小學(xué)英語(yǔ)閱讀之第十四篇

　　A scholar who used to live in a cold region took a trip to a place of tropical weather. He stayed in the house all day because it was too hot to go out. "Phew. It is so hot. I can't even go outside."

　　At night, peo came out from their houses to get fresh air. The scholar also went out of his house and looked around here and there. "There are a lot of peo here. Now I feel better. But how come the house across the street is so quiet?"

　　"Music flows from the house, and such beautiful flowers are in the house. There must be a pretty woman living in that house. "Then, one evening.

　　"That house is quiet again. The only thing that moves in the house is my shadow." The scholar acted as if he was talking to his own shadow.

　　Suddenly, his shadow on the house went into the inside the house. The scholar was shocked. Then, the next day. "How can I lose my own shadow? Peo will laugh at me. Phew. What am I going to do? I feel awful. What am I going to do now?" In a tropical region, everything grew really fast. Fortunately, the scholar's shadow grew a lot in a week.

　　Then, one evening. Someone visited the scholar. "Who is it? Please come in." A well-dressed gentleman came into his house. "Excuse me, but have we meet before?" The gentleman answered. "Don't you recognize me? Well, I guess you've never imagined that I would show up in front of you with this kind of look. I have been enjoying my own life very much since I left you." "Then, you must be." "That's right! I am your shadow." "How amazing! How can this happen? And how are you doing?" "I will tell you everything. But promise me one thing before I tell my story. Don't you ever tell anyone that I used to be your shadow." "I promise!"

　　"I went into the house across the street and met a Goddess. I learned a lot of things while I was staying there with her. Then, she allowed me to live my own life all by myself. Sometimes I gave severe punishments to bad peo. Peo always welcomed me wherever I was. They just loved me." "Really? That's amazing! How can this happen?" "I've to go now. See you next time." A few years later, the shadow visited the scholar again. The scholar was writing a book, but he was so sad because no one read his book. He felt tired of writing. "You look very exhausted." "No one can understand my book." "You have to take a rest. Let's go to a spa. I will pay for the trip for you. Instead, you should be my shadow." "Oh god! Do I really have to be your shadow?" After long thinking about the shadow's suggestion, the scholar decided to go on the trip and be a shadow.

　　There were lots of peo in the spa, and a princess was one of them. The princess saw the shadow and thought, "He is so nice. I want to go out with him."

　　She met the shadow. She liked him very much because he knew everything. The shadow pointed to the scholar and said, "He is my shadow. If you want to know about something, ase ask him." "You look so smart." The princess decided to get married to the shadow.

　　The shadow met the scholar and said, "I am going to marry the princess. You can come to the castle and live with us. But you have to be my shadow and have to live under my feet forever." "No, that doesn't make any sense. You are MY shadow."

　　The shadow put the scholar in prison, and then he told the princess. "My shadow is out of his mind. He kept insisting that I am his shadow. There seems to be no chance of his recovery. I will help him to disappear quietly." "Yes, you need to help him." The princess and the shadow finally got married. But the scholar died in prison.

　　影子

　　學(xué)者曾經(jīng)生活在一個(gè)寒冷地區(qū)去一個(gè)熱帶氣候的地方。他整天呆在家里,因?yàn)樗�太�?不想出去。“唷。它是如此熱。我甚至不能出去。”

　　在晚上,人們從他們的房子出來(lái)新鮮的空氣。學(xué)者也從他的房子,環(huán)顧四周。“這里有很多人。現(xiàn)在我感覺(jué)更好。但在街對(duì)面的房子是怎么這么安靜?”

　　“音樂(lè)流動(dòng)的房子,這些美麗的花朵。必須有一個(gè)漂亮的女人住在那個(gè)房子里。“然后,有一天晚上。

　　“這房子是安靜了。家里唯一移動(dòng)是我的影子。“學(xué)者表現(xiàn)得好像他跟自己的影子。

　　突然,他的影子在房子走進(jìn)屋里。學(xué)者驚呆了。然后,第二天。“我怎么能失去我自己的影子嗎?人們會(huì)嘲笑我。唷。我要做什么呢?我感覺(jué)很糟糕�，F(xiàn)在我要做什么呢?“在熱帶地區(qū),一切變得非常快。幸運(yùn)的是,學(xué)者的影子一周增長(zhǎng)了很多。

　　然后,有一天晚上。有人訪問(wèn)學(xué)者。“這是誰(shuí)?請(qǐng)進(jìn)。“一個(gè)衣冠楚楚的紳士走進(jìn)他的房子。“對(duì)不起,我們見(jiàn)面嗎?”紳士答道。“你不認(rèn)識(shí)我嗎?好吧,我猜你從來(lái)沒(méi)有想到我會(huì)出現(xiàn)在你面前的樣子。我一直很享受我自己的生活自從我離開(kāi)你。”“然后,你必須。”“沒(méi)錯(cuò)!我是你的影子。”“太令人驚訝了!這是怎樣發(fā)生的呢?和你好嗎?”“我將告訴你一切。但是答應(yīng)我一件事之前,我告訴我的故事。你不告訴任何人。

　　我走到街對(duì)面的房子里，遇見(jiàn)了一位女神。當(dāng)我和她在一起的時(shí)候，我學(xué)到了很多東西。然后，她讓我獨(dú)自一人過(guò)著自己的生活。有時(shí)我對(duì)壞人給予嚴(yán)厲的懲罰。無(wú)論我在哪里，人們總是歡迎我。他們只是愛(ài)我。”“真的嗎?那太神奇了!這是怎樣發(fā)生的呢?“我得走了。”下次再見(jiàn)。幾年后，陰影再次拜訪了這位學(xué)者。這位學(xué)者正在寫(xiě)一本書(shū)，但他很傷心，因?yàn)闆](méi)有人讀他的書(shū)。他對(duì)寫(xiě)作感到厭倦。“你看起來(lái)很疲憊。“沒(méi)人能理解我的書(shū)。”“你得休息一下。”我們?nèi)ヅ轀厝�吧。我將為你付旅費(fèi)。相反，你應(yīng)該是我的影子。”“哦,上帝!我真的必須是你的影子嗎?在考慮了影子的建議之后，這位學(xué)者決定繼續(xù)旅行，成為一個(gè)影子。
