faint flicker of an old well.This time, he did not hesitate, he still took his clothes and started thinking.Two months later, the opportunity finally came.Popular actress of the movie Charlie Pete r lovesy came to theNew York publicity.After the press conference, he thrust the security around, flapping around to Pete r lovesy, holding the old clothes and askedher to autograph.Pete r lovesy stupefied, but immediately smiled.I think no one will refuse an innocent child.Pete r lovesy smoothly signed the names.He smiles, black face, white teeth: ”Pete r lovesy Lady, can I sellthis dress yet? ”

”I see, you are inspiring me,“ he said, ”as long as the thinks, means there will always be there.”

”I just wanted to tell you that something is only worth $ 1 oldclothes, have a way of nobility.Besides, those of us who live it?We have no reason to lose confidence? We have only black and poor, but what does it have? ”

This instant, his heart, with a brilliant Sun rose up, illuminatingthe front of his body and the world."Even an old clothes are away to noble, I also have no reason to underestimate it!”

From then on, he began to study hard, training hard, always full of hope for the future.years later, his name spread throughout every corner of theworld.His name is--Michael Jordan.譯文：

他是黑人，1963年2月17日出生于紐約布魯克林貧民區。

他有兩個哥哥，一個姐姐，一個妹妹，父親微薄的工資根本無法維持家用。他從小就在貧窮與歧視中度過。

對于未來，他看不到什么希望。沒事的時候，他便蹲在低矮的屋檐下，默默地看著遠山上的夕陽，沉默而沮喪。

13歲的那一年，有一天，父親突然遞給他一件舊衣服：“這件衣服能值多少錢?”

“大概1美元。”他回答。

“你能將它賣到兩美元嗎?”父親用探詢的目光看著他。

“傻子才會買!”他賭著氣說。

父親的目光真誠又透著渴求：“你為什么不試一試呢?你知道的，家里日子并不好過，要是你賣掉了，也算幫了我和你的媽媽。”

他這才點了點頭：“我可以試一試，但是不一定能賣掉。”

他很小心地把衣服洗干凈，沒有熨斗，他就用刷子把衣服刷平，鋪在一塊平板上陰干。

第二天，他帶著這件衣服來到一個人流密集的地鐵站，經過6個多小時的叫賣，他終

于賣出了這件衣服。

他緊緊攥著兩美元，一路奔回了家。

以后，每天他都熱衷于從垃圾堆里淘出舊衣服，打理好后，去鬧市里賣。

如此過了10多天，父親突然又遞給他一件舊衣服：“你想想，這件衣服怎樣才能賣到20美元?”

怎么可能?這么一件舊衣服怎么能賣到20美元，他至多只值兩美元。

“你為什么不試一試呢?”父親啟發他，“好好想想，總會有辦法的。”

終于，他想到了一個好辦法。他請自己學畫畫的表哥在衣服上畫了一只可愛的唐老鴨與一只頑皮的米老鼠。

他選擇在一個貴族子弟學校的門口叫賣。不一會兒，一個開車接少爺放學的管家為他的小少爺買下了這件衣服。

那個十來歲的孩子十分喜愛衣服上的圖案，一高興，又給了他5美元的小費。25美元，這無疑是一筆巨款!相當于他父親一月的工資。

回到家后，父親又遞給他一件舊衣服：“你能把他賣到兩百美元嗎?”父親目光深邃，像一口老井幽幽地閃著光。

這一回，他沒有猶疑，他沉靜地接過了衣服，開始了思索。

兩個月后，機會終于來了。

當紅電影《霹靂嬌娃》的女主演拉佛西來到了紐約宣傳。

記者招待會結束后，他猛地推開身邊的保安，撲到了拉佛西身邊，舉著舊衣服請她簽個名。拉佛西先是一愣，但是馬上就笑了。我想，沒有人會拒絕一個純真的孩子。

拉佛西流暢地簽完名。

他笑了，黝黑的面龐，潔白的牙齒：“拉佛西女士，我能把這件衣服賣掉嗎?”

“當然，這是你的衣服，怎么處理完全是你的自由!”

