看上去seem[英][si:m] [美][sim] 中英文小故事：事情并非像他们看上去那样 两个旅行中的天使决定在一个富人家里借宿一晚。富人一家非常粗鲁，不让她们在豪华的客厅里过夜，而把她们安排在冰冷的地下室里。当她们在硬地板上铺床的时候，年长的天使看见墙上有个洞，就把洞堵上了。 年轻的天使看见后问其原因，年长的天使回答：“事情并非像它们看上去那样。” 第二天晚上她们在一个穷农夫家里过夜，夫妇两个非常热情地招待她们。尽管没有多少食物，夫妇俩还是乐意同天使一起分享，饭后还让天使们睡他们的床，好好休息一晚，天亮的时候，天使发现农夫和妻子眼泪汪汪的。原来作为他们家唯一经济来源的一头奶牛死在了地里。 年轻的天使愤怒地责问年长的天使：“你怎么能让这种事发生！富人什么都有了，你还帮助他，这对穷人什么都没有而愿意和我们分享一切，你却眼看他们的牛死去而不管。” “事情并不像你看到的那样，”年长的天使回答道，“在富人的地下室的时候，我发现破洞里藏有金子，因为富人贪婪而自私，我把洞堵上了不让他发现财宝。昨天晚上我们在农夫的家里过夜的时候，死亡天使曾来找他的妻子索命，我让他用奶牛来代替。所以，事情并非像它们看上去那样。” 还是相信凡事都有好的一面。随着时间的推移，你终将会认识到这一点。 Things Aren’t Always What They Seem Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why，the older angel .replied，“Things aren’t always what they seem. ” The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable farmer and his wife. They would like to share food with the angels，though they did not have much. Then they let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow，whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel，“How could you have let this happen! The first man had everything，yet you helped him. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let their cow die. ” “Things aren’t always what they seem，” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I told him to take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem. ” Just trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not realize it until much later. 中英文例句 1.
