❶ 英語諺語故事
Plug one's ears while stealing a bell（掩耳盜鈴）完整的英語，後面有中文意思：）~
In the Spring and Autumn period, a thief had stolen a bell and intended to carry it away on his back, but the bell was too bulky and heavy to be carried, so he tried to break it into pieces with a hammer to make it easier for carrying. On his first hit, however, the bell made a loud noise. He thus feared that the ringing sound might be heard by someone, who would come to rob him of his bell. His fright made him plug his own ears, while hitting the bell with the hammer. The bell sound was, nevertheless, audible to others and therefore to stuff his ears for the purpose of stealing a bell was a stupid action it is as foolish as burying one's head in the sand.
from Huai Nanzi（淮南子著）
掩耳盜鈴
在春秋戰國時期，有一個小偷偷了一隻鍾。他准備把鍾扛在背上帶走。可是鍾又大又沉，很難扛走。因此他想用錘子把鍾敲成碎片，這樣運起來就能多了。可是，他敲了一下，那隻鍾發出巨大的響聲。他怕別人聽到了鍾聲會來搶他的鍾，於是他在錘子敲鍾時捂上了自己的耳朵。不過，即使他這樣做，別人還是聽得到鍾聲的。所以掩耳盜鈴是非常愚蠢的行為，就像把頭埋在沙子中一樣。
（淮南子著）

❹ 急！英語故事、名人名言
1.Sometimes we may think that happiness is so faraway a thing that we couldn't touch it. But with time passing by,I graally understand the meaning of happiness. It turns out to be easy. You know what？You could take everything as a reason to be happy. When you come across an old friend,you can feel happiness from the bottom of your heart. When you see someone else smile to you in the morning ,you might be happy the whole day？ When you find a letter which is written by your teacher,you may feel satisfaction. And when you give a seat to a pregnant woman you must be proud of yourself and be happy.
Remember when you just smile to the world,you will receive double of that.Believe it or not.Happiness is with you all the time and the most important thing is that you catch it and cherish it！
2.At the airport bookstore, there are only about a dozen freestanding shelves of books. It's Darwinian selection at its most brutal: only the most popular authors, the newest novels, and the most recognizable classics survive. You won't find the lesser known works of Oscar Wilde or Voltaire or even Hemingway — there isn't space for them. Jane Austen makes only the briefest appearance, and Edgar Allen Poe shows his face only at Halloween. There are no collections of poetry beyond Dr. Seuss.
There is, however, a whole rack of self help books.
Americans are obsessed with making ourselves better. Smarter. Thinner. You can buy books to improve your vocabulary. You can devour a stack of books that will teach you to work more efficiently, more ruthlessly, and claw your way to the top — and then you can read books on how to stop and smell the roses and enjoy your life more fully. There are even books that will teach you how to organize your closets.
All of these things dance around the essential truth: we want to be happy. We want to be loved. We want to find meaning in our lives and feel that our contributions make a difference.
This, then, is the Rusty Brain Guide: How To Be Happy.
Eat more cookies. Abstaining from a single cookie isn't going to make you look svelte and toned. Go on, eat some cookies. I recommend the double chocolate ones with chocolate chips inside.
Sing. In your car. In elevators. At the mall, especially at Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn. In hospital corridors. Before important client meetings. When people give you that patronizing look, wink at 'em.
Make Popsicles.
Stay home on the weekend and disconnect your phone.
Bring a plastic straw to a fancy restaurant. Make loud gurgling sounds when you get to the bottom as you attempt to drink every last molecule of diet Coke.
Order the stuff on the menu that you've never heard of — like Gkaeng Cheud Bplah Meuk Yad Sai (Stuffed Squid Soup with Napa Cabbage or Squash).
Talk to strangers.
Collect something weird that isn't expensive but is relatively hard-to-find.
Wear odd hats in public places.
Amass a jar of coins. Bury them in your back yard. Draw a treasure map and give it to a friend.
Walk to the park near your house. Do some somersaults. When was the last time you did a somersault, anyway?
Eat pickles out of the jar.
Build a Web site and write your own Rusty Brain column (Matt only).
Spend a day by yourself. Leave your cell phone at home. Wander the streets, muttering to yourself and occasionally disagreeing with what you've just muttered.
Buy a puppy. Name it Charo.
Get your teeth capped. Move to Hollywood. Become a star. (Isn't that what you've been dreaming about anyway?)
Wear thong panties under your habit (nuns only).
