英语散文：The colour of sky 天空的颜色The colour of sky天空的颜色If we look at the sky on a perfectly fine summer‘s day we shall find that the blue colour is the most pure and intense overhead，and when looking high up in a direction opposite to the sun.晴空万里的夏日，假如我们视察一下天空，且背向太阳，极目仰视，就会发觉头顶上空的蓝色最纯洁，最浓郁。

Near the horizon it is always less bright，while in the region immediately around the sun it is more or less yellow. The reason of this is that near the horizon we look through a very great thickness of the lower atmosphere，which is full of the larger dust particles reflecting white light，and this diluter(稀释剂) the pure blue of the higher atmosphere seen beyond，and in the vicinity(邻近，旁边) of the sun a good deal of the blue light is reflected back into space by the finer dust，thus giving a yellowish tinge to that which reaches us reflected chiefly from the coarse dust of the lower atmosphere.靠近天涯，色调往往较暗淡，太阳四周的地方那么略呈.这是因为我们向天涯望去时，目光要穿过极厚的低空大气层，其中布满颗粒较大的尘埃，反射出白光，这就冲淡了天际高空大气层的纯蓝色。

优美英文散文文章优美英文散文文章（精选8篇）优美英文散文文章篇1Though there is much to be concerned about,there is far,far more for which to be thankful.Though life's goodness can at times be overshadowed,it is never outweighed.For every single act that is senselessly destructive,there are thousands more small,quiet acts of love,kindness and compassion.For every person who seeks to hurt,there are many,many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details,look closely,for that goodness always comes shining through.There si no limit to the goodness of life.It grows more abundant with each new encounter.The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life,the more there is to be lived.Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows,the goodness of life lives on.Open your eyes,open your heart,and you will see that goodness is everywhere.Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks,it always endures.For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure.And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by thevery things that would oppose it.Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away.Around the next corner,inside every moment,the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts.Then,share your good fortune with another.For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger,the goodness of life grows stronger still,quietly,peacefully,with more purpose and meaning than ever before.优美英文散文文章篇2We are not born with courage,but neither are we born with fear.Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences,by what someone has told you,by what you've read in the papers.Some fears are valid,like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning.But once you learn to avoid that situation,you won't need to live in fear of it.Fears,even the most basic ones,can totally destroy our ambitions.Fear can destroy fortunes.Fear can destroy relationships.Fear,if left unchecked,can destroy our lives.Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within.The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference.What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum,let it slide.I'll just drift along.” Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the to of the mountain.The second enemy we face is indecision.Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise.It will steal your chances for a better future.Take a sword to this enemy.The third enemy inside is doubt.Sure,there's room for healthy skepticism.You can't believe everything.But you also can't let doubt take over.Many people doubt the past,doubt the future,doubt each other,doubt the government,doubt the possibilities nad doubt the opportunities.Worse of all,they doubt themselves.I'm telling you,doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success.It will empty both your bank account and your heart.Doubt is an enemy.Go after it.Get rid of it.The fourth enemy within is worry.We've all got to worry some.Just don't let conquer you.Instead,let it alarm you.Worry can be useful.If you step off the curb in New York City and a taxi is coming,you've got to worry.But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner.Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner.Whatever is out to get you,you've got to get it.Whatever is pushing on you,you've got to push back.The fifth interior enemy is overcaution.It is the timid approach to life.Timidity is not a virtue;it's an illness.If you let it go,it'll conquer you.Timid people don't get promoted.They don't advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace.You've got to avoid overcaution.Do battle with the enemy.Do battle with your fears.Build your courage to fight what's holding ou back,what's keeping you from your goals and dreams.Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.优美英文散文文章篇3Abundance is a life style,a way of living your life.It isn't something you buy now and then or pull down from the cupboard,dust off and use once or twice,and then return to the cupboard.Abundance is a philosophy;it appears in your physiology,your value system,and carries its own set of beliefs.You walk with it,sleep with it,bath with it,feel with it,and need to maintain and take care of it as well.Abundance doesn't always require money.Many people live with all that money can buy yet live empty inside.Abundance begins inside with some main self-ingredients,like love,care,kindness and gentleness,thoughtfulness and compassion.Abundance is a state of being.It radiates outward.It shines like the sun among the many moons in the world.Being from the brightness of abundance doesn't allow the darkness to appear or be in the path unless a choice to allow it to.The true state of abundance doesn't have room for lies or games normally played.The space is too full of abundance.This may be a challenge because we still need to shine for other to see.Abundance is seeing people for their gifts and not what they lack or could be.Seeing all things for their gifts and not what they lack.Start by knowing what your abundances are,fill that space with you,and be fully present from that state of being.Your profession of choice is telling you of knowing and possibilities.That is their gift.Consultants and customer service professionals have the ministrative assistants and virtual assistants have an abundance of coordination and time management.Abundance is all around you,and all within.See what it is;love yourself for what it is,not what you're missing,or what that can be better,but for what it is at this present moment.Be in a state of abundance of what you already have.I guarantee they are there;it always is buried but there.Breathe them in as if they are the air you breathe because they are yours.Let go of anything that isn't abundant for the time being.Name the shoe boxes in your closet with your gifts of abundance;pull from them every morning if needed.Know they are there.Learning to trust in your own abundance is required.When you begin to be within your own space of abundance,whatever you need will appear whenever you need it.That's just the way the higher powers set this universe up to work.Trust the universal energy.The knowing of it all will humble you to its power yet let the brightness of you shine everywhere it needs to.Just by being from a state of abundance,it is being you.