英语诗歌

It was a lovely summer day in the country. Mother Duck sat on her eggs for a long time. After a while, one by one, ducklings came out of the eggs. Ducklings: Peep, peep Mother Duck: Quack, quack! Are you all out? Duckling1: No, one egg is still here. Look how big it is! At last, the big egg came open. This duckling was very big and very ugly! MD: Oh,my!This duckling is big and different from the others. I wonder if it is a turkey. We will soon find out. Mother Duck took her ducklings to the water. One after another, the little ducklings jumped in the water. The Ugly Duckling also jumped in the water and swam very well. ---- [hide=-1] MD: Oh, he is not a turkey. Turkeys can’t swim. He is my child. Let’s go to the farmyard. But you must stay close to me and watch out for the cat. Duck1:Look at that duckling! He looks so strange. Duck2:He is so big and ugly. Go away! MD: Please, leave him alone. He is not doing any harm. But the ducks pecked the Ugly Duckling. All the animals in the farmyard bit him and pushed him, too. Ducklings: I wish the cat would eat you! MD: You should never have been born. So the poor, little duckling was very sad. Finally, he ran away. UD: Why does everyone hate me? Is it because I am so ugly? But I am really nice. The Ugly Duckling met two wild ducks. WD: What kind of duck are you? You are really ugly. But that’s OK, if you don’t marry one of our family Then the Ugly Duckling heard, “Pop, pop!” And the two wild ducks fell dead. Just then, many hunting dogs appeared. The Ugly Duckling was very afraid. So, he tucked his head under his wing. A hunting dog sniffed the Ugly Duckling. “Sniff, sniff!” Dogs: You are ugly! And they went away without touching the Ugly Duckling. UD: Oh, I am alive! No one wants me. Even dogs don’t want to bite me. He felt lucky but, at the same time, he felt sad. The poor duckling waited for several hours, and then, ran away. A storm began. The rain and lightning terrified the Ugly Duckling. He was so cold and wet! He ran and ran as he looked for shelter from the storm. Finally, he arrived at a cottage. An old woman, a cat, and a hen lived in this cottage. He went inside. UD: May I have some food? Old Woman: Oh, what a prize! Is it a fat duck? Now, I can have duck’s eggs. The old woman’s sight was very bad. So the duckling lived there for a few days. But the hen and the cat were mean to the duckling. Hen: I can lay eggs. Can you do that? UD: No. Cat: I can catch a mouse. Can you do that? UD: No. Cat: Then, what can you do? UD: I can swim. Cat: Oh, no one should swim! You will surely drown! UD: I won’t drown. Cat and Hen: You are a big liar! So the poor duckling left the cottage. Soon, summer turned into fall. The Ugly Duckling swam in the pond. A group of swans flew over the duckling. UD: What beautiful birds! I wish I could be like them. The weather grew colder and colder. Now, winter came. UD:I must swim and swim, or the pond will freeze around me. But every night, the space became smaller and smaller. Finally, the pond froze, and the duckling couldn’t move any more. Early in the morning, a farmer saw the frozen duckling. Farmer: Oh, poor duckling! I’ll take you home to my wife and children. The wife took care of the duckling. Soon, the duckling got well. But the children wanted to play with the duckling. Children: Come play with us! Come play with us! The duckling was scared. The farmer’s wife and the children chased the duckling around the farm house. Finally, he ran out the door. A beautiful spring came. The Ugly Duckling saw the butterflies dancing and heard the birds singing. One day, his wings felt very strong. So, he flapped them against his sides and flew high into the sky. UD: Wow, I can fly so high! What’s happened to me? The Ugly Duckling saw a beautiful garden with a pond. He decided to rest there for a while. UD: I want to stay with these beautiful birds. But, they will kill me because I am so ugly. At least, I will die happily, if I can be with them for a while. So, he swam towards the swans. When the swans saw the young bird, they swam to him. UD: Peck me, if you must! And he bent his head down to the surface of the water. The Ugly Duckling saw a

beautiful swan looking back at him in the water! UD: Oh! Is that really me? I am a beautiful swan! I am not an ugly duckling after all! The three swans welcomed the young swan. Some children came to the pond and threw pieces of bread into the water. Children: Look, there is another swan! This new one is the most beautiful of all. The Ugly Duckling was so happy. He was more beautiful than he had ever hoped to be. And now, he knew where he belonged [/hide]

The Difference Between Love and Like爱与喜欢的区别

In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster,But in front of the person you like, you get happy. In front of the person you love, winter seems like spring, But in front of the person you like, winter is just beautiful winter. If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush, But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.In front of the person you love, you can’t say everything on your mind, But in front of the person you like, you can. In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy, But in front of the person you like, you can show your own self. The person you love comes into your mind every 2 minutes, You can’t look straight into the eyes of the one you love, But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.When the one you love is crying, you cry with them, But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting. The feeling of love starts from the eye. And the feeling of like starts from the ear. So if you stop liking a person you used to like, All you need to do is cover your ears.But if you try to close your eyes, Love turns into a teardrop and remains in your heart forever after.

面对心爱的人，你的心跳会加速，然而面对喜欢的人，你会兴高采烈。面对心爱的人，冬天就像是春天， 然而面对喜欢的人，冬天是个美丽的冬天。假如你凝视的是心爱的人，你会脸红， 但假如你凝视的是喜欢的人，你会微笑。面对心爱的人，你不能说出心中的一切，然而面对喜欢的人，你言无不尽。面对心爱的人，你容易羞涩， 然而面对喜欢的人，你能展现真实的自我。心爱的人时刻萦绕在你心头， 你不能直视心爱的人的眼睛， 而你却能欣然接受喜欢的人的目光。 当心爱的人哭泣，你会一同落泪，而当喜欢的人哭泣，你会停下来安慰。爱的感觉源自眼睛，而喜欢的感觉源自耳朵。所以如果你不再喜欢你喜欢的人，你只需要堵住耳朵。 但是如果你试图闭上眼睛，爱便会化作一滴泪水，永远留在你的心中

九月九日忆山东兄弟 王维 独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。Double Ninth, Missing My Shandong Brothers Wang Wei As a lonely stranger in the strange land, Every holiday the homesickness amplifies. Knowing that my brothers have reached the peak, All but one is present at the planting of flowers

May Buddha let us meet in my most beautiful hours,I have prayed for it for five hundred years.Buddha made me a tree by the path you may take, In full blossoms I’m waiting in the sun every flower carrying my previous hope.As you are near, listen carefully ，the quivering leaves are my waiting zeal,As you pass by the tree without noticing me,My friend, upon the ground behind you，is not the fallen petals but my withered heart.

如何让你遇见我，在我最美丽的时刻。为这我已在佛前求了五百年，求佛让我们结一段尘缘。佛於是把我化做一棵树，长在你必经的路旁。阳光下，慎重地开满了花，朵朵都是我前世的盼望。当你走近，请你细听，那颤抖的叶，是我等待的热情。而当你终於无视地走过，在你身後落了一地的。朋友啊，那不是花瓣。那是我凋零的心。
