优美英语短文诵读12篇1.Don't Wait For TomorrowGravity is not responsible for people to fall in love. It just happens. And when it does happen, don't wait for the right time to express, because right time is when your heart beats faster.If you love someone.. don't wait for tomorrow, or for the other person to make the move.Agreed 'Tomorrow never dies', but also remember… 'Tomorrow never comes, so live in today.'2. Catch the Star that will Take You to Your Dream Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you’ve made. Have faith in your judgment. Catch the star that twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to your de stiny’s path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don’t let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination. Find the star that twinkles in your heart—for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams com e true. Give your hopes everything you’ve got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.3.Each Day Is Too ShortEach day is too short for -All the thoughts we want to think,All the walks we want to take,All the books we want to read,And all the friends we want to see.Make the best out of this day.4.English LanguageI m interested in English. English is a very important language. It is widely used all over the world. If you travel around the world, you’ll find English everywhere. It is widely used for business between different countries. If you know English, you can enjoy many books.It s really a bridge to much knowledge.I have learned many English words. I hope I can talk with foreigners in English and let them know our country better. Some people say the world is smaller than before.5.An Unforgettable ChallengeWhen I was ten years old, I began to chat with foreigners. But I was very shy. Gradually, I became more and more confident with foreigners’ help. The following year, I went to Yangzhou with two foreigners. I became their guide. First, we came into the Shouxi River. They wanted to look around the river by boat. I told them the price. Then we got into the boat. When we looked out at the sight, we all felt very beautiful. After that, they went to buy souvenirs. The sellers couldn’t speak English. Though it was very hard, I tried my best to listen to their words carefully and translate the sentences. They bought some souvenirs with my help. Next, we went to a small zoo, and we took some photos. There were not many animals. When we felt hungry, we went out and had lunch. After lunch, we visited some old houses. They learned more about Chinese history.This wasn’t only a big challenge but also an unforgettable challenge. This opportunity made me confident and brave. I hope I can catch many opportunities in the future, then I can speak English, because I think practice makes perfect.6.My DreamsI want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can be a teacher when I grow up. I can help many students learn things well. I can play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I can be a doctor when I grow up. Then I can help many people out of danger. I will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV every evening. We can get lots of important information from them. They make the world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I grow up. And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world. I can meet many superstars as well.I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can come true one day,because there’s an old saying “where there i s a will, there is a way.”7.Eating tastePeople in different parts of our country have very different ideas about what is good to eat. In our country, for example, people from the south like to eat rice, however, people living in the north prefer bread or noodles. The people of Hunan or Sichuan enjoy hot food. But people of Shanghai or Suzhou will choose sweet dish.Even if people live in the same part of the country, their tastes may be very different. Old people and young ones have different tastes; men and women also have their different preferences. In a restaurant, somecustomers order soups that is thick and heavy, while others drink soup that is thin and clear. A few people only eat vegetables. They don’t like fish or chicken.Therefore, it is not easy for restaurants to satisfy the needs of all the customers. To increase their business, the restaurants in the cities try their best to make foods in different kinds and different styles. They sometimes add new names of dishes with different tastes to their menus for customers.8.Protect our environmentAs we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse .In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to . .But what can we do? How to protect our environment? In fact, there are many things we can do. Firstly, we can go to school on foot or by bike and don’t throw rubbish everywhere. Secondly, we can use shopping baskets but not plastic bags when we go shopping. Last but not least, we can use both sides of the paper when we write. In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better.“There is only one earth”,we s hould act at once. I hope everyone will protect our environment well.9.WaterWater is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth. All animals and plants need water. Man also needs water. Water is found almost everywhere. Even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air.As we all have found out, water may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas. When it is a solid, it may be as hard as stone, When it’s a liquid, you can pour it out of a container. When it is a gas, you cannot see or feel it. Although about 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water, there are many places in the world still running out of water. So we should make good use of water on earth.10.Freedom and PeaceAlmost everyday we can see there are always a huge number of pigeons enjoying the sunbath in some large squares, but do you often care what a white pigeon stands for? That is peace.For hundreds of years, people always regard pigeons as a represent of freedom and peace. That is because of not only its lovely pure figure, but also its great passion to the outside world. Till now, I still can't help thinking of such a picture: In Iraq, a boy was watching a white pigeon over his head. The background was full of wounded solders and guns. Thus, this lovely white pigeon was contrastive to this iced background andgave people a deep consideration. Suddenly, a thought comes into my mind: Why there have been so many wars in the world just for someone's own interest? Why can't people live like as mall pigeon with freedom? I hope there will not be wars, FOREVER!11.Be brave to the earthquakeEveryone has some unforgettable experiences. An earthquake happened in Sichuan Province on Monday, May 12, 2008. It is the most dangerous earthquake in Chinese history. Many people were killed. A large number of houses fell down. I was shocked. When I see theses picture on TV, my eyes were filled with tears.Now, more and more people and volunteers go to disaster area to help people who are in trouble. I was moved. I wanted to do something for people in the disaster areas, too. I thought although I couldn’t go to Sichuan like the soldiers and the doctors, I still wanted to try my best to help them. I took out all my pocket money and threw it into the donation box.I hope they can rebuild their homeland early. I believe that if everyone makes a contribution for our country, we can overcome any difficulties.12. What Is Life?Life is a gift—accept it.Life is a struggle—face it.Life is a song—sing it.Life is an adventure—dare it. Life is beauty—praise it.Life is a mystery—unfold it. Life is a game—play it.Life is a puzzle—solve it.Life is an opportunity—take it. Life is a goal—achieve it.Life is a mission—fulfill it. Life is it—live it.。

