Mouse and Cat in Partnership
英汉对照
A certain cat had made the acquaintance of a mouse, and had said so much to her about the great love and friendship she felt for her, that at length the mouse agreed that they should live and keep house together. But we must make a provision for winter, or else we shall suffer from hunger, said the cat, and you, little mouse, cannot venture everywhere, or you will be caught in a trap some day. The good advice was followed, and a pot of fat was bought, but they did not know where to put it. At length, after much consideration, the cat said, I know no place where it will be better stored up than in the church, for no one dares take anything away from there. We will set it beneath the altar, and not touch it until we are really in need of it. So the pot was placed in safety, but it was not long before the cat had a great yearning for it, and said to the mouse, I want to tell you something, little mouse, my cousin has brought a little son into the world, and has asked me to be godmother, he is white with brown spots, and I am to hold him over the font at the christening. Let me go out to-day, and you look after the house by yourself. Yes, yes, answered the mouse, by all means go, and if you get anything very good to eat, think of me, I should like a drop of sweet red christening wine myself. All this, however, was untrue, the cat had no cousin, and had not been asked to be godmother. She went straight to the church, stole to the pot of fat, began to lick at it, and licked the top of the fat off. Then she took a walk upon the roofs of the town, looked out for opportunities, and then stretched herself in the sun, and licked her lips whenever she thought of the pot of fat, and not until it was evening did she return home. Well, here you are again, said the mouse, no doubt you have had a merry day. All went off well, answered the cat. What name did they give the child. Top off, said the cat quite coolly. Top off, cried the mouse, that is a very odd and uncommon name, is it a usual one in your family. What does that matter, said the cat, it is no worse than crumb-stealer, as your God-children are called.
Before long the cat was seized by another fit of yearning. She said to the mouse, you must do me a favor, and once more manage the house for a day alone. I am again asked to be godmother, and, as the child has a white ring round its neck, I cannot refuse. The good mouse consented, but the cat crept behind the town walls to the church, and devoured half the pot of fat. Nothing ever seems so good as what one keeps to oneself, said she, and was quite satisfied with her days work. When she went home the mouse inquired, and what was this child christened. Half-done, answered the cat. Half-done. What are you saying. I never heard the name in my life, Ill wager anything it is not in the calendar.
The cats mouth soon began to water for some more licking. All good things go in threes, said she, I am asked to stand godmother again. The child is quite black, only it has white paws, but with that exception, it has not a single white hair on its whole body, this only happens once every few years, you will let me go, wont you. Top-off. Half-done, answered the mouse, they are such odd names, they make me very thoughtful. You sit at home, said the cat, in your dark-gray fur coat and long tail, and are filled with fancies, thats because you do not go out in the daytime. During the cats absence the mouse cleaned the house, and put it in order but the greedy cat entirely emptied the pot of fat. When everything is eaten up one has some peace, said she to herself, and well filled and fat she did not return home till night. The mouse at once asked what name had been given to the third child. It will not please you more than the others, said the cat. He is called all-gone. All-gone, cried the mouse, that is the most suspicious name of all. I have never seen it in print. All-gone, what can that mean, and she shook her head, curled herself up, and lay down to sleep.
From this time forth no one invited the cat to be godmother, but when the winter had come and there was no longer anything to be found outside, the mouse thought of their provision, and said, come cat, we will go to our pot of fat which we have stored up for ourselves - we shall enjoy that. Yes, answered the cat, you will enjoy it as much as you would enjoy sticking that dainty tongue of yours out of the window. They set out on their way, but when they arrived, the pot of fat certainly was still in its place, but it was empty. Alas, said the mouse, now I see what has happened, now it comes to light. You are a true friend. You have devoured all when you were standing godmother. First top off then half done, then -. Will you hold your tongue, cried the cat, one word more and I will eat you too. All gone was already on the poor mouses lips, scarcely had she spoken it before the cat sprang on her, seized her, and swallowed her down. Verily, that is the way of the world.
