玛丽把听不见的耳朵遮起来,假装用好的耳朵来做听力测试。她知道老师通常会说些“天空是蓝色的”、“你鞋子是什么颜色的呢”之类的话。但是那天却没有。那天莱纳德对着玛丽说出的几个字犹如神灵一般,彻底改变了她的一生。在“轻言细语”听力测试中,玛丽听见的那句话就是:我希望你是我的乖女儿。
Recently, I heard a touching story which illustrates the power that words have to change a life -- a power that lies right in the hands of those reading this article. Mary had grown up knowing that she was different from the other kids, and she hated it. She was born with a cleft palate and had to bear the jokes and stares of cruel children who teased her non-stop about her misshaped lip, crooked nose, and garbled speech. With all the teasing, Mary grew up hating the fact that she was "different". She was convinced that no one, outside her family, could ever love her ... until she entered Mrs. Leonard’s class.
Mrs. Leonard had a warm smile, a round face, and shiny brown hair. While everyone in her class liked her, Mary came to love Mrs. Leonard. In the 1950’s, it was common for teachers to give their children an annual hearing test. However, in Mary’s case, in addition to her cleft palate, she was barely able to hear out of one ear. Determined not to let the other children have another "difference" to point out, she would cheat on the test each year. The "whisper test" was given by having a child walk to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and then repeat something which the teacher whispered. Mary turned her bad ear towards her teacher and pretended to cover her good ear. She knew that teachers would often say things like, "The sky is blue," or "What color are your shoes?" But not on that day. Surely, God put seven words in Mrs. Leonard’s mouth that changed Mary’s life forever. When the "Whisper test" came, Mary heard the words: "I wish you were my little girl."
Dads, I wish there was some way that I could communicate to you the incredible blessing which affirming words impart to children. I wish, too, that you could sit in my office, when I counsel, and hear the terrible damage that individuals received from not hearing affirming words--particularly affirming words from a father. While words from a godly teacher can melt a heart, words from a father can powerfully set the course of a life.
If affirming words were something rarely spoken in your home growing up, let me give you some tips on words and phrases that can brighten your own child’s eyes and life. These words are easy to say to any child who comes into your life. I’m proud of you, Way to go, Bingo ... you did it, Magnificent, I knew you could do it, What a good helper, You’re very special to me, I trust you, What a treasure, Hurray for you, Beautiful work, You’re a real trooper, Well done, That’s so creative, You make my day, You’re a joy, Give me a big hug, You’re such a good listener, You figured it out, I love you, You’re so responsible, You remembered, You’re the best, You sure tried hard, I’ve got to hand it to you, I couldn’t be prouder of you, You light up my day, I’m praying for you, You’re wonderful, I’m behind you, You’re so kind to your (brother/sister), You’re God’s special gift, I’m here for you

这个忙碌的社会盛行抄袭、复制,这看似最便捷的方法加快了我们的工作“效率”和行动步伐。就连个人生活也不例外,我们习惯了从他人失败或成功的经历上收获经验,祈求少走些弯路。
我们都有过这样的经历,我们的选择都没有遵照自己最感兴趣的角度出发,但却无计可施。表面上每件事情都还不错,但是内心里却翻江倒海不能平静,但同时用别的借口搪塞自己,告诫自己别去犯傻了。
然而,没有人知道哪条是正道,变或不变,只有你自己才知道原因和答案。
“Choosing is the byname of freedom. 自由别名乃选择。”
内心的需求与选择比众人习以为常的选择更趋合理。别说你没有机会或运气不够,你现在有的是热情,缺的是信念而已,冒一点点险,作些细微的改变。机会是你迈出的第一步,而运气,是后来的事情。

My Mother Is My Life Line
© Jessica styles
My mother is my lifeline, she is my complete savior,
She does everything she can for me, and for that I praise her,
She went without when I was younger so I could have nice stuff,
She worked herself to the bone, but never did she give up.
My mother is my lifeline, she is truly my best friend,
she help me through the good and bad, she stayed there till the end,
she pick me up when I was down and wiped the tears away,
she will be there when I need her every night and everyday.
