英语美文30篇英语美文30 篇01-YouthYouth 原文Youth 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, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempera-mental 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 spring back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.名家译文青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

从这影片的名字，我想到和影片毫无关系的另外的事。

我想，自己如果做了王，这世界会成为一种怎样的光景呢?这自然是一种完全可笑的幻想，我根本不想做王，也根本看不起王，王是什么东西呢?难道我脑中还有如此封建的残物么?而且真想做王的人，他将用他的手法去打天下，决不会放在口里说的。

但是假定又假定，我若为王，这世界会成为一种怎样的光景?Recently in a movie magazine I came across the title of a film: If I Were King. It has put me in mind of something entirely foreign to the film in question. I wonder what would become of this world if I myself were king. This is of course a ridiculous fancy, for being a king is the last thing I aspire to and also a thing I utterly despise. What the hell is a king? How can I still be so feudalistic in my mind? Moreover, if one is really bent on being a king, he will try to carry out his design by deeds instead of by words. But, to put it hypothetically, suppose I were king, what would this world look like?我若为王，自然我的妻就是王后了。

经典英语美文(汉英)

1 "I Have a Dream" by 马丁.路德.金In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.2 自古精英出狂人——Larry PageI think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams.I know that sounds completely nuts.But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.They all travel as ifthey are pack dogs and stick to each other like glue.The best people want to work on the big challenges.That is what happened with Google.Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.How can that not get you excited?But we almost didn't start Google actually because my co-founder Sergey and I were too worried about dropping out of our Ph.D. program.None of you have that issue it seems.You are probably on the right track, if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm!That is about how we felt after we maxed out three credit cards buying hard disks off the back of a truck.That was actually the first hardware for Google.我认为，自古精英出狂人。

That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said: “Our story is ending.”The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me.

1\学会生活在现实中Learn to live in the present momentTo a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live on the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are---always!我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中所决定的．不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处．2/Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about variety of things--all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns dominate your present moments, so much so that we end up anxious,frustrated,depressed,andhopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that 'someday' never actually arrives. Jhon Lennone once said, "Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans." When we are busy making 'other plans', our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, wemiss out on life.毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担心忧虑上－－而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情．我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以至我们整日焦虑不安，委靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望．而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的xx，常常说服自己＂有朝一日＂会比今天更好．不幸的是，如此告戒我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以至＂有朝一日＂哟贫农公元不会真的来临．约翰．xx曾经说过：＂生活就是当我们忙于制定别的计划时发生的事．＂当我们忙于指定种种＂别的计划＂时，我们的孩子在忙于xx，我们挚爱的人里去了甚至快去世了，我们的体型变样了，而我们的梦想也在消然溜走了．一句话，我们错过了生活．3/Many people lives as if life is a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one have a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When we put our attention on the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future--we won't have enoughh money,our children will get into trouble,we will get old and die,whatever.许多人的生活好象是某个未来日子的彩排．并非如此．事实上，没人能保证他或她肯定还活着．现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间，现在也是我们能控制的唯一的时间．当我们将注意力放在此时此刻时，我们就将恐惧置于脑后．恐惧就是我们担忧某些事情会在未来发生－－我们不讳有足够的钱，我们的孩子会惹上麻烦，我们会变老，会死去，诸如此类．4/To combat fear, the best stradegy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said,"I have been through some terrible things in life, some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your effort will pay great dividends.若要克服恐惧心理，最佳策略是学会将你的注意力拉回此时此刻．xx．吐温说过：＂我经历过生活中一些可怕的事情，有些的确发生过．＂我想我说不出比这更具内涵的话．经常将注意力集中于此情此景，此时此刻，你的努力终会有丰厚的报偿．5\How High Can You Jump?Flea trainers have observed a strange habit of fleas while training them. Fleas are trained by putting them in a cardboard box with a top on it. The fleas will jump up and hit the top of the cardboard box over and over and over again.As you watch them jump and hit the lid, something very interesting becomes obvious. The fleas continue to jump, but they are no longer jumping high enough to hit the top.When you take off the lid, the fleas continue to jump, but they will not jump out of the box. They won't jump out because they can't jump out. Why? The reason is simple. They have conditioned themselves to jump just so high.Once they have conditioned themselves to jump just so high, that's all they can do!Many times, people do the same thing. They restrict themselves and never reach their potential. Just like the fleas, they fail to jump higher, thinking they are doing all they can do.跳蚤训练人在训练跳蚤时发现跳蚤有一个奇怪的习惯。

