英语美文30篇英语美文30 篇01-YouthYouth 原文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, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempera-mental 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 spring back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.名家译文青春不是年华，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。

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.2 秋天的黄叶，它们没有什么可唱，只叹息一声，飞落在那里。
And yellow leaves of autumn， which have no songs， flutter and fall there with a sign.3世界对着它的爱人，把它浩翰的面具揭下了。
它变小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song， as one kiss of the eternal.4是大地的泪点，使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。
It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.5无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱，她摇摇头笑着飞开了。
The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.6如果你因失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。
If you shed tears when you miss the sun， you also miss the stars.7跳舞着的流水呀，在你途中的泥沙，要求你的歌声，你的流动呢。
你肯挟瘸足的泥沙而俱下么？The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement， dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness？8她的热切的脸，如夜雨似的，搅扰着我的梦魂。

一、《做你想做的梦》There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!在一生有多少这样的时刻：我们对一个人朝思暮想，只想一把把他们从梦中拉出来，真切的拥抱一回!When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we dont see the one which has been opened for us.一扇通往幸福的门关闭了，另一扇幸福之门打开了，可有多少次啊，我们徘徊在那扇关闭的门前，却忽略了那扇早已为我们开启的新的幸福之门。
Dont go for looks; they can deceive. Dont go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.不要以貌取人，外貌可能会欺骗你;不要追逐财富，财富会消失的。
去寻找那个让你笑口常开的人吧，一个微笑就可以使暗淡的日子豁然开朗。
去追寻那个令你心灵愉悦的人吧!Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.做你想做的梦，去你想去的地方，成为你想成为的人，因为你只有一次生命和一次机会去做你想做的事情。

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."当我很小的时候，我认为对人类而言，声音很重要，因此回答：“妈咪，是耳朵。
”She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."她说：“不对，有许多人是聋人。
但是你继续想，不久我会再问你。
”Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."当她再度问我时，已经是好几年后了。

所以这次我对她说：“妈咪，视觉对每个人都很重要，所以应该是我们的眼睛。

高中生必背课外英语美文赏读(中英对照)
As a teenager，I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious1 out－side，but I wanted to be liked inside.Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t easy，and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home，I was different，not so outwardly sure of myself.I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope，who was staying with us，was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren’t there. I told my mom，and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl，no one could replace me.I pointed out，“Ｓhe is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.”My mom said these were wonderful qualities，but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.I became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn’t like any more，and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be.当我还是个10几岁的少年的时候，觉得自己总是让人失望。

It is a good thing that we live in a society where all people are free to expresstheir desires.我们身处一个所有人都能自由表达其欲望的社会，这是一件好事。
But freedom can also bring confusion.但自由也会带来迷失。
What some people are really seeking is not to enjoy the freedom itself, but toforce others to see their freedom.有些人真正在寻求的已经不是享受自由本身，而是强行让别人看见自己的自由。
For example, “I want to eat Mac Donald’s” and “Mac Donald’s will do mean to eat Mac Donald’s.例如，“我想吃麦当劳”和“麦当劳就行”表达的本来都是去吃麦当劳。
But it seems that the former embodies a person’s independence, while the la reflects the lack of assertiveness.但似乎前者体现了一个人的独立，而后者体现的是没主见。
However, is this really necessary?然而，这样做真的有必要吗？Is one’s daily performance of independence with a variety of acts not anembodiment of being not independent?每天用各种行为强行表现自己的独立，难道不恰好就是不独立的表现？An independent person will indeed have a personality, but a person with personality may not necessarily be independent.一个独立的人的确会是有个性的，但一个有个性的人可并不一定有多独立。
They might just be a slave of vanity, craving the attention of others every day.他们或许只是虚荣心的奴隶罢了，每天渴求着别人的注意力。
What do you really need, freedom and independence, or a tag that hangs on you?你真正需要的东西，是自由和独立本身，还是一个挂在身上的标签？It seems that most people have not figured out this issue.很多人似乎并没有把这个问题想清楚。

However, his life trajectory was about to change because of the girl in front of him.然而，他的这个人生轨迹即将因为眼前的这个女孩而改变。
The two of them fell in love at first sight and married a year later.他们两人一见钟情，并在一年后结婚了。
Normally, they would probably each get a stable job and live a middle-class life day in and day out.按照正常的生活轨迹，他们大概会各自找一份安定的工作，然后过着每天千篇一律的中产阶级生活。
But they think they want more freedom in their life.但他们觉得，自己还没过够自由自在的生活。
As a result, the young couple bought a small car a year later and started anoverland journey through Europe and Asia.于是，这对小夫妻在一年后买了一辆小破车，开始了一场横跨欧亚大陆的旅行。
Eventually, they crossed the whole Oceania and arrived in Australia.最终，他们穿过大洋洲，来到了澳大利亚；Here they met with many other people who want to travel on their own, all of whom are eager to know the details of their travels.在这里，他们碰到了其他很多也想自助旅行的人，这些人都很急切地想知道他们旅行的各种细节。
So the couple published a book to share their travel experiences.于是，这对小夫妻出版了一本书，来专门讲述自己的旅游经历。
In the end, they opened a company that popularized all kinds of travel knowledge and experience and thus became the richest backpackers in the world.最终，他们开了一家公司，普及各种旅游知识、分享各种旅游经验，并因此成为了世界上最富有的背包客。
The young man is called Tony Wheeler, and the Irish girl is Mauren Wheeler.这个男生，叫做托尼·惠勒，这个爱尔兰姑娘，叫做莫琳·惠勒。
That is how Lonely Planet was born.孤独星球这家公司，就此诞生。

You may know that she is also a songwriter.你可能也知道她还是个写歌人。
But if you assume that all her commercial success came from herself, then you are wrong.但你如果以为霉霉的商业成功完全是因为她自己，那你就错了。