优美英文散文文章篇4Happiness is universal.It can be found in you,in me,in the simple good fortune of survival.Happiness is a strength that comes from within,the appreciation for the world around us and the love we have for ourselves.Happiness can be found wherever you are.It lies in your bed and sits on your favorite chair.Happiness can be found in life's most simple pleasures like combing your hair or drawing a breath of fresh air.Happiness says she accompanied you to all the placesyou have been and in the future,happiness will pave a splendid path for your journey through life.Happiness is found in all that you have read.All you have learned will emanate from the bottom of your heart.Happiness is an image of this world reflected in your eyes.Its vividness lies not only in the vibrant colors and air but also in the exuberance of your dreams and smiles.Happiness can be found in the love and concern from your parents;happiness can be found in the innocence of your child's eyes.Happiness is the spring swallow's song carried to your ears by a gentle warm breeze.Happiness is a warm smile from a stranger as he passes by.Happiness is the feeling derived from challenges faced and overcome.Happiness is not found in one's destination,but rather on the road to that destination.We are all travelers in life's journey.Our happiness lies not in the future,but in every moment of each day.Happiness is a garden granted by God to every one.You can maintain the garden's beauty as intended by keeping that beauty within your heart.Happiness is derived from our attitude;it is not something that is bought or sold.Happiness is found when we resist temptation,when we maintain our lofty ideals even in the face of adversity.Happiness is a belief in yourself.Happiness is a key with which we open doors to opportunity.It is a code by which we live.You need only reach out to find happiness.With happiness both your heart and soul will be invigorated to achieve more than you ever dreamed and more than you ever thought possible.With happiness in your heart,love blossoms for every one in our life,and the world becomes your home.优美英文散文文章篇5Accustomed to the warm weather in the winter,I always love a sunny day to the sun.Because when there is sunshine,I always feel very good,and I don't know why I'm in a good mood,just see everything in the sunlight,it is so beautiful and glorious.Perhaps this is why the sky and sunshine asperse warm! Through the glass thin,looked at the sky,I saw the colorful color,is really very beautiful.That feeling is very beautiful,as if you can dream to the colorful world,where there is everything,everything is the most essence.I am in the winter sunshine particularly worship,especially after After rain the sky looks blue.When my mood is to click into place by yin.After lunch,the sun shines into the room,a plume of sunlight cast a light spot in the room is oval.At that time,I always love on the spot,the purpose is to block the spot not to let it shine.However,I do not know the spot has been shining on my body,but also formed an oval light spot.His smirk behind,is the mother of the slight chuckle.This is not for anything else,just see my mother was really very silly.Perhaps this is the innocence of a child touched mother or mother smile.In the house a bit stuffy,I took the chair into the yard,where the sun is very large.Although the scenery is not what the yard,but off the leaves of the tree trunks and branches are bare.And in the middle there is a big tree there are many small broken branches broken grass build magpie nest.I love sitting in a chair looking up at the tree on the magpie nest.How do you think of magpie nest? What's on the tree when there's a magpie? So imperceptibly,the body was cold temperature rise.It feels so warm! So,I just take off clothes,look up the book in the best of spirits.At that time the feeling is very comfortable,very beautiful.Think about the fire in the cold stamping way,think in the cold breath warm hands,the winter sunis really more precious than what.I appreciate the sun in the winter,although the continuous rain let the sun for a long time can not spread,but the sun is still by virtue of their patience and perseverance until the time of the end of the rainy.That is the sun to show their time.He was trying to make up for the warmth that people had not enjoyed before,a real green product from nature.This is the charm and value of winter sunshine.It drives people out of an idle at home,to bring people warm feeling.Let the world from the dead to the state full of vigour.The winter sun love I feel,the winter sun there is a barometer of my mood.I am depressed from in an unbroken line wet,it let me do what no patience,I feel very upset.It feels like the world is grey,it's nothing to live with,maybe it's my prejudice,but this is something I've been born with,and I have no way to change it.But when the sun dispelled the sunny rain down is my mood click into place.The habits that friends have been used,they gave me a title of "sunflower".I love to follow the winter sun.I don't mind,because I love the winter sunshine.The winter sunshine gives me warmth,gives me energy,gives me the mood,and I am its "vane",and it is my "God"".