　　英语故事会出现学生认识或是不认识的单词，而这个单词的重复不断出现，会加深同学们对单词的记忆。这种记忆不是死记硬背，而是在潜移默化中，让学生记住。这次小编给大家整理了英语幽默小故事，供大家阅读参考。

　　英语幽默小故事1

　　Don't Pick Up the Money on the Ground

　　An economist professor and a student are walking down the street when they see a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk in front of them. The student goes to pick up the money but his professor stops him and tells him not to bother.

　　Why not?

　　If it were a real twenty-dollar bill, someone would have picked it up  already. 

　　Everything that can be invented has been invented.

　　别捡地上的钱

　　一位经济学教授和一名学生正在大街上行走，这时他们看到前面的人行道上躺着一张20美元面值的钞票。学生走过去准备捡，教授制止了他，告诉他别自寻烦恼。

　　“为什么不捡?”

　　“假如那是一张真20美元钞票的话，早就有人捡走了。”

　　“该发明的都已经被发明出来了。”

　　The Less You Know, the More Money You Make

　　Theorem: Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives.

　　Now a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

　　Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

　　Postulate 2: Time is Money.

　　As every engineer knows, Power=Work/Time. Since Knowledge=Power, and Time=Money, we have

　　Knowledge=Work/Money. Solving for Money, we get: Money=Work/Knowledge.

　　Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.

　　Conclusion: The less you know, the more money you make.

　　知识越少挣钱越多

　　定理：工程师和科学家永远应当比经济专家挣钱少。

　　下面是对该定理的一个严格的数学证明：

　　假设一：知识就是力量(Power)。

　　假设二：时间就是金钱。

　　每个工程师都知道：功率(Power)= 。既然知识=力量，时间=金钱，我们有：知识= 。求解金钱表达式，我们得到：金钱= 。

　　因此，当知识趋于零时，无论你做了多少功，金钱趋于无穷大。

　　结论：知识越少，你挣得的金钱就越多。

　　They Should Be Playing at Night

　　A therapist, a priest and an economist go golfing. The group ahead of them is extremely slow, leading to  some frustration among the three.

The therapist says, "I've been trained my whole life to help others and here I am complaining about the blind, shame on  me!" The economist says, "Oh no! They should be playing at night."

　　他们本该在晚上打球

　　神父、心理学家和经济学家三人结伴打高尔夫。前面的一组打球进度极其缓慢，这让三人大为恼火。他们开始抱怨，前面那组中的一人听到抱怨声后朝他们走了过来。他自我介绍说是前面那组球手们的助手，因为那组球手都是盲人。助手感谢他们三位耐心等待。神父听后忙说：“哦，不会吧?我一辈子都在祈祷同胞们过上更美好的生活，而我却在这里抱怨这些盲人!”心理学家也赶紧说：“我一生的信条是帮助别人，可是我却在这里抱怨这些盲人，我真惭愧!”这时只听经济学家说：“哦，别这样!他们本该在晚上打球的。”

　　Even My Driver Can Answer that Question

　　A famous game theorist, having won the Clark prize, was set to give a series of lectures at prestigious universities throughout the northeast. For the task, he hired a car and driver to take him from place to place . With nothing else to do, the driver would sit in on  the highly technical lectures. After several lectures, the driver commented to the economist, "You know, I've heard your lecture so much that I think I could deliver it myself." The economist found this idea intriguing and decided to switch places with him at his next lecture.

　　The driver gave the talk flawlessly. However, after the lecture, some one in the audience asked him a rather technical question that the driver had no idea how to even begin to answer. The driver considered it for a moment, and then replied, "That question is so easy, even my driver can answer it."

　　甚至我的司机都能回答那个问题

　　一位著名的博弈论专家一获得克拉克奖便开始在东北部各个知名大学展开一系列讲座。为了完成这项任务，他租了一辆车并雇了一名司机载着他到处赶场。没有别的事可做的司机就坐在课堂里听专家那科技含量颇高的讲座。几场讲座下来，司机对这位经济学家说：“我听了这么多次你的讲座，我觉得我自己也能讲了。”经济学家觉得这个想法很有趣，于是决定下次作讲座时他们两个互换位置。

　　司机完美无瑕地完成了演讲。可是当讲座结束后，听众中有人问了他一个技术含量相当高的问题，他不知如何开口回答。司机沉思了一会，回答道：“这个问题太简单了，连我的司机都能回答。”
