Day1 The Old, The Old Wine
陈年老酒
Once there lived a rich man who was justly proud of his cellar and the wine therein. And there was one jug of ancient vintage kept for some occasion known only to himself.
从前，有个富翁，不无理由地以他的酒窖和窖藏美酒自豪。其中有一瓶远年陈葡萄酒，是他珍藏着留作盛会用的，究竟是什么盛会，可只有他自己知道。
The governor of the state visited him, and he bethought him and said, "That jug shall not be opened for a mere governor."
地方官来拜访他，他心中寻思道："不过是地方官罢了，不必为他开这瓶酒。"
And a bishop of the diocese visited him, but he said to himself, "Nay, I will not open that jug.He would not know its value, nor would its aroma reach his nostrils."
教区的主教来拜访他，可他跟自己说道："不，我不愿为他开这瓶酒。他不会懂得这酒的价值，这酒的香味地也闻不出来。"
The prince of the realm came and supped with him. But he thought, "It is too royal a wine for a mere princeling."
王国的王子来临，和他一同进餐。但是他想："他不过是个小小的王子，不配喝那么高贵的美酒。"
And even on the day when his own nephew was married, he said to himself, "No, not to these guests shall that jug be brought forth."
甚至在他自己的侄儿结婚的时候，他也对自己说道："不，那瓶酒可不拿出来给那些客人们喝。"
And the years passed by, and he died, an old man, and he was buried like unto every seed and acorn.
岁月流逝，这老头儿终于死了，埋了，像种子和橡实一样。
And upon the day that he was buried the ancient jug was brought out together with other jugs of wine, and it was shared by the peasants of the neighbourhood. And none knew its great age.
他下葬的那天，那瓶远年陈葡萄酒和其它的酒都拿出来了，被农民和邻居们分着喝掉了。没有一个人辨别出这瓶酒是远年陈酒。
To them, all that is poured into a cup is only wine
对他们说来，凡是倒进酒杯里的，都不过是酒罢了。
Day2 The House of 1000 Mirrors 千镜之屋
Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以“千镜屋”而著名的地方。
A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.
一个乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观。当来到这个地方，他蹦蹦跳欢恰快的上了台阶，来到房门口。
He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could.
他高高竖起耳朵，欢快地摇着尾巴，从门口往里张望，
To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.
他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快的摇尾巴。
He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly.他灿烂地微笑着，回报他的是 1000张热情，友好的灿烂笑脸。
As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
离开时他心想："这是一个精彩的地主，我一定要经常来参观。"
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house.
在这个村里还有另一只想参观"千镜屋"的小狗，他不及第一只小狗乐观。
He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.
他慢吞吞地爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看。
When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.
一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便开始冲他们狂吠，镜中的1000只小狗也冲着他狂吠。
As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
把他给吓坏了，他在离开时心想："这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。"
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
世界上所有的脸都是镜子，在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?
Day3 False Alarm 错误的警告
Years ago while attending a dinner party hosted by some friends of mine the hostess served a meal with this delicious mushroom sauce. After the meal there was a small amount left over and the hostess decided to allow her pregnant cat to enjoy the treat as well as the guests. The guests all felt it was a great gesture and showed the cat was a member of the family.
The sauce was the highlight of the evening's topic of conversation, everyone commented on how delicious it was, and the hostess beamed at all the compliments. One of the guest commented that toadstools were much like mushrooms except for being toxic, and how funny it would be if such a culinary treat were made from that instead.
As if on cue, the pet cat started crying and squirming on the floor, clutching its belly. The hostess exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's the mushroom sauce!"
We all went to the emergency room in a mad rush, and had our stomachers pumped after telling them we had eaten poisonous mushrooms. This was an extremely unpleasant experience.We got back, the cat was lying on the floor peacefully looking up at us, and had given birth to kittens.
多年前，我参加了一个朋友组织的晚餐聚会，女主人拿出她亲手做的美味的蘑菇沙司来款待我们。 晚饭过后，还剩下一些沙司，因此女主人决定让她那怀孕的猫也像客人们一样享受这美味。在座的客人都感觉，这个伟大的举动表明这只猫就仿佛是家里的一员一样。沙司成为最受欢迎的话题，大家都说沙司简直太美味了。因为受到夸奖，女主人露出了微笑。其中一个客人说伞菌像极了蘑菇，只是有毒而已，假如用它来款待大家，那简直是太可笑了。
仿佛有了暗示一样，那只宠物猫开始在地板上又叫又滚，并且不停地挠自己的肚子。女
主人说道：“噢，我的上帝啊，它刚吃了蘑菇沙司呀!”