优美英文散文文章篇6What is the significance of life? Is there any gauge to measure it? It would be very difficult,of course,trying to advance an absolute standard.However,the significance of one's existence can more or less be rated by examining his attitude toward life and work.Since ancient times all people of accomplishment are very serious about their lives.While they are alive,even if there is only one day left to live,they try to work as hard as they can and learnas much as possible,never letting a single day slip by without any gain.This is true of the working people as well as of the great statesmen and great thinkers in our history.In the chapter “Foods and Goods" of The C hronicles of the Han Dynasty,the great historian Ban Gu states:"In winter people stay indoors.Women get together to spin hemp threads at night.They manage to work forty-five days in a month."”It sounds strange.How come there are forty-five days in a month? Let us look at its annotations given by Yanshigu:"They gain half a day 's time every night and,they have forty-five days in a month."Now it's clear.Our ancestors had,earlier than the westerners,learned how to calculate workdays accurately and reasonably.They had also learned how calculate day shift and night shift as well.It is common knowledge that there are only thirty days in a month.Counting the time of one night for half a day,our forefathers managed to expend the month by fifteen days.In this sense the night time gained amounts to one third of our lives,doesn't it?This one third of life is not only treasured by the working people but also by the great statesmen in our history.In the chapter "Criminal Law" of The Chronicles of the Han Dynasty,Ban Gu also states:"The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty set a good example in being industrious,disposing of lawsuits during the day and reading at night ,"This is about how he tried to find time to read at night.To some people the The First Emperor of the Qin isn't a pleasant name to recall but there is no denying that he was agreat figure in the history of China.Even BanGu has an impartial opinion of him.Liu Xiang,the great scholar of the Han Dynasty ,cites in his historical Anecdotes many princes of the Spring and Autumn period and Warring States period who paid great attention to learning.Why did the people in the set such great store by the night time? I think this is positive proof of their attitude toward the one third of their lives.This is exactly what we should learn from them.My intention of writing this little essay tonight is to call the readers' attention to the one third of his lifetime so that ,after working for a whole day,he can sit relaxed at home,browsing through and appreciating the useful knowledge of the past and of the present.优美英文散文文章篇7Fame is very much like an animal chasing its own tail who,when he captures it,does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.Fame and the delighting popularity that accompanies it,force the famous person to participate in his or her own destruction.Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing,dancing,painting,or writing,etc.The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity.And it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style,since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy.But in time,the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year,or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits,or the actor is tired of playing the same characterrepeatedly.The demand of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own success,fame.If the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing,etc.the audience may turn away and look to confer changeable fame which is passing quickly on another.I believe that fame and celebrity,influence and power,success and failure,reality and illusion are all somehow neatly woven into a seamless fabric we laughingly call reality.I say to those who desperately seek fame and fortune,celebrity: good luck.But what will you do when you have caught your tail,your success,and your fame? Keep chasing it? If you do catch it,hang on for dear life because falling is not as painful as landing.See you soon famous and almost famous.优美英文散文文章篇8I grew up in a small town where the elementary school wasa ten-minute walk from my house and in an age,not so long ago ,when children could go home for lunch and find their mothers waiting.At the time,I did not consider this a luxury,although today it certainly would be.I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers,the finger-painting appreciators and the homework monitors.I never questioned that this ambitious,intelligent woman,who had had a career before I was born and would eventually return to a career,would spend almost every lunch hour throughout my elementary school years just with me.I only knew that when the noon bell rang,I would race breathlessly home.My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs,smiling down at me with a look that suggested I wasthe only important thing she had on her mind.For this,I am forever grateful.Some sounds bring it all back: the high-pitched squeal of my mother's teakettle,the rumble of the washing machine in the basement and the jangle of my dog's license tags as she bounded down the stairs to greet me.Our time together seemed devoid of the gerrymandered schedules that now pervade my life.One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always.I had been picked to be the princess in the school play,and for weeks my mother had painstakingly rehearsed my lines with me.But no matter how easily I delivered them at home,as soon as I stepped onstage,every word disappeared from my head.Finally,my teacher took me aside.She explained that she had written a narrator's part to the play,and asked me to switch roles.Her word,kindly delivered,still stung,especially when I saw my part go to another girl.I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day.But she sensed my unease,and instead of suggesting we practice my lines,she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine on the trellis was turning green.Under the huge elm trees,we could see yellow dandelions popping through the grass in bunches,as if a painter had touched our landscape with dabs of gold .I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the clumps."I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,"she said,yanking a blossom up by its roots."From now on,we'll have only roses in this garden.""But I like dandelions,"I protested."All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions."My mother looked at me seriously."Yes,everyflower gives pleasure in its own way,doesn't it?" She asked thoughtfully.I nodded,pleased that I had won her over."And that is true of people too,"she added." Not everyone can be a princess,but there is no shame in that."Relieved that she had guessed my pain,I started to cry as I told her what had happened.She listened and smiled reassuringly."But you will be a beautiful narrator," she said ,reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her ."The narrator's part is every bit as important as the part of a princess.。

