既简单又短的英语故事：A Good Sandwich

Gordon was hungry. He opened the refrigerator. There must be something in here to eat, he thought. There was—a single hot dog.

He took it out of its package and put a small frying pan onto the stove’s gas burner. He turned on the heat. Then he poured a little bit of vegetable oil into the pan. He sliced the hot dog in half lengthwise. When the oil got hot, he put the two halves in the pan. About a minute later, heflipped each half over. After another minute, he took the hot dog out of the pan.

Gordon put two slices of bread into the toaster. This was tasty and healthy bread. The first ingredient listed was organic sprouted wheat. The first ingredient in ordinary bread is usually unbleached flour.

When the toast popped up, he put mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup on one slice. Then he added two slices of onion. On top of the onions, he placed the hot dog. On top of the hot dog, he put a couple of slices of apple. Then he added some bits of hot green chile, and then put the top piece of toast onto the chile bits.

Ahh, what a sandwich, he thought, as he sat down to eat.

既简单又短的英语故事：Please Marry Me!

Jill answered the phone. It was Jack.

"Jill, will you marry me next week?"

"What?"

Jack repeated his question.

"Of course not," she replied. She wondered why he was asking her that question. They had already agreed that when people get married, they immediately start to take each other for granted. They don’t do the "little things" like opening the car door or holding hands. They get too comfortable. They treat their partner like an old shoe. And eventually, they get bored with each other and get divorced.

"We already agreed that we don’t want to get married because we don’t want to get divorced."

Jack agreed. But he argued that they were special. They were different from other couples. They loved each other too much to end up in a divorce.

"Yes, that may be true. But still, why next week? Why can’t we think about it for another year or two?"

"Because I had two dreams the last two nights. In both dreams, you left me for another man. In fact, you left me for two different men. I want to get married now so I don’t have these dreams anymore."

"Hmm. What did these men look like?"

既简单又短的英语故事：Carbon Monoxide

Helen stepped outside her front door to see what the weather was like. It was sunny and warm. That was nice, because for the past two weeks it had been cold and rainy. It had been so cold that she had had to turn her heater on. She was lucky, because her heater worked and she could pay her heating bills.

Some people in Los Angeles were not so lucky. Unable to use their home heater, they placedcharcoal into a barbecue grill and lit it. The heat kept them warm, but the carbon monoxide killed them.

This happens almost every winter in Los Angeles. People shut all the windows tight to keep the cold out, then light the charcoal. Soon enough, the oxygen in their home is consumed by the open flames. The family suffocates to death.

Everyone knows that smoke detectors are required in Los Angeles. But many people don't know about, or don't think they need, carbon monoxide detectors. They're not expensive. A $25 investment can save a family from death.

People always think that nothing bad will happen to them; it always happens to "the other guy." So they forget to put fresh batteries into their smoke detectors annually, and they don't bother to buy carbon monoxide detectors.

既简单又短的英语故事：The Fire Alarm

Jennifer's ears were "talking" to her. They were making little sounds, like little bubbles bursting. A "bubble" was bursting almost every second. It was not painful, but annoying. She knew the cause.

While she was cleaning the whiteboard after her class ended last night, the fire alarm went off. Instead of leaving the building immediately, she walked around to see what the problem was. The blaring alarm sounded like the busy signal on a phone, but 1,000 times louder. The school seemed to be empty. Then she walked by one room, and saw about seven students inside.

Just then the night supervisor came by. She told everyone to leave immediately. The students were packing their hair-care equipment into their bags. The night supervisor waited impatiently. Finally, after almost five minutes, all the students and their teacher left the building. They apologized for being so slow.

The firemen never arrived. Instead, a school police officer showed up. He walked around the area with the supervisor. It was a false alarm. The officer used his key to finally turn off the alarm.

But it was too late for Jennifer. She had listened to the loud alarm for too long. She should have known better. Even as she drove home, her ears felt strange.

既简单又短的英语故事：Raising the Kids

Louise and Neil had been dating for three years. She was 40, and he was 50. They wanted to get married and have two kids as soon as possible, but there was a problem. They disagreed on how they would raise their kids.

Because Louise had a high-paying job, Neil could stay home and raise the kids. He looked forward to that, because he felt that he would be a great dad. First, he would teach them how to read. Then he would teach them about life. His kids were not going to waste their time reading fairy tales and watching Sesame Street. They were going to learn practical stuff, like how to use Microsoft Office and how to get a four-year scholarship to Harvard. He wanted them to become business majors, because business is where the money is.

Louise had other plans. She wanted her kids to relax and enjoy life. She didn't want them to grow up too fast. She was the oldest child in a poor family, and her father had put her to work in the fields as soon as she turned six. Life had been hard for her. She didn't want it to be hard for her children.

Neil said not to worry. There was still plenty of time for him to figure out a way for the kids to have fun and still become happy millionaires.

The toy soldier with one-leg loved the ballerina. He wanted to dance with her, but he couldn't ask her because he only had one leg.

那位只有一条腿的玩具士兵很喜欢芭蕾舞女。他想邀她共舞，但是因为只有一条腿，他不好意思去邀请。

One day, a little girl bought the ballerina and took her to her house. The toy soldier was so sad. That night, the wind blew very hard. The toy soldier fell down to the street because of the wind. Some naughty boys found the toy soldier.

有一天，一个小女孩将芭蕾舞女买回家了。玩具士兵很伤心。那天晚上，大风呼呼的刮着。玩具士兵被大风吹落在街上。淘气的男孩子们发现了玩具士兵。

"Look at him! This toy soldier has only one leg. Let's throw him into the river." The boys threw him in the river. When the toy soldier was drifting down the river, a big fish came over and swallowed him in its mouth.

