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。

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。

英语美文朗诵欣赏篇1Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentin e’s Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.有时候,我真的怀疑父母之间是否有真爱。
他们天天忙于赚钱,为我和弟弟支付学费。
他们从未像我在书中读到,或在电视中看到的那样互诉衷肠。
他们认为”我爱你”太奢侈,很难说出口。
更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了。

英语优美短文朗诵篇1Companionship of BooksA man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in t his:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good.Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.英语优美短文朗诵篇2The same leaves over and over again!They fall from giving shade aboveTo make one texture of faded brownAnd fit the earth like a leather glove.同样的叶子,一回又一回!从投下树阴的高处飘落,堆积成枯褐的纹理,仿佛给大地戴上了皮手套。

A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have non chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.参考译文:永不放弃我们常听到人们说:“永久不要放弃。
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。
最新英语美文朗诵短文精选
【篇一】英语美文朗诵短文精选Sometimes we get so busy and caught up in daily life that we forget to be grateful.有时,我们过于繁忙,忙于芜杂的生活琐事,连感激都忘记了。
We expect everyone to do their share without being asked. The only time anyone hears anything is when a chore has not been completed.我们期望每个人都能够自觉地尽职尽责,在这个时间每个人所能听到的就是做完活。
This attitude, over the long haul, will develop very resentful and uncooperative family members.这种态度,日积月累,在家人之间就会发展为抱怨和不和。
When life is good, gratitude is easy. It becomes more challenging to be grateful when we are experiencing hard times.生活安稳的时候,表达感激就会很简单。
但是,当我们面对艰辛的生活时,表达感激就很难了。
Financial hardship, long-term illness, the death of a loved one and marital strife can all be trying and difficult.经济困难,长期疾病,亲人过世和婚姻纠纷这些都可能让人心烦,给生活带来困难。
It is hard to find anything to be grateful for. But while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. We have a choice in how we view our circumstances.这时候,甚至连找一个感激的理由都很难。

It was a girl. The King was very glad.You know what a fairyis. Many fairies lived near the King’s house. When the Queen’s child came, theKing went to all the fairies and said,“The Queen has a child. Do come tothe house and see our new little girl.” All the fairies said,“We arevery glad:we will come today .”One of the fairies hadgone away on a journey: she had been very far away. She had not come back whent he Queen’s child came. When she came back,one of the fairies said to her,“The Queen has a child,and the King came to us and said,”Come andsee our new little girl. “”But this fairy was abad fairy; the bad fairy said,“The King went to all of you: why did henot come to me?

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。

His model was usually his wife, an empty-faced woman who tended their second-floor flat andtwo small kids and did what her husband told her to do.

”——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。

美文英语朗诵稿1Looking at us today, there are so many doors open to us. I believe that there has never been such a rich opportunity for self-development. The doors open to us also bring challenges.Every door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents and friends, I believe I can face the challenge. From eae8a2d: the other night, when I saw the moon hovering on the earth, before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was full of songs that I found myself humming, not in the In music, but in another place, in another place, in a memory place, in an untouched place, on a grassland, no one seems to have been there except deer and those unforgettable scenes. All these unforgettable scenes make us feel that it's time for us and our next generation to do something.I want to see me Our country is prosperous and respected in the international community. But in my opinion, patriotism is not enough. What's more, we young people should think more seriously and broaden our horizons to face bigger problems.This is from sun Ning's speech With the increasing number of international exchanges, we must face the increasing competition from all over the world. This is a higher requirement for our personal development level.

推荐英语经典美文诵读材料(精篇一honorable judges,distinguished guests,ladies and gentlemen:it is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the english language.about a year and a half ago, i took part in my very first english speech contest.when i stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, i could hardly speak.i stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say.my fears had paralyzed me.while my passion for english has never changed, i lost my courage to speak in public.when my professor again encouraged me to take part in this competition, i said “no.” i couldn’t endure yet another painful eXperience.he looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart.i will neverforget his words.“look,” he said,“we all have our fears,and you have yours.you could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again.running away can never dispel your fears, but action will.a winner is not one who never fails,but one who never quits.”i spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind.then i made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: i would face my fears – and take part in the competition!as it turned out, my dear old professor was right.now,here i am, once again standing before a microphone.my heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly,i have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!thank you.战胜恐惧尊敬的评委,各位来宾,女士们先生们,我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里,与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。
大概一年半以前,我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。
站在麦克风前,面对观众们期待的眼神,我竟紧张的说不出话来。
那一刻,我是多么无助啊!我对于英语的挚爱从未改变,但却从此失去了面对公众演讲的勇气。
当老教授鼓励我参加希望英语风采大赛时,我拒绝了。
他直视我的眼睛,说了一番令我终身难忘的话。
“你瞧,”他说,“我们都有自己的恐惧。
你可能会在一场篮球比赛中扭脚,并从此害怕再打球。
你只能用行动去克服自己的恐惧,逃避是没有用的。
生活中的成功者往往是永不放弃的人。
”我花了一整天时间思考他的话。
然后,我做出了一个勇敢而明智的决定:我要参加中央电视台第五届“希望之星”英语风采大赛!老教授是对的。
我发挥出了自己的水平,一路杀进了全国总决赛。
此时此刻,当我再一次站在了麦克风前,仍然心跳不止,但更重要的是,我终于能够勇敢地面对我的恐惧了,而这已足够了。
推荐英语经典美文诵读材料(精篇二knowing the consequences of choiceover the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute.right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had.in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows.therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch.finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme...if wecould agree what that was.however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available.the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour.today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers.today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century,as well as various chinese newspapers.fifteen years ago, english majors took only courses in language and literature.today, we also study western culture,journalism, business communications, international relations,and computer science.the emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in chinas history; an era of persity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation.we enjoy the abundance of choice.but this has not come easily.about 150 years ago, china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats.it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves.the policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.like others of my age, im too young to have eXperienced the time when the chinese people had no right to choose.however,as the neXt century draws near, it is time to ask: what doeschoice really mean to us young people?is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? is choice an empty promise that never materializes? or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?first, i would like to say: to choose means to claim opportunities.i am a third-year english major.an important choice for me,of course, is what to do upon graduation.i can go to graduate school, at home or abroad.i can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat.actually,the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in china.indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice.i would love to work in such big cities as beijing or shanghai or shenzhen.i would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate,though slightly lagging in development.i would love to stay in the coastal area where life is eXciting and fast-paced.i would also love to put down roots in central and western china, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.all of these sound good.but they are only possibilities.to those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities,i would like to say: to choose means to accept challenge.to usyoung people,challenge often emerges in the form of competition.in the neXt century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.with increasing international eXchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world.this is calling for a higher level of our personal development.fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage.but today, with wi der educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.as we gain more initiative in choice making,the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.as we gain more initiative in choice making,the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life.but it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.to those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices,i would like to say,to choose means to take responsibility.when we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "its just my own business." as policy makers of the neXt century,we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.the traditional chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family.to me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes.rather, it is the whole of the human family.as i am making my choices, i will not forget the smile of my teacher when i correctly spelled out the word "china" for the first time,i will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of jiangXi province.i will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in bosnia,chechnya and somali, where millions are suffering from war,famine or poverty.all these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family.at different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective.now as i am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives,because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.选择的重要性去年春节期间,我陷入过一场家庭纷争。