Now I wondered, willhe ever see one againIt was a heart attack. Dad s third.When I got to the hospital at 2 a.m., he was losing the fight. As the familyhovered at his bedside, he drifted in and out of consciousness.Once he looked up at.Mom sitting beside the bed holding his hand. Theywant me to let go, he said, :but I can t. I don t want to. Mom patted his arm. Just hold on to me, she murmured.The next morning the cardiologist met us in the waiting room. He s stillfighting, the doaor said. I ve never seen such strengthMy youngest brother was only five when Ileft home 30 years ago.Relation-ships between my brothers- and sisters had become -frayed because of dis-tance and commitments to our own families. But Dad needed his childrennow, so we stayed at the hospital. During the long vigil, we reminisced aboutour years at home.A miner, Dad had not had an easy life. He and Mom raised six kids at a timewhen coal miners eamed as little as 25 cents a ton, and he loaded nine tonsa day. Even now, I m sure we don t know most of the sacrifices they madefor us.I remembered Dad s hard hat, its carbide lamp showing a fine pall of coaldust. Dad s graygreen eyes seemed large and wise as an owl sin his black-ened face. They often sparkled with devilment when theymet yours inconversation. .Each evening he came home, eager to take up his crosscut saw or clawhammer. Dad could chock a piece of walnut on his lathe and deffly tum outa beautiful salad bowl for Mom. He could build a cherry fold-top desk withfine, dovetailed drawers as easily as he could fashion a fishing-line threaderout of an old ballpoint pen.Dad bought our plain, two-story house from the coal company and immedi~ately began to remodel it. Our house was the first on the hill to have anindoor bathroom and hot water. He spent one summer digging out the clay-filled foundation to install a coal furnace. We children no longer shivered inour bed-rooms on cold winter mornings.We loved to watch him work. When Dad needed something, we ran to getit. If we called it a thingamabob he would say, That s a nail set (thetool for sinking the head of a nail below the surface of the wood). It has aname. Use it. Dad carried a spirit of craftsmanship into every job and expeaed the samefrom all six children. Each job had its claim on your best efforts. And evertool had its name. Those were his principles, and we lived by them just aSDad did.His playful spirit would set us to giggling-like the time he was buildingfireplace in the back yard. He sent us to look for the stone-bender he needeto make the comer stones fit more evenly. Guess I ll have to bend theiamyself, he said when we retumed empty-handed. We saw the sparkle in.bijeyes, and knew we d been had.Sitting in the hospitalwaitting room, I thought back to an afteon in Dad sworkshop several years ago..He was retired by then, but he kept busy building beautiful furniture, now for his children s homes.A volunteer naturalist,I was eager to tell him about the help bluebirds needed.When the early settlers had cleared forests for farmland, I explained, blueLbirds flourished, nesting in fence-posts and orchard trees. But their habitatwas disappearing, and now the birds needed nesting boxesDad listened as-I spoke, his hands gently moving a finegrained sand-paperover a piece of oak. I asked him if he would like to build a box. He said hewould think about it.Several weeks later he invited me into his workshop. There, on his workbench,sat three well-crafted bluebird nesting boxes. Think the birds willlike themThe asked.As much as I do, I replied, hugging him. Dad put up the boxes, and thenext spring bluebirds nested in his yard. He was hooked.Dad became quite an expert on the species. Bluebirds, he would say, areharbingers of hope and triumph, renowned for family loyalty.A pair willhave two or three broods a year, the earlier young sometimes helping to feedthe later nestlings.The presence of his children must have boosted Dad s spirits afterhis attackbecause he grew stronger and left the hospital on Valentine s Day WhenI visited my parents at the end of March, Dad was confined to the downstairs.But I noticed that he paused longer and longer at the windows facing theback yard. I knew what he was hoping to see. And one day a bright flash ofcolor circled the nesting box closest to our house.Well, it s about time the rascals showed, don t you think Dad said.Sporting a resplendent blue head, back, wings and tail, a male bluebird sanghis courtship song so passionately that we dubbed him Caruso, after theItalian tenor. A female appeared, but rejected the nesting box. Caruso foundanother in the field below the yard. He circled the new box, singing feverishly.She remained aloof on a distant perch.Dad was walking more and more each day as the love story unfolded. Icould see strength coming back into his wiry frame.One day Caruso battled a rival for the female s attentions. Then she foughtan even more vehement battle with another female. Afterward she resumedher haughty. stance while he fervently continued with his rapturous repertoire.Suddenly one exquisite morning, when the sky mirrored Caruso scourtingraiment, she flew back to the box nearest the house and inspected itthoroughly. Caruso hovered nearby and sang blissfully as she finally acceptedhim.Shortly thereafter she proceeded to lay one egg a day until there were six.Caruso fluttered outside, defending the nest while she incubated.Dad was now well enough to go outside, but he still couldn t reach the back-yard. He asked us to check inside the nesting box once a day. When we dreturn, the questions came. Is she on the nest he asked. Have the eggshatched Did you see that showboat what s-his-name Caruso, Dad, I replied. He has a name, you know. Dad s sly grin re:flected the devilment that had returned to his eyes.When the eggs hatched, we marveled at the herculean efforts Caruso andhis mate expended to capture insects for their brood. Nestlings must be fedevery 20 minutes.Near the end of May, the fledglings left the nest. By then Dad was able towalk to the fields beyond and see what other bluebird news there might be.Mom and I would watch him from the kitchen window. He gave some-thing to those bluebirds, she said quietly one day. Now they ve given itback.蓝知更鸟的希望我们的汽车奔驰西行越过州界，宾夕法尼亚州一派严冬景象，时令不正常，可是我对蓝知更鸟一直不能忘怀。