I was rebellious1 out－side,but I wanted to be liked inside.Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t easy,and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home,I was different,not so outwardly sure of myself.I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope,who was staying with us,was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren’t there. I told my mom,and she expla ined that though Penelope was a lovely girl,no one could replace me. I pointed out,“Ｓhe is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful qualities,but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.I became a searcher,wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn’t like any more,and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special,no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be.当我还是个10几岁的少年的时候,觉得自己总是让人失望.从外表上看,我似乎很叛逆,但是在内心深处,我是如此地渴望被人疼爱.有一次我离开了家和我的朋友佩内洛普搭便车去了加利福尼亚.这次旅行并不轻松,而且有很多次我感觉不安.有一次的突发状况让我一直庆幸自己还活着.回到家,我发觉自己变了,看上去不那么自信了.我很高兴能回到家,但不久我注意到和我们一起的佩内洛普穿着我的衣服,而且我父母看上去更喜欢她,我想知道如果我不在家的话他们是否会想念我.后来,我把我的想法告诉了母亲,她说尽管佩内洛普是个可爱的女孩,但她始终不能取代我,我说：“她比我有耐心而且无论何时看上去她都比我要整洁大方.”母亲说这些都是非常好的优点,但我却是惟一个能扮演好自己角色的人.母亲让我感到尽管我有缺点———似乎还很多———但是,我被家中每一个人爱着,谁也无法取代.我成了一个探寻者,想要知道自己到底是谁,又是什么让我变得独一无二.我的人生观开始改变.我需要一个坚固的基础来发展,我忍受住压力,不再做自己不喜欢做的事.而且我为真实的我感到高兴.渐渐地我越发肯定自己无可替代.每个人在这个世界上都占有一个独一无二的位置.无论别人说什么,你自己怎么想,你都是特别的.所以,不要担心自己会被取代,因为你永远是惟一的.2就在正上方太多的时候,我们总认为光明就在脚下,就在不远的前方,于是忘了去仰望头顶的那片天……If you put a buzzard1 in a pen2 six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt3 to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble4 creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle5 about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation6 from which it can throw itself intothe air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.A bumblebee7 if dropped into an open tumbler8 will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists9 in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations10, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.如果把一只秃鹫放在一个6～8平方英尺的无顶围栏里,这只大鸟尽管会飞,也绝对会成为这栏中之囚.原因是秃鹫从地面起飞前总要先助跑10～12英尺的距离.这是它的习惯,如果没有了足够的助跑空间,它甚至不会尝试去飞,只会终身困囿于一个无顶的小囚笼中.晚上飞来飞去的普通的蝙蝠,本是一种在空中极其敏捷的动物,但却无法在平地上起飞.如果被放在地板或平坦的地面上,它就只会无助地挪动,毫无疑问这样很痛苦.除非它到了稍高的位置,有了落差,才可以立刻闪电般地起飞.一只大黄蜂如果掉进了一个敞口平底玻璃杯里,除非有人把它拿出来,否则它就会一直呆在里边直到死去.它永远不知道可以从杯口逃出,只坚持试图从杯底的四壁寻找出路.它会在根本不存在出口的地方寻找出路,直到彻底毁了自己.其实在很多方面,很多人也像秃鹫、蝙蝠和大黄蜂一样,使尽浑身解数试图解决问题、克服挫折,却没有意识到解决之道就在正上方.Vocabulary1.buzzard n. 动秃鹫2.pen pen n. 围栏,围圈3.attempt vt. 尝试,企图4.nimble adj. 敏捷的5.shuffle v. 拖着脚走,慢吞吞地走6.elevation n. 高地,海拔7.bumblebee n. 动大黄蜂8.tumbler n. 平底玻璃杯9.persist vi. 坚持,持续10.frustration n. 失败,挫折3我的第一份工作Both my parents came from towns in Mexico. I was born in El Paso, Texas, and when I was four, my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.Even though we struggled to make ends meet, my parents stressed1 to me and my four brothers and sisters how fortunate wewere to live in a great country with limitless opportunities. They imbued2 in us the concepts of family, faith and patriotism.I got my first real job when I was ten. My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a cardboard-box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist. He rented space in a little mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr. Ben's Coiffure3.The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m. To pick up trash, Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower. Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter4 by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot. I'd sleep in the car on the way home.I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime. I acquired5 discipline and a strong work ethic6, and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life's competing interests7 — in my case8, school, homework and a job. This really helped during my senior year of high school, when I worked 40 hours a week flipping9 burgers at a fast-food joint10 while taking a full load of percolate courses.The hard work paid off11. I attended12 the U.S. Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degrees in law and business from Harvard. Later, I joined a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the California state assembly. In these jobs and in everything else I've done, I have never forgotten those days in the parking lot. The experience taught me that there is dignity13 in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families that is something we should honor.我的父母都来自墨西哥的小镇.我出生于得克萨斯州的埃尔帕索城.我四岁时,全家搬到了东洛杉矶的一处低收入住宅区.尽管我们当时要做到收支平衡都很困难,但父母仍对我和四个兄弟姐妹强调说,能在这样一个充满无限机遇的国家里落户,我们是多么幸运啊他们给我们灌输了家庭、信仰以及爱国主义的观念.十岁的时候,我得到了人生第一份真正的工作.我的爸爸本杰明在纸箱厂工作时背部受了伤.经过再培训,他成了一名发型师.他在一个规模不大的商业区租下了一个摊位,并给他的店取了个奇妙的名字：“本先生的发型”.商业中心的老板在租金上给爸爸打了个折扣,但条件是每周打扫三次停车场,这意味着凌晨三点就要起床干活.爸爸用一个看起来像除草机的小机器来收捡垃圾,而我和妈妈则要清空垃圾桶并用手拾捡散落的垃圾.打扫这个停车场要用两到三个小时.我总是在回家时的车里就睡着了.这份工作我干了两年,但从中学到的东西却让我受用终生.我学会了自律,建立了很强的职业道德.从小我就懂得了平衡生活中各种利益冲突的重要性——对我而言,就是上学、作业和工作.这在我高二那年真是很有用处.那时,我在一家快餐连锁店制作汉堡包,每周工作四十个小时,同时还肩负着沉重的大学预科课程的学习任务.辛勤的工作终见回报.我考入了美国军事学院,接着又获得了哈佛大学的法律和商业硕士学位.后来,我进入洛杉矶一家着名的律师事务所并被选为加州议会参议员.在做这些工作和其他所有事情的过程中,我从未忘记过在停车场辛勤工作的那些日子.那段经历使我懂得工作无贵贱, 靠自食其力来供养自己和家人就值得人们敬佩.Vocabulary1.stress stres v. 强调,着重2.imbue v. 灌输,深深影响3.coiffure n. 发式4.litter n. 废弃物,被胡乱扔掉的东西尤指废纸等杂物5.acquire vt. 获得,学到6.work ethic: 职业道德7.interest n. 利益,利害关系8.in one's case: 就某人的情况而言9.flip vt. 使翻转10.joint n. 连接,结合,本文中指连锁店11.pay off: 得到好结果,取得成功12.attend E5tend vt. 上大学等13.dignity 5dI^nItI n. 尊贵,高贵4饼干里的秘密ＪｅｒｒｙＨａｒｐｔForty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name ofa mere1acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of an old lady, whowas a customer on the paper route in my home town when I was atwelve-year-old boy. Yet it dwells2in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget.On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stonesonto the slanted3roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the stoneschanged to missiles4as they rolled to the roof's edge and shot outinto the yard like comets5falling from the sky. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headedstraight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady'sback porch6. At the sound of fractured7glass, we knew we were in trouble. We turned tail8and ran faster than any of our missiles flewoff her roof.I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about9the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence10.I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hopedthat the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.I waited until it was dark, snuck up11to the old lady's house, and put the letter I didn't sign through the letter slot12in her door. My soul felt redeemed13and I could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked mefor the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and proceeded14to eat the cookies as I continued my route.After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it outof the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was stunned15. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, "I'm proud of you."记住一个仅是认识的人的名字,43年似乎是段很长的时间.我已经忘了那位老太太的名字,她是我12岁那年在家乡送报时的一位客户.不过,她曾给我上的那堂“宽恕”的课却始终让我难以忘怀.一个冬天的下午,我和一个朋友在离这个老太太家屋后不远的一个地方往她家斜斜的屋顶上扔石子玩.