??人续写600字短文桑拉开了帐子。渔夫提起马灯，看见两个金黄色头发，圆圆脸蛋的小孤儿。
“原来你已经把他们抱回来了？”渔夫困惑不解地问。
“噢，真对不起！我自作主张把西蒙的孩子抱回来，没经过你的同意，哦真怕你会揍我啊！”
“怎么回呢，你做得很好，我又怎么会揍你呢，桑娜。”
桑娜听了，深情地望着渔夫，心里犹如放下了千斤大石，微微一笑，轻轻的抚摸这两个孩子。
“放心吧，桑娜，我们只要多努力捕鱼，上帝一定会保佑我们的，我相信日子不会很艰苦，总会熬得过去的。”
“嗯，是的。”
“好了，你也累了，快去睡吧。”渔夫拍了拍桑娜的肩，桑娜放下手中的活儿，熄了灯，安心地睡了。在梦里，她看见了渔夫出海满载而归，孩子们活得很健康，生活过得很温馨。
第二天早上，柔和的太阳光投进小屋里，屋里显得特别温暖。孩子们都醒了，两个孤儿看见自己身在异处，不见了妈妈，便大哭起来，桑娜只好哄哄他们说：“乖吧，宝贝，你们的`妈妈到了外地工作，去挣钱，你们要乖啊，你们知道吗。”两个孩子似乎明白了，立刻静了下来。
渔夫划着小渔船，向桑娜和孩子们招手：“放心吧！孩子们、桑娜，我一定不会令你们失望的，等我的好消息吧！”说着，他带着坚毅的信念，带着全家人的希望，踏风而去，越去越远，渐渐消失在红日和海的交界线里。
桑娜照顾着七个孩子，把屋子整理得整整齐齐，打扫得一干二净，食具放在搁板上闪闪发亮，她耐心地等待着丈夫回来。
调皮的太阳玩累了，悄悄地躲在山后。桑娜在门外徘徊着，焦急地等待她丈夫回来。
“嗨，桑娜，我回来啦！”渔夫正在远处驶来。只见他笑容满面，船上的鱼在活蹦乱跳，多得再也装不下了。“你看，我们成功了，多得上帝保佑，给我们收了！”
“哈哈哈。”一家人高兴地笑了，渔夫一手抱起了两个孤儿，望着他们，欣慰地笑了。
红红的太阳，正目睹了一切。他也慈祥的笑了，笑得多么的灿烂、温暖，意味着他们一家将更美满、幸福。
英语作文中的短文【四】
Paul Robert在《英语句子结构》(English Sentence Structure一书中指出:“据多数情况来看,歧义的产生并非故意的。它是由运用句子结构时的疏忽造成的,以致没有能够将可以使意义清晰的标记包罗到句子中去。(周立人,1997∶6”于是忽视使用表明句子结构的句法代号就引起了语法歧义。伍谦光(1995∶199认为:“‘语法歧义’是指由于对句子中的句法结构有不同理解而产生的歧义。”语法歧义最常见,也最复杂。下面是一些具有代表性的类例:
1.1词性
一个句子往往由于无法确定某个词的词性而变得无法理解。
(1College demands change.
很明显,例句中的demands既可理解为动词,也可理解为名词。change同样如此。于是此句就产生了两个不同的意思:(1大学要求改革。demands是动词,change是名词。(2大学的要求改变了。demands是名词,change是动词。
1.2名词(修饰语+名词
1.2.1复合名词或名词短语
(2an English teacher
此例在书面语中易引起歧义:(1一位教英语的老师。English teacher是一个复合名词。(2一位来自英国的老师。English作为修饰语加在名词前构成名词短语。
1.2.2-ing+名词
(3Flying planes can be dangerous.
此句也产生了两种意思:(1驾驶飞机会是危险的。Flying是动名词。(2正在驾驶的飞机会有危险。Fling是现在分词,作形容词用。
1.3带有’s的名词所有格
(4This is his teacher’s book.
句子中teacher’s book可以是一个整体,即“教师用书”。但his teacher也可以是一个整体,即“他的老师”。所以此句产生了两个意思:(1这是他的教师用书。(2这是他老师的书。
1.4不定式动词短语
(5The tiger is too small to kill.
此例也有两种含义:(1这只老虎太小以致于不能伤人。此意对tiger来说,是主动的动作。(2这只老虎太小了,还不能被***。此意对tiger来说,是被动的动作。
1.5“及物动词+宾语”结构
(6I found Jim an experienced teacher.
