唯美经典英文文章1
Of Study论读书
-By Francis Bacon弗兰西斯·培根
书籍是喂养人类灵魂的粮食，人不吃饭会饿死，那么人的精神缺乏适当的喂养也会饥饿，我想在现代这个速食的社会所缺乏的就是精神食粮的喂养。不断阅读，这样我们才不至于越来越肤浅。
Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.
读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时;其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中;其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然纵观统筹、全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。
They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation Read not to contradict and confute nor to believe and take for granted.
读书补天然之不足， 经验 又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接;而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书，无知者羡读书，唯明智之士用读书，然书并不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.
书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只需读其部分者，有只需大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。
唯美经典英文文章2
First Snow初雪
初雪来临的时候，有人在漫天飞舞的雪花中欢呼雀跃，恨不能随之飞舞;也有孩童迫不及待地冲出家门，想用初雪堆砌冬天第一个雪人;也有人望着落于手心，慢慢融化的雪花，神情恬淡而飘缈;亲爱的，你是怎样迎接每一场初雪的?
This morning, when I first caught sight of the unfamiliar whitened world, I could not help wishing that we had snow oftener, that English winters were more wintry.
今天早上，当我第一次看见这个陌生的银白色的世界时，我不禁衷心希望这里能够多下几场雪，这样我们英国的冬天才能更增添几分冬天的味道。
How delightful it would be, I thought, to have months of clean snow and a landscape sparkling with frost instead of innumerable grey featureless days of rain and raw winds.
我想，如果我们这里经常是个冰雪积月、霜华璀璨的景象，而不是像现在这种苦雨凄风永无尽期的阴沉而乏特色的日子，那该多么令人喜悦啊!
I began to envy my friends in such places as the Eastern States of America and Canada, who can count upon a solid winter every year and know that the snow will arrive by a certain date and will remain, without degenerating into black slush, until Spring is close at hand. To have snow and frost and yet a clear sunny sky and air as crisp as a biscuit - this seemed to me happiness indeed.
于是我羡慕起那些居住在美国东部各州和加拿大的我的友人们，他们那里年年都能出现一个像样的冬天，都能说得出降雪的确切日期，并能保证，直至大地春回之前，那里的雪绝无退化为黑色泥浆的可能。既有霜雪，又有晴朗温煦的天空，而且空气又非常凉爽清新——这在我看来实在是很大的快乐。
And then I saw that it would never do for us. We should be sick of it in a week. After the first day the magic would be gone and there would be nothing left but the unchanging glare of the day and the bitter cruel nights.
但马上我又觉得这样还是不行。不出一周人们就会对它感到厌烦。第一天后魔力便会消失，剩下的唯有白昼那种永无变化的耀眼阳光与刺骨严寒和凄冷的夜晚。
It is not the snow itself,the sight of the blanketed world, that is so enchanting, but the first coming of the snow, the sudden and silent of the relations, for ever shifting and unanticipated,of wind and water comes a magical event.
让人如此着迷的不是雪的本身，不在这个银装素裹的景象，而是初雪降临时，那突然而宁静的变化。正是从风风雨雨这类变幻无常和难以预期的关系之中才会出现这种以降雪为奇迹的情形。
Who would change this state of things for a steadily recurring round,an earth governed by the calendar? It has been well said that while other countries have a climate, we alone in England have weather. There is nothing duller than climate,which can be converted into a topic only by scientists and hypochondriacs.
谁又肯拿眼前这般景致去换上个永远周而复始的单调局面，一个全由年历来控制的大地?有一句话说的好，别的国家都有气候，唯有英国才有天气。气候是最为枯燥和乏味的，或许只有科学家与疑难杂症患者才会把它当做话题。
But weather is our earth's Cleopatra, and it is not to be wondered at that we, who must share her gigantic moods, should be for ever talking about her. Once we were settled in America, Siberia, Australia, where there is nothing but a steady pact between climate and the calendar,we should regret her very naughtinesses, her willful pranks,her gusts of rage, and sudden tears.
但是天气却是我们这块土地上的克里奥佩特拉，因而毫不奇怪，人们为它巨大情绪变化所左右，总不免要对她窃窃私议。假如一旦我们定居于美洲、西伯利亚与澳大利亚，在那里气候与年历之间早已有成约在先，我们即使仅仅因为失去她的调皮，她任性的恶作剧，她的狂忿盛怒与涕泣涟涟也会深感遗憾。

Summer Afternoon夏日午后
夏日的午后，太阳毫不吝惜的挥洒着热度。炎炎夏日，挥汗如雨，大汗淋漓之后却有着莫名的酣畅淋漓。夏日，就这么真诚的张扬着自己独特的个性，挥洒着灼人的热情。
Summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words. Summer is the glorious time of the year when most of us can put on our shorts and short-sleeved shirts and actually feel the air and sunlight on our skin; when we don't have to turn up the heat in the morning when we get up; but also when we lay hot and sweaty in bed, unable to sleep at times (those of us who don't have air conditioning, anyway); when we get the sunburn and the heatstroke and all those wonderful things.
夏日的下午;对我来说，这几个字一直是英语语言中最美丽的两个字。浪漫夏季，这是一年中最灿烂的季节，我们可以穿上短裤，短袖，尽情地感受着夏日的空气以及撒在皮肤上的阳光;我们不必要在清晨起床后就去打开暖气;当然我们也会满身是汗，燥热地躺在床上，而无法入眠(那些没有空调设施的人们);有了一身夏日晒斑，中暑，这一切都是我们经历着夏日的美妙事情。
All green and fair the summer lies, just budded from the bud of spring, with tender blue of wistful skies, and winds that softly sing. How beautiful the summer night is, which is not night, but a sunless, yet unclouded day,descending upon earth with dews and shadows and refreshing coolness! How beautiful the long mild twilight,which, like a silver clasp, unites today with yesterday!
夏日展现出一片翠绿、美丽的图画，就像春天的蓓蕾刚刚萌芽，湛蓝的令人向往的天空，还有那轻声吟唱的微风。夏日的夜晚也是美丽的，与其称它为夜晚，它其实更像一个阳光照射不到的，晴朗的白昼，它携带清露，阴凉以及一丝丝清爽降落到了地球!这漫长柔和的夏日黎明也是如此美丽，它就像一个银扣，将今天与昨天紧紧地联系在一起!
Summer is a sailor in a rowboat and ice-cream on your dress when you're four years old. Summer is a man with his coat off, wet sand between your toes, the smell of a garden an hour before moonrise. Summer is silk itself, a giant geranium and music from a flute far away!
夏日是一叶小舟上的船夫，是你四岁时不小心沾在裙脚上的冰淇淋;夏日是赤裸着上身的男人，是浸入你脚趾间的湿漉漉的沙子;夏日还是朝阳初升前一小时的那花园里的清香味。夏日就是那丝绸锦缎，那盛开的天竺葵，以及从远方飘来的悠悠长笛声!
No matter how we see it, summer has a magic that we can't deny - all four seasons do.
不管我们如何看待它，夏季总有着那么一种我们无法否认的魔力——每个季节独有的魔力。

