一位值得纪念的希腊人
提奥奇尼斯是公元前四世纪一位的希腊哲学家,就是他创立了犬儒派哲学。他经常在白天点着灯笼四处走动、张望,像是在找什么东西似的。哪人们问起他这古怪行为时,他会回答说:“我正在寻找正人君子。”
提奥奇尼斯认为好人是自给自足的,不需要物质享受和财富。他认为财富、财产束缚了人们天生的自由状态。与他的哲学相一致,他拿一个从别人从自然之母的庙里丢弃的大坛作为自己的家,还对此万分满意。这个陶制的大坛叫做圣坛,过去在庙里是用来盛装祭祀用的酒和油的。
一天,征服了半个文明世界的亚历山大大帝看见提奥奇尼斯坐在大坛里晒太阳。于是这位君主在大臣们的簇拥下走过去,对提奥奇尼斯说:“我是亚历山大大帝。” 哲学家相当傲慢地回答说:“我是提奥奇尼斯————犬儒学者。”然后亚历山大问他是否需要任何帮助。“是的”,提奥奇尼斯驳回道,“别站在我和太阳之 间。”大吃一惊的亚历大继而迅速回答道:“假如我不是亚历山大,我就会是提奥奇斯。”

3经典英语短文简单小故事
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing。 The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard。 The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall。
The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole。 After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again。
As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety。 As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked:
"It's not always the big people who e off best。 Sometimes the small ones win, you know。"

Most people need to hear those "three little words" I love you Once in a while, they hear them just in time
大多数人需要听到那“三个小字”——我爱你。有时他们就会在最需要的时候听到。
I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward, where I worked as a volunteer Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney to the hospital bed Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was alert and cheerful We got her settled in I finished marking her name on all the hospital supplies she would be using, then asked if she needed anything
我在康尼住进收容所病房的那天见到了她。我在那儿当义工。把她从轮床抬上病床时,她的丈夫比尔焦虑不安地站在旁边。虽然康尼处于和癌症搏斗的晚期,但她仍然神智清醒,精神愉快。我们把她安顿好。我在医院提供给她使用的所有用品上标上她的名字,然后问她是否需要什么。
"Oh, yes," she said, "would you please show me how to use the TV I enjoy the soaps so much and I don't want to get behind on what's happening" Connie was a romantic She loved soap operas, romance novels and movies with a good love story As we became acquainted, she confided how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman"
“啊,是的,”她说,“请告诉我怎么用电视好吗我非常喜欢肥皂剧,想随时跟上进展情况。”康尼是个浪漫的人。她酷爱肥皂剧、浪漫小说和讲述美好爱情故事的**。随着我们越来越熟,她向我吐露说,跟一个经常叫她“傻女人”的男人生活了32年有多么沮丧。
"Oh, I know Bill loves me," she said, "but he has never been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me" She sighed and looked out the window at the trees in the courtyard "I'd give anything if he'd say 'I love you,' but it's just not in his nature"
“唉,我知道比尔爱我,”她说道,“可是他从来不说他爱我,也不给我寄贺卡。”她叹了口气,朝窗外庭院里的树望去。“如果他说声‘我爱你’,我愿意付出一切,可这根本不是他的性格。”
Bill visited Connie every day In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps Later, when she began sleeping more, he paced up and down the hallway outside her room Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill
比尔每天都来探望康尼。一开始,康尼看肥皂剧,他就坐在床旁。后来,她睡的时候多了,比尔就在屋外走廊里踱来踱去。不久,康尼不再看电视了,醒的时候也少了,我开始花更多的义工时间和比尔在一起。
He talked about having worked as a carpenter and how he liked to go fishing He and Connie had no children, but they'd been enjoying retirement by traveling, until Connie got sick Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying
他谈到他一直是个木工,他多么喜欢钓鱼。他和康尼没有孩子,但他们四处旅游,享受着退休生活,直到康尼得病。对他妻子病危这一事实,比尔无法表达他的感受。
One day, over coffee in the cafeteria, I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get sentimental1 cards and love letters
一天,在自助餐厅喝咖啡时,我设法和比尔谈起女人这个话题,谈到生活中我们多么需要浪漫,多想收到充满柔情蜜意的卡片和情书。
"Do you tell Connie you love her" I asked (knowing his answer), and he looked at me as if I was crazy
“你跟康尼说你爱她吗”我明知故问。他瞧着我,就好像我有神经病。
"I don't have to," he said "She knows I do!"
“我没有必要说,”他说道。“她知道我爱她!”
"I'm sure she knows," I said, reaching over and touching his hands rough, carpenter's hands that were gripping the cup as if it were the only thing he had to hang onto "but she needs to hear it, Bill She needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years Please think about it"
“我肯定她知道,”我说。我伸出手,触摸着他那双木工粗糙的手。这双手紧握着杯子,似乎它是他需要依附的惟一东西——“可是她需要听到它,比尔。她需要听到所有这些年来她对你意味什么。请你考虑考虑。”
We walked back to Connie's room Bill disappeared inside, and I left to visit another patient Later, I saw Bill sitting by the bed He was holding Connie's hand as she slept The date was February 12
我们走回康尼的房间。比尔进了屋,我走开去看望另一个病人。后来,我看见比尔坐在床边。康尼入睡了,他握着她的一只手。那天是2月12日。
Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon There stood Bill, leaning up against the wall in the hallway, staring at the floor I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 AM
两天后的中午时分,我顺着收容所病房过道向前走着。比尔站在那里,靠着墙,凝视着地面。护士长已经告诉我,康尼在上午11点故去了。
When Bill saw me, he allowed himself to come into my arms for a long time His face was wet with tears and he was trembling Finally, he leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath
比尔看见我后,让我拥抱了他许久。他满脸泪水,浑身颤抖。最后,他向后靠在墙上,深深地吸了一口气。
"I have to say something," he said "I have to say how good I feel about telling her" He stopped to blow his nose "I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her and loved being married to her You shoulda2 seen her smile!"
“我有话非说不可,”他说道。“我得说,对她说出来,感觉真是好极了。”他停下来擤鼻子。“你说的话我想了很多;今天早上我对她说我多么爱她……我多么珍惜和她结为夫妻。你真该看看她的笑容!”
I went into the room to say my own goodbye to Connie There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill You know, the sentimental kind that says, "To my wonderful wife I love you"
我走进康尼的房间,亲自去和她告别 。我看见,床头桌上放着一张比尔给她的大大的情人节贺卡——就是那种充满柔情蜜意的贺卡,上面写着:“给我出色的妻子……我爱你。”
