The disadvantages are never so apparent as when someone wants to go off to college. Parents have cashed in life insurance policies to cover the cost of one year.My mother knew that she could not send me to college and pay for it. She worked in a retail store and made just enough to pay the bills and take care of the other children at home. If I wanted to go to college,it was up to me to find out how to get there.I found that I qualified for some grants because of the size of our family,my mom“s income and my SAT scores. There was enough to cover school and books,but not enough for room and board. I accepted a job as part of a work-study program. While not glamorous,it was one I could do. I washed dishes in the school cafeteria.To help myself study,I made flash cards that fit perfectly on the large metal dishwasher. After I loaded the racks,I stood there and flipped cards,learning the makeup of atoms while water and steam broke them down all around me. I learned how to make y equal to z while placing dishes in stacks. My wrinkled fingers flipped many a card,and many times my tired brain drifted off,and a glass would crash to the floor. My grades wentup and down. It was the hardest work I had ever done.Just when I thought the bottom was going to drop out of my college career,an angel appeared. Well,one of those that are on earth,without wings.“I heard that you need some help,”he said.“What do you mean?”I asked,trying to figure out which area of my life he meant.“Financially,to stay in school.”“Well,I make it okay. I just have trouble working all these hours and finding time to study.”“Well,I think I have a way to help you out.”He went on to explain that his grandparents needed help on the weekends. All that was required of me was cooking meals and helping them get in and out of bed in the morning and evening. The job paid four hundred dollars a month,twice the money I was making washing dishes. Now I would have time to study. I went to meet his grandparents and accepted the job.My first discovery was his grandmother“s great love of music. She spent hours playing her old,off-key piano. One day,she told me I didn”t have enough fun in my life and 11)took it upon herself to teach me the art.Grandma was impressed with my ability and encouraged me to continue. Weekends in their house became more than just books and cooking;they were filled with the wonderful sounds of the out-of-tune piano and two very out-of-tune singers.When Christmas break came,Grandma got a chest cold,and I was afraid to leave her. I hadn“t been home since Labor Day,and my family was anxious to see me. I agreed to come home,but for two weeks instead of four,so I could return to Grandma and Grandpa. I said my good-byes,arranged for theirtemporary care and return home.As I was loading my car to go back to school,the phone rang.“Daneen,don”t rush back,“he said.“Why?What”s wrong?“I asked,panic rising.“Grandma died last night,and we have decided to put Grandpa in a ret irement home. I”m sorry.“I hung up the phone feeling like my world had ended. I had lost my friend,and that was far worse than knowing I would have to return to dishwashing.I went back at the end of four weeks,asking to begin the work-study program again. The financial aid advisor looked at me as if I had lost my mind. I explained my position,then he smiled and slid me an envelope.“This is for you,”he said.It was from grandma. She had known how sick she was. In the envelope was enough money to pay for the rest of my school year and a request that I take piano lessons in her memory.I don“t think”The Old Grey Mare“was even played with more feeling than it was my second year in college. Now,years later,when I walk by a piano,I smile and think of Grandma. She is tearing up the ivories in heaven,I am sure.Daneen Kaufman Wedekind经典优秀英语美文欣赏篇二Winston Churchill: His Other Life(丘吉尔与绘画)My father,Winston Churchill,began his love affair with painting in his 40s,amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915,he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed,with great loss of life,Churchill paid the price,both publicly and privately. Hewas removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.Overwhelmed by the catastrophe—“I thought he would die of grief,”said his wife,Clementine– he retired with his family to Hoe Farm,a country retreat in Surrey. There,as Churchill later recalled,“The muse of painting came to my rescue!”Wandering in the garden one day,he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes,then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings,Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.For Churchill,however,the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how“very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette,and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery.“‘Painting!’she declared.‘But what are you hesitating about?Let me have the brush–the big one.’Splash into the turpentine,wallop into the blue and the white,frantic flourish on the palette,and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back. The spell was broken. I seized the largest brush and fell upon my victim with berserk fury. I have never felt any awe of a canvas since.”At that time,John Lavery– a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter–was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later,Lavery said of his unusual pupil:“Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship,I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”In painting,Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war,painting would offer deep solace when,in 1921,the death of his mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine‘s beloved three-year-old daughter,Marigold. Battered by grief,Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland,finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine:“I went out and pa inted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Many tender thoughts my darling one of you & yr sweet kittens. Alas I kept feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly [Marigold’s pet name].”Life and love and hope slowly revived,and in September 1922 I was born. This was also the year that Winston bought Chartwell,the beloved home he was to paint in all its different aspects for the next 40 years.My father must have felt a glow of gratification when in the mid 1920s he won first prize in a prestigious amateur art exhibition held in London. Entries were anonymous,and some of the judges insisted that Winston‘s picture– one of his first of Chartwell– was the work of a professional,not an amateur,and should be disqualified. In the end,they agreed to rely on the artist’s honesty and were delighted when they learned that the picture had been painted by Churchill.Historians have called the decade after 1929,when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office,his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering inbarren places,a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler,but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the south of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant,roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939. One,“The Loup River,Alpes Maritimes,”is owned by the Tate Gallery in London.In 1953,during his second prime ministry,my father had a stroke,and I went with him to the south of France where he convalesced. After five days I wrote sadly in my diary:“Papa is wretched. His paints have been untouched.”Once more the muse,and the magical light of the Riviera,came to his rescue. The next day Winston sent a telegram to Clementine:“Have at last plunged into a daub.”Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life.“Happy are the painters,”he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime,“for they shall not be lonely. Light and color,peace and hope,will keep them company to the end,or almost to the end,of the day.”And so it was for my father.* Mary Soames,fifth child of Winston and Clementine Churchill,is Chairman of Trustees of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust.Mary Soames经典优秀英语美文欣赏篇三All you remember(你所记得的一切)All you remember about your child being an infant is the incredible awe you felt about the precious miracle you created.