Throw a surprise birthday party for a friend. Invite lots of people. Make sure that your friend's actual birthday is nowhere near the date of the party.
Belch in public. Then sigh contently.
Suntan naked on a public beach. Adopt a European accent for the day to explain your complete lack of modesty.
Quit your worthless job and dedicate your life to the study of the Moroccan flute.
Fly a kite.
Stop wasting your life with the Moroccan flute and get a real job.
Volunteer at your library, or church, or your local soup kitchen, or Habitat for Humanity. Wear clothes so ratty that you are often mistaken for one of the "needy."
Use the word "Jonesing" as often as possible. As in, "Man, I'm Jonesin' for some homemade Popsicles." Studies have shown this will make you happy.
Join a bowling league. Buy a large red bowling ball. Name it "Gorbachev."
Drive to the nearest national forest. Hike a mile with a backpack full of cold fried chicken and biscuits. Find a clearing where you will not meet a single human and have a picnic.
Stare at the clouds for a full afternoon and dream.
Think about the things you love to do. Now go do those things more often.
Meet someone, fall in love, live happily ever after.
翻譯： 機場書店裡只有十來個獨立書架。達爾文「適者生存」的無情法則在這里被演繹得淋漓盡致：能上架的只有那些最走紅作家的、最新出爐的以及最被認可的經典作品。就連奧斯卡·王爾德、伏爾泰甚至海明威的那些不太有名的作品，也未能取得一席之地。簡·奧斯丁的作品只有最最出名的幾本，而埃德加·阿倫·坡的則只會在萬聖節時才露上一面。至於詩集，除（狄奧多·）索伊斯博士的以外，其它的就更別提了。
但是，這里卻有整整一架子"＊＊自助"之類的書。
人們總為那些諸如怎樣怎樣讓自己更具魅力、更聰明、更苗條之類的書著迷。你可以買本書來提高自己的單詞量，也可以一目十行地啃下一大堆教你如何如何提高工作效率、更殘酷、更快地往上爬之類的書，也可以看那些教你如何停下來賞聞路邊玫瑰、怎樣更好地享受人生之類的書，甚至還有書教你如何安排自己的洗手間。
所有這些都圍繞著這樣一個基本的主題：我們都希望快樂，我們都希望被愛、希望發現生活的真諦，還希望體驗到因自我奉獻而對周圍帶來的改變。
這就是了。所以我們這個"方腦袋專欄"，就是要告訴你快樂的秘訣。
●多吃幾塊餅干。少吃一塊餅干並不會讓你看起來更苗條或者曲線更優美。所以，繼續放心地吃餅干吧，我推薦那種雙面巧克力，中間還有巧克力餡兒的那種。
●無論是在汽車里、電梯間、超市、特別在Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn這樣的商店裡，都要哼哼歌。在醫院的走廊上，在會見重要客戶的會議上，也要哼歌。當人們注目你的時候，朝他們眨眨眼睛。
●自己做冰棍。
●周末呆在家裡，並拔掉電話插座。
●帶上一根塑料吸管，去一家有特色的餐館吃飯。在你喝完杯中的最後一滴可樂之前，一定要發出咕嚕咕嚕的聲音。
●只點菜單上你從來沒聽說過的東西--類似名叫Gkaeng Cheud Bplah Meuk Yad Sai (魷魚湯迦納帕甘藍或南瓜) 之類的。
●去跟陌生人交談。
●收集那些雖不算貴重，但是卻很難找到的東西。
●在公共場合出現的時候戴一頂很古怪的帽子。
●存一大罐硬幣並埋在你家後面的院子里。然後畫一張藏寶圖，交給你的一個朋友。 （讓他找去吧！）
●去你家附近的公園散步。在公園里翻幾個筋斗。再想想，你最後一次翻跟斗是什麼時候了的事情了？
●直接吃從罐子里取出的淹菜。
●自己建立一個網站，寫自己的"方腦袋專欄" （僅適用於馬特） 。
●獨自在家過一天。把手機丟在家裡。到街上去閑逛，自己嘰哩咕嚕一番，偶爾也反駁自己一番。
●買條小狗。給他取名為沙羅。
●戴上潔白的牙套，然後搬到好萊塢去住。然後成為明星。（這不是你一直所夢想的嗎？）
●在法衣下穿的是系皮帶的襯褲 (僅適用於修女 ) 。
●給朋友舉辦一個很突然的生日派對，邀請很多人參加。但實際上，舉行派對這天跟你朋友生日還差好幾天呢。
●當眾打嗝。然後心滿意足地長舒一口氣。
●在沙灘上裸體曬太陽。在這一天要用歐洲腔來解釋為什麼這么不端莊的原因。
●中止你手上毫無意義的工作，然後集中全力去學摩洛哥長笛。
●去放放風箏。
●不要再把生命浪費在學摩洛哥長笛上，去找一份實在的工作。
●在圖書館、教堂、本地的湯館或是居住區去充當"義工"。衣服一定要穿得破爛到你經常會被認為是"貧困一族"的程度。
●加入某一個保齡球聯盟。買一個大紅色的保齡球，取名為"戈爾巴契夫。"
●開車到最近的國家森林公園去。背一大包油煎雞塊和餅干步行一英里。然後找個干凈的，不會碰上其它單身人士的地方搞一次野餐。
●用整個下午的時間盯著天上的雲發呆、做白日夢。
●考慮考慮自己喜歡做的事兒。現在可以多去做做。
●遇見某人, 墮入情網, 然後幸福地生活
3.Relax. Don』t take yourself too seriously. Happiness is largely a choice. Feel gratitude for all of the good in your life.
