英语美文 篇1
亲爱的亚利桑那：
my brother is so lucky. good stuff is always happening to him. do you believe in luck? and if so, how can i get more of it?
我的兄弟运气特别好，常有好事发生在他身上。你相信运气吗？如果真有运气，我怎样才能得到更多一些呢？
—looking for luck in louisiana
——身在路易斯安那寻找好运的人
dear looking,
亲爱的运气寻觅者：
i was eating breakfast with one hand, petting my cat, cow, with the other, and reading the back of the cereal box, when—“youch!” i screamed. “why’d you pinch me?”
我当时正一手吃早餐，一手爱抚着我的猫“牛牛”，同时在看燕麦片盒子背面的信息。就在这时——“哎呦”，我尖叫起来，“你干嘛捏我？”
“you’re not wearing green,” said my little brother, tex. “everyone knows you get pinched if you don’t wear green on saint patrick’s day!”
“因为你没穿绿色衣服，”我的小弟弟特克斯说，“人人都知道如果在圣帕特里克节里不穿绿色衣服就会被捏！”
“it’s true,” said my little sister, indi.
“这是真的！”我的小妹妹英蒂说。
i was mostly mad about getting pinched, but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was saint patrick’s day.
我对自己被掐感到非常生气，但有一点儿值得高兴的是，这提醒了我今天是圣帕特里克节。
i panicked. “what am i going to do? i don’t have time to change. i’ll get pinched all day long!”
我惊慌失措：“我该怎么办？我没时间换衣服了。一整天我都会被人捏的！”
“well,” tex said, taking the old green baseball cap off his head, “you could borrow my lucky hat.”
“好吧，”特克斯从他头上摘下那顶绿色的旧棒球帽，说，“你可以借我的幸运帽。”
“but it’s your favorite!” i said.
“但它可是你的最爱。”我说。
“i know,” said tex. “just promise to give it back after school.”
我知道，”特克斯说，“只要你答应放学后还给我就行了。”
“no problem,” i said, glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. “i look like a goofball in this thing!”
“没问题，”我说。出门前，我照了照镜子。“戴上这个东西，我看上去就像个傻瓜！”
“a lucky goofball!” said tex.
“一个幸运的傻瓜！”特克斯说。
“hum.” i grabbed my backpack. “thanks, i think.”
“嗯，”我抓起书包说道，“好吧，谢谢。”
now, before i go on, you should know that i’m not an overly superstitious person. i don’t believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. i definitely don’t freak out if a black cat crossees my path. and when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers and lucky pennies, i just never believed in them.
说到这里，你要知道我不是个极其迷信的人。我不认为13是个倒霉的数字，或者打碎镜子会带来7年的厄运。我决不会因为一只黑猫在我面前走过而被吓坏，也决不会相信诸如幸运四叶草、幸运便士这类东西。
anyway, i was racing to catch the school bus, and i saw a dollar on the sidewalk! i looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept stepping on the poor thing, so i decided to rescue it. i’d found pennies and nickels before, but never a dollar! then, i didn’t miss the bus, because the bus was even later than me—which never happens!
不管怎样，当我正拼命追赶校车 时，我看到人行道上有张一美元的钞票！我环顾四周，看看有没人在找它，可人们都相继踩过这个可怜的家伙，所以我决定营救它。以前我捡过便士和镍币，可从没 发现过一美元的钞票。随后，我没有错过校车，因为校车甚至比我还晚到——这是从未发生过的！
my luck didn’t stop there. carlos and jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing each other on spelling words. i turned around and said, “you guys know that test isn’t till tomorrow, right?”
我的运气并未就此打住。卡洛斯和杰克逊刚好坐在我后面，正相互考单词拼写。我转过头去，说：“你们知道明天才测验，对吗？”
“it got switched to this morning,” said jackson. “remember? there’s some assembly tomorrow. ”
“已经改到今天早上了。”杰克逊说，“记得吗？明天有个大会要开。”
“that’s right. i totally forgot!” i said. “i’m so lucky that i sat in front of you. if i hadn’t, i wouldn’t have found out till it was too late!” i got out my spelling words, studied all the way to school. and ended up acing the test!
“对哦。我忘得一干二净！”我说，“坐在你们前面我多么幸运啊。不然，到我发现已经晚了。”我拿出要考的单词表来，去学校的一路上，我都在复习。最终，我考了个好成绩。
the minute i got home, i gave tex a gigantic hug.
一回到家，我就给特克斯一个大大的拥抱。
“this is the luckiest hat in the world,” i said. “i’m never taking it off!”
“这是世界上最幸运的`帽子。”我说，“我永远都不取下来了！”
“but you promised to give it back!” said tex.
“但你答应过要还给我的。”特克斯说。
“i know, but…” i pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. “i think it’s stuck.”
“我知道，但是……”我假装试图把帽子摘下来，“我想它粘住了。”
“it is not!” said tex.
“没有！”特克斯说。
“please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!” i begged.
“求求你把你的幸运帽借我再用一天。”我请求道。
“tomorrow i’m auditioning for the school play, and i need every bit of help i can get.”
“明天我要参加学校话剧表演的选角面试，我需要得到所有帮助。”
“ok,” said tex. “one more day. but you’d better be really nice to me.”
“好吧，”特克斯说，“再借一天。但你最好真得对我好点。”
“i will,” i agreed. “in fact, here you can have my lucky dollar!” tex let out a whoop, then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.
“我会的，”我同意道，“这样，我这张幸运美元给你！”特克斯欢呼了一声，接着，他一边在空中挥舞着他的礼物，一边开始在四周跳起舞来。
the next day turned out to be super lucky. my audition couldn’t have gone better.
第二天，我的运气棒极了。我的试演再好不过了。
“wow, arizona!” said my friend mareya. “i can’t believe how amazingly you just did! you are so getting a major part in this play!”
“哇，亚利桑那！”我的朋友玛瑞娅说，“你刚刚的表演太令人吃惊了，我简直不敢相信！你肯定可以在这部话剧里演主角！”
“thanks! you did really great, too!” i said. “but honestly, the only reason i did ok is because i had my lucky hat.”
“谢谢！你也表演得很棒！”我回答道，“不过，老实说，我表演好全因为我有一顶幸运帽。”
“what lucky hat?” asked mareya.
“什么幸运帽？”玛瑞娅问。
“this one,” i said, reaching into my backpack, where i thought i’d put tex’s hat since i couldn’t wear it for the audition. but it wasn’t there! “oh no!” i cried. “it’s gone! what am i going to tell tex?”
“就是这个，”我边说边把手伸进书包里，我以为我把特克斯的帽子放在书包里了，因为我不能戴着它表演。但帽子不在里面！“哦，不！”我喊道，“它不见了！我怎么跟特克斯交代啊？”
mareya helped me look for it. luckily, we found tex’s hat in my locker. also luckily, i discovered that i could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.
玛瑞娅也帮我找，幸运的是，我们发现原来帽子放在我的储物柜里了。同样幸运的是，我发现无论戴不戴那顶落入我手中让我看起来滑稽可笑的帽子，我都会有好运。
“so it wasn’t the hat,” said mareya. “this is just a wild guess, but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month.”
“所以，并不是因为那顶帽子，”玛瑞娅说，“那不过是瞎猜罢了。也许那是你过去一个月里刻苦练习的结果。”
“hmm,” i said. “it’s possible.”
“嗯，”我说，“可能是！”
so, dear looking, i guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared, believing in yourself…and maybe just a tiny bit of magic!in other words, luck may come your way, but you have to be ready for it when it does!
所以，亲爱的运气寻觅者，我想你可以说幸运是这样一个组合——做好准备，相信自己……也许再加上一点点的魔法！换言之，幸运也许正向你走来，但在它降临时，你得做好准备！
ciao for now.
