英语优美散文--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 亨利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗
The day is cold,and dark,and dreary;
It rains,and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My though still cling to the moldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still,sad heart!And cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
天冷、阴暗、沉闷；
下着雨，风也刮个不停；
藤还攀附着颓垣残壁，
每来一阵狂风，枯叶附落纷纷，
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷；
下着雨，风也刮个不停；
我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事，
大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭，
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
安静吧，忧伤的心！别再悔恨；
乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂；
你命运和大家的一样，
每个人一生都得逢上阴雨，
有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。
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 hourss,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。
爱情的见证
Love's Witness
Slight unpremeditated Words are borne
By every common Wind into the Air;
Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born，
And in one instant give both Hope and Fear：
Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind
According to the Caprice of the Mind.
But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses ，
Substantial Records to Eternity;
Just Evidences，who the Truth confess,
On which the Lover safely may rely；
They're serious Thoughts，digested and resolv'd；
And last，when Words are into Clouds devolv'd.
不加思索的轻率话语，
被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气；
随便说说，刚出口即消失，
一瞬间给人希望和恐惧：
同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠，
追随心灵无常的遐想。
但情书则是恒常的见证，
直至永恒的实体记录；
公道的证物，它道出真诚，
恋人能在其上安心依附；
它们是严肃的思想，经过深思熟虑；
当话语在云外消失，它们还将延续。

从不说他做不到
We Never Told Him He Couldn't Do It
My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally - but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk .
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know.
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. He just did it.
从不说他做不到
我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。
邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。
七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。每天他和大伙一块训练。也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。我们没有告诉琼尼；也许会落空，所以他不知道。
他坚持每天跑4~5英里。我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。我问他感觉怎么样， "很好。"他说。还剩下最后两英里。他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。
两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。琼尼是第六名，他成功了。他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了！

优美英语短篇散文Youth (青春)-----经典背诵美文
Author: Samuel Ullman
译者：王佐良
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, a quality of the imagination,
a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
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。
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.
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。
如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。
年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
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.
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。
忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
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.
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
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.
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

文摘:
An ant is a wise creature for itself，but it is a shrewd thing in an orchard2 or garden.And certainly men that are great lovers of themselves waste the public. Divide with reasonbetween self-love and society； and be so true to thyself，as thou be not false to others； spe-cially to thy king and country. It is a poor centre of a man's actions， himself. It is rightearth. For that only stands fast upon his own centre； whereas all things that have affinitywith the heavens，move upon the centre of another，which they benefit. The referring of allto a man's self is more tolerable3 in a sovereign prince； because themselves are not onlythemselves， but their good and evil is at the peril of the public fortune. But it is a desperateevil in a servant to a prince ， or a citizen in a republic. For whatsoever affairs pass such aman's hands， he crooketh them to his own ends； which must needs to be often eccentric tothe ends of his master or state. Therefore ， let princes，or states，choose such servants ashave not this mark； except they mean their service should be made but the accessory. Thatwhich maketh the effect more pernicious is that all proportion is lost It were disproportionenough for the servant's good to be preferred before the master's； but yet it is a greaterextreme，when a little good of the servant shall carry things against a great good of themaster's. And yet that is the case of bad officers，treasurers，ambassadors，generals，andother false and corrupt4 servants； which set a bias upon their bowl ， of their own petty endsand envies，to the overthrow of their master's great and important affairs. And for the mostpart，the good such servants receive is after the model of their own fortune； but the hurt ...