以下是小编分享的英语散文名篇欣赏，欢迎大家阅读!英语散文名篇欣赏(一)Love and Time 爱和时间Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,"Richness, can you take me with you?"Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!""I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you.""Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?""It was Time," Knowledge answered."Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."爱和时间从前有一个岛，所有的情感都住在那里：幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的，爱也不例外。

优美的双语散文十六篇

优美的双语散文十六篇1、What I Have Lived For Bertrand Russell Three passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed mylife: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearablepity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds,have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deepocean of anguish, reaching to the verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy --- ecstasyso great that I would have sacrificed all the rest of life for a fewhours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relievesloneliness --- that terrible loneliness in which one shiveringconsciousness looks over the rim of the world into cold unfathomablelifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union oflove I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision ofthe heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what Isought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this iswhat --- at last --- I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished tounderstand the hearts of men, I have wished to know why the starsshine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by whichnumber holds away above the flux. A little of this, but not much, Ihave achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upwardtoward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoesof cries of pain reverberated in my heart. Children in famine,victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burdento their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and painmake a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate theevil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and I wouldgladly live it again if the chance were offered to me. 我为何而活伯兰特.罗素三种简单却极其强烈的情感主宰着我的生活：对爱的渴望、对知识的追求、对人类痛苦的难以承受的怜悯之心。

