英语背诵美文30篇(含中英翻译打印版)
·第一篇：Youth 青春YouthYouth 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 80.1．青春--------------------------------------------------------------------------青春不是人生的一个阶段，而是一种心境；青春不是指粉红的面颊、鲜艳的嘴唇、富有弹性的膝盖，而是指坚定的意志、丰富的想象、充沛的情感；青春，它是清新的生命之泉。

第一篇：A Grain of Sand一粒沙子William Blake/威廉.布莱克To see a world in a grain of sand,And a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternity in an hour.从一粒沙子看到一个世界，从一朵野花看到一个天堂，把握在你手心里的就是无限，永恒也就消融于一个时辰。
第二篇：Love Your Life热爱生活Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗However mean your life is, meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names .It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious houres, even in a poor-house, he setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode ; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.不论你的生活如何卑微，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。

第一篇：一位伟大的朋友A Great FriendAs I am now a senior high school student, I have a great many friends, but there is one whom I prize over all the rest. I first made his acquaintance when I began to go to school. He has been my constant companion ever since.Though he is serious in appearance, he never fails to be interesting. Often he is clever, sometimes even merry and gay. He is the most knowledgeable friend a person could have. He knows virtually every language of the world, all the events of history, and the words of all the great poets and philosophers. A kindly benefactor, he is admired and enjoyed by everyone who makes his acquaintance.To me, he has been a great teacher as well as a friend. He first taught me the secrets of my own language and then those of others. With these keys he showed us how to unlock all the arts and sciences of man.My friend is endlessly patient. Dull though I may be, I can return to him again and again, and he is always ready to teach me. When I am bored, he entertains me. When I am dispirited, he lifts me up. When I am lonely, he keeps me company. He is a friend not only to me but to millions around the world. Shall I tell you his name? His name is “reading”.第一篇：翻译由于我现在是高中生，因此有许多朋友，但我最看重其中的一位。
我一开始求学就认识他了。
从此以后他便是我永远不变的朋友。
虽然他外表严肃，但他总是令人感兴趣。
他经常挺聪明的，有时甚至是一付欢喜愉快的模样。
他是我们最有学问的朋友。
世界各国的语言，历史上所有的大事，以及所有伟大的诗人与哲学家的话语，他几乎无所不知。
他是个乐善好施的大好人，认识他的每个人都赞赏与喜欢他。
对我而言，他一直是位伟大的老师也是朋友。
他先教会我母语的奥秘，而后是其他的语言。
借着这些秘决，他教我们如何开启人类所有的艺术与科学之门。
我的朋友有无限的耐心。
虽然我可能很迟钝，但我可以一再地求助于他，而他也随时准备着教导我。
当我感到厌烦时，他会逗我开心。
当我气馁时，他会使我振作起来。
当我孤独时，他会陪伴我。
他不只是我的朋友，同时也是世界各地成千上万人的朋友。
要我告诉你他的名字吗？他的名字是“阅读”。

Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, you must work. If you look around, you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don’t be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning. It is the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers; it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday.There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even. Nobody likes them; the great, busy world does not know that they are there.So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you.第二篇：翻译小伙子，请你记住，你必须工作。
不管你握着的是一把十字镐或是一支笔，一辆独轮手推车或一套书，你都必须工作。
如果你环顾四周，你会发现那些不必工作就最有能力度过余生的人乃是工作最勤奋的人。
别害怕会过劳致死。
不到30岁的人是不可能过劳而死的。
这些人有时候会早逝，但那是因为晚上6点收工，直到第二天早上2点才回家。
小伙子，就是这些工作之余的时间使得这些人丧命啊。
工作会令你食欲大振；工作会使你十分感谢你有假日。
有些年轻人并不工作，但世界并不以他们为荣，甚至不知道他们的名字。
没有人喜欢他们；广袤，忙碌的世界不会留意他们的存在。
因此，要先了解你想当什么，做什么，然后脱下外套，开始干活吧！你愈是忙碌，你愈不容易受到伤害，睡得更甜，假日也更加灿烂，更快活，而世界对你的表现也就更加满意。

As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures who are extremely happy.Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.Being unhappy is like an infectious disease; it causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous: if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be!It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.第三篇：翻译快乐好似扔入池子里的一颗石头，会激起不断扩散的阵阵涟漪。