I hope to plete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets againthis part of my task will be pleted and that the administration will be plete in all respects.I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of today's proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provisionfor earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity.I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution:"That this House weles the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion."To form an administration of this scale and plexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or for mer colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victory. Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."英文励志小短文篇二Friendship is a diamond buried in the earth; a treasure of great worth. But first it must be mined then faceted and shined. It takes pick and shovel and strain, enpassing time and enduring pain, until its grace is seen; a glittering gift of love that's shared between we three: First God, and you, then me.友情是钻石友情是一枚埋在泥土里的钻石;是一笔巨额的财富。

关于英语短文阅读经典美文优秀6篇英语小短文篇一The ray of the warm sunlight told us that it was spring. A lion was sleeping peacefully in the forest.While the lion was fast asleep, a mouse went on top of the lion. The bold mouse played happily on top of the lion. Yuppie! This is really fun. The mouse ran around thumping and stomping here and there.The lion was not able to sleep with all the racket. The lion knew that there was someone on top of him. So, the lion made a surprise attack and rolled on the ground.And the mouse fell over. When the lion saw the mouse he was relieved and said, Whew! It was only a mouse.However, far away a fox had seen the scene. The fox laughed mockingly to the lion and said, You're as big as a mountain and you're afraid of the mouse. You're a coward! The fox kept making fun of the Lion.Finally the lion spoke, I wasn't afraid of the mouse. I was only shocked to find a bold enough animal not afraid to run around on top of a lion. When the fox heard this he quietly left.英语小短文篇二Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.They say they’d like to do this or that, but then they offer all the excuses in the world for why they can’t do whatever it is. No matter what the excuses are, the only thing that is usually limiting them is their own self-perception.If I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned that a person —any person —may do anything they set their mind on doing. The things you need are willingness to work for what you want, patience to learn what you need to know and, most important of all, belief in yourself. You only need a seed, and then your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you’re not smart enough, then take the time to learn what you need to know, and then your self-perception will change.If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you never finish anything you start, then go and finish something and change your self- perception.If your self-perception is that you’re too lazy, too busy, too unworthy, too unfocused, too depressed, or too dependent on others to acplish great things, then you’re right. You are that because you believe you are, but in fact, you can change that! Life is change, and the past doesn’t equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions, and you will change your future. Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right. You are what you think.Think about that the next time you need an excuse.翻译:思想与行动有些人的一生都在借口中度过。