英语散文篇一Love Your LifeHowever 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 mans 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 towns 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。

优美的英语散文5篇英语精美的散文篇1Touch Me is a soliloquy(独白)composed by Hank Miller, about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. also known as “The Wall”. This monument is one of the most visited sites in the city of Washington.-----By Hank Miller(California professional photographer, freelance writer, former Naval Aviator, and a Vietnam veteran)Touch me. Don’t be afraid. I can’t hurt you. Go ahead and touch my smooth surface. Feel the cold, glass-like smoothness and the crevices and lines that make me what I am. Use both hands if you wish. We are more similar than you dare to believe.Touch my face. Yes, I have a face like yours. It has weathered the centuries as yours has the years. My face portrays my evolution. Yours, the birth and death of a generation. My face has aged like yours as we have endured together the testimony of earth elements.I have eyes like yours. My inscriptions stare out at you as I search for the meaning of why we are here. I look into your eyes and see who you are. Who am I? I was formed millions of years past and now you see the results of my evolution.I can feel your hands and the sweat from your palms flow into thecountless combination of the letters that make me. I know you. I have known you since I was able to breathe in the air as my smoothness began to take shape and my color matured along with natural flaws. You have known me since the days when you came to take me from my mother.You cannot hear me. I am static and unmoving. But, I can hear your murmurs and your cries of pain and sadness. Your sons and daughters ask why? There are no answers. I am very old. I have seen everything and I am none the wiser for the pain and suffering and I have witnessed since I rose from the bowels of the earth. I have witnessed the conflict, the death, the civilizations, and the societies that have come before you. Yet I remain mystified about this day.I feel sad yet alive with a purpose. I have come to know those who are now an integral part of the reason for my being here at this place and time. That purpose has become apparent as I stand before you on this day while your brethren gather to witness my reflections and the changes of light that mirror your soul.I am a reflection of you…I am all of you…I am your spirit..I am The Wall.英语精美的散文篇2Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry,”most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,”she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter’s sleep I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me alush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips. At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action fill the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light and the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather that as a means of adding fullness to life.Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for three days!英语精美的散文篇3One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget.As he stood in front of the group of overachievers he said, "OK, time for a quiz." He pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, heasked, "Is this jar full?"Everyone in the class yelled, "Yes." The time management expert replied, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is this jar full?"By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" One eager student raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!""No," the speaker replied, "that‘s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don‘t put the big rocks in first, you‘ll never get them in at all. What are the ‘big rocks‘in your life? Time with your loved ones, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these big rocks infirst or you‘ll never get them in at all."英语精美的散文篇4My grandfather died when I was a small boy, and my grandmother started staying with us for about six months every year. She lived in a room that doubled as my father‘s office, which we referred to as "the back room." She carried with her a powerful aroma.I don‘t know what kind of perfume she used, but it was the double-barreled, ninety-proof, knockdown, render-the-victim-unconscious, moose-killing variety. She kept it in a huge atomizer and applied it frequently and liberally. It was almost impossible to go into her room and remain breathing for any length of time. When she would leave the house to go spend six months with my Aunt Lillian, my mother and sisters would throw open all the windows, strip the bed, and take out the curtains and rugs. Then they would spend several days washing and airing things out, trying frantically to make the pungent odor go away.This, then, was my grandmother at the time of the infamous pea incident.It took place at the Biltmore Hotel, which, to my eight-year-old mind, was just about the fancies place to eat in all of Providence. My grandmother, my mother, and I were having lunch after a morning spent shopping. I grandly ordered a salisbury steak, confident in theknowledge that beneath that fancy name was a good old hamburger with gravy. When brought to the table, it was accompanied by a plate of peas.I do not like peas now. I did not like peas then. I have always hated peas. It is a complete mystery to me why anyone would voluntarily eat peas. I did not eat them at home. I did not eat them at restaurants. And I certainly was not about to eat them now."Eat your peas," my grandmother said."Mother," said my mother in her warning voice. "He doesn‘t like peas. Leave him alone."“My grandmother did not reply, but there was a glint in her eye and a grim set to her jaw that signaled she was not going to be 14)thwarted. She leaned in my direction, looked me in the eye, and uttered the fateful words that changed my life: "I‘ll pay you five dollars if you eat those peas."I had absolutely no idea of the impending doom. I only knew that five dollars was an enormous, nearly unimaginable amount of money, and as awful as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and the possession of that five dollars. I began to force the wretched things down my throat.My mother was livid. My grandmother had that self-satisfied look of someone who has thrown down an unbeatable trump card. "I cando what I want, Ellen, and you can‘t stop me." My mother glared at her mother. She glared at me. No one can glare like my mother. If there were a glaring Olympics, she would undoubtedly win the gold medal.I, of course, kept shoving peas down my throat. The glares made me nervous, and every single pea made me want to throw up, but the magical image of that five dollars floated before me, and I finally gagged down every last one of them. My grandmother handed me the five dollars with a flourish. My mother continued to glare in silence. And the episode ended. Or so I thought.My grandmother left for Aunt Lillian‘s a few weeks later. That night, at dinner, my mother served two of my all-time favorite foods, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Along with them came a big, steaming bowl of peas. She offered me some peas, and I, in the very last moments of my innocent youth, declined. My mother fixed me with a cold eye as she heaped a huge pile of peas onto my plate. Then came the words that were to haunt me for years."You ate them for money," she said. "You can eat them for love."Oh, despair! Oh, devastation! Now, too late, came the dawning realization that I had unwittingly damned myself to a hell from which there was no escape."You ate them for money. You can eat them for love."What possible argument could I muster against that? There was none. Did I eat the peas? You bet I did. I ate them that day and every other time they were served thereafter. The five dollars were quickly spent. My grandmother passed away a few years later. But the legacy of the peas lived on, as it lives on to this day. If I so much as curl my lip when they are served (because, after all, I still hate the horrid little things), my mother repeats the dreaded words one more time: "You ate them for money," she says. "You can eat them for love."英语精美的散文篇5An ancient Hebraic text says:" love is as strong as death". It seems that not everyone experiences this kind of strong love. The increasing probably,crime and war tells us that the world is in indispensable need of true love. But what is true love?Love is something we all need.But how do we know when we experience it?True love is best seen as the promotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based how we feel.Certainly our emotions are involved.But they cannot be our only criteria for love.True love is when you care enough about another person that you will lay down your life for them. When this happens,then love truly is as strong as death.How many of you have a mother, or father,husband or wife,son or daughter or friend who would sacrificehis or her own life on yours? Those of you who truly love your spells but unchildren, would unselfishly lay your life on the line to save them from death? Many people in an emergency room with their loved ones and prayed"please, God,take me instead of them".Find true love and be a true lover as well.May you find a love which is not only strong as death, but to leave to a truly for feeling life.。

