　　英語小故事一

　　Virtue

　　Many years after receiving my graduate degree, I returned to the State University of New York at Binghamton as a faculty member. One day in a crowded elevator, someone remarked on its inefficiency. I said the elevators had not changed in the 20 years since I began there as a student.

　　When the door finally opened, I felt a compassionate pat on my back, and turned to see an elderly nun smiling at me. "You'll get that degree, dear," she whispered. "Perseverance is a virtue."

　　美 德

　　獲取研究生學位多年以後，我回到位於賓翰頓的紐約州立大學當教員。一天，電梯裡很擁擠，有人抱怨電梯效率太低。我說自我在那裡當學生起，20年來電梯一直沒有換過。

　　最後當電梯門開啟時，我感到有人在我的背上同情地拍了一下，回過頭來我看到一位年長的修女正在朝我微笑。“你會拿到學位的，親愛的，”她低聲說道：“堅持不懈是一種美德。”

　　Difference

　　"I can always tell a graduate class from an undergraduate class," observed the instructor in one of my graduate engineering courses at California State University in Los Angeles. "When I say, 'Good afternoon,' the undergraduates respond, 'Good afternoon." But the graduate students just write it down."

　　區 別

　　“研究生班和本科生很容易就能區別開來，”在洛杉磯加利福利亞州立大學給我們研究生上工程學課的老師如此說。“我說‘下午好’，本科生們回答說‘下午好’。研究生們則把我說的話記在筆記本上。”

　　英語小故事三

　　The Wind And The Sun

　　One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.” “We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.” So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself. “I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.

　　【譯文】

　　風和太陽

　　有一天風跟太陽說: “看看那個沿著路上走的人.我可以比你快讓他把披風脫下來. “我們等著看吧,”太陽說, “我讓你先試. 因此風嘗試讓那個人把披風脫下來.他用力地吹,可是那個人把披風拉得更緊.“我放棄了,”風最後說, “我無法讓他把披風脫下來.”然後由太陽試試看.他儘可能地晒他.不久,那個人很熱就把披風脫下來了.