初中生英语朗诵文章

初中生英语朗诵文章初中生英语朗诵文章篇(1) Sports do us good in many respects (TS). It goes without saying that taking exercises can build up our physical strength. In collective sports like basketball， volleyball， or football， we will learn the importance of cooperation. While taking part in sports game， we will try our best to win and arouse ourselves the competitive spirit. Sports can also help us relax after a period of exhausting work. However， as the saying goes，there are two sides to everything， and sports is without exception. We may hurt other players or ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating in sports activities. Whats more， excessive or severe training can do harm to our health.My participation in sports tells me that sports can make us healthy both physically and psychologically. It is also a good way for people to know each other and can promote friendship between people. So long as we are carefully enough， sports can do us nothing but good.初中生英语朗诵文章篇(2) As a middle school student，usually Im busy and have no time to do other things. But in my spare time， I like reading and traveling. I think theyre fit for me.A good book is a friend who never turns his back upon us. Reading makes me get a lot of knowledge. I usually read classics. They improve my philological ability(语言能力) and makes me know much different philological style in different countries.Well， traveling is good， too. Ive been to many cities.I think I am just like a modern Xu Xiake(徐霞客). It opens up my eyes to the outside world， and makes me feel many different customs.In 2022， at the age of ten， I went to Beijing to take part in a chorus(合唱) competition by myself. It was my first time to travel without my parents. At first I felt very excited. I had a very heavy bag， and I had to carry it on my back. Then on the train， I couldnt go to sleep.I missed my home and my parents， and my tears rolled down my face. In Beijing， I visited a lot of places of interest. In my opinion， Beijing， the capital of China， is a mixture of modern civilization and ancient civilization. In Beijing Science Museum， I got a lot of knowledge. Also，I got a lot from other activities.Life may be sour， sweet， bitter or hot. It gives us different feelings. Life is like a poem， which gives us taste; life is as beautiful as songs; life is also like paintings， and it is very colorful!初中生英语朗诵文章篇(3) My grandma lived in the country twelve years ago. At that time， I often went to visit my grandparents with my parents during the holidays. Although I was very young then， now I can still remember a lot of things there clearly.I was very glad when we went to the country. I enjoyed seeing the beautiful things in the countryside. My grandpa grew many kinds of vegetables in his garden， such as cabbages， tomatoes， potatoes and carrots. Every morning，he fetched water from a river，and then watered the vegetables. Grandpa took good care of his vegetables as if they were his children. When autumn came， the garden was covered with greenery(绿色植物). Grandpa was always happy to see that. My grandma kept many chickens. They were all very lively. I liked playing with them; sometimes I had dinner with them playing around. I always thought they loved me.There was a small forest near my grandparents house. The trees were very thick. I usually played with my cousin in the woods after a meal. We could hear the birds singing in the trees and see many small animals playing in the grass. The air in the woods was fresh because of the trees. We usually played a game called Mud Fighting(打泥仗). First，we made mud balls. The more， the better; the bigger， the better. Then， we threw them at each other. The person who hit the other person first was the winner. We liked the game though it made our clothes dirty.In front of the woods， there was a small river. The water in the river was very clean and not very deep. In summer， it was quite cool. However， it became warm in winter. I could see many fishes in the river. Sometimes，my grandpa caught some fishes for supper. How delicious they were! There was a bridge which was made of stone over the river. I could go across the bridge to the other side. There were also many beautiful flowers and lines of trees on the banks of the river.Eight years ago my grandparents moved to the city and Ive never gone to that village. However， I still remember it. I love the village and everything there and I willremember it forever!。