写到这里。再见。

英语美文 篇2
Passing through the Atlanta airport one morning, I caught one of those trains that take travelers from the main terminal to their boarding gates. Free, sterile and impersonal, the trains run back and forth all day long. Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard laughter.
一天早晨去亚特兰大机场，我看见一辆列车载载着旅客从航空集散站抵达登记处。这类免费列车每天单调、无味地往返其间，没人觉得有趣。但这个周六我却听到了笑声。
At the front of the first car – looking out the window at the track that lay ahead – were a man and his son.
在头节车厢的最前面，坐着一个男人和他的儿子。他们正透过窗户观赏着一直往前延伸的铁道。
We had just stopped to let off passengers, and the doors wee closing again. “Here we go! Hold on to me tight!” the father said. The boy, about five years old, made sounds of sheer delight.
我们停下来等候旅客下车，之后，车门关上了。“走吧。拉紧我!”父亲说。儿子大约5岁吧，一路喜不自禁。
I know we’re supposed to avoid making racial distinctions these days, so I hope no one will mind if I mention that most people on the train were white, dressed for business trips or vacations – and that the father and son were black, dressed in clothes that were just about as inexpensive as you can buy.
车上坐的多半是衣冠楚楚，或公差或度假的.白人，只有这对黑人父子穿着朴素简单。我知道如今我们不该种族歧视，我希望我这样描述没人介意。
“Look out there!” the father said to his son. “See that pilot? I bet he’s walking to his plane.” The son craned his neck to look.
“快看!”父亲对儿子说：“看见那位飞行员了吗?我敢肯定是去开飞机的。”儿子伸长脖子看。
As I got off, I remembered some thing I’d wanted to buy in the terminal. I was early for my flight, so I decided to go back.
下了车后我突然想起还得在航空集散站买点东西。离起飞时间还早，于是我决定再乘车回去。
I did – and just as I was about to reboard the train for my gate, I saw that the man and his son had returned too. I realized then that they hadn’t been heading for a flight, but had just been riding the shuttle.
正准备上车的时候，我看到那对父子也来了。我意识到他们不是来乘飞机的，而是特意来坐区间列车的。
“I want to ride some more!”
“我还想再坐一会儿!”
“More?” the father said, mock-exasperated but clearly pleased. “You’re not tired?”
“再坐一会儿!”父亲嗔怪模仿着儿子的语调，“你还不累?”
“This is fun!” his son said.
“真好玩!”儿子说。
“All right,” the father replied, and when a door opened we all got on.
“好吧，”父亲说。车门开了，我们都上了车。
There are parents who can afford to send their children to Europe or Disneyland, and the children turn out rotten. There are parents who live in million-dollar houses and give their children cars and swimming pools, yet something goes wrong. Rich and poor, black and white, so much goes wrong so often.
我们很多父母有能力送孩子去欧洲，去狄斯尼乐园，可孩子还是堕落了。很多父母住豪华别墅，孩子有车有游泳池，可孩子还是学坏了。富人、穷人，黑人、白人，那么多人都轻易学坏了。
“Where are all these people going, Daddy?” the son asked.
“爸爸，这些人去哪?”儿子问。
“All over the world,” came the reply. The other people in the air port wee leaving for distant destinations or arriving at the ends of their journeys. The father and son, though, were just riding this shuttle together, making it exciting, sharing each other’s company.
“世界各地。”父亲回答。机场来来往往的人流或准备远行，或刚刚归来。这对父子却在乘坐区间列车，享受着父子间的亲情与陪伴。
So many troubles in this country – crime, the murderous soullessness that seems to be taking over the lives of many young people, the lowering of educational standards, the increase in vile obscenities in public, the disappearance of simple civility. So many questions about what to do. Here was a father who cared about spending the day with his son and who had come up with this plan on a Saturday morning.
我们正面临许多问题：犯罪、越来越多的年轻人变得冷漠无情、文化水平下降、公共场合卑劣猥亵上升、起码的礼貌丧失，等等。我们有那么多的问题要处理。而这里。这位父亲却很在意花上一天陪伴儿子，并在这样一个星期六的早上，提出这个计划。
The answer is so simple: parents who care enough to spend time, and to pay attention and to try their best. It doesn’t cost a cent, yet it is the most valuable thing in the world.
其实答案很简单：父母愿意花时间，愿意关注，愿意尽心尽职。这不要花一分钱，可这却是世间无价之宝。
The train picked up speed, and the father pointed something out, and the boy laughed again.
火车加速了。父亲指着窗外说着什么，儿子直乐。
英语美文 篇3
俗语云：“子不嫌母丑”，你小时候有没有过这样的经历，假如是妈妈对你说你哪一点做得不好，你可能会记仇很长很长时间，甚至都不会忘记，而你嫌弃的说自己母亲的缺点后，母亲却很快的就忘记了，因为假如你对母亲的爱是从地球到月亮那么多，母亲的爱却是从地球到月亮再从月亮回到地球还要多，她会原谅你的一切。
Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, shed lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
夜复一夜，她总是来帮我来盖被子，即使我早已长大。这是妈妈的长期习惯，她总是弯下身来，拨开我的长发，在我的额上一吻。
I dont remember when it first started annoying me —— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" She didnt say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words haunted me. But pride stifled my conscience, and I didnt tell her I was sorry.
我不记得从何时起，她拨开我的头发令我非常不耐烦。但的确，我讨厌她长期操劳、粗糙的手摩擦我细嫩的.皮肤。最后，一天晚上，我冲她叫： “别再这样了——你的手太粗糙了!”她什么也没说。但妈妈再也没有象这样对我表达她的爱。直到很久以后，我还是常想起我的那些话。但自尊占了上风，我没有告诉她我很后悔。
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mothers hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, hauntingly, in the back of my mind.
时光流逝，我又想到那个晚上。那时我想念我妈妈的手，想念她晚上在我额上的一吻。有时这幕情景似乎很近，有时又似乎很遥远。但它总是潜伏着，时常浮现，出现在我意识中。
Well, the years have passed, and Im not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. Shes been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girls stomach or soothe a boys scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…… gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could……and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.
一年年过去，我也不再是一个小女孩，妈妈也有70多岁了。那双我认为很粗糙的手依然为我和我家庭做着事。她是我家的医生，为我女儿在药橱里找胃药或在我儿子擦伤的膝盖上敷药。她能烧出世界上最美味的鸡…… 将牛仔裤弄干净而我却永远不能……而且可以在任何时候盛出冰激凌。
Through the years, my mothers hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before automatic washers!
这么多年来，妈妈的手做了多少家务!而且在自动洗衣机出现以前她已经操劳了绝大多数时间。
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.
现在，我的孩子都已经长大，离开了家。爸爸去世了，有些时候，我睡在妈妈的隔壁房间。一次感恩节前夕的深夜，我睡在年轻时的卧室里，一只熟悉的手有些犹豫地、悄悄地略过我的脸，从我额头上拨开头发，然后一个吻，轻轻地印在我的眉毛上。
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" Catching Moms hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought shed remember, as I did. But Mom didnt know what I was talking about. She had forgotten —— and forgiven —— long ago.