英语经典美文阅读(5篇)
英语经典美文阅读(5篇)英语经典美文阅读 1One day, the time management expert lectured to a group of business school students.He made a demonstration at the scene, which left a lasting impression on the students.Standing in front of students with high iqs, he said, let's take a quiz. Take out a one-gallon jar and set it on the table in front of him. Then he took out a bunch of fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them in a jar. When the jar was over the top of the jar and no more rocks could fit in, he asked, “is the jar full?" All students should say: "full!" . The time management expert replied, "really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He poured some of the gravel in, and tapped the glass bottle wall to fill the gap between the stones. "Is the jar full now? "He asked the second time. But this time the students understood, "probably not," one student said. "Good! Experts say. He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of sand. The sand is filled with all the gaps between the rock and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "is this jar full?" "No! "Shouted the students. Onceagain he said, "good! Then he took a pitcher of water and poured it into the jar until it was flat. Looking up at the students, he asked, "what is the point of this illustration?" One eager student raised his hand and said, "no matter how tight your schedule is, if you work hard, you can do more!" "No!" The time management expert said, "that's not what it really means. This example tells us that if you didn't blow up the rock first, you couldn't put it in the bottle anymore. So, what are the big rocks in your life? Spend time with the people you love, your beliefs, education, dreams? Remember to deal with these big rocks first, otherwise, you can't do it all your life!So tonight, perhaps this morning, you are reading this essay, and you have tried to ask yourself this question: what is the "big rock" in my life? Then, please put them in the bottle of your life first. It is better to be busy with dreams than to lose your dreams by being busy!英语经典美文阅读 2You cannot change the laws of physics . but could physics actually enable us to travel through time?It might sound crazy, but according to Einstein‘s theories, there‘s no logical reason why time travel isn‘t possible.Time travel is clearly a trickier proposition than space travel,though. And prior to Einstein, it would have been deemed utterly impossible! That‘s because the old idea about time was that it was like a cosmic metronome keeping a regular and constant beat throughout the universe. And it was thought to move in one direction only .However, what physicists now know is that time is rather more flexible than the old “ Clockwork Universe” ideas they had it. And it was Albert Einstein who set the cat among the pigeons.Einstein‘s theories about time and space were revolutionary. He b ecame a celebrity__and not just in scientific circles. It‘s only since he published his theories that scientists have been able to demonstrate that space and time really behave the way he said they did.In 1971, after Einstein‘s death, two scientists w ere able to carry out a crucial experiment. They used two atomic clocks, synchronized them, and placed one on a plane, while the other stayed in the same location on Earth. The plane then flew around the world for 80 hours. According to Einstein‘s theory, the clock on the plane would be expected to have lost time, due to being in motion over 80 hours pared to the clock on the ground. Whenthey brought the clocks together and made a parison, the clock on the plane was indeed a few nanoseconds slower than the other clock. The experiment was replicated in 1996 with advanced technology, and it was proved again__with an even bigger time difference this time. Which proves that not only is time “ warp-able” , but Einstein was arguably the greatest thinker the world has ever seen.If it were possible, however, it would present some pretty knotty paradoxes... For example, what if someone or something traveled back in time and changed the ensuing future? And have you heard the one about the time traveller who dots back and forward in time and by means of various medical technologies is able to be his own father AND mother?! And besides, if time travel is possible, where are all the people from the future__surely they‘d want to e and meet us poor stranded 21st century beings?英语经典美文阅读 3"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy...called me a freak."He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music."But you might mingle with other young people," his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.The boy's father had a session with the family physician... "Could nothing be done?""I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured," the doctor decided. Whereupon the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret."The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school andcollege became a series of triumphs.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.""I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."The years kept their profound secret, but the day did e. One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears."Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"英语经典美文阅读 4To respect my work, my associates and myself. To be honest and fair with them as I expect them to be honest and fair with me. To be a man whose word carries weight. To be a booster, not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motor, not a clog.To base my expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered; to be willing to pay the price of success inhonest effort. To look upon my work as opportunity, to be seized with joy and made the most of, and not as painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured.To remember that success lies within myself; in my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination. To expect difficulties and force my way through them, to turn hard experiences into capital for future struggles.To interest my heart and soul in my work, and aspire to the highest efficiency in the achievement of results. To be patiently receptive of just criticism and profit from its teaching. To treat equals and superiors with respect, and subordinates with kindly encouragement.To make a study of my business duties; to know my work from the ground up. To mix brains with my efforts and use system and method in all I undertake. To find time to do everything needful by never letting time find me or my subordinates doing nothing. To hoard days as a miser does dollars, to make every hour bring me dividends in specific results plished. To steer clear of dissipation and guard my health of body and peace of mind as my most precious stock in trade.Finally, to take a good grip on the joy of life; to play the gamelike a gentleman; to fight against nothing so hard as my own weakness, and endeavor to grow in business capacity, and as a man, with the passage of every day of time.英语经典美文阅读 5It seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. I think I was fortunate because I grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious feeling. I don’t think it was spoken of a great deal. It was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain reinforcements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in God and your knowledge of prayer.But as I grew older I questioned a great many of the things that I knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. And I think I might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn’t been for the fact that my husband once said it didn’t do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? When they grow up they’ll think things out for themselves.And that gave me a feeling that perhaps that’s what we all must do-think out for ourselves what we could believe and howwe could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.I don’t know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some “going on.” How exactl y that happens I’ve never been able to decide. There is a future-that I’m sure of. But how, that I don’t know. And I came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do-it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were plishing by being here.And so I have tried to follow that out-and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. I think I am pretty much of a fatalist. You have to accept whatever es and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.。

