（翻譯）
兩隻狗
有一個人養了兩條狗：一條是獵犬，一條是看家狗。他訓練獵狗幫他打獵，教看家狗守家。當獵人打了一天獵回家後，總要分給看家狗一些肉，獵狗對此很生氣。它不高興地對看家狗說道：“我在外邊追捕獵物十分辛苦，而你在家什麼都不做，但你卻分享我的食物。”看家狗回答道：“不要責怪我，我的朋友。你應該去責備主人。他不教我打獵，卻只教我分享別人的食物。” 不要因為父母的錯誤而去責備孩子。

買帽子

它們是從美國直接帶來的，一位中國老婦人在美國看望女兒回來不久，到一家市銀行存女兒送給她的美元。在銀行櫃檯，銀行職員認真檢查了每一張鈔票，看是否有假。這種做法讓老婦人很不耐煩，最後實在忍耐不住說：“相信我，先生，也請你相信這些鈔票。這都是真正的美元，它們是從美國直接帶來的。”
（3）she kindled a third match. again shot up the flame； and now she was sitting under a most beautiful christmas tree ,far larger, and far more prettily decked out, than the one she had seen last christmas eve through the glass doors of the rich merchant's house. hundreds of wax-tapers lighted up the green branches, and tiny painted figures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down from the tree upon her. the child stretched out her hands towards them in delight, and in that moment the lights of the match warm quenched； still, however, the christmas candles burned higher and higher， she beheld them beaming like stars in heaven； one of them fell, the lights streaming behind it like a long, fiery tail.
“now some one is dying,” said the little girl, softly, for she had been told by her old grandmother， the only person who had ever been kind to her, and who was now dead that whenever a star falls an immortal spirit returns to the god who gave it.
she struck yet another match against the wall； it flamed up, and surrounded by its light, appeared before her that same dear grandmother, gentle and loving as always, but bright and happy as she had never looked during her lifetime.
她擦著了第三根火柴，又冒出了火焰。現在她覺得正坐在非常美麗的聖誕樹下面，比上次聖誕節透過那富商家的玻璃門看到的那株還要大、還要美。這株樹的綠枝上點燃著許許多多的蠟燭，顏色瑰麗的圖畫，就象櫥窗里掛著的那些一樣漂亮，仿佛在向她眨眼。小姑娘把兩隻手伸過去，火柴又熄滅了。然而聖誕樹上的燭光越升越高。她看到它們變成了明亮的星星，有一顆落下來，在天上劃出一道長長的火絲。 “現在又有一個什麼人死了。”小姑娘說。因為她的老祖母——一個唯一待她好的人，現在已經死了，曾經告訴過她，天上落下一顆星，地上就有一個靈魂回到曾賦於他生命的上帝那裡去。 她在牆上又擦了一根火柴，火光把四周照亮了。在亮光里，親愛的和生前一樣的祖母出現了。她依然是那么的慈愛和溫和，然而那快活和幸福的樣子卻是她生前從未有過的

摔倒的女人
上下班高峰期，我匆匆奔向紐約豪華中心站去趕一趟火車。接近門口，一位肥胖的中年婦女從後面衝過來，沒想到在平滑的大理石地面上失了腳，仰面滑倒了。她的慣性使她接近了我的腳。我正準備扶她，她卻自己爬了起來。她鎮定了一下，對我擠了一下眉，說道：“總是有漂亮女人拜倒在你腳下嗎？”
when we go to school, we are taught that life is not always going well, we will meet all kinds of difficulties. everyone hears the words, but when they meet difficulties, it is hard for them to be ok with it, they feel the life is hopeless, just as hearing is easy, while taking action is another thing. once a famous business person said that the one who faced the failure and stood up, he or she will be successful. i absolutely believe it, we are in front of so many accidents, we need to face the setback and learn from it, every setback is a test for us, only the one who passes the test can succeed. such as when we feel it hard to study, then give up, how can we make progress. life teaches us lesson every minute, the adverse situation is a good chance to upgrade ourselves.
當我們上學的時候，我們就被教育生活並不總是一帆風順，我們會遇見各種各樣的困難。每個人都聽過這些話，但是當遇到困難時，對於他們來說是很難接受的，覺得生活無望，就如說起來是一回事，做起來是另一回事。曾經一位出名的生意人漿果，誰面對困難，振作起來，他或她就能成功。我深信此話，我們面對很多的意外，需要面對挫折，從中學會東西，每一次的挫折就是一次考驗，只有通過考驗的人能成功。比如我們感到學習困難時，就放棄，怎么能進步呢。生活時時刻刻都在教會我們東西，困境是升級自身的好機會。