在我的记忆中，无数次，想起那晚我粗暴、年青的声音：“别再这样了——你的手太粗糙了!”抓住妈妈的手，我冲口而出因为那晚，我是多么后悔。我以为她想起来了，象我一样。但妈妈不知道我在说些什么。她已经在很久以前就忘了这事，并早就原谅了我。
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
那晚，我带着对温柔母亲和体贴双手的感激入睡。这许多年来我的负罪感已经消失无踪。
英语美文 篇4
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
有时，一些人一闯入你的生活你便知道他们本就想这么做，其中有着一定的目的——或给你一个教训，或帮助你明白你是谁或你要成为谁。你永远也不知道这些人会是谁，是你的舍友、邻居、教授、久违的朋友、爱人，甚或是一个完全的陌生人。当你与他们四目相对，你便知道他们会以某种深远的方式影响你的生活。
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
有时，一些事情发生了，它们看上去是那么可怕、痛苦和不公;但细想一下你就会明白，如果没有去努力克服这些难题，你将永远也不会知道自己的潜能、力量、意志力和内心。任何事情的发生都是有原因的，没有一件事是偶然发生的或是因了某种好运或厄运发生的。疾病、伤害、爱、真正的伟大的消逝和完全的愚蠢――所有这一切的发生都是对你的精神极限的考验。不管这考验是一些事件、疾病或是某种关系，没有了它们，生活都将只剩下阳光大道，安稳、舒适，但却单调、没有意义，不会通往任何地方。
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience - they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
你遇到的那些影响你的生活的人和你所经历的成功或失败，都会让你看清自己。即使是不好的.经历，也能让你从中得到教训。这些教训是最严酷的，但也可能是最重要的。
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
如果有人伤害了你、背叛了你、或让你心碎，原谅他们吧，因为他们帮助你懂得了什么是信任，也让你明白了对那些你敞开心扉交往的人保持谨慎的重要性。如果有人爱你，那么也无条件地爱他们吧，不光因为他们爱你，也因为他们教会了你如何去爱，如何打开心扉、张开眼睛去感受那些没有他们你便不能看到或感受到的世间的种种。
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
让每一天都过得有意义吧。享受生命中的每一刻，尽你所能从中汲取，因为以后你可能没有机会再有同样经历。
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you dont believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
与那些你从没打过招呼的人互相交谈聆听吧，让自己沐浴爱河吧，自由地冲破藩篱，让你的眼界更加高远吧。抬起你的头，因为你有权利这样做。相信自己，告诉自己你很了不起，因为如果连你自己都不相信自己，别人又怎能相信你?你能够按自己的意愿生活。去创造出自己的生活，然后走出来享受生活吧。
"People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."
人就像茶叶袋，只有放到热水中，你才能知道他们有多强大。
英语美文 篇5
While taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida a few weeks ago, I decided to tie up at Georgetown, South Carolina, for the night and visit with an old friend. As we approached the Esso dock, I saw him through my binoculars standing there awaiting us. Tall and straight as an arrow he stood, facing a cold, penetrating wind—truly a picture of a sturdy man, even though his next birthday will make him eighty-two. Yes, the man was our elder statesman, Bernard Baruch.
He loaded us into his station wagon and we were off to his famous Hobcaw Barony for dinner. We sat and talked in the great living room where many notables and statesmen, including Roosevelt and Churchill, have sat and taken their cues. In his eighty-second year, still a human dynamo, Mr. Baruch talks not of the past but of present problems and the future, deploring our ignorance of history, economics, and psychology. His only reference to the past was to tell me, with a wonderful sparkle in his eye, that he was only able to get eight quail out of the ten shots the day before. What is the secret of this great man’s value to the world at eighty-one? The answer is his insatiable desire to keep being productive.
Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material
prosperity were the chief requisite for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book, Genesis, which caught my eyes while I was thumbing through my Bible. The words were few, but they became indelibly impressed on my mind: “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread.”
To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections. In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

英语美文摘抄 篇6
When I was very small, I saw a very interesting music video in a shop. A white man wearing black suit and white gloves danced in a very strange way, just like walking in the moon. Later I figured out that he was the king of popular music, Michael Jackson. His music were really awesome and I listened to every song. The bad news came as one day I woke up and heard that he died, which was such shocking news for me. Today, still a lot of people couldn't believe this great musician has passed away. In my heart, Michael is the best singer ever, no one can replace him.
在我很小的时候，我在商店看到一个非常有趣的音乐视频。一个白人穿着黑色西装、戴着白色手套，他以一种十分奇怪的方式跳舞，就像走在月球上。后来我发现他是流行音乐之王，迈克尔杰克逊。他的音乐真的很棒，我听了每首歌。有一天我醒来，听到消息说他去世了，这对我来说真是令人震惊的新闻。今天，仍然有很多人不相信这个伟大的音乐家已经去世了。在我心中，迈克尔是最棒的歌手，没有人可以代替他的位置。

英语美文摘抄【3】
Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
青春
青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 、
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
天使英语美文 篇10
She shuffles up the steps with the last of her strength. Her pink sweatpants are tinged with brown, and her feet are buried in city-stained bunny slippers. Her eyes look like they’ve seen so much sadness they’re forever doomed to apathy. They are eyes dazed with the work it takes to stay warm, and weary of the excess of privileged people. I’m looking at those glass eyes and thinking that she reeks of survival; that I’m too cold to move, and all I’m doing is waiting for the first train home.
Out comes her wrinkled, begging hand. We turn out our pockets and find nothing. The mouth of the station swallows her descending, dejected frame.
Light another smoke. We are pushing reluctant time forward as it digs its heels in at the dusty smells and sounds of old stories, at the sucking of smoke, at our involuntary shivers.
She’s back again. The wrinkled hand, heavy with pleading, is now answering.
She drops four warm quarters into my palm and says, “Get yourselves a cup of coffee. Merry Christmas.”
The station gulps her up again before we can say thank you.

我是一个健康、活泼、可爱的小姑娘。圆圆的脸蛋上长着一双大大的眼睛，小小的鼻子，乌黑发亮的头发总是梳成马尾辫。每到夏天我的皮肤就被太阳公公晒成健康色，因为我特喜欢户外活动哟！说起我的爱好可多啦，怎么也少不了看书。我还有个秘密（其实就是心愿），学校门口有叫我们小朋友暑假一起去上课的那种培训班，我想去学跆拳道，可妈妈不会同意的，所以就成了秘密。
I am a healthy, lively and lovely girl. Round face has a pair of big eyes, a small nose, black and shiny hair always tied into a ponytail.

下课了，我和同学一起玩“抓人”的游戏。
After class, I played the game of "catching people" with my classmates.
开始，尚明站着，我们都蹲着。尚明数数，当他开始从1数时，我们都围着他跑，当数到20时，他开始“抓人”，首先抓到了郭文。郭文又抓到了周阳，周阳故意发愣了一会，眼一斜，瞥到了我，于是我赶快跑，但也没能跑过周阳的“魔掌”。这时就要上课了，我和同学向教室冲去。
At first, Shangming stood, we all squatted. Shangming counts. When he starts counting from 1, we all run around him. When he counts to 20, he begins to "catch people". First, he catches Guo Wen. Guo Wen catches Zhou Yang again. Zhou Yang is deliberately stupefied for a while. His eyes are slanted and he catches a glimpse of me. So I run fast, but I can't run past Zhou Yang's "magic palm". Now it's time for class. My classmates and I rush to the classroom.
这个游戏我们玩的真开心！
We had a good time playing this game!

经典英语美文 篇16
亲爱的亚利桑那：
My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck? And if so, how can I get more of it?
我的兄弟运气特别好，常有好事发生在他身上。你相信运气吗？如果真有运气，我怎样才能得到更多一些呢？
—Looking for Luck in Louisiana
——身在路易斯安那寻找好运的人
Dear Looking,
亲爱的运气寻觅者：
I was eating breakfast with one hand, petting my cat, Cow, with the other, and reading the back of the cereal box, when—“YOUCH!” I screamed. “Why’d you pinch me?”
