1999年的某天深夜，我驾驶着10轮平板大卡车行驶在漫长、笔直的27号高速公路上，已经穿过了佛罗里达的狭长地带。运送我上车拖货，晚上时间是再好不过的了。装在长长的平板上的是250个蜂箱，里面挤满了蜜蜂。

我从14岁开始就从事养蜂工作，当时父亲从邻居家带了些蜂箱回来。养蜂对我来说即是一种职业也是一种爱好，而且它还有另外意义。在我眼里，不起眼的蜜蜂是上帝赋予我们地球最神奇的一种动物。从导航到给无数水果和鲜花授粉，蜜蜂的世界充满了神秘。我喜欢和它们打交道，它们给我带来了无穷的乐趣。

那天深夜，公路上特别空寂。如果一切正常，我将在清晨卸下这批蜜蜂，回家与妻子达伦和我们的小儿子朱斯丁共度假日。我低头看了一眼路面情况，只见一辆汽车迎面驶来。它突然驶进了我的车道，我竭力避免与之相撞，脚猛踩下刹车，并朝右方迅速打方向盘。

800万只毒蜂向我袭来

我的卡车来了个空翻，车顶撞了个粉碎，挡风玻璃爆裂开了，路面腾起的灰尘从玻璃的裂缝吹了进来。卡车终于停住时，我已经头朝下，身体被卡在座位上，周围是压扁的驾驶舱，将我封闭在了里面。车顶距我的脸只有几英寸，撞击将我的一条腿紧紧地夹住，方向盘死死地抵住我的胸腔。我能活动双臂，但于事无补。

我的脸因挡风玻璃碎片的擦刮出血不止，我的双臂也被划破了，到处都是血。我在漆黑一团的黑暗中无法看见一切，可我能感觉到黏糊糊的混合着泥土的气味。还有其他什么东西和血液混在一起，肮脏且滑腻腻的。是柴油，我心想。油箱肯定漏了！一个小小的火星便能让眼前的一切吞没进火海中，而我的身上浸满了柴油！我屏住呼吸聆听脚步声或者汽车驶近的鸣笛声----任何能显示援救正在到来的声音。不幸的是，我听见了另一种声音：一种尖锐的嗡嗡声。

篇二：有哲理的英文小故事——没有左手的人

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one girl who decided to study judo[柔道] despite the fact that she had lost her left arm in a car accident.

有的时候，你的软弱之处反而拥有强大的力量。比如我们下面要讲的这个故事：一位在车祸中丧失了左臂的小女孩，决定去学习柔道。

The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.

小女孩向一位年长的日本老师学校柔道。小女孩学习进展不错，而三个月过去了，老师却只是重复的教授她一个动作，这使得她很迷惑不解。

"Instructor," the girl finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

“老师，”女孩终于忍不住问，“能不能再多教我一些动作？”

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the instructor replied.

老师回答说：“你只要把这个动作学好就可以了。”

Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.

尽管女孩并不明白老师的用意，不过她相信老师的话，继续努力练习

Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament[比赛]. Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl deftly[巧妙的] used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.

几个月过去了，老师决定带她去参加一次竞赛。令女孩惊讶的是，她轻松地击败了头两个对手。第三个对手虽然比较强悍，但一番苦战后，对手就开始心浮气躁。女孩巧妙的使用她唯一的一招赢得了比赛。女孩自己虽感到不可思议，但她却一步步进入的决赛。

This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee[裁判] called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened.

这一次，她的对手更高大强壮，而且经验丰富。女孩在一些时候甚至显露出败相，由于害怕女孩受伤，裁判宣布暂停比赛。正当她准备下场时，教练却制止了她。

"No," the instructor insisted, "Let her continue."

“让她继续比赛。”教练坚持道。

Soon after the match resumed, her opponent made a critical mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.

比赛恢复后，她的对手犯了一个严重的错误：她放松了自己的防卫。女孩立即用她那一招钉死了对手。女孩终于赢得了这场比赛，也成为了这次竞赛的冠军。

On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl summoned the courage to ask what was really on her mind.

回家的路上，女孩和老师回顾了比赛的每个环节，女孩鼓起勇气问老师一个困惑已久的问题。

"Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"

“教练，为什么我用一个招式就赢得了这场比赛？”

"You won for two reasons," the teacher answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

老师回答她说：“有两个原因：一、我教你的招式是柔道中最难的一个动作，而你把它掌握的很精通；二、对手想要破解这个招式只有一个动作，就是抓住你的左手。”

The girl's biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.

这个女孩最软弱的地方，竟然成了她致胜的关键所在。

我们每个人都有软弱的地方，但上天总在我们的软弱上，给我们以意想不到的力量。只要善于利用命运给我们的一切，我们也能像这个女孩一般，在自己的软弱上，得到上天的另一种祝福。

英语短文哲理小故事

----上帝的咖啡

God's Coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us." God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."Live simply.Love generously.Care deeply.Speak kindly.Leave the rest to God.

Things Aren’t Always What They Seem

Two traveling angles stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angles stay in the mansion’s guestroom. Instead the angles were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed in the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angle asked why, the older angle replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angles found the farmer and his in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angle was infuriated and asked the older angle how he could have let this happen. “The first man had everything, yet you helped him,” he accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow lie”.

“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angle replied. “when we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it.”

“Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angle of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.