True nobility
真实的高贵
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
在生活和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
我一向认为，内心生活开始更为严谨的人，他的外在生活也会变得更为简朴。在物欲横流的年代，但愿我能向世人表明：人类的真正需求少得多么可怜。
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
反思 自己的过错不至于重蹈覆辙才是真正的悔悟。高人一等并没有什么值得夸耀的。真正的高贵是优于过去的自已。

Be grateful to life
感恩生活
Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much.
美国总统罗斯福的家曾经失窃，财物损失严重。朋友闻此消息，就写信来安慰他，劝他不必把这件事放在心上。
President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”
罗斯福总统很快回信说：“亲爱的朋友，谢谢你来信安慰我，我一切都很好。我想我应该感谢上帝，因为：第一，我损失的只是财物，而人却毫发未损;第二，我只损失了部分财物，而非所有财产;第三，最幸运的是，做小偷的是那个人，而不是我……”
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
对任何人来说，家中失窃绝非幸事。但是，罗斯福总统却能找到三个感恩的理由。这个 故事 告诉我们，生活中，我们应该学会感恩。
Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom. . It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.
感恩是一项重要的处世哲学，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事顺通。对于各种失败和不幸，我们要豁达大度，勇敢地面对，并想办法解决。
We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also
面对困难，我们是懊恼抱怨、沮丧气馁，陷入绝望，还是对生活满怀感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起来呢?英国著名作家威廉·萨克雷说过，“生活是一面镜子，你对它笑，它也会对你笑;你对他哭，它也会对你哭。”
If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.
如果对生活感恩，你的生命将充满灿烂的阳光;如果一味怨恨，终将一无所获。我们成功时，有千万个理由感恩生活，而失败时，只要一个借口就会表现出忘恩负义。
I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.
我想，不论是遭遇失败还是不幸，我们都应该感谢生活。只有这样，失败后，我们才能发现自己的缺点和不足，不幸时，我们还能感受到安慰和温暖。这些就能帮我们找回勇气，战胜困难，并获取前进的强大推动力。我们应像罗斯福总统那样，换一个角度去看待生活中的失败和挫折，永远对生活充满感恩，才能时刻保持健康的心态，积极地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不断进取的精神。感恩不仅仅是一种精神慰藉，也不是对现实的规避，更不是阿Q的精神胜利法。感恩源于我们对生活的热爱和希望，它是我们歌颂生活的一种方式。
When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.
把一小块明矾放入混沌的水中，我们发现，水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一颗感恩的心，就能沉淀许多的浮躁和不安，消融许多的不满和不幸。感恩能让我们的生活变得更加美好。

优美的英文段落带翻译精选
信心成就一切
Nothing succeeds lacks confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It's important to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from acting with integrity and confidence. It comes from a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take responsibility, rather than just letting life happen. One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence is compassionate and understanding. It is not arrogant. Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do that you are capable of accomplishing anything you want,and live your life with confidence. Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort and self-confidence. If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power to change it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live your priorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment with your priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose, and you will have the life you want.
信心成就一切，当你真正自信时，它就像灿烂的阳光一样从你身上散发出来，就像磁铁一样将成功吸引到你身上。 相信自己非常重要。要相信自己无论在任何情况下都会成功。因为如果你相信你能做到，那么你就真的会做到。这种信念促使你不断的去寻找答案，而不断的探索就意味着你很快就会找到答案。 信心不只是一种态度，它来源于你确切地知道自己要去干什么并且确切地知道怎么去干。它来源于正直和自信地去行动。它来源于强烈的目标感。它来源于强烈地勇于承担责任的许诺，而不是让生命放任自流。 培养自信的一种 方法 是去做你害怕做的事情，并将它做成功。 信心是富有同情心和善解人意的。它一点都不傲慢自大。傲慢是由于害怕和缺乏安全感才产生的，而信心则出于坚强的决心和诚实正直。 信心并不是仅仅认为你可能会成功，而是确信你一定能成功。确信你有能力实现自己的愿望，并充满信心的生活着。 如果你足够专心、坚决和自信，那么任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你预想的那样，你有力量去改变它，并且你必须一步一步的去实现这些改变。铭记你生命中最重要的事情。有目标并且有计划的去生活。为你的目标而奋斗，你就会拥有自己想要的生活。

The Old Farmer
An old farmer had spend all his life on his farm in the countryside, far from the city. One day, he dicided to visit the big city.

The old farmer was amazed. “What an incredible little room! ” he said to himself. “It’s magic! It can change an old woman into a young girl. The next time I come here, I’m going to bring my wife along. ”

Reading Makes a Full Man
We see that the real factor by which a “full man” is made is neither education nor experience; it is reading. By reading scientific treatises, we are informed of many facts; by reading geography, we know the earth’s surface, forms, physical features etc.; by reading history, we are told of the growth of nations.
With eyes we can see; with ears we can hear. But at a distance, small objects can hardly be distinguished by naked eyes, and ordinary sounds are not audible to our ears without a transmiter. It is by reading that we can know many things without actually seeing or hearing them. Besides, a fair knowledge of what the world is thinking and doing can only be acquired by reading newspapers and magazines.
Therefore, no matter how advanced our education may be, or how much experience we may have, we cannot become “full man” unless we keep on reading.
我们知道造就一个“完人”的真正因素既不是 教育 也不是 经验 ，而是读书。通过阅读科学论文，我们能知道许多事实;通过阅读地理，我们知道地球的表面、形状和物理特征等。通过阅读历史，我们了解到了国家的发展历程。
我们能用眼睛看，用耳朵听。但在一定距离，靠肉眼就难于辨认小的事物，没有传话筒我们就听不见一般的声音。只有通过读书，我们才能知道许多不是我们耳闻目睹的事。而且，关于世界上正在思考和正在做的事情的很多知识，我们只能通过阅读报纸和杂志来获得。
所以，不管我们所受的教育程度多高，也不管我们有多少经验，我们都不可能因此而成为“完人”。除非我们不断地读书。

Happiness Is Your Own Choice
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier — a relative, someone we know a lot, or someone we hardly know. As a result, what we do remember is anything that makes the others happy, anything that makes ourselves unhappy, totally forgetting that there is something happy in our own life.
So the best way to destory happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw. It is the smallest flaw that would make us complain. And it is the complain that leads to us becoming unhappy.
If one chooses to be happy, he will be blessed; if he chooses to be unhappy, he will be cursed. Happiness is just what you think will make you happy.
我们大多数人都喜欢跟我们的亲戚、熟识的朋友或不怎么了解的人进行比较，总认为他们比我们快乐。结果呢，我们确确实实记住了令他人快乐的事，扎扎实实记住了使自己不快乐的事，完完全全忘记了我们自己生活中也有快乐的一面。
所以，毁灭快乐的最好方法是眼睛盯着某物并把注意力集中到最微不足道的缺点上。引起我们抱怨的，就是这些微不足道的缺点;而导致我们不快乐的，正是这些抱怨。
如果你选择快乐，你将得到祝福;如果你选择痛苦，你就会受到诅咒。那么，如果你选择快乐，你就快乐。