我们的目的是观察这些石子如何顺着屋顶的斜坡变成一颗发射物,在滚落到屋顶边缘的瞬间,像滑过天空的彗星那样射入院中.我给自己找了颗十分光滑的石子,然后扔了出去.但是,这颗石子太光滑了,出手的一刹那,它偏离了方向.它没有落在屋顶上,反而直接击中了老太太屋后门廊上的一扇小窗户.听到玻璃破碎的声音,我们知道闯祸了.我们掉头拔腿就跑,跑得比任何一颗从她屋顶发射的石子都要快.当天晚上,我太害怕被抓住,没有考虑到冬天里的破玻璃窗会给老太太带来什么样的麻烦.但是,过了几天,当我确信自己没被发现时,就开始对给她带来的倒霉事感到内疚了.每天我给她送报纸时,她依旧笑眯眯地迎接我.不过,在她面前,我已经不像过去那样自在了.我决定把送报挣的钱攒起来.三周后,我便有了7美元.我估计这大概够赔偿她的窗户了.我把钱装进一个信封,并附上一张纸条,解释说我对打破她家的窗户感到很抱歉,希望这7美元足够赔付修窗户的钱.我一直等到天黑,才悄悄走到她家门前,把这封没有署名的信从信箱口投进了她家.做完这件事情后,我感到自己的灵魂好像得到了解脱,获得了新的自由,能够重新正视老太太慈祥的目光了.第二天,当老太太微笑着从我手上接过报纸时,我也能向她回报一个热情的微笑.她对我的送报工作表示感谢,送了我一纸袋她亲手做的饼干.谢过她后,我一边吃着饼干,一边继续去给别的客户送报纸.吃了几块饼干后,我摸到了一个信封,就把它拽了出来.当我打开信封时,我不禁怔住了.信封里有7美元和一张纸条,上面写道：“我为你感到骄傲.”5善待机会The air we breathe is so freely available adj. 可以得到的 that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain v. 维持,持续 them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent adj. 壮丽的 life for themselves.Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunityalone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized andactedupon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in on the ground floorn. 有利的地位,投机的初期" of opportunity, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That's impossible.Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That's not up to the opportunity. That's up to you. It doesn't matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.我们呼吸的空气如此易得,以至于我们视它为理所当然,但没有了空气我们却坚持不了几分钟.从很大程度上来说,每个人呼吸到的空气都是一样的,并且每个人都离不开空气.有些人靠呼吸空气来维持生命,但他们只会坐在那里自怨自艾.另外一些人吸进空气,利用空气提供的能量为自己开创壮丽的人生.机遇也是如此.它无处不在.机遇如此易得,以至于我们视它为理所应当.然而仅凭机遇却不足以创造成功.必须抓住机遇并采取行动才能实现其价值.有许多人一得到有利的机会,就急着要成功,好像有了机遇就万事大吉.这是不可能的.正如你需要空气来呼吸,你也需要机遇来获得成功.但是只吸进机遇的新鲜空气远远不够.你必须好好利用机遇.这并不取决于机遇本身,而是由你自己决定.你在什么时候得到机遇并不重要.重要的是你怎样把握机遇.6我要谨记的事情Everybody doesn't have to love me. 无须人人都爱我Not everyone has to love me or even like me. I don't necessarily like everybody I know, so why should everybody else like me I enjoy being liked and being loved, but if somebody doesn't like me, I will still be okay and still feel like I am an okay person. I cannot make somebody like me anymore than someone can get me to like them. I don't need approval all the time. If someone does not approve of1 me, I will still be okay.It is okay to make mistakes. 犯错误没什么大不了的Making mistakes is something we all do, and I am still a fine and worthwhile person when I make them. There is no reason for me to get upset when I make a mistake. I am trying, and if I make a mistake, I am going to continue trying. I can handle making a mistake. It is okay for others to make a mistake, too. I will accept my mistakes and also the mistakes that others make.Other people are okay and I am okay. 互相尊重People who do things that I don't like are not necessarilybad people. They should not necessarily be punished just because Idon't like what they do or did. There is no reason why other people should bethe way I want them to be, and there is no reason why I should be the way somebody else wants me to be. People will be whatever they want to be, and I will be whatever I want to be. I cannot control other people or change them. They are who they are; we all deserve basic respect.I don't have to control things. 我无须控制一切I will survive if things are different than what I want themto be. I can accept things the way they are, accept people the way they are, and accept myself the way I am. There is no reason to get upset if I can't change things to fit my idea of how they ought to be. There is no reason why I should have to like everything. Even if Idon't like it, I can live with it.I am responsible for my day. 