中英文小故事：多坚持一小会 “斧头虽小，但多劈几次，就能将坚硬的树木伐倒！”阿拉斯加的金矿大王接受记者访问时说。 “请问你致富的秘诀是什么？”记者问。“我想，是一种运气吧！”约翰逊回答。 “运气？”记者疑惑着 约翰逊微笑着说：“记得当时，我无意间在荒废的矿区发现了一把生锈的十字镐。我只是用力把十字镐摇动了几下，然后拔起，没想到十字镐下有许多金矿，因此发现了矿床。假如那个十字镐的主人能再稍微坚持一下，摇动一下十字镐，如今的金矿大王说不定就是这个人了。” Hold on a Bit Longer “The axe is small, but more hacks will enable it to hew down the solid trees,” the Alaska king of gold mine told the reporter. “May I ask you what your secret of becoming rich is?” the reporter asked. “I think it’s a kind of luck!" answered Johnson. “Luck?” the reporter doubted. Johnson said with a smile, “I remember, at that time, I unconsciously found a rusty pickaxe in the earth of the ruined diggings. I just shook the pickaxe for some times and then plucked it out. I did not expect that there were a lot of gold mine below the pickaxe and therefore discovered the ore deposit. If the owner of that pickaxe could hold on a bit longer and shake the pickaxe, this man may be the king of gold mine today." pluck 拔；拉 deposit 矿藏；矿床 |
