篇1：初中课堂专用的英语美文鉴赏，附翻译

一、《旅途》

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began,

though the voices around you

kept shouting

their bad advice--

有一天，你终于知道，

什么是你必须得做，并开始去做，

虽然你周围的声音，

一直喊出，

其各种糟糕的建议——

though the whole house

began to tremble

and you felt the old tug

at your ankles.

“Mend my life!”

each voice cried.

But you didn’t stop.

You knew what you had to do,

虽然整个房子，

开始颤抖，

你亦感到那条旧绳索，

绊住了你的脚踝。

“修补我的人生!”

每个声音都在哭喊。

但你并没停止。

你知道什么是你必须得做的，

though the wind pried

with its stiff fingers

at the very foundation

though their melancholy

was terrible.

It was already late

enough, and a wild night,

and the road full of fallen

branches and stones.

虽然风用它僵硬的手指，

直往根基，

撬捣，

虽然它们的忧郁，

着实可怕。

天色，

已经很晚，这是个疯狂的夜晚，

路上满是倒下的，

断枝和石头。

But little by little,

as you left their voices behind,

the stars began to burn

through the sheets of cloud

and there was a new voice

which you slowly

recognized as your own,

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world,

determined to do

the only thing you could do--

determined to save

the only life you could save.

但渐渐地，

当你将它们的声音抛在身后，

星星开始穿透云层，

散发光辉，

一个新的声音出现了，

你慢慢，

意识到，那是你自己的声音，

它伴随着你，

伴你步步，

深入世途，

决心去做，

你唯一能做的事——

决定去拯救，

你唯一能拯救的生命。

二、《生命中的五个球》

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.

想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。

You name them-work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air.

这五个球分别是工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.

很快你就会了解工作是一个橡皮球，

If you drop it, it will bounce back.

如果你不幸失手落下它，它还会弹回来的。

But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass.

但是家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。

If you drop one of these,

一旦你失手落下，

they will be irrevocably scuffed,

它们将无法再像以前那样。

marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.

它们可能会少了一角，留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。

They will never be the same.

它们将无法再像以前那样。

You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

你必须了解这个道理，并且为了平衡你的生命而努力。

How? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.

别拿自己和他人比较，这只会降低你的价值。

It is because we are different that each of us is special.

因为我们都是独一无二的，因为我们每一个人都很特别。

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.

别人认为重要的事不一定是你的目标。

Only you know what is best for you.

只有你自己知道什么是最适合你的。

Don't take for granted the things that are closest to your heart.

不要将贴近你的心的人、事物视为理所当然。

Cling to them as they would be your life,

你必须将他们视为生命一般，

for without them, life is meaningless.

认真对待。因为没有他们，生命将失去意义。

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.

别让你的生命总是在依恋过去的种.种或是在未来的寄望中逝去。

By living your life one day at a time,

如果你活在每个当下，

you live ALL the days of your life.

那就活好你生命中的每一天。

Don't give up when you still have something to give.

当你还能给予的时候就别轻言放弃。

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

只要你不放弃，就有无限延伸的可能。

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.

别害怕承认你并不完美。

It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.

正因如此，我们才得以藉由这犹丝脆弱紧密地绑在一起。

Don't be afraid to encounter risks.

遇到危险时别害怕。

It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

正因如此，我们才得以藉由这些机会学习勇敢。

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.

另以爱太难寻找作为借口而紧闭你的心扉。

The quickest way to receive love is to give it;

最迅速找到爱的方法就是给予你的爱;

the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;

最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱。

and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

维持爱的最快好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,but also where you are going.

不要匆忙地度过你的一生，那匆忙让你忘了曾经到过哪里，也让你忘了你要去哪里。

Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

别忘记，人类情感上最大的需要是感恩。

Don't be afraid to learn.

不要害怕学习。

Knowledge is weightless,

知识没有重量，

a treasure you can always carry easily.

它是可以随身携带的珍宝。

Don't use time or words carelessly.

别漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或口无遮拦。

Neither can be retrieved.

时间与言词两者都是一放就收不回来的。

Life is not a race,

生命不是一场赛跑，

but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

而是一步一个脚印的旅程。

Yesterday is history.

昨天已成历史。

Tomorrow is a mystery.

明天还是未知。

Today is a gift:

而今天则是上天的恩赐

That's why we call it The Present.