My mother is my lifeline, she's completely a shining star,
she has never made me feel alone, no distance is too far,
she’ll travel to the moon and back, if I ask her to.
My mother is my lifeline, this poem I wrote for you.
《My mother is my lifeline母亲是我的生命线》献给母亲的诗歌,作者以此表达对母亲的爱,以及母亲之于作者的意义,

I had rather believe all the fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a mind. And therefore, God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringelh men's minds about to religion: for while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further: but when it beholdeth the chain of them, confederate and linked together, it must needs fly to providence, and deity. Nay, even mat school which is most accused of atheism, doth most demonstrate religion; that is, the school of Leucippus, and Democritus, and Epicurus.
我宁愿相信《金传》,《塔尔木经》及可兰经中的一切寓言,而不愿相信这宇宙底体构是没有一个主宰的精神的。同此,上帝从没有创造奇迹以服无神论,因为神所造的日常的一切就足以驳倒无神论了。一点点儿哲学使人倾向于无神论,这是真的;但是深究哲理,使人心又转回到宗教去.因为当一个人底精神专注意许多不相联贯的次因的时候,那精神也许有时会停留在这些次因之中而不再前进;但是当它看见那一串的次因相连相系的时候,它就不能不飞向天与神了。不特此也,就是那最以无神论见诟的哲学学派(即莱欧西帕斯,德谟克瑞塔斯,埃辟寇拉斯一派)也最为证实宗教
For it is a thousand times more credible, that four mutable elements, and one immutable fifth essence, duly and eternally placed, needs no God, than mat an army of infinite small proportions, or seeds unplaced, should have produced this order, and beauty, without a divine marshal.
因为主张这宇宙万物底秩序与美是不经一位神圣的领袖之主持而由四种可变易的原素和一种不可变易的第五原素,适如其分而永久如此地安排的,造成的,这种学说较之那主张这宇宙万物底秩序与美是全仗着一大群无限小,无定位的原子之说,其可信当在千倍也。
The scripture saith; The fool hath said in his heart, mere is no God: it is not said; The fool hath thought in his heart: so as, he rather saith it by rote to himself, as that he would have, than (hat he can thoroughly believe it, or be persuaded of it For none deny there is a God, but those, for whom it maketh that there were no God. It appeareth in nothing more, mat atheism is radher in die lip, man in die heart of man, man by this; dial atheists will ever be talking of that their opinion, as if they fainted in it, within themselves, and would be glad to be strengthened, by me consent of others: nay more, you shall have atheists strive to get disciples, as it faredh with other sects: and, which is most of all, you shall have of mem, mat will suffer for adieism, and not recant; whereas, if they did truly think, mat mere were no such dung as God, why should diey trouble themselves? Epicurus is charged, that he did but dissemble, for his credit's sake, when he affirmed, there were blessed natures, but such as enjoyed themselves, without having respect to the government of the world.
圣经》上说:“愚顽人心里说没有神”但是并不曾说:“愚顽人心里想”;其意思就是这话是愚顽的人从着习惯给自己说了,以为是他愿意相信的,而并不是他能够完完全全地相信的。因为除了那些主张无神可以于自己有利的人们之外,没有人否认神底存在的。无神论者总在谈论他们底主张,好象他们自己心中觉得不甚妥实而乐意有别人底赞同来扶助自己似的,由此最可见无神论是口头上的而不是心里的。不特此也,谁都看得见无神论者努力吸收信徒,和别的宗教派别一样。并且,最要者,你还可以看见他们之中有些宁愿为无神论受刑而不愿反悔;然而如果他们真相信没有神这样东西,为什么他们要给自己找苦恼呢?埃辟寇拉斯曾说神明是有的,不过他们是逍遥自在,不问世事的。以此见责于世,以为他说这话的时候不过为了他底名誉的缘故而作伪罢了。
Wherein, they say, he did temporise; though in secret, he thought, there was no God. But certainly, he is traduced; for his words are noble and divine: non deos vulgi negare profanum, sed vulgi opines diis applicare prcfanum.
