  篇一

  Genius at Work ***天才在工作***

  Henry ford didn‘t always pay attention in school. one day ,he and a friend took a watch apart. angry and upset, the teacher told him both to stay after school. their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. but the teacher did not know young ford’s genius. in ten minutes, this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home……

  ford was always interested in how things worked. he once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. then he waited to see what would happen. the water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. the explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window.

  the young inventor was badly scalded ford‘s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. he dreamed of a horseless carriage. when he built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.

  亨利。福特在學校裡常常心不在焉。有一天,他和一個小朋友把一塊手錶拆開了。老師很生氣,讓他們放學後留下來,把表修好才能回家。當時這位老師並不知道小福特的天才。只用了十分鐘,這位機械奇才就把手錶修好,走在回家的路上了。

  福特對各種東西的工作原理總是很感興趣。曾有一次,他把茶壺嘴用東西堵住,然後把茶壺放在火爐上。他便站在一邊等候著會出現什麼情況。當然,水開後變成了水蒸氣。因為水蒸氣無處逸出,茶壺便爆炸了,因而打碎了一面鏡子和一扇窗戶。這個小發明家也被嚴重地燙傷了。

  多年後,福特的好奇心和他的動手能力使他得到了回報。他曾經夢想著去製造一輛無馬行進的車。他造成了一輛這樣的車後,運輸界發生了永久性的變化。

  篇二

  About Love 關於愛情的種種你瞭解多少?

  第二天的午飯是非常美味的餡餅,小龍蝦和羊肉片。我們正吃飯時,廚子尼卡諾來問客人們晚上想吃些什麼。他是一箇中等身材,胖臉,小眼睛的人,齊鬍子根颳了臉,這使得看起來他的鬍子彷彿不是刮掉的,而是被連根拔掉的。阿列恆告訴我們美麗的帕拉吉愛上了這個廚子,因為他喝酒且性格粗暴,帕拉吉不想嫁給她,但是願意與他婚外同居。廚子是個很虔誠的人,他的宗教信仰不允許他“過著有罪的生活”。他堅持帕拉吉嫁給他,此外其它的事都答應她,可是他喝醉時經常大罵帕拉吉,甚至打她。無論何時廚子喝醉了酒,帕拉吉就習慣於躲到樓上哭泣,每當這個時候阿列恆和僕人們就待在屋裡準備萬一需要保護帕拉吉。

  At lunch next day there were very nice pies,crayfish,and mutton cutlets;and while we were eating,Nikanor,the cook,came up to ask what the visitors would like for dinner. He was a man of medium height,with a puffy face and little eyes;he was close-shaven,and it looked as though his moustaches had not been shaved,but had been pulled out by the roots. Alehin told us that the beautiful Pelagea was in love with this cook. As he drank and was of a violent character,she did not want to marry him,but was willing to live with him without. He was very devout,and his religious convictions would not allow him to“live in sin”;he insisted on her marrying him,and would consent to nothing else,and when he was drunk he used to abuse her and even beat her. Whenever he got drunk she used to hide upstairs and sob,and on such occasions Alehin and the servants stayed in the house to be ready to defend her in case of necessity.

  Anton Chekhov