我当时正一手吃早餐，一手爱抚着我的猫“牛牛”，同时在看燕麦片盒子背面的信息。就在这时——“哎呦”，我尖叫起来，“你干嘛捏我？”
“You’re not wearing green,” said my little brother, Tex. “Everyone knows you get pinched if you don’t wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day!”
“因为你没穿绿色衣服，”我的小弟弟特克斯说，“人人都知道如果在圣帕特里克节里不穿绿色衣服就会被捏！”
“It’s true,” said my little sister, Indi.
“这是真的！”我的小妹妹英蒂说。
I was mostly mad about getting pinched, but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick’s Day.
我对自己被掐感到非常生气，但有一点儿值得高兴的是，这提醒了我今天是圣帕特里克节。
I panicked. “What am I going to do? I don’t have time to change. I’ll get pinched all day long!”
我惊慌失措：“我该怎么办？我没时间换衣服了。一整天我都会被人捏的！”
“Well,” Tex said, taking the old green baseball cap off his head, “you could borrow my lucky hat.”
“好吧，”特克斯从他头上摘下那顶绿色的旧棒球帽，说，“你可以借我的幸运帽。”
“But it’s your favorite!” I said.
“但它可是你的最爱。”我说。
“I know,” said Tex. “Just promise to give it back after school.”
我知道，”特克斯说，“只要你答应放学后还给我就行了。”
“No problem,” I said, glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. “I look like a goofball in this thing!”
“没问题，”我说。出门前，我照了照镜子。“戴上这个东西，我看上去就像个傻瓜！”
“A lucky goofball!” said Tex.
“一个幸运的傻瓜！”特克斯说。
“Hum.” I grabbed my backpack. “Thanks, I think.”
“嗯，”我抓起书包说道，“好吧，谢谢。”
Now, before I go on, you should know that I’m not an overly superstitious person. I don’t believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. I definitely don’t freak out if a black cat crossees my path. And when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers and lucky pennies, I just never believed in them.
说到这里，你要知道我不是个极其迷信的人。我不认为13是个倒霉的数字，或者打碎镜子会带来7年的厄运。我决不会因为一只黑猫在我面前走过而被吓坏，也决不会相信诸如幸运四叶草、幸运便士这类东西。
Anyway, I was racing to catch the school bus, and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept stepping on the poor thing, so I decided to rescue it. I’d found pennies and nickels before, but never a dollar! Then, I didn’t miss the bus, because the bus was even later than me—which never happens!
不管怎样，当我正拼命追赶校车 时，我看到人行道上有张一美元的钞票！我环顾四周，看看有没人在找它，可人们都相继踩过这个可怜的家伙，所以我决定营救它。以前我捡过便士和镍币，可从没 发现过一美元的钞票。随后，我没有错过校车，因为校车甚至比我还晚到——这是从未发生过的！
My luck didn’t stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said, “You guys know that test isn’t till tomorrow, right?”
我的运气并未就此打住。卡洛斯和杰克逊刚好坐在我后面，正相互考单词拼写。我转过头去，说：“你们知道明天才测验，对吗？”
“It got switched to this morning,” said Jackson. “Remember? There’s some assembly tomorrow. ”
“已经改到今天早上了。”杰克逊说，“记得吗？明天有个大会要开。”
“That’s right. I totally forgot!” I said. “I’m so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have found out till it was too late!” I got out my spelling words, studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test!
“对哦。我忘得一干二净！”我说，“坐在你们前面我多么幸运啊。不然，到我发现已经晚了。”我拿出要考的单词表来，去学校的一路上，我都在复习。最终，我考了个好成绩。
The minute I got home, I gave Tex a gigantic hug.
一回到家，我就给特克斯一个大大的拥抱。
“This is the luckiest hat in the world,” I said. “I’m never taking it off!”
“这是世界上最幸运的`帽子。”我说，“我永远都不取下来了！”
“But you promised to give it back!” said Tex.
“但你答应过要还给我的。”特克斯说。
“I know, but…” I pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. “I think it’s stuck.”
“我知道，但是……”我假装试图把帽子摘下来，“我想它粘住了。”
“It is not!” said Tex.
“没有！”特克斯说。
“Please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!” I begged.
“求求你把你的幸运帽借我再用一天。”我请求道。
“Tomorrow I’m auditioning for the school play, and I need every bit of help I can get.”
“明天我要参加学校话剧表演的选角面试，我需要得到所有帮助。”
“OK,” said Tex. “One more day. But you’d better be really nice to me.”
“好吧，”特克斯说，“再借一天。但你最好真得对我好点。”
“I will,” I agreed. “In fact, here you can have my lucky dollar!” Tex let out a whoop, then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.
“我会的，”我同意道，“这样，我这张幸运美元给你！”特克斯欢呼了一声，接着，他一边在空中挥舞着他的礼物，一边开始在四周跳起舞来。
The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn’t have gone better.
第二天，我的运气棒极了。我的试演再好不过了。
“Wow, Arizona!” said my friend Mareya. “I can’t believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!”
“哇，亚利桑那！”我的朋友玛瑞娅说，“你刚刚的表演太令人吃惊了，我简直不敢相信！你肯定可以在这部话剧里演主角！”
“Thanks! You did really great, too!” I said. “But honestly, the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat.”
“谢谢！你也表演得很棒！”我回答道，“不过，老实说，我表演好全因为我有一顶幸运帽。”
“What lucky hat?” asked Mareya.
“什么幸运帽？”玛瑞娅问。
“This one,” I said, reaching into my backpack, where I thought I’d put Tex’s hat since I couldn’t wear it for the audition. But it wasn’t there! “Oh no!” I cried. “It’s gone! What am I going to tell Tex?”
“就是这个，”我边说边把手伸进书包里，我以为我把特克斯的帽子放在书包里了，因为我不能戴着它表演。但帽子不在里面！“哦，不！”我喊道，“它不见了！我怎么跟特克斯交代啊？”
Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily, we found Tex’s hat in my locker. Also luckily, I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.
玛瑞娅也帮我找，幸运的是，我们发现原来帽子放在我的储物柜里了。同样幸运的是，我发现无论戴不戴那顶落入我手中让我看起来滑稽可笑的帽子，我都会有好运。
“So it wasn’t the hat,” said Mareya. “This is just a wild guess, but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month.”
“所以，并不是因为那顶帽子，”玛瑞娅说，“那不过是瞎猜罢了。也许那是你过去一个月里刻苦练习的结果。”
“Hmm,” I said. “It’s possible.”
“嗯，”我说，“可能是！”
So, dear Looking, I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared, believing in yourself…and maybe just a tiny bit of magic!In other words, luck may come your way, but you have to be ready for it when it does!
所以，亲爱的运气寻觅者，我想你可以说幸运是这样一个组合——做好准备，相信自己……也许再加上一点点的魔法！换言之，幸运也许正向你走来，但在它降临时，你得做好准备！
Ciao for now.
写到这里。再见。

上二年级了，妈妈说：“这么大了，一个人洗澡了吧！”我说：“好吧。”
In the second grade, my mother said, "it's so big. Let's take a bath alone!" I said, "OK."
男孩子洗澡先洗头，洗完头往身上浇点水，摸上滑溜溜的沐浴露，就开始搓澡。背上搓不到的地方，爸爸告诉我说，把毛巾搞成长条，一只手拿一边，在背上象拉锯子一样拉来拉去。这样，从头到脚都洗得干干净净了。
Boys wash their hair first. After washing their heads, they pour some water on their bodies. After touching the slippery bath gel, they begin to scrub. Where I can't rub it on my back, my father told me to make a long towel, take one hand to one side, and pull it back and forth like a saw. In this way, the head to the feet are washed clean.
