10篇有趣的小短文竟然能讓你記住2000單詞
1.Fall in Love with English Hiding behind the loose dusty curtain, a teenager packed up his overcoat into the suitcase. He planned to leave home at dusk though there was thunder and lightning outdoors. He had got to do this because he was tired of his parents’ nagging about his English study and did not want to go through it any longer. He couldn’t get along well with English and disliked joining in English classes because he thought his teacher ignored him on purpose. As a result, his score in each exam never added up to over 60.
His partner was concerned about him very much. She
understood exactly what he was suffering from, but entirely disagreed with his idea. In order to calm him down and settle his problem, she talked with him face to face and swapped a series of learning tips with him. The items she set down helped him find the highway to studying English well.
The teenager was grateful and got great power from his friend’s words. Now, he has recovered from being upset and has fallen in love with English.
愛上英語
有個少年躲在積滿灰塵的松散窗簾后把大衣裝入手提箱。盡管外面正打雷閃電, 他仍計劃在黃昏時分離家出走。他不得不這樣做是因為厭倦了父母對他英語學習的嘮叨,不想再忍受下去了。他的英語學習總是無法取得進展,而且不喜歡參加英語課的學習,因為他以為老師有意忽視他。結果,他每次考試的分數(shù)合計從未超過60。
他的搭檔很關心他,也確切地理解他遭受的折磨,但卻完全不同意他的想法。為了使他冷靜下來好好解決問題,她和他面對面地交談,并交換了一系列的學習心得技巧。她寫下來的條款幫助他找到了學好英語的最佳捷徑。
這個少年非常很感激,并從朋友的話里獲得極大的動力,F(xiàn)在,他已經(jīng)從沮喪中恢復過來,真正愛上了英語。
2Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes Voyages of people from England play an important part in
spreading the English language. At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African
countries. All based on British English, the English spoken in
these countries can be well understood by native English speakers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually changing in accents, spellings, expressions and the usage of vocabulary.
Because of this fact, you can make use of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver, “Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and
cabs”, instead of requesting, “Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis”, you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that he is British.
不同的國家有不同的英語
英國人的航海在英語的傳播中扮演了重要的角色。目前,英語在許多國家被作為官方語言或通用語言頻繁地使用,例如美國、新加波、馬來西亞和一些非洲的國家。這些國家的英語都以英式英語為基礎,能很好地為以英語為本族語的人所理解。但是實際上,這些英語在口音、拼寫、表達和詞匯的使用方面都在逐漸變化。
因為這一情況的存在,你就可以利用這些英語之間的區(qū)別說出你們街區(qū)的外國人是哪個國家來的了。例如,如果有個老板流利地命令他的司機:“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs(直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油)”,而不是要求說,“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis(請直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油)”,你就可以輕易地辨認出他的美國人身份,而后者卻暗示著那是一位英國人。(請注意:聽力錄音里第二段兩個“電梯”的單詞跟原文不一致,原文是對的,錄音弄錯了,elevator才是美式說法而lift是英式說法。)
3A Hard Trip
My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since
transporting fare was expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the disadvantages. Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind. Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train. After we prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the insurance, we began our trip.
Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys, where the water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views. One night, I put my head on my pillow--a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!
一次辛苦的旅行
我的妹妹很喜歡旅行。自從畢業(yè)以來,她就下定決心要組織一次往一座古廟的旅行。因為交通費用昂貴,她決定騎自行車去,毫不擔心其中的不利情況。頑固的態(tài)度一直都是她的缺點,一旦她下定決心要做的事,就沒有人能說服她改變主意。最后,我們像往常一樣讓步,盡管我們更喜歡乘火車去。我們準備好了所有東西,包括時間表、可靠的天氣預報,還有保險,就開始了旅程。
我們的旅程沿著一條從高海拔處流下來的河流前行。但我們的步伐很慢,因為當流經(jīng)深深的峽谷時,這條河流急轉彎很多,急湍的河水都似乎沸騰起來。正如我在旅行日志里記錄的那樣,這真是一次艱苦的旅行。但是我們也欣賞到了美麗的景色。一天晚上,我把頭枕在一包羊毛衣服
有趣的英語小短文篇三:幽默英語演講小短文(2分鐘的)[1]1
幽默英語演講小短文(2分鐘的)
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our
determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
學習之于心靈,就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)
食物,我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達。同樣地,我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力,并擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料,來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅的最穩(wěn)當?shù)姆椒ǎ彩窃谧儎拥氖来谐晒Φ目煽勘WC。
一旦學習停止,單調(diào)貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地,學習應該是一種無終止的歷程,從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動,只要學習停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。更糟的是,蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活,削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志,弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心,而且扼殺我們凈化我們?nèi)烁竦挠。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯,甚至更糟地,使其僵化。因此,為了保持心理年輕,我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。
2.heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause
serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a
reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了,雖然說學生的確應當念書,但是要想長大成為健全的人,他門還需要一些其它的東西,所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的,是在浪費時間,它可以讓學生鍛煉身體,發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外,繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張,這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè),但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。
3.Time【時間】
Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time. 時光一去不復返,這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很
多時間四處游蕩,以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為;該是痛改前非的時候了。
現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時,這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來;仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀䥺l(fā)我如何重新安排我的時間。
4.Work and Play【工作與娛樂】
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper
recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions. What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load. 工作與娛樂并不互相沖突,事實上,它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說:「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂,會令人變得沉悶乏味!贡还ぷ髦負鷫旱么贿^氣來的生活,將使你一事無成,因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面
來說,適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道,來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒,減輕單調(diào)生活中的緊張與不悅。
放學之后,我最常做的休閑活動,便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地撥出時間來做運動,但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈,無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時,我都去看早場電影,享受視覺饗宴。如此一來,我將有如再生般的充沛活力,去面對下一星期的工作量。
5.My first Job【我的第一份工作】
My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance
examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.
I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.
我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業(yè),考完聯(lián)考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事,倒不如找份差事,嘗嘗獨立賺錢的快樂。
我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時,一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重,所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過于花全部由自己
