Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story.This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over years of marriage nothing ever seems to go right.They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own family, there’s nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce.Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt that after 40 years of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn’t understand why the old couple would still wants a divorce.While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband. “I really love you, but I really can’t carry on anymore, I’m sorry.”“It’s OK, I understand.” said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just three of them, wife thought, why not, since they are still going be friends.At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness.The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old mantook the drumstick for the old lady. “Take this, it’s your favorite.”Looking at this, the lawyer t hought maybe there’s still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer. “This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don’t you know that I hate drumsticks?”Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband’s favorite.Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.That night, both of them couldn’t sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn. After hours, the old man couldn’t take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he can’t carry on life without her, he wants her back, he wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her, “I love you.”He picks up the phone, started dialing her number. Ringing never stops. He never stop dialing.On the other side, she was sad, she couldn’t understand how come after all these years, he still doesn’t understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but she just can’t take it any- more. Phone’s ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that it’s him. “What’s the point of talking now that it’s over. I have asked for it and now. I want to keep it this way, if not I will lose face. “She thought. Phone still ringing. She has decided to pull out the cord.Little did she remember, he had heart problems.The next day, she received news that he had passed away. She rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on thecouch still holding on to the phone. He had a heart attack when he was still trying to get thru her phone line.As sad as she could be. She will have to clear his belongings. When she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, beneficiary is her. Together in that file there’s this note.“To my dearest wife, by the time you are reading this, I’m sure I’m no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that I have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know I will always be around, by your side. I love you.”Tears flowed like river.When you love someone, let them know. You never know what will happen the next minute. Learn to build a life together. Learn to love each other for who they are,Not what they are.英语经典散文翻译:在一个阳光明媚的日子里,一对70多岁的老夫妇走进了律师事务所。

下面店铺为大家带来经典英语散文附译文,欢迎大家阅读!经典英语散文:自由飞翔One windy spring day,I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing. As the strong winds gusted against the kites,a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind,they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled,but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow,facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string,they seemed to say,“Let me go!Let me go!I want to be free!”Th ey soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally,one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,”it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze. It fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last” free to lie powerless in the dirt,to be blown helplessly along the ground,and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction.How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity and restrictions,rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us tug at the rules so hard thatwe never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights,recognizing that some of the restraints that we may chafe under are actually the steadying force that helps us ascend and achieve.散文译文:在一个有风的春日,我看到一群年轻人正在迎风放风筝玩乐,各种颜色、各种形状和大小的风筝就好像美丽的鸟儿在空中飞舞。

They worked together starting then to further American Revolution and later to shape the new scheme of government. From the work sprang a friendship perhaps incomparable in intimacy and the trustfulness of collaboration and induration. It lasted 50 years. It included pleasure and utility but over and above them, there were shared purpose, a common end and an enduring goodness on both sides. Four and a half months before he died, when he was ailing, debt-ridden, and worried about his impoverished family, Jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words andMadison's reply remind us that friends are friends until death. They also remind us that sometimes a friendship has a bearing on things larger than the friendship itself, for has there ever been a friendship of greater public consequence than this one?托马斯-杰斐逊和詹姆斯-麦迪逊相识于1776年。

经典英汉双语散文经典英汉双语散文:飘忽的云I've opened the curtain of my east window here above the computer, and I sit now in a holy theater before a sky-blue stage. A little cloud above the neighbor's trees resembles Jimmy Durante's nose for a while, then becomes amorphous as it slips on north. Other clouds follow, big and little and tiny on their march toward whereness. Wisps of them lead or droop because there must always be leading and drooping.The trees seem to laugh at the clouds while yet reaching for them with swaying branches. Trees must think that they are real, rooted, somebody, and that perhaps the clouds are only tickled water which sometimes blocks their sun. But trees are clouds, too, of green leaves—clouds that only move a little. Trees grow and change and dissipate like their airborne cousins.And what am I but a cloud of thoughts and feelings and aspirations? Don't I put out tentative mists here and there? Don't I occasionally appear to other people as a ridiculous shape of thoughts without my intending to? Don't I drift toward the north when I feel the breezes of love and the warmth of compassion?If clouds are beings, and beings are clouds, are we not all well advised to drift, to feel the wind tucking us in here and plucking us out there? Are we such rock-hard bodily lumps as we imagine?Drift, let me. Sing to the sky, will I. One in many, are we. Let us breathe the breeze and find therein our roots in the spirit.拉开了房间东边电脑上方的窗帘,感觉自己仿佛身处一个神圣的剧场,天蓝的舞台展现在面前。

