56.The Flower-bed's Secert

Once there was an English prince(王子). His name was Henry. Prince Henry liked to study languages, but smiles never came on his face. His father, the King, loved him dearly, and tried to make him happy in every possible way.The King gave the boy a small horse, so that he might ride when he liked. The King also had a boat made for the Prince, so that he might sail on the lake.Yet the young Prince was not happy. One day the King had an interview with a man named Sir Arthur. Prince Henry was also there, with an unhappy face, as usual.Sir Arthur turned to the King, and said，“I have a method to make Prince Henry happy, but you have to send him to the countryside" At first, the King refused, but Sir Arthur insisted on taking the Prince to the country. Finally, the King agreed.Prince Henry and Sir Arthur went to Sir Arthur's house. His big yard was divided into two parts-inside yard and outside yard, and the outside yard was a big garden with a flowerbed. Sir Arthur cancelled all his activities and stayed with the Prince at home. He told Henry, “Do you know my flowerbed can talk, and it has a secret.”The prince thought it very strange. Sir Arthur went on, “it tells the secret only to those who watch it every day. If you learn the secret, you will be happy every day in the year.”Prince Henry looked, but there was no flower, not even a leaf upon it. Then he circled the flower-bed every day. Even when a storm came，he didn't go inside, so he caught a cold and coughed badly.Many days passed. The flowerbed was wet, and the warm sun shone upon it. At last, one fine morning, he saw tiny plants coming up.Day after day he saw that these plants made lines, and that the lines formed some letters. He thought about the spelling and tried to translate them into his own language. At last, he got it: DO SOME GOOD TO SOMEONE EVERY DAY.

【汉语翻译】

花坛的秘密

从前有位英国王子叫亨利。亨利王子喜欢学习语言，但他的脸上从来没有笑容。他的父亲即国王非常爱他，尽力用所有可能的方法让他快乐。

国王给这个男孩一匹小马(small horse)，这样他乐意时就可以骑马。国王还让人给王子造了一艘小船(The King also had a boat made for the Prince)，这样他可以在湖上(on the lake)航行。

然而（yet）年轻的王子还是不快乐。有一天国王会见(interview) 一位亚瑟爵士。亨利王子也在那里，一副不开心的样子，和平时一样(as usual)。

亚瑟爵士转向(turn to)国王，说，“我有一个方法(method)可以让亨利王子快乐，但您必须送他去乡下(countryside)。”起初(at first)，国外拒绝了，但亚瑟爵士坚持(insist)带王子去乡下，最后，国王同意了。

亨利王子和亚瑟爵士去了亚瑟爵士的家。他的大院子被分成(be divided into)两部分一里院和外院，外院是一个有花坛的大花园。亚瑟爵士取消(cancel)他所有的活动，在家里陪着王子。他告诉亨利，“我的花坛会讲话，它有一个秘密。”王子觉得很奇怪。亚瑟爵士继续说道，“它只把秘密说给那些每天关注它的人。如果你知道了这个秘密，你会在这一年里每天都快乐。”

亨利王子看着花坛，但上面没有花朵，甚至连一片树叶也没有。然后，他每天围绕(circle)花坛转，即使当暴风雨(storm)来临时他也不进屋，结果他感冒(catch a cold)了，咳嗽(cough)不止。

许多天过去了。花坛被打湿了，然后温暖的太阳又照在上面。终于，一个美好的早晨，他看到微小的植物长出来了。

日复一日，他看到这些植物长成一条条线(line)，然后这些植物线条构成(form)一些字母。他思考着将这些字母拼写(spell)成单词，然后翻译(translate)成他自己的语言。终于，他明白了：每天为别人做点好事。

57.Lewis and Clark Reach the Pacific

I clean the rain off my face. Most explorers (探险家) hope to find land, but Meriwether Lewis and I, William Clark, came all the way from St. Louis to reach thePacific Ocean. I turn around and face the rest of our ship members.
“We did it!” I shout, putting up our flag. Everyone cheers as loudly as waves(波浪)hitting the rocks. "We've paddled (划桨) upstream, walked a long way over snowymountains, and faced hunger and many other dangers. ”

At the time, I see the girl. She keeps silent.“Of course, without the help of our Indian friend, we wouldn't have made it Thank you, miss.”

I look back at the Pacific and notice that Meriwether looks unhappy. I truly can understand why. We had hoped to see Asian trading ships at sea, but there are no ships anywhere. We planned to sail home by sea. Maybe the ships will come soon. If not, we'll have to go back the same way we came.

