導讀：哲理小故事能夠引起小朋友們的興趣，在看故事的同時也能從中學習到一些人生哲理，在外國也有許多的哲理小故事，下面小編為大家整理了一些短篇英語哲理小故事，希望大家能夠喜歡。

一、THRIFT 節儉

　　There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.

　　I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

　　一個沒有一個節儉的人遲早不成為一個富翁。為什么？因為他決不花像那種不必要的錢。漸漸他的錢就會聚積起來。十之八九，他一定會發財的。

　　我不喜歡那種亂花錢的人。他們不知道奢侈是一件壞事。它只能夠使他們暫時快樂而已。總而言之，節儉使窮人變富，奢侈使富人變窮。

二、PERSEVERANCE 毅力／堅忍

　　Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.

　　Our National Father, Dr.  , is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.

　　不需說，只有毅力才能引導人邁向成功之途。換句話說，一個具有毅力的人做工作終是(never...without)會把它做成功的。這真是不易之定理也。

　　我們國父是一個最理想的例了.致力國民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到許多次的失敗，但是他決不灰心。結果，他贏了。誕生了。