我对自己的一生负责I am responsible for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel anything. If I have a rotten2 day, I am the one who allowed it to be that way. If I have a great day, I am the one who deserves credit for being positive. It is not the responsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better. I am the one who is in charge of my life.I can handle it when things go wrong. 出问题时我能应付I don't need to watch out for things to go wrong. Theyusually go just fine, and when they don't, I can handle it. I don't have to waste energy worrying. The sky won't fall; things will be okay.It is important to try. 试一试很重要I can. Even though I may be faced with difficult tasks, it is better to try than to avoid them. Avoiding a task does not give meany opportunities for success or joy, but trying does. Things worth having are worth the effort. I might not be able to do everything.But I can do something.I am capable. 我能做到.I don't need someone else to take care of my problems. I am capable.I can take care of myself. I can make decisions for myself. I can think for myself. I don't have to depend on somebody else to take care of me.I can change. 我可以改变I don't have to be a certain way because of what has happenedin the past. Every day is a new day. It's silly to think I can't help being the way I am. Of course I can. I can change.I can be flexible. 我能随机应变There is more than one way to do something. More than one person has had good ideas that will work. There is no one and only "best" way. Everybody has ideas that are worthwhile. Some may make more sense to me than others, but everyone's ideas are worthwhile,and everyone has something worthwhile to contribute.7一个那样的哥哥给予比获得更让人幸福......Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it."Is this your car, Mister" he asked.Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." Theboy was astonished. "You mean your brother gave it to you and itdidn't cost you anything Boy, I wish...." He hesitated. Of coursePaul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he hada brother like that. But what the lad1 said made Paul quite surprised."I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively2 he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile""Oh, yes, I'd love that."After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house" Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again."Will you stop where those two steps are" the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled3 brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of4 squeezed up5 against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm gonna6 give you one just like it... then you can see for yourself all the pretty thingsin the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride.That Christmas Eve, Paul learned that it was more blessed to give....保罗收到一辆汽车,那是他哥哥送的圣诞礼物.圣诞节前夜,保罗从办公室出来时,一个街头少年绕着那辆闪闪发亮的新车,十分羡慕.“先生,这是你的车”少年问道.保罗点点头：“这是我哥哥送我的圣诞礼物.”男孩十分惊讶：“你是说这是你哥送你的,你一分钱也没花好家伙,我希望……”他停住了.保罗当然知道男孩他希望什么.他希望能有一个那样的哥哥.但那少年接下来说的话却让保罗大吃一惊.“我希望,”男孩继续说：“我能成为那样的哥哥.”保罗惊愕地看着那男孩,他冲口而出：“你要不要坐我的车去兜一兜风”“哦,当然,我愿意”车开出一小段路后,男孩转过头来,眼睛闪闪发亮地说：“先生,你是否介意把车子开到我家门前”保罗微笑.他想他知道男孩想干什么.那男孩肯定是要向邻居炫耀他能坐一部大轿车回家.但是这次保罗又猜错了.“你能不能把车子停在那两个台阶前”男孩要求.男孩跑上台阶,过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了,但动作有些缓慢.他背来了他跛脚的弟弟.他让弟弟坐在最下面的台阶上,略有些挤靠着自己,然后指着那辆车.“这就是那车,巴迪,就是我刚才在楼上对你说的.他哥哥送他的圣诞礼物,他一分钱也没花.将来某一天我也会送给你一辆像这样的车,到那时候,你就能自己去看我一直努力给你描绘的那些圣诞节陈列窗里的漂亮东西了.”保罗走下车子,把跛脚的男孩抱到车子前座.兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也爬上车子,坐在弟弟身旁.三个人开始了一次令人难忘的假日兜风.