But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn.Bereavements and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的人生.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的人生也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。

痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。

甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。

在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。

In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.在人生和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。

英语唯美散文篇一I love to be alone.We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers.A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows.The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervish in the desert.We meet at the post-office, and at the sociable, and about the fireside every night; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.Consider the girls in a factory---never alone, hardly in their dreams.It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live.The value of a man is not in his skin, that we should touch him.I am no more lonely than the loon in the pond that laughs so loud, or than Walden Pond itself.And yet it has not the blue devils, but the blue angels in it, in the azure tint of its waters.I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee.I am no more lonely than the Millbrook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house.我发现人若大部分时间用于独处，将有益身心。

Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway and it just wasn#39;t worth to retrieve the donkey. So, he decided to bury it!He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly, then slowly he quieted down till nothing more was heard.A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing! He would shake it off and take a step up!As the farmer#39;s neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping, never giving up, shaking it off, and taking a step up!Remember the five simple rules to be happy:1、Free your heart from hatred.2、Free your mind from worries.3、Trust in God.4、Give more.5、Expect less.英语写作参考文章篇二HOW TO GET HAPPINESS如何获得快乐There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.Without it,life will be empty and meaningless.If you wish to know how to get happiness,you must pay attention to the following two points.First,health is the secret of happiness(the key to happiness)。

