战国时期,齐国有个叫淳于髡的人。他幽默机智,能说会道,给齐威王出过许多好主意,并且成功出使了许多其他的国家。
In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu (楚国) dispatched a large force to attack Qi.
公元349年,楚国派出大批军队攻打齐国。
The king of Qi sent Chunyu Kun to the state of Zhao (赵国) to ask for help, with a lot of valuable gifts.
齐王派淳于髡去赵国寻求帮助,于是他带着许多贵重的礼品去了赵国。
The king of Zhao accpeted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help Qi.
赵王见了礼物十分高兴,派了十万士兵去援助齐国。
The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news.
那天晚上,楚王得到这消息,马上撤回了自己的军队。
The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chunyu Kun. He set a banquet for celebration.

During the meal, the king asked Chunyu Kun, “How much wine can you drink before you’re drunk, Sir?“
在宴会上,齐威王问淳于髡:“先生你喝多少酒会醉?”
Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chunyu Kun decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied, “I get drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred.“
他幽默地回答说:“我有时喝一升酒就会醉,有时喝一百升酒才会醉。”
Puzzled, the king askked, “Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish another ninty litres?“
齐威王听了很奇怪。他问:“你喝一升已经醉了,怎么还会有喝一百升的道理呢?”
Chunyu Kun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under different conditions. He said, “This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it’s sorrow’s turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when you exceed the limits.“

英语幼儿故事1:A Noisy Neighbor
Barbara couldn’t take it any more. Her upstairs neighbor was blasting his stereo again. She had asked him twice already to turn the volume down. The first time she asked, he was surprised. He said he didn’t know that she could hear his stereo.
“Yes,“ she said, “it’s just like your stereo was in my living room. I can hear every note!“
He said he would keep it down. She hoped that he was telling the truth. Of course, he wasn’t. The very next day, he blasted his stereo. She marched upstairs to remind him of his promise. He said the volume was so low that he could barely hear it. She asked him to turn it lower. He said he would try. Barbara could swear that when she reentered her apartment, the music was louder than when she had walked upstairs.
So, this was the third time. She took her baseball bat upstairs with her. She knocked very loudly on his door. When he opened the door, she screamed at him like a crazy person. She told him she would kill him if he didn’t turn the music down and keep it down. His eyes got big.
She went back downstairs. She couldn’t hear a note.
I can’t believe I said that, she told herself.
英语幼儿故事2:The Loose Button
George wore a pair of blue shorts around the house. They were old, faded, and ugly, but they were comfortable. And when you are at home, you want to be comfortable. It wouldn’t be called “Home, Sweet Home“ if you didn’t feel comfortable there.
But when he put on his blue shorts one morning, the button was just hanging on by a thread. That single button was the only thing that held his shorts up.
George could do two things. He could wait until the button fell off. When that happened, it would probably roll under the sofa and be lost forever. Or, he could sew the button on securely before it fell off.
He found his sewing kit. He threaded the needle and tied a knot at the end of the thread. Then he started the needle through the cloth. He directed it through one of the holes in the button. Then he reversed direction. He put the needle back through a different hole, and then through the cloth again.
He repeated this motion through all four button holes until the button was tight. Then he tied a bunch of knots in the last bit of thread and snipped off the excess thread. He put on the shorts and buttoned the button. It was strong.
Good for another ten years, he smiled to himself.
英语幼儿故事3:Eddie’s Short Visit
Eddie drove over to see Betty. When he got to her apartment at about 3:15 p.m., he saw that her car wasn’t in the carport. So he wrote a note: “Hi, Betty. I love you and I miss you. Love, Eddie.“
He was about to tape the note onto her front door when he saw her car pull up. She walked up the stairs. Instead of the big smile, hug, and kiss that she usually greeted him with, she simply said, “What’s up?“
“You didn’t call me back for the last two days, honey, so I came over to see you.“ He gave her the note. She opened it, read it, and put it on the kitchen table.
“That’s sweet,“ she said. She walked into her bedroom. Eddie followed her. She put her purse on the bed. Eddie tried to hug her.
“I have to wash my hands,“ she said. When she came out of the bathroom, she told Eddie that he should go home. She said that she was hungry and tired. She was going to fix something to eat. Then she was going to take a nap. She said that she might call him later.
During Eddie’s entire five-minute visit, Betty had constantly avoided his eyes. Instead of walking him out to his car, like she usually did, Betty locked her front door as soon as Eddie was outside her apartment.

He then addressed them in these words: “My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.“
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说:「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行分裂,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。」

“No, good sir,“ replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.“ Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.“ “No,“ exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me.“ On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.“The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了它,并大声说:「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。」

But when New Yorkers heard his southern accent, they gave him the cold shoulder. Angry, Billy Ray returned to Virginia. Someday, he hoped to teach those New Yorkers a lesson.
He set up his new ad agency in Raleigh. Then he called up GEICO headquarters in New York. He told them that they could improve their sales if they used a gecko to advertise GEICO. They balked at first, but then approved his ad campaign. In the new commercial, the animated lizard said, “I’m a gecko, not a GEICO.“ GEICO was originally going to do one TV commercial with the bright green lizard, and then retire it.

Tourists from around the world visit Hollywood. Buses take them past the Hollywood sign. At Grauman’s Chinese Theater, they press their hands into the imprints of movie stars who long ago pressed their hands into wet cement. Tourists pause at the gold stars in the sidewalks with the movie stars’ names on them.
Buses drive past movie stars’ houses. Tourists hope to see a star chatting with friends or tanning by the pool. Unfortunately, most of the houses are behind high hedges or down long winding driveways; tourists are lucky to even see a chimney.
And finally, tourists take pictures everywhere and with everyone. A popular picture opportunity in Hollywood is with movie characters like Chewbacca from “Star Wars.“
However, Chewbacca might not be so popular anymore. Last week, outside Grauman’s, Chewbacca gave two young female tourists a hard time. He kept trying to hug them as they took pictures of each other.

Someone called 911, and the cops came and arrested Chewbacca.