有一只猫认识了一只老鼠，便对它大谈特谈自己是多么喜欢老鼠，原意和它交朋友，弄得老鼠终于同意和猫住在一起，共同生活。“我们得准备过冬的东西了，不然我们到冬天会挨饿的，”猫说，“至于你嘛，我的小老鼠，哪里也不要去，我真怕你会被什么老鼠夹子夹住。”老鼠接受了猫的好建议，于是它们买来了一罐猪油，然而两个人都不知道该把猪油放在什么地方。它们左思考右思考，最后猫说：“我觉得这猪油放在教堂里是再合适不过的了，因为谁也不敢偷教堂里的东西。我们把猪油藏在祭坛下，不到万不得已的时候决不动它。”猪油罐就这样被放到了安全的地方。可是没过多久，猫开始想吃猪油了，便对老鼠说：“小老鼠，我想跟你说点事。我的表姐刚刚生了一个小宝宝，还请我当小宝贝的教母。那小宝贝全身雪白，带着一些褐色的斑点。我要抱着它去接受洗礼，所以今天要出去一下，你一个人在家看家，好吗？”“好的，好的，”老鼠说，“你尽管去吧。要是有什么好吃的东西，千万要记着我。我很想尝一点洗礼时用的红葡萄酒。”这一切当然都不是真的，因为猫并没有表姐，也没有被请去当教母。它直接去了教堂，偷偷爬到猪油罐那里，开始舔呀舔，把顶上一层猪油舔得精光。然后，它在城里的屋顶上散了散步，想碰碰别的运气；接着便躺下来晒太阳。每当想起那罐猪油，它都情不自禁地舔舔自己的嘴唇。它一直等到天黑才回家。“啊，你终于回来了，”老鼠说，“这一天肯定过得很开心吧？”“一切顺利。”猫答道。“你们给那孩子起了什么名字？”“没了顶层！”猫冷淡地说。“没了顶层！”老鼠叫了起来，“这个古怪的名字可不多见。你们家常取这样的名字吗？”“那有什么？”猫说,“不比你的那些教子叫什么偷面包屑的更糟吧？”
没过多久，猫又想吃猪油了。它对老鼠说：“你得帮我一个忙，再一个人看一次家。又有人请我当教母了，而且这个孩子的脖子上有一道白圈，我实在无法推辞。”好心的老鼠同意了。猫从城墙后面溜进教堂，一口气吃掉了半罐猪油。“什么东西也没有比吃到自己的嘴里更好，”它说，心里对这一天的收获感到很满意。等它到家时，老鼠问道：“这个孩子起的什么名字呀？”“吃了一半，”猫回答。“吃了一半！你在说什么呀？我长这么大了还从来没有听说过这样的名字。我敢打赌，就是年历上也不会有这样的名字！”
不久，猫的嘴巴又开始流口水了，想再去舔一舔猪油。“好事成三嘛，”它说，“又有人请我去当教母了。这个孩子除了爪子是白色的，浑身黑黝黝的，连一根白毛都没有。这是好几年才会碰上的事情，你当然会同意我去的，是吗？”“没了顶层！吃了一半！”老鼠回答，“这些名字真怪！我实在弄不明白。”“你白天又不出门，”猫说，“整天穿着深灰色的皮袄，拖着长长的尾巴，坐在家里胡思乱想，当然弄不明白啦！”趁着猫不在家，老鼠把屋子打扫了一下，把东西放得整整齐齐。可是那只馋猫把剩下的猪油吃得干干净净。“人只有把东西吃得干干净净才能放心，”它自言自语地说。它吃得饱饱的，直到天黑了才挺着圆圆的肚子回家。老鼠看到它回来，立刻问它这第三个孩子起的什么名字。“你也不会喜欢这个名字，”猫说，“它叫吃得精光。”“吃得精光！”老鼠叫了起来，“这个名字太令人费解了！我从来没有在书上见过。吃得精光！这是什么意思呢？”它摇摇头，蜷缩起身子，躺下睡着了。