他“哈”的一聲歡呼起來：“拉佛西小姐親筆簽名的運動衫，售價兩百美元!”

通過現場競價，一名石油商人以1200美元的高價收購了這件運動衫。

回到家里，他和父親，還有一大家人陷入了狂歡。父親感動得淚水橫流，不斷地親吻著他的額頭：“我原本打算，你要是賣不掉，我就派人買下這件衣服。沒想到你真的做到了。你真棒!我的孩子，你真的很棒……”

一輪明月升上山頭，透過窗戶柔柔地灑了一地。這個晚上，父親與他抵足而眠。

父親問：“孩子，從賣這三件衣服中，你明白了什么嗎?”

“我明白了，您是在啟發我，”他感動地說，“只要開動腦筋，辦法總是會有的。”

父親點了點頭，又搖了搖頭：“你說得不錯，但這不是我的初衷。”

“我只是想告訴你，一件只值1美元的舊衣服，都有辦法高貴起來。何況我們這些活生生的人呢?我們有什么理由對生活喪失信心呢?我們只不過黑一點窮一點，可這又有什么關系?”

這一剎那，他的心中，有一輪燦爛的太陽升了起來，照亮了他的全身和眼前的世界。“連一件舊衣服都有辦法高貴，我還有什么理由妄自菲薄呢!”

從此，他開始努力地學習，刻苦地鍛煉，時刻對未來充滿著希望。

20年后，他的名字傳遍了世界的每一個角落。

他的名字叫——邁克爾?喬丹。

后來，他決定用那片帶他到小島的木頭造一個簡陋的小木屋，以保護他在這險惡的環境中生存，并0且保存他所有剩下的東西。

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in

[b?t] [een] [w?n] [dei], [?ɑ:ft?] ['sk?v?nd???] [f?:] [fud], [hi:] [??raivd] [h?um] [tu:] [fa?nd] [hiz] [?l?tl] [h?t] [?n]

在所有我們所認為負面的事情，上帝都是有正面答案的。

第四篇：勵志英語故事

篇一：勵志小故事(中英文對照)2上帝那里沒有現成的果實

三個人千辛萬苦找到了上帝，請求他給予幫助。上帝問他們各需要什么。第一個人說他要一座大宅院；第二個人說，他要一個農莊；第三個人說他要一塊大金條。上帝說他可以滿足他們的需要。于是上帝給了第一個人一堆磚頭，給了第二個人一把種子，給了第三個人一把沙子。

no ready-made fruit in god’s hand three guys finally got the god through trials and errors.they were eager to ask god for help.right after the god asked what they want, the first man claim a big courtyard, the second a farmstead, and the third a bar of gold.god promised them.at last, the first man was given a pile of bricks, the second a bag of seed and the third a mass of sand.3蟲子的壓力

有這么一種蟲子，它的體長還不到一毫米，也許因為在電子顯微鏡下看起來像一頭黑熊，所以人們叫它雄蟲。它主要生活在淡水的沉渣，潮濕土壤以及苔蘚植物的水膜中。最近日本岡山大學物理學家小野文久發現了一個驚人的現象：當20只小熊蟲被放入密封的容器內，在實驗室制造的7.5萬個大氣壓下，20只熊蟲只有兩只死亡，其余的18只安然無恙。7.5萬個大氣壓！它相當于每平方豪米要承受700多千克重物的壓力，它足以上淀粉瞬間變性，生米頃刻為熟飯。自然條件下，地球上也只有180千米的地幔深處才擁有如此大的壓力。