那个圣诞节前夜,保罗体会到“施与比获得更让人幸福……”8 ＡＬａｔｅＢｌｏｏｍｅｒThe heart that seeks to do good will always bring something worthwhile to the world, something in which all can rejoice — even if for only a moment.A cactus1 stood all alone in the desert, wondering why it was stuck in the middle of nowhere."I do nothing but stand here all day," it sighed. "What use am I I'm the ugliest plant in the desert. My spines2 are thick and prickly3, and my skin is thick and bumpy. I can't offer shade orjuicy fruit to any passing traveler. I don't see that I'm any use at all."All it did was stand in the sun day after day, growing taller and fatter. Its spines grew longer and its skin tougher and it grew here and there until it was lumpy4 and unbalanced all over. It truly was strange-looking."I wish I could do something useful," it sighed.By day hawks5 circled high overhead."What can I do with my life" the cactus called. Whether they heard or not, the hawks sailed away.At night the moon floated into the sky and cast its pale glow on the desert floor."What good can I do with my life" the cactus called. The moon only stared coldly as it mounted its course.A lizard6 crawled by, leaving a little trail in the sand with its tail."What worthy deed can I do" the cactus called."You" the lizard laughed, pausing a moment. "Worthy deed Why, you can't do anything The hawks circle overhead, tracing delicate patterns for us all to admire. The moon hangs high like a lantern at night, so we can see our ways home to our loved ones. Even I, thelowly lizard, have something to do. I decorate the sands with these beautiful brushstrokes7 as I pull my tail along. But you You do nothing but get uglier every day."And so it went on, year after year. At last the cactus grew old, and it knew its time was short."Oh," it cried out, "I've wondered so long, and I've tried so hard. Forgive me if I've failed to find something worthy to do. Ifear that now it's too late."But just then the cactus felt a strange motion and unfolding, and it knew a flow of joy that erased all despair. At its very tip, like a sudden crown, a glorious flower suddenly opened in bloom.Never had the desert known such a blossom. Its fragrance8 perfumed the air far and wide and brought happiness to all passing by. The butterflies paused to admire its beauty, and that night even the moon smiled when it rose to find such a treasure.In the desert, a voice was sounding:"You have waited long, and the heart that seeks to do goodwill always bring something worthwhile to the world, something in which all can rejoice — even if for only a moment."一株仙人掌孤独地站在沙漠里,困惑为什么它被困在蛮荒之地.“我整天站在这里无所事事,”它叹息道.“我有什么用呢我是沙漠中最丑陋的植物.我的刺又粗又多,我的皮又厚又糙.我不能为任何过路的旅行者提供荫凉或者多汁的果实.我看不出自己到底有什么用.”仙人掌所做的只是日复一日地站在太阳底下,长得更高更胖.它的刺长得越来越长,而它的表皮则更加坚韧,它向四处疯长,直至变得粗笨结实、倒向一边.它确实长得很奇怪.“我希望我能够做点有用的事,”它叹息道.白天,有几只鹰在它头顶的高空盘旋.“我能做些什么呢”仙人掌大声说道.那几只鹰也不知道听见没有,但都飞走了.晚上,月亮浮现在天空中,将其苍白的月光投射在沙漠上.“我能为我的生活做点什么有益的事呢”仙人掌大声喊道.月亮只冷冷地看了仙人掌一眼,就踏上了行程.一只蜥蜴从旁边爬过,它的尾巴在沙地上留下一道淡淡的痕迹.“我能做些什么有价值的事呢”仙人掌大声喊道.“就你”蜥蜴驻足片刻,笑道.“有价值的事嗨,你什么也做不了鹰在上空盘旋,描绘出精巧的图案供我们大家仰慕.月亮高高地挂在天上,就像夜间的一盏灯,所以我们才能看清回家的路,与我们所爱的人团聚.即便是我——地位这么低下的蜥蜴, 也有事可做.我拖着尾巴走路时留下了这些美丽的线条,装点了沙地.而你呢你除了每天变得更丑之外什么也没做.”日子就这样年复一年地过下去.最后,仙人掌变老了,它知道自己的时间不多了.“哦,”它大声呼喊,“我已经困惑了很久,而且我一直如此努力.如果我没有找到值得去做的事,那就原谅我吧.恐怕现在已经太迟了.”但是就在此时,仙人掌感觉到一阵奇怪的激动和舒展,它意识到一股消除了所有沮丧的喜悦.在它的顶端,一朵灿烂的鲜花霎时绽放,就像一顶突然出现的王冠.沙漠里还从不知道有这样的一朵花.它芬芳的香气向四处飘散,并且给所有路过者带来了快乐.蝴蝶们停下来夸赞它的美丽,而就在那天晚上,月亮升起,发现了这一珍宝时,也绽放出了笑容.在沙漠里回响着一个声音：“你已经等了很久,试图做好事的心总会给世界带来一些有价值的东西、一些让所有人都欣喜的东西——哪怕只存在一瞬间.”Vocabulary1. cactus 5kAktEs n. 植仙人掌2. spine spaIn n. 植剌3. prickly 5prIklI adj. 多刺的4. lumpy 5lQmpI adj. 粗笨的5. hawk hC:k n. 鸟鹰6. lizard 5lIzEd n. 动蜥蜴7. brushstroke5brQFstrEuk n. 一笔8. fragrance 5freI^rEns n. 芬芳9成长不息Sir Edmund Hillary is famous for being the first person to climb Mt.