“快看!这个玩具士兵只有一条腿。我们把他扔进河里吧，”于是男孩们把士兵扔到了河里。当玩具士兵顺着河水漂流时，一条大鱼游了过来张口把他吞进了嘴里。

After a while, the fish was caught by a fisherman's rod. He sold the fish to a woman. She cut the fish while preparing dinner after she came back home. She found the toy soldier inside of the fish. The woman was surprised. "Oh, what is this?" She gave him to her daughter.

第二天早上，女士在壁炉中发现一块心形的铜块。这象征着玩具士兵和芭蕾舞女美好的爱情。

达蒙和皮西厄斯

A young man whose name was Pythias had done something which the tyrant Dionysius did not like. For this offence he was dragged to prison, and a day was set when he should be put to death. His home was far away, and he wanted very much to see his father and mother and friends before he died.

一个生轻人名叫皮西厄斯，做了一件暴君迪奥尼修斯不喜欢的事情。因为对暴君的冒犯，皮西厄斯被投进了监狱，还确定了被处死的日期。因为离家很远，他非常想在临死之前去看看父母和朋友们。

"Only give me leave to go home and say good-by to those whom I love," he said, "and then I will come back and give up my life."

“就让我回去辞别我爱的人吧，”他说，“然后我会回来终结我的生命。”

The tyrant laughed at him.

暴君嘲笑他。

"How can I know that you will keep your promise?" he said. "You only want to cheat

me, and save yourself."

“我怎么知道你会信守诺言?”他说。“你只想欺骗我.救你自己。”

Then a young man whose name was Darmon spoke and said.

这时一位名叫达蒙的年轻男子开口说:

"O king! Put me in prison in place of my friend Pythias, and let him go to his own country to put his affairs in order, and to bid his friends farewell. I know that he will come back as he promised, for he is a man who has never gone back on his word. But if he is not here on the day which you have set, then I will die in his stead."

“噢，国王!把我送进监狱，让我代替我的朋友皮西厄斯，让他回自己的国家，处理好事务，与他的朋友们告别吧。我知道他一定会信守诺言回来的，因为他是一个从不食言的人。但是，如果在你设定的那天，他没有回到这里，我愿替他去死。”

The tyrant was surprised that anybody should make such an offer. He at last agreed to let Pythias go, and gave orders that the young man Damon should be shut up in prison.

暴君很惊，竟然有人提出这样的请求。他终于同意让皮西厄斯回去，并下令把达蒙关进监狱。

Time passed, and by and by the day drew near which had been set for Pythias to die;and he had not come back. The tyrant ordered the jailer to keep close watch upon Darnon, and not let him escape. But Damon did not try to escape. He still had faith in the truth and honor of his friend. He said, "If Pythias does not come back in time, it will not be his fault.It will be because he is hindered against his will."

时间流逝，，日子一天天过去，离皮西厄斯的死期越来越近，而他还没有回来。暴君命令狱吏严密监视达蒙，不让他逃跑、但是达蒙并没有试图逃跑，他仍然相信他朋友的真诚和名誉。他说:“如果皮西厄斯没有按时回来，那也不是他的错，肯定是他受到了阻碍，违背了他的意愿。”

At last the day came, and then the very hour. Damon was ready to die. His trust in his friend was as firm as ever; and he said that he did not grieve at having to suffer for one whom he loved so much.

这一天最终降临，行刑的时间到了。达蒙准备接受死刑，但他对朋友的信任一如既往地坚定，他说他为一个他深爱的朋友遭受痛苦，他并不感到悲伤。

Then the jailer came to lead him to his death; but at the same moment Pythias stood in the door. He had been delayed by storms and shipwreck, and he had feared that he was too late. He greeted Damon kindly, and then gave himself into the hands of the jailer. He was happy because he thought that he had come in time, even though it was at the last moment.

狱卒准备带他去行刑台，但就在这时，皮西厄斯出现在了门口。风暴和船舶失事使他延误了行程.他害怕回来得太晚。他友好地向达蒙问候，之后把自己交到狱卒手中。他很高兴，因为他认为他准时回来了，虽然是在最后一刻。

自私的巨人

Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's garden.

每天下午，孩子们放学回来，总会去巨人的花园里玩耍。

It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. "How happy we are here!" they cried to each other.

这是一个可爱的大花园，长满了柔嫩的青草。草丛间到处盛开着美丽的鲜花，如繁星点点。花园里还有十二棵桃树，每到春天，粉红色和珍珠色的花朵姣美诱人，到了秋天树上果实累累。鸟儿栖息在枝头动听地唱着，孩子们都禁不住停止游戏，细心聆听。“我们在这儿多么快乐!”他们互相欢叫。

One day the Giant came back. 1-1e had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle.When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.

有一天巨人回来了。他去拜访康沃尔的怪物朋友，和他一起住了七年。七年结束了，巨人说完了想说的话，因为他的话总有个尽头，他决定回到自己的城堡。当他到家的时候，看见孩子们正在花园里玩耍。

"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.

“你们在这儿做什么‘!”他非常粗暴地喊道，孩子们跑开了。

"My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant; "any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself." So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.

“我自己的花园就是我自己的，”巨人说道，“随便什么人都明白。除了我以外，我不允许任何人在花园里玩。”于是他在花园的四周砌起了高高的围墙，支起一块告示牌。

He first played the "Exercise of Qing Jiao", but the cow still kept on eating grass with head lowered. He seemed to realize that the melody was too highbrow for the cow to understand.

So he played several other melodies, imitating the buzzing sounds of swarms of flying mosquitoes, and the bleats of a calf looking for its companions. At this, to his surprise, the cow stopped eating grass, but raised its head, pricked up its ears, wagged its tail and, pacing up and down in small steps, began to listen attentively.
