1. 關於英語的小故事（七年級）簡單一點
懶王子
A king had three sons whom he loved equally well， and he did not know which of them to appoint as king following his own death.
在一個遙遠的地方，有一個國王，他有三個兒子，對每一個兒子他都非常喜愛，他不知道自己死後應該把王位傳給他們三個中的哪一個。
When the time came for him to die he called them to his bed and said， 「Dear children， I have thought of something that I will reveal to you. The one of you is the laziest shall become king after me.」
所以，當他快要死的時候,就把他們叫到身邊說：「親愛的孩子們，在我死後，你們三個中誰最懶，誰就繼承我的王位。」
the oldest one said， 「Father， then the kingdom belongs to me， for I am so lazy that whenever I lie down to sleep， and a drop falls into my eyes， I will not even close them so that I can fall asleep.」
老大說：「既然這樣，這王位就是我的，因為我是最懶的兒子，當我躺下睡覺時，有任何東西落到我的眼睛裡，我也懶得去擦掉，即使不能把眼睛閉上，我仍然會繼續睡覺。」
the second one said， 「Father， the kingdom belongs to me， for I am so lazy that when I am sitting by the fire warming myself， I would rather let my heels burn up than to pull my legs back.」
二兒子說：「爸爸，王位應該傳給我，因為我是最懶的兒子。當我坐在火邊取暖的時候，就是火燃到我的腳趾，我也懶得把腿收回來。」
the third one said， 「Father， the kingdom is mine， for I am so lazy that if I were going to be hanged and already had the rope around my neck， and someone put into my hand a sharp knife with which to cut the rope， I would let myself be hanged rather than to lift my hand up to the rope.」
第三個兒子說：「爸爸，這王位是我的，因為我是你最懶的兒子，如果我就要被吊起來，繩子已經套在了脖子上，有人把一把鋒利的小刀塞在我手裡，要我切斷繩子，我寧願被吊起來也懶得抬起手把繩子割斷。」
When the father heard this he said， 「You have taken it the farthest and shall be king.」
父親聽到這里說道：「你是最合適的人選，你應該繼承王位。」

我也要的啊，我是鞍山2中的你呢？And this.
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain….
有一個傳說，說的是有那麼一隻鳥兒，它一生只唱一次，那歌聲比世上所有一切生靈的歌聲都更加優美動聽。從離開巢窩的那一刻起，它就在尋找著荊棘樹，直到如願以償，才歇息下來。然後，它把自己的身體扎進最長，最尖的荊棘上，便在那荒蠻的枝條之間放開了歌喉。在奄奄一息的時刻，它超脫了自身的痛苦，而那歌聲竟然使雲雀和夜鶯都黯然失色。這是一曲無比美好的歌，曲終而命竭。然而，整個世界都在靜靜地諦聽著，上帝也在蒼穹中微笑。因為最美好的東西只能用最深痛的巨創來換取……