10篇精选优秀英语美文背诵(英汉对照)

第1篇：[英文背诵] 用爱唤醒你的生活Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience."How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.多年前，当我第一次找工作时，不少明智之士强烈向我建议：“巴巴拉，要有热情！热情比任何经验都更有益。

”这话多么正确，热情的人可以把沉闷的车程变成探险，把加班变成机会，把生人变成朋友。

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't."“没有热情就不会有任何伟大的成就，” 拉尔夫-沃尔多-爱默生写道当事情进展不顺时，热情是帮助你坚持下去的粘合剂当别人叫喊“你不行”时，热情是你内心发出的声音：“我能行”。

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.1983年诺贝尔医学奖的获得者遗传学家巴巴拉-麦克林托克早年的工作直到很多年后才被公众所承认但她并没有放弃实验工作对她来说是一种如此巨大的快乐，她从未想过要停止它。

If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat-- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equallypleased with my little gift. I left the bag in thehall and Robert and I went into the living-room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. T o our dismay, we saw that there were snails everywhere: they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then.在决定什么能吃而什么不能吃的时候，人们往往变得不合情理。

经典英语美文阅读(一)坚持不懈Napoleon declared, “Victory belongs to the mostpersevering.”Upon careful study we findperseverance depends upon three things - purpose,will, and enthusiasm. He who has apurpose is always concentrating his forces.By thewill, the hope and the plan are prevented fromevaporating into dreams.Enthusiasm keeps theinterest up, and makes the obstacles seem small.Life is in a sense a battle. The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and by idling meetsfailure atlast.Perseverance is the master impulse of the firmest souls, and holds the key tothose treasure-houses of knowledge from which the world has drawn its wealth both of wisdomand of moral worth.Great men never wait for opportunities; they make them. They seize upon whatever is at hand, work out their problem, and master the situation. The greatest thing a man can do in this worldis to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him. This is success andthere is no other.One of the important lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat. It takescourage and stamina, when mortified by humiliating disaster, to seek in the ruins the elementsof future conquest. Yet this measures the difference between those who succeed and thosewho fail. We cannotmeasure a man by his failures. We must know what use he makes ofthem. The man who has not fought his way upward and does not bear the scar of desperateconflict does not know the highest meaning of success.拿破仑宣称，“胜利属于坚持不懈的人”。

If youdrop it, it will bounce back.But the other four ballsare made of glass. If you drop one of these,it will beirrevocably scuffed, marked, damaged or even broken into pieces.They will never be the same. You must learn to strive for balance in your life. How?Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are differentthat each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people consider important. Only you know what is best foryou.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Hold on to them as you would to life, for without them, it’s meaningless.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment youstop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us toeach together.Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’simpossible to find.The quickest way to receivelove is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;and the best way to keeplove is to giveit wings.Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.Don’t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or in the future.By living your life oneday at a time, you live all the days of your life.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where youare going.Life is not a race, but a journey to be enjoyed slowly each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That’s why we call it - the present.想像生活就是一场游戏，在这个游戏中，你向空中抛出五个球。

