英语哲理故事1
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, "Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."

He looked at us and said, "I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish."
Frank‘s voice dropped a bit. "When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"
He paused and then went on, "I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.‘

匆匆吃完早饭后,我大步流星地走进了演讲大厅。一位著名的教师正在对学生们讲话。他手举一张一百美元的钞票,对三百个学生说,“谁想要这张一百元的钞票?”学生们立即举手。接着他说,“我会把这张一百元的钞票给你们其中的一位,但首先我要做件事。”他将钞票捏成一团,问,“现在谁还想要?”所有的手又举了起来。然后他说,“那么,如果我这样做呢?”他将钞票扔在地上,并在上面踩了几脚。他捡起脏兮兮的钞票,问,“仍然有人要吗?”所有的手又举向了空中。
“朋友们,”他说,“今天你们学到了很有价值的一课。无论我对这一百元钞票做了什么,你们仍然要它,因为它并没有贬值,它仍然值一百美元。生活中,不止一次,我们会被扔,甚至被踩,这时我们会感到自己毫无价值。但是请你记住,无论什么发生在你身上,你永远不会失去你的价值。对于那些爱你的人来说,你一直是有价值的。你的价值并非来自你是做什么的或者你认识谁,而是来自你是谁。你是特别的、有价值的,永远不要忘记这一点!”
英语哲理故事4
几年前,我住在一个小镇的'一幢建筑物中。对面有另一幢建筑物,离我住的地方只有几米远。那里住着一个我以前从未见过的女人。每天下午我都能见到她坐在窗户边,喝茶或者看书。
几个月后,我发现她的窗户太脏了,通过她家窗户看到的一切都很模糊。我不知道那个女人为什么不把窗户洗洗。
一个阳光灿烂的上午,我决定彻底清理一下我的公寓,包括清洗窗户。我一直忙到下午很迟才完成,然后,我坐在窗边小憩。多么令人惊讶啊!那个坐在窗户边的女人一下子变得清晰了!她的窗户是干净的!突然,我意识到我犯了一个错误。原来我一直在通过自家的脏窗户看她!
那对我来说是一个很重要的教训。从那以后,无论我什么时候想要判断一个人,我首先问问自己,“我看他时,我心灵之窗是否肮脏?”然后,我努力洗净我内心世界的窗户,只有这样我才能看清外面的世界。
英语哲理故事5
前段时间,单位有位大姐拿着一个英语句子问我语法。我非常好奇,一个已经到了中年的妇女居然还在不断学习英语!她说自己坚持学习有6年了,到现在有一万多的词汇量,刚开始的英语底子就是26个英文字母。在日本留学的儿子告诉她,新概念是非常好的教材,他就开始自学新概念,新概念英语读的朗朗上口。我在她办公室桌上看有本新概念英语四,随手拿起来一看,上面密密麻麻全是注释,音标、词义、语法等等写的非常详细,她把新概念的每一个句子都详细的分析过!她说自己学习英语主要是工作以外的时间,办公室有活儿了就抓紧时间把工作做完,因为没有上网、玩游戏的爱好,工作之外的时间就用学英语来“打发”,办公室里有电脑,所以有时也会跟着录音读。
我问她为什么都到中年了还要坚持学外语呢,她回答的很有意思——以后要是当奶奶了,不想让孙子看到自己的奶奶啥都不懂。
一位中年妇女没有任何英语底子,居然可以不为过级,不为升学,毫无功利心的学习英语,年轻的我们会有何感想?大学的时候诵读《道德经》,老子的无为思想我至今无法理解,后来我想这种精心耕耘,不问收获,毫无功利心的去做一件事儿,是不是就是对道家无为思想的一种解释?年轻的我们又该如何?这或许正是她给予我们年轻人的力量和意义!