”--- 约翰·梅斯菲尔德when I first read this line by England's Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德这行诗时,我感到十分震惊。
他想表达什么意思?我以前从未对此仔细考虑,总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。
但他冷静而又胸有成竹表达引起了我注意,令我无法忘怀。
Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.终于,我似乎领会了他意思,并意识到这行诗意义深远。
快乐带来睿智存在于敏锐洞察力之间,不会因忧虑而含混迷惑,也不会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊,更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。

经典英语美文(一)生活是一场游戏Image life as a game in which you are playing somefive balls in the air.You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you’re keeping allthese balls in the air.You understand that work is a rubber ball. If youdrop it, it will bounce back.But the other four ballsare made of glass. If you drop one of these,it will beirrevocably scuffed, marked, damaged or even broken into pieces.They will never be the same. You must learn to strive for balance in your life. How?Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are differentthat each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people consider important. Only you know what is best foryou.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Hold on to them as you would to life, for without them, it’s meaningless.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment youstop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us toeach together.Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’simpossible to find.The quickest way to receivelove is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;and the best way to keeplove is to giveit wings.Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.Don’t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or in the future.By living your life oneday at a time, you live all the days of your life.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where youare going.Life is not a race, but a journey to be enjoyed slowly each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That’s why we call it - the present.想像生活就是一场游戏,在这个游戏中,你向空中抛出五个球。

We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions that will remain imprinted in my memory as a beautiful illustration of this practice.不久前我在圣克鲁斯山脉,在一次妇女大会上有说有唱。
我们关注的主题是通过送礼物等实用的方法来关爱他人。
其中一个会议期间发生的一件特殊的事将成为最美的印迹永远铭刻在我的记忆中。
A young Syrian woman (“Lilith”) had been invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she'd actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become targets of violent atrocities from radical terrorist groups in the country's ongoing civil war.一位年轻的叙利亚女士(莉莉丝)在最后一分钟被邀请到会议上,大家看起来都很惊讶,也很高兴她真的来了。

英语优美短文赏读六篇 (配译文)
英语优美短文赏读六篇(配译文)1.A box full of kisses 装满吻的盒子The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy.”The man was embarrassed by his earlier over reaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no otherpossession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.译文:有这样一个故事,爸爸因为三岁的女儿浪费了一卷金色的包装纸而惩罚了她。

1、If not to the sun for smiling, warm is still in the sun there, but wewill laugh more confident calm; if turned to found his own shadow, appropriate escape, the sun will be through the heart,warm each place behind the corner; if an outstretched palm cannot fall butterfly, then clenched waving arms, given power; if I can't have bright smile, it will face to the sunshine, and sunshine smile together, in full bloom.译文:如果不向太阳索取微笑,温暖仍在太阳那里,但我们会笑得更加自信从容;如果转过身去发现了自己的影子,适当的躲让,阳光便可穿越心灵,温暖每一处身后的角落;如果摊开的掌心不能点落蝴蝶,那就紧握成拳挥动臂膀,给予力量;如果我不能够微笑得灿烂,那就将脸投向灿烂的阳光,与阳光一起微笑,烂漫。
2、When you love who you are,you become a conduit of light.Just drop into your heart space,and live life from this view.For all of this doing is not who you are.Listen to your heart’s soft whisper,this voice will show you the way.Live life from your essence is what she will say.See the light in yourself,and your world will be bright.There is no need to worry,you are exactly as you should be;remember to love who you are,and love you will see.译文:当你爱自己的时候,你会成为一道光。

But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn.Bereavements and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。