我在那长长的“黑帮”队伍里倒不害怕.最怕的就是游斗汽车开到自己家门口，这一招太损了。

嗐，越害怕还越有鬼，有一次汽车就真的开到一了家门口。

那八旬的老母亲看见了汽车上的我，嘴抖了几抖，闭上眼睛，扶着墙，身子像泥一样瘫了下去。

妻子竟忘了去扶持母亲，站在那儿，眼睛都直了，跟个傻子一般。

In the second of those tumultuous years, I was labeled one of the "reactionary gang." What I feared most was not being queued up among this gang of so many, but the vicious practice of being publicly denounced on a truck in front of my own house. Well, fear or no fear, the lot fell on me soon enough. When the truck drove to the gate of my own house, my mother, who was already in her eighties, spotted me on the truck. Her lips trembling and eyes shut, she first leaned against the wall, then collapsed, weak and limp like soft mud on the ground. Meanwhile, my wife just stood there dumbfounded like a blockhead, forgetting even to help my mother up.我担心老母亲从此会离我而去。

第一篇我们正在起跑点We’re Just BeginningCharles F Kettering“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”I do not know who wrote these words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminate d bythe mistakes and error s with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of out lives.The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontier s, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them.

1\学会生活在现实中Learn to live in the present momentTo a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live on the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are---always!我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中所决定的．不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处．2/Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about variety of things--all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns dominate your present moments, so much so that we end up anxious,frustrated,depressed,and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that 'someday' never actually arrives. Jhon Lennone once said, "Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans." When we are busy making 'other plans', our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担心忧虑上－－而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情．我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以至我们整日焦虑不安，委靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望．而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的幸福感，常常说服自己＂有朝一日＂会比今天更好．不幸的是，如此告戒我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以至＂有朝一日＂哟贫农公元不会真的来临．约翰．列侬曾经说过：＂生活就是当我们忙于制定别的计划时发生的事．＂当我们忙于指定种种＂别的计划＂时，我们的孩子在忙于长大，我们挚爱的人里去了甚至快去世了，我们的体型变样了，而我们的梦想也在消然溜走了．一句话，我们错过了生活．3/Many people lives as if life is a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one have a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When we put our attention on the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future--we won't have enoughh money,our children will get into trouble,we will get old and die,whatever.许多人的生活好象是某个未来日子的彩排．并非如此．事实上，没人能保证他或她肯定还活着．现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间，现在也是我们能控制的唯一的时间．当我们将注意力放在此时此刻时，我们就将恐惧置于脑后．恐惧就是我们担忧某些事情会在未来发生－－我们不讳有足够的钱，我们的孩子会惹上麻烦，我们会变老，会死去，诸如此类．4/To combat fear, the best stradegy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said,"I have been through some terrible things in life, some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your effort will pay great dividends.若要克服恐惧心理，最佳策略是学会将你的注意力拉回此时此刻．马克．吐温说过：＂我经历过生活中一些可怕的事情，有些的确发生过．＂我想我说不出比这更具内涵的话．经常将注意力集中于此情此景，此时此刻，你的努力终会有丰厚的报偿．5\How High Can You Jump?Flea trainers have observed a strange habit of fleas while training them. Fleas are trained by putting them in a cardboard box with a top on it. The fleas will jump up and hit the top of the cardboard box over and over and over again.As you watch them jump and hit the lid, something very interesting becomes obvious. The fleas continue to jump, but they are no longer jumping high enough to hit the top.When you take off the lid, the fleas continue to jump, but they will not jump out of the box. They won't jump out because they can't jump out. Why? The reason is simple. They have conditioned themselves to jump just so high.Once they have conditioned themselves to jump just so high, that's all they can do!Many times, people do the same thing. They restrict themselves and never reach their potential. Just like the fleas, they fail to jump higher, thinking they are doing all they can do.跳蚤训练人在训练跳蚤时发现跳蚤有一个奇怪的习惯。