人说他这话旨在骑墙;其实他心底里以为是没有神的。但是,无疑地,他这是受诽谤了,他底话是高贵而且虔诚的。“渎神之举不在否认世俗所谓的神灵,而在以世俗之见加之于神灵”。
Plato could have said no more. And although he had the confidence to deny the administration, he had not the power todeny the nature. The Indians of the West have names for their particular gods, though they have no name for God: as if the heathens should have had the names Jupiter, Apollo, Mars, &c., but not the word deus: which shows, that even those barbarous people have the notion, though they have not the latitude, and extent of it So that against atheists, the very savages take part, with the very subtlest philosophers. The contemplative atheist is rare; a Diagoras, a Bion, a Lucian perhaps, and some others; and yet they seem to be more than they are; for that, all that impugn a received religion, or superstition, are by the adverse part branded with the name of atheists.
就是柏拉图也不能说得比这更好。再者,埃辟寇拉斯虽然有胆量否认神底施为,却没有能力否认神底性质。西印度人有他们底各神底名字,却没有上帝底名字(就好象假设异教徒有久辟特、阿波罗、马斯等等名字而没有“神”之一字似的);这就足见甚至这些野蛮人也有关于神的观念,虽然这些观念是没有文明人关于神的观念之广大与精深的。因此,在反对无神论者这一宗事上,野蛮人和最深远的哲学家是在一起的。思想家的神论者是很少的:一个戴俄高拉斯、一个巴昂、也许一个鲁先和其他的几位而已;然而就连他们也好象外表胜于实际,因为凡是对于既立的宗教或迷信倡异议的人总被反对者加以无神论者之名也。
But me great atheists, indeed, are hypocrites; which are ever handling holy things, but without feeling. So as they must needs be cauterised in the end. The causes of atheism are; divisions in religion, if they be many; for any one main division addeth zeal to both sides; but many divisions introduce atheism.
但是实实在在的无神论者乃是伪善者;他们老在搬弄神圣的东西而毫无所感;因此他们终久是要被炙的。无神论底原因是:宗教分成多派(因为任何分为主要的两大派是会增加人底热诚的;但是派别过多就要引起无神论了)。
Another is, scandal of priests; when it is come to that, which St Bernard saith; mon est ian dicere, ut populus ,sic sacerdos:quia nes populus,ut sacerdos. A third is, custom of profane scoffing in holy matters; which doth, by little and little, deface the reverence of religion. And lastly, learned times, specially with peace, and prosperity: for troubles and adversities do more bow men's minds to religion.
还有一个原因是僧侣底失德;就如圣波纳所说的情形一样:“我们现在不能说僧侣有如一般人,因为一般人现在是比僧侣强了”。第三个原因是一种亵渎和嘲弄神圣事物的风习,这种风习一点一点地毁损了宗教底尊严。最后还有一种理由,就是学术昌盛的时代,尤其是同时享有太平与繁荣的时代;因为祸乱与困厄较能使人心倾向宗教也。
They that deny a God, destroy man's nobility; for certainly, man is of kin to the beasts, by his body; and if he be not of kin to God, by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature. It destroys likewise magnanimity, and the raising of human nature: for take an example of a dog; and mark what a generosity and courage he will put on, when he finds himself maintained by a man; who to him is in stead of a God, or melior natura: which courage is manifestly such as that creature, without that confidence of a better nature than his own, could never attain. So man, when he resteth and assureth himself upon divine protection, and favour, gathereth a force and faith; which human nature, in itself, could not obtain.