英语精美散文摘抄附译文Time is running out for my friend. While we are sitting at lunch she casually mentions she and her husband are thinking of starting a family."We're taking a survey,"she says, half-joking."Do you think I should have a baby?""It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral. "I know,"she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous holidays..."But that's not what I mean at all. I look at my friend, trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes. I want to tell her that thephysical wounds of child bearing will heal, but becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional wound so raw that she will be vulnerable forever.I consider warning her that she will never again read a newspaper without thinking: "What if that had been MY child?" That every plane crash, every house fire will haunt her. That when shesees pictures of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die. I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no matterhow sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting her cub.I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood. She might arrange for child care, but one day shewill be going into an important business meeting, and she will think her baby's sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home, just to make sure herchild is all right.I want my friend to know that every decision will no longer be routine. That a five-year-old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at a restaurant will become a majordilemma. The issues of independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that a child molester may be lurking in the lavatory.However decisive she may be at the office, shewill second-guess herself constantly as a mother.Looking at my attractive friend, I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the added weight of pregnancy, but she will never feel the same about herself. That her own life, now soimportant, will be of less value to her once she has a child. She would give it up in a moment to save her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years—not to accomplish her owndreams—but to watch her children accomplish theirs.I want to describe to my friend the exhilaration of seeing your child learn to hit a ball. I want to capture for her the belly laugh of a baby who is touching the soft fur of a dog for thefirst time. I want her to taste the joy that is so real it hurts.My friend's look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes. "You'll never regret it," I say finally. Then, squeezing my friend's hand, I offer a prayer for her and me and all of themere mortal women who stumble their way into this holiest of callings.英语精美散文摘抄译文时光任苒,朋友已经老大不小了。

We are not at rest; we are on a journey, our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July, the season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.无论你在何处,无论你是何人,此刻,而且在我们生命的每时每刻,你与我有一点是类似的。

英文散文经典名篇 中英文

英文散文经典名篇中英文English: One of the most well-known classic English essays is "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. In this satirical piece, Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish could alleviate their economic troubles by selling their children as food to the wealthy. Through this absurd proposal, Swift critiques the attitudes of the ruling class towards the poor and exposes the inhumane treatment of the Irish people by the British government. The essay is a scathing commentary on the economic and social injustices of the time, using dark humor and irony to bring attention to the dire conditions faced by the Irish population.中文翻译: 《一个议顶的建议》是乔纳森·斯威夫特(Jonathan Swift)最著名的英语散文之一。

