67 A frog anda squirrel were neighbors. There was a fundamental difference betweenthe two of them. The squirrel was diligent while the frog was lazy. In autumn,the frog made fun of the squirrel's diligence. He said,"Don't make so much fuss over saving your food." The squirrelanswered, "I only fulfill my obligation to build up a reservefund. The main function of it is to help me to get throughthe winter. If you make a fuss of yourself in fruitfulautumn, you will regret it in the cold winter." The frog frowned ather words and became furious. So he left without a goodbye. The wintercame. The squirrel had no expensive furniture, but she had a furnaceto keep her warm. Furthermore, she had a beautiful fur overcoat.Her house furnished everything that was needed for one's life. Forexample, the fuse-box was in the kitchen. Coal was used as fuel. Friedpine nuts were prepared for her dinner. On the contrary, the frog went toand fro on the frontier, looking for something edible. The groundwas covered with frost. The terrible weather frustrated his hopesof finding food. He was too tired and hungry to walk any further.Thenext day, he was found dead, frozen. The squirrel attended the frog's funeraland felt very sorry for him.
     一只青蛙和一只松鼠是邻居。他们俩之间有着基本的区别。松鼠很勤奋而青蛙很懒惰。在秋天，青蛙取笑松鼠的勤劳。他说：“不要为储藏食物忙乱成那样子嘛。”松鼠回答：“我只是履行自己的职责来建立后备基金。它的主要作用就是帮助我度过冬天。如果你在果实累累的秋天太娇惯你自己的话，你将在寒冷的冬季后悔的。”青蛙对她的话皱眉并且暴怒起来。因此他没有道别就离开了。冬天来临了。松鼠没有昂贵的家具，但她有炉子来取暖。而且，她还有漂亮的毛皮大衣。她的房子装备了所有个人生活所需的一切。比如，保险丝盒子在厨房里。煤是用来做燃料的。油炸松子是她的正餐。与之相反，青蛙在边境上来来回回地寻找能吃的东西。地面上覆盖着霜冻。可怕的天气挫败了他寻找食物的希望。他又累又饿，再也无法走得更远。第二天，他被发现已经死了，身体是冷冻的。松鼠参加了青蛙的葬礼，并且为他的死感到非常难过。

68  Mr.Adams's pictures about the Galaxy were shown in a famous gallery.He was a genius and he won his fame very early. And it was generous ofhim to contribute a lot of money every year. The lamps of the gallerywere full of gaseous neon, which made the light colorful. The openingceremony was the biggest gathering of the season. A galaxy ofartists attended it. All of them wore in nice garments. At the sametime, a gang of gays was on the way to the gallery. Ingeneral, there was a generation gap between the gays andtheir parents. Furthermore, some people regarded them as garbage. Thishatred was generated by prejudice. In fact, one could not generalizea conclusion from a few facts. Studies showed that a person's *** intention wasdecided by his or her genes. Fortunately, a new opinion was being generalizedin this regard. That is, the ethics should be geared to the society'sneeds. These men were gay at the thought of seeing the show whensuddenly a gear of the generator was broken. They gambledto drive the car to the garage for repair before their gasoline hadbeen used up. A worker fixed their car and added 2 gallons of fuel totheir car by using a gauge. Soon, the car galloped along the roadagain like a horse. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the gallery, gaspingfor breath. All of the people including Mr. Adams gazed at them withsurprise. But as a genuine gentleman, he welcomed them sincerely.
     亚当斯先生描绘银河系的画儿在一家著名的画廊展出。他是个天才，很早就赢得了名声。并且他每年都慷慨地捐赠许多钱。画廊的灯泡都充了气态的氖，这使得灯光五颜六色。开幕式是那个季度最盛大的集会。一群杰出的艺术家都来参加了。所有的人都穿着得体的衣服。与此同时，一伙同性恋正在来画廊的路上。通常，同性恋和他们的父母之间有着代沟。此外，一些人还把他们当作垃圾。这种仇恨产生于偏见。实际上，人们不能从一两件事情上就归纳出一个结论。研究指出，一个人的性取向取决于他或她的基因。幸运的是，关于这点，一个新的观念正在推广。那即是，道德伦理应该根据社会的需要而相应调整。这些人一想到能看展览就很快乐，突然发电机上的一个齿轮坏了。在汽油用光之前他们冒险驾驶着汽车到修车厂修理。一名工人修好了他们的车子，又用一个量表给车加了两加仑的汽油。很快，汽车像一匹马那样又在公路上奔驰起来。20分钟后，他们气喘吁吁地来到了画廊。所有的人包括亚当斯先生都惊奇地注视着他们。不过作为一个真正的绅士，他真诚地欢迎了他们。

