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。
My mother has a pair of small eyes, smiling and narrowing into a seam. She had a small cherry mouth under her straight nose. My mother's hair is a little different - it's curly, and she's joked that she doesn't need a perm.
我妈妈喜欢烧菜。妈妈有空的时候,会给我和弟弟做好吃的饭菜。有她最拿手的.香喷喷的煎饺,有又麻又辣的干锅牛蛙,还有又香又脆的炸鸡腿,弟弟说比KFC的鸡腿还要好吃。
My mother likes cooking. When mum is free, she will cook delicious meals for my brother and me. There are her best fried dumplings, spicy dry pot bullfrogs and crispy fried chicken legs. My brother says they are better than KFC chicken legs.
妈妈特别善良。每次我们在街上碰到乞讨的人,妈妈都会拿出零钱给他们,并教育我要乐于助人。
Mother is very kind. Every time we meet beggars in the street, my mother will give them change and teach me to be helpful.
我爱我的妈妈。
I love my mother.