在这篇讽刺性的作品中,斯威夫特建议,贫困的爱尔兰人可以通过将他们的孩子卖给富人作为食物来缓解经济困境。

通过这个荒谬的建议,斯威夫特批评统治阶层对穷人的态度,并揭露了英国政府对爱尔兰人的残酷对待。

这篇散文尖刻地评论了当时的经济和社会不公正,运用黑色幽默和讽刺来引起人们对爱尔兰人口严峻情况的关注。

散文二:The Power of Kindness
Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. It has the power to break down barriers and bring people together. Kindness can be as simple as a smile, a kind word, or a thoughtful gesture. It costs nothing, but it can mean everything to someone in need.
True friendship is built on trust, respect, and understanding. It is not about the quantity of time spent together, but the quality of those moments. It’s about sharing laughter, wiping away tears, and being there for each other no matter what.
春天
春天是四季之一,位于冬天和夏天之间。在春天,天气开始变暖,白天变长。树木开始长新叶,鲜花开始盛开。整个世界似乎重新变得生机勃勃。
人们喜欢春天有很多原因。他们可以更频繁地出门,进行野餐、远足和园艺等各种活动。春天也是农民开始种植庄稼和小动物出生的时候。
春天是充满希望和快乐的季节。它代表了新的开始和成长。它提醒我们,无论冬天有多么艰难,春天总会带来温暖和快乐。
在这个有时候不够善待的世界里,选择善待会产生巨大的影响。它能照亮某人的一天,修复一颗受伤的心,甚至改变某人的一生轨迹。因此,让我们共同努力,在我们所到之处传播善待。

