兩個士兵碰到了強盜，結果是什麼?下面是小編整理的英語小故事，歡迎大家閱讀!
The Two Soldiers And The Robber
Two Soldiers travelling together were set upon by a Robber. One of them ran away, but the other stood his ground, and laid about him so lustily with his sword that the Robber was fain to fly and leave him in peace. When the coast was clear the timid one ran back, and, flourishing his weapon, cried in a threatening voice, “Where is he? Let me get at him, and I’ll soon let him know whom he’s got to deal with.” But the other replied, “You are a little late, my friend: I only wish you had backed me up just now, even if you had done no more than speak, for I should have been encouraged, believing your words to be true. As it is, calm yourself, and put up your sword: there is no further use for it. You may delude others into thinking you’re as brave as a lion: but I know that, at the first sign of danger, you run away like a hare.”
兩個士兵一起趕路，途中被一個強盜所劫。其中一個士兵馬上逃跑了，另一個則勇敢地握着劍立在原地，強盜不得不其他而逃。這時候，那個膽小的士兵跑過來，抽出劍，壯着膽子大喝一聲：“他去哪裏了?讓我來對付他，我要讓他知道面對的是什麼人。”然而，那名勇敢的士兵說：“你來晚了，我的朋友。要是你剛纔能幫我就好了，即便只是嘴上這樣說也好，因爲我會受到你這番話的鼓舞，並且相信這些話都說真的。而現在，還是請你把劍收好，已經沒有必要再用它了。你只能欺騙其他人，讓人們以爲你像雄獅一樣勇敢;而我卻知道，在遇到危險時，你會像兔子一樣落荒而逃。”
風和太陽(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.” (有一天風跟太陽說: “看看那個沿着路上走的`人.我可以比你快讓他把披風脫下來.)
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.” (“我們等着看吧,”太陽說, “我讓你先試.)
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself. (因此風嘗試讓那個人把披風脫下來.他用力地吹,可是那個人把披風拉得更緊.)
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak. (“我放棄了,”風最後說, “我無法讓他把披風脫下來.”然後由太陽試試看.他儘可能地曬他.不久,那個人很熱就把披風脫下來了.)
Pirate's Treasure--Written by Carol Moore
"Ten steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes," growled Bluebeard in Jimmy's dream one night. "There be treasure there! Aawrgh."
So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high.
He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.
He dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. "I'm too tired. I can't dig anymore." Then he spied something...
it was only one of Woofy's bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought "That pirate lied to me!"
But when Jimmy's mother saw what he had done, she clasped her hands and smiled a smile from here to Sunday. "Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here's $5.00 for digging that hole."
“距離走廊十步，玫瑰花叢20步的地方，”一天夜裏藍鬍子在吉米的夢裏咆哮道，“那裏有珍寶!”
所以第二天，吉米開始挖。他一直挖，直到坑很深了，挖出的土堆得很高了。
他不停地挖。坑越來越深，土越堆越高。
他一直挖，直到坑已經非常深，土堆得非常高。他嘆了口氣：“我太累了。我不能再挖了。”然後他開始搜索。
但是除了一塊伍菲的骨頭，他什麼也沒找到。吉米所得到的僅僅是一塊狗啃的骨頭，一個坑還有一大堆土，而不是財寶。他想：“那個海盜欺騙了我!”
但當吉米的媽媽看到他所做的一切，她高興得拍手。從那時一直拍到星期天。“哦，謝謝你，吉米。我一直以來都想在那裏栽一叢杜鵑花。這5美元獎勵你挖那個坑。”