因此，我们才称今天为“现在”。

篇2：初中生专用的英语美文鉴赏，附带翻译哦

一、《行如其人》

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, “How much is it to get in?”

这是奥克拉荷马城的一个晴朗的星期六下午。我的朋友巴比·路易斯，一位令人敬佩的父亲，带着他的两个小儿子去玩迷你高尔夫。他走向售票处，向售票员问道：“进去需要花多少钱?”

The young man replied, “$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?”

那个年轻人回答道：“你，3美元;6岁以上的儿童，3美元。6岁以下的儿童免费。他们多大了?”

Bobby replied, “The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00.”

巴比回答：“律师，3岁;医生，7岁。所以我想我应该付给你6美元。”

The man at the ticket counter said, “Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference.” Bobby replied, “Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference.”

那个售票的说：“嘿，先生，你是刚赢了彩票还是怎么了?你本可以省下3美元的。你可以告诉我，最大的6岁。我根本看不出来。”巴比回答：“对，那可能行得通，但是这些孩子会知道这其中的差别。”

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying.” In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.

就像拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生说的那样：“你本身要比你所说的话重要。”在这个道德比以往任何时候都重要的年代里，你最好给和你一起你生活和工作的人树立一个良好的榜样。

二、《抬头就是希望》

If you put a buzzard in a pen 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 attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. 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。

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimblecreature 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 shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

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。

A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists 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.

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。

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 frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.

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。

三、《我们正在起跑点》

“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”

I do not know who wrote those 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 like 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 contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our 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 effect it. Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……。”

我不知道这段文字是谁写的，我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己，那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。

我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。倘若种子长的不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。

我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来，因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。

往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。

我们的所作所为都会影响未来。只要我们体会的出来，每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们的事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。

篇3：教师专用：适合在高中英语课堂上的英语美文，附翻译

一、YOUTH 青春

Youth is not a time of life

it is a state of mind

青春不是年华

而是心境

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

青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝

而是深沉的意志

恢宏的想象

炙热的感情

it is the freshness

of the deep springs of life.

青春

是生命的深泉在涌流

Youth means a

temperamental predominance

of courage over timidity,

of the appetite for adventure

over the love of ease.

青春气贯长虹

勇锐盖过怯弱

进取压倒苟安

This often exists in a man of 60

more than a boy of 20

如此锐气

二十后生而有之

六旬男子则更多见

Nobody grows old merely

by a number of years.

We grow old

by deserting our ideals.

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.

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤

热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂

Worry, fear,self-distrust

bows the heart

and turns the spirit back to dust.

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.

无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄

心中皆有生命之欢乐

奇迹之诱惑

孩童般天真久盛不衰

In the center of your heart and my heart

there is a wirelessstation:

so long as it receives messages

of beauty, hope, cheer, courage & power

from men and from the Infinite,

so long are you young.

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

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

but as long as your aerials are up,

to catch waves of optimism,

there is hope you may die young at 80.

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

二、孤独

For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life,and mine has been that for the last twenty years,is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead,uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, take a walk with my dog,lie down in the afternoon for a think(Why does one think better in a horizontal position?),read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.

对我而言,独身生活中最有趣的——也是我最近以来深有体会的——就是它使生活变得越来越有情调了。当我早展醒来看到太阳从大海上冉冉升起的时候——尽管我几乎每天都是如此——我就知道面前将有没人打搅的整整一天时间了。在这一天里，我可以悠闲地写几页文章，可以带着狗散散步,午后还可以躺下来思考思考问题(为什么平躺的时候更加有利于思考呢?)，看看书，听听音乐，心中洋溢着快乐之情。

I am lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling up.And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot,and am full to the brim with experience that needs to be sorted out.

只有在我过度疲劳的时候，或是在我工作太久而没有休息的时候,或是在我当时觉得空虚因而需要充实的时候，我才会感到孤独。而有时，当我在外地演讲后赶回家的时候，当我和许多人见面并且交谈甚多的时候，当许多经历多得要溢出来，因而需要整理的时候，我才会感到孤独。

Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where myself is hiding.It has been recaptured slowly by watering the plants, perhaps, and looking again at each one as though it were a person,by feeding the two cats, by cooking a meal.