否认有神的人是毁灭人类底尊贵的;因为人类在肉体方面的确是与禽兽相近的;如果人类在精神方面再不与神相类的话,那末人就是一种卑污下贱的动物了。同样,无神论也毁灭英雄气概与人性底提高;如以一条狗为例,看他在发现自己受一个人底护持的时候显得是如何的高贵勇武,一个人对于他就是一位神灵,或者是一种更高的品性;这是由于那条狗对于一种较自己底天性更高的天性有信仰的原故。这种勇武显然是那个动物若无这种信仰则永不能达到的。人也是这样,当他信赖神灵底保护及恩惠,并以之自励的时候,就能聚积一种力量和信心来,这种力量和信心单凭人性底本身是得不到的。
Therefore, as atheism is in all respects hateful, so in this, that it depriveth human nature of the means to exalt itself, above human frailty. As it is in particular persons, so it is in nations: never was there such a state, for magnanimity, as Rome: of this state hear what Cicero saith; Quam volumus licet. patres conscripti, nos amemus, tamen nec numero Hispans, nec robore Gallos, mec calliditate Poems, nec artibus Graecos.nec denique hoc ipso huius gentis et terrae domestico nativoque sensu Itlos ipsos et Latinos; sed pietate, ac religione, atque hac una sapientia, quod deorum imortalium numine omnia regi gubernarique perspeximus, ormes gentes nationesque superavimus.
因此,无神论在一切的方面可恨,在这一方面也如此,就是它削夺了人性所赖以自拔于人类底弱点的助力。这在个人如此,在民族亦如此,从来没有一个国家有如罗马之壮伟者。关于这个国家且听西塞罗之所言:“无论我们自视多高,然而我们在人数上胜不过西班牙人,在体力上胜不过高尔人,在狡黠上胜不过迦太基人,在艺术上胜不过希腊人,并且在那些天生的,属于人民与土地的乡土之感上,连土著的意大利人和拉丁人也胜不过;然而在慈孝上,在宗教上,并且在那唯一的大智慧上——就是认明世间底一切是由众神底意志管理并支配的——在这些上我们是胜过一切的国家与民族的”。

经典英语美文朗诵:The story of life 生命的故事
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away they were meant to be there , to serve some sort of purpose ,teach you a lesson,or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people maybe (possibly your roommate , neighbor , coworker , long lost friend , lover , or even a complete stranger),but when you lock eyes with them,you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way .
有时候,一些人进入你的生命,你马上知道他们是注定要出现的,他们的到来是为了达成某种目的,给你提供教益,帮助你认清自己以及自己想要成为怎样的人,你不会知道这些人是谁(很可能会是你的室友、邻居、同事、失散多年的朋友、爱人,甚至是素未谋面的陌生人),可是当你的目光锁定他们的那一刻,你就知道他们会给你的生命带来深远的影响。
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible , painful. and unfair at first , but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential , strength , willpower , or heart.
有时候,发生在你身上的事情看似可怕、痛苦和不公平,但仔细一想,你就会发现,如果不克服这些障碍,你就不会意识到自己的潜能、力量、意志和决心。
Everything happens for a reason.Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness , injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small test whatever they may be ,life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.The people you meet who affect your life ,and the success and downfalls you experience , help to create who you are and who you become.
任何事的发生都是有原因的。没有事情是偶然出现或运气使然。疾病、伤痛、爱情、与成功失之交臂,以及彻彻底底的糊涂犯错,这些都是你对精神极限的考验。无论这些小小的考验是什么,没有了它们,生命就像是一条不知通往何处的平坦大道,纵然安全舒适,但却了然无趣、毫无意义。你所遇到的影响你生命的人,你所经历的成功与失败,都有助于塑造和成就你的人生。
英语美文朗诵
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact ,they are probably the most poignant and important ones.If someone hurts you , betrays you ,or breaks your heart,forgive them,for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you ,love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you ,but because in a way , they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
即使是不好的经历,也能从中吸取经验。事实上,这些经验可能是最深刻和最重要的。如果有人伤害了你,背叛了你,或伤了你的心,原谅他们把,因为他们帮助你理解了信任,让你懂得了在敞开心扉时保持精神是很重要的。 如果有人爱你,你要无条件地爱他们,不仅因为他们爱你,还因为他们教会了你去爱,以及如何敞开你的心扉、放开你的目光。
Make every day count.Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.Hold your head up because you have every right to.Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself , it will be hard for others to believe in you . You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
让每一天都过的有价值。 珍惜生命中的每一刻,并尽你所能地从中取得收获,因为你不会有从头再来的可能。跟那些你从来没有说过话的人交谈,并注意聆听。让自己去爱,挣脱束缚,让目光高远。要昂起头,因为你有权利这么做。 告诉自己,你是一个伟大的人,并相信自己,因为如果你不相信自己,别人就很难相信你。 你可以做任何想做的事来塑造你的人生。 创造你自己的人生,并无怨无悔地去过这一生吧。
Most impotantly,if you LOVE someone, tell him or her ,for you never know what tomorrow may have in store. And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
最重要的是,如果你爱某个人,就告诉他/她。因为你不知道明天将会怎样。活着的每一天里都要有所收获。
That`s the story of life.
