三

She kindled a third match. Again shot up the flame

；

and now she was sitting under a most

beautiful Christmas tree ,far larger, and far more prettily decked out, than the one she had seen

last Christmas eve through the glass doors of the rich merchant's house. Hundreds of wax-tapers

lighted

up

the

green

branches,

and

tiny

painted

figures,

such

as

she

had

seen

in

the

shop- windows, looked down from the tree upon her. The child stretched out her hands towards

them in delight, and in that moment the lights of the match warm quenched

；

still, however, the

Christmas candles burned higher and higher

，

she beheld them beaming like stars in heaven

；

one of them fell, the lights streaming behind it like a long, fiery tail.

“

Now

some

one

is

dying,

”

said

the

little

girl,

softly,

for

she

had

been

told

by

her

old

grandmother

，

the

only

person who

had ever

been

kind

to

her,

and who was

now

dead

that

whenever a star falls an immortal spirit returns to the God who gave it.

She struck yet another match against the wall

；

it flamed up, and surrounded by its light,

appeared before her that same dear grandmother, gentle and loving as always, but bright and

happy as she had never looked during her lifetime.

她擦着了第三根火柴，

又冒出了火焰 。

现在她觉得正坐在非常美丽的圣诞树下面，

比上

次圣诞节透过那富商家的玻璃门看到的那株还要大、

还要美。

这株树的绿枝上点燃着许许多

多的蜡烛，

颜色瑰丽的图 画，就象橱窗里挂着的那些一样漂亮，仿佛在向她眨眼。

小姑娘把

两只手伸过去，

火柴又熄灭了。

然而圣诞树上的烛光越升越高 。

她看到它们变成了明亮的星

星，有一颗落下来，在天上划出一 道长长的火丝。

“现在又有一个什么人死了。

”小姑娘说。因为她的老祖母——一个唯一待她好 的人，

现在已经死了，

曾经告诉过她，

天上落下一颗星，

地上就有一个灵魂回到曾赋于他生命的上

帝那 里去。

她在墙上又擦了一根火柴，

火光把四周照亮了。

在亮光里，

亲爱的和生前一样的祖母出

现了。她依然是那么的慈爱和温和，然而 那快活和幸福的样子却是她生前从未有过的

英语故事演讲稿

But the teacher cried

The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled . His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him.

He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum.

Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.

When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.

可是老师哭了

六岁的约翰娇生惯养。

他的父亲知道 这一点，

可他的祖父母仍然宠着他。

这孩子几乎寸

步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。

约翰放学了，他奶奶在门口 接他并问道：

“学校怎么样？你过的好吗？哭了没有？”

“哭？”约翰问，

“不，我没哭，可老师哭了。

”