You willdo the best and be the happiest only if you stop living by someone else’s standards and start using your unique potential to shine like a light in this world. 你拥有这世上独一无二的天赋。有时我们会觉得：为了更好融入这世界，我们得扮成别人，比如当个称职的妈妈、妻子，或是扮演我们认为人人都会喜欢的形象。然而，无论你多努力，也永远当不了完美的“别人”。只有抛开别人的标准，挖掘自己的潜力，你才能成为最好、最快乐的自己。

在一生中，我们花了许多力气来让别人喜欢我们。而事实上，如果不自爱，别人亦不会爱你。对他人付出的同时，也请记得留一些给自己。花点时间去读书、锻炼吧，或是修指甲、泡个澡……无论哪样，你都值得拥有!
5. You are rich. 你很富有
True wealth comes from within. Of course, money matters but so does the way you spend and treat it.

5 things that make you a rich person and keep this list where you will always see it.

8. You are courageous 你很勇敢
Living a full life means being bold and courageous in order to protect what you stand for and aspire for your biggest dreams.

If you have a *** all child in your life, "Letters from Heaven" is a wonderful new tradition you can start for your family that will last for many generations.
如果你家的孩子现在还很小，那么不妨试试一个名叫“天堂的来信”的新创意，而且还能代代相传。
Susie shared the idea on her Facebook page, including two videos of her 18-year-old daughter, Abby, opening the time capsule for the first time.
Susie在她的脸书上分享了这个创意，并且附有两段视讯，内容是她18岁的女儿第一次开启时间胶囊。
"This week Abby turned 18. For her 1st birthday we asked all our loved ones to write her a letter to be put in a time capsule that would be opened 17 years later. It is the most precious gift we could have ever given to her. Among the 25 letters are 7 letters from people who have passed on. These include letters from her Grandfather Doug, her uncle John Aldershof, great grandparents and more."
“这个星期Abby就要18岁了，从她一岁开始我们就请所有的亲友给她写一封信，然后放在时间胶囊里面，等到17年以后再开启，这是我们能给她的最珍贵的礼物了，在25封信中有7封信的写信人已经离世，包括她的祖父Doug,她的叔叔John,她的曾祖父母等等”
"We cried and laughed all night. Such a blessing to have birthday wishes from everyone. The time capsule was full of great things for her. If you have a *** all child in your life, please share this idea. It was incredible."

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?" The young man replied, "$ for you and $ for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they? Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $. 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." 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. 必读的英文经典美文阅读 Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself 彻底认识自我 In all one's lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of. When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself. It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and stay aloof from worldly wearing a mask of cowardice, behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded. 人生在世，和自己相处最多，打交道最多，但是人最不了解的也恰恰是自己。当你一帆风顺时，往往高估自己;不得志时，又往往低估自己。你可能认为安分守己、与世无争是明智之举，而实际上往往被怯懦的面具窒息了自己鲜活的生命。 To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist-aware of both one's strength and shortage. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 彻悟自己，就是正确认识自己，做一个冷静的现实主义者，既知道自己的优势，也知道自己的不足。我们可以憧憬人生，但不要期望过高。因为在现实中，理想的实现总是会打折扣的。你可以勇敢地迎接挑战，但是必须清楚自己努力的方向。 To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. Whether you liken yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, whether you think you are a high mountain or a *** all stone, you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of existence. If you earnestly admire yourself you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation, which will give you confidence. As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself you'll be enabled to fight and overe any adversity. 要彻悟自己就要欣赏自己。无论你是一棵参天大树，还是一棵无名小草，无论想要成为一座高山，还是一块石头，你都是一种天然，都有自己存在的理由。只要你认真地欣赏自己，你就会拥有一个真正的自我，你才会拥有信心。一旦拥有了信心你就能战胜任何灾难。 To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it's needed. In time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving vent to it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep or taking some tonic. Show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life. Unless you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favor, you won't be confident and ready enough to resist the attack of illness. 要彻悟自己，就要善待自己。在气愤时善待自己，找个僻静之处宣泄一下，不要被那些无名之火伤身;忧伤时，要善待自己，找个好友倾诉一番，让低迷的情绪高涨起来;劳累时，你要善待自己，睡个好觉或者吃点滋补品，对自己的健康和生活关心备至。唯有知道如何善待自己，你才会信心百倍，从容不迫地准备应对疾病的侵袭。 To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of one's life. Then one will find one's life full of color and flavor. 彻悟了自己，你才能把握自己的生命，你的生活才会丰富多彩、有滋有味! 你是什么和你做什么同等重要 必读的英文经典美文学习 The Most Important Body Part 身体最重要的部分 My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer. 从前我母亲经常问我，身体最重要的部位是什么。许多年来，我一直以为自己所想的是正确答案。 When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." 当我很小的时候，我认为对人类而言，声音很重要，因此回答：“妈咪，是耳朵。” She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon." 她说：“不对，有许多人是聋人。但是你继续想，不久我会再问你。” Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." 当她再度问我时，已经是好几年后了。自从第一次回答之后，我就一直仔细的思考正确答案。所以这次我对她说：“妈咪，视觉对每个人都很重要，所以应该是我们的眼睛。” She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." 她看着我，对我说：“你学的很快，但还是不对，因为有许多人是盲人。” Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting *** arter every year, my child." 往后的年日里她又问了我几次，但她总是回答：“不对，可是孩子啊，你每年都有进步喔。” Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?" 去年我祖父去世，每个人都很伤心，大家都哭了。轮到我们向爷爷做最后的告别时，妈妈看着我，问我：“宝贝，你知道身体最重要的部位了吗?” I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder." 她在这时候问我这个问题，令我吓了一大跳。我一直以为这只是我和她之间的游戏。她看我一脸迷惑的样子，对我说：“这问题很重要，它是你真正理解生活的标志。”我看她眼睛里充盈著泪水，她说：“宝贝，最重要的部位是你的肩膀。” I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" 我问：“是因为它能支撑脑袋吗?” She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it." 她回答说：“不，是因为让我们的朋友、我们所爱的人哭泣的时候，它可以给予依靠。宝贝，每个人在一生中都会有需要一个可以靠著哭泣的肩膀的时候。我只是希望当你需要时，会有足够的爱人和朋友，给你一个可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others. 从那时起，我知道身体最重要的部位不是利己的部位，而是对别人的痛苦能感同身受的部位。

