希望能够帮助到大家。

短篇英语美文 篇1

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies

grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious

food. Likewi, we should keep learning day by day to maintain

our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.

Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving

us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.

Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times

in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in

times of uncertainty.

Once learning stops, vegetation ts in. It is a common fallacy

to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of

knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending

process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever

changing so fast, the cea from learning for just a few days will

make a person lag behind. What's wor, the animalistic instinct

dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life,

weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our

determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and

strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of

learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even

wor, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we

have to take learning as a lifelong career.

学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，

我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不

断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断

的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和

判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的

方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的

唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，

从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人

落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的本能就会复活，削弱我们

追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们

净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至

更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作

一生的事业。

短篇英语美文 篇2

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high

school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need

to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into

healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more

time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives

them physical exerci, and also exerci their imagination.

Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure

put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cau

rious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do

繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对

身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的

课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。

短篇英语美文 篇3

Lost time is never found again. This is something which I

learned very clearly last mester. I spent so much time fooling

around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that

something had to be done. It was time for a change.

Now I have a new plan for using my time wily. I have t

my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start

on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and

when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some

ideas on how to reorganize my time.

时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时

间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有

所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。

现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，

这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些

事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时

间。

短篇英语美文 篇4

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it

and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest

when you are richest. The faultfinder will find faults in paradi.

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant,

thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhou.

The tting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-

hou as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts

before its door as early in the spring. I do not e but a quiet

mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering

thoughts, as in a palace. The town's poor em to me often to

live the most independent lives of any. May be they are simply

great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they

are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that

they are not above supporting themlves by dishonest means.

Which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a

garden herb, like sage.

Do not trouble yourlf much to get new things, whether

clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to them. Things do not

change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

译文：

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用

恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱

找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫

穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。

夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那

门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在

皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我

看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很大，所以受之

无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实

上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，

毋宁是不体面的。

视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无

论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万

物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

短篇英语美文 篇5

Greta always said, "dear, keep walking in sunshine!" no

matter how terrible my day started, i always felt sunny walking

home from greta’s hou-even beneath the winter starlight.葛

丽塔总是这样说：“亲爱的，请走在阳光里！”无论我过的每一天是

如何糟糕地开始，从葛丽塔的小屋出来走回家的时候，即使是披着冬

夜的星光，我都会感觉心情愉悦。

I arrived at greta’s hou today just after sunt. an

ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, it’s red lights

flashing. when i ran into the old hou, greta recognized me right

away.这天，我在傍晚后来到了葛丽塔的`家。一辆救护停在她家门口

附近，红色的灯在闪烁不停。当我冲进她家的老房子，葛丽塔立刻认

出了我。

She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes.

she was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly

touched my arm. her last words to me were "dear, keep walking

in sunshine!"她对我微笑，一双令人难忘的蓝眼睛闪烁着光芒。当她

艰难地走出来，温柔地抚摸着我的胳膊的时候，她几乎已经奄奄一息。

她对我说的最后一句话是：“亲爱的，记得一直要走在阳光下。”

短篇英语美文 篇6

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's

heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of

what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your

heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it

receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power

from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄

灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，

有一座无线电台，它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、

希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。

An individual human existence should be like a river—small

at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing

passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the

river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly,

and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged

in the a, and painlessly lo their individual being.

人的生命应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的限制而十分狭

窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随

之向两边隐去，最后水流平缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这

样毫无痛苦地消失了。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage

over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of

often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of

grows old merely by a number of grow

old by derting our ideals.青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概

和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青

年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是不思

进取的结果。

Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm

wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, lf-distrust bows the heart and

turns the spirit back to dust.

光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下

皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。

短篇英语美文 篇7

Youth

By Samuel Ullman

Youth is not a time of life; itis a state of mind; it is not a matter

of rosy cheeks, red lips and suppleknees; it is a matter of the will,

a quality of the imagination, a vigor of theemotions; it is the

freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamentalpredominance of courage

over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over thelove of ea.

This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.

Nobodygrows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by

derting our ideals.

Yearsmay wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm

wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,lf-distrust bows the heart and

turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is inevery human being’s heart the

lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’snext and the

joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and myheart,

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 areyoung.

When your aerials are down, andyour spirit is covered with

snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, thenyou’ve grown

old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catchwaves

of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

译文：

青春

青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深

沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十

后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，

方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶

恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱

惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人

间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华

常存。

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而

生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信

号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

短篇英语美文 篇8

Ah, beautiful Paris. For centuries this city has attracted the

admiration of the world. The allure and charm of Paris captivate

all who visit there.

Where can you discover the charm of Paris for yourIf. Is it

in the legacy of all the French rulers who worked to beautify their

beloved city? Is it in the famous castles, palaces, statues and

monuments? Can you it in the world-class muums, such as the

Louvre? Perhaps Paris' allure lies in the zest and style of the

Parisians.

When you visit Paris, you don't have to spend all of your time

visiting muums and monuments. They are certainly worthy of

your time, but ignore them for a day. First take some time to look

around and experience life in Paris. You'll find it charming.

Take a stroll along the Seine River. Brow through the art

vendors colorful paintings. Peek through delicate iron gates at

the well kept gardens. Watch cloly for the French attention to

detail that has made France synonymous with good taste. You

will e it in the design of a doorway or arch and in the little

fountains and quaint balconies. No matter where you look,you

will find everyday objects transformed into works by art.

Spend some time in a quiet park relaxing on an oid bench.

Lie on your back on the green grass. When you need refreshment,

try coffee and pastries at a sidewalk cafe. Strike up a conversation

with a Parisian. This isn't always easy, though. With such a large

international population living in Paris, true natives are hard to

find the days.

As evening comes to Paris, enchantment ris with the mist

over the riverfront. You may hear music from an outdoor concert

nearby classical, jazz, opera or chansons, tho French folk songs.

Parisians love their music. The starry sky is their auditorium. You

can also hear concerts in the chateaux and cathedrals. In Paris the

Music never ends.

Don't miss the highlight of Paris evening: eating out.

Parisians are proud of their cuisine. And rightly so; it's world

famous. Gourmet dining is one of the indispensable joys ofliving.

You need a special guidebook to help you choo one of the

hundreds of excellent restaurants. The capital of France boasts

every regional specialty, chee and wine the country has to offer.

If you don't know what to order, ask for the suggested menu. The

chef likes to showca his best dishes there. Remember, you

haven't tasted the true flavor ofF
