自信self confidence[英][self ˈkɔnfidəns] [美][sɛlf ˈkɑnfɪdəns] 中英文小故事:自信的蝴蝶结 有一天,她去商店买了一个绿色蝴蝶结,店主不断赞美她戴上蝴蝶结漂亮。尽管不信, 但詹妮还是非常开心,不由地扬起了头。 詹妮进教室时,迎面碰上了老师。 “詹妮,你扬起头来真美! ”老师爱抚地拍了拍她的肩说。 那天,她得到了许多人的赞美。她想一定是蝴蝶结的功劳。但是,她照镜子一看,发现头上根本没有蝴蝶结,一定是走出商店时与人一碰弄丢了。 自信是一种美,但许多人因太在意外表而失去了许多快乐。无论穷富,无论美丑,只要你扬起头,你就是可爱的。 A Bow of Self-confidence Jenny was a little girl who always lowered her head because she didn’t think she was beautiful enough all the time. One day she went to a shop to buy a green bow. The shopkeeper constantly praised she looked very beautiful with it. Though she didn't believe that, Jenny was so happy that she couldn’t help raising her head. Jenny happened to meet her teacher when she went into the classroom. “Jenny, it,s really beautiful when you raise your head,” said the teacher, patting her shoulder caressingly. That day Jenny got the praise from many people. She thought it must be due to the bow. But when she looked in the mirror, there wasn’t any bow on her head. She must have lost it when she went out of the shop and bumped against someone else. Self-confidence is a kind of beauty, but many people care so much about their appearance that they lose a lot of joy. Poor or rich, fairy or plain, as long as you raise your head, it can make you lovely. caressingly 爱抚地;亲切地 bump 碰撞 |