Have You Seen the Tree
你见过那棵树吗
My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it."Have you seen the tree?" she asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight.
关于那棵树，最初是我的邻居加根太太告诉我的。“你见过那棵树吗?”她问道，当时我正坐在后院欣赏十月的暮色。
"The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful tree-all kinds of are stopping to look. You ought to see it."
“就是下去拐角处的那棵”她解释说，“漂亮极了—五颜六色的。好多车路过都停下来看，你该去看看。”
I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with petty worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone's house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.
我对她说我会去看的，可转眼就忘记了关于树的事。三天后，我顺着街道慢跑，脑子里充斥着恼人的小事，忽然，一片耀眼的橘红色映入眼帘，有一会儿，我还以为是谁家的房子着火了呢，但我马上想到了那棵树。
As I approached it, I slowed to a walk. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its the messy whirl of an artist's palette, the tree blazed a bright crimson on its lower branches, burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center. and simmered to deep red at its top. Through these fiery colors cascaded thin rivulets of pale-green leaves and blotches of deep-green leaves, as yet untouched by autumn.
我慢慢走近它.就像朝圣者缓缓步向神殿，我发现靠近树梢的地方有几根光秃秃的枝丫，上面黑乎乎的小枝像鹰爪一般伸向天空。枯枝上落下的叶子一片猩红，像地毯似的铺在树干周围。
Edging closer-like a pilgrim approaching a shrine-I noticed several bare branches near the top, their black twigs scratching the air like leaves they had shed lay like a scarlet carpet around the trunk.
当我靠近树时，禁不住放慢了脚步。树的形状并没有什么非凡之处，是一棵中等大小的枫树。但加根太太说得不错，它的色彩确实奇特，像画家调色板中斑斓的颇料，令人眼花缭乱。树底部的枝丫好似一片鲜红的火海，树的中部燃烧着明快的黄色和橘色，顶部的树梢又爆发着深红色。在这火一样的色彩中，流淌着浅绿的叶子汇成的小溪，深绿的叶子斑驳点缀其间，似乎至今末曾受到过秋天的侵袭。
With its varied nations of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light and dark greens, the autumn and winter of the Northern in the blazing yellows and bare branches.
这棵枫树集各种颇色于一体。如果一种颜色就是一个国家，枫树俨然成了一个缤纷的地球，它张开宽大的枝条，历数着四季轮回，容纳着五湖四海。深浅错落的绿叶，昭示着南半球的春夏，耀眼的黄叶和光秃秃的枝丫勾勒出北半球的秋冬。整个星球就围绕这一时空的交集点和谐运转。
As I marveled at this all-encompassing beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's comments about the stars. If the constellations appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.
我为这棵树无所不包的美而惊叹不已。这时,我想起了著名作家拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生有关星星的评论。他在《自然》一书中写道：倘若星座一千年才出现一次，那么，星座的出现是一桩多么激动人心的事;可正因为星座每夜都挂在天上，人们才很少去看上一眼。
I felt the same way about the tree. Because its majesty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.
对于眼前这棵树，我也有同感。它此时的华美只能维持一个星期，所以它对于我们就相当珍贵。可我竟差一点错过了。
Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetts, he tolled a church bell to alert townspeople. That's what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a Paul Revere of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder.
有一次，当埃米莉·迪金森的父亲偶然看见马萨诸塞州上空一道炫目的北极光时，他立刻跑到教堂鸣钟告知所有市民。现在，我也产生了同样的想法，我要向世人宣扬这棵树。我愿成为秋天的信使。让田园乡村每一个角落的人们都了解它的神奇。
I didn't have a church bell or a horse, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but momentous question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: "Have you seen the tree?"
可我没有教堂的大钟，也没有快马，但当我走在回家的路上，我会问遇见的每一位邻居加根太太曾问过我的那个极其简单又极其重要的问题:“你见过那棵树吗?”

Of Study论读书
-By Francis Bacon弗兰西斯·培根
书籍是喂养人类灵魂的粮食，人不吃饭会饿死，那么人的精神缺乏适当的喂养也会饥饿，我想在现代这个速食的社会所缺乏的就是精神食粮的喂养。不断阅读，这样我们才不至于越来越肤浅。
Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.
读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时;其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中;其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然纵观统筹、全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。
They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation Read not to contradict and confute nor to believe and take for granted.
读书补天然之不足， 经验 又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接;而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书，无知者羡读书，唯明智之士用读书，然书并不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.
书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只需读其部分者，有只需大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。

First Snow初雪
初雪来临的时候，有人在漫天飞舞的雪花中欢呼雀跃，恨不能随之飞舞;也有孩童迫不及待地冲出家门，想用初雪堆砌冬天第一个雪人;也有人望着落于手心，慢慢融化的雪花，神情恬淡而飘缈;亲爱的，你是怎样迎接每一场初雪的?
This morning, when I first caught sight of the unfamiliar whitened world, I could not help wishing that we had snow oftener, that English winters were more wintry.
今天早上，当我第一次看见这个陌生的银白色的世界时，我不禁衷心希望这里能够多下几场雪，这样我们英国的冬天才能更增添几分冬天的味道。
How delightful it would be, I thought, to have months of clean snow and a landscape sparkling with frost instead of innumerable grey featureless days of rain and raw winds.
我想，如果我们这里经常是个冰雪积月、霜华璀璨的景象，而不是像现在这种苦雨凄风永无尽期的阴沉而乏特色的日子，那该多么令人喜悦啊!
I began to envy my friends in such places as the Eastern States of America and Canada, who can count upon a solid winter every year and know that the snow will arrive by a certain date and will remain, without degenerating into black slush, until Spring is close at hand. To have snow and frost and yet a clear sunny sky and air as crisp as a biscuit - this seemed to me happiness indeed.
于是我羡慕起那些居住在美国东部各州和加拿大的我的友人们，他们那里年年都能出现一个像样的冬天，都能说得出降雪的确切日期，并能保证，直至大地春回之前，那里的雪绝无退化为黑色泥浆的可能。既有霜雪，又有晴朗温煦的天空，而且空气又非常凉爽清新——这在我看来实在是很大的快乐。
And then I saw that it would never do for us. We should be sick of it in a week. After the first day the magic would be gone and there would be nothing left but the unchanging glare of the day and the bitter cruel nights.
但马上我又觉得这样还是不行。不出一周人们就会对它感到厌烦。第一天后魔力便会消失，剩下的唯有白昼那种永无变化的耀眼阳光与刺骨严寒和凄冷的夜晚。
It is not the snow itself,the sight of the blanketed world, that is so enchanting, but the first coming of the snow, the sudden and silent of the relations, for ever shifting and unanticipated,of wind and water comes a magical event.
让人如此着迷的不是雪的本身，不在这个银装素裹的景象，而是初雪降临时，那突然而宁静的变化。正是从风风雨雨这类变幻无常和难以预期的关系之中才会出现这种以降雪为奇迹的情形。
Who would change this state of things for a steadily recurring round,an earth governed by the calendar? It has been well said that while other countries have a climate, we alone in England have weather. There is nothing duller than climate,which can be converted into a topic only by scientists and hypochondriacs.
谁又肯拿眼前这般景致去换上个永远周而复始的单调局面，一个全由年历来控制的大地?有一句话说的好，别的国家都有气候，唯有英国才有天气。气候是最为枯燥和乏味的，或许只有科学家与疑难杂症患者才会把它当做话题。
But weather is our earth's Cleopatra, and it is not to be wondered at that we, who must share her gigantic moods, should be for ever talking about her. Once we were settled in America, Siberia, Australia, where there is nothing but a steady pact between climate and the calendar,we should regret her very naughtinesses, her willful pranks,her gusts of rage, and sudden tears.
但是天气却是我们这块土地上的克里奥佩特拉，因而毫不奇怪，人们为它巨大情绪变化所左右，总不免要对她窃窃私议。假如一旦我们定居于美洲、西伯利亚与澳大利亚，在那里气候与年历之间早已有成约在先，我们即使仅仅因为失去她的调皮，她任性的恶作剧，她的狂忿盛怒与涕泣涟涟也会深感遗憾。

