As any voodoo artist will tell you, if you want to grind someone into powder, you don't need to touch him at all. It's quite enough to stamp on a missing molar and let "contagious magic" do the rest. This is why peoples all over the world traditionally hide lost body parts, lest they fall into the wrong hands.远古时期的人们认为毛发、剪下的指甲和脱落的牙齿即使离开了人的身体,仍与其主人保持着神秘的联系;正如任何一个伏都教大师都会告诉你的,假如你想置某人于死地,根本用不着去碰他,只需用脚踩碎那人脱落的一颗臼齿就够了,剩下的事就交给“无边的法力”去办;这就是为什么全世界各个民族都习惯于把身体上脱落的东西藏起来,以免落入恶人之手; American children's ritual of hiding lost teeth under their pillows probably derives distantly from this practice. But there is an obvious difference, for when Suzie conceals her baby milk-tooth, she fully expects it to be found, and by a good magician, not an evil one. Moreover, she expects to be paid for having surrendered it, and at the going rate. Nothing mare clearly suggests the blithe commercial gusto of our culture than this transformation of a fearful superstition into a cheery business transaction.美国儿童把脱落的牙齿藏到枕头下的习惯做法很可能与这个习俗稍有联系;但两者又有明显的差别,因为当小苏珊把她的乳牙藏起来时,她其实满心希望有个善良的,而不是邪恶的巫师能发现她的牙齿;而且由于交出了牙齿,她还希望按现行价格得到报偿;我们把可怕的迷信变成了愉快的商业交易,没有什么比这更明白地表明我们文化中的令人愉快的商业热情; Because American children expect fair exchange for their lost teeth, it is likely that the tooth fairy ritual derives more immediately from the European, andparticularly German, tradition of placing a lost tooth in a mouse or a rat hole. The folk belief governing this practice is that when a new tooth grows in, it will possess the dental qualities, not of the original, lost tooth, but of whatever creature finds it, so the creatures of choice would be those world-class champers, the rodents.因为美国孩子希望用他们脱落的牙齿作公平交易,所以牙齿仙女的习俗可能更直接渊源于欧洲风俗,尤其是德国风俗中把脱落的牙齿放在老鼠洞里的传统做法;这种习俗依据的民间观念认为,新牙长出来时不具有原先脱落的牙齿的特质,哪种动物发现了掉下来的牙,新牙就具有那种动物的牙的特质;因此,要选那些世界一流的擅长啃咬的动物,那些啮齿目动物;Thus the optimistic, "fair exchange" principle most likely started in Germany and was brought here by German immigrants. It was only left to America to replace the beneficent “tooth rat” with the more agreeable fairy and to replace the traditional hope of hard molars with our more characteristic hope of hard cash. 因此,这种乐观的“公平交易”原则很可能发源于德国,并由德国移民带到了这里;美国人只是把好心的“牙齿老鼠”换成了更可亲的仙女,而传统上人们希望长出坚固的牙齿,到我们这儿却变成了希望拿到现金,这就更具有我们的特色;16/22英语故事：小马过河How a Colt Crossed the RiverOne day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.

His mother said, “My child,don’t always listen to others. You’d better go and try yourself. Then you’llknow what to do.”小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈;妈妈说：“孩子,光听别人说是不行的,你自己亲自去试一试,就知道答案了;”Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Littlehorse, it’s too dangerous”“No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt.

他立刻呼呼地猛飞过去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。

这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。

他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。

于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。

他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。

这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。

3、The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。

有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西，单独落在后面。

牧羊人拿起一块石头扔了过去，正巧打断了山羊的一只角。

牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人，山羊说：“即使我不说，又怎能隐瞒下去呢？我的角已断了，这是十分明显的事实。

”这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。

4、The Miser守财奴A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。

他每天走去看看他的宝藏。

有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。

守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。

有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后，说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。

去拿一块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。

这样与你拥有真正的金块效果没什么不同。

依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。

”这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。

狼与小羊WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him："Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well. " "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。

于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。

小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。

狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。

”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。

狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过你。

”这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。

蝙蝠与黄鼠狼A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。