那个时候，房子一度让人觉得太大、太空，而我却不知道自我藏身于何处。也许通过给花草浇水，并对其逐一端详，好像端详人一样;也许通过喂那两只猫和做一餐饭，我才能又慢慢捕捉到自我了。

It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains at the end of the field, but the moment when the world falls away,and the self emerges again from the deep unconsciousness, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood,when I can converse again with my hidden powers,and so grow, and so be rewarded, till death do us part.

过了一会儿，我看到地平线的尽头海浪如泉水般喷涌，那一刻，世界消逝殆尽了，而自我从深层的无意识中再一次浮现，这才使我想起最近所经历的一切，让我去探究、去愎慢了解。此时，我又能与隐藏的力量交流了，于是我又在成长，并在成长中得到回报，直到死亡将我们分开。

三、假如生活重头再来 Living life over

If I had my life to live over…… I would have talked less and listened more.

假如我能重新生活,我会说得更少，听得更多。

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

我会邀请朋友来吃饭，即使地毯变脏,沙发褪色。

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

我会花时间听我的祖父漫谈他的年轻时光。

I would never have insisted the car windowsbe rolled up on a summer day

because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

我再也不会坚持在某个夏天的某一天车窗一定要打开，而我的头发刚刚被喷胶并被做好。

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

我会点燃雕得像朵玫瑰一样的粉红的蜡烛，在它被在存储中融化之前。

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

我会与我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用担心草地上的污渍。

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

我会在看电视时哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是观察生活。

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I were not there for the day.

当我生病时,我会上床睡觉，而不是假装如果我不在一天,地球就会停止不动。

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.

我再也不会购买任何据说是实用的,不显脏,保证可用一生的东西。

There would have been more“I love yous”……more“I‘m sorrys”……butmostly，given another shots at life，I would seize every minute……look at it and really see it……live it……and never give it back.

我会说更多的“我爱你. ” … …更多的“对不起. ” … 但是最主要的是，如果我可以重新生活我会抓住每一分钟… …看看它, 实实在在地看它… …好好生活… …决不让它重头再来。

篇4：适合小学生的英语美文鉴赏，附翻译

一、《优秀仅仅是种习惯》

Excellence is not an act, but a habit

Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.

人的品德基本上是由习惯组成的。俗语说;思想决定行动，行动决定习惯，习惯决定品德，品德决定命运。

Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

习惯对我们的生活有绝大的影响，因为它们是一贯的。在不知不觉中，经年累月影响着我们的品德，暴露出我们的本性，左右着我们的成败。

As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But is also know it isn’t a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.

美国著名教育家曼恩曾说：“习惯就仿佛是一条缆绳，我们每天为他缠上一股新索，不要多久就会变得牢不可破。”这句话的后半段我不敢苟同，我相信习惯可以养成，也可以打破，但绝不是一蹴而就，而是需要长期的努力和无比的毅力。

Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.

宇航员搭乘阿波罗11号太空船，首次登陆月球的刹那，的确令人叹为观止。但宇航员得先摆脱地球强大的引力，才能飞往月球。由此在刚发射的几分钟，也就是整个任务一开始的几英里之内，是最艰难的时刻，所耗的力量往往超越往后的几十万英里。

Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.

习惯也是一样，它具有极大的引力，只是许多人不加注意或不肯承认了。想要革除因循苟且，缺乏耐心，吹毛求疵或自私自利等不良习性，若是缺乏意志力，不能大刀阔斧的改革，便难以实现目标。“起飞”需要极大的努力，然而一旦脱离重力的牵绊，我们便可享受前所未有的自由。

二、一棵开花的树

May Buddha let us meet

in my most beautiful hours,

I have prayed for it

for five hundred years.

如何让你遇见我在我最美丽的时刻

为这我已在佛前求了五百年

求佛让我们结下一段尘缘

Buddha made me a tree

By the path you may take.

于是佛把我化做一棵树

长在你必经的路旁

In full blossoms

I'm waiting in the sun

Every flower

carrying my previous hope.

阳光下慎重地开满了花

朵朵都是我前世的盼望

As you are near,

Listen carefully

The quivering leaves

are my waiting zeal,

当你走近

请你细听

那颤抖的叶是我等待的热情

As you pass by the tree

without noticing me.

My friend,

Upon the ground behind you

Is not the fallen petals

But my withered heart.

