编者按：很多同学都说学英文很枯燥，学英文很痛苦，但是其实，如果你放松心情，忘记英语是你的成绩衡量器，你便很快能从英语中，感受到另一个世界的美妙，看到更广阔的天空，来吧！跟小编一起，读读这篇《男孩和露珠》。
　　One morning， a little boy squatted still on the grass in the garden for a long time.
　　His mother felt so strange that she walked close to see what had happened. The boy，in earnest，squatted in front of a blade of grass，on which a round dew in the sun gave a colorful light，very beautiful. The small boy reached out his hands under the grass silently as he watched the dew.
　　Seeing his mother walking over to him，the boy said sadly，“Mom，the dew’s dying.”
　　The mother said to her son with a smile，“Even if you put your hands under the grass，you cannot stop the dew disappearing from this world.”
　　T h e b o y s a i d，“Mother，I’m only thinking not to throw it in pain when it falls.”
　　一天早上，一个小男孩蹲在花园的草地上，久久不动。
　　母亲觉得蹊跷，便凑上前看个究竟。只见男孩非常认真地蹲在一片茎草叶面前。草叶上，一颗圆圆的露珠，在太阳的照射下，正闪耀着七彩的光芒，格外美丽。小男孩一边观察着这滴露珠，一边把双手摊开，静候在草叶下。
　　看到妈妈走过来，男孩忧伤地说：“妈妈，露珠快要死掉了。”
　　母亲微笑着对儿子说：“你就算把双手放在草叶下面，还是阻止不了露珠从这个世界上消失的命运啊。”
　　男孩说：“妈妈，我只是在想，它落下来时，别摔疼了。”