有一次妈妈给我穿衣服说：“你身上怎么滑溜溜的？”“不会吧？”我嘻笑着说。
Once my mother dressed me and said, "how do you skate?" "No?" I said with a smile.

The gap became bigger and bigger, gradually became the moon sickle, eyebrows, and finally became the king's diamond ring. It gradually moved forward, as if the Jade Emperor was looking at us.

今天，我和妈妈去爬我们这里最高的山——佘湖山。
Today, my mother and I went to climb Shehu mountain, the highest mountain here.
一大早，我和妈妈一起从家里跑步出发，跑了好久，终于跑到山顶上了。我们拿出望远镜，东看看，西看看，可怎么也看不到我们的家，但是，看到了我们城市的全景，那些房子都变小了，真有趣！
Early in the morning, my mother and I started running together from home, ran for a long time, and finally reached the top of the mountain. We took out our binoculars, looked east and West, but we couldn't see our home. But when we saw the panorama of our city, the houses were smaller. It was so interesting!
我喜欢爬山，因为爬山不仅可以锻炼身体，还可以在山上呼吸新鲜空气，看看山上的花草。
I like mountain climbing because it can not only exercise, but also breathe fresh air and look at the flowers on the mountain.
今天，我真开心！
Today, I am so happy!

夏天到了，我家的葡萄成熟了。葡萄营养丰富，能清凉解渴。
It's summer. My grapes are ripe. The grape is rich in nutrition and can cool and quench thirst.

I like to eat my grapes.
英语美文摘抄 篇21
during a research experiment a marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank.
在一个研究实验中，一个海洋生物学家把一条鲨鱼放进一个大的水箱中，然后投放了一些小的诱饵鱼进去。
as you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish.
你可能已经预料到了，鲨鱼快速地在水箱里四处游动，攻击并吃掉了那些较小的鱼。
the marine biologist then ed a strong piece of clear fiberglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions. she then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of bait fish on the other.
然后海洋生物学家将一面强韧的透明纤维玻璃插入到容器中，创建了两个单独的分区。然后，她把鲨鱼放在纤维玻璃的一边，另一边是一组新的诱饵鱼。
again, the shark quickly attacked. this time, however, the shark slammed into the fiberglass divider and bounced off. undeterred, the shark kept repeating this behavior every few minutes to no avail. meanwhile, the bait fish swam around unharmed in the second partition. eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up.
再次，鲨鱼迅速攻击。然而，这一次，鲨鱼撞上了玻璃纤维隔板并被弹了回来。每隔几分钟，鲨鱼就不信邪地重复这徒劳的行为。同时，那些作为诱饵的鱼在另一个区域里毫发无伤地游来游去。最后，经过大约一个小时的实验，鲨鱼放弃了。
this experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks. each time, the shark got less aggressive and made fewer attempts to attack the bait fish, until eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether.
在接下来的几个星期里，这个实验重复了几十次。每一次，鲨鱼的攻击性都变得更弱，并较少尝试攻击诱饵鱼，直到最终鲨鱼厌倦了冲击纤维玻璃隔板，并完全停止攻击。
the marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn’t attack. the shark was trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the bait fish, so the bait fish swam wherever they wished, free from harm.
海洋生物学家然后拿走了纤维玻璃隔板，但鲨鱼没有攻击。鲨鱼被训练得相信了它和诱饵之间存在一道屏障，所以鱼儿游到任何地方，都不会受伤害。
the moral: many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying. like the shark in the story, we believe that because we were unsuccessful in the past, we will always be unsuccessful. in other words, we continue to see a barrier in our heads, even when no ‘real’ barrier exists between where we are and where we want to go.
寓意：我们中的许多人，在经历挫折和失败后，会从情感上选择放弃，并停止尝试。好比这个故事中的鲨鱼，因为过去失败过，所以就觉得永远不会成功。换句话说，我们经常会在我们的脑中看到一个障碍，即使我们所在的位置和我们想要达到的位置之间并没有“真正的”障碍。
英语美文摘抄 篇22
on beauty
美
where shall you seek beauty, and how shall you find her unless she herself be your way and your guide? and how shall you speak of her except she be the weaver of your speech?
如果美不以自身为途径，为向导，你们又到哪里去找她，又怎么能找到她呢？如果她不是你们言语的编织者，你们又如何能谈论她呢？
the aggrieved and the injured say, "beauty is kind and gentle. like a young mother half-shy of her own glory she walks among us."
伤心痛苦者说：“美是善良而温柔的。她像一位因自己的荣耀而半含羞涩的年轻母亲，走在我们的身边。”
and the passionate say, "nay, beauty is a thing of might and dread. like the tempest she shakes the earth beneath us and the sky above us."
热情奔放者说：“不，美是强烈而令人惊畏的。她如暴风雨般震动我们脚下的大地，摇撼我们头上的天空。”
the tired and the weary say, "beauty is of soft whisperings. she speaks in our spirit. her voice yields to our silences like a faint light that quivers in fear of the shadow."
疲惫怠倦者说：“美是温柔的低语，她在我们的心中诉说。她的声音波动在我们的沉默中，犹如一道微弱的光在对阴影的恐惧中颤抖。”
but the restless say, "we have heard her shouting among the mountains, and with her cries came the sound of hoofs, and the beating of wings and the roaring of lions."
但活泼好动者说：“我们曾听到她在山谷中大声呼叫，随其呐喊而来的是足蹄踏地、翅膀拍击和雄狮怒吼的声音。”
at night the watchmen of the city say, "beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east."
夜晚，城市的守夜人说：“美将与晨光一同从东方升起。”
and at noon-time the toilers and the wayfarers say, "we have seen her leaning over the earth from the windows of the sunset."
正午，辛勤劳作者和长途跋涉者说：“我们曾看到她透过黄昏之窗眺望大地。”
in winter say the snow-bound, "she shall come with the spring leaping upon the hills."
严冬，困在风雪中的.人说：“她将与春同至，雀跃于山峦之间。”
and in the summer heat the reapers say, "we have seen her dancing with the autumn leaves, and we saw a drift of snow in her hair."
酷暑，收割庄稼的人说：“我们曾看到她与秋叶共舞，雪花点缀于她的发梢。”
all these things have you said of beauty, yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied, and beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. it is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, but rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. it is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, but rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. it is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw, but rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
你们谈到关于美的所有这些，实际并非关于她本身，而是关于你们未被满足的需求，但美并不是一种需求，而是 心醉神迷的欣喜。她不是焦渴的唇，也不是伸出的空空的手，而是一颗燃烧的心，一个充满喜悦的灵魂。她不是你们想看到的形象，也不是你们想听到的歌声，而是 你们闭上眼睛看到的形象，堵住耳朵听到的歌声。她不是伤残树皮下的树液，也不是悬在利爪下的翅膀。而是一座鲜花永远盛开的花园，一群永远在天空飞翔的天使。
beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
当生命摘去遮盖她圣洁面容的面纱时，美就是生命。
英语短篇美文 篇23
Work, Labor, and Play 工作、劳作和娱乐
By Wystan Hugh Auden
So far as I know, Miss Hannah Arendt was the first person to define the essential difference between work and labor. To be happy, a man must feel, firstly, free and, secondly, important. He cannot be really happy if he is compelled by society to do what he does not enjoy doing, or if what he enjoys doing is ignored by society as of no value or importance. In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been abolished, the sign that what a man does is of social value is that he is paid money to do it, but a laborer today can rightly be called a wage slave. A man is a laborer if the job society offers him is of no interest to himself but he is compelled to take it by the necessity of earning a living and supporting his family.
