双手 hands 中英文小故事：宝贵的双手 在一片无垠的大草原上，住着一个名叫盖南的牧马人。他有一个非常美丽的女儿，名为梅弗尔克。梅弗尔克的美丽吸引了方圆几百里的年轻小伙子，慕名前来求婚。 盖南问女儿：“孩子，告诉父亲，你心目中的丈夫是个怎样的人呢？” 女儿回答说：“我心目中的丈夫是个既贫穷又富有的人。” “这怎么可能呢？”盖南很为难，“贫穷和富有是相对的啊！” “不，”女儿坚决地说，“贫穷的人也有宝贵的财富，爸！” 父亲只好差伙计们发出招婿的通告。 一日，许多有心的求婚男子云集在盖南居住的帐篷外面。 梅弗尔克随父亲走出帐篷，在座垫上坐了下来。盖南对大家说： “好，有心来比试的人士，请上前来说说自己的条件吧！” 几个衣着华丽的小伙子首先走上前来，他们的仆人牵着满载礼品的胳驼跟在后面。 “我们都是财主。我们拥有金山银山、丝绸、羊毛和红毡。我们当中有谁合你的心意，请指点吧，小姐。” 梅弗尔克只报以微笑。 接着，三个年轻武士走上前来，在他们的身后，是整齐的士兵队列。 “我们不是财主，但我们是世上最勇猛的人，我们可以夺取一切，包括土地、财产和房屋。若有幸成为小姐的丈夫，就让做丈夫的保护你一生吧！”梅弗尔克只是微笑。 片刻，五位手捧金盒子的小伙子走上前来。“金盒子里装着稀世珍品。小姐，当你收下我们的宝物，你就是最富有的人，而我们就变成了最贫穷的人。请选择我们其中一个成为你的丈夫吧！” “你们不是我心目中的丈夫。”梅弗尔克失望地说。 小伙子们个个使尽法宝，为的是让梅弗尔克满意。盖南见女儿总是在拒绝，心里有点焦虑。 这时，有个衣着朴素的青年走上前来。 盖南说：“一看上去就知你很穷。那么，你有什么宝物要献给我的女儿吗？” “我的财产一向随身携带。”青年愉快地说，“你们看，这是一根闪亮的银针啊！” “啊！它的确很闪亮！”梅弗尔克秀丽的脸庞像一朵绽开的花朵。 青年边说边从口袋里掏出一把铁锤：“我是一个裁缝师，我能为大家做合身的长袍，我也是一个木匠，我能在一小时内，给你们钉制一套桌椅，再不然，给你们搭个帐篷。” “我还会烹饪。”青年继续说，“我能煮出最美味的饭菜。我既没有什么财产，也没有军队，更没有什么稀世珍宝。但我的一双手却是我一生用之不尽的财富！” “太好了！”梅弗尔克忍不住高声喊道，“你比任何人都富有！因为你有一双宝贵的能手，你正是我所期待的人！” 梅弗尔克没有嫁给财主，没有嫁给武士，更没有嫁给拥有稀世珍宝的人，而是嫁给一个勤劳、善良的能工巧匠。 Ftecious Hands There was once a shepherd who had a daughter whose great beauty attracted a lot of young men from all over the country. One day, the shepherd asked his daughter，“My dear daughter, tell me, what kind of man do you want to be your husband?” His daughter replied, “My dear father, my future husband can be poor but also a wealthy man.” “How could that be, poor and rich are two opposite things!” said her father. “Dear father, a poor person also has his wealth,” said his daughter. The shepherd then announced that his daughter was ready for marriage. One day, there were many eligible men gathered outside the shepherd’s home. He came out and said, “All right, gentlemen, those who think they are eligible, please come forward and tell me your qualifications!” A few well-dressed gentlemen came forward followed by their servants and camel loads of gifts carried by camels. “We are rich men, we have gold and silver mines, silk, fur and red carpets. Please choose one of us.” The shepherd’s daughter just smiled. Then came three generals, accompanied by some soldiers. “We are not rich men but we are tough and we will protect you for life.” Again the lady just smiled. Then came five young men with some jewellery boxes.4These golden boxes contain rare jewellery. You will be the most wealthy person if you choose one of us to be your husband.” “All of you are not my idea of an ideal husband，said the disappointed lady. One by one young men came forward but they were rejected by her. The shepherd began to worry. Suddenly, a plainly dressed young man appeared. The shepherd asked, “Young man, you look so poor. What can you offer my daughter?” “My wealth is always with me. Please have a look -a silver needle.” “Wow!” the shepherd’s daughter exclaimed. “That is beautiful!” Then the young man said, “I am a good tailor. I am also a good carpenter. I can make tables and chairs within an hour. Moreover, I can also put up a tent for you all!” The lady smiled. The young man continued, “I can cook too. I can cook delicious meals. However, I do not have any property, servants or jewellery. But, with my pair of hands, I do have a whole life of wealth!” “That is great!” shouted the shepherd’s daughter excitedly. “You are more wealthy than any of them because you have a pair of precious hands. You are my idea of an ideal husband.” 中英文例句 1. To bathe my hands and face in. 沐浴着我的脸和手。 2.