【汉语翻译】

刘易斯和克拉克到达太平洋

我擦去脸上的雨水。大部分探险家希望发现大陆，但梅里韦瑟·刘易斯和我，威廉·克拉克，从圣·路易斯一路行来到达了太平洋(the Pacific Ocean)，我环顾四周，面对着我们的其他船员。

“我们做到了！”我大喊道，并举起(put up)我们的旗帜(flag)。大家欢呼(cheer)，声音洪亮(loudly)就像海浪击打(hit)到岩石(rock)上。“我们划桨逆流而上(upstream)，长途跋涉穿过雪山(snowy mountain)，面对饥饿(hunger)和许多其他危险。”

这时我看到莎卡嘉薇亚。她保持沉默(keep silent)。“当然了，没有我们的印第安(Indian)朋友莎卡嘉薇亚的帮助，我们不可能完成。谢谢你，莎卡嘉薇亚”。

我回头望着太平洋并注意到梅里韦瑟看上去不开心。我的确可以理解他的心情。我们本希望在海上看到亚洲的(Asian)商船，可是却没有。我们计划乘船(by sea)回家。可能不久会有船来。如果没有，我们将不得不沿原路返回了。

58.The Cat Taht Rang the Bell

The cat lived in a nunnery(女修道院). She had noticed that when a certain bell was rung, a group of nuns(修女) would come for their meals，and she also received her food.One day she was shut up in a room by herself when she heard the bell ring. But she couldn't open the door, the window was too high to reach, and the glass was too strong to break. At last, after some hours, the door was opened. She hurried to the place where she expected to find her dinner, but no dinner there. She was very hungry, and hunger made her clever. She knew where the rope hung which pulled the bell. “Now, when that bell rings I generally get my supper,”she thought as she ran towards the rope. That was a thick rope. It was easy for her to reach the rope. She jumped upon it. It gave a pleasant sound. As she was swinging, she thought, “Now I shall get my supper, though I have lost my dinner. ”The bell rang louder and louder.The nuns hearing the bell ring at so unusual an hour, and came hurrying to the bell. They wondered what was wrong. To their great surprise, they saw it was the cat which rang the bell! They couldn't understand and thought for some time, till the sister who gave the cat her meals remembered that she had not been present at dinner time, and then, she brought double meals to the cat immediately.

【汉语翻译】

敲钟的猫

这只猫住在一家女修道院里。她注意到当某个钟(bell)敲响(ring)时，一群(a group of)修女就会来吃饭，她也可以得到她的食物。

有一天她把自己关闭(shut)在一间屋子里，那时她听到钟声响了。但她无法打开门，窗户太高了够不着，玻璃(glass)太结实了无法打破(break)。最后，几个小时后，门终于被打开了。她匆忙赶到她期盼(expect)可以找到午餐的地方，但那里却没有午餐。她太饿了，饥饿让她变得聪明。她知道拉响钟声的绳子悬挂(hang)在哪儿。“现在，要是那挂钟响了，一般我就可以得到我的晚餐了。”当她朝绳子跑去时，她这样想着。那是一根粗绳子(a thick rope)。她可以很容易地够到绳子。她一跃而起跳上了绳子。绳子响起了悦耳的声音。在她摇摆（swing）时，她想，“现在我将要得到我的晚餐了，尽管我没有吃上午餐。”钟声越来越响了。

修女们听到钟声在这不寻常的时间内响起，便匆匆赶到钟所在的地方。她们想知道(wonder)到底发生什么事了。让她们非常惊奇的是(to their great surprise)，她们看到敲响钟的竟是那只猫。她们无法理解，还想了一段时间，后来，给这只猫喂食的那位修女想起这只猫在午饭时间不在场(present)，然后，她就立即给这只猫拿来了双倍的(double)食物。

59.Chopsticks

Chopsticks are an ancient way of eating food, and even though they were developed some 5,000 years ago in China, the tradition is still alive around the modern world. There are many reasons for using chopsticks, but probably they developed because using two sticks of wood allows one to get close enough to get the food out of a pot (锅) without burning themselves.Although forks and knives and other pointed tools have been introduced to China over the years, chopsticks have remained the main way to eat food. Chopsticks are mostly made from wood, with bamboo being the most widely used. Foreigners like to buy silk chopsticks as gifts.The Chinese people usually eat from a bowl or small plate They use chopsticks to eat noodles and rice, but Koreans(韩国人)eat their rice with a spoon.【汉语翻译】筷子筷子(chopsticks)是一种古老的吃饭工具。尽管(even though)筷子是五千多年前在中国发展起来的，这个传统在当今世界依然是方兴未艾。使用筷子有很多原因，但筷子的兴起很可能是由于用两根木制的棍(stick)可以使人在距离锅足够近的地方，把食物从锅里取出来而不会烫伤(burn)自己。这些年来，尽管刀叉(knife and fork)和其他带尖的工具已经传入(introduce)中国，筷子却仍然是主要的(main)吃饭方式。筷子大部分是木制的，竹子(bamboo)应用的最广泛。外国人(foreigner)喜欢购买丝绸(silk)筷子当作礼物。中国人通常利用碗(bowl)或小盘子吃饭。他们使用筷子吃面条(noodles)和米饭，但韩国人用汤匙(spoon)吃米饭。