这就是生命的故事。

摘要:英国人待人彬彬有礼,讲话十分客气,“谢谢”、“请”字不离口。对英国人讲话也要客气,不论他们是服务员还是司机,都要以礼相待
The English Character
To other Europeans, the best known quality of the British,
and in particular of the English, is “reserved”.
A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,
does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited.
It is difficult to get to know a reserved person:
he never tells you anything about himself,
and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives,
how many children he has, and what his interests are.
English people tend to be like that.
Closely related to English reserve is English modesty.
Within their hearts, the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else,
but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty.
Self-praise is felt to be impolite.
If a person is, let us say,
very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player,
he will seldom reply “Yes,”
because people will think him conceited.
He will probably give an answer like,
“I’m not bad,” or “I think I’m very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.”
Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships,
he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck.
Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature,
the typical English tends to expect them in others.
He secretly looks down on more excitable nations,
and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they are.
He doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings,
especially if they are expressed in flowery language.
He doesn’t trust self-praise of any kind.
This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally,
but to the letters they may write to him.
To those who are fond of flowery expressions,
the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.

Stereo Skyline - Kiss Me In The Morning
Lyrics:
Every day gets a little bit better
when it starts with you
I don't care about the weather
If it's pouring rain (if it's pouring rain)
I know it sounds insane (I know it sounds insane)
But, I never thought a dream could come true
Until the day, the day I met you (you)
yea you, you
So, who cares if this is too fast
Cause I think it could last
If you kiss me in the morning
say you're mine
I can make it through the day alright.
If you leave a little lipstick on my mind
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
And if I was a million miles away
I'd try to make it back to you each day
So kiss me in the morning
leave a little warning
telling me to hurry back, please hurry back tonight.
(hurry back, please hurry back tonight)
(hurry back, please hurry back tonight)
Every word that you say sounds sweeter than a symphony
and I can't believe that it's happening to me
(that it's happening to me)
I want everyone to see (everyone to see)
But I never thought a dream could come true
Until the day, the day I met you (you)
yea you, you
So, who cares if this is too fast
Oh, cause I think it could last
If you kiss me in the morning
say you're mine
I can make it through the day alright.
If you leave a little lipstick on my mind

The Afters - Life is Beautiful
Lyrics:
Through the window
I see you waiting
You are smiling
Cause I'm coming
Your eyes are a story
An ocean of memories
Pictures of faces and places
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Living and dying
Laughing or crying
If we have the whole world or have nothing
I know there are long nights
But we'll make it
With every sunrise comes a new light
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
A father's love
A wedding dance
New Year's dreams
A toast with friends
A soldier coming home from war
The faith the hope of so much more
A brand new life, a mother's prayer
Shooting stars, ocean air
A lover's kiss, and hard goodbyes
Fireworks, Christmas lights
These are things that make us feel alive
These are the times that make us realize
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
These are the times that make us realize

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:The Five Boons of Life, 希望使你的心灵有所触动。
In the morning of life came a good fairy with herbasket,and said:"Here are gifts. Take one, leave theothers,And be wary,choose wisely!For only one ofthem is valuable."