至今沒有人能弄清楚熊蟲為何如此能忍。不只是出于對這種超強生命力的尊重還是懷疑，有人叫它地獄之蟲。一個長度不超過1毫米的微不足道的蟲子，能承受命運給他如此的壓力，相比較而言，我們這些自稱是高級動物，智慧生命，萬物之靈的人呢？在人的現實生活中，有多少小小的心結，小小的壓力構成我們所謂的生存壓力。在這樣的壓力下又有多少悲觀失落之人將美好的人生稱作地獄？現在一比才覺得，其實我們的壓力就好比是真空，我餓美女的地獄就是天堂中的天堂。在那一刻，我在心里默默地鞠了一躬，不是為熊蟲，而是感謝造物主沒有把這樣的壓力降在人間。worm’s pressure this is a worm whose body is no less than one millimeter.it is called 熊蟲(xc)perhaps for the reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop.the xc usually habited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜 of moss plants.recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本岡山大學物理學家小野文久: when 20 little xc were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 萬個大氣壓 making in experiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no trouble at all.7.5 萬個大氣壓, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerful enough to它足以上淀粉瞬間變性 and the rice ready to eat.in natural condition, this pressure can only be found in the 地幔 beneath the earth 180 kilogram.9.豪華大廈意味著衰落

珀金森的―辦公大樓法則‖是：某個組織的辦公大樓設計得越完美，裝飾得越豪華，該組織離解題的時間越進。

他發現，有許多生意興隆的公司影響巨大的組織都設在不起眼的地方，住在簡陋的房屋里，一旦搬進豪華的大廈，便轉到衰退的軌道。例如，圣彼得教堂、羅馬教堂、梵蒂岡教堂等宗教組織，就是在極盛時期開始修建這些教堂，宗教組織的實力就開始走下坡路了。國際聯盟大廈、凡爾賽宮、白金漢宮、英國殖民部辦工大樓等政治組織的大樓，都是在落成典禮之后，組織權勢便發生大幅度的下降，甚至帶來了厄運。如果珀金森了叫中國歷史，肯能會找到更多的例證，比如阿房宮，秦始皇陵等。為什么這些以豪華著稱的建筑物，都成了這些組織的―令莫‖了？

珀金森以科學的態度進行如下推測：一個組織在興旺發達之時。往往緊張而忙碌，沒有時間和精力去設計和修建瓊樓玉宇，當所有的重要工作都已經完成，想到要修建與其成就相稱的大樓時，其時間和精力遍集中到表面功夫上，當某個組織的大樓設計和建造趨向完美之際，她的存在就開始失去意義。完美我的樓堂意味著這定局，而定居意味著終結。摘自《方圓法制》

the meaning of wane on the skyscraper 珀金森‘s rule of business office is : the more perfect designed and more luxury the decoration cornament is, the nearer to its deadline.if 珀金森 know chinese history, then he may find more proofs like 阿房宮，秦始皇陵.i am wondering that why those architecture well-know as luxury al because the ―tomb‖ of their bodies? 10.在沉默中面對

最真實，最切己的人生感悟是找不到言辭的。

對于人生最重大的問題，我們沒跟人都是能在沉默中獨自面對。我們可以一般的談論愛情、孤獨、幸福、苦難、死亡等等，但是，那屬于每個人自己的真正意義始終在話語之外。我無法告訴別人我的愛情有多么溫柔，我的孤獨有多么絕望，我的幸福有多么美麗，我的幸福有多么美麗，我的苦難有多么沉重，我的死亡有多么荒誕。我只能把這一切藏在心中，我所說出的寫出的東西只是先思考的產物，而一切思考在某種意義上都是一種逃避，從最個別的逃向一般的，從命運逃向生活，從沉默的深淵逃向語言的彼岸。如果說他們尚未淪為純粹的空洞的概念，那也只是因為他們是從沉默中掙扎出來的，身上還散發著深淵里不可名狀的事物的七夕。

我不否認人與人之間溝通的可能，但我確信其前提是沉默，而不是言辭。美特林克說得好：沉默的性質解釋了一個人靈魂的性質。在不能共享沉默的兩個人之間，任何言辭都無法使他們的靈魂發生溝通。對于未曾在沉默中面對過相同問題的人來說，在深刻的哲理也只是一些套話，事實上那些淺薄的讀者奇缺分不清深刻的感悟和空洞的感嘆，格言和套話，哲理和老生常談，平淡和平庸，佛性和故弄玄虛的禪機。一個人言辭理解的深度取決于他對沉默理解的深度，歸根結底取決于她的沉默，亦即他的靈魂的深度。所以，在我看來，凡有志探究人生真理的人首要功夫便是沉默，在沉默中面對他靈魂中真正屬于自己的重大問題。到他有了足夠的孕育并因此感到不堪重負的時候，一切言語之門便向他打開了，這是他不但理解了有限的言辭，而且理解了言辭背后的沉默著的背后無限的存在。（摘自《中國社會報》）facing the reality in silence the truest and most expressive thought was hardly be expressed.14.容易走的都是下坡路