Smile. Once you have enough to pay for life』s basics think to yourself: 「I』ve won.」 Happiness is contagious: find someone who is happy and stand close to them.
Play. Create. Happiness is attainable. Slow down and enjoy the scenery. Be spontaneous. Happiness is perched on your windowsill, invite it in.
Success is not the key to happiness; happiness is the key to success. Surround yourself with positive, life-affirming people.
Make others happy. Have big dreams. Enjoy the journey. Grab every single morsel of happiness which comes your way. Be on the look out for moments of pleasure and wonder.
Take care of your body. Be happy right here, right now, while working towards a better tomorrow. Forget about the Joneses. Forgive. Do for others. Become absorbed in activities that cause you to enter the 「flow」 state: that state where you forget yourself, lose track of time, and stop worrying. Develop the habit of positive self-talk. Plant a beautiful garden.
Get sunlight and fresh air. Engage your mind in a puzzle: jigsaw puzzles, sudokus, or crossword puzzles. Listen to music. Make music. Quiet your mind chatter.
Meditate.Practice yoga, tai chi, or Qigong. Get a box of six Guatemalan worry dolls: before going to bed, tell one worry to each doll and put them under your pillow; while you sleep, the dolls will take your troubles away.
Make smart money choices. View difficulties as challenges to be overcome. Remember that it』s not a good story if there aren』t any dragons.
4.Get involved in a cause that』s important to you. Have a cat or a dog; pet them often. Perform random acts of kindness, anonymous or not.Surround yourself with pleasant smells: jasmine, lavender, sandalwood . . . Put things in perspective. Go for a brisk walk. Stretch. Go to a museum.
Find a hobby you love. Engage in pleasurable activities.
(」The Pursuit of Happiness」; courtesy of jonSpot)
Spend discretionary income on experiences, such as dining out and travel, instead of purchasing goods.
Count your blessings. Resolve to have a bad memory: release the past. Be yourself, however strange and weird that may be. Ask yourself: what can I do to become happier? Read a good book.
Climb on a tire swing. Be part of something bigger than yourself. Embrace change. Simplify. Think big in the long run, but think small in the short run. Remember the following line from the film 「American Beauty」: 「. . . it』s hard to stay mad when there』s so much beauty in the world.」Get rid of things that make you unhappy. Make happiness a priority in your life. Do something hedonistic: think afternoon at a spa or going out dancing.
Be curious. Engage in novel activities. Take on new skills. Learn new things. Think back to when you』ve been happiest: what were you doing? Create satisfying, meaningful connections with other people. Practice deep breathing. Savor small authentic moments that bring you contentment. Happiness is a state of mind. Have a small pleasure to look forward to every day: coffee out on the patio, going through a favorite magazine, visiting a beloved friend, baking cookies . . . Search for the sacred in the ordinary. Do a cartwheel when nobody』s looking. Take George Eliot』s declaration to heart: 「It is never too late to be what you might have been.」
5.Laugh often. Ask for what you want. Hang a hammock; lie in it. Find work you love.Let go of fear.
Have courage. One of the greatest gifts you can give to your loved ones is to let them see you living a happy life. When you』re happy you give others permission to be happy as well.
Love. Entertain hope. Cope with difficult situations with ingenuity. Spend time contemplating nature. Accept that sometimes you』ll be sad, that』s just part of life. Make happiness the ultimate goal in your life. Fake it until you make it: act happy.