The gifts were five :Fame, Love,Riches,Pleasure,Death.The youth,said,eagerly:"Thereis no need to consider";and he chose Pleasure.
He went out into the world and sought out thepleasures that youth delights in . But each in its turnwas short-liyed and disappointing,vain and empty;and each,departing,mocked him .In the endhe said:"These years i have wasted.If i could but choose again, I would choose wisely."
在生命之初,一位仙女带着篮子走来,对一位年轻人说道:"这里有几份礼物,你可以从中选一份,留下其它的.你要小心,做一个明智的选择;啊,你要明智地进行选择!因为这里面只有一份礼物是珍贵的."
一共有五份礼物:名声,爱情,财富,快乐,还有死亡.年轻人迫不及待地说:"没有必要多想."他选了快乐.
此后他就开始步入世界,追逐年轻人所喜爱的快乐.然而每一种快乐都是如此短暂,令人感到空虚和失望.每当一种快乐弃他而去时,还要把他嘲弄一番.最后,年轻人感叹道"这些年我都浪费了.如果我可以再选一次,我一定会做一个明智的选择."
2
The fairy appeared,and said:"Four of the gifts remain.choose once more:and oh,remember--time is flying,and only one of them is precious."
The man considered long,then chose Love;and did not mark the tears that rose in the fairy'seyes.
After many,many years the man sat by a coffin,in an empty home.And he communed withhimself,saying:"One by one they have gone away and leftme;and now she lies here,the dearestand the last.Desolation after desolation has swept over me;but each hour of happiness thetreacherous trader,Love,sold me i have paid a thousand hours ofo grief!Out of my heart ofhearts i curse him!"
这时仙女又出现了,她说:"这里还有四份礼物.再选一次吧.噢,记住时间飞逝,而其中只有一件是珍贵的."
他思考了很久,最终选择了爱情;他没有注意到仙女眼里泛起的泪光.许多许多年之后,这个人坐在一口棺材旁边,屋子里空荡荡的.他自言自语道:"他们一个一个地走了,只剩下我.现在,她就躺在这儿,我最亲爱的人儿,我最后的亲人.孤独一次又一次把我包围.都是因为爱情这个阴狡诈的商人,他出售给我的每个甜蜜的小时,我现在都要用数千个小时的悲伤来偿还!我从心底里诅咒他!"

"Choose again."It was the fairy speaking."The years have you wisdow-surely it must beso.There gifts remain.Only one of them has anyworth-remember it ,and choose warily."
The man reflected long,then chose Fame;and the fairy,sighing,went her way.
Years went by and she came again,and stood behind the man where he sat solitary in thefading day,thinking.And she knew his thought:"My name filled the world,and its praiss were onevery tongue,and it seemed well with me for a littlewhile.How little a while it was!Then cameenvy;then detraction;then hate;then persecution.Then derision,which is the begining of theend.And last of all came pity,which is the funeral of fame.Oh ,the bitterness and misery ofrenown!"
"你在选一次吧."仙女又一次说话了.
"这些年已经教予你智慧--也理当如此.这里还有三份礼物,其中只有一份是有价值的--切记,你好好挑吧."
他想了很久,然而选择了名声.仙女叹了口气,径自离开了.岁月流转,仙女又回来了,站到他的身旁.已迈入迟暮之年的他孑然一身,心情重重.他在想些什么,她都了然于心.
"我的名字传遍世界,每个人都争相赞颂,有一阵子好像让我心满足.可那是多么短暂的一阵子啊!随之而来的是妒忌;然后是诋毁;然后是憎恶;然后是迫害.之后是嘲讽,从些一切开始步入完结.最后便是怜悯,这也是我的名声的葬礼.啊,名声原来是这般苦涩和痛苦!"

"Choose yet again."It was the fairy's voice. "Two gifts remain.And do not despair .In thebegining there was but one that was precious,and it is still here.