Why was this old woman makingsuch a fuss about an old copse which was of no useto anybody? She had written letters to the localpaper, even to a national, protesting about aprojected by-pass to her village, and, looking at amap, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasn't as if the area was attractive. Iwas more than puzzled, I was intrigued.The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly, andI wanted to know what it was that motivated her.我实在不明白!为什么这个年老女士会对一片毫无用处的老灌木林如此紧张呢?她给当地报纸写了信，甚至给全国性的报纸也写了信，对拟将在她们村子里修建小路的方案表示抗议。

但从地图上看，这条拟建的小路离她家并不近，那一带也并非风景优美。

这不仅使我感到迷惑，还激起了我的好奇心。

很快就要进行对新小路的调查了，我想了解一下她反对的原因。

So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith andthen being taken for a walk to the woods."I've always loved this place," she said, "it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We allused it. They called it 'Lovers lane'. It's not much of a lane, and it doesn't go anywhereimportant, but that's why we all came here.

英语散文名篇欣赏三篇英语散文名篇欣赏篇一生活之路The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting.大多数人的生活被他们身处的环境所决定。

他们不仅接受既定的命运，而且顺从命运的安排。

他们就像街上的有轨电车一样，在他们既定的轨道上行驶，而对于那些不时出没于车水马龙间和欢快地奔驰在旷野上的廉价小汽车却不屑一顾。

我尊重他们，他们是好市民、好丈夫和好父亲。

当然，总得有些人来支付税收，但是，他们并没有令人激动的地方。

I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it in to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or to the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the turning we did.另外有一些人，他把生活掌握在自己的手里，可以按照自己的喜好去创造生活，尽管这样的人少之又少，但我却被他们深深地吸引着。

英语散文阅读篇1Today I begin a new life.Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediority.Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard,for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me,generation upon generation.Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me.The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth.Yet I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts which will guide through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. Just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure, likepain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain. Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides will seem no more than my just reward.Time teaches all things to him who lives forever but I have not the luxury of eternity. Yet within my allotted time I must practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. To create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required. An onion plant is old in nine weeks. I have lived as an onion plant. It has not pleased me. Now I wouldst become the greatest of olive trees and, in truth, the greatest of salesman.And how will this be accomplished? For I have neither the knowledge nor the experience to achieve the greatness and already I have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of self-pity. The answer is simple. I will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience. Nature already has supplied me with knowledge and instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly.In truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her course of instruction devours mens years so the value of her lessons diminishes with the time necessary to acquire her special wisdom. The end finds it wasted on dead men. Furthermore, experience is comparable to fashion; an action that proved successful today will be unworkable and impractical tomorrow.Only principles endure and these I now possess, for the laws that will lead me to greatness are contained in the words of thesescrolls. What they will teach me is more to prevent failure than to gain success, for what is success other than a state of mind? Which two, among a thouand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. Failure is mans inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be. 英语散文阅读篇2Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the familys only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. "Dont you know, young lady, " he said harshly, "when you give someone a present theres supposed to be something inside the package!"The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: "Daddy, its not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faceddifficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.英语散文阅读篇3I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-freelife equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.英语散文阅读篇4Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man onthe other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."英语散文阅读篇5A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on themorning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embossed in gold.Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hopedfor. Sometimes we dont realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.英语散文阅读篇6Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time.Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest.The baby eagle was hungry. "Im sure to die," said the baby eagle, all the time."Very soon, death is coming," he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him.Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried"Why did you abandon me? Im going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?"The mother said, "Here is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it.""Come get it!" said the baby, with much anger. "How?"The mother flew away.The baby cried and cried and cried.A few days later, "Im going to end it all," he said. "I give up. It is time for me to die."He didnt know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal."Eat this, its your last meal," she said.The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was."Youre a terrible mother," he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest.He fell.Head first.Picked up speed.Faster and faster.He screamed. "Im dying Im dying," he cried. He picked up more speed.He looked up at his mother. "How could you do this to me?"He looked down.The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. "This isnt fair!" he screamed.Something strange happens.The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced.He looked down and saw the sky. He wasnt moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun."Huh?" he said. "What is going on here!""Youre flying," his mother said."This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and ped and swooped."Yes it is!" said the mother.。