据我所知，汉纳?阿伦特小姐是第一个给予工作和劳作之间本质区别的人。一个人要高兴，首先要感到自由，其次是感到重要。如果他被社会强迫做他不愿做的事，或者他喜欢做的事被社会忽视，被认为无价值和不重要，他就不会真正高兴。在一个从严格意义上来说奴隶制已被废除的社会里，一个人所做的事情具有社会价值的樗是他的工作得到了报酬。但今天的劳动者可以恰当地称为薪金的`奴隶。如果他对社会提供给他的工作不感兴趣，但出于谋生和养家而被迫接受，这个人就称为劳作者。
The antithesis to labor is play. When we play a game, we enjoy what we are doing, otherwise we should not play it, but it is a purely private activity; society could not care less whether we play it or not.
与劳作相对的是玩，当玩耍时我们在享受，否则是不会去玩的，不过这纯粹是私人活动，社会对你玩或不玩是极不关心的。
英语短篇美文 篇24
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的.恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
英语短篇美文 篇25
Nature and Art自然与艺术
By James Abbott McNeill Whistler
Nature contains the elements, in colour and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music.
无论从色彩还是形状来讲，大自然都蕴涵着所有的绘画成分，就如同键盘包含着所有音乐的音符一样。
But the artist is born to pick, and choose, and group with science, these elements, that the result may be beautiful 8211; as the musician gathers his notes, and forms his chords, until he brings forth from chaos glorious harmony.
而艺术家天生便具有这种才华，从这些成分加以选择，并巧妙的结合起来，绘一幅美丽的画卷。这就好比是音乐家从无序的声音中选择音符，形成自己的和弦之音，创作出优美和谐的乐章。
To say to the painter, that Nature is to be taken as she is, is to say to the player, that he may sit on the piano .., The dignity of the snow-capped mountain is lost in distinctness, but the joy of the tourist is to recognize the traveller on the top. The desire to see, for the sake of seeing, is, with the mass, alone the one to be gratified, hence the delight in detail.
如果说画家是以大自然的本貌去创作，那么对于演奏家而言，他便可以坐在钢琴旁了……高山巍立，白雪皑皑，却因过于清晰而失去了威严，然而攀爬者却因能一睹登颠者之风采而独享一份乐趣。与众人登高一望，满足极目远眺之愿，然乐趣却也只体现在一睹细枝末节罢了。
And when the evening mist clothes the riverside with poetry, as with a veil, and the poor buildings lose themselves in the dim sky, and the tall chimneys become campanili, and the warehouses are palaces in the night, and the whole city hangs in the heavens, and fairy-land is before us 8211; then the wayfarer hastens home; the working man and the cultured one, the wise man and the one of pleasure, cease to understand, as they have ceased to see, and Nature, who, for once, has sung in tune, sings her exquisite song to the artist alone, her son and her master 8211; her son in that he loves her, her master in that he knows her.
傍晚，诗般迷雾如面纱笼罩溪边，破旧的`房屋隐遁于昏暗的夜色中，高耸的烟囱好似一座座钟楼，间间库房宛如夜里的宫殿，整座城市悬于天宇，一切如仙境般呈现在我们眼前。此时，旅人疾步踏归途;而无论是劳动者，有学识者，智者，还是享乐之人，均因再看不见这一切而无顿悟。曾经歌唱的大自然，此刻只为艺术家吟唱美妙的旋律，他既是她的儿子也是她的主人——爱而为其子，知而为其主。
To him her secrets are unfolded; to him her lessons have become gradually clear. He looks at her flower, not with the enlarging lens, that he may gather facts for the botanist, but with the light of the one who sees in her choice selection of brilliant tones and delicate tints, suggestions of future harmonies.
为艺术家，大自然展示着她的奥秘;也只因他，其内涵才渐渐得以显现。艺术家对花的观察，不是用植物学家收集实证的放大镜，而是用一屡光，透过它便可以看到由灿烂的色调及美妙的色彩所将描绘出的和谐画面。
He does not confine himself to purposeless copying, without thought, each blade of grass, as commended by the inconsequent, but, in the long curve of the narrow leaf, corrected by the straight tall stem, he learns how grace is wedded to dignity, how strength enhances sweetness, that elegance shall be the result.
他不会像那些于此不搭调的人那样，不假思索，毫无目的地誊摹每一片叶子;相反地，他却从卷曲的叶脉和细长的茎干中，领略到其庄严中透着优雅，力量中透着甜美，最终创作出高雅美妙的作品。
In the citron wing of the pale butterfly, with its dainty spots of orange, he sees before him the stately halls of fair gold, with their slender saffron pillars, and is taught how the delicate drawing high upon the walls shall be traced in tender tones of orpiment, and repeated by the base in notes of graver hue.
一只浅色的蝴蝶，柚色的翅膀上嵌有精美的橘色斑点，而呈现在他眼前的却是金碧辉煌的殿堂上竖着细长金黄立柱，并意识到那誊于高墙上的精美画卷，是以柔和的雄黄色配以更淡的底色描绘而成。
In all that is dainty and lovable he finds hints for his own combinations, and thus is Nature ever his resource and always at his service, and to him is naught refused.
所有的这些精美可爱的色彩都给予他创作的灵感。大自然成了他创作的源泉，为他服务，无丝毫拒绝。
英语美文摘抄 篇26
the goodness of life
though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.
for every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion.
for every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
there is goodness to life that cannot be denied.
in the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.
there si no limit to the goodness of life. it grows more abundant with each new encounter. the more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on. open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.
though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. for in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure.
and so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away.
around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.
take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. then, share your good fortune with another.
for the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.
though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning than ever before.