However, I havemore interest in geology. And I will get around to exploremore places. Ok, I get back to the subject. My homework was getting alongmuch better. Somebody called my name, and I saw a ghost gettingin the classroom while gesturing at me! I got off theclassroom as quickly as I could. It was surprising that the ghost movedaside to let me get by. I climbed to the top of a tree. The ghostcould not get at me, so he waited. How on earth did I getinto such a ridiculous situation? I knew I could not let the ghostget the better of me. If only I could get out of mytimidness, I would feel better. I managed to get over my fearthen got through to the police with my mobile phone. The policecar came soon. The policemen got off the car. They gottogether under the tree. The ghost got away. ThenI could get down from the tree. I went home. I got a cold thatnight. Colds are spread by germs. I got over my illnessvery slowly."
     据说这个学校有一个巨大的鬼魂出没。一个学生的确遭遇到了。消息传开得很快。一些学生不明白这个学生意思是什么。于是他写下他所见的来解释清楚他的遭遇。“那天晚上，在我结束几何考试之后，我找时间做我的地理作业。那是我不可逃避的责任。我着手一些地理的题目。可是我对地质学更感兴趣。并且我将旅行来探索更多的地方。好吧，言归正传。我的作业进展得不错。有人喊我的名字。我看见一个鬼魂进入教室，还向我做手势!我尽可能快地离开教室。奇怪的是鬼魂*边让我通过了。我爬上树顶。鬼魂无法接近我，于是他等待着。我究竟如何使自己陷入这荒谬的局面的呢?我知道自己不能让鬼魂占上风。只要我改掉自己胆怯的缺点，我就能感觉好点。我尽力克服了害怕，用手机接通了警局的电话。警车很快到达。警察从车上下来。他们集合在树下。鬼魂逃脱了，我也得以从树上下来。我回家去。那天夜里，我得了感冒。感冒是通过细菌传播的。我很久才从病中恢复过来。

No one knew he was a business spy. He didn't givehimself away so far. The secretary gave out newspapers.He glanced at the headlines in it. Then he saw one of them, "It wascriminal to give away business secrets!" Charles glared atthe newspaper, feeling gloomy about his future. Though theair-conditioner gave off warm air, he felt cold. A glimpseof his face would tell you that he was worried. He gave back thenewspaper to the secretary. Finally, Charles gave in. Hegave up his criminal mind. His evilness gave way to hisconscience. He made up his mind to give himself up. So he wrote aletter and then glued a stamp onto the envelope. Next, he sent it to thepolice.
     冬天的清晨，升起的太阳像一个橘红的球体。它在庞大的空中闪耀。阳光在冰面上闪光。溜冰者们在冰面上优美地滑行。查尔斯赞美这壮丽的景色。他的脸因健康而发红。他戴上手套去上班。查尔斯是一个有天赋的技师。他是他那个行业的光荣。没人知道他是个商业间谍。他迄今没有露马脚。秘书分发报纸。他扫视了二下标题，看见了其中一条是：“泄露商业秘密是犯罪的!”查尔斯怒视着报纸，感到前途阴暗。虽然空调释放着热空气，他仍然感觉寒冷。你只要一瞥他的脸就明白他很担心。他将报纸送还给秘书。最终，查尔斯屈服了。他放弃了犯罪的念头。他的邪恶给他的良心让了路。他决定自首。于是他写了一封信并在信封上粘贴了一张邮票。接着，他寄给了警察局。

Two monthlater, Jacob hardly finished his work when he hastenedhome. But he was shocked to see that his wife was with an escaped criminal!"Harboring criminals is an offence in law!" Jacob said to hiswife. She looked at him with hatred, "I want to divorce you."He said to his wife, "It is harmful for you to make a hastydecision. I will give you some more time." He left home in haste.Jacob found a job on a harbor. He hauled the fish into the boateveryday. It was a hateful job. But a strong man would bear hardshipwithout complaining. Life on a boat had hardened him. At night, Jamb hungabout at the harbor. There was a handy place for thetelephone. He wanted to call his wife, but always hung back. Onenight, he did call. A man answered the phone, "Hang on, sheis coming. Darling, your call." Jacob hung up the phone. Hisheart was broken.
     杰可伯非常爱他的妻子。他的爱好同她的爱好协调，这使得他们很融洽。他们在工作日里经营着一个五金店。周末，他们孵小鸡或是出去打野兔。那年因为洪水的缘故，农作物收成不好。政府下令治理河流。许多人包括杰可伯都自愿帮忙。他们日夜地呆在河岸上。他们的家都很近便，但每个人都将自己的工作坚择下去。几乎没有人离开自己的岗位。两个月后，杰可伯刚一完成工作，就赶忙回家去。但他震惊地看到他的妻子和一名逃犯在一起!“窝藏罪犯是犯法的!”他对妻子说。而她憎恨地回答：“我要与你离婚。”杰可伯对妻子说：“做出草率的决定对你是有害的。我愿意给你多一些时间。”他匆忙地离开了家。杰可伯在一个港口找到一份工作。他每天将鱼拖曳到船里。这是份可恨的工作。但一个坚强的男人是会忍受困苦而不抱怨的。船上的生活已经使他变硬朗了。晚上，杰可伯在港口徘徊。有个方便的地方可以打电话。他想给妻子打电话，但总是踌躇着。一天晚上，他终于打了。一名男子接了电话：“等一下，她就来。亲爱的，你的电话。”杰可伯挂断电话。他的心碎了。
