主题:传统故事屋 词数:180 建议用时:9分钟 语篇类型:记叙文
Su Qin was a young man from ancient China. He wanted to do great things, but he was not good at studying. He went to other countries to share his ideas, but no one listened to him. People laughed at him. Su Qin felt very sad. He went home and decided to change himself.
Every day, Su Qin studied very hard. He read books from morning to night. Sometimes he felt so tired that he wanted to sleep. But he did not give up. He tied(绑) his hair to the roof beam(屋顶梁)! When he nodded off, the pull(拉力) would wake him up. He also used an awl(尖锥) to poke(戳) his leg. The pain helped him stay awake and keep reading.
After many years of hard work, Su Qin became a great scholar. His ideas were wise and strong. Finally, he helped six countries work together. No one laughed at him anymore. People respected him because he never gave up. Su Qin showed us: if you work hard, you can become a better person.

短文翻译
勤奋的苏秦
苏秦是古代中国的一个年轻人。他想做出一番大事业,但学习却不太好。他去别的国家分享自己的想法,但没有人听他的。人们都嘲笑他。苏秦非常难过。他回到家中,决定要改变自己。
从那天起,苏秦学习非常刻苦。他从早到晚都在读书。有时候他太累了,很想睡觉。但他没有放弃。他把自己的头发绑在房梁上!当他打瞌睡的时候,绳子一拉就会把他弄醒。他还用锥子扎自己的大腿。疼痛帮助他保持清醒,继续读书。
经过多年的努力,苏秦终于成为了一位伟大的学者。他的想法既明智又有力。最后,他帮助六个国家联合起来。再也没有人嘲笑他了。人们都很尊敬他,因为他从不放弃。苏秦告诉我们:只要你努力,就能成为一个更好的人。