Create a serene environment. Resolve to be a little bit happier today than you were yesterday. Tilt your head back and let out a raucous peal of laughter . . .
翻譯放鬆。把自己看得輕一點。快樂在很大程度上，是一種選擇。為你生命中所擁有的美好，心懷感激吧。
微笑。一旦你能滿足自己的基本生活需求了，就在心裡對自己說：「我贏了。」快樂是可以傳染的：所以找些快樂的人，然後向他們靠攏。
玩。創造。幸福是可以通過努力獲得的。放慢腳步，去欣賞沿途的風景，要發自內心的去做。快樂就棲息在你的窗檻上，把它請進來吧。成功不是快樂的關鍵；而快樂卻是成功的關鍵。爭取讓在你身邊的人都是些積極而又有肯定生活態度的人。
讓他人快樂。擁有遠大的理想。享受你的旅途。抓住旅途中點滴的快樂，珍惜每個開心和奇跡的瞬間。
善待自己的身體。開心點，就在此時，此地，與此同時，也為了一個更美好的明天努力。安心過自己的生活，不做無謂的攀比。學會原諒，幫助他人。積極投入得去參加活動，它們會讓你進入一種「流動」的狀態：在這種狀態里，你會忘了自己，忘了時間，也停止焦慮。養成積極的自我暗示的習慣。修一個漂亮的花園。
享受陽光和新鮮的空氣。玩游戲：拼圖游戲，數獨游戲或填字游戲。聽聽音樂，玩玩音樂，讓你的思緒安靜下來。
沉思。
練習瑜伽，太極或者氣功。在睡覺前准備一箱（6個）瓜地馬拉憂心娃娃，告訴每個娃娃一個憂傷，然後把它們放在枕頭下面，枕著它們入睡。這樣，在你睡著的時候，它們就會將你的煩惱帶走。
正確的對待金錢。把困難當成將要征服的挑戰。要知道，好事多磨。
去做一些對你很來說重要的事情.養一隻貓或狗，經常去寵愛他們。經常性的做善事，匿不匿名都可以。讓你的周圍充滿可人的香味：茉莉花，薰衣草，檀香木。。。用長遠的眼光看待事情。去輕輕鬆鬆的散步，舒展自身，去博物館。
找一個自己喜歡的愛好. 參加一些娛樂性的活動。
把閑錢花在體驗上，比如說去外面吃餐飯，旅遊，而不是去購物。
珍惜你得到的恩澤.做一個「健忘」的人：釋懷過去。不管別人覺得你有多怪多離奇，都要堅持自己的本色。問問自己：我要做些什麼，才能讓自己更快樂？讀一本好書。
融入快樂，擺脫疲憊：.參與一些超越自己的事項。接受改變。盡量簡單。目光要長遠，但是也要有近期目標。記住《美國麗人》中的一句話：當世上有這么多美好事物的時候，想要保持瘋狂也難。解決掉那些讓你不快的事情，讓快樂成為你生命中的頭等大事。做一些享受的事情：想想下午去洗個溫泉浴，或者去外面跳一支舞。
保持好奇心.
參與新奇的事物：學習新技能，接觸新鮮事物。當你覺得自己是最快樂，最幸福的時候，回顧一下過去：回想你通常在做什麼的時候 ，會感到快樂？與別人創建一種令人滿足的，有意義的聯系。練習深呼吸。盡情享受那些給你帶來滿足感的真實時刻。快樂是精神上的一種境界。每天都期待一點小幸福，去院子里喝喝咖啡，瀏覽一本自己喜歡的雜志，拜訪自己喜歡的好友，享受自己喜歡的曲奇…..
在每天的平凡中尋找神聖。
趁別人不注意的時候來個側身翻。把喬治艾略特的宣言牢記在心：「去成為你本應該成為的人，任何時候都不算晚。」
經常笑. 去索取你想要的。 掛上一個吊床，然後躺在裡面。找一份你喜歡的工作，擱下恐懼。
鼓起勇氣. 在所有禮物中，你能給你所愛的人最大的禮物就是讓他們看到，你過著幸福的生活。如果你快樂，那就意味著你給了人家一個許諾：你，也一樣能快樂。
愛. 擁抱希望。用智慧來解決難題。花點時間來觀察自然。接受那些偶爾的傷心，那些只是生活的一部分。讓快樂成為你生命的終極目標。在你得到快樂之前，要假裝快樂。

1。八仙過海，各顯神通(Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea,each one shows his or her special prowess)
According to the Chinese folk legend,there were Eight Immortals named Han Zhongli,Zhang Guolao,Han Xiangzi,Li Tieguai,Cao Guojiu,Lu Dongbin,Lan Caihe and He xianggu in ancient China.