He was amazed that in the caravans there was a beautiful parrot in a golden cage, continually repeating Freedom! Freedom!. And it was such a place that when the parrot repeated the word Freedom! it would go on echoing in the valleys, in the mountains.The man thought: I have seen many parrots, and I have thought they must want to be free from those cages... but I have never seen such a parrot whose whole day, from the morning to the evening when he goes to sleep, is spent in calling out for freedom. He had an idea. In the middle of the night, when the owner was fast asleep, he got up and opened the door of the cage. He whispered to the parrot, Now get out.But he was very surprised that the parrot was clinging to the bars of the cage. He said to him again and again, Have you forgotten about freedom? Just get out! The door is open and the owner is fast asleep; nobody will ever know. You just fly into the sky; the whole sky is yours.But the parrot was clinging so deeply, so hard, that the man said, What is the matter? Are you mad? He tried to take the parrot out with his own hands, but the parrot started pecking at him, and at the same time he was shouting, Freedom! Freedom! The valleys in the night echoed and re-echoed, but the man was also stubborn; he was a freedom fighter.He pulled the parrot out and threw him into the sky; and he was very satisfied, although his hand was hurt. The parrot had attacked him as forcefully as he could, but the man was immensely satisfied that he had made a soul free. He went to sleep.In the morning, as the man was waking up, he heard the parrot shouting, Freedom! Freedom He thought perhaps the parrot must be sitting on a tree or on a rock. But when he came out, the parrot was sitting in the cage. The door was open.一个人，一个了不起的人，一个为了自由而战的斗士，正在山峦间穿行。

No. 20 Relish the Moment名篇美文20-Relish the Moment 来自牛津英语教与学00:00 02:42Relish the Moment品味现在Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the moment. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn ad wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering---waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 18.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I have pa id off themortgage!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!”Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.。

经典诗歌英语美文(精选12篇)

经典诗歌英语美文（精选12篇）篇1：英语美文――诗歌之灵性对青年男女来说，诗歌如同爱情一样，是一种激情。

不过，即使是为诗歌动人心弦的力量萦绕心灵而骄傲的人，也很快就必需挣脱诗歌那令人愉悦的束缚;或者这种束缚会自然而然地松懈。

With the young of both sexes, Poetry is, like love, a passion; but, for much the greater part of those who have been proud of its power over their minds, a necessity soon arises of breaking the pleasing bondage; or it relaxes of itself; ―the thoughts b eing occupied in domestic cares, or the time engrossed by business.对青年男女来说，诗歌如同爱情一样，是一种激情。

不过，即使是为诗歌动人心弦的力量萦绕心灵而骄傲的人，也很快就必需挣脱诗歌那令人愉悦的束缚;或者这种束缚会自然而然地松懈，因为家务占据了头脑，事业耗尽了时间。

Poetry then becomes only an occasional recreation; while to those whose existence passes away in a course of fashionable pleasure, it is a species of luxurious amusement.如此一来, 诗歌就只是偶尔的消遣了。

对那些一生都在追求时髦的人来说，诗歌是一种奢侈的娱乐。

In middle and declining age, a scattered number of serious persons resort to poetry, as to religion, for a protection against the pressure of trivial employments, and as a consolation for the afflictions of life.而少数中老年人则借助于诗歌――就像求助于宗教一样――来缓解琐事带来的压力和抚平生活中的创伤。

