英语美文(摘抄)

All that is beautiful poems and passages of life things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 万物不变,是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想

Think it over... 好好想想??

today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view; 今天我们拥有了更高层的楼宇以及更宽阔的公路,但是我们的性情却更为急躁,眼光也更加狭隘;

we spend more, but enjoy less; 我们消耗的更多,享受到的却更少;

we have bigger houses, but smaller families; 我们的住房更大了,但我们的家庭却更小了; we have more compromises, but less time; 我们妥协更多,时间更少;

we have more knowledge, but less judgment; 我们拥有了更多的知识,可判断力却更差了;

we have more medicines, but less health; 我们有了更多的药品,但健康状况却更不如意; we have multiplied out possessions, but reduced out values; 我们拥有的财富倍增,但其价值却减少了;

we talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much; we reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors; we have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space; we have higher income, but less morals; these are times with more liberty, but less joy; we have much more food, but less nutrition; these are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase; these are times of finer houses, but more broken homes; All that is beautiful poems and passages of life things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. That’s why I propose, that as of today; You do not keep anything for a special occasion. Because every day that you live is a special occasion. search for knowledge, read more ,sit on your porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs; spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love; life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival; use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it. Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “one of these days “or "someday"; let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"! let's tell our families and friends how much we love them; do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life; every day, every hour, and every minute is special; and you don't know if it will be your last.

我们说的多了,爱的却少了,我们的仇恨也更多了; 我们可以往返月球,但却难以迈出一步去亲近我们的左邻右舍;我们可以征服外太空,却征服不了我们的内心;我们的收入增加了,但我们的道德却少了;我们的时代更加自由了,但我们拥有的快乐时光却越来越少;我们有了更多的食物,但所能得到的营养却越来越少了;现在每个家庭都可以有双份收入,但离婚的现象越来越多了;现在的住房越来越精致,但我们也有了更多破碎的家庭;这就是我为什么要说,让我们从今天开始;不要将你的东西为了某一个特别的时刻而预留着,因为你生活的每一天都是那么特别;寻找更多的知识,多读一些书,坐在你家的前廊里,以赞美的眼光去享受眼前的风景,不要带上任何功利的想法;花多点时间和朋友与家人在一起,吃你爱吃的食物,去你想去的地方;生活是一串串的快乐时光;我们不仅仅是为了生存而生存;举起你的水晶酒杯吧。不要吝啬洒上你最好的香水,你想用的时候就享用吧!从你的词汇库中移去所谓的“有那么一天”或者“某一天”;曾打算“有那么一天”去写的信,就在今天吧!告诉家人和朋友,我们是多么地爱他们;

英语美文(摘抄)

不要延迟任何可以给你的生活带来欢笑与快乐的事情;每一天、每一小时、每一分钟都是那么特别;你无从知道这是否最后一刻

第二篇:英文美文


Twenty Dollars

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

"Now, who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."

"Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value."

"Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE."

"You are special — don’t ever forget it."

二十美元

一位有名的演讲家手里拿着一张20美元的纸币,开始了讨论会。在200人的屋子里,他问道:“谁想要这20美元纸币?”

开始有人举手。他说:“我会把这20美元纸币给你们中间的一位,但是,先看看我这么做。”

他开始把这张纸币揉皱,然后他问道:“还有人想要它吗?”仍然有很多手举在空中。

“好,”他说道,“如果我这样做会怎么样呢?”他把纸币扔到地上,开始用皮鞋使劲踩踏。

然后他拣起又脏又皱的纸币,“现在,还有人要它吗?”

空中仍举着很多手。

“朋友们,刚刚你们已经得出一个非常宝贵的经验。不管我怎么糟蹋这张纸币,你们仍然想要它,因为它的价值没有降低。它仍然是20美元。”

“在生活中,很多次我们被自己制定的决策和身边的环境所抛弃、蹂躏,甚至碾入尘土。我们感到自己一无是处。但是不管发生了什么,或者将要发生什么,你们都永远不会失去自己的价值。”

“无论你肮脏或者干净,皱巴巴的或者被折磨,对周围爱你的人来说你仍然是无可替代的。我们生活的价值不在于我们做了什么,或者我们认识谁,生活的价值在于我们是谁。”

“你是与众不同的,永远不要忘记这一点!”

摘自《心灵鸡汤》

Forget about the days when it's been cloudy.

But don't forget your hours in the sun.

Forget about the times you have been defeated.

But don't forget the victories you have won.