Summer Afternoon夏日午后
夏日的午后，太阳毫不吝惜的挥洒着热度。炎炎夏日，挥汗如雨，大汗淋漓之后却有着莫名的酣畅淋漓。夏日，就这么真诚的张扬着自己独特的个性，挥洒着灼人的热情。
Summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words. Summer is the glorious time of the year when most of us can put on our shorts and short-sleeved shirts and actually feel the air and sunlight on our skin; when we don't have to turn up the heat in the morning when we get up; but also when we lay hot and sweaty in bed, unable to sleep at times (those of us who don't have air conditioning, anyway); when we get the sunburn and the heatstroke and all those wonderful things.
夏日的下午;对我来说，这几个字一直是英语语言中最美丽的两个字。浪漫夏季，这是一年中最灿烂的季节，我们可以穿上短裤，短袖，尽情地感受着夏日的空气以及撒在皮肤上的阳光;我们不必要在清晨起床后就去打开暖气;当然我们也会满身是汗，燥热地躺在床上，而无法入眠(那些没有空调设施的人们);有了一身夏日晒斑，中暑，这一切都是我们经历着夏日的美妙事情。
All green and fair the summer lies, just budded from the bud of spring, with tender blue of wistful skies, and winds that softly sing. How beautiful the summer night is, which is not night, but a sunless, yet unclouded day,descending upon earth with dews and shadows and refreshing coolness! How beautiful the long mild twilight,which, like a silver clasp, unites today with yesterday!
夏日展现出一片翠绿、美丽的图画，就像春天的蓓蕾刚刚萌芽，湛蓝的令人向往的天空，还有那轻声吟唱的微风。夏日的夜晚也是美丽的，与其称它为夜晚，它其实更像一个阳光照射不到的，晴朗的白昼，它携带清露，阴凉以及一丝丝清爽降落到了地球!这漫长柔和的夏日黎明也是如此美丽，它就像一个银扣，将今天与昨天紧紧地联系在一起!
Summer is a sailor in a rowboat and ice-cream on your dress when you're four years old. Summer is a man with his coat off, wet sand between your toes, the smell of a garden an hour before moonrise. Summer is silk itself, a giant geranium and music from a flute far away!
夏日是一叶小舟上的船夫，是你四岁时不小心沾在裙脚上的冰淇淋;夏日是赤裸着上身的男人，是浸入你脚趾间的湿漉漉的沙子;夏日还是朝阳初升前一小时的那花园里的清香味。夏日就是那丝绸锦缎，那盛开的天竺葵，以及从远方飘来的悠悠长笛声!
No matter how we see it, summer has a magic that we can't deny - all four seasons do.
不管我们如何看待它，夏季总有着那么一种我们无法否认的魔力——每个季节独有的魔力。

In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.

Firemen had been fighting the forest for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control. A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well. When the fire had at last been put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly. The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root. In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