而当你终于无视地走过

在你身后落了一地的

朋友啊

那不是花瓣

那是我凋零的心

篇5：华兹华斯的《咏水仙》英语美文鉴赏，附翻译

《咏水仙》

Drinking Alone with the Moon

作者：William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host,of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake,beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

我孤独的漫游，像一朵云

在山丘和谷地上飘荡

忽然见我看见一群

金色的水仙花迎春开放

在树荫下，在湖水边

迎着微风起舞翩翩

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the Milky Way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance

Tossing their heads

in sprightly dance.

连绵不绝，如繁星灿烂

在银河里闪闪发光

它们沿着湖湾的边缘

延伸成无穷无尽的一行

我一眼看见了一万朵

在欢舞之中起伏颠簸

The waves beside them

danced, but they

Out-did the sparking waves in glee:

A Poet could not but be gay

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

粼粼波光也跳着舞，

水仙的欢欣却胜过水波;

与这样快活的伴侣为伍，

诗人怎能不满心快乐!

我久久凝望，却想象不到

这奇景赋予我多少财宝。

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

每当我躺在床上不眠，

或心神空茫，或默默沉思，

它们常在心灵中闪现，

那是孤独之中的福;

于是我的心便涨满幸福，

和水仙一同翩翩起舞。

拓展：

咏水仙

作者：华兹华斯，1770-1850，是英国浪漫派诗人，与Samuel Coleridge,Robert Soother同称“湖畔派”诗人。

他出生于律师家庭，曾就读于剑桥大学圣约翰学院，毕业后到欧洲旅行，在法国亲身领略大革命的风暴。

咏水仙为作者对自然地喜爱的一首诗歌。

篇6：英语美文鉴赏《人生如旅程》，附翻译及精读笔记哦

今天为大家带来的是英语美文欣赏：人生如旅程，不仅是有翻译，下面还有精心笔记等着大家来学习哦，接下来就让我们一起来学习吧。

一、原文阅读

Life is a journey

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

人生好似一个包裹,这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败,希望与绝望。人生也是一个学习的过程。那些经历给我们上了全新的课,让我们变得更好。随着每一天的过去,我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。

Love

Love plays a pivotal role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go haywire and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who showed us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

爱在生活之外扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你想要得到些什么。没有爱,一个人将走向不归路,变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上,我们的父母给予了我们无条件的关爱,他们教会我们判断正确与错误、好与坏。然而我们常常把这想当然了,只有等到我们结了婚并且有了孩子之后,一个人才会懂得并注意别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、变得成熟稳重,并且更好的理解人生。

Happiness and Sorrow

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

物质上的快乐往往是短暂的,然而,当你给予他人一个微笑的时候,那种满足却是无与伦比的。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。在伤心的时候,我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本都来自于一个爱人的去世、失败还有绝望,但是这样的事情都是暂时的,总会过去的。

Failure and Success

Failure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

失败是成功之母。它让我们触及蓝天,它教会我们如何生存,它给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给予我们金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这里,保持头脑清醒便显得尤为重要。唯一能让我们感激上帝给予的成功便是始终卑微、谦虚、礼貌并且尊重没有我们幸运的人们。

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice - keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望使我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望,因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么事一成不变的,我们惟有充满希望地继续生活。

人生教会我们不要对过去的事感到后悔,因为过去的终究是过去了并且我们已无法控制。没人知道明天会是怎样,因为它可以是光明的同样也可以是无趣的。所以,唯一的选择便是在今天努力工作,这样才能让我们去享受更美好的明天。

一、来自你身体的一封信

Hi! It's your body here!

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

I'm the home that you've always lived in.

Surely you remember.

We grew up together!

你肯定记得我，

我们一起长大的。

I feel neglected in this relationship,

very disappointed in what I've been seeing.

我感觉我在这段关系里被忽视了。

you sacrificed my well being,

which makes no sense in the least

because when I get sick

you sacrificed that same money

to recuperate ME.

你有想挣钱的雄心，

却为此牺牲我的健康。

这完全不合理，

因为如果我病了，

你赚的那些钱都要用来给我治病!

And what's even more ironic

is with all your interest in profit

you can't even see the truth

that I'm worth over A BILLION DOLLARS.

更讽刺的是，

你利欲熏心，

甚至看不清这个事实：

我才是最宝贵的啊!

as your body I am worth over a BILLION DOLLARS.

这都是一些很愚蠢的选择，

And don't get me started with the heart.

