一天，一個農夫買了一頭聽見“Praise the Lord(讚美主)”就會走得很快的驢。下面是小編分享的英語文章讚美主，歡迎大家閱讀!
A farmer is driving down the road and spots a sign that reads "Mule1 For Sale" 。
He decides to at least look at the mule to see if it is of good quality. He talks to the owner which tells him that the mule is the faster mule alive, and that it is very different from other mules2.
The owner explains to the farmer that the mule will only proceed to walk when the phrase "Praise The LORD" is spoken and the more you say it the faster he will go, to stop the mule, the owner explains you got to say "Hallelujah". The farmer decides to ride the mule to see if the owner is telling the truth. He gets on the mule and screams out ... "Praise the LORD!" the mule takes off the farmer then Yells "Hallelujah!" To which the mule stops. The farmer, seeing that he is a pretty good distance from the owner, decides to see just how fast the mule will go, so he yells out "Praise the LORD" and the mule takes off he repeats the phrase over and over until he is really moving it along.
The farmer looks up and sees he is coming up on a very high cliff that drops off to a deep canyon3 below, and decides he had better stop the mule, when he realized he forgotten what the word was to stop the ng to hit the right word, he starts rambling4 and spouting5 out words... "AMEN!"... "GLORY!"... "SWEET JESUS!"... "AMAZING GRACE!" He sees getting closer and closer to the cliff when right at the edge of the cliff he yells ... "HALLELUJAH!!!" To which the mule stops dead in his tracks. The farmer, out of breath and shaking from the fright wipes the sweat from his brow looks up to heaven and says "Whew! Praise the LORD!"
一天，一個農夫在路上行走，看見一則賣驢廣告。
農夫決定去看看驢怎麼樣。通過同賣主交談，農夫得知那驢跑的很快，十分活潑，而且與眾不同。
賣主告訴農夫那頭驢只有在聽到“讚美主”才會走，而且說的次數越多，那驢就走的`越快。賣主說要想讓驢停下來就要喊“哈利路亞”。農夫見他離賣主有一段距離，他決定試試看那頭驢能跑多快。於是，農夫喊道：“讚美主!” ，那頭驢就帶著農夫跑了起來，農夫一遍又一遍的重複著那句話，直到他走了很遠。
農夫抬起頭看見他已經走進一處懸崖，知道自己該讓驢停下來了。這時，他突然意識到自己不記得讓驢停下來的那句話了。他就開始胡亂的喊“阿門” ，“親愛的主” ，“奇蹟”，眼看著就要到懸崖邊上了，農夫喊道“哈利路亞” 。於是，驢停了下來。農夫屏住呼吸，渾身顫抖，眉頭稍微舒展了，他看看天說道：“喔，讚美主!”
