英语故事短文

THRIFT 节俭
There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.
I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.
没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花像那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。
我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。
PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍
Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.
Our National Father, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.
不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。
我们国父孙中山先生是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。中华民国诞生了。
WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成
The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.
It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush... as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意7a64e58685e5aeb9337志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。
很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

Alice: Then we should invite the strongest warrior in our village to fight the monster.

仙度拉：对啊！我们的威廉最厉害，他一定可以消灭它。

【威廉上场】

(William on the stage )

村长：威廉！

Village head: William!

威廉：村长你找我啊？有什麼事情呢？

William: Do you look for me, the village head? What is there?

村长：因为隧道里面有怪物，我要徵求勇士一名，而你是村里最厉害的勇士，所

以村民就拜托你去消灭它。

Village head: Inside the tunnel, there is a monster. Because you are the best warrior in our village, the villagers request you to fight the monster.

that I have to take a rest for a long time to take my power back.

[ At the witch ]

村长：巫师！有一件事情我们想请你帮忙。

Village head: Witch! We want to ask you to help.

巫师：是不是有关樟树林隧道怪声音的事啊，对不对？

Witch: It is about the strange sound of the forest, isn’t it?

当当：对、对、对！

Down-down: Exactly!

巫师：让我来问山神（做势占卜的样子），山神说只要把树木都砍掉就没有怪声音了。

Witch: Let me ask the tree god. The tree god told us if we cut down all the trees of the tunnel, we won’t hear any strange sound again.

哈利：可是我觉得这样子不好耶！

Harry: But I do not think it is a good way!

仙度拉：为什麼？

Sandra: Why?

哈利：既然是山神，是村子的守护神，当人民有难的时候就应该帮忙才对，为什麼要民众砍树种槟榔呢？

Harry: I think since it is the god, as people have a difficult time, he should help us instead of asking us to give tribute.

巫师：好大的胆子！你敢怀疑山神！

Witch: You dare to blaspheme the god!

村长：没有！没有！哈利！神明最大，不准你乱讲话（哈利负气下）

巫师：叮叮你不是希望能有一头牛？而你当当，你不是希望能够买一大片土地种稻米

Witch: Ding-ding, I remember that you want to have a cow? And Down-down ,

don’t you want to have a big land to plant rice?

叮叮：那我们赶快去山上砍树种槟榔。

Ding-ding: Let’s cut the trees down and plant betel nuts.

4 英语话剧剧本

【巫师、叮叮、村长、当当、仙度拉下场，而哈利上场】

[All go off the stage, Harry appears on the stage ]

哈利：仙度拉！我决定要勇闯树林，先跟你说声再见。

Harry: Sandra, I decide to go to the mountains. Goodbye !

仙度拉：哈利！这很危险你不要去啦！

Sandra: Harry! This is very dangerous!

哈利：没关系！总是要有人出来帮大家，因为槟榔树的涵水量并不高，而且根部无法抓土，虽然卖槟榔赚比较多钱，但是如果全部的人都种槟榔的话，一定会发生土石流，村人会有生命危险的。

Harry: It doesn't matter! We must help ourselves. Selling betel nuts can earn more money but the roots are unable to catch the soil. Besides betel nut trees cannot conserve much water. If all the villagers plant it, it is sure to happen mudslide and people will have life danger.

仙度拉：那我得赶快去告诉村人才行

Sandra: I go to tell the villages.

（转身要走，想一下，心理的话还是跟哈利说），

仙度拉：哈利！原来你这麼勇敢，我要跟你说一声对不起，之前我对你这麼坏。

Sandra: Harry! You are so brave. I am so sorry for treating you bad before.

哈利：没关系！请你帮我一个忙！

Harry: It’s all right! You find some people to help me, thank you! （说悄悄话，装石头进袋子）

哈利：今晚山神要抓妖了

Harry: The mountain god will catch the monster tonight.

【仙度拉下场带村民上场，大家听】

第四幕

地点：树林

人物：哈利、仙度拉、巫师、村长、众村民

【哈利上场】

哈利：好重啊！这一万个金币真重啊！

Harry: Very heavy! These 10,000 gold coins are very heavy!

【巫师怪声音出】

[The strange sound appear ]

哈利：好恐怖喔！难道是恶魔吗？赶快跑！

Harry: So horrible! A devil? Run quickly

（故意留下袋子，跑去旁边躲起来，巫师跑出来拿钱，哈利发出怪声音说）

(Leaving the sack on purpose, run to nearby to hide from, the witch runs out and takes the money, Harry emit the strange sound and say)

【村民怪声音】

哈利：呜呜呜….是谁敢来我的地盘！

Harry: Wu! -. Who dares to come in my domain!

巫师：啊！….不会是真的有恶魔吧？

Witch: Oh! A devil? Really?

哈利：甚麼恶魔！可恶！我是山神！我要把你变青蛙！

Harry: What devil! I am the mountain god! I will turn you into a frog!

巫师：不要哇！我….我…是不小心走进来的。

Witch: Oh! No! I didn’t mean to come in.

哈利：虔诚的向我朝拜！（巫师快速地拜拜）你睁开眼睛不够诚心喔！（巫

师闭上眼睛拜拜）

Harry:Bend your knees and worship me.(witch visits and visits fast) Don’t open your eyes! (witch closes eyes to visit and visit)

巫师：我是真诚的，请相信我！

Witch: I am sincere, please believe me!

哈利：你得闭著眼睛趴在地上，这样我才相信你是真心的。（巫师按照哈利所说的话做，然后众村民出现）

Harry: You must lie prone closing eyes on the ground, in this way I believe that you are wholehearted . (witch is according to make by what Harry say, then Harry appeared ), (all persons rush up in a crowd)

村长：原来所有的事都是你一手策划的啊！巫师！

Village head: You planned all these things alone! witch!

村长：巫师！你怎麼可以为了宝藏而害大家呢？

Village head: Witch! How can you hurt everybody for the treasure?

仙度拉：其实集集的宝藏就是这些老树。

Sandra: In fact, the treasureof Ji-Ji are these old trees.

威廉：为什麼？

William: Why?

哈利：知识就是力量啊！因为许多动物及植物在老树生活或进出，这些老树就像我们的好

朋友，除了让我们遮阳避雨外，树叶可以当有机肥料，且大树的涵水量高，可以涵

养水源，而且根部抓土深，可以避免土石流，所以集集的宝藏就是这些樟树木，树

木是守护集集的力量，我们应该保护它才对。

Harry: Knowledge is the power! Because the animals and plants live or pass in and out on the old trees, these old trees are just like our good friends. Besides, the trees let us sunshade and take shelter from rain and their leaves can act as the organic fertilizer. Moreover, big trees can contain lots of water and conserve the source of water. They also catch the soil deeply so they can prevent from mudslide. So the treasure of Ji-Ji are these camphor trees. They are the patron saints of Ji-Ji and we should protect them.

巫师：我错了！原来我这麼笨，不晓得树木对我们的贡献，请给再我一次机会，我愿意当

森林志工，保护树木。

Witch: I am wrong! I am so stupid! Now I know that these trees are so important for us. Please give me one more chance, I would like to act as the forest annals worker to protect them.

村长：哈利！谢谢你！你真的是第一名勇士，我们以你为荣（大家举起哈利庆祝）

Village head: Harry! Thank you! You are the best warrior. We are all proud of you. (everybody lifts his card to celebrate)

（欢唱歌曲，Happy End! ）(Sing merrily song, Happy End! )
