I'm Trying to Stop It
"Boy, why have you got cotton-wool in your ear? Is it infected?"
"No, sir, but you said yesterday that everything you told me went in one ear and out the other , so I am trying to stop it."
“孩子,你为什么用棉花塞住耳朵?它感染了吗?”
“没有,老师.可是你昨天说你告诉我的知识都是一个耳朵里进,一个耳朵里出,所以我要把它堵在里面.”
The Cock and the Jewel（公鸡和宝石）
A cock, scratching in the farmyard for food for the hens, turned up a precious stone that shone and sparked in the sun.
"Well," said the Cock, "I don't know what you are doing here. You are a very beautiful thing, and no doubt if your owner found you he would be delighted, but you are no good to me. I would rather have one grain of delicious barley than all the precious stones under the sun!"
MORAL: Judge thins by their true value.
公鸡在农家的庭院里用爪子搔呀刨呀,为母鸡觅食.他从地里翻出了一粒宝石,那粒宝石在阳光下闪闪发光.
“喂!”公鸡说,“我不知道你在这儿干吗.你是一个挺美丽的玩意儿.如果你被主人发现,毫无疑问,他一定会喜出望外,可是,你对我却没有丝毫用处.我情愿要一棵美味的大麦,而不要天下所有的宝石.”
The Fox and the Tiger（狐狸和老虎）
An Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many of the wild animals. This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide. At last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own. While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs. The Tiger howled with pain.
While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?
"Nay," said the Tiger, "I misjudged my enemy. It was that unbeatable man over there!"
MORAL: Knowledge is power.
狐狸和老虎
一个射手正在森林里打猎.他的箭法好极了,射死了许多野兽.这可大大地吓坏了余下的动物,它们都跑到最茂盛的灌木丛中躲藏起来.最后,老虎站了起来,装着非常勇敢的样子叫其余的动物相信它的勇敢,不必再害怕.它将独个儿向敌人进攻.它一边说着,一边甩动着它的尾巴,并用它的爪子刨着地上的泥土,想使别人更信任它.就在这时,一枝箭飞来,刺穿了他的肋骨,老虎顿时痛得吼叫起来.
正当它尽力用牙齿拔出身上的箭时,狐狸走上前来吃惊地问道：“谁能有这样的力气和胆量来伤害象老虎这样勇敢而强有力的野兽呢?”
“不,”老虎说,“我错误地判断了我的敌人,是那边那个不可战胜的人打败了我.”
牙齿仙女 TOOTH FAIRY
Primitive peoples believe that hair, nail clippings, and lost teeth remain magically linked to the owner even after they have been disconnected from his body. As any voodoo artist will tell you, if you want to grind someone into powder, you don't need to touch him at all. It's quite enough to stamp on a missing molar and let "contagious magic" do the rest. This is why peoples all over the world traditionally hide lost body parts, lest they fall into the wrong hands.
远古时期的人们认为毛发、剪下的指甲和脱落的牙齿即使离开了人的身体,仍与其主人保持着神秘的联系.正如任何一个伏都教大师都会告诉你的,假如你想置某人于死地,根本用不着去碰他,只需用脚踩碎那人脱落的一颗臼齿就够了,剩下的事就交给“无边的法力”去办.这就是为什么全世界各个民族都习惯于把身体上脱落的东西藏起来,以免落入恶人之手.
American children's ritual of hiding lost teeth under their pillows probably derives distantly from this practice. But there is an obvious difference, for when Suzie conceals her baby milk-tooth, she fully expects it to be found, and by a good magician, not an evil one. Moreover, she expects to be paid for having surrendered it, and at the going rate. Nothing mare clearly suggests the blithe commercial gusto of our culture than this transformation of a fearful superstition into a cheery business transaction.
美国儿童把脱落的牙齿藏到枕头下的习惯做法很可能与这个习俗稍有联系.但两者又有明显的差别,因为当小苏珊把她的乳牙藏起来时,她其实满心希望有个善良的,而不是邪恶的巫师能发现她的牙齿.而且由于交出了牙齿,她还希望按现行价格得到报偿.我们把可怕的迷信变成了愉快的商业交易,没有什么比这更明白地表明我们文化中的令人愉快的商业热情.
Because American children expect fair exchange for their lost teeth, it is likely that the tooth fairy ritual derives more immediately from the European, and particularly German, tradition of placing a lost tooth in a mouse or a rat hole. The folk belief governing this practice is that when a new tooth grows in, it will possess the dental qualities, not of the original, lost tooth, but of whatever creature finds it, so the creatures of choice would be those world-class champers, the rodents.
因为美国孩子希望用他们脱落的牙齿作公平交易,所以牙齿仙女的习俗可能更直接渊源于欧洲风俗,尤其是德国风俗中把脱落的牙齿放在老鼠洞里的传统做法.这种习俗依据的民间观念认为,新牙长出来时不具有原先脱落的牙齿的特质,哪种动物发现了掉下来的牙,新牙就具有那种动物的牙的特质.因此,要选那些世界一流的擅长啃咬的动物,那些啮齿目动物.
Thus the optimistic, "fair exchange" principle most likely started in Germany and was brought here by German immigrants. It was only left to America to replace the beneficent “tooth rat” with the more agreeable fairy and to replace the traditional hope of hard molars with our more characteristic hope of hard cash.
因此,这种乐观的“公平交易”原则很可能发源于德国,并由德国移民带到了这里.美国人只是把好心的“牙齿老鼠”换成了更可亲的仙女,而传统上人们希望长出坚固的牙齿,到我们这儿却变成了希望拿到现金,这就更具有我们的特色.

"元旦"is the day God come to our world
春节
In a Chinese legend,"Nien" was a terrible beast.It ate not only animals but also people.
People felt that they had to do something to stop Nien from eating any more people.
They found out that Nien was scared of three things anything colored red, loud noises, and fire.When the next winter came,
many people put red couplets on their front doors.
People set off firecrackers to make loud noises.People also set bonfires in front of their houses.
One night, Nien came. The red couplets, the noises and the fire frightened it. So it ran away to the mountains and never came back again.
People stayed up all night that night with their families because they were afraid.The next morning, people discovered that Nien had run away！
They congratulated one another by saying “Gon Xi”
All about Chinese New Year
Shortly before Chinese New Year, all Chines clean up their houses.It is symbolic of sweeping away all bad luck. Many people put red plets on their front doors.
Some people put the word “Fu” upside –down on the wall. "Fu" means luck. The character “Fu” upside-down actually means, “luck in coming.”Many people go home to have a big dinner with their family.
There are a lot of special foods served, such as hotpot and fish.At the end of the big dinner, parents give their children money in
red envelopes.
The money represents good luck and prosperity. Many families stay up all night to welcome in the New Year. On New Years Day, people set off firecrackers.
People also wear new clothes and hats to celebrate the New Year. Many people worship their ancestors on the first day of the New Year.
Dragon dances and stilt stunts are also performed on that special day. On the second day of the New Year, daughters –in – law go back to their own mother’s house for a family reunion.
