  易懂的英语哲理故事篇(1)

  An old man was walking along the beach one evening at low tide.

  一位老人独自在退潮的海边散步。

  He noticed that thousands of starfish had been stranded on the sand by the receding waters.In the course of his walk he came upon a young man who was picking up some of the starfish and throwing them back into the sea.

  他注意到数不清的海星在潮水退去是活生生地被困在沙滩上。这是他遇到了一个年轻人,他正在捡起一些海星并将它们扔回海中。

  "What are you doing?"the old man asked.

  “你在做什么呢?”老人问。

  "Oh,just saving some starfish,"the young man replied.

  “呃,在救活这些海星。”年轻人回答说。

  "Well,you're a fool,"the old man told him.

  “哦,你有点犯傻。”老人告诉她。

  "Really?"replied the young man,"What makes you say so?"

  “是吗?”年轻人问,“您为什么会这样认为?”

  "Well,just look at all the starfish on this beach.There are thousands of them."

  “哦,只要看看岸边的所有这些海星就知道了。它们可有成千上万只。”

  The old man looked around and then at the young man.

  老人四周看了看,又转过来看着年轻人。

  "You don't have the time nor the energy to save all of them.Your saving a few starfish is nice,but in the larger scheme of things,it's ridiculous.What difference could you possibly make?"

  “你根本没有时间也没有精力去拯救这所有的海星,你救活了一些海星当然很好,可是你想要救活全部则完全不切实际。你的努力能改变什么呢?”

  The young man looked at the old man for a moment. Then wordlessly,he bent down, picked up a starfish, and threw it far out into the water.

  年轻人看了老人一会儿。然后他没有说话,弯下腰,捡起一只海星远远地扔到水中。

  "Well,"he said,putting his hands on his hips in satisfactory,"I made a big difference to that one."

  “唔”,年轻人很满意地把手贴在腰后,说:“对那只海星来说,一切都改变了。”

  And he tossed another into the ocean,"and this one",tossed,"and this one..."

  他又将另外一只海星扔到海里,“这只也是”,又扔出,“还有这只……”

  "I don't need to try him anymore," replied the man."I know just what he is like from the friend he chose for himself. Take himaway and give me my money back. I can do without Donkeys like him."

  “我不用再试了,”这个人回答道。“从它自己挑选的朋友,我就知道它是头什么样的驴了。把它牵走,把钱还给我。我没有这样的驴也能过日子。”
