　　高中英語短篇美文：Do not throw good things away 不要把好東西扔掉

　　A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

　　He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

　　He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

　　一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：“我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。”然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。

　　他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：“今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。”

　　他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。 不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

　　高中英語短篇美文：The king and his Bow 國王與他的弓

　　King Xuan was fond of shooting an arrow and liked to be boasted as a powerful bowman he was, although he could draw no bow heavier than thirty jin, When he showed is bow to his attendants, they pretended to try to draw it, but only bent it to half its full extent.

　　"This must weigh at least ninety jin!" They all cried. "None but your Majesty could use such a bow." And at this the prince was pleased.

　　Though he only used a thirty-jin bow, till the end of his life he believed that it weighed ninety, It was thirty in fact, and ninety only in name, but for the sake of the empty name he sacrificed the truth.

　　渲王喜愛射箭，喜歡聽到別人誇他是個出色的射手，可他的弓箭只不過重30斤。每當他向隨從炫耀那彎弓，他們都假裝很吃力地拉開弓，儘管他們僅用了一半的力氣。

　　他們會異口同聲地說：“這弓少說也有90來斤，除了大王，沒人能拉得動這張弓。”

　　這位王侯就是喜歡聽到如此的讚美之詞。他至死仍以為這張30斤重的弓箭，有90斤那麼重。無論是事實上的30斤，還是被說成是90斤，可他圖慕虛榮，犧牲的卻是真理。

　　高中英語短篇美文：False Alarm 錯誤的警告

　　Years ago while attending a dinner party hosted by some friends of mine the hostess served a meal with this delicious mushroom sauce. After the meal there was a small amount left over and the hostess decided to allow her pregnant cat to enjoy the treat as well as the guests. The guests all felt it was a great gesture and showed the cat was a member of the family.

　　The sauce was the highlight of the evening's topic of conversation, everyone commented on how delicious it was, and the hostess beamed at all the compliments. One of the guest commented that toadstools were much like mushrooms except for being toxic, and how funny it would be if such a culinary treat were made from that instead.

　　As if on cue, the pet cat started crying and squirming on the floor, clutching its belly. The hostess exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's the mushroom sauce!"

　　We all went to the emergency room in a mad rush, and had our stomachers pumped after telling them we had eaten poisonous mushrooms. This was an extremely unpleasant experience.

　　We got back, the cat was lying on the floor peacefully looking up at us, and had given birth to kittens.

　　多年前，我參加了一個朋友組織的晚餐聚會，女主人拿出她親手做的美味的蘑菇沙司來款待我們。 晚飯過後，還剩下一些沙司，因此女主人決定讓她那懷孕的貓也像客人們一樣享受這美味。在座的客人都感覺，這個偉大的舉動表明這隻貓就彷彿是家裡的一員一樣。

　　沙司成為最受歡迎的話題，大家都說沙司簡直太美味了。因為受到誇獎，女主人露出了微笑。其中一個客人說傘菌像極了蘑菇，只是有毒而已，假如用它來款待大家，那簡直是太可笑了。

　　彷彿有了暗示一樣，那隻寵物貓開始在地板上又叫又滾，並且不停地撓自己的肚子。女主人說道：“噢，我的上帝啊，它剛吃了蘑菇沙司呀!”

　　我們所有的人立即趕往急診室，並告訴醫生我們吃了毒蘑菇。我們都被洗了胃。這可真是一次令人感覺沮喪的經歷。

　　從醫院回來以後，那隻貓平靜地躺在地板上望著我們，它生小貓了!
