The Farmer and the Snake
ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."
The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.
個農夫幹完農活,看見一條蛇凍僵了,覺得它很可憐,就把它拾起來,小心翼翼地揣進懷里,用暖熱的身體溫暖著它。那蛇受了暖氣,漸漸復甦了,又恢復了生機。等到它徹底蘇醒過來,便立即恢復了本性,以迅雷不及掩耳的速度用尖利的毒牙狠狠地咬了恩人一口,使他受了致命的創傷。農夫臨死的時候痛悔地說:「我可憐惡人,不辨好壞,結果害了自己,遭到這樣的惡報,我真是活該!」

C. the significance of the harmony between man and nature以此為題,寫一篇英語作文,200字以上。三段式的
【第一段】As is symbolically illustrated in the picture, a lovely baby is sleeping
comfortably on the beautiful earth with a little bird singing over him. In the
drawing, a huge green umbrella shelters the baby and the earth from the
threatening outside world. The caption indicates that we should advocate low
carbon economy and cherish the earth.
【第二段】 The painter aims at reminding us the relationship between low carbon economy and
environmental protection. In the first place, low carbon economy is crucial to
sustainable economic development. Economic expansion causes irreparable damage
to our environment. A fragile ecological environment, insufficient environmental
capacity and shortage of resources are becoming critical problems hindering the
world』s development. If we want to achieve sustainable development,
environmental protection should be integrated into our economic endeavors. Low
carbon economy will have a direct impact on the overall situation of the
world』s modernization drive and its long-term development. In the second place,
environmental protection is in line with traditional Chinese culture. One of the
core principles of traditional Chinese culture is to maintain harmony between
man and nature. Many philosophies from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have
emphasized the significance of a balanced environment. As an old Chinese saying
goes, 「Forefathers plant trees so future generations can enjoy the shade.」
Protecting our environment and preserving a healthy environment for future
generations goes hand in hand with Chinese culture.
【第三段】Generally speaking, low carbon economy is indispensable for sustainable
development. Haunted by various environmental problems, we should put the low
carbon economy at the core of our economic development plans and solve wide
ranging environmental problems before they evolve into environmental crisis.

If I Rest,I Rust 如果我休息,我就會生銹 The significant inscription found on an old key---「If I rest, I rust」---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most instrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.Instry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal instry the price of noble and enring success.翻譯:重大的題字上找到一個古老的關鍵——「如果我休息,我就會生銹」——依舊是一個優秀的宗旨是為那些折磨的一點點懶惰。即使最勤奮的人將它與優勢,提醒了我們,如果有才而不用,就像廢棄鑰匙的鐵一樣,這些才能很快就會生銹,並最終無法完成安排給自己的工作。
有些人想取得高度達到並保持的成就,必須不斷運用自身才能,以便開啟知識的大門,即那些通往大門入口專業,科學,文學,農業-每部人類努力的。
工業保持明亮的一把鑰匙,打開寶庫的成就。休

