No one buys it, so he begins to shout in order to canvass the customer. He says that this idol can bring in wealth and good luck. One man says to the seller, "Hello, My friend, if this is so, you should have the advantages that the idol can bring, why do you want to sell it?" The seller says, "What I want is that I can get cash in at once. The profit from the idol is so slow." This story means: God will never respect people who make a profit by hook or crook. 有人 雕刻 了一个赫尔墨斯的木像，拿到市场上去卖。因为没有一个买主上前购买，他便大声叫喊，想招揽生意。 他说有赐福招财的神出售。这时旁边有一个人对他说道：“喂，朋友，既然这样，你自己应该享受他的好处哇，为什么还要卖掉他呢?”他回答说：“我要的是现在马上可以兑现的利益，这个神的利益却来得很慢哪。” 这故事正是说那种不择手段地求利，连神也不尊敬的人。 初中经典英语故事：功亏一篑 Once a man planned to build a terrace. He worked very hard and spent a lot of time digging and carrying earth. When the mound was almost completed and only one more basket of earth was needed, the man gave up. The terrace was never completed. This idiom means to fail to succeed for lack of final effort. 古时，有一个人要筑一座九仞(八尺=一仞)高的山。 他十分努力的建造这座山，并且花了很多时间挖土、搬运泥土。 终于当山快要建成的时候，几乎只差最后一篮子的泥土就行了的时候，他放弃了。 这座山便永远无法完工。 这个 典故 用以形容“离成功只有一步之遥，但最终失败告终”的意思。 初中经典英语故事：The Blind Man and the Little Animal A blind man is good at touching all the things. No matter whatever the thing is he can distinguish it as soon as he touches it A man brings a young wolf and lets him touch it. Having touched the animal, he says, "This is a fox or a wolf, I am not sure. But I know that putting this kind of animal into the sheep pen is not safe" The story means: we can know someone's bad habits from when he is young. 一个瞎子精于用手触摸各种动物。 什么动物只要他一摸，就能分辨出来。 有人带来一只小狼，请他摸一摸，说出是什么东西。 他摸了摸这个小野兽后说：“这是一只狐狸或者一匹狼，啊，我不太清楚。不过有一点我却十分地明白，让这种动物进羊栏是不安全的。” 这个故事是说一个人的恶习在年幼时便可得知。

Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.
We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.
我们许多人总是毫无目的地度过星期日。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得什么。这确实是一个很大的遗憾。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们必须好好利用它。
我们知道我们学校做的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。这样，我们的知识就会增加。此外，我们必须多做运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。
Teachers’ Day comes on September 10th every year. On the day we usually give our teachers cards to show our thanks. I thank them for helping me when I am in trouble, and I thank them for teaching me how to be a real man.
Of course they are very friendly to everyone. They always get on very well with their students. They are not only our teachers but also our friends. They love us very much and we love them,too.
每年的九月十日是教师节。在这个日子里，我们通常送老师卡片来表示我们对老师的谢意。感谢他们在我困难的时候帮助我，感谢他们教会我如何成为一个真正的男人。
当然，老师们对每个人都很友好。他们与我们相处得很好。他们不仅是我们的老师也是我们的朋友。他们非常爱我们，我们也爱他们。
Today, i went to my old house. i lived in it two years ago. when i am at school, i often think of my old house because it made me happy in the past. my old house is very tidy but old. it has only one level and there are just two rooms in it. i slept with my mother and my father ever evening.
my old house is between two high houses, so it looks very small but lovely. when i lived in my old house, i often played with my sister at the weekends. but now i can’t, so i feel a little sad. two years ago, i could share my feelings with my parents too, but they were separate at last.
so my old house is my favourite place. if i have some trouble, i think of it and my parents, i’ll always get lots of energy. i will then forget the trouble soon. do you think my old house is a wonderful place? yes, it’s my great “palace.”
今天,我去了我的老房子。两年前我住在这里。当我在学校的时候,我经常想起我的老房子,因为它让我过去很快乐。我的老房子很整洁,虽然很旧。它只有一层,只有两个房间。曾经的夜晚我和我的母亲,我的父亲睡在那里。
我的老房子是在两个高房子之间,所以它看起来很小,但是可爱。当我住在我的旧房子,在周末我经常和我的姐姐玩。但是现在我不能,所以我感到有点难过。两年前,我与我的父母分享了我的感情,但是最后他们还是分开了。
所以我的老房子是我最喜欢的地方。如果我有一些麻烦,我会想起它和我的父母,我总是会收到很多的能量。很快我就会忘记了。你觉得我的老房子是一个美妙的地方吗?是的,这是我最好的“宫殿”。