他在一所大學做教授，90歲的時候，荏苒每天堅持工作8小時，不論春秋冬夏，也不論風霜雨雪。

他的秘書說：―他很衰弱，但是每天逼著自己從住的地方走過兩個街口到辦公室來，這段路要走一個小時，他卻一定要走，因為這使他自覺有成就感。‖ 有一天，有個大學生從他辦公室里出來，捧著一大堆書，一臉不高興的抱怨：―總是這一套。我問一個和簡單的問題，他可以用一個‘是‘或‘否‘回答，卻給我十幾本書，說可以在這些書里找到我所要的答案。‖

他后來知道了這個學生的抱怨，微笑著說：―這就是我學到的讀書方法，艱難費事的方法。那孩子如能好好的鉆研這些書，就可以了解這個問題，將來也許能成為一個好律師。‖ 這個90歲的老人就是曾任美國哈佛大學法學院院長的龐德。有一位哲學家說：―你應該每一兩天做一些你不想做的事。‖ 這是人生進步的基礎。

正如另一位哲人所說―容易走的都是下坡路。‖ all slopes are easy to go he was a professor.at the age of 90, he still work eight hours everyday regardless the season and weather.his secretary said: ―he is extremely old, but he forced himself walk from his living place to office through two blocks.it would take him an hour, but he insisted to because it makes him get a sense of success.‖

this 90-year-old man was 龐德, who was the president of law college in haward university.once a philosophist said: ―you should do some thing that you don not want toevery one or two days.‖

this is the foundation of life progress.just like another phlosophist said: ―all slopes are easy to go.‖ 16．公平的分配

一個炎熱的下午，兩個農民在一棵大樹下乘涼。其中一個叫拉姆，另一個叫希亞。兩個人都帶著美味的面包充當午飯。拉姆帶了3個面包，希亞帶了5個。正當他們準備吃午飯的時候，一個商人路過此地。