世界经典短篇英语散文世界经典短篇英语散文The Pleasure of ReadingAnonymousAll the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of bo oks but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.I am most interested in people, in them and finding out about them. Some of the most remarkable people I've met existed only in a writer's imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I've found in boo ks new friends, new societies, new words.If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who as i n how. Who in the books includes everybody from science fiction superman two hun dred centuries in the future all the way back to the first figures in history. H ow covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the d iscoveries of science and ways of teaching mannner to children.Reading is pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyo nd his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as youunderstand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one family house, but books in a librar y are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add u p to something, they are connected with each other and with other cities. The sa me ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different so lutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own genera tions, like families. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one o f the families of ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the wo rld and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too.Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you you “ought” to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means som ething to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good tim e — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more g entle, you won't have suffered during the process.The Delights of BooksJohn LubbockBooks are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the hist ory of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and exp erience of ages; they picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature; help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of wea riness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas,fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.When we read we may not only be kings and live in palaces, but, what is far better, we may transport ourselves to the mountains or the seashore, and visit t he most beautiful parts of the earth, without fatigue, inconvenience, expense. P recious and priceless are the blessing, which the books scatter around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits, through the most subl ime and enchanting regions.Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his bio graphy that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books. In a charming lette r to a little girl, he says: “If any one would make me the greatest king that e ver lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners,and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I should not read books, I would not be a king. I would rather be a poor man in garret with plent y of books than a king who did not love reading.”On ReadingArnold BennettThe appearance today of the first volume of a new edition of Boswell's Johns on, edited by Augustine Birrell, reminds me once again that I have read but litt le of that work. Does there, I wonder, exist a being who has read all, or approx imately all, that the person of average culture is supposed to have read, and th at not to have read is a social sin? If such a being does exist, surely he is an old, a very old man, who has read steadily that which he ought to have read 16 hours a day, from early infancy.I cannot recall a single author of whom I have read everything — even of Ja ne Austen. I have never seen Susan andThe Watsons, one of which I have been tol d is superlatively good. Then there are large tracts of Shakespeare, Bacon, Spen ser, nearly all Chaucer, Congreve, Dryden, Pope, Swift, Sterne, Johnson, Scott, Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, Edgeworth, Ferrier, Lamb, Leigh Hunt, Wordsworth (nea rly all), Tennyson, Swinbume, and Brontes, George Eliot, W. Morris, George Mered ith, Thomas Hardy, Savage Landor, Thackeray, Carlyle—in fact every classical au thor and most good modern authors, which I have never even overlooked. A list of the masterpieces I have not read would fill a volume. With only one author can I call myself familiar, Jane Austen. With Keats and Stevenson, I have an acquain tance. So far of English. Of foreign authors I am familiar with Maupassant and the Goncourts. I have yet to finish Don Quixote!Nevertheless I cannot accuse myself of default. I have been extremely fond o f reading since I was 20, and since I was 20 I have read practically nothing (sa ve professionally, as a literary critic) but what was “right”. My leisure has b een moderate, my desire strong and steady, my taste in selection certainly above the average, and yet in 10 years I seem scarcely to have made an impression upo n the intolerable multitude of volumes which “everyone is supposed to have read ”.On EducationAlfred North WhiteheadEducation is the acquisition of the art of the utilization of knowledge.This is an art very, difficult to impart.Whenever a text book is written of real ed ucational worth, you may be quite certain that some reviewer will say that it will be difficult to teach from it. Of course it will be difficult to teach from it. If it were easy, the book ought to be burned; for it cannot be educational. I n education, as elsewhere, the broad primrose path leads to a nastyplace. This evil path is represented by a book or a set of lectures which will practically e nable the student to learn by heart all the questions likely to be asked at the next external examination. And I may say. in passing that no educational system is possible unless every question, directly asked of a pupil at any examination is either framed or modified by the actual teacher of that pupil in that subject …We now return to my previous point, that theoretical ideas should always fin d important applications within the pupil’s curriculum. This is not an easy doc trine to apply, but a very hard one. It contains within itself the problem of ke eping knowledge alive, of preventing it from becoming inert, which is the centra l problem of all education.…I appeal to you, as practical teachers. With good discipline, it is always p ossible to pump into the minds of a class a certain quantity of inert knowledge. You take a text book and make them learn it. So far, so good. The child then k nows how to solve a quadratic equation. But what is the point of teaching a chil d to solve a quadratic equation? There is a traditional answer to this question. It runs thus: The mind is an instrument, you first sharpen it, and then use it; the acquisition of the power of solving a quadratic equation is part of the pro cess of sharpening the mind. Now there is just enough truth in this answer to ha ve made it live through the ages. But for all its half truth, it embodies a rad ical error which bids fair to stifle the genius of the modern world.I do not kn ow who was first responsible for this analogy of the mind to a dead instrument. For aught I know, it may have been one of the seven wise men of Greece, or a com mittee of the whole lot of them. Whoever was the originator, there can be nodou bt of the authority which it has acquired by the continuous approval bestowed up on it by eminent persons.But whatever its weight of authority, whatever the high approval which it can quote, I have no hesitation in denouncing it as one of the most fatal, erroneous, and dangerous conceptions ever introduced into the theo ry of education. The mind is never passive; it is a perpetual activity, delicate , receptive, responsive to stimulus.You cannot postpone its life until you have sharpened it. Whatever interest attaches to your subject matter must be evoked hele and now; whatever powers you are strengthening in the pupil, must be exe rcised here and now; whatever possibilities of mental life your teaching should impart, must be exhibited here and now.That is the golden rule of education, and a very difficult rule to follow.The difficulty is just this: the apprehension of general ideas, intellectual habits of mind, and pleasurable interest in mental achievement can be evoked by no form of words, however accurately adjusted. All practical teachers know that education is a patient process of the mastery of details, minute by minute, hou r by hour, day by day.There is no royal roads to learning through an airy path o f brilliant generalizations.There is a proverb about the difficulty of seeing th e wood because of the trees. That difficulty is exatly the point which I am enfo rcing. The problem of education is to make the pupil see the wood by means of th e trees.…Again, there is not one course of study which merely gives general culture, and another which gives special knowledge. The subjects pursued for the sake of a general education are special subjects specially studied; and, on the other ha nd, one of theways of encouraging general mental activity is to foster a specia l devotion. You may not divide the seamless coat of learning. What education has to impart is an intimate sense for the power of ideas, for the beauty of ideas, and for the structure of ideas together with a particular body of knowledge whi ch has peculiar reference to the life of the being possessing it.The appreciation of the structure of ideas is that side of a cultured mind w hich can only grow under the influence of a special study. I mean that eye for t he whole chess board, for the bearing of one set of ideas on another.Nothing bu t a special study can give any appreciation for the exact formulation of general ideas, for their relations when formulated, for their service in the comprehens ion of life. A mind so disciplined should be both more abstract and more concret e. It has been trained in the comprehension of abstract thought and in the analy sis of facts.On Education。

