英文版励志小故事：女人为什么撒谎
摘要：如果你认为你的女人从不会对你撒谎，请再仔细考虑一下。大部分女人，小到善意的谎言，大到更为严重的假话，都会在牵涉到某种关系的某一点时掩饰真相。
If you think your woman would never lie to you, guess again. From little white lies to the more serious variety, most women will curtail the truth at some point in a relationship. Her motivation for lying can stem from wanting to protect your feelings or, sure enough, to save her own butt.
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.
'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked The seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.
'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.
'Is this your thimble ?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'Yes.' The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.
Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!'
The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. 'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked.
'Yes,' cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!' The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.
Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT' S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.
And so the Lord let her keep him.
The moral of this story is:
Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
如果你认为你的女人从不会对你撒谎，请再仔细考虑一下。大部分女人，小到善意的谎言，大到更为严重的假话，都会在牵涉到某种关系的某一点时掩饰真相。她的撒谎动机也许是想要保护你的情感，或者是，可以相当肯定地说，维护她自身的利益。
有一天，一个女裁缝坐在河边干活时，不小心把顶针掉进了河里。当她大声哭喊时，上帝出现了，问她：“我亲爱的孩子，你为什么哭啊?”女裁缝回答说，她的顶针掉进河里了，她很需要这个顶针，好用它来帮助丈夫为一家人谋生。上帝把手伸进河里，捞上来一个金灿灿的镶嵌着蓝宝石的顶针。
“这是你的顶针吗?”上帝问道。女裁缝回答：“不是。”
上帝又把手伸进河里。他这次手上拿着的是一个金灿灿的镶嵌着红宝石的顶针。
“这是你的顶针吗?”上帝问道。女裁缝再次回答：“不是。”
上帝再次把手伸进河里，这次他手上拿的是一枚皮制顶针。
“这是你的顶针吗?”上帝问道。女裁缝回答：“是的。”上帝很为女人的诚实高兴，就把三个顶针都给了她，女裁缝高高兴兴地回了家。
几年以后，女裁缝和丈夫沿着河岸走着，突然她的丈夫掉进了河里，消失在水下。女裁缝大哭的时候，上帝又出现了，问她：“你为什么哭啊?”“主啊，我的丈夫掉进河里了!”
上帝到了河里，把乔治·克鲁尼救了上来。“这是你的丈夫吗?”上帝问道。
“是的，”女裁缝喊道。上帝大怒。“你撒谎!那不是真话!”女裁缝回答道，“噢，我的主，请宽恕我。这是一个误会。你瞧，如果我对乔治说：‘不’，你会再救上来一个布莱德·皮特。
那么如果我对他说‘不’，你又会把我丈夫救上来。如果我说‘是的’，你会把他们三个都给我。主啊，我身体不太好，不能把三个丈夫都照顾好啊，所以我就对乔治-克鲁尼说‘是’了。”
而上帝因此就让女裁缝留着乔治做丈夫了。
这个故事的寓意是：
不管一个女人何时撒谎，那是为了一个善意的和高尚的理由，而且是对别人最有利的。这就是我们要讲的故事，而且我们对此坚信不疑。
英文版励志小故事：自恋的水仙花
摘要：从前有个男孩,他的名字叫做Narcissus水仙。身为一名天神的儿子他长得十分英俊，有许多爱慕着他的少女向他示爱却都被他拒绝了。
Once upon a time, there was a boy called Narcissus. He was the son of a god and he was very, very handsome. Many women fell in love with him, but he turned them away. One of the women who loved Narcissus was a nymph called Echo. Echo could not speak properly - she could only repeat what was said to her, so she couldn't tell Narcissus that she loved him. One day, when Narcissus was walking in the woods with some friends, he became separated from them. He called out "Is anyone here?" Echo replied "Here, Here". Echo stepped forward with open arms, wanting to cuddle him. But Narcissus refused to accept Echo's love. Echo was so upset that she left and hid in a cave, until nothing was left of her, except her voice.
The Maiden, a goddess, found out about this, and she was very angry. She made Narcissus fall in love with himself. When Narcissus looked at his reflection in a pond one day, he fell in love. He stayed on that spot forever, until he died one day. Where he died a flower grew, and that flower is called a Narcissus.
从前有个男孩,他的名字叫做Narcissus水仙。身为一名天神的儿子他长得十分英俊，有许多爱慕着他的少女向他示爱却都被他拒绝了。在爱慕着他的众多少女中有位美丽的仙女做做"Echo"(回音)，由于Echo不能正常得说出想说的话而只能不断得重复别人的言语所以她并不能清楚的告诉Narcissus她对他的爱意。有天当Narcissus和他的几个朋友在森林中漫步时和其他的朋友走失了。
他喊到“有人在吗?”
Echo也说“有人在吗?”
Echo上前想抱住Narcissus却被Narcissus拒绝了，Echo非常得伤心，她跑到一个无人的山洞，一直待到她的外形完全消失只剩下她的声音能被人们所听到。
一名女神听说了这件事，她非常得愤怒，并用神力使Narcissus爱上了他自己。当Narcissus在湖泊的水边看到自己的影子时，他顿时爱上了水中的人，他一直待在那湖边，直到渐渐死去。在他死的地方长出许多的野花，这种花被人们取名叫做Narcissus(水仙花)。
英文版励志小故事：男孩和露珠
One morning a small boy squatted motionless on the grass in the garden for a long time.
His mother felt so odd that she walked close to see what had happened. The boy, in earnest, squatted in front of a blade of grass, on which a round dew in the sun gave a colorful light, exceedingly beautiful. The small boy extended his hands under the grass silently as he appreciated the dew.
Seeing his mother walking over to him, the boy said with a slight sadness, “Mother, the dew’s dying.”
The mother said to her son with a smile, “Even if you put your hands under the grass, you cannot stop the dew disappear from this world.”
The boy said, “Mother, I’m only thinking not to throw it in pain when it falls.”
一天早上，一个小男孩蹲在花园的草地上，久久不动。
母亲觉得蹊跷，便凑上前看个究竟。只见男孩非常认真地蹲在一茎草叶面前。草叶上，一颗圆圆的露珠，在太阳的照射下，正幻出七彩的光芒，格外美丽。小男孩一边欣赏着这滴露珠，一边把双手摊开，静候在草叶下。
看到妈妈走过来，男孩略带忧伤的说：“妈妈，露珠快要死了。”
母亲微笑着对儿子说：“你就是把双手放在草叶下面，还是阻止不了露珠在这个世界上消失的命运啊。”
男孩说：“妈妈，我只是想，它落下来时，别摔疼了它。”