The air is too thin.It is hard for birds to breathe in thin air. Thin air doesn’t hold them up.Birds fly near the ground so that they can see where they are. The birds look for places they know. Then they do not get lost. Some birds fly so low over the ocean that the waves often hide them. Many birds fly a long distance in the spring and autumn.Passage 28.AirAir is all around us. It is around us as we walk and play. From the time we were born air is around us on every side. When we sit down, it is around us. When we go to bed, air is also around us. We live in air. We can live without food or water for a few days, but we cannot live for more than a few minutes without air. We take in air. When we are working or running we need more air. When we are asleep, we need less air. Welive in air, but we cannot see it. We can only feel it when it is moving. Moving air is called wind. How can we make air move? Here is one way. Hold an open bookin front of your face, close it quickly. What can you feel? What you feel is air.Passage 29.ClocksThere are many clocks in the Brown’s house. They are in different rooms.A big clock stands in a corner of the sitting room. It is a very, very old clock, but it still keeps good time. Mr. Brown winds it once a week.Passage 30. SwimmingSwimming is a good sport. It’s popular. People like swimming because the water makes people feel cool. But if they swim in a wrong place, it is very dangerous. These years, some people died when they were enjoying themselves in water and most of them were students. Summer holiday will be there again. I want to give you some advice. First, don’t get into the water when you are alone. Second, don’t get into the water if thereis a No swimming sign. Third, you should be careful in the water. If you remember these, swimming will be safe and it’s good for your health.。

有很多英语学习者喜欢背诵这些美文以提高自己的英语水平,以下是小编为大家整理的关于短篇英语美文朗诵文章，给大家作为参考，欢迎阅读!短篇英语美文朗诵文章篇1：If I Rest, I RustThe significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.译文：如果我休息，我就会生锈在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。