英语散文精选(英汉对照)

What I Have Lived ForBertrand RussellThree passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy --- ecstasy so great that I would have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness --- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what --- at last --- I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men, I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds away above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberated in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and I would gladly 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。

24篇出色的英文短文(中英文对照)第一篇:A Grain of Sand 一粒沙子William Blake/威廉.布莱克To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild fllower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. 从一粒沙子看到一个世界,从一朵野花看到一个天堂,把握在你手心里的就是无限,永恒也就消融于一个时辰。

第二篇:Love Your Life 热爱生活Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call i t hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are ric hest. The faultfinder 〔爱找错误的人〕will find faults in paradise〔天堂〕. Love your life, poor as it is〔尽管〕. You may perhaps have some p leasant, thrilling〔高兴〕, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts〔融化〕 before its door as early i n the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind〔从容的人〕 may live as conte ntedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace〔皇宫〕. The t own's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. M ay be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving〔受之无愧〕. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it o ften happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishones t means. Which should be more disreputable〔不体面的〕. Cultivate〔看待〕 poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much t o get new things, whether clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to the m. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your tho ughts. 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。

经典散文阅读英译汉经典散文阅读英译汉On the Fear of Death谈怕死by William Hazlitt威廉·赫兹里特Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives me no concern- why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?克服怕死心理的最好办法,也许是要想到人生不仅有终结,也有开端。

本来我们并未生存于世间,这个事实并不使我们忧虑,那么,我们为要为了将来有一天自己会停止生存而烦恼呢?I have no wish to have been alive a hundred years ago, or in the reign of Queen Anne? Why should I regret and lay it so much to heart that I shall not be alive a hundred years hence, in the reign of I cannot tell whom?我既然不希望自己在一百年前,或在安女王的朝代活在世上,为什么就要为了自己在一百年后不知哪位皇帝在位的朝代,不能仍然活在世上而抱憾,而耿耿于怀呢?To die is only to be as we were born; yet no one feels any remorse, or regret, or repugnance, in contemplating this last idea.死亡只是恢复诞生前的原状而已;在想到诞生前的情形时,我们都毫无悔恨、遗憾、或厌恶之感.It is rather a relief and disburdening of the mind: it seems to have been a holiday time with us then: we were not called to appear upon the stage of life, to wear robes or tatters, to laugh or cry, be hooted or applauded; we had lain perdus all this while, snug out of harm’s way; and had slept out our thousands of centuries without wanting to be waked up; at peace and free from care, in a long nonage, in a sleep deeper and calmer than that of infancy, wrapped in the softest and finest dust.我们反而会觉得轻松解脱:那个时候彷佛是我们所度过的'一段假期,我们还没有被召出现在人生舞台之上,或身着华服,或衣衫褴褛,或笑,或哭,或遭叫嚣反对,或受喝采赞扬;在那个时候,我们一直高卧在虚无之境,无人闻问,舒适而又;我们在长眠中度过了千百世纪,不希望被人唤醒,一直逍遥于一个漫长的浑浑噩噩的时期之中,享受着一场比婴儿时代的更为深沉而平静的睡眠,覆蔽在最轻柔最微小的尘之中,安安静静,无忧无虑。

