原文： Mary calls John, asking him to deliver a message to her parents. W: Hello, Uncle John, this is Mary. M: Mary, what a surprise! How are you doing in China? W: Not bad. Could you do me a favor? I've been trying to call my Mom and Dad for almost an hour, but the line is always busy. Nobody else could have been talking with them on the phone for so long. They must have hung up the phone improperly. Could you possibly go there in order to let them know that? M: OK. No problem. W: Thanks a lot, Uncle John. M: You're welcome.
译文： 请求帮助 玛丽给约翰打电话，请他给她的父母传个信。 W: 嗨，约翰叔叔，我是玛丽。 M: 玛丽，真让人惊讶呀！你在*过得怎么样？ W: 还不错。能麻烦您帮我一个忙吗？我给我爸妈打电话都打了一个小时了，但是一直占线。别人不可能和他们在电话上说这么长时间的。他们肯定没把电话挂好。能麻烦您去那儿提醒他们一下吗？ M: 好的。没问题。 W: 多谢，约翰叔叔。 M: 不用客气。
Asking for Directions问路2
Dale: Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the Palace Museum? Nancy: You can take Bus 5. The driver will tell you where to get off. Dale: Yes, but I'm driving my own car. Nancy: Oh, then you drive along this street, turn right at the third crossroad, then take the first left. Keep straight on until you see a road sign that says"Palace Museum", and then you follow the sign. It will direct you to the Palace Museum. Dale: Drive along this street, turn right, turn left, keep straight, and then I'll see the road sign? Nancy: That's right. Dale: Are you sure that I won't bump into any one-way streets? Nancy: Well,... I don't think you will.... I don't see any car around here. Where is your car? Dale: I parked it over there. You see? Nancy: Oh, no. You'd better move it before a policeman sees you parking there. Dale: Why? I don't see any"No Parking"signs. Nancy: But you're parking in a bus zone. Dale: Here comes a policeman. I'd better run.... Thank you, miss.... Oh, by the way, how long will it take for me to get to the museum? Nancy: About half an hour. Dale: Thanks again. You've been very helpful. Nancy: Hurry up, or you'll get a ticket.是的，已经完成了。
帮助他人，就是帮助自己3
帮助他人，就是帮助自己。
在读完《一朵不结果的桃花》这个小故事后，我感悟颇深。作文网所述的这个故事，虽然简短，却蕴含了深刻的哲理。故事中的桃花们热情地欢迎蜜蜂，慷慨地给予花蜜。然而，有一朵桃花却因为自私而拒绝了蜜蜂，结果却落得凋零的下场。
这个故事告诉我们，付出与收获是息息相关的。真正的帮助他人不仅带来内心的喜悦，也会在某种程度上回馈给我们。正如蜜蜂在采集花蜜的同时也帮助了桃花授粉一样，我们的善行也会在未来得到回报。而那些自私自利的人，则注定会面对自己行为所造成的果实。
我们生活在一个共同体中，无私奉献与热情帮助是我们应该具备的美德。同时，也要学会接受他人的帮助，因为在某些时候，我们都需要依靠他人的支持与帮助。
因此，从小事做起，积累善行与美德，这样才能在日后形成良好的品德。帮助他人，并非单纯地为了别人，更是在帮助自己。只有在彼此相助的过程中，我们才能共同成长，共同进步。