―下午好，兩位先生。‖商人向拉姆和希亞問候道。商人看起來又累又餓，所以拉姆和希亞邀請他和他們一起吃午飯。

―但是我們有三個人怎么分這三個面包呢？‖拉姆為難了。

―我們把面包放在一起，再把每個面包切成均等的三塊。‖希亞建議道。把面包切開后，他們把面包平均分成三份，每個人都不多也不少。

吃完面包后，商人堅持要給他們錢。拉姆和希亞推辭不掉，只好收下。待商人離開后，兩人一數金幣的數量——8個。

―8個金幣，兩個人。我們就每人4個金幣。‖拉姆說道。

―這不公平。‖西亞大聲反對，―我有5個面包，你只有3個。所以我應該拿5個金幣，你只能拿3個。‖

拉姆不想爭吵，但他也不想給希亞5個金幣。

―我們去找村長做裁決。他是個公正的人。‖拉姆說道。

他們來到村長毛爾維的家，把整個事情的經過告訴了他。毛爾維想了很久，最后說：―分配這筆錢的公平辦法就是希亞拿7個金幣，拉姆拿1個。‖ ―什么？‖拉姆驚叫道。

―我為什么該得7個？‖希亞也覺得很奇怪。

當毛爾維把他的分配理由解釋清楚后，拉姆和希亞打偶沒有對這個分配再提出異議。這真的是一個公平的裁決嗎？

要知道毛爾維的裁決是否公平，就要先回答這些問題： 1、8個面包被切成了多少塊？

2、每個人吃了多少塊面包？

3、拉姆的面包被分成了多少塊？

4、拉姆吃了8塊面包，還剩幾塊留給商人？

5、希亞的面包被分成了多上塊？

6、希亞吃了8塊面包，還剩幾塊留給商人？

毛爾維決定只給拉姆一個硬幣，而給希亞7個，是因為商人吃了8塊面包，只有一塊是從拉姆的面包中來的，而其余7塊都是希亞的。

During the Spring and Autumn Period(707sighted and covets small advantages.If we give him priceless precious stones and fine horses, it is not unlikely that he will allow our army to pass through his country.“ Seeing that Duke Xian of the State of Jin was a little bit grudging, Xun Xi continued to say, ”The State of Yu and the State of Guo are neighbor stated as closely related as lips and teeth.The State of Yu cannot exist independently if the state of Guo is destroyed.Your precious stones and fime hores are just left in the care of the monarch of the State of Yu.“ So Duke Xian of the State of Jin accepted Xun Xi's plan.When the monarch of Yu saw the precious gifts, he was elated,and

readily promised to let the Jin army pass through his state.Hearing the news, Gong Zhiqi, one of the ministers as the State of Yu, hastened to admonish the monarch, saying,” That won't do.For the State of Yu and the State of Guo are neighbor states as closely related as lips and teeth.Our two small states are interdependent, and can help cach other when problems crop up.If the State of Guo were destroyed, it would be difficult for our State of Yu to continue to exist.As the common saying goes, if the lips are gone ,the teeth will be cold, The teeth can hardly be kept if the lips are gone.So it won't do at all to allow the Jin army pass our state.“ The monarch of the State of Yu said,” The State of Jin is a big state.Now they here specially to present gifts to us with the intention of being on friendly terms with us.Under suchcircumstances, how can we refuse to allow them to pass through our state?“ Hearing this, Gong Zhiqi sighed repeatedly.Knowing that the State of Yu would soon be destroyed, Gong Zhiqi left the State of Yu together with his whole family.As expected, the troops of the State of Jin, allowed to pass through the State of Yu, destroyed the State of Guo and on their return trip captured the monarch of the State of Yu who went out personally to meet them, htus destroying the State of Yu as Well.This story appears in the chapter ” The Fifth Year of Duke Xi “ in Zuo zhuan,the famous commentary by Zuo Qiuming on The Spring and Autumn Annals.The set phrase ” if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold " is used to mean that two persons or things share a common lot and that is one fails ,the other is in danger.春秋時候，晉獻公想要擴充自己的實力和地盤，就找借口說鄰近的虢(guó)國經常侵犯

晉國的邊境，要派兵滅了虢國。可是在晉國和虢國之間隔著一個虞國，討伐虢國必須經過虞地。“怎樣才能順利通過虞國呢?”晉獻公問手下的大臣。大夫荀息說：“虞國國君是個目光短淺、貪圖小利的人，只要我們送他價值連城的美玉和寶馬，他不會不答應借道的。”晉獻公一聽有點舍不得，荀息看出了晉獻公的心思，就說：“虞虢兩國是唇齒相依的近鄰，虢國滅了，虞國也不能獨存，您的美玉寶馬不過是暫時存放在虞公那里罷了。”晉獻公采納了荀息的計策。

虞國國君見到這兩們珍貴的禮物，頓時心花怒放，聽到荀息說要借道虞國之事時，當時就滿口答應下來。虞國大夫宮之奇聽說后，趕快阻止道：“不行，不行，虞國和虢國是唇齒相依的近鄰，我們兩個小國相互依存，有事可以自彼幫助，萬一虢國滅了，我們虞國也就難保了。俗話說：‘唇亡齒寒’，沒有嘴唇，牙齒也保不住啊!借道給晉國萬萬使不得。”虞公說：“人家晉國是大國，現在特意送來美玉寶馬和咱們交朋友，難道咱們借條道路讓他們走走都不行嗎?”宮之奇連聲嘆氣，知道虞國離滅亡的日子不遠了，于是就帶著一家老小離開了虞國。

果然，晉國軍隊借道虞國，消滅了虢國，隨后又把親自迎接晉軍的虞公抓住，滅了虞國。故事出自《左傳·僖公五年》。成語“唇亡齒寒”，比喻雙方關系密切，相互依存。兩分鐘做個小測試，看看你的英語水平
