7、饰这样一个事实：其钻石之大给我留下了深入的印象。有的钻石像玻璃球那么大。那人竭力想证实那钻石是真货。我们路过一家商店时，他将一颗钻石使劲地往橱窗上一按，在玻璃上留下一道深痕。我花了半个多小时才摆脱了他的纠缠。向我兜售的第二个人是卖珍贵钢笔和手表的。我仔细观察了一枝钢笔，那看上去确实不假，金笔帽下方整洁地刻有美国制造字样。那人讲那支笔值50英镑，作为十分优惠，他愿意让我出30英镑成交。我摇摇头，伸出5根手指表示我只愿出5镑钱。那人冲动地打着手势，仿佛我的出价使他不能容忍。但他终于把价钱降到了10英镑。我耸耸肩膀掉头走开了。一会儿，他忽然从后追了上来，把笔塞到我手里。固然他绝望地举起双手，但他毫不

8、迟疑地收下了我付给他的5镑钱。在回到船上之前，我一直为我的绝妙的讨价还价而洋洋得意。然而不管我怎样摆弄，那枝漂亮的钢笔就是吸不进墨水来。直到今天，那枝笔连一个字也没写过!初中英语浏览短文篇二Whetherwefindajokefunnyornotlargelydependsonwherewehavebeenbroughtup.Thesenseofhumourismysteriouslyboundupwithnationalcharacteristics.AFrenchman,forinstance,mightfindithardtolaughataRussianjoke.Inthesamewa

14、的笑话，俄国人听了可能觉得没有什么可笑之处。大部分令人发笑的故事都是根据喜剧情节编写的。尽管民族不同，有些滑稽的情节却能产生普遍的效果。比方讲，不管你生活在哪里，你看查理.卓别林的早期电影很难不发笑。然而，近来一种新式诙谐流行了起来，这种诙谐主要来自美国。它被叫作病态诙谐。喜剧演员根据悲剧情节诸如暴死，重大事故等来编造笑话。很多人以为这种笑话是低级庸俗的。下面是个病态诙谐的实例，你可据此本人作出判定。圣诞节前几周，某人摔断了右腿被送进医院。从他进医院那一刻时，他就缠住医生，让医生告诉他什么时候能回家。他特别害怕在医院过圣诞。尽管医生竭力医治，但病人恢复缓慢。圣诞节那天，他的右腿还上着石膏，他在

15、床上郁郁不乐地躺了一天，想着他错过的种种欢乐。然而，第二天，医生安慰他讲，出院欢度新年的可能性还是很大的，那人听后振作了精神。果然，除夕时他能够一瘸一拐地去参加晚会了。为了补偿住院这一段不愉快的经历，那人喝得稍很多了一点。在晚会上他尽情娱乐，一再告诉大家他是多么讨厌医院。晚会结束时，他嘴里还在嘟哝着医院的事，忽然踩到一块冰上滑倒了，摔断了左腿。初中英语浏览短文篇三ForyearsvillagersbelievedthatEndleyfarmwashaunted.Thefarmwasownedbytwobrothers,JoeandBertCox.Theyemployedafewfarmhand

21、故事。雇工们讲，经常一早起来发现有人在夜里把活干了，干草已切好，牛棚也清扫干净了。有一个彻夜未眠的雇工还声称他看见一个人影在月光下收割庄稼。随着时间的流逝，考科斯兄弟雇了一个尽心尽责的鬼，他们家的活大部分都让鬼给干了，这件事成了公认的事实。谁也没想到农场竟会有一个从未露面的人。但事实上确有此人。不久之前，村民们惊悉恩得利农场的鬼死了。大家都去参加了葬礼，由于那鬼不是别人，正是农场主的兄弟埃里克.考科斯。人们以为埃里克年轻时就死了。葬礼之后，乔和鲍勃透露了他们保守了长达50多年的机密。埃里克是这家长子。年龄比他两个弟弟大很多，第二次世界大战期间被迫参军。他讨厌军旅生活，决定逃离所在部队。当他了解本人将被派遣出国时，他逃回农场，父亲把他藏了起来，直到战争结束。由于害怕当局，埃里克战后继续深藏不露。他的父亲告诉大家，埃里克在战争中被打死了。除此之外，只要乔与鲍知道这个机密。但他俩连本人的妻子都没告诉。父亲死后，他们兄弟俩以为有责任继续把埃里克藏起来。这些年来，埃里克过着隐士生活，白天睡觉，夜里出来干活，一点不知道本人已成了恩得利家场的活鬼。他死后，他的弟弟们才觉得无法再保守这个机密了。猜你喜欢：1.初一英语短文浏览2.关于初中英语短文带翻译3.初中英语小短文加翻译4.关于英语美文加中文浏览5.英语经典美文加翻译浏览