及物动词found后面接了两个名词Jim和an experienced teacher。这句话有两个意思:(1我发现吉姆原来是一位有的老师。(2我为吉姆找到了一位有经验的老师。
1.6并列连词and
(7Tom and Lucy are married.
此句可理解为:(1汤姆和露西两个成了亲。其中and连接两个名词,构成一个简单句。(2汤姆和露西两个都已结婚。该句可看作一个并列句。
1.7悬挂式否定词not
(8His object is not to eat.
此句产生的两种意思为:(1他的目的不是吃。作此意讲时,is和not的关系紧密,可写作isn’t。(2他的目的是绝食。作此意讲时,not与to eat的关系紧密,形成“绝食”的含义。因此not是悬挂式的(即可以自由摆动。
1.8悬挂式代词
(9The man informed his brother that he should lose weight.
人称代词he位于两个名词the man和his brother之后,句意变得模糊:(1这个男的告诉他的哥哥他自己应该减肥。人称代词he代指the man。(2这个男的告诉他的哥哥他应该减肥。这时人称代词he代指his brother。
1.9悬挂式状语修饰成分
(10The people who saw the play frequently praised it.
这里的frequently很难说是修饰saw the play还是praised的,因为状语修饰成分是“悬挂的”,所以产生了两个意思:(1经常看戏的人们称赞了它。(2看了这出戏的人们频繁地称赞它。
1.10悬挂式定语修饰成分
(11Lily likes the vase on the table which she bought yesterday.
此句中的which she bought yesterday是定语从句,这个定语从句可认为是修饰vase,也可以认为是修饰table。也引起了歧义:(1莉莉喜欢放在桌子上的那个昨天买的花瓶。(2莉莉喜欢放在昨天买的桌子上的那个花瓶。
英语作文中的短文【五】
伍谦光(1995∶200指出:“‘语音歧义’往往是由于句中词语的‘连续’而产生的歧义。”语音歧义多出现于口语中,主要是由上图表中的同音异义词以及部分同形同音异义中的C类(即一些意义不同,但某些语法形式相同的词(Homoforms造成的。下面是一实例:
(22“面包是怎么做的?”
“这我知道!”阿丽丝热心地叫道。
“准备一些面粉(flour——”
“到哪儿去采花(flower?”白女王问道,“花园里还是树篱上?”
“咦,面粉不是采(picked来的,”阿丽丝解释道,
“它是磨(ground出来的——”
“那要多少英亩土地(ground呢?”白女王又问道。
——刘易士·卡罗尔《阿丽丝漫游奇境记》
上面这一段文字因为运用了语音歧义,造成了很好的幽默效果。首先flour与flower是同音异义词,因此白女王把面粉flour理解成了花粉flower。其次阿丽丝用的ground是动词grind(磨碎、碾碎的过去分词,而白女王把ground理解成了“土地”。这一组就是笔者认为的由意义不同、但某些语法形式相同的词(Homoforms造成的语音歧义。
英语作文中的短文【六】
Lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face.
Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the mouse piteouslyentreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.
The mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a lion."
Little friends may prove great friends.
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去，将它从梦中吵醒。
狮子生气地跳起来，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：“只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命，我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。
老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了牠，并大声说：“你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。”
强者不会永远是强者，强者也会有需要弱者帮助的时候。
英语作文中的短文【七】
1。thereof
以”there”为前缀加上介词构成的词，如thereafter， thereby， therein， thereinafter， thereinbefore， thereon， thereof， thereunder， thereupon， therewith等，在文中具体指什么，需要读者依照合同的上下文来判断，因而理解起来比较复杂，请看下例：
This Agreement is written in the English language。 In case of any discrepancy between the English version and any translation thereof， the English text shall govern。 句中”the English version and any translation thereof”从上下文判断意为 “the English version and any translation of the English version”，即thereof一词代替of the English version。与以here开头的词如hereof的理解方法类似。
2。therein
该词意为in that， in that particular
context， in that respect，“在那里”，“在那点上”，“在那方面”，表示上文已提及的“合同中的”“工程中的”。如：the contract or any part thereof意为the contract or any part of the contract，合同或合同的任何部分。
3。thereto
该词意为：to that，“随附”，“附之”，如：“Contract Products” means the products specified in Appendix 2 to this Contract， together with all improvements and modifications thereof or developments with respect thereto。 句中or developments with respect thereto 意为：or developments with respect to the developments。
4。thereunder
该词意为：under that， “在其下”，“依照”，如：The Borrower fails to pay any amount payable thereunder as and when such amount shall become payable。 句中any amount payable thereunder意为any amount payable under the contract。
英语作文中的短文【八】
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的.家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”
