適合朗讀的英語小短文

（一）

Napoleon Was Ill

Jack had gone to the university to study history, but at the end of his first year, his history professor failed him in his examinations, and he was told that he would have to leave the university. However, his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge him to let Jack continue his studies the following year.

"He‘s a good boy," said Jack‘s father, "and if you let him pass this time, I‘m sure he‘ll improve a lot next year and pass the examinations at the end of it really well."

"No, no, that‘s quite impossible," replied the professor immediately. "Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon had died, he didn‘t know!"

"Please, sir, give him another chance," said Jack‘s father. "You see, I‘m afraid we don‘t take any newspaper in our house, so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill."

杰克到一所大學(xué)去學(xué)歷史。第一學(xué)期結(jié)束時，歷史課教授沒讓他及格。學(xué)校讓他退學(xué)。然而，杰克的父親決定去見教授，強烈要求讓杰克繼續(xù)來年的學(xué)業(yè)。

“他是個好孩子，”杰克的父親說：“您要是讓他這次及格，我相信他明年會有很大進(jìn)步，學(xué)期結(jié)束時，他一定會考好的?！?/p>

“不，不，那不可能，”教授馬上回答?！澳阒绬?上個月我問他拿破侖什么時候死的，他都不知道。”

“先生，請再給他一次機會吧?！苯芸说母赣H說：“你不知道，恐怕是因為我們家沒有訂報紙。我們家的人連拿破侖病了都不知道?！?/p>

（二）

This must be the world's largest food fight—and certainly the messiest (臟亂的). Every year around 30,000 people come to the Spanish town of Bunol. They throw more than 240,000 pounds of tomatoes at each other. The streets are flooded with tomato juice, seeds, and skins. The actual tomato throwing starts at 11am and stops at 1pm. Whatever the real reason for the first tomato war, one thing's for sure: these days people need no excuse to throw tomatoes at each other, they do it just for fun!

這一定是世界上最大規(guī)模的食物大戰(zhàn)——當(dāng)然是也是最臟亂的。每年都有大約3萬人來到西班牙小鎮(zhèn)布諾。他們互相彼此扔超過240,000 磅的西紅柿。街道上充斥著西紅柿汁,籽和果皮。扔西紅柿大戰(zhàn)上午11點開始，結(jié)束于下午1點。不管第一次西紅柿大戰(zhàn)的真正理由是什么，有一件事情是肯定的：在這期間，人們彼此扔西紅柿不用道歉，他們只是為了娛樂。

（三）

Five Months Older

The Second World War had begun, and John wanted to join the army, but he was only 16 years old, and boys were allowed to join only if they were over 18. So when the army doctor examined him, he said that he was 18.

But John‘s brother had joined the army a few days before, and the same doctor had examined him too. This doctor remembered the older boy‘s family name, so when he saw John‘s papers, he was surprised.

"How old are you?" he said.

"Eighteen, sir," said John.

"But your brother was eighteen, too," said the doctor. "Are you twins?"

"Oh, no, sir," said John, and his face went red. "My brother is five months older than I am."

大五個月

第二次世界大戰(zhàn)開始了，約翰想?yún)④?，可他只有十六歲，當(dāng)時規(guī)定男孩到十八歲才能入伍。所以軍醫(yī)給他進(jìn)行體檢時，他說他已經(jīng)十八歲了。

可約翰的哥哥剛?cè)胛闆]幾天，而且也是這個軍醫(yī)給他做的檢查。這位醫(yī)生還記得他哥哥的姓。所以當(dāng)他看到約翰的表格時，感到非常驚奇。

“你多大了?”軍醫(yī)問。

“十八，長官?！奔s翰說。

“可你的哥哥也是十八歲，你們是雙胞胎嗎?”

約翰臉紅了，說：“哦，不是，長官，我哥哥比我大五個月?！?/p>