小编精心收集了适合朗读的英语文章，供大家欣赏学习!适合朗读的英语文章篇1When The Wind BlowsYears ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc(肆虐) on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals.Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farmhand?" the farmer asked him."Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man.Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work.Then one night the wind howled(嚎叫，咆哮) loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!"The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire himon the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins(防水油布). The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops(笼子), and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away.The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.MORAL: When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have nothing to fear.Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life? The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm.适合朗读的英语文章篇2The Art of Bouncing BackI think the center of my faith is an absolute certainty of good. Like everyone else, I get low and there are times when I feel as if I have my fins backwards and am swimming upstream in heavy boots. But even in these dark times, even though I feel cut off, perhaps, and alone, I am aware - even if distantly - that I am part of a whole and that the whole is true and real and good.I have never had any difficultly in believing in God. I don't believe in a personal God and I don't quite see how it is possible to believe in a God who knows both good and evil and yet to trust in him. I believe in God, Good, in One Mind, and I believe we are all subject to and part of this oneness.It's taken me time to understand words like "tolerance" and "understanding." I have given lip service to "tolerance" and to "understanding" for years but only now do I think I begin to understand a little what they mean. If we are all one of another,and this, though uncomfortably, is probably the case, then sooner or later we have got to come to terms with each other. I believe in the individuality of man, and it is only by individual experience that we can, any of us, make a contribution to understanding.I've always been a bit confused about self and egotism(自负) because I instinctively felt both were barriers to understanding. And so in a sense they are.I used to worry a lot about personality and that sort of egotism. I noticed that certain artists - musicians, for instance - would allow their personalities to get between the music and the listener. But others, greater and therefore humbler, became clear channels through which the music was heard unimpeded(畅通无阻的). And it occurred to me, not very originally, that the good we know in man is from God so it is a good thing to try to keep oneself as clear as possible from the wrong sort of self. And it's not very easy, particularly if you are on the stage!I am one of those naturally happy people even when they get low soon bounce back. In minor things like housekeeping and keeping in sight of letters to be answered I am a Planny-Annie. That is to say I get through the chores in order to enjoy the space beyond. But I do find that, believing in the operation of good as I do, I cannot make plans - important ones, I mean - but I must prepare the ground and then leave the way free as far as possible. This, of course, means being fearless and isn't fatalistic, because you see I believe that when I am faithful enough to be still and to allow things to happen serenely, they do. And this being still isn't a negative state but an awareness of one's true position.Friends are the most important things in my life - that andthe wonder of being necessary to someone. But these things pass and in end one is alone with God. I'm not nearly ready for that yet, but I do see it with my heart's eye.I don't understand it entirely, but I believe there is only now and our job is to recognize and rejoice in this now. Now... Not, of course, the man-measured now of Monday, Friday, or whenever, but the now of certain truth. That doesn't change. Surely everything has been done - is done. Our little problem is to reveal and enjoy.适合朗读的英语文章篇3美国社会学家对大学毕业生的建议1. Don't worry about making your dreams come trueCollege graduates are often told: "follow your passion," do "what you love," what you were "meant to do," or "make your dreams come true." Two-thirds think they're going find a job that allows them to change the world, half within five years. Yikes.This sets young people up to fail. The truth is that the vast majority of us will not be employed in a job that is both our lifelong passion and a world-changer; that's just not the way our global economy is. So it's ok to set your sights just a tad below occupational ecstasy. Just find a job that you like. Use that job to help you have a full life with lots of good things and pleasure and helping others and stuff. A great life is pretty good, even if it's not perfect.2. Make friendsAmericans put far too much emphasis on finding Mr. or Ms. Right and getting married. We think this will bring us happiness. In fact, however, both psychological well-being and health are more strongly related to friendship. If you have good friends, you'll be less likely to get the common cold, less likely to die fromcancer, recover better from the loss of a spouse, and keep your mental acuity as you age. You'll also feel more capable of facing life's challenges, be less likely to feed depressed or commit suicide, and be happier in old age. Having happy friends increases your chance of being happy as much as an extra $145,500 a year does. So, make friends!3. Don't worry about being singleSingle people, especially women, are stigmatized(污辱，指责) in our society: we're all familiar with the image of a sad, lonely woman eating ice cream with her cats in her pajamas(睡衣) on Saturday night. But about 45 percent of US adults aren't married and around one in seven lives alone.This might be you. Research shows that young people's expectations about their marital status (e.g., the desire to be married by 30 and have kids by 32) have little or no relationship to what actually happens to people. So, go with the flow.And, if you're single, you're in good company. Single people spend more time with friends, volunteer more, and are more involved in their communities than married people. Never-married and divorced women are happier, on average, than married women. So, don't buy into the myth of the miserable singleton(独身).4. Don't take your ideas about gender and marriage too seriouslyIf you do get married, keep going with the flow. Relationship satisfaction, financial security, and happy kids are more strongly related to flexibility in the face of life's challenges than any particular way of organizing families. The most functional families are ones that can bend. So partnering with someone who thinks that one partner should support their families and theother should take responsibility for the house and children is a recipe for disaster. So is being equally rigid about non-traditional divisions of labor. It's okay to have ideas about how to organize your family but your best bet for happiness is to be flexible.5. Think hard about whether to buy a houseOur current image of the American Dream revolves around homeownership, and buying a home is often taken for granted as a stage on the path to full-fledge adulthood. But the ideal of universal home ownership was born in the 1950s. It's a rather new idea.With such a short history, it's funny that people often insist that buying a house is a fool-proof investment and the best way to secure retirement. In fact, buying a house may not be the best choice for you. The mortgage may be less than rent, but there are also taxes, insurance, and the increasingly common Home Owners Association (HOA) fees. You may someday sell the house for more than you bought it but, if you paid interest on a mortgage, you also paid far more than the sale price. You have freedom from a landlord, but may discover your HOA is just as controlling, or worse. And then there's the headache: renting relieves you from the stress of being responsible for repairs. It also offers a freedom of movement that you might cherish.So, think carefully about whether buying or renting is a better fit for your finances, lifestyle, and future goals.6. Think even harder about having kidsOne father had this to say about children: "They're a huge source of joy, but they turn every other source of joy to shit." In fact, having children correlates with both an increased sense of purpose in life and a long-lasting decrease in individual and marital happiness. Having kids means spending a lot of yourshort life and limited income on one source of joy. You have only so much time and money and there are lots of ways to find satisfaction, pleasure, and meaning in this life. Consider all your options.。

英语美文朗诵短文精选篇一Be Happy快乐“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield“快乐的日子使人睿智。

”——约翰梅斯菲而德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 hissober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲而德的这行诗时，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的表达引起了我的注意，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 nordimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.终于，我似乎领会到了它的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。

快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之前，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不会因绝望和厌倦而暗淡模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。
