英语美文摘抄200字篇一： henry ford didn t always pay attention in school. one day ,he and a friend took a watch apart. angry and upset, the teacher told him both to stay after school. their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch.

but the teacher did not know young ford s genius. in ten minutes, this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home..

ford was always interested in how things worked. he once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. then he waited to see what would happen. the water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. the explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. the young inventor was badly scalded

ford s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. he dreamed of a horseless carriage. when he built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.

亨利.福特在学校里常常心不在焉。有一天，他和一个小朋友把一块

手表拆开了。老师很生气，让他们放学后留下来，把表修好才能回家。当时这位老师并不知道小福特的天才。只用了十分钟，这位机

械奇才就把手表修好，走在回家的路上了。

福特对各种东西的工作原理总是很感。曾有一次，他把茶壶嘴用东

西堵住，然后把茶壶放在火炉上。他便站在一边等候着会出现什么

情况。当然，水开后变成了水蒸气。因为水蒸气无处逸出，茶壶便

爆炸了，因而打碎了一面镜子和一扇窗户。这个小发明家也被严重

地了。

多年后，福特的好奇心和他的动手能力使他得到了回报。他曾经梦

想着去制造一辆无马行进的车。他造成了一辆这样的车后，运输界

发生了永久性的变化。

英语美文摘抄200字篇二： 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

hourss,even in a poor-house.the 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贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶

言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱

找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它

贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。

夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫

中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之

无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实

上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找

新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，

回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保

留你的思想。

英语美文摘抄200字篇三： a country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the

following train of reflections. the money for which i shall sell

this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,these eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and

what may be destroyed by vermin,will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.the chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year i cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown.green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best .and green it shall be, in this dress i will go to