我们所有的人立即赶往急诊室，并告诉医生我们吃了毒蘑菇。我们都被洗了胃。这可真是一次令人感觉沮丧的经历。
从医院回来以后，那只猫平静地躺在地板上望着我们，它生小猫了!
Day4 Covering One's Ears While Stealing a Bell 掩耳盗铃
At the time when Fan, a nobleman of the state of Jin, became a fugitive, a commoner found a bell and wanted to carry it off on his back.
春秋时侯，晋国贵族智伯灭掉了范氏。有人趁机跑到范氏家里想偷点东西，看见院子里吊着一口大钟。钟是用上等青铜铸成的，造型和图案都很精美。小偷心里高兴极了，想把这口精美的大钟背回自已家去。
But the bell was too big for him.
可是钟又大又重，怎么也挪不动。
When he tried to knock it into pieces with a hammer there was a loud clanging sound.
他想来想去，只有一个办法，那就是把钟敲碎，然后再分别搬回家。小偷找来一把大锤，拼命朝钟砸去，咣的一声巨响，把他吓了一大跳。
He was afraid that someone will hear the noise and take the bell from him, so he immediately stopped his own ears.
小偷着慌，心想这下糟了，这种声不就等于是告诉人们我正在这里偷钟吗?他越听越害怕，不同自由地抽回双手，使劲捂住自已的耳朵。
To worry about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but to worry about himself hearing the noise (as if stopping his own ears would prevent other people from hearing) is absurd.
“咦，钟声变小了，听不见了!”小偷高兴起来，“妙极了!把耳朵捂住不住就听不进钟声了吗!”他立刻找来两个布团，把耳朵塞住，心想，这下谁也听不见钟声了。于是就放手砸起钟来，一下一下，钟声响亮地传到很远的地方。人们听到钟声蜂拥而至把小偷捉住了。
【知识小点心】
掩耳盗铃的故事寓意：
钟的响声是客观存在的，不管你掩不掩耳朵，它总是要响的。凡是要客观存在的东西，都不依人的主观意志为转移。有的人对不喜欢的客观存在，采取不承认的态度，以为如此，客观就不存在了，这和掩耳盗铃??一样，都是极端的主观唯心主义唯我论的表现。双语例句：
1. The cat shuts its eyes when stealing cream.
[谚]掩耳盗铃;猫偷吃奶油的时候，总是闭着眼睛。
2. Some media said the Fed's action only in self - deception.
有媒体称美联储的行动只是在掩耳盗铃。
Day5女娲补天的故事（英文版）
It is said that there were no men when the sky and the earth were separated. It was Nuwa who made men by moulding yellow clay. The work was so taxing that her strength was not equal to it. So she dipped a rope into the mud and then lifted it. The mud that dripped from the rope also became men. Those made by moulding yellow clay were rich and noble, while those made by lifting the rope were poor and low.
In a ancient times, the four corners of the sky collapsed and the world with its nine regions
split open. The sky could not cover all the things under it, nor could the earth carry all the things on it. A great fire raged and would not die out; a fierce flood raced about and could not be checked. Savage beasts devoured innocent people; vicious birds preyed on the weak and old.Then Nuwa melted rocks of five colours and used them to mend the cracks in the sky. She supported the four corners of the sky with the legs she had cut off from a giant turtle. She killed the black dragon to save the people of J1zhou, and blocked the flood with the ashes of reeds.Thus the sky was mended, its four corners lifted, the flood tamed, Jizhou pacified, and harmful birds and beasts killed, and the innocent people were able to live on the square earth under the dome of the sky. It was a time when birds, beasts, insects and snakes no longer used their claws or teeth or poisonous stings, for they did not want to catch or eat weaker things.
Nuwa's deeds benefited the heavens above and the earth below. Her name was remembered by later generations and her light shone on every creation. Now she was traveling on a thunder-chariot drawn by a two-winged dragon and two green hornless dragons, with auspicious objects in her hands and a special mattress underneath, surrounded by golden clouds, a white dragon leading the way and a flying snake following behind. Floating freely over the clouds, she took ghosts and gods to the ninth heaven and had an audience with the Heavenly Emperor at Lin Men where she rested in peace and dignity under the emperor. She never boasted of her achievements, nor did she try to win any renown; she wanted to conceal her virtues, in line with the ways of the universe.