可能有點長,還是推薦這個很老的哲理故事吧,雖然大家都聽過了,但是還是值得時時想起,提醒自己的。。。樹欲靜而風不止,子欲養而親不待
《男孩和他的樹》
從前,有一棵巨大的蘋果樹。
一個小男孩每天都喜歡在樹下玩耍。他爬樹,吃蘋果,在樹蔭下小睡……他愛和樹玩,樹也愛和他玩。
時間過的很快,小男孩長大了,他不再每天都來樹下玩耍了。
「來和我玩吧。」樹說。
「我不再是孩子了,我再也不會在樹下玩了。」男孩回答道,「我想要玩具,我需要錢去買玩具。」
「對不起,我沒有錢……但是,你可以把我的蘋果摘下來,拿去賣錢,這樣你就有錢了。」
男孩興奮的把所有的蘋果都摘下來,高興的離開了。男孩摘了蘋果後很久都沒有回來。樹很傷心。
一天,男孩回來了,樹很激動。
「來和我玩吧。」樹說。
「我沒時間玩,我得工作,養家糊口。我們需要一棟房子,你能幫助我嗎?」
「對不起,我沒有房子,但是你可以砍下我的樹枝,拿去蓋你的房子。」男孩把所有的樹枝都砍下來,高興的離開了。
看到男孩那麼高興,樹非常欣慰。但是,男孩從此很久都沒回來。樹再一次孤獨,傷心起來。
一個炎熱的夏日,男孩終於回來了,樹很欣慰。
「來和我玩吧!」樹說。
「我過的不快樂,我也一天天變老了,我想去航海放鬆一下。你能給我一條船嗎?」
「用我的樹干造你的船吧,你就能快樂地航行到遙遠的地方了。」男孩把樹干砍下來,做成了一條船。
他去航海了,很長時間都沒露面。
最後,過了很多年,男孩終於回來了。
「對不起,孩子,我再也沒有什麼東西可以給你了……」樹說。
「我已經沒有牙咬蘋果了。」男孩回答道。
「我也沒有樹干讓你爬了。」樹說。
「我已經老得爬不動了。」男孩說。
「我真的不能再給你任何東西了,除了我正在死去的樹根。」樹含著淚說。
「我現在不需要什麼了,只想找個地方休息。過了這么些年,我累了。」男孩回答道。
「太好了!老樹根正是休息是最好的倚靠,來吧,來坐在我身邊,休息一下吧。」
男孩坐下了,樹很高興,含著淚微笑著……
****************
這是每個人的故事,樹就是我們的父母。當我們年輕的時候,我們願意和爸爸媽媽玩。當我們長大成人,我們就離開了父母,只有我們需要一些東西或者遇到一些麻煩時,才會回來。不論怎樣,父母總是支持我們,竭力給我們每一樣能讓我們高興的東西。
你也許會想,男孩對樹太殘酷了,但是,那正是我們所有人對待父母的方式啊!

A Boy and His Tree
A long ago,there was a huge apple tree. A little boy love to come and play around it everyday.He climbed to the tree top,ate the apples,took a nap under the shadow…He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by,the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday.
One day,the boy came back to the tree and he looked.
「Come and play with me ,」The tree asked the boy .
「I am no longer a kid, I don』t play around trees anymore.」The boy replied,
「I want toys.I need money to buy them.」
「Sorry,but I don』t have money…But you can pick all my apples and sell them.
So,you will have money.」The boy was so excited .He grabbed all the apples
on the tree and left happily.The boy never came back after he picked the
apples.The tree was sad.
One day,the boy returned and the tree was so excited.
「Come and play with me ,」The tree said.
「I don』t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for
shelter.Can you help me?」
「sorry,but I don』t have a house .But you can chop off my branches to build
your house.」So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then.
The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day,the boy returned and the tree was delighted.
「Come and play with me !」The tree said.
「I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give
a boat?」
「Use my truck to build your boat.You can sail faraway and be happy.」
So the boy cut the tree truck to make a boat .He went sailing and never
showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.
「Sorry,my boy.but I don』t have anything for you anymore.No more apples for
for you…「The tree said.
「I don』t have teeth to bite.」The boy replied.
「No more truck foe you to climb on.」
「I am too old for that now.」The boy said.
「I really can give you anything…The only thing left is my dying roots.」The
tree said with tears.
「I don』t need much now,just a place to rest.I am tired after all these year」
The boy replied.
「Good!Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come,come sit
down with me and rest.」The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled
with tears……
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. when we were young, we loved to play with mom and dad……
When we grown up, we left them…Only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.
No matter what,parents will alway be there and give everything they could to make you happy.
You may think the boy is cruel to the tree but that how all of us are treating our parent.Time is too slow for those who wait,too swift for those who fear,too long for those who grieve,too short for those who rejoice,but for those who love,time is eternity.

【1】Things Aren』t Always What They Seem
Two traveling angles stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angles stay in the mansion』s guestroom. Instead the angles were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed in the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angle asked why, the older angle replied, 「Things aren』t always what they seem.」
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good night』s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angles found the farmer and his in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angle was infuriated and asked the older angle how he could have let this happen. 「The first man had everything, yet you helped him,」 he accused. 「The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow lie」.
「Things aren』t always what they seem,」 the older angle replied. 「when we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn』t find it.」
「Then last night as we slept in the farmer』s bed, the angle of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren』t always what they seem.