英语唯美短文（带翻译）1、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.
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、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.
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。
3、The first snow came.
How beautiful it was, falling so silently, all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves1) of the dead!
All white save the river, that marked2) its course by a winding black line across the landscape3), and the leafless trees, that against the leaden4) sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacy5) of their branches!
第一场雪降临了。
真美啊!整日整夜,悄无声息地飘落,落在高山上,落在草地上,落在生者的房顶上,落在逝者的坟茔上!
万物皆白,惟有河流蜿蜒成一条黑线穿过雪野,还有无叶的林木,衬映在铅灰色的天空下,此刻更显得枝桠交错,仪态万千.
4、In the entire world there's nobody like me. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, or my voice.
I'm special.
大千世界,芸芸众生,没人与我相同.自创世伊始,从未有过像我一样的人.没人拥有和我一样的笑容；没人拥有和我一样的眼睛、鼻子、头发、双手或声音.
我就是我.
5、We’re always on the go10)trying to accomplish so much, aren’s we? Getting groceries, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn — there’s always something. It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time, let’s make sure that we’ve not the one that others have to pretend is wearing an invisible smile.
我们总是忙着去尽量完成更多的事,不是吗?买东西,打扫屋子,割院子里的草——总有些什么事.这就使我们很容易在日常生活中忘记：给自己和别人带来快乐是多么简单的事情.绽放微笑花费的精力与时间很少,让我们确保自己不会成为这样的人——别人总得假装我们有看不见的笑容.
十篇优美的英文小短文My Favourite Book
I like reading,so I love many different kinds of books very much,because they not only broaden my horizons(视野)but also give me inspiration(灵感).
Up to now I have read a lot of books,for example,magazines,novels and storybooks and so on.But one of the books that I like best is My Life Story.It was created(创作)by an American writer-Helen Keller(海伦·凯勒)in 1902.She was a blind(盲的),deaf(聋的)and dumb(哑的)person.In the book,she wrote that she had not been able to see,hear or speak since the age of one year and seven months.This unusual thing made her very sad.When she was seven years old,she knew Miss Sullivan(沙利文),her good teacher.Helen was getting happier every day.Then,Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words.At first,Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again.Helen was a very diligent girl.Because of this,she tried as much as possible to remember words.After that,she wrote and published(出版)many famous works.My Life Story is one of them.
My Life Story described her hard struggle to become an outstanding(著名的)writer and educationist(教育家)of the world.
It shows us a universal(普遍的)truth："Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it!"This is why I like it best.What about you?
Mid Autumn Day is an autumn festive in China.It comes in September or October.On that day,families eat a big dinner, they also eat mooncakes somesmall round cakes with nuts meat or eggs in them.
The moon looks briter and rounder on that day .Chinese people often talk about their families and
tell the story of Chang e.It is like the Thanksgiving day in American.
水里的游鱼是沉默的，陆地上的兽类是喧闹的，空中的飞鸟是歌唱着的。
但是，人类却兼有海里的沉默，地上的喧闹与空中的音乐。
the fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy,
the bird in the air is singing.
but man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and
the music of the air.
在我自己的杯中，饮了我的酒吧，朋友。
一倒在别人的杯里，这酒的腾跳的泡沫便要消失了。
take my wine in my own cup, friend.
it loses its wreath of foam when poured into that of others.
只管走过去，不必逗留着采了花朵来保存，因为一路上花朵自会继续开放的。
do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on,
for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.

The Daffodils(水仙花)
I wander'd lonely as a cloud 我像一朵浮云独自漫游
That floats on high o'er vales and hills, 飘过深谷群山，
When all at once I saw a crowd, 突然间，看到一片
A host of golden daffodils, 无数朵的金色水仙花，
Beside the lake, beneath the trees, 长在湖畔，长在树下，
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. 微风中翩翩起舞。
Continuous as the stars that shine 不断地像发光的星斗
And twinkle on the milky way, 闪烁在银河中，
They stretch'd in never-ending line 无涯无际地延伸
Along the margin of a bay: 在海湾之滨；
Ten thousand saw I at a glance 一瞥间，我看到成千上万的水仙，
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. 摇晃着它们的小脑袋快乐地起舞。
The waves beside them danced, but they 海水在它们的身旁澎湃，
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:--- 但它们比闪耀的海波更为愉快：－
A poet could not but be gay 诗人不得不由衷欣喜
In such a jocund company! 在这样愉悦的友伴之中！
I gazed --- and gazed --- but little thought 我看了又看－可是很少想到
What wealth the show to me had brought; 这景象带给我多么宝贵的财富；
For oft, when on my couch I lie 在心境空虚或沉思之际，
In vacant or in pensive mood, 我常仰卧在沙发上，
They flash upon that inward eye 它们掠过我的心灵
Which is the bliss of solitude; 那是我孤寂中的无上喜乐；
And then my heart with pleasure fills, 于是，我心充满喜悦，
And dances with the daffodils. 与水仙共享舞足之乐。
by William Wordsworth