经典的英文文章1
True nobility
真实的高贵
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
在生活和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
我一向认为，内心生活开始更为严谨的人，他的外在生活也会变得更为简朴。在物欲横流的年代，但愿我能向世人表明：人类的真正需求少得多么可怜。
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
反思 自己的过错不至于重蹈覆辙才是真正的悔悟。高人一等并没有什么值得夸耀的。真正的高贵是优于过去的自已。
经典的英文文章2
Be grateful to life
感恩生活
Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much.
美国总统罗斯福的家曾经失窃，财物损失严重。朋友闻此消息，就写信来安慰他，劝他不必把这件事放在心上。
President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”
罗斯福总统很快回信说：“亲爱的朋友，谢谢你来信安慰我，我一切都很好。我想我应该感谢上帝，因为：第一，我损失的只是财物，而人却毫发未损;第二，我只损失了部分财物，而非所有财产;第三，最幸运的是，做小偷的是那个人，而不是我……”
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
对任何人来说，家中失窃绝非幸事。但是，罗斯福总统却能找到三个感恩的理由。这个 故事 告诉我们，生活中，我们应该学会感恩。
Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom. . It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.
感恩是一项重要的处世哲学，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事顺通。对于各种失败和不幸，我们要豁达大度，勇敢地面对，并想办法解决。
We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also
面对困难，我们是懊恼抱怨、沮丧气馁，陷入绝望，还是对生活满怀感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起来呢?英国著名作家威廉·萨克雷说过，“生活是一面镜子，你对它笑，它也会对你笑;你对他哭，它也会对你哭。”
If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.
如果对生活感恩，你的生命将充满灿烂的阳光;如果一味怨恨，终将一无所获。我们成功时，有千万个理由感恩生活，而失败时，只要一个借口就会表现出忘恩负义。
I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.
我想，不论是遭遇失败还是不幸，我们都应该感谢生活。只有这样，失败后，我们才能发现自己的缺点和不足，不幸时，我们还能感受到安慰和温暖。这些就能帮我们找回勇气，战胜困难，并获取前进的强大推动力。我们应像罗斯福总统那样，换一个角度去看待生活中的失败和挫折，永远对生活充满感恩，才能时刻保持健康的心态，积极地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不断进取的精神。感恩不仅仅是一种精神慰藉，也不是对现实的规避，更不是阿Q的精神胜利法。感恩源于我们对生活的热爱和希望，它是我们歌颂生活的一种方式。
When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.
把一小块明矾放入混沌的水中，我们发现，水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一颗感恩的心，就能沉淀许多的浮躁和不安，消融许多的不满和不幸。感恩能让我们的生活变得更加美好。
人生如棋,我愿为卒只进不退。人生如棋,我愿为卒勇往直前。以下是我为大家精心推荐的人生励志经典文章精选3篇，希望能够对您有所帮助。
人生如棋，我为卒，虽能勇往直前，但结局依旧是左右徘徊;人生如棋，我为车，虽能驰骋疆场，但仍跳不出这方寸之地;人生如棋，我为将，虽能指挥千军，但还不过是那笼中之鸟!人生如棋，落子无悔，一招不慎，满盘皆输。相信每一个下棋的人都曾有过这种痛彻深悟的体验：在局势一片大好的情况下，只因一招不慎，错落一子，局势变急转直下，千里之堤，毁于蚁穴。从此处处被动、处处防御。
人生亦是如此，关键时刻如果一步走错，从此步步走错，想回头都不太可能。“一失足成千古恨，再回头已是百年身”这样的事例不胜枚举。要想赢得人生棋局，只有脚踏实地走好每一步，步步为营、稳扎稳打，方能走出无悔的人生之路。
小小棋盘之间，风云变幻。我们既要总揽全局寸土必争，关键时刻又需有壮士断腕、舍城弃地的勇气和魄力;既要随机应变，来应付不断变化的局势，又需要保持固有的原则和立场，不迷失前进的方向;既要随缘而进，建功立业，又需顺势而退，明哲保身。
人生如棋，对手就是我们所处的环境，有的人能预见十几步，乃至几十步，未雨绸缪、后发制人。有的人仅能看到几步之遥，甚至走一步算一步。在与高手对招时，常一步失算，满盘皆输;但是高手下棋，面对残局，却可能峰回路转、柳暗花明。有的人下棋，落子如飞，但是忙中出错;有的人又因开始顾虑重重，导致捉襟见肘、左右逢源。有的人下棋，不到最后关头，决不认输;有些人下棋，稍见情势不妙，就弃子投降。我们要端正态度，勇于直面，努力超越，应该成为真正追求的人生棋局。
棋子越下越少，人生越来越短。但是，不合时宜的落错了棋子，后来就需要加倍苦恼地应付里应外合的局势。但棋子一个个地离局而去，愈是剩的少，便愈得小心翼翼的下。赢，固然漂亮圆满;输，也要落子无悔。人生如棋局，摆得正位置，则成功!反之，则失败!
人生如棋，棋子犹如角色转换的定位，每一枚棋子都有属于自己的位置。平时，我们总是偏爱车、马、炮等杀伤力强的“强盗”，但是我们又轻视兵卒之类的弱子。其实，最终直捣黄龙、克敌制胜的，却往往可能是一个毫不起眼的小卒。正如关键时刻，秤砣四两拨千斤，各有千秋，只是没有放到合适的位置。同样，人们在社会生活中扮演着不同的角色，每个人的角色只有分工不同，而无轻重贵贱之分。因此，千万不要抱怨命运的安排，更不能向命运屈服，只要抱定坚定的信念，在平凡的工作岗位上，同样可以成就一番事业。平凡中一样可以孕育伟大，平凡中一样可以铸就辉煌。
人生如棋，但人生并非像一局棋那么简单。人生没有天生的赢家，我们既要在失败中及时调整自己，又要在遭遇挫折时奋发有为、卧薪尝胆、不懈追求。有一首歌曲唱得好：“不经历风雨，怎么见彩虹?没有人能随随便便成功”。困难和挫折是每个人一生中不可避免的因素，所谓强者就是那些把失败和挫折能转换为前进的动力，然后在奋斗的过程中展现出惊人的毅力和坚韧不拔的意志，最后取得成功的人。在人生中，只要你有积极的心态和坚强的意志，不断地学习和创造有利的环境，那么奋斗战场的舞台也会变成为你展示自我的平台。
亚马逊CEO贝索斯撰写的《善良比聪明更重要》。这篇文章对聪明人来说，是很值得一看的。
我们的人生将为一系列的'选择所填满，正像贝索斯的祖父曾经告诉过他的一样——善良比聪明更难。Enjoy：
在我还是一个孩子的时候，我的夏天总是在德州祖父母的农场中度过。我帮忙修理风车，为牛接种疫苗，也做其它家务。每天下午，我们都会看肥皂剧，尤其是《我们的岁月》。我的祖父母参加了一个房车俱乐部，那是一群驾驶Airstream拖挂型房车的人们，他们结伴遍游美国和加拿大。每隔几个夏天，我也会加入他们。我们把房车挂在祖父的小汽车后面，然后加入300余名Airstream探险者们组成的浩荡队伍。
我爱我的祖父母，我崇敬他们，也真心期盼这些旅程。那是一次我大概十岁时的旅行，我照例坐在后座的长椅上，祖父开着车，祖母坐在他旁边，吸着烟。我讨厌烟味。
在那样的年纪，我会找任何借口做些估测或者小算术。我会计算油耗还有杂货花销等鸡毛蒜皮的小事。我听过一个有关吸烟的广告。我记不得细节了，但是广告大意是说，每吸一口香烟会减少几分钟的寿命，大概是两分钟。无论如何，我决定为祖母做个算术。我估测了祖母每天要吸几支香烟，每支香烟要吸几口等等，然后心满意足地得出了一个合理的数字。接着，我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的头，又拍了拍她的肩膀，然后骄傲地宣称，“每天吸两分钟的烟，你就少活九年!”
我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。我惹麻烦了吗?我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次?还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉?我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。我们在房车旁停下来。祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说：“杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。”
选择比天赋更重要
今天我想对你们说的是，天赋和选择不同。聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。而选择则颇为不易。如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。
在座各位都拥有许多天赋。我确信你们的天赋之一就是拥有精明能干的头脑。之所以如此确信，是因为入学竞争十分激烈，如果你们不能表现出聪明智慧，便没有资格进入这所学校。
你们的聪明才智必定会派上用场，因为你们将在一片充满奇迹的土地上行进。我们人类，尽管跬步前行，却终将令自己大吃一惊。我们能够想方设法制造清洁能源，也能够一个原子一个原子地组装微型机械，使之穿过细胞壁，然后修复细胞。这个月，有一个异常而不可避免的事情发生了——人类终于合成了生命。在未来几年，我们不仅会合成生命，还会按说明书驱动它们。我相信你们甚至会看到我们理解人类的大脑，儒勒·凡尔纳，马克·吐温，伽利略，牛顿——所有那些充满好奇之心的人都希望能够活到现在。作为文明人，我们会拥有如此之多的天赋，就像是坐在我面前的你们，每一个生命个体都拥有许多独特的天赋。
你们要如何运用这些天赋呢?你们会为自己的天赋感到骄傲，还是会为自己的选择感到骄傲?
追随自己内心的热情
16年前，我萌生了创办亚马逊的想法。彼时我面对的现实是互联网使用量以每年2300%的速度增长，我从未看到或听说过任何增长如此快速的东西。创建涵盖几百万种书籍的网上书店的想法令我兴奋异常，因为这个东西在物理世界里根本无法存在。那时我刚刚30岁，结婚才一年。
我告诉妻子MacKenzie想辞去工作，然后去做这件疯狂的事情，很可能会失败，因为大部分创业公司都是如此，而且我不确定那之后会发生什么。MacKenzie告诉我，我应该放手一搏。在我还是一个男孩儿的时候，我是车库发明家。我曾用水泥填充的轮胎、雨伞和锡箔以及报警器制作了一个自动关门器。我一直想做一个发明家，MacKenzie支持我追随内心的热情。
我当时在纽约一家金融公司工作，同事是一群非常聪明的人，我的老板也很有智慧，我很羡慕他。我告诉我的老板我想开办一家在网上卖书的公司。他带我在中央公园漫步良久，认真地听我讲完，最后说：“听起来真是一个很好的主意，但是对那些目前没有谋到一份好工作的人来说，这个主意会更好。”
这一逻辑对我而言颇有道理，他说服我在最终作出决定之前再考虑48小时。那样想来，这个决定确实很艰难，但是最终，我决定拼一次。我认为自己不会为尝试过后的失败而遗憾，倒是有所决定但完全不付诸行动会一直煎熬着我。在深思熟虑之后，我选择了那条不安全的道路，去追随我内心的热情。我为那个决定感到骄傲。
明天，非常现实地说，你们从零塑造自己人生的时代即将开启。
你们会如何运用自己的天赋?你们又会作出怎样的抉择?
你们是被惯性所引导，还是追随自己内心的热情?
你们会墨守陈规，还是勇于创新?
你们会选择安逸的生活，还是选择一个奉献与冒险的人生?
你们会屈从于批评，还是会坚守信念?
你们会掩饰错误，还是会坦诚道歉?
你们会因害怕拒绝而掩饰内心，还是会在面对爱情时勇往直前?
你们想要波澜不惊，还是想要搏击风浪?
你们会在严峻的现实之下选择放弃，还是会义无反顾地前行?
你们要做愤世嫉俗者，还是踏实的建设者?
你们要不计一切代价地展示聪明，还是选择善良?
我要做一个预测：在你们80岁时某个追忆往昔的时刻，只有你一个人静静对内心诉说着你的人生故事，其中最为充实、最有意义的那段讲述，会被你们作出的一系列决定所填满。最后，是选择塑造了我们的人生。为你自己塑造一个伟大的人生故事。
谢谢，祝你们好运!