胡蘿卜本是硬的,堅固而且強度大,但受到煮沸的水的影響,它變得柔軟而脆弱。雞蛋本來易碎,薄薄的外殼保護著內部的液體。但是在經歷過煮沸的水以後,它的內部卻變得堅硬。不過,最獨特的卻是磨碎的咖啡豆,當它們被放入煮沸的水之後,它們改變了水。
A certain daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and she wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose.
有一個女孩向她父親抱怨她的生活,她覺得凡事都很艱難,不知該怎樣挺過去,她想放棄。她厭倦了不斷的抗爭和奮斗,問題似乎都一個接著一個,不讓她有喘息的機會。
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water and placed the fire on high. Soon the three pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the other he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
她的父親是個廚師,他把她帶到了廚房。他在三個壺里分別裝滿了水,加大火燒。很快,壺里的水被煮開了。他往第一個壺里放了些胡蘿卜,往第二個壺里放了幾個雞蛋,在最後一個壺里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆,然後,一句話也沒說,他由著水把它們煮沸。
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently wondered what he was trying to do. She had problems, and he was making this strange concoction. In half an hour he walked over to the stove and turned down the fire. He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her he asked. "Darling what do you see?"
女兒咂巴著嘴,不耐煩地等著,對父親的行為感到很納悶。大約三十分鍾後,父親關掉了火爐,把胡蘿卜撈出來,放到一個碗里。又把雞蛋揀出來放進另一個碗里,接著把咖啡用勺子舀出來倒進一個杯子里,然後轉過頭來,對她說,「親愛的,你看到了什麼?」
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.
「胡蘿卜、雞蛋和咖啡。」她答道。
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Her face frowned from the strength of the coffee.
父親讓她走近點,要她去摸摸胡蘿卜,她注意到,它們變軟了。然後,他又要她去拿一個雞蛋並把它敲破,在把殼剝掉之後,她觀察了這個煮熟的雞蛋。最後,父親要她飲一口咖啡。咖啡很苦,她皺了皺眉。
Humbly, she asked. "What does it mean Father?"
「您想跟我說什麼,父親?」她問道。
He explained. "Each of them faced the same adversity, 212 degrees of boiling water. However each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after going through boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg was fragile. A thin outer shell protected a liquid center. But after sitting through the boiling water, it's inside became hardened. The coffee beans are unique however. After they were in the boiling water, it became stronger and richer."
父親解釋說,這三樣東西面臨著同樣的逆境——煮沸的水。但它們的反應卻各不相同。胡蘿卜本是硬的,堅固而且強度大,但受到煮沸的水的影響後,它變得柔軟而脆弱。雞蛋本來易碎,薄薄的外殼保護著內部的液體。但是在經歷過煮沸的水以後,它的內部卻變得堅硬。不過,最獨特的卻是磨碎的咖啡豆,當它們被放入煮沸的水之後,它們改變了水。
"Which are you," he asked his daughter, "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"
「哪一個是你呢?」他問女兒,「當逆境找上你時,你該如何應對呢?你是胡蘿卜、雞蛋、還是咖啡豆?」

縱然傷心,也不要悉眉不展,因為你不知是誰會愛上你的笑容。
To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.
對於世界而言,你是一個人;但是對於某人,你是他的整個世界。
Don't waste your time on a man/woman,who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
不要為那些不願在你身上花費時間的人而浪費你的時間。
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
愛你的人如果沒有按你所希望的方式愛你,那並不代表他們沒有全心全意地愛你。
Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to.
不要著急,最好的總會在最不經意的時候出現。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally meet the person,we will know how to be grateful.
在遇到夢中人之前,上天也許會安排我們先遇到別人;在我們終於遇見心儀的人時,便應當心存感激。
Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.
不要因為結束而哭泣,微笑吧,為你的曾經擁有。
Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.

「生命是束純凈的火焰,我們依靠自己內心看不見的太陽而存在。」