If I was a company, right?

This Heart wouldn't get Employee of the Month.

It would get the Employee of the LIFE!

如果我是一间公司，

心脏不会得到“月度最佳员工”称号。

your heart never stops working!

你的心脏从未停止工作!

现在想想，

我不曾听你说过谢谢。

without you even trying.

对你用来攀爬的手，

对让你呼吸的肺部说“谢谢”。

I do it all for you, cause you come first.

Cause you're my homie!

We go way back, don't we?

Like, birth?

我为你做这一切，

是因为你永远是我的第一位，

因为你是我的好朋友，

我们认识很久了，对吧?

you start treating me what I'm worth.

是时候你该给我应有的对待了。

篇9：适合在高中生课堂上的英语美文赏析，附翻译

一、《做你想做的梦》

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

在一生有多少这样的时刻：我们对一个人朝思暮想，只想一把把他们从梦中拉出来，真切的拥抱一回!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

一扇通往幸福的门关闭了，另一扇幸福之门打开了，可有多少次啊，我们徘徊在那扇关闭的门前，却忽略了那扇早已为我们开启的新的幸福之门。

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

不要以貌取人，外貌可能会欺骗你;不要追逐财富，财富会消失的。去寻找那个让你笑口常开的人吧，一个微笑就可以使暗淡的日子豁然开朗。去追寻那个令你心灵愉悦的人吧!

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

做你想做的梦，去你想去的地方，成为你想成为的人，因为你只有一次生命和一次机会去做你想做的事情。

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

愿幸福与你永伴，使你亲切可爱;愿你历经磨难，使你坚韧不拔;愿你痛彻心肺，使你通情达理，愿你充满希望，使你幸福快乐。

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

世界上最幸福的人并不一定拥有最好的东西，他们只是最充分利用、珍惜了他们生命中的一切。

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

爱始于微笑，育于亲吻，终于流泪。

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

五彩缤纷的明天常常建立在对过去的遗忘之上。只有对过去的失败和伤痛不再耿耿于怀，生活才会变得更加美好。

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

当你呱呱落地、啼哭不已时，周围的人却笑逐颜开;要认真的生活，只有这样，当你走到生命的尽头时，你才会含笑而眠，而周围的人却痛哭不已。

二、《阳光下的时光》

“…I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.”----- Henry David Thoreau.

“……我虽然不富甲天下，却拥有无数个艳阳天和夏日。”----亨利·大卫·梭罗

When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden. Pond he knew as a boy.

写这句话时，梭罗想起孩提时代的瓦尔登湖。

Woodchoppers and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days “when idleness was the most attractive and productive business.”

当时伐木者和火车尚未严重破坏湖畔的美丽景致。小男孩可以走向湖中，仰卧小舟。自一岸缓缓漂向另一岸，周遭有鸟儿戏水，燕子翻飞。梭罗喜欢回忆这样的艳阳天和夏日，“慵懒是最迷人也是最具生产力的事情!”

I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what they always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer find much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city. The swamps where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with houses. The bay where water lilies quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short, everything that the boy loved no longer exists----except in the man's memory of it.

我也曾经是热爱湖塘的小男孩，拥有无数个艳阳天与夏日。如今阳光、夏日依旧，男孩和湖塘却已改变。那男孩已长大成人，不再有那么多时间泛舟湖上。而湖塘也为大城市所并。曾有苍鹭觅食的沼泽，如今已枯竭殆尽，上面盖满了房舍。睡莲静静漂浮的湖湾。现在成了汽艇的避风港。总之，男孩所爱的一切已不复存在----只留在人们的回忆中。

Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.

有些人坚持认为只有今日和明日才是重要的，可是如果真的照此生活，我们将是何其可怜!许多今日我们做的事徒劳不足取的，很快就会被忘记。许多我们期待明天将要做的事却从来没有发生过。

The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.

过去是一所银行。我们将最可贵的财产---记忆珍藏其中。记忆赐予我们生命的意义和深度。

Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quite hour in the sun.

真正珍惜过去的人，不会悲叹旧日美好时光的逝去。因为藏于记忆中的时光永不流失。死亡本身无法止住一个记忆中的声音，或擦除一个记忆中的微笑。对现已长大成人的那个男孩来说，那儿将有一个湖塘不会因时间和潮汐而改变，可以让他继续在阳光下享受安静时光。