经典文章500字左右，在我们的生活中对于经典的句子大家应该都有了解过不少，其实很多时候简单的一个句子也承载了一段美好的回忆，以下分享经典文章500字左右。
已经几天没有见面了，我知道你过的不错，可是你知道我过的怎样吗？也许你知道，但也只是也许而已。你可能知道我的难过，我的伤心，但我想你不会知道我的心其实被你镂空了！
几天吃不进饭不算什么，全当减肥好了；眼哭肿了不算什么，全当洗眼好了；可怕的是每当一觉醒来，想到你已不再在我的世界，想到生命中不再有你，就很恐慌，很痛心，不敢相信。
不去看你的照片，怕看了会更伤心，然而不去看就不痛了吗？你的身影，你的模样时刻在我脑海里显现；你的声音，你的笑容时刻在我空空的心中回荡。不敢相信本还和我有说有笑，对我绝对有感情的你，眨眼就不告而别了。若换换角色，你会相信吗？你能接受吗？
我知道这不是什么永别，只是暂别，我更知道我不会让这成为永别，然而没有你的这几天，我终于明白“我不怕你不爱我，我怕没有你的日子，空空的心”这句话的含义了。一直以来你都让我捉摸不透，我知道4000多天的感情，你的心里多少都会有我的，然而有多少呢？我不知道，想知道但又不敢知道。
我只是很清楚曾经是我生命全部的你的离去，让我的心空成了镂空的一颗心，就想你送我的项链一样。那是一条很独特的链子，我很珍爱一直放的很好。你走的那天我拿了出来，带在了脖子上，我祈求它能给我带来安慰。然而就在刚刚我才注意到那个坠子是一颗镂空的心！
你用一颗镂空的心，把我的心也镂空了！——好好笑！不是吗？
然而我记得你的口头禅是“世界上发生的都是不可能的事”，一个人的心是可能被世事掏空的，所以我相信我的心没有空。我相信你只是为了我们的将来而暂时离去，你终有一天会回到我身边的！
500字优美散文精选篇一：成长的道路
成长的道路，是坎坷的，也是平坦的。坎坷在许多事情需要你去努力，平坦在亲朋好友都会给你一定的帮助。成长的道路是单调的，也是多彩的。单调在大部分时间都在学习，多彩在还是有时间去完成自己的事情。成长的道路是枯燥无味的，也是有滋有味的。枯燥无味在要做许多不愿意做的事，有滋有味在父母不在时，提心吊胆地做自己愿意做的事。
在成长时的第一颗启明星是妈妈，是妈妈把我带到这个陌生的世界，帮我熟悉它;是妈妈教会了我走路，让我利用双脚去找乐趣;是妈妈教会了我说话，让我能更好地表达我的想法;是妈妈教会了我识字，让我发现文字的历史;是妈妈教会了我读书，让我发现中国的历史是多么源远流长，是多么有趣。
第二颗启明星是我的启蒙老师，是老师将我带进知识的海洋，让我明白学习的乐趣;将我带进书的河流，让我明白读书是一件趣事;将我带进同学的小溪里，让我获得了纯真的友谊。
成长的道路上难免会跌跌撞撞。上个星期三，我们学校艺术节的手工制作比赛，我们辛辛苦苦制作的工艺品，却只拿了二等奖。但是我们不泄气，我们继续努力，争取在明年的这个时候，取得一等奖，为班级增添荣誉。
成长的道路上让我们一起努力吧。
500字优美散文精选篇二：为友情而喝彩
人总会长大，长大后就会有很多的朋友，这是可以肯定的，有人说友情像雪花，虽然冰凉，但是它会慢慢的变热。
友情似水，淡如清泉，平凡的生活中，我们么么携手走过平色的年少，没有波澜起伏，亦不曾惊天动地，当时光子按带走青葱的岁月，却冲不但我们彼此的友谊，那是我们共同真爱的宝贝。
友情是个很大的玻璃球，一天友情的`玻璃球碎了，碎片看上去很危险，但是有一个人捡起了一片友情的碎片，碎片不但没有伤害这个人，这个人还感觉很温暖，这是人们才意识到友情是温暖的，人们捡起了一个个的小碎片，因为感觉到温暖，小碎片开始聚集起来了，友情的玻璃球在不同的地方一次又一次地反复着同样的事!
多年前，英国《泰晤士报》出了一个题目，公开征求答案，题目是：从伦敦到罗马，最短的道路是什么?很多人从地理位置上找答案，但是都落选了，只有一个答案获奖：那就是“一个好朋友”。有一个好友相伴，沿途说说笑笑，不仅不会嫌路长，甚至还会叹说此路太短!
我们就像是台座上的台球，本来距离很远，却被白色母球击中其中一个，于是你和我碰撞在一起。然而，我们被另一根球杆基础的母球再次大众，各自掉进了该进入的球网。只是球面已有碰撞过的痕迹，再也麽不掉的痕迹!
经典美文摘抄300字（一）
《红岩》
你知道我那时的痛苦心情，你知道我写小说，而且你自己也受了我的影响动手写起来你的自传式的小说来，你知道我从没有一个时候完全绝望，我从没有一个时候失去我的对光明的信仰。
心啊，不要只是这样的痛罢，给我以片刻的安静，纵然是片刻的安静，也可以安舒我的疲倦和心灵。
我要力量，我要力量来继续奋斗。现在不到撒手放弃一切的时候。我还有眼泪、还有血。让我活下去罢，不是为了生活，是为了工作。
不要让雾迷住我的眼睛，我的路是不会走错的。我为了它而生活，而且我要继续走我的路。
心啊，不要痛了。给我以力量，给我以力量来战胜一切困难，使我站起来，永远站起来……
一个人对自己是没有欺、没有宽恕的。让我再来打开我的灵魂的一隅罢。在夜里，我常常躺在床上不能够闭上眼睛，没有别的声音和景象来打扰我。一切人世的荣辱、毁誉都远远地消失了。那时候我就来做我自己的裁判官，严励地批判我的过去的生活。
经典美文摘抄300字（二）
张爱玲《秋雨》
雨，像银灰色黏湿的蛛丝，织成一片轻柔的网，网住了整个秋的世界。天地是暗沉沉的，像古老的住宅里缠满着蛛丝网的屋顶。那堆在天上的灰白色的云片，就像屋顶上剥落的白粉。在这古旧的屋顶的笼罩下，一切都是异常的沉闷。园子里绿翳翳的石榴、桑树、葡萄藤，都不过代表着过去盛夏的繁荣，现在已成了【古罗马】建筑的遗迹一样，在萧萧的雨声中瑟缩不宁，回忆着光荣的过去。
草色已经转入了忧郁的苍黄，地下找不出一点新鲜的花朵；宿舍墙外一带种的娇嫩的洋水仙，垂了头，含着满眼的泪珠，在那里叹息它们的薄命，才过了两天的晴美的好日子又遇到这样霉气薰蒸的雨天。只有墙角的桂花，枝头已经缀着几个黄金一样宝贵的嫩蕊，小心地隐藏在绿油油椭圆形的叶瓣下，透露出一点新生命萌芽的希望。
经典美文摘抄300字（三）
张晓风《初雪》
现在，太阳升上来，雾渐渐散去，原野上一片渥绿，看起来绵软软地，让我觉得即使我不小心，从这山上摔了下去，也不会擦伤一块皮的，顶多被弹两下，沾上一袜子洗不掉的绿罢了。还有那条绕着山脚的小河，也泛出绿色，那是另外一种绿，明晃晃的，像是搀了油似的，至于山，仍是绿色，却是一堆浓郁郁的黛绿，让人觉得，无论从哪里下手，都不能拔开一道缝儿的，让人觉得，即使刨开它两层下来，它的绿仍然不会减色的。
此外，我的纱窗也是绿的，极浅极浅的绿，被太阳一照，当真就像古美人的纱裙一样飘缈了。你们想，我在这样一个染满了绿意的早晨和你们写信，我的心里又焉能不充溢着生气勃勃的绿呢？

