著名的英語故事

　　英美文化的特點決定了英語故事中總是充滿了冒險的情節,語言的表現相對於中文故事更為風趣幽默,而冒險精神和風趣幽默又是兩個有鮮明男性特點的品質。下面是小編帶來的，歡迎閱讀!

　　篇一

　　A Misunderstanding

　　In general, spoken statements are the major way of communication, but body language and facial s also have such kinds of function. For example, yawning means being not interested and turning one’s back to someone or swinging your fist shows your anger. But what those gestures really mean is subjective in different cultures. Thus, misunderstandings happen now and then in today’s world of cultural crossroads.xiao84

　　Once, representing the Adults’ Education Association, I went to the airport to meet an official of high rank from Columbia and take him to his dormitory and then to the canteen. After the flight arrived, I saw a man looking around curiously. So I approached to greet him. He suddenly dashed to hug me and kissed me on both cheeks. As a young girl, I felt truly embarrassed and put up my hands to defend myself. His false smile told me that he had lost face.

　　Later, I received a cassette from him, in which he recorded his apology. On hearing that Columbians were more likely to kiss others, I soon felt at ease.

　　一場誤會

　　通常說來，口頭表達是人們交流的主要方法，但是肢體語言和麵部表情也有這種功能。例如，打哈欠意味著不感興趣，背對別人或向其揮舞拳頭表達的是憤怒。但是在不同的文化中那些手勢表達的真正意思是很主觀的。由此，誤會就時不時地發生在今天這個文化交叉碰撞的世界裡。

　　有一回，我代表成人教育協會到機場去接一位從哥倫比亞來的高階官員，我得帶他到宿舍和食堂。當他的航班到達時，我看見一名男子好奇地東張西望，於是走上前去和他打招呼。他突然猛衝過來擁抱我，還親了我的臉頰。還是個年輕姑娘的我感到真尷尬，不由自主舉起手來保護自己。他的假笑告訴我他感到丟了面子。

　　後來，我收到他送來的一盒磁帶，裡面錄了他的道歉。當聽到這只是因為哥倫比亞人更傾向於見面時互相親吻時，我很快就感到輕鬆安心了。

　　篇二

　　Chaplin-A Great Master of Humour

　　Chaplin was an extraordinary performer who starred in and directed many outstanding comedies. Few were bored watching his moustache, his gestures or his entertaining reactions when chased by detectives. Being drunk, sliding on a banana skin or whispering his own failures to nobody, he made us feel more content with our life without any verbal explanation. His particular sense of humor has astonished everybody throughout the world up to now.

　　In a small budget film, he played a badly-off and homeless person wearing worn-out shoes and messy clothes. On one occasion, he was trapped by a snowstorm in a vast mountainous area. Though he overcame many difficulties, he wasn’t fortunate enough. With all the porridge eaten up, he picked out a shoe and boiled it to eat. He cut off the leather bottom and chewed it like a pancake. According to an actress, his acting was so convincing and amusing that everybody couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

　　【參考譯文】

　　卓別林是一名非凡的演員，他主演並導演了多部傑出的喜劇。看見他可笑的小鬍子、滑稽的手勢動作，還有面對警探的追捕時有趣的反應，很少有人會覺得厭煩。喝醉酒啦，踩到香蕉皮滑倒啦，或者自言自語***低語***自己的糗事啦，他無需任何語言解釋的表演總是使我們對自己的生活感到更加滿意。他獨特的幽默感直到現在依然使世界各地的人們都感到驚訝。

　　在一部小預算的電影裡，他穿著磨破的鞋子和髒兮兮的衣服，扮演了一名貧窮又無家可歸的人。在一幕場景中，他被一場暴風雪困在一片多山的區裡。儘管他克服了許多困難，但是他還是運氣不好的。粥都吃完了，他只好挑出一隻鞋子煮來吃。他切下皮革的鞋底，像烙餅一樣地咀嚼起來。據一名女演員所說，他的表演是如此地令人信服而又逗人發笑的，以致在場的所有人都忍不住大笑起來。

　　篇三

　　A New Farming Way

　　Tuan was a farmer in Vietnam. For decades, he had been struggling to rid his family of hunger. However, it always confused him how to expand the output of his crops. This disturbing problem led to his regretting being a farmer. He would rather have chosen another job. xiao84

　　One day, when skimming through a newspaper, Tuan read a comment on Yuan Longpin. He underlined Yuan’s nationality and occupation, and then focused on his discovery and the statistics of his research. He found the knowledge Yuan circulated very practical. Therefore, he made a summary and began to build up a new farming method. He planted super grain of rich nutrition and equipped himself to keep his crops roots free from bacteria and pests. He also enriched minerals in the soil while reducing chemical fertilizers. Though it cost him more time and freedom, he was full of hope.

　　The next year, Tuan was sunburnt but satisfied with his production very much. Thanks to Yuan Longpin, he not only won the battle against hunger, but he could also export his crops abroad.

　　新的耕種方式

　　俊是一名越南的農民，幾十年來，他都一直在努力使家人擺脫飢餓。然而，如何擴大他的農作物產量這一問題卻一直在困擾著他。這個惱人的問題導致了他後悔當一名農民，而寧願自己當初選擇其它的工作。

　　一天，俊在瀏覽報紙的時候，讀到一篇關於袁隆平的評論。他在袁的國籍和職業下面劃了線，然後將焦點集中在他的發現和研究資料上。他發現袁傳播的知識非常實用，因此，他做了摘要，並開始建立一種新的耕作方式。他種植營養豐富的超級穀物，添置裝置以使作物的根部免受細菌害蟲的傷害;他還增加土壤所含的礦物質，同時減少化學肥料的使用。儘管耗費了他更多的時間和自由，他卻充滿著希望。

　　第二年，俊被晒黑了，但是卻對自己的生產非常滿意。多虧了袁隆平，他不僅贏得了對抗飢餓的戰鬥，而且還將自己的作物出口到國外呢。