从此，猫再也没有被邀请去当教母。可是冬天来到了，外面再也找不到任何吃的东西。老鼠想到了它们准备的过冬的东西，便说：“走吧，猫！我们去取储存的猪油吧。我们可以美美吃上一顿。”“是的，”猫回答，“那准会把你美得就像把你那尖尖的舌头伸到窗外去喝西北风一样。”它们动身去教堂，可它们到达那里后，看到猪油罐倒是还在那里，里面却是空的。“天哪！”老鼠说，“我现在终于明白是怎么回事了！你可真是个好朋友！你在去当什么教母的时候，把这猪油全吃光了！先是吃了顶上一层，然后吃了一半，最后……”“你给我住嘴！”猫嚷道，“你要是再罗嗦，我连你也吃了！”“……吃得精光，”可怜的老鼠脱口而出。它刚把话说完，猫就扑到了它的身上，抓住它，把它吞进了肚子。这世界就是这样！

成功人物故事英语作文【三】
有个穷人，很穷，一个富人见他可怜，就起了善心，想帮他致富。富人送给他一头牛，嘱他好好开荒，等春天来了撒上种子，秋天就可以远离那个“穷”字了。
穷人满怀希望开始奋斗。可是没过几天，牛要吃草，人要吃饭，日子比过去还难。穷人就想，不如把牛卖了，买几只羊，先***一只吃，剩下的还可以生小羊，长大了拿去卖，可以赚更多的`钱。穷人的计划如愿以偿，只是吃了一只羊之后，小羊迟迟没有生下来，日子又艰难了，忍不住又吃了一只。穷人想：这样下去不得了，不如把羊卖了，买成鸡，鸡生蛋的速度要快一些，鸡蛋立刻可以赚钱，日子立刻可以好转。穷人的计划又如愿以偿了，但是日子并没有改变，又艰难了，又忍不住***鸡，终于***到只剩一只鸡时，穷人的理想彻底崩溃。他想：致富是无望了，还不如把鸡卖了，打上一壶酒，三杯下肚，万事不愁。
很快春天来了，发善心的富人兴致勃勃送种子来，竟然发现穷人正就着咸菜喝酒，牛早就没有了，房子里依然一贫如洗。富人转身走了。穷人仍然一直穷著。很多穷人都有过梦想，甚至有过机遇，有过行动，但要坚持到底却很难。 据一个投资家说，他的成功秘诀就是：没钱时，不管再困难，也不要动用投资和积蓄，压力会使你找到赚钱的新方法，帮你还清账单。这是个好习惯。性格形成习惯，习惯决定成功。
越是有故事的人，越沉静简单。越肤浅单薄的人，越浮躁不安。“强者”不是没有眼泪，而是含着眼泪依然奔跑。人最先衰老的不是容貌，而是那份不顾一切的闯劲。
有时候：要敢于背上，超出自己预料的包袱，经历一段努力后，发现自己比想象的优秀很多。成功的人：一般不是才华横溢的人，而是，最能以亲切和蔼的态度给人以好感的人。
一个人，不能改变自己的形象：却能改变自己的气质;一个人，不能达到理想的高度：却能提高自己的水平。人际交往中：善良、热情、诚信更容易给人以好感。
微笑，比礼貌更亲切：会给人阳光般的温暖。不是眼泪就能挽回失去;不是所有人都值得付出;不是伤心就一定要哭泣;不是表情都要写在脸上; 不是任何人都能理解你。
所以：面对生活中偶尔的不如意，要学会坚强的微笑。有一句话：一切都有最好的安排一一只要你坚持!!