Forget about the misfortunes you have encountered.

But don't forget the times your luck has turned.

Forget about the days when you have been lonely.

But don't forget the friendly smiles you have seen.

Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right.

But don't forget to always have a dream.

译文:

忘掉你失意的日子,但不要忘记黄金的时光。

忘掉你的一次次失败,但不要忘记你夺取的胜利。

忘掉你遭遇的不幸,但不要忘记你的时来运转。

忘掉你的孤独日子,但不要忘记你得到的友善微笑。

Swallows may have gone, but there is a time of return; willow trees may have died back, but there is a time of regreening; peach blossoms may have fallen, but they will bloom again. Now, you the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return? - If they had been stolen by someone, who could it be? Where could he hide them? If they had made the escape themselves, then where could they stay at the moment?

I don’t know how many days I have been given to spend, but I do feel my hands are getting empty. Taking stock silently, I find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me. Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean, my days are dripping into the stream of time, soundless, traceless. Already sweat is starting on my forehead, and tears welling up in my eyes.

译文:

匆匆

—朱自清

燕子去了,有再来的时候;杨柳枯了,有再青的时候;桃花谢了,有再开的时候。但是,聪明的,你告诉我,我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢?--是有人偷了他们罢:那是谁?又藏在何处呢?是他们自己逃走了:现在又到了哪里呢?

我不知道他们给了我多少日子;但我的手确乎是渐渐空虚了。在默默里算着,八千多日子已经从我手中溜去;象针尖上一滴水滴在大海里,我的日子滴在时间的流里,没有声音也没有影子。我不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸了。

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

生活的乐趣

生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪,信赖这些情绪,并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。

生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的,也无法用戴上一张面具来伪装。 拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边,他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中,也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人,犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。

直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入,而非所求。

Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart.

Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always

believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.

Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your

destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of

the choices you've made. Have faith in your judgment. Catch the star that twinkles in

your heart and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover

the sweet sunrises that await you.

Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams.

Understand that you may make mistakes,

but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are

what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired

through hard work and determination. Find the star that twinkles in your heart? For

you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes

everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.

当生命中的那颗星在你内心闪耀的时候,要学会把握它,永远相信只要

自己持之以恒,就一定能够实现自己心中的梦想。

尽管通往梦想的道路上总有坎坷,你需要记住的是,你的命运就隐藏在

那困难背后。学会接受这样的事实:不是每一个人都赞同你的选择。你要坚

定自己的判断走下去。捕捉住那颗在你内心闪耀的星吧,它将引领你抵达自

己的命运之路。沿那条路走下去,你就会发现那属于自己的美丽日出。

为自己的成绩自豪,因为它们是你通往梦想的阶梯。要知道你自己也会

犯错误,但是可别因此而气馁。正确评价自己的能力,是它们令你与众不同。

生活里最丰厚的礼物不是买来的,而是通过艰苦的努力和决心获得的。找到

在你内心闪耀的那颗星吧?虽然你独自一人,但也有能力实现你最辉煌的梦

想。对即得的怀抱希望并抓住那颗掌控你命运的星吧。

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something special in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

要坚强,不让任何事物烦扰内心的平和。

要与每一个见到的人谈论健康、快乐和富足。

要让所有的朋友感到他们是与众不同的。

要看一切事情的光明面,让积极乐观弥漫。

要只去想最美好的事情;只追求最美好的结果;

要胸怀宽广,心无挂虑;要品行高尚,不怨不怒;

要身心坚强,无所畏惧;要心情欢畅,远离烦恼。

要抛却曾经的错误,为将来更伟大的成就坚定不移地前进。

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 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 houses,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the

snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting

themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change; we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

不论你的生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前,积雪同在早春融化。我只看到,一个从容的人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的,不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱的,毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样,无论是新的朋友或新的衣服,来麻烦你自己。找旧的,回到那里去。万物不变,是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想

Afternoon on a hill

(美)Edna ST. V. Millay

I will be the gladdest thing

Under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and clouds With quiet eyes.

Watch the wind blow down the grass, And the grass rise.

And when lights begin to show Up from the town,

I will mark which must be mine. And then start down!

午后登山

在天地之间

我最快活!

我会抚摸万紫千红,

但不采撷其中一朵。

我会用安详的目光

仰视云崖百丈。

看那风来百草低头,

风过又把头扬。

当小镇的灯光

开始闪亮

我会辨认我家的灯火,

然后走下山岗!
