圣经故事

章节摘录

　　(旧约)　　一座美丽花园的故事　　我们居住的这个巨大而浑圆的世界是十分古老的；它太古老了，以至于没有人知道它产生的年代。但是远在还没有大地、太阳和星星以前。就有上帝了。上帝是永恒的，他总是存在的。很久。很久的时候，上帝发出了指令，于是就有了地和天。但是，那时的地不像现在这样美丽、有高山峡谷．河流海洋，还有树木鲜花。它只是一个巨大、漆黑、冒烟的球体，其中的陆地和水流混沌一团，上面没有生命。　　当大地还是漆黑一团的时候，上帝说：“要有光。”于是光照到了地上。地上有一部分时间是亮的，另一部分时间是黑的。上帝把黑的时间叫做夜晚，亮的叫做白天。这就成了地上的第一日。　　此后，根据上帝的旨意，地球四周的乌云开始散开，呈现出天空。云中的水也开始同地上的水分离。大地上方那拱形的天空，上帝叫做天。这样夜晚和清晨又用了一天。　　接着上帝说：“让地上的水都聚集到一处．使旱地显露出来。”他的话实现了，世界各地的水都汇集到一处，形成了一片汪洋，旱地也从中露了出来。上帝把汪洋叫做海洋，给旱地起名叫做陆地。接着上帝又说：“让陆地上长满绿草，树木，鲜花和果实。”立刻，陆地便被绿草，鲜花和结满果实的树木覆盖，变的一片葱绿，这是地上的第三天。　　接着上帝又说：“在地上要看得见太阳，月亮和星星。”于是太阳便开始在白天、月亮和星星则在夜晚照耀着大地。这一切是在第四天完成的。　　上帝又说：“海里要有鱼，天上要有飞鸟。”这样各种大小鱼类便开始在海洋里游弋；乌儿也像现在一样在大地的上空翱翔。这都是第五天的事情。　　此后上帝又说：“地上要有大小动物，既要有能走的，也要有能爬的。”于是，树林间，田野里因为有了各种各样的动物而生机盎然。大地也因为有了这些居民显得更美了，但是，世界上还是没有人类。所以上帝就说：“我要造人。他要能站立。有灵魂，像上帝一样，他要成为大地和地上的一切的主宰。”于是上帝就从地上抓了一把泥土，用它捏了一个人；又向他吹了一口灵气，这人就活了。在地上站了起来。　　THIS great round world, on which we live, is very old; so oldthat no one knows when it was made. But long before there was anyearth, or sun, or stars, God was living, for God never began to be.He always was. And long, long ago, God spoke, and the earth andthe heavens came. But the earth was not beautiful as it is now, withmountains and valleys, rivers and seas, with trees and　　flowers. Itwas a great, dark, smoking ball, with land and water combined intoone mass. And upon this mass there was no life.　　While all was dark upon earth, God said, "Let there be　　light,"and then the light began to come upon the world. Part of the time itwas light, and part of the time it was dark, just as it is now. AndGod called the dark time Night, and the light time Day. And thatwas the first day upon this earth.　　Then, at Gods word, the dark clouds all around the earth be-gan to break, and the sky came in sight, and the water that was inthe clouds began to be separate from the water that was on theearth. And the arc of the sky, which was over the earth, God calledHeaven. Thus the night and the morning made a second day.　　Then God said, "Let the water on the earth come together inone place, and let the dry land rise up." And so it was. The waterthat had been all over the world came together, and formed a greatocean, and the dry land rose up from it. And God called the greatwater Sea, and the dry land he named Earth. Then God said, "Letgrass and trees, and flowers, and fruits, grow on the earth." And at once the earth began to be green and bright with grass, and flowers,and trees bearing fruit. This made the third day upon the earth.　　Then God said, "Let the sun, and moon, and stars come　　intosight from the earth." So the sun began to shine by day, and themoon and the stars began to shine in the night. And this was doneon the fourth day.　　And God said, "let there be fishes in the sea, and let there bebirds to fly in the air." So the fishes, great ones and small, beganto swim in the sea; and the birds began to fly in the air over theearth, just as they do now. And this loas the fifth day.　　Then God said, "Let the animals come upon the earth,　　greatanimals and small ones; those that walk and those that crawl on theearth." And the woods and the fields began to be alive with ani-mals of all kinds. And now the earth began to be more beautifulwith all its inhabitants, but there were no people in the world. SoGod said, "I will make man. He shall stand up and shall have asoul, and shall be like God; and he shall be the master of the earthand all that is upon it." So God took some of the dust that was onthe ground, and out of it he made man; and God breathed into himthe breath of life, and man became alive, and stood up on theearth.

　　英语界名人、名家论阅读。　　光学几句干巴巴的英文不行，……不要总是把阅读的目的放在提高英文上，阅读首先是吸收知识，吸收知识的过程中自然而然就吸收了语言。　　——许国璋　　用英文思维是许多英语学习者都希望达到的一种境界，因为这是用英语流畅地表达思想的基础。对于一个生活在非英语环境中的中国学生来说，要做到部分或全部用英文来思考确有很大难度，但也不是可望而不可及。从自己学习英语的经历中，我体会到坚持大量阅读是实现这一目标最有效的途径之一。　　——何其莘（北京外国语大学副校长 博士生导师）　　对于初、中级英语学习者我特别推荐英语简易读物，读的材料要浅易，故事性要强，读的速度尽可能快一些，读得越多越好。这是学英语屡试不爽的好方法。　　——胡文仲（北京外国语大学教授）

作者简介

《床头灯英语5000词纯英文:圣经故事》难度适中：市面上大多数英语读物，要么难度过低，近似于中学水平的简写本，要么过于艰深，读者不得不“知难而退”。对于中高级英语学习者而言，找不到难度适中的英语读物，这是他们无法彻底征服英语的根本原因。本套读物用英语中5500个核心词汇写成，使你躺在床上不用翻词典就能顺利地读下去，在不知不觉中走向英语自由境界。

语言现代，地道；美国作家执笔，用流畅的现代英语写成，保留原著的语吉特色。

选材经典：皆为一生中不可不读的作品，读之可提高英语水平。积淀西方文化和深入了解西方世界。

情节曲折、赵味性强；让你徜徉在一个又一个迥异奇妙的书中世界。

摆脱汉语干扰：大多数读者（尤其是青少年），在读英汉对照读物学英语时，经常出现一种情况，即刚开始还主要看英语，越到后来，情节越跌宕，心情越迫切，就会一不小心把汉语先读完了。纯英文版即可避免此种现象发生。

便于教师教学使用。