Once the Eight Immortals were invited to attend an Immortality Peach Party given by the Queen Mother of the Western Heaven.
When they reached the bank of the Eastern Sea,there were no ships for them to go across the vast sea at all.Then Lu Dongbin suggested that each of them used his or her treasure to ride across the sea. They all agreed.
Then everyone threw a treasure on the sea to ride it across the sea,showing their mysterious abilities.
Now we use it to describe that in collective labour,everyone shows his own special ablity to complete the common task.
根據中國民間傳說，古時候有八位神仙，就是漢鍾離、張果老、韓湘子、鐵拐李、曹國舅、呂洞賓、藍采和、何仙姑。
一次，他們應王母娘娘的邀請，赴西天參加蟠桃盛會。
他們來到東海之濱，必須過海才能去赴會，而當時又無渡船。呂洞賓建議，每人用自己所帶寶物渡海，大家都同意。
後多用此典比喻在集體的工作中，每個人都盡自己的長處以及特點來完成共同的事業。
2。夜郎自大（ludicrous conceit of the King of Yelang-parochial arrogance)
It is recorded that in order to keep in touch with the countries of the Southwest and find the passageway of going to India,Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had sent Wang Yanyu and others to take a small road to find the passageway.On the way,they met the King of the Kingdom of Dian,who asked Wang a question:"Which is bigger,the Han Dynasty or out Kingdom?"Wang explained that there were dozens of prefectures in the Han Dynasty,and the territory of Dian was just like one of them.Then they met the King of Yelang who also asked the same questiong.In fact,Yelang was a very small Kingdom in the Southwest.Its territory was just like a count of Han\'s.Actually they always thought that they had a vast territory and didn\'t know anything about the Han Dynasty.
為了加強同西南鄰國的聯系和尋找去印度的道路，漢武帝派使者王然於等人抄小路往西南尋求通往印度之路。在途中他們見到滇國國王，國王問使者：「漢朝和我們國家比，哪一個大？」王然於解釋說，漢朝有幾十個郡，像你們滇國也不過是其中一個郡吧！
到了夜郎國，夜郎國王也這樣問。其實，夜郎國只是西南部（今貴州省西北部）的一個小國，其面積只相當於漢朝的一個縣，。原來他們一直都認為自己的地盤大，對漢朝的情況根本不了解。
後用此典比喻妄自尊大。
3。自相矛盾：A man of the state of Chu had a spear and a shield for sale. He was loud in praises of his shield.
"My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through."
He also sang praises of his spear.
"My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything."
"What would happen," he was asked, "if your spear is used to pierce your shield?"
It is impossible for an impenetrable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable.
古時候，矛和盾都是作戰用的武器。矛用來刺殺敵人，盾則用來保護身體，以免被對方的矛刺中。
傳說很久以前，楚國有個賣兵器的人，在市場上賣矛和盾。為了讓人家願意買他的貨，他先舉起盾向人們誇口道：「你們看，我的盾是世上最堅固的盾，任何鋒利的東西都不能刺穿它。」接著又舉起他的矛，向人吹噓說：「你們再看看我的矛，它鋒利無比，無堅不摧，無論多麼堅硬的盾，都擋不住它，一刺就穿！」
圍觀的人聽了他的話都覺得很好笑，人群中有人問道：「依你的說法，你的矛無論怎樣堅硬的盾都能刺穿，而你的盾又是無論多麼鋒利的矛也不能把它刺穿。那就拿你的矛來刺你的盾吧，看看結果怎麼樣？」
賣兵器的人聽了張口結舌，無從回答，只好拿著矛和盾走了。
「自相矛盾」就是由這個故事演變而來的。現在人們用它來比喻做事、說話前後自相抵觸。
❻ 英語諺語故事
一隻貓的生命哲學:The Zen of Cat
原來很大的道理不一定需要很難的語言去解釋，本文簡單地一問一答告訴我們，當身邊的人離去時，他們其實活在我們的心裡；告訴我們，生命原本是一個無所謂開始更無所謂結束的圓圈；告訴我們，每一段生命的結束都意味著新生命的開始。只要心中還有愛，有思念，我們就可以笑對生死，珍惜人生。——題記 The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat』s days were numbered.The doctor had said there wasn』t anything more that could be done,that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
The man stroked the Cat on his lap and sighed.The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear rolled down the Man』s cheek and landed on the Cat』s forehead.The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
「Why do you cry, Man？」the Cat asded.「Because you can』t bear the thought of losing me？ Because you think you can never replace me？」The Man nodded 「yes.」
「And where do you think I』ll be when I leave you？」the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. 「Close your eyes, Man,」 the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
「What color are my eyes and fur？」 the Cat asked. 「Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,」 the Man replied.
