经典英语文章篇1：Burning Your Soul Candle

I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room.

They’re meant for romantic dinners and special occasions, but

since the arrival of our three children they have lain unnoticed

among the napkins and other things. They are waiting to be

taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will take

the time to bask in their brilliance.

Are not our souls like tho candles, patiently waiting for

someone to come and let us be ourlves? We are all waiting for

our own moments to shine; we each have a special light,

unmatched by any other.

Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but

our esnce lies in our minds and souls. Candles are unique in

their colors, shapes and designs. Our life histories and

experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but our minds are

like candle wicks, and make our passions flame. Unlike the

candles in my drawer, who get ud or not ud depending on

my whims, we control our own thoughts, and how brightly we

will burn or dimly we will shine.

Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of

passion and direction? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or

rentment? Make a choice to let yourlf shine the way you were

meant to shine.

翻译：点亮心灵的蜡烛

在我餐厅的抽屉里放着几根蜡烛。它们会用于浪漫的晚餐和一些特殊的场合，但是自从我的三个孩子出生之后，它们便被遗忘在餐巾纸和其他杂物之间了。它们一直在等待着被拿出抽屉，被点亮，以和任何一个愿意花费时间去感受它们温暖的人分享那些光亮。

我们的灵魂不也像蜡烛么?耐心地等待有人来发掘我们，让我们发光发亮。我们一直等待着发光发亮的一刻;我们都有自己独特的光亮，是别人所不能匹及的。

蜡烛由蜡状物和蜡烛心组合而成;人类有肉体，而我们的本质却存在于精神和灵魂中。蜡烛有它们独一无二的颜色、形状和图案。我们生命的历史和经历是决定我们是谁的大背景，但是只有我们的心灵才是蜡烛心，使热情形成火焰。与在抽屉里等着别人一时的兴致来决定是否被点燃的蜡烛不同，我们可以决定自己的思想，决定自己能够发光发亮还是黯淡无光。

你心中的那支蜡烛是否因环境或者缺少激情，没有方向感而黯淡无光?它是否藏匿于压力、担忧和怨恨的抽屉里?做出选择吧，以自己注定的方式去发光。

经典英语文章篇2：A Better Tomorrow

People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble

to prerve millions of books, documents and records.

Why do we have libraries? What good are the documents

and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of

men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events

during wars?

We do it becau, sometimes, the voice of experience can

cau us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when

understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and

what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must

ek its origins in human experience and in the records of human

history.

From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women,

we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering,

the lf-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in

the past. The records can help us when we are confud and

when we really need peace.

The main purpo of history is to create a better world.

History gives a warning to tho who promote war, and

inspiration to tho who ek peace.

In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep

us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of

mosaic4 asmbled5 by historians come the great murals6 which

reprent the progress of mankind.

翻译：一个更好的明天

英语励志短文人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。

我们为什么要有图书馆呢?这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢?

我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和平,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。

从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。

历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。

简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载可以使我们避免重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的伟大壁画。

经典英语文章篇3：Never Too Late

The first day of school our professor introduced a little old

lady to us.

"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later.

She jokingly replied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband, get

married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel."

"No riously," I asked. I was curious what may have

motivatedher to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always

dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting

one!" she told me.

We became instant friends. Every day for the next three

months we would leave class together and tolk nonstop. I was

always listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom

and experience with me.

At the end of the mester we invited Ro to make a speech

to our football team. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she

began to deliverher prepared speech, she dropped her note card

on the floor. A little embarrasd she simply said, "I'm sorry. This

whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let

me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her

throat and began:" We do not stop playing becau we are old;

we grow old becau we stop playing. There are only four crets

to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have

to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream.

When you lo your dreams, you die. We have so many people

walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a

huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you

are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't

do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. Anybody

can grow older. That doesn't take any talentor ability. The idea is

to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no

regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did,

but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear

death are tho with regrets."

At the year's end Ro finished the college degree. One week

after graduation Ro died peacefully in her sleep. Over two

thousand college students attended her funeral to honorthe

wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late

to be all you can possibly be.

翻译：梦想终有成真时

开学第一天，教授把一位小个子老太太介绍给了我们。

随后我问道，“你为什么这么“年轻”还来读大学?”她开玩笑地回答：“我来这儿是为了认识一个有钱的丈夫，结婚，生几个孩子，然后退休去旅行。”

“不，认真点儿。”我问道。我很好奇，到底是什么东西让她在这个年纪还要接受这样一个挑战。“我一直梦想着上大学，现在我就在读大学!”她告诉我。

我们马上成了朋友。在随后的三个月里，我们每天一起离开教室，不停地交谈。我总是和历经了岁月沧桑的她一起分享她的智慧和经验。

期末的时候，我们邀请罗斯给我们的橄榄球队讲话。我永远都不会忘记她教给我们的东西。就在她要开始进行她事先准备好的演讲时，她把写了要点的卡片掉在了地上。她有点儿尴尬，但只是说，“对不起。这酒可真要命!我没办法再准备好我的讲稿了，就让我把我知道的东西告诉你们吧。”我们笑了起来，她清了清嗓子，开始演讲：“我们并不是因为年老就不再玩耍;我们变老是因为我们不再玩耍。只有四个秘密可以让你保持年轻，快乐，获得成功。你必须每天都开怀大笑，寻找幽默。你必须有一个梦想。失去了梦想，你就会虽生犹死。我们周围有很多人，他们已经‘死了’，自己却不知道。成长和长大之间有着巨大的差距。如果你现在19岁，躺在床上整整一年什么都不做，你也还会变成20岁。每一个人都会长大，这不需要任何天赋和能力。要不断地在变化中寻找机遇，这样才是成长。

不要留有遗憾。老年人通常不会为做过的事遗憾，而是为还没有

做过的事情感到遗憾。只有那些有遗憾的人才会怕死。”

年底的时候，罗斯获得了大学学位。毕业一星期后，她在梦中安详地离开了人世。两千多名大学生参加了她的葬礼，来纪念这位通过自己的亲身经历来告诉我们永远都可以成就自己的理想的了不起的老人。