优秀的经典英语美文欣赏我们可以多多看看一些英语的文章来提升我们的英语作文,今天就给大家分享一下英语美文欣赏,欢迎参考一位母亲写给女儿的信dear girls,我亲爱的孩子们,you're so young right now, but i hope these letters will be helpful to you one day when you're older. there is so much i wish i could ask my mother now that i am a grown woman. there is so much we never got to talk about. i'm planning on being around for you well into your lives and adulthood, but even so, i think having these letters will be useful in some way. who knows how things might change down the road, and at least you'll have your 34-year-old mother's thoughts down on paper.你们现在如此稚嫩,但我希望将来某一天等你们长大了,这封信将会对你们有帮助。
作为一个成年女人,我也有很多想问我妈妈的问题,有很多我和她从未谈及过的事情。
在你们的成长中,我会在你们身边帮你们过好生活长大成人,但即使这样,我认为这封信也能通过其他方式使你们获益。
谁也不知道将来会发生什么,但至少你们会有我这个34岁的母亲把想法写下来供你们参考。
anyway, i want this letter to be about beauty and my relationship to it. i feel this enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self image. in a lot of women's eyes i've probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink-princess-barbie mess cluttering up vera's room right now.不管怎么样,我希望谈谈关于美以及我对美的看法。
作为一个有两个女儿的母亲,在谈到美和自身形象的问题,我有重要的责任为你们引导相对健康的认识之路。
虽然在许多女人眼里,我这方面做得并不值得称赞,因为现在在vera的房间里还乱糟糟地塞满了卡哇伊的芭比娃娃。
but i will say this about barbie (and all the rest of that princess garbage): i played with that stuff for a solid decade when i was growing up and here i am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook about my body and image. i have a masters degree and have a successful career and a published book. if barbie were really so damaging to my femininity and self-image i highly doubt i could list all of the latter as accomplishments.但对于芭比娃娃(以及系列相关的公主垃圾玩具)我想说的是,我小时候玩了整整十年的洋娃娃,现在我是一个拥有体重标准、保持健康外貌的女性,我获得了硕士学位,我事业成功还出版了一本书。
如果芭比娃娃真的对我的女性特质和个人形象有破坏性的影响,那么我真是非常怀疑我列出的那些成就是怎么来的。
but i get it too. it's hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. it's hard not to obsess over our weight and to wish we could afford more stylish clothes. it's hard not to covet someone else's hair or hips or eyelashes, and to spend inordinate amounts of time trying to achieve looks that we were never suited for in the first place.但是我也懂,对女人来讲保持健康的形象很不容易。
想要不被体重困扰,不奢求自己能有经济能力购买更时尚的衣服,这真的很难;不觊觎别的女生的发型、翘臀和睫毛,不在自己身上无节制的花时间试图让自己驾驭那些完全不适合的造型,这些也都太难了。
i have girlfriends around whom i have to brace myself to see, because even though i love them, just being around them makes me self-conscious. i look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why i've never been able to be as skinny as she was. and then i have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. we women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes.我身边有一群女性朋友,虽然我很爱她们,但每次跟她们接触我都需要打起精神,只是和她们待在一起我都会觉得不自然。
看着我妈妈的老照片,我总是纳闷为什么自己永远不能像她那么骨感,然后我发现身边有朋友比她妈妈年轻时还要瘦。
我们女人总在转圈圈,有时还牵着彼此的手试着扮演对方的角色。
men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? i've never tried so hard to look good as when i know i'm about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. it's she who will notice my slimmed down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.男人以为我们穿衣服打扮自己是为了给他们看,但为什么当男人几乎不去注意这些时我们依然乐此不疲呢?在我知道自己马上将会见一个时髦的女性朋友之前,我就会非常非常努力地打扮自己,让自己看起来容光焕发。
而她也肯定会注意到我苗条的腰线和手臂上纤细精巧的手镯。
and i have no doubt that the two of you, veronica and juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. you will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair or bigger breasts or thicker eyelashes. i know this, not because i know sisters, but because i know women. the thing i'll tell you, the thing to remember is this: not even the prettiest ofus feel settled. the girl you think looks the most perfect in all the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.毫无疑问,我亲爱的女儿维多妮卡和朱丽叶,你们以后也会无止境地相互比较。
你们会郁闷为什么对方的腿比自己长,头发比自己亮,胸部比自己丰满或者她有更浓密的睫毛。
我懂这些,不是因为我了解姐妹关系,而是我了解女人。
我要告诉你们而你们必须牢记的一件事是:即使最漂亮的女人也没有安全感,在你眼里最完美的女孩或许比任何人都想改变自己。
don't take these on. don't let that message carry any weight within yourselves. you are not worthless. you are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through you every second of every day. if someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. and know that the reason they pushed you down in the first place is just because they're scared. i will tell you that i have never in my life felt more beautiful than when i have stood my tallest.不要太在乎这些,不要让这样的信息增加自己的负担。