都有一座无线电台: 它能在多长时间里 接收到人间万物传 递来的美好、
hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite,
希望、欢乐、鼓舞和 力量信息,
so long as you are young.
你就会年轻 多长时间
其实像这样画出来的 美人
but the painter that made them.
,恐怕只表现了画 家本人的某种偏爱。
Not but I think a painter may make a better face than ever was;
画家不能通过这样 画出更好看的脸
but he must do it by a kind of felicity
美犹如盛夏的水果,是 容易腐烂而难保持的
and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth,
世上有许多美人 他们有过放荡的青春
and an age a little out of countenance;
却迎受着愧悔的晚年
but yet certainly again, if it light well,
因此,应该把美的 形貌与美的德行 结合起来
it maketh virtue shine, and vices blush.
这样,美才会发出夺目 的光辉。
02_Youth青春
Nobody grows merely by a number of years we grow older by deserting our ideas.
美不在颜色艳丽 而在面目端正,
and that of decent and gracious motion, more than that of favor.
又不尽在面目 端正而在举止 文雅合度
That is the best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express;
并将青春化为灰烬。
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders,
无论是60岁还是16岁 你需要保持永不衰竭 的好奇心,
the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next
When the aerials are down,
当天线倒塌时
and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,
你的精神就被玩世不恭 和悲观厌世的冰雪所覆 盖,
then you've grown old, even at 20,
左右了我的一生: 对爱的渴望 对知识的探索
and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
而热情之火的熄灭 则在心灵上刻下皱纹
Worry, fear,self- distrust bows the heart
忧虑、恐惧、缺乏 自信,会扭曲人的 灵魂
and turns the spirit back to dust.
you shall find never a good; and yet altogether do well.
看并不优美,但 作为整体却非常 动人。
If it be true that the principal part of beauty
虽然美之菁华 无疑在于
is in decent motion, certainly it is no marvel,
永不熄灭的孩提般 求知的渴望
and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart, and my heart,
和追求生活乐趣 的热情。 在你我的心底,
there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty,
A man cannot tell whether Apelles, or Albert Durer, were the more trifler;
whereof the one,
曾经有两位画家-阿皮 雷斯和艾伯特.丢勒 滑稽地认为,
would make a personage by geometrical proportions;
因为造物主似乎是吝啬 的,
than in labor to produce excellency.
他给了此就不再予 彼
And therefore they prove accomplished, but not of great spirit;
所以许多容颜俊秀的人 往往过于追求外在
and study rather behavior, than virtue.
你就已经衰老了, 即使你只是20岁;
but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism,
而你的天线巍然矗立着 的时候,凭着高昂的乐 观主义
there's hope you may die young at 80.
你就有希望在 80岁死去时仍然 韶华不逝。
最高的美是画家 所无法表现的
no,nor the first sight of the life.
因为它是难于 直观的
There is no excellent beauty,
没有哪种 美
that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
能极致到不存在 例上的暇疵
of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
和摈弃安逸的 那种冒险精神
This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.
往往一个60岁的 老者比一个 20岁的青年更多一 点这种劲头
it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
它是生命之源勃勃 生机的涌泉。
Youth means a temperamental predominance
青春意味着战胜 懦弱的
of courage over timidity,
那股大丈夫气概
and considering the youth, as to make up the comeliness.
而尽管有的年轻人具有 美貌,却由于缺乏完美 的修养而不配得到最好 的赞美。
Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt, and cannot last;
却端庄严肃而有美德者 是令人肃然起敬的
Neither is it almost seen,that very beau- tiful persons
外表美丽的人,
are otherwise of great virtue;
未必也具有内 在的美
as if nature were rather busy, not to err,
03_What I have Lived for我的人生追求
Three passions simple but overwhelmingly strong
有三种简单而无比强烈 的激情
have governed my life:the longing for love,the search for knowledge,
人老不仅仅是岁月流逝 所致,更主要的是懒惰 不思进取的结果。
Youth By Samuel Erman 青春 塞缪尔.俄尔曼
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind,
青春不是生命的一段 时光
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees,
创造它的常常是构思,
(as a musician that maketh an excellent air in music), and not by rule.
(正如为曲子营造的 氛围的音乐家)而不是 公式。
A man shall see faces, that if you examine them part by part,
按照几何比例,
the other, by taking the best parts out of divers faces, to make one excellent.
或者通过摄取不同人身 上最美的特点,可以用 画合成一张最完美的人 像
Such personages, I think, would please nobody,
