Ⅰ 推荐一个英语短文吧!~~作Daily talk 用
A businessman walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan.
So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.
While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The businessman replied, "Where else in San Francisco can I park my car for two weeks for $15 bucks?"
or...
Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict.
It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.
Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days work" he said.
"Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?"
"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor, in fact, it's my younger brother.
Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll go him one better. See that pile of lumber by the barn?
I want you to build me a fence - - an 8-foot fence -- so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."
The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."
The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing, and hammering.
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all.
It was a bridge -- a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work handrails and all -- and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched.
"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."
The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see
the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder.
"No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.
"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build."

I have a dog called Chin. It is a smart dog too. Do you want to know how smart it is?
Last Sunday, I tried to train Chin to do an unusual trick, fetched slippers to each of our family members. I gave Chin to smell my slipper, my mum’s slipper and my dad’s slipper. It was very clever because it could distinguish which slippers belonged to. “Chin, go and give this slipper to mum.” I said. Then it fetched the slippers to mum. “Time passed through quickly. It times to sleep.” I thought.
On the next day, I returned home from school as usual. Chin was very smart because it fetched me my slippers. In order that, I give Chin a biscuit as a reward. Then I went back my room and started to do homework. When I was doing homework, I noticed that Chin was in and out of room for many times.
“That must be something wrong.” I thought. I turned round and saw what happened. “Oh my dear, there is a hill of slippers!” I shouted. Beside the “hill”, Chin was wagging and looking at me. I knew that it wanted to eat biscuit and I gave it a packet.
At night, Chin didn't eat its dinner anymore because it felt so full.
Why? Because of the packet of biscuit.
After that day, I think Chin is the smartest dog in the world. Do you agree?

Ⅹ 给一个超短的英语故事吧,急急急!
故事一:
One day, a teacher took his pupils to a chicken farm to pay a visit. When they came near the incubator, chick just got out of its egg shell.
一天,老师带学生到养鸡场参观,当他们走近孵化器时,刚好一只小鸡破壳而出。
"It's wonderful to see a little thing come out from the egg shell, isn't it?" the teacher said.
“看见一个小生命从蛋壳里出来,岂不是很奇妙的吗?”老师说。
"Yes, sir." said one of the boys, " but it would be more wonderful if we knew how a chick gets in to its eggs hell before hand."
“是的,老师。”一个男学生说,“可是,如果我们知道它是怎样事先钻进蛋壳里的那就更奇妙了。”
故事二:
Good and evil 善与恶
Weak forces of good and evil was expelled to the sky. Asked Zeus is good at, how can we return to earth to. Zeus told him that we should not and go, one by one of the world to visit it. Evil and people very close, so one after another to find them. Good because down from the sky, on the very slow to very slow.
参考译文:
力量弱小的善,被恶赶走到了天上。善于是问宙斯,怎样才能回到人间去。宙斯告诉他,大家不要一起去,一个一个的去访问人间吧。恶与人很相近,所以接连不断地去找他们。善因为从天上下来,所以就来得很慢很慢。
故事三:
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【译文】 一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去,当他沿着路走时,在路的一边他发现一箱好贫饮,他说:“我不计划吃那些贫饮,因为富人会给我更多的食物,他会给我特别好吃的东西。”接着他拿起贫饮,一把扔到土里去。 他继续走,来到河边,河涨水了,因此,他到不了河对岸,他等了一会儿,接着他说:“今天我去不了富人家了,因为我不能度过河。” 他开始回家,那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的,他找到贫饮,特别开心地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。 不要把好东西扔掉,换个时候你会觉得它们大有效果处。
行不?