雨后，一只蜘蛛艰难地向墙上已经支离破碎的网爬去，由于墙壁潮湿，它爬到一定的高度，就会掉下来，它一次次地向上爬，一次次地又掉下来……第一个人看到了，他叹了一口气，自言自语：“我的一生不正如这只蜘蛛吗?忙忙碌碌而无所得。”于是，他日渐消沉。第二个人看到了，他说：这只蜘蛛真愚蠢，为什么不从旁边干燥的地方绕一下爬上去?我以后可不能像它那样愚蠢。于是，他变得聪明起来。第三个人看到了，他立刻被蜘蛛屡败屡战的精神感动了。于是，他变得坚强起来。
寓意：
坚持是做每一件事情都必须具备的态度，在职场中也一样，遇到小小的挫折就自暴自弃，否定自我的人永远不会成功。
因为天生我才必有用，每人的潜能是无限的，关键是要找到一个能充分发挥潜能的舞台，只有坚持不懈的努力才会有成功的一天。

成功人物故事英语作文【六】
一天，大家发现鼠群中多了一只很小的老鼠。这只小老鼠很特别，它的四肢被薄薄的翼膜连在一起，看起来十分丑陋。不仅如此，由于翼膜将四肢连接，使他行动起来很不方便。大家一致认为，这是一只严重残废的老鼠。这只小老鼠显然出生不久，它不知道自己叫什么名字，也不知道自己从哪里来。于是大家就给它起了个名字，叫做蝙蝠。
蝙蝠得知自己是残废，十分痛苦。但是，它是一个十分倔强的家伙，决不向命运低头。它想，自己是一个残废的老鼠，这是无法改变的事实。但自己必须坚强起来。只有自强不息，才能弥补自己的丑陋。它下定决心改变自己，用实际行动证明给大家看。
蝙蝠为自己制定了详细的训练计划。它冬练三九，夏练三伏，雷打不动，坚持不懈。随着时间的推移，它的身体日渐强壮起来，它的四肢也发达起来，能够像其他老鼠一样，进行劳动和生活。为此，它感到很欣慰。
这天，它望着天空中飞翔的小鸟，十分羡慕。心中想，如果能像它们一样在天空中飞翔就好了。于是，它向德高望重的鼠王请教。它说：“我也有类似小鸟的翅膀，如果加强练习，能不能像小鸟一样在天空中自由地飞翔?”鼠王说：“老鼠家族从来没有出现过会飞的老鼠，你想飞翔是不是发疯了。”
蝙蝠被当头泼了冷水，但它还是不想放弃。于是，它就悄悄地练习飞翔。它站在高高的墙头往下跳，原来想在下跳的同时张开双翼飞起来，可是，事情远远不像它想得那么简单。每次试飞，没待它张开双翼，它的身体就重重地落地，摔得它浑身散了架似的疼痛。有一次，它练习失败后，恰好一群老鼠经过这里。它们看见蝙蝠埃摔的样子，就七嘴八舌地嘲笑它。说蝙蝠神经不正常了，变成了一个疯子。在高高的墙头上往下跳，这不是自***行为吗?于是，蝙蝠自寻短见的说法在老鼠中迅速传开。每当老鼠见到蝙蝠，都指指点点，说：“瞧那个疯老鼠。”这时蝙蝠伤心极了。
但是，蝙蝠是一个执着的家伙，它认准的事情，决不回头。失败，重来;失败，重来......天天如此。有一天，天空格外晴朗，太阳露出甜美的笑脸，天空中飘动着一朵朵洁白的云彩，大树被微风轻轻地吹拂着。蝙蝠决定再好好试一试，当它从墙上跃起的时候，它突然找到了飞翔的感觉。它用力煽动两边的翼膜，它的身体被气流稳稳地拖向天空。
蝙蝠进入了一个崭新的世界。它在天空中自由自在地飞翔着，快乐幸福极了。地上的老鼠们发现了蝙蝠飞上了天空，都目瞪口呆。心想，莫非蝙蝠是上帝派来的神仙，竟然有这般神奇的本领。
蝙蝠发现：它那丑陋的翼膜已经变成了世界上最美丽的东西了。
坚持不懈，奇迹就会发生