"Wealth-which is power!How blind i was!"said the man."Now,at last,life will be worth the living.Iwill spend.squander.These mockers and despisers will crawl in the dirt before me,and i will feedmy hungry heart with their envy,I will have all luxuries,all joys,all enchant-times of the spirit Iwill buy,buy,buy!I have lost much time,and chosen badly heretofore,but let that pass;I wasignorant then,and could but take for best what seemed so."
Three short years went by,and a day came when the man sat shivering in a mean garret;and hewas gaunt and wan and hollow-eyed,and clothed in rags;and he was gnawing a dry crust andmumbling:"Curse all the world's gifts for mockeries and gilded lies!And miscalled,every one,Theyare not gifts,but merely lendings.Pleasure.Love,Fame.Riches:they are but temporary disguisesfor lasting realities-Pain,Grief,Shame,Poverty.The fairy said true;in all her store there was butone gift which was precious,only one that was not valueless,How poor and cheap and mean iknow those others now to be,Bring it!I am weary.I would rest."
"不过你还可以重新现挑一次."仙女的声音再度响起.
"还剩下两份礼物.不要灰心丧气,从一开始就只有一份是宝贵的,而现在它还在那里啊."
"财富--财富就是力量!我过去多盲目啊!"他说."现在,终于,我的生命将要变得有意义.我要纵情欢度此生,我要挥霍我的人生.那些对我冷嘲热讽,轻蔑诋毁我的人将要在我面前的泥土里挣扎,而我空乏的心也将因为他们的妒忌而得到满足.我将要享尽荣华富贵,所有欢乐和所有销魂的时光.我要买,买!以前我做错了选择,失去了许多时间,就让它过去吧;当时我很无知,我只能选我觉得最好的东西.
短短的三年又过去了.到了这么一天,这个人蜷缩在一个简陋的小阁楼里,古瘦如柴,苍白无力,双眼深陷,身上裹着碎布衣衫,浑身颤抖不停.他一边啃着一块干面包皮,一边咕哝着:"该死的礼物,都是为了让我受人嘲笑和欺诈!每一样都叫错了!它们都不是礼物,根本只是租借品!快乐,爱情,名声还有财富-都只不过是长久现实的暂时伪装-它们其实是永远的痛苦,悲哀,耻辱和贫穷!那个仙女说的没错啊,她所有的东西里只有一样是珍贵的,只有那么一样不是毫无价值的.我现在才明白,其它礼物是多么低贱与卑劣!把它带来吧-那真正宝贵的礼物!我累了,我想休息了.
5
The fairy came,bringing again four of the gifts,but Death was wanting.She said:"I gave it to amother's pet, a little child.It was ignorant,but trusted me,asking me to choose for it.You didnot ask me to choose."
"Oh,miserable me!What is left for me ?"
"What not even you have deserved:the wantoninsult of Old Age."
仙女出现了,带着以前的那四件礼物,但惟独没有最后那一件-死亡.她说道:"我把它给了一位母亲的宠儿子:一个小孩子.他什么也不懂,但他相信我,让我来帮他挑选.而你并没有这么做."
"啊,我多可悲啊!那还剩下什么给我呢?"
"一件你也不配得到的东西:接受年老体衰的折磨.

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:The Elegant Heart Towards Life, 希望使你的心灵有所触动。
As the brief introduction to this blog says, life couldbe poor and life could be lonely, but what we couldnever lose is the elegant heart towards life.
Everyone is busy these days. They are always drivenby their lives, buterehwis their destination?Something important is gradually cast awaycarelessly and some begin to complain of theboring mechanic life with no vitality with nothingnew. Actually we are the producers of our lives.Whether poor or lonely, we can live our liveselegantly.
Pay more attention to what we are really interested in and do it. Call our friends and family fordaily greetings. Occasionally go out for a walk and a climb and do some sports. Occasionally dinein a quiet clean and elaborately arranged restrourrant with our best friends and have a casualchat with them in a cafe whenever we have the mood. Arrange our room in a tidy way andsometimes changepuorgof daily articles, and buy our vase a bunch of flowers. Spend oneafternoon reading our favorite magazines without doing anything else.
Surely we are busy, but don't let the busy