哈里波特的一段故事
A slight spasm crossed Uncle Vernon's large purple face.Themustache bristled.Harry thought he knew what was going on behind the mustache:a furious battle as two of Uncle Vernon's most fundamental instincts came into conflict.Allowing Harry to go would make Harry happy,something Uncle Vernon had struggled against for thirteen years.On the other hand,allowing Harry to disappear to the Weasleys' for the rest of the summer would get rid of him two weeks earlier than anyone could have hoped,and Uncle Vernon hated having Harry in the house.To give himself thinking time,it seemed,he looked down at Mrs.Weasley's letter again.
小王子故事内容用英语概括Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet,I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories.the tales,which accompany with me in my old days,often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children.This summer I’ve review this kind of tale,which was published in 1940.It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author,Antoine de St-Exupery,The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales,the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex.“I”,the narrator of the story,is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara.In this occasion,the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince,a little boy from another planet,the Asteroid B612.The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet,because he has some quarrel with a rose,which grows on his planet.In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey,the little prince meets different kinds of people,which includes a king,a conceited man,a tippler,a businessman,a lamplighter and a geographer.From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd.Following the instruction of the geographer,he descends in the Sahara,on the earth.
Traveling on the earth,the little prince,who sees a garden of five-thousand roses,is overcome with astonishment and sadness,as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before.At that time a fox appears.The fox,who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”,becomes his new friend.At the time to say farewell,the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him.From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.
At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth,rejecting the pilot’s advice,he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake.“It’s too far.I can not carry this body with me.It’s too heavy.” he said.He tells his friend,the pilot,he must be responsible for his rose,so he has to go back.At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly.Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine,and for more,think over.
城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
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."
