THE STONE IN THE ROAD
Once upon a time there was a king who often thought,“Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day,he had an idea.
路上的石头
从前有个国王,他常常想:“如果一个国家的人民只会抱怨,指望别人来解决他们的问题,那么这个国家就不会有什么好结果。”一天,他有了一个想法。
Early one morning,the king disguised① himself and went to a local village.He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid gold coins under the stone.Then he hid behind a huge maple② tree and watched.
①disguise/dIs'ɡaIz/vt.装扮;假扮;掩盖n.[U]伪装;[C,U]化装用具
in disguise乔装
②maple/'meIpl/n.枫树;槭树
一天清晨,国王乔装打扮后去了当地一个村庄。他在一条大街中间放了一块大石头,并把一些金币藏在石头下面。然后他躲在一棵大枫树后面观察。
The first person down the street was a milkman③ with his cart④.He crashed into the stone,spilling⑤ the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted.He picked himself up⑥ and angrily went away.
本句为简单句。v.-ing形式spilling the milk everywhere在句中作结果状语。
③milkman n.[C](尤指英国的)送奶工
[构词法] milkman是由“名词+名词”构成的复合名词。类似的词还有newspaper报纸,workshop车间,bookstore书店等。
④cart/kɑːt/n.[C]手推车;运货马车
a horse and cart 一套马车
⑤spill/spIl/vt. & vi.(spilled/spilt,spilled/spilt)(使)洒出;(使)溢出
⑥pick oneself up (跌倒后)站起来
沿街走来的第一个人是推着手推车的送奶工。他撞上了石头,牛奶洒得到处都是。“哪个傻瓜把这块石头放在这里了?”他大喊道。他站起来,愤怒地走开了。
After a while,a group of women came along,each balancing⑦ a pot of water on her head.One woman tripped over⑧ the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground.She picked herself up and limped⑨ away in tears⑩.Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
此处为独立主格结构,在句中作伴随状语。
⑦balance vt. & vi.使(在某物上)保持平衡,立稳
⑧trip over被……绊倒
trip vi.绊,绊倒vt.将……绊倒,使跌倒
⑨limp/lImp/vi.跛行;一瘸一拐地走
⑩in tears流着泪;含着泪
tear/tIə(r)/n.[C](常用复数)眼泪;泪水
过了一会儿,一群妇女走了过来,每个人头上都顶着一罐水。一位妇女被石头绊倒,她的水罐掉在了地上。她站起来,一瘸一拐地哭着走了。她和她的朋友们都没有想过把石头从路上移开。
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone,but he found nobody making an attempt⑪ to move it.The king was in despair⑫.“Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbours from⑬ harm⑭?”
此处为“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。
⑪attempt n.[C,U]试图;企图;尝试v.努力,尝试,试图
make an attempt to do sth.试图做某事
at the/one's first attempt (某人)首次尝试时
in an attempt to do sth.试图做某事

⑫in despair处于绝望中
despair/dI'speə(r)/n.[U]绝望vi.绝望;感到无望
⑬keep sb.from sth./doing sth.让某人远离某事物/防止某人做某事
keep sb.doing sth.让某人一直做某事
⑭harm/hɑːm/n.[U] & vt.伤害;损害
国王一整天都看着许多人抱怨这块石头,但他发现没有人试图挪走它。国王陷入了绝望。“难道这个村子里就没有人觉得自己有责任保护自己的邻居不受伤害吗?”
Just then,the king saw a young girl coming along.She was the daughter of a local farmer.She had been working all day and was very tired.But when she saw the stone, she said to herself,“This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark.I'll move it out of the way.”
就在这时,国王看见一个年轻的女孩走了过来。她是当地的一个农民的女儿。她已经工作了一整天,非常疲惫。但当她看到那块石头时,她自言自语道:“这块石头对天黑后走这条街的任何人来说都很危险。我要把它从路上移开。”
The girl pushed the stone with all her might⑮.After a great deal of⑯ effort⑰, she finally succeeded in moving it to the side of the street. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
本句为复合句。其中when在此处引导时间状语从句,该从句中又包含一个where引导的地点状语从句。
⑮might/maIt/n.力量,威力
with all one's might用尽某人的全力
⑯a great deal (of)大量
⑰effort n.[U,C]气力;努力;[C]艰难的尝试;试图;尽力
那个女孩用尽全力去推石头。花了很大的功夫后,她终于成功地把它挪到了街边。想象一下,当她看到原本放石头的地方有许多金币时,她有多么惊讶!
Just then,the king stepped out from behind the tree.“Oh sir,” the girl said, “does this gold belong to you? If not, we surely must find the owner,for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said,“My dear, the gold is mine.I put it in the road and moved the stone over it.Now the gold is yours,because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I wanted to teach my people.”
就在这时,国王从树后走了出来。“噢,先生,”女孩说,“这些金子是你的吗?如果不是,我们必须找到失主,不然他一定会丢失它的。”
国王说:“亲爱的姑娘,金子是我的。我把它放在路上,还把石头搬来放上去。现在金子是你的了,因为你是唯一一个学到了我想给我的人民上的一课的人。”

最近你在《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)中读了《狐狸和葡萄》(The Fox and the Grapes)的故事。故事中狐狸因为摘不到葡萄而故意说葡萄是酸的。这个故事告诉我们:在现实生活中,我们有时也会和狐狸一样,在面对错误或问题时,不是勇敢地去解决,而是不断为自己找借口。现在请你根据故事内容并结合自己的情况或某些社会现象写一篇评论。
注意:1.词数80左右;

[参考范文]
Recently I read a small story in Aesop's Fables,whose name is The Fox and the Grapes.
It is very clear that the fox was looking for an excuse for his not being able to pick grapes.
After reading the fable I realize that when we are wrong we should not find or make up an excuse to cover up our own problems.Instead, we should bravely admit the mistakes and try to correct them.Only in this way might we succeed someday;otherwise,we may also become the “sour fox”.