生命美好
尽管有很多事让人忧虑，但相比而言，值得感激事要多得多。尽管生命美好有时被蒙上阴影，但它却永远不会被埋没。
相对于每一个无谓破坏行为而言，都有更多数以千计更为微小，包含着爱，友善和同情举动静静地上演着。相对于每一个试图伤害他人人而言，都有更多人致力于帮助他人，治愈他人创伤。
生命美好不能否认。
在最为壮观前景和最为琐碎细节中，()请仔细观察，因为美好事物总是散发着耀眼光芒闪亮登场。
生命美好没有界限。每一次相遇都会使这美好变得越发丰富。你经历得越多，越能欣赏生命美好，生命中美好就会变得越多。
即使当寒风袭来，整个世界似乎被雾气掩盖之时，生命美好仍会存在。睁开双眼，打开心扉，你就会发现这美好无处不在。
尽管生命美好有时似乎遭受挫折，但它总会挺过来。因为，在最黑暗时刻，有一点变得格外清楚，那就是，生命是无价财富。因此，下正是与生命美好相对立事物使其越发强大。
无数次地，当你担心这美好已经远离之时，你会发现生命美好其实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着给你惊喜。
花些时间让生命美好感动自己灵魂，放松自己思绪。然后，把你幸运与他人分享。因为生命美好会在每次给予之间变得越来越壮观。
尽管总是有问题让你去关注，冲突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命美好却总是静静地，平和地，带着比以往更强意志和更多价值变得更加强大。
的英语美文 篇27
大学英语教育不仅具有掌握语言基础的工具性功能，也具有帮助学生开阔视野、增长知识、走进世界文化的人文性功能，所以，大学英语教学应该注重培养学生的国际文化知识与素质。文学经典是一个民族文化的精华，也是承载民族文化与民族精神的重要载体，在大学英语教学中引导学生阅读理解英美文学经典，是学习西方民族地理历史、政治经济及社会文化的重要方式，也是帮助学生辨别是非善恶、净化心灵、塑造自我的有效途径。本文将结合案例详细分析将英美文学经典融入大学英语教学的重要作用與具体路径。
一、英美文学经典融入大学英语教学的重要价值
（一）有利于增强学生阅读兴趣
具体生动的语言环境是学生记忆与理解词汇及其用法的重要途径。英美文学经典中有许多精彩的语言片段、透彻的生存哲理、独具特色的风土人情与文化，这都能够有效减少强硬记忆单词的单调与枯燥，能够激发学生的阅读与学习兴趣。同时，大量阅读英美文学经典，不仅可以增加阅读量，拓宽阅读视野，还可以通过接触地道的英美语言材料学习到阅读教材难以遇到的灵活生动的语言表达，这些极具魅力的语言风格有助于学生更加深入地体会英语的魅力，提高其语言欣赏能力与应用能力。
（二）有利于培养学生思辫能力
阅读的深度与广度会显著影响学生的思辨能力。首先，英美文学经典中渗透的西方文化与我国传统东方文化有很大的差异，不同文化背景产生了认知、思维、价值观念等方面的差异，不同的英美文学作家的认知、思维与价值观念也不尽相同。所以，广泛阅读英美文学经典有助于学生感受不同文化背景，不同的认知、思维与价值观念的碰撞和交流，不仅可以有效培养学生的思辨能力，也可以拓宽学生认识问题的方式与解决问题的渠道。其次，教师在引导学生学习英美文学经典的过程中，也应该侧重学生思辨能力的培养。教师要设置学生提问环节，允许学生阐述阅读的困惑与问题，还要鼓励学生积极回答教师与其他学生提出的问题，鼓励学生与作者、与老师、与其他同学具有持有不同的观点，使学生们根据文本进行辩论，检查、纠正或完善自身或他人的观点。这种由阅读到问题再到深入阅读的参与式课堂，是培养学生思辨能力的有效途径。
（三）有利于提高学生思想道德修养
文学往往具有潜移默化的道德教育功能，能够使人在阅读过程中理解、体会、感悟文章中渗透的处事哲理或价值观念，由此可以教人辨别是非善恶、净化心灵、塑造自我。英美文学经典擅于用尖锐细腻的笔触描绘人们遭遇的伦理道德困境，有利于大学生实现自我认同与实现、树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观。例如叶芝在其名作《当你老了》中描写了一份重精神轻外表的执着爱情，对当代大学生树立健康的爱情观具有教育意义。鲍勃·迪伦在《答案在风中飘扬》中表达了渴望和平抵制战争的愿望与抗争，激励着无数反战人士奋斗不止。
二、英美文学经典融入大学英语教学的具体路径
（一）重新编订大学英语的教学大纲
我国针对大学英语专业的英语教学编订的大纲规定，文学课程要有助于提高学生的阅读、赏析、理解、体会英语文学作品的能力，增强学生的基本语言功底、国际文化知识与人文素养。大学生应该具备基本的英语语言能力与国际文化知识，所以非英语专业的英语教学大纲也应该尽量参照英语专业的教学大纲进行重新编订。这就要求大学英语教学打破传授语言技能的限制，重视文学阅读在提高教学效果上的重要功能，通过阅读英美文学经典的方式，扩大学生的词汇量和阅读面，提升英语阅读理解能力，积累人文社科知识。
（二）选编融入英美文学经典的教材
课堂是大学英语教学的主要平台，教材则是大学英语教学的主要学习资料。要实现提高英语文学作品阅读能力的教学目标，就必须选择与教学目标相辅相成的教材。所以，大学英语课程应该编入适当的英美文学经典。首先，选编英文作品的篇幅与难度要适中，使可读性与挑战性兼具。其次，选编英文作品的体裁要多样，如诗歌、日记、书信、戏剧、短篇小说以及合适的长篇小说节选等。最后，选编英文作品的内容要健康、高雅、富有教育意义与艺术价值。
三、结语
英美文学经典的阅读与学习不仅有利于增强学生阅读兴趣、培养思辫能力、还有利于提高学生的思想道德修养。英美文学经典融入大学英语教学的具体途径有重新编订大学英语的教学大纲、选编融入英美文学经典的教材、开设阅读英美文学经典的拓展课程、改善大学英语教学模式等。
的英语美文 篇28
长期以来，中学英语课已窄化为英语知识的单一讲授与识记，丰富生动的语言知识变成单词、语法、句型等枯燥的知识点。经典英美文学作品能深刻表现出社会精神和人文情怀的特点，生动展示人类活动的变迁和发展。在英语教学中运用经典英美文学作品，通过其中蕴含的丰富的思想、强烈的情感、优美的文字描述，可使学生感知“有思想”的英语、“有情感”的英语、“有文化”的英语，感知英语之中跃动着的生命。笔者将从应用的必要性、应用原则与方法技巧等三个方面，探究一下经典英美文学作品在中学英语教学中的应用。
一、英语教学中应用经典英美文学作品的必要性
（一）新课标的内在要求
英语教学是全面提升学生综合素质、开阔学生国际视野的重要教学内容，也是现实升学考试中的必考科目，因此得到了社会广泛的关注。新课改标准是国家对基础教育的基本规范和要求。在20xx年国家教育部颁布的新的普通高中英语课程标准中明确提出：“就人文性而言，英语课程承担着提高学生综合人文素养的任务，即学生通过英语课程能够开阔视野，丰富生活经历，发展跨文化意识，促进创新思维，形成良好品格和正确价值观，为终身学习奠定基础。”掌握英语知识不是英语课的唯一目标也不是最终目标，而是全面提高人文素养的基础和载体。我们可以借助经典英美文学作品丰满的“血肉”来调动学生的主动性和积极性。并通过引导，使学生能够举一反三，联系实际，激发其研究兴趣和主动研究的精神。
（二）经典英美文学作品的人文价值
不管是何种文学题材，何种文学载体，文学作品在一定程度上都能够反映现实的生活，都是一定社会生活在人脑中反应的产物。经典英美文学作品之所以能够成为“经典”，是因为它能够生动地揭示和展现当代的社会生活风貌和英语的时代精神，具有枯燥的文章无法替代的作用。英语教学不仅仅是让学生记忆大量的单词、熟悉语法，还需要培养学生英语学习的兴趣和自学的能力，更为重要的是体会英语作为一种语言背后所蕴含的文化。经典的文学作品既有丰富的语言知识，更代表那个阶段文学的素养与成就，也反映了一个民族最深处的精神文化，这种人文价值是深层语言学习所要重点培养的内容。
二、英语教学引入经典英美文学作品的原则
（一）充分性原则
在使用经典英美文学作品时，我们应坚持充分使用教材原则，这是一个前提条件。根据新课标的要求，现版的中学英语教科书在每一单元每一章节都会有一个导入语。这些内容并不是装饰可有可无。这些经典英美文学作品都具有典型性、生动且简明扼要。教师在教学中一定要加以重视，好好利用，而不是将其视为点缀。通过文学作品的描写和充分的讲解，会让学生有一种身临其境的感觉。且通俗易懂，可以很好地帮助学生理解当时的生活状态，帮助学生理解作品。
（二）规范性原则
英语不是文学，更不等同于文学。英语是一种语言，是人类描述世界、解释世界、相互交流的媒介。我们学习英语的目的就是要扩展跨文化沟通、向世界讲述中国。经典英美文学作品虽然也能反映英语一些语法和语言习惯，但其中必有一定的夸张性、时代性和价值性。这与语言的规范性要求有一定的差距，因此不能将文学作品中的语言直接作为语言教学的内容。否则容易引起学生对规范英语语法的掌握。
（三）適度性原则
经典英美文学作品有很强的文化价值，但并不是说所有的经典英美文学作品都有语言学习价值。文学可以作为英语教学的辅助工具，但绝不能等同和混淆。也不是所有的英语课都必须使用经典英美文学作品。与其用得不当不好还不如不用，以免起到事倍功半的效果。这就要求教师在运用时掌握好一个度。特别是要考虑中学生的年龄特征和认知水平。要注意所选经典英美文学作品的难易程度，循序渐进。避免过于深奥和艰涩的古典英美文学作品，尽量选择通俗易懂的，富有代表特征的，这样教师就不必在解释内容上浪费时间了。
（四）发展性原则