「And where is it that you most often see me？」asked the Cat. 「I see you…on the kitchen windowsill watching the birds…on my favorite chair…on my desk lying on the papers I need…on the pillow next to my head at night.」 「Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes,」 said the Cat.
「Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my 『toy.』」 The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. 「Now take each end of the string in one hand,」 the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
「The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,」 the Cat said. The Man complied.
「You have made a continuous circle,」 said the cat.「Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string？」 The Man inspected the string and then shook his head 「no.」
「Close your eyes again,」 the Cat said.「Now lick your hand.」 The Man widened his eyes in surprise.
「Just do it,」 the Cat said.「Lick your hand,think of me in all my familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.」
The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told. He discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop,and when he didn』t, he opened his eyes. The Cat』s eyes were closed.The Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and through his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held clutched in his hand.
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was a lovely calico and white…very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.
男人非常傷心。他知道貓餘下的日子不多了。醫生說已經沒得治了，他只能把貓帶回家，並盡可能地讓他在剩下的時間里過得舒服些。
男人把貓放在腿上，嘆了口氣。貓睜開眼睛，呼嚕呼嚕地叫著，抬眼看了看男人。一滴眼淚從男人的臉頰邊滑落，落在了貓的額頭上。貓有點不高興地看了他一眼。
「你哭個什麼啊，伙計？」貓問道，「因為你無法承受將要失去我的念頭？因為你認為永遠都沒有什麼能代替我？」男人點了點頭。「是啊。」
「那麼你認為我離開你以後，會到什麼地方去了呢？」貓問道。男人無望地聳了聳肩。「閉上眼睛吧，伙計，」貓說。男人疑惑地看了他一眼，但還是聽話地閉上了眼睛。
「我的眼睛和毛皮是什麼顏色的？」貓問。「你的眼睛是金色的，你的毛皮是濃郁而溫暖的褐色的。」男人回答道。
「那你最常在什麼地方見到我呢？」貓問。「我經常見到你……在廚房地窗檯上看鳥……在我最喜歡的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我腦袋邊的枕頭上。」「那麼，無論什麼時候你想見我，你只要閉上你的眼睛就可以了。」貓說。
「把地上的那段繩子撿起來——那裡，我的『玩具』。」男人睜開眼睛，伸手撿起了繩子。繩子大約有兩英尺（約0.6米）長，貓曾經能夠玩著繩子自娛自樂一玩就是幾個小時。「現在用兩只手捏住繩子的兩端。」貓命令道。男人照做了。
「你左手捏著的那端就是我的出生，而右手的那端就是我的死亡。現在把兩端連在一起。」貓說道。男人又照做了。
「你做出了一個連貫的圓圈，」貓說，「這個繩子上的任意一點同其他點有什麼不同嗎？比繩子的其他部分更好或者更差嗎？」男人審視著那根繩子，然後搖了搖頭。「沒有。」
「再次閉上你的眼睛，」貓說，「現在舔舔你的手。」男人驚訝地睜大了眼睛。
「照我說的做吧，」貓說。「舔舔你的手，想想我在所有我熟悉的地方，想想所有的繩子。」
要舔自己的手，男人覺得很蠢，不過他還是照做了。他發現了貓所知道的秘密——舔爪子能讓你平靜下來，並讓你能夠思考得更加清楚。他繼續舔著，他的嘴角開始上翹，好多天來第一次露出了微笑。他等待著貓叫停，可是沒等到，於是他睜開了眼睛。貓的眼睛已經閉上了。他摸了摸貓溫暖的褐色皮毛，可是貓已經去了。
男人用力地閉上了眼睛，淚如泉涌。他看到貓蹲在窗檯上，然後是他的床上，然後躺在他的重要文件上。他看到貓在他腦袋邊的枕頭上，看到他明亮的金黃色的眼睛還有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛發。他睜開眼睛，透過淚水看向他依然捏在手裡的繩圈。
不久以後的某一天，他的膝上有了一隻新的貓咪。她是一隻可愛的白色花斑貓——與之前那隻他深愛的貓是那麼的不同，然而又是那麼的相同。
