　　短篇英文美文 篇1

　　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.

　　Youth means a temperamental 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 spirit back to dust.

　　Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for 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, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

　　When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

　　短篇英文美文 篇2

　　It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity.

　　Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.

　　短篇英文美文 篇3

　　A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

　　A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

　　Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

　　A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.

　　Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good.

　　Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

　　The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.

　　短篇英文美文 篇4

　　Three 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 very verge of despair.

　　I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for 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 the 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 sway 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 it brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate 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 would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

　　短篇英文美文 篇5

　　Chinese Women Volleyball Team

　　It all began in June, 1976, when the new China National Women's Volleyball Team was formed. It wasn't easy, as the world of volleyball was dominated either by the Western teams which were characterized by their power and height, or by the more versatile Eastern teams (e.g. Japan) which are know for their speed and skill.

　　But the new team had two features that became important for their later success: Hope and a good coach. Yue Wai Man, 37 at that time, was named the head coach of the team. His unique vision made him realize to be one of the best, you have to learn what makes them the best. Therefore, a unique style combining speed, height, power and skill was developed.

　　Being the best of Asia was only the first step. Our beloved Chinese ladies knew full well what has been waiting for them next.

　　I really hope our Chinese Women Volleyball Team can win the gold again.

　　我所追求的生活

　　威廉.薩姆塞特.毛姆/William Somerset Maugham

　　That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life of life it offers has a homely grace. It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness. Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course. There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.

　　In my heart was desire to live more dangerously. I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I could only have change-change and the excitement of unforeseen.

　　這一定是世間無數(shù)對(duì)夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動(dòng)聲色，你會(huì)突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時(shí)代，這想法對(duì)我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數(shù)人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點(diǎn)兒什么。我承認(rèn)這種生活有社會(huì)價(jià)值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動(dòng)卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的.旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險(xiǎn)的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘。

　　短篇英文美文 篇7

　　生活并非總是如你所愿。

　　We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way.

　　我們的希望和夢想有時(shí)會(huì)落空、破滅，我們不能一切隨心所愿。

　　But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.

　　但不要放棄希望，因?yàn)槭挛锊⒎且怀刹蛔�；不同時(shí)間，不同場合，你會(huì)呈現(xiàn)不同的面貌。

　　處處留心你身邊的美吧－－自然中的'，別人中的，你自己的－－請(qǐng)相信，愛來自朋友、家庭乃至全人類。

　　You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.

　　一個(gè)微笑，援助之手，關(guān)心的舉止，友善的世界，無不傳達(dá)著愛。愛無所不在，如果你有尋找的話。

　　Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience, and understanding.

　　奉獻(xiàn)愛心吧，從中你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)生活的力量，感受生活帶來的幸�？鞓�，學(xué)會(huì)忍耐和理解。

　　Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.

　　相信人性本善。記住，愛心和希望能化解一切憤怒和沮喪。

　　Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.

　　哪怕生活中揮之不去的不快和困難將你重重包圍，讓你力不從心，但你仍可以盡力而為。累積點(diǎn)滴努力，最終你將扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤。

　　短篇英文美文 篇8

　　It was Friday morning and a young busi－nessman finally decided to ask his boss for a raise．Before leaving for work，he told his wife what he was about to do．All day long he felt nervous and apprehensive．Finally，in the late afternoon，he summoned the courage to approach his employer，and to his delight，the boss agreed to the raise．

　　短篇英文美文 篇9

　　In April 1884 Freud read of a German army doctor who had successfully employed e as a means of increasing the energy and endurance of soldiers. He determined to obtain some for himself and try it as a treatment for other conditionsheart disease, nervous exhaustion and addiction. It was little known at that time and the extensive ethical and methodological rules governing modern drug trials did not exist.

　　Freud took some himself and was immediately impressed with the sense of well-being it engendered, without diminishing his capacity for work. Having read a report in the Detroit Medical Gazette concerning its value in the treatment of addictions his next step was to recommend the substance as a harmless substitute to his friend and colleague, Ernst von Fleischl-Marxow. Fleischl. Who had become a addict following repeated therapeutic administrations for intractable neurological pain and was in desperate straits, took to e with enthusiasm and was soon consuming it in large quantities.

　　Meanwhile Freud continued to extol the virtues of the drug, writing a review essay on the subject, taking it himself and pressing it upon his fiancee, friends as a panacea for all ills, He had gone overboard with enthusiasm, writing to Martha when he heard she had lost her appetite,Woe to you, my Princess. When I come. I will kiss you quite red and fees you till you are plump. And if you are forward you shall see who is the stronger, a gentle little girl who doesnt eat enough or a big wild man who has e in his body.

　　短篇英文美文 篇10

　　Hope is what makes one‘s life continue forward. Setting goals for oneself is fine, but impossible to reach without hope. Many humans believe that hope is what creates disappointment; a sad belief to have. For hope provides one with the ability to project success in one‘s mind, aids in one‘s acceptance of one‘s faults and to know that challenges lie ahead, and provides the strength needed to remain appropriately focused on reaching one‘s goals.

　　Hope provides one with trust, healthy and responsible anticipation, and gives one optimism. Hope does not create disappointment, expectation does. For when one expects, one ignorantly narrows one‘s focus. Expectation is what creates disappointment by causing each expectant individual to feel pessimistic with failure, impatient with new fears and challenges, and immature and uneducated when their narrow scope of goal achieving goes awry. Hope brings one‘s focus on goal achieving into a broader view allowing one to see new fears and challenges and helping one to prepare.

　　短篇英文美文 篇14

　　英文：

　　An ancient Hebrew text says," Love is as strong as death." It seems that not everyone experiences this kind of strong love. The increase in poverty, crime and war tells us that the world is in desperate need of true love. But what is true love?Love is something we all need but how do we know when we've experienced it? True love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel.

　　Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love.

　　翻譯：

　　古希伯來語中有這么一句話：“愛如死般堅(jiān)強(qiáng)�！憋@然不是每個(gè)人都能體驗(yàn)到如此濃烈的深愛，在我們的生存之地，貧窮在擴(kuò)散，罪惡在曼延，戰(zhàn)爭在涂炭生靈。這一切都表明，世界迫切需要真愛。但到底什么才是真愛呢？人們渴求愛，但我們?cè)鯓硬趴梢源_信我們體驗(yàn)到了它的存在呢？真愛應(yīng)該是一種奉獻(xiàn)精神，是一種勝過言語的奉獻(xiàn)行為，而不是僅僅建筑在我們感覺上的.一種激情。愛當(dāng)然離不開激情，但那絕不是我們衡量愛的唯一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