经典英美文学作品是一个时代文化的反映，代表当时的作家对所处社会环境的反思，是语言教学的重要内容。要想将文学更好地应用在英语教学中，这就要求教师不但要有较深厚的文学积淀，还要能运用生动的语言，吸引学生在阅读文献的时候得到美的享受。做到这点并不容易，这就要求我们的中学英语教师平时要严格要求自己，多增加在这方面的了解和涉猎，多读一些经典欧美文学作品。能够选用恰当的经典欧美文学作品应用到英语教学中来。将文学作品的时代性与语言学习的时代性充分融合，发展英美文学作品的语言功能，弱化文学作品中不符合时代感的内容。
三、英语教学中经典英美文学作品的应用技巧
（一）用文学作品开篇吸引同学注意力
一节好的英语课不仅是要将知识传授给学生，更要引导学生对英语产生兴趣。笔者认为首先好的.开头是十分必要的。一个精彩的导入，会使得这节课生动、充满兴趣，能够引起学生的好奇心和学习的积极性与主动性，点燃他们的求知欲，达到良好的互动效果。俗话说万事开头难。一个好的开头，一堂课也就成功了一半。那么如何才能做到引人入胜，精彩又充满知识呢？首先，我们应考虑到我们的教学对象——活泼好动充满好奇心的中学生。兴趣是最好的老师，也是激发学生积极性的有效方法。在导入新课的时候可以采用多媒体教学。比如在讲到课文的时候，可以先讲一段英文小诗，吸引一下学生的注意力。再让学生分析这首小诗如何翻译更美妙，顺势导出要讲的内容将学生们引入本课的正课学习。当然好的导入不仅仅局限于某种形式，只要是能突出本课的中心，符合课程的要求，我们都应该大胆尝试。
（二）课前充分准备，知识点巧妙引入
很多中学英语教师对经典欧美文学作品的认识还是停留在小说的范畴，事实上诗歌、戏剧、演讲稿、散文等在社会文学作品传播力方面影响更大，可能更为学生所熟知。因此，在英语教学中引入经典文学作品要进行充分的准备，不能生搬硬套，各教学环节要进行充分的设计，让学生们了解、认可、熟悉，进而达到促进英语语言学习的目的。作为授课教师，只有做到自己能够熟练于心，步步为营，力求稳中有变，才能将经典欧美文学作品在英语教学中发挥最大的效力。这就要求在備课时我们要将每一个环节都想到最细，精心地设计好每一个问题和情景。要把握课堂的氛围，烘托课堂气氛，引起认知矛盾，激发学生的好奇心，力求充分发挥学生的想象力。做到稳中有变，并把可能产生问题的概率降到最低。
（三）借助经典英美文学作品创设教学英语情境
英语教育要真正给人以智慧和启迪，使学生成为有情操、会思考的人才，而不是一个小型的英文字典。根据中学英语教材的特点，在正课的授受中，我们应积极为教学创设情境，激发学生想象，帮助理解教材。这时经典英美文学作品就成了一个很好的帮手。受篇幅所限，英语教材很多地方缺乏充分反映社会生活的素材，教师应该尽可能通过各种手段展现人类进程中丰富的英语文化，多角度认识人类社会发展的脉搏，通过文化理解课文中的人物所思、所想，进而熟悉语言在文化反应中的作用。
（四）利用经典英美文学作品的思想感情来升华英语文化接受度
在《全日制普通高中英语教学大纲》和“新课程标准”中都强调要让学生通过对英语知识的学习，形成开放包容的性格，发展跨文化交流的意识与能力，促进思维发展，形成正确的价值观和良好的人文素养。教师在讲完某一章节时，往往都会布置一些课后的练习题让学生们去做，以求巩固知识点。但效果往往不尽如人意。所以，一节好的英语课不仅要包括精彩的开篇，引人入胜的课堂流程，最后的升华情节也是必不可少的。它不但可以帮助学生加深对本课的理解，更能培养学生的自学能力，加强对一些难点、重点的揣摩。通过文学作品，帮助学生更深刻理解课文内容，让学生在经典英美文学作品中寻找英语的脉搏，提高英语语言的使用程度和文化的接受度，达到跨文化交流的能力。
（五）对经典英美文学作品进行批判性的反思
初中学生还处于感性阶段，对待事物往往还停留在事物的表象，而且不太习惯在大的英语背景下进行分析和思考。教师就可以借助经典英美文学作品帮助学生加以理解。但是文学是意识形态的一个重要的组成部分，也有一定的阶级倾向，在一定程度上反映作者的文化情感和价值取向。这些价值取向和人文精神有些与今天我国的国情不相符合。在课堂上使用这些文学作品进行教学的时候，要对其进行批判性的反思，防止不良价值观念对心智尚不成熟的青年学生造成危害。同时引导学生树立社会主义核心价值观，培养学生形成系统性的逻辑思维。
英语美文摘抄 篇29
it was a beautiful letter， but there was no way， except for the name michael， to identify the owner. maybe if i called information， the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope. the operator suggested i speak with her supervisor， who hesitated for a moment， then said， "well， there is a phone listing at that address， but i can't give you the number. " she said as a courtesy， she would call that number， explain my story and ask whoever answered if the person wanted her to connect me.
这是一封精美的信，但是除了迈克尔的名字以外，没有其他办法确定皮夹的主人。或许询问信息台，话务员可以通过信封上的住址查到电话。话务员建议我和她的负责人说，那位负责人犹豫了一会儿，然后说：嗯，“有那个住址的电话号码，但我不能给你。”她说出于礼貌，她可以打那个电话，说明我的情况后，看接电话的人是否愿意让她再与我联系。
i waited a few minutes and then the supervisor was back on the line. "i have a party who will speak with you. " i asked the woman on the other end of the line if she knew anyone by the name of hannah. she gasped. " oh！ we bought this house from a family who had a daughter named hannah. but that was thirty years ago！" "would you know where that family could be located now?"
i asked. "i remember that hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home some years ago， "the woman said. "maybe if you got in touch with them， they might be able to track down the daughter. "she gave me the name of the nursing home， and i called the number. the woman on the phone told me the old lady had passed away some years ago， but the nursing home did have a phone number for where the daughter might be living. i thanked the person at the nursing home and phoned the number she gave me. the woman who answered explained that hannah herself was now living in a nursing home. this whole thing is stupid， i thought to myself. why am i making such a big deal over finding the owner of a wallet that has only three dollars and a letter that is almost sixty years old?
我等候了几分钟，然后那位负责人回到线上：“有一位女士将会和你说。”我问电话另一端的女士，她是否认识一个叫汉娜的人。她吃惊地说：“哦！我们从一户人家买来这栋房子，他们家的女儿叫汉娜。但已经是30年前的事了！”“你知道那户人家现在可能住在哪里吗？”
我追问。“我记得汉娜数年以前将她的母亲送到一家养老院，”女人说，“如果你和他们联系，他们可能会找到她女儿。”她给了我养老院的名字，我拨通了电话。电话中的女人告诉我老妇人数年前就已经过世，但是养老院确实有个电话号码，老妇人的女儿可能住在那里。我谢过养老院的人并按她给我的号码去了电话。接电话的女人解释说现在汉娜自己也是住在一家养老院内。我想这整件事真是太傻了，为什么我费这么大的劲去找只有３美元和一封信的钱夹主人，而那封信差不多已有60年了？