女娲补天的神话故事
传说很久很久以前，没有天，没有地，没有山川湖泊，没有花草树木，没有飞禽走兽，更不用说有人类。
在盘古开天辟地之后才有了万物生灵。不知哪一年，西天突然塌了一块，天河中的水哗哗地从缺口流下人间，淹死了无数人畜，天下顿时沦为泽国。
当时，有个姑娘名叫女娲，住在再大的水也淹不到的山崖洞里。她目睹百姓颠沛流离，动了恻隐之心，立誓要把天上缺口补起来。她离开所住的崖洞，爬过无数高山，淌过许多大河，到处寻求补天的办法，可是都无结果。
她疲倦极了，坐下来歇息，不知不觉睡着了，做了一个很奇怪的梦，梦中有一位神仙告诉她，昆仑山顶堆满许多五色宝石，用大火将宝石炼过，就可以拿来补天。
女娲醒来后，就直奔昆仑山。昆仑山高耸陡峭，更有狮虎等恶兽无数，等闲人上不了山。但她一心一意想早日找到补天的宝石替天下百姓消灾，道路崎岖险恶，全不加理会，日夜兼程，来到昆仑山下。
举头一望，到处是处锯似的荆棘、犬齿般的乱石，不但上山无路，山顶更高不可攀。然而她不怕险阻，拨开荆棘，攀过乱石，手脚伤痕累累，脸也被剌花，仍不分日夜往上爬，正当爬得疲惫不堪时，荆棘丛中突然扑出一只老虎，对她张牙舞爪。女娲正要躲避，老虎抢先一步一把抓住了她，张开血盆大口，要咬她的头。她镇定地说：“老虎，你先别性急，我这个头可以给你吃，可要等我去山顶找到宝石，补好天上缺口，你再来吃好不好?”
老虎似知人意，就放她走了。女娲再往上走，山越来越陡，雾也越来越浓，累得走不动了。她跌跌撞撞，爬爬滚滚，始终不停步。突然一阵狂风吹来，一只金毛雄狮从林中跃出，一口咬住女娲的头发。老虎从后面赶上来，对着狮子咆吼说：“这妞儿是我先抓到的，说好她补完天后让我吃，你竟敢抢先?”
狮子听了放下女娲，和老虎厮斗起来。结果狮子不敌，被老虎赶跑了。但老虎生怕女娲再让狮子抢去，就尾随女娲，一直跟到山顶。
女娲在山顶上终于找到五色宝石。她捡了许多，堆在山顶上，烧起一把大火，炼了九九
八十一天，把宝石炼成熔浆。眼看熔浆炼成，女娲高兴极了，一次又一次用双手捧起熔浆拿去补天，直至天上缺口滴水不漏，她才舒了口气。这时，地上的百姓见天河水不再漏下来，纷纷重整家园，再过快活的日子。
女娲知道大功告成，完成了心愿，于是履行诺言，满心欢喜地对老虎说：“你现在可以吃我了!”
说完，她伸长颈项，等老虎来吃。说也奇怪，老虎并不来吃，反而和气地说：“像你这样一个为民造福、舍已为人的姑娘，我怎么能吃?况且，你将天补得完整无缺，我看了也开心。只是你还有剩余熔浆，多补一些，不是更牢靠吗?”
女娲听了，觉得老虎的话有道理，于是把剩下的熔浆全捧起来，高举双手，预备将缺口再加填补。眼看就要到天顶了，哪知突然从南海刮来一股狂风，吹得树倒山摇，女娲手中捧着的熔浆也吹掉了。
女娲一急，竟哭了起来。老虎见她这样，就对她说：“姑娘先不要哭，快骑到我背上，我们去把熔浆追回来。”
女娲果然止住泪，立即骑到老虎背上。老虎飞身跳下山崖，脚踏彩云，向光彩夺目的熔浆追去。
老虎背着女娲飞过三山五岳，飞过黄河长江，因为风太急了，始终没有追上。其后风渐渐平息了，他们加快脚步，哪知色彩斑斓的熔浆又慢慢向茫茫的大地落下去，他们唯有加一把劲向下追。追到洞庭湖上空，眼看就要追上了，老虎一时高兴，吼叫数声，慢了脚步。就在这电光火石的一刹那，女娲来不及接回熔浆，眼看着熔浆直泻洞庭湖。
熔浆一落到湖里，霎时间五彩缤纷，霞光万道，照得湖水通明透亮，不久熔浆就变成了七十二座形态不同的山峰，在水中半沉半浮，那白玉盘似的洞庭湖，添上了迷人的景致。女娲虽然惋惜，但又觉得熔浆落入人间，也是好事。她落下来，站在还没有凝固的山峰上，脚下踩的是绿宝石熔浆，留下了一双深深的脚印。她再行几步。原来带软的山峰就凝结了，成为一个小岛。
也不知过了多久，娥皇、女英追寻夫君舜帝来到这儿，知道舜的噩耗，哭死在山上，后人就称这座山为“君山”。
Day6 Three Days to See假如给我三天光明
Three Days to See
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, What happiness should we find in reviewing the past? What regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but
