簡單的英文短文篇一：英語簡單中英文章閱讀

Language

Many animals use some kind of language.

They use signals which have meanings.

For example, when a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home.

It is impossible for a bee to tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it can do a little dancing.

This tells the bees where the food is and how far away it is.

Some animals show how they feel by making sounds.

It is not difficult to tell if a dog is angry because it barks.

Birds make several different sounds and each has its own meaning.

Sometimes we humans make sounds in the same way.

We make sounds like. "Oh!" or "Ouch!" to show how we feel about something or when we drop something on our toes!

But we have something that no animal has: a large number of words which have the meaning of things, action, feelings or ideas.

We are able to give each other information, to tell other people what is in our mind, or how we feel.

By writing down words we can remember what has happened or send messages to people far away.

It is impossible for animals to do this.

Some birds, like the parrot, can be taught to say words, but they do not know what they mean .

They cannot use the words.

No one knows how man learned to make words.

Perhaps he began by imitating animals.

Perhaps he imitated sounds he heard all around him: water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground.

In some way he learned to make words.

As the centuries went by , he made more and more words.

This is what we mean by language.

The words we know are called our vocabulary.

We should try to make our vocabulary bigger.

We should read as many books as we can .

There are plenty of books written in English for us to read.

Of course , there are new words in them.

When we find a new word, we can look it up in our dictionary.

Our dictionary is our most useful book.

許多動物使用某種語言。

它們使用具有意義的信號。

例如，當一只蜜蜂找到食物時，它就回家去。

蜜蜂不可能跟其他的蜜蜂說話，來告訴它們食物在那里，但是它能做一點飛舞的動作。

這就告訴那些蜜蜂食物在那里以及食物有多遠。

有些動物藉由發(fā)出聲音，來表示它們的感受如何。

要知道狗是否生氣并不難，因為它會叫。

鳥發(fā)出幾種不同的聲音，而且每一種都有它本身的意義。

有時我們?nèi)祟愐灿猛瑯拥姆绞桨l(fā)出聲音。

我們發(fā)出像“喔�。⒒颉鞍ム。。⒌穆曇魜肀硎疚覀兊母惺芑虮硎疚覀兊袅藮|西砸到腳趾頭。

但是我們擁有動物所沒有的東西：(那就是有)很多的文字具有表達事物、行為、感情或觀念的意義。

我們能夠互相提供消息，能夠告訴別人我們的想法，或我們的感受。 用文字記下，我們可以記住所發(fā)生的事情，或者傳送信息給遠方的人。 這是動物所不可能做到的。

有些鳥，像鸚鵡，能夠教會說話，但它們不知道那些話的意思。

它們不會使用那些話。

沒有人知道人類如何學(xué)會造字。

也許人類藉由模仿動物而開始的。

也許他模仿他周圍所聽到的一切的聲音：水的飛濺聲、蜜蜂的嗡嗡聲、石頭的落地聲。

用某種方式人類學(xué)會了造字。

隨著幾世紀的過去，人類造了越來越多的字。

這就是我們所謂的語言。

我們所認識的字稱為我們的字匯。

我們應(yīng)該設(shè)法使我們的字匯擴大。

我們應(yīng)該盡可能多閱讀書籍。

有很多用英文寫的書可以供我們閱讀。

當然，書里面有生字。

當我們發(fā)現(xiàn)生字的時候，我們可以查字典。

字典是我們最有用的書。

Names And Nicknames

Chris: Father, I want to ask you something.

Mr.White: Yes? What's that?

Chris: I want to know the origin of "nickname", because it seems a funny word. Mr. White: Well then, listen carefully.

Do you know the meaning of the old English word "eke" e-k-e?

Chris: No. Never heard of it in my life.

Mr. White: Well, it means "also".

And if you say "an eke name" quickly, it sounds like "a nickname".

Chris: So it does.

So a nickname is another name, or an additional name?

Mr. White: You're right.

Now, at first people had only one name, Thomas, John, Richard, etc. and these names were very numerous in England.

So to tell one John from another, for instance, an additional name was necessary. Sometimes the other name was a place name.

John who lived by the church was called John Church; and John who lived on the hill was called John Hill.

That is how we get the common English names of Church, Hill, Field, Wood, etc. They are quite common in England and America.

Some men were given their fathers' names.

