　　短篇英語美文：皮特寫給朱莉的一封信

　　"My wife got sick. She was constantly nervous because of problems at work, personal life, her failures and problems with children.

　　She has lost 30 pounds and weighed about 90 pounds in her 35 years. She got very skinny, and was constantly crying. She was not a happy woman. She had suffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nerves in her back and ribs.

　　She did not sleep well, falling asleep only in the morning and got tired very quickly during the day. Our relationship was on the verge of break up.

　　Her beauty was leaving her somewhere, she had bags under her eyes, she was poking her head, and stopped taking care of herself. She refused to shoot the films and rejected any role.

　　I lost hope and thought that we'll get divorced soon…But then I decided to act on it.

　　After all I've got the most beautiful woman on the earth.

　　She is the idol of more than half of men and women on earth, and I was the one allowed to fall asleep next to her and to hug her shoulders.

　　I began to pamper her with flowers, kisses and compliments. I surprised her and pleased her every minute. I gave her lots of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public only about her. I incorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in front of her own and our mutual friends.

　　You won't believe it, but she blossomed. She became even better than before. She gained weight, was no longer nervous and she loved me even more than ever. I had no clue that she CAN love that much. And then I realized one thing: The woman is the reflection of her man. If you love her to the point of madness, she will become it."

　　- Brad Pitt

　　短篇英語美文：The third,you may 第三隻雞留著自己吃

　　A rich farmer's son, who had been bred at the university, always came at Christmas, to visit his father and mother.

　　One evening, they were all three at supper, and two fowls having been served up, he told them that, by logic and arithmetic, he could prove those two chickens to be three.

　　"Well," said his father, "you ought to teach us how that can be done."

　　"Why!" Cried the scholar. "This is one, and that," continued he, "is two, one and two, you know, make three."

　　"Very clever, indeed, and very funny," returned the father, "but you ought to have told us also, how we are to divide those two fowls among us three. Perhaps you could not have managed that so easily, so I will assist you: your mother shall have the first fowl, I will have the second, and the third, you may keep for yourself, as reward for your great learning."

　　一個有錢的農民有一個兒子，他在大學接受過教育，總是聖誕節回家去看望他的父母。

　　一天晚上，他們三人在一起吃晚飯，有兩隻雞被端上來，他用邏輯與計算的知識告訴他們，他能證明兩隻雞可以變成三隻。

　　“好啊，”他父親說。“你應該教教我們怎麼做。”

　　“哎呀，”學者叫道：“這是一，那個，”他接著說：“是二，一加二，你知道，等於三。”

　　“非常聰明，真的，而且很有趣，”父親回答道，“但是你也應該告訴我們，我們如何分配那兩隻雞，也學你解決起來不會那麼容易，所以我來幫助你，你媽媽應該吃第一隻，我吃第二隻，第三隻你應該留給自己，作為你學得好的獎勵。”

　　魏文侯喝酒喝得正高興，忽然想起與掌管山澤田獵的虞人越好打獵時間到了。雖然這是天正下雨，魏文侯還是命令出發。

　　他的親信侍從見魏文侯準備動身，就問道：“今天這喝得這麼高興，外面又下雨，您這是準備去哪兒呢?”魏文侯說：“我與虞約好今天見面去打獵，雖然喝酒喝得正在興頭上，但怎麼可以不遵守約定的時間呢?”

　　於是便親自到虞人那裡，和他談了自己現在歡快的心情，取消了原定的打獵計劃。
