The Father and His Son
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说:「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。
Dear Tom,
How are you?
I would like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon the school held a growing-up ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At the beginning we made an oath that as grown-ups we should have a sense of responsibility for our society. Next we expressed our thands to our parents who brought us up and to our teachers for their education. Then our teachers gave us cards with good wishes. Finally, we had wonderful performances. I learned a lot from the activity. I am sure the ceremony is very important for us. From then on we will know our responsibilities as grown-ups.
Yours,
Li Hua
亲爱的汤姆:
你好吗?
我想告诉你昨天在我校发生的`事情。昨天下午学校为我们即将到来的18岁生日举行了成人仪式。开始我们宣誓说,作为成年人我们应当有社会责任感。接下来我们向父母和老师表达谢意,感谢他们的养育和培养。然后老师们给我们赠送了贺卡,表示祝福。最后我们进行了出色的表演。从这次活动中我懂得很多,我相信成人仪式对我们非常重要,从那时起我们就知道了作为成年人的责任。
你的朋友 李华

我和我的同桌刘田庆从三年级一直坐到五年级,可她总是打我或骂我,但也会对我好的时候,就说:有一次刘田庆过生日,她竟然请了我参加她的生日派对,可我并没有拒绝,到那天她的妈妈对我们都很热情,点了好多好吃的,可我大吃一顿,还有一次刘田庆在中午的时候要带我踢毽子,我说我不会踢毽子,她说:没关系随便踢,就在中午玩着玩着我就好像会踢了一样,就是我的同桌让我会踢毽子,让我热爱踢毽子。
My deskmate Liu Tianqing and I sat down from the third grade to the fifth grade, but she always beat me or scolded me, but also said when she was good to me: once Liu Tianqing had a birthday, she invited me to her birthday party, but I did not refuse, until that day her mother was very warm to us, ordered many delicious food, but I had a big meal, and once Liu Tianqing was in the middle I want to take me to kick shuttlecock at noon. I said I can't kick shuttlecock. She said: it's OK to kick shuttlecock casually. Just playing at noon is like I can kick shuttlecock. It's my deskmate that makes me able to kick shuttlecock, which makes me love to kick shuttlecock.
这就是我的同桌