Thomas the son of Richard was called Thomas Richardson.

Many English family names end in "son".

Chris: What about the name Smith, which is by far the commonest of English names? Mr. White: Of course, Smith means a blacksmith, and blacksmiths were very numerous in old times, far more numerous than they are now.

Very often the second name was given according to the work or occupation of the person.

That's how we get the family names, such as Taylor, Farmer, and Clerk.

Sometimes a man was called after some characteristic.

For instance, the first John Long was certainly a tall man; just as the first Mr. Small was undoubtedly a short man.

Chris: But such names are not nicknames, they are family names.

Mr. White: You're quite right; but they were nicknames once.

Now the word has changed its meaning: it means a special name, not a real name, that is used by a person's friends and familiar acquaintances.

Many nicknames are shortened forms of the real names.

General Montgomery's soldiers always called him Monty.

Chris: Then that's why you generally call me Chris?

Mr. White: That's right.

Christopher is too big a word for everyday use.

But there is one peculiar class of nicknames that are generally given to men who have certain family names.

When I listen to my teacher Benny, who is a teacher teaching English, I can always understand what he’s talking about. I have been learning English for …… (two)years, and I have loved it so much. I am always told by my friends that my English is getting better than before.

Yesterday, Benny said to me, “How beautiful your English is! What a good student you are!”

And I told him that if I had started earlier, my English would have become better.

I was wondering, “Am I late? What can I do? ”

Benny answered, “Don’t be nervous! The fact that you are late is not a problem, the problem is how hard you are learning now. How you learn it is also very important, isn’t it? What would you say?”

I would say I will try my best to make my English as good as possible, and I am sure that I will have spoken like a foreigner by the end of my school years and I will be teaching others how to learn it. They would be calling me a teacher. There is always one dream in my heart, and this is it.

Only with this dream would I study hard. And I will never give up.

in the house where he was born that they got married. Tom liked to write stories and Jane loved all the stories that Tom wrote. They had 5 children, of whom 3 were boys. The children were very clever, which made Tom very happy. All the children went to college, as their parents expected. Tom once said he would never forget the day when he met Jane. Tom believed that Jane was the most beautiful girl that he had ever met. That was the reason why he wanted to marry her. Jane said that Tom was the person with whom she would live for a whole life. They were really a happy couple, from whom we can learn a lot. Their children live in a family where the parents are treating them like a friend. We all admire the way (in which/that) Tom treats his children. He is such a good man as everyone would like to live with.

Tom is one of the villagers who have been reported in the newspaper and he is the only one of those villagers who has acted in a film. .Love is a riddle, not until after I try would I find it simple

Punctuality（守時）

Punctuality is a good habit and manner people should have. It means that one should do things in time. People usually make plans for their lives or work, and punctuality is the basic requirement to carry out the plan. In our daily lives, we often make appointments with others, and time is one of the most important matters of appointment. If you are late, you would make others disappointed or even angry, so that it would do harm to your relationship with others. On the contrast, if you are punctual, you must wish others punctual too. Punctuality shows your respect to others, because you cherish his or her time. And it

will make you respected, too.

Never Give Up

Since I was a little child,

I was taught that don't give up forever. My mother told me that teaching me how to walk was a tough task. When I just learned how to walked, I fell down frequently, but she or my father never helped me to stand up, because they wanted me to stand up by myself. After fell down again and again, I finally learned walking. My parents were proud of me. Now, whenever I meet with a problem or get into trouble, no matter how hard the situation is, I rarely stop my step, because I have a faith in my mind that the most beautiful view will come in after the highest hill. If you are sure what you do, then you just stick to it. Nothing is the world is easy, so we will always meet challenges in life, but remember one thing that never give up and sunshine comes after the storm.

Nightmare（噩夢）

People always say that dreams are always great because we can do something that we can not do in real life and some unimaginable thing can happen. However, the dream I had last night was horrible. In a rainy day, I was running to my home. But when I was near to the river, I saw a ghost on the other side of the river. I was scared, so I wanted to run more quickly. But, I suddenly found that my les frozen and I fell down. And then I found three people I knew, so I shouted and asked for help. Unfortunately, they just saw me quietly and nobody helped me. Then I cried and woke up. After I woke up, I was still scared, so that I turned on the light. But the good thing was that I feel lucky after woke up, because nothing horrible happened.