1、心安，幸福
秋雨丝丝洒枝头，烟缕织成愁，遥望落花满地残红，曾也枝头盈盈娉婷，装饰他人梦。如今花落簌簌，曾绚烂完美刹那芳华。看那花瓣上的珍珠，不甚清风的摆动，悄然滑落，那不舍的是离愁，尘缘已过，聚散匆匆。不需忧伤，花儿，不会因为离枝而失去芬芳；草儿，不会因为寒冬而放下生的期望。今年花胜去年红，明年花更好，花开最美，不负这红尘人间。
细数走过的岁月，欢乐伴着忧伤。在时光的深处中，最美的永远艳丽多彩不褪色，那些伤痛，时间久了也就模糊不清，留下的记忆也是残缺碎片。遇到不满意时，总会拿过去的好作比较，留恋过去，厌恶此刻，始不知过去也是此刻，此刻也会过去。行走红尘人间，做个随遇而安的草木女子，让清风拂袖，心香暖怀。生命的旅途，总会有千回百转，悲喜寒凉，季节的辗转，绮丽的风景。若是懂得，这都是生活赋予的完美。有些人，有些事，也许进了你的眼，滑过你的心，又悄然的溜走了，也许只为相遇，留一道风景。把路途的美景丰盈心灵，化一道属于自己的风情。
2、人生如戏
人生如戏，我们上演着悲欢离合，试过欢声笑语，也试过痛哭流涕；人生如戏，我们经历过顺境逆境，尝过成功的甜，也尝过失败的苦。当中的滋味，只有身处其中的自己才能彻底体会。别人可能会以为我们表演得太夸张，其实那都是我们最真实的反应。
人生如戏，总会在我们不经意的时候埋下伏笔，等着某一天让我们恍然大悟。也许有人能够洞察先机，能够逢凶化吉；也许有人是有幸运加持，能够安然度过；也许有人过于迟钝，只能黯然叹息了。
人生如戏，我们以为能够改变自己的命运，却没想到我们的结局早已注定。无论怎样做都摆脱不了戏里既定的安排，可谓殊途同归。如此看来，我们的拼搏和挣扎就像小丑在跳舞，徒惹人发笑罢了。
人生如戏，无论观众对这出戏有任何的意见，在戏里的我们永远都听不见，只能按照安排表演着我们的人生。就算观众为我们叫好，我们也不会因此高兴；就算观众为我们喝倒彩，我们也不会因此沮丧。因为这出戏是属于我们自己的戏，好与坏就应由我们自己来做评判。
3、无缘，强求亦徒劳
有些东西，你能够争取，却不必须能够拥有，你能够留恋，却不必须能够留住。若有缘，不求也拥有，若无缘，强求亦徒劳。不属于你的，还是放手释怀，莫再留恋强求。
有时候，无论你多么用力十指紧扣，有些东西都会从你的指缝间溜走。不管你多么想要挽留，也只能眼睁睁地看着最后手心变得空荡荡的。也许你会想要重新争取，下定决心必须要再次拥有，却再也没有机会;也许你会想要寻找替代品，但是只要你一天没有放下从前，就算有更好的替代品，你也不会快乐。
世间万物的因果循环都和缘有着奇妙的'关系，人也会受到缘的影响。缘的到来会为你种下因，你可能会遇见一个让你欣赏的人，可能会拥有一件你想要的东西，但是当缘离去的时候，不管你之前多么珍惜，人还是会离开，东西还是会失去。在感情里，有多少爱侣败给了缘分，纵使情深，奈何缘浅。
你无法左右缘分，就只能看淡，任由它来自自如。尤其是当你应对失去的时候，你该明白不属于你的终有一天会离去，那就好好地安慰自己，让自己早日释怀。你并非失去了所有，还拥有着许多，只是你只看重已经失去的，不曾真正珍惜过其他握在手心的东西。有一天，你曾有过的伤感和失望都会淡去，在这一天到来之前，你就要看淡得失，等待时间淡化过往留下的伤，而不是始终沉溺在悲伤的苦海里不可自拔。即使如此，你也无法追回已经不在你手心的东西了。
无缘，强求亦徒劳。你想要拥有的并非必须能被你抓住，抓不住的就让它离开，把还能抓住的牢牢握在手心。别停留在过往，强求已经离去的东西，当下还有很多值得你去追求的东西，未来还有很多精彩等着你去经历。
