烏鴉喝水
A crow, ready to die with thirst, flew with joy to a pitcher which he saw at a distance. But when he came up to it, he found the water so low that with all his stooping and straining he was unable to reach it. Thereupon he tried to bread the pitcher, then to overturn it, seeing some small pebbles at hand, he dropped a great many of them, one by one, into the pitcher, and so raised the water to the brim, and quenched his thirst.
譯 文
一只快渴死的烏鴉，遠遠地看見一只水壺，就高興地飛了過去，但是當他飛到的時候發現壺里的水淺得怎么用力彎腰伸頸也夠不著，于是他試著把水壺打破，又試著把他推倒。但是力量不足，都做不到，最后看見近邊有許多小石子，他一個個地把很多石子丟進了水壺，這樣使水上升到壺口，就解了渴。

China the youthful青春中國
Among the many pretty ones, 萬千佳麗，
Only you do not use makeup. 唯有你不施脂粉。
Your feelings are genuine, 一片純情，
You have a radiance all your own... 光彩照人......
You are youthful! 你是青春!
Among scores of high mountains, 百十山岳間，
Only you have a longer horizon. 唯有你天開地闊。
Looking for close friedds among equals, 平等中尋覓摯友，
And building up oneself through honest deeds...以誠實營造自我...
You are China! 你是中國!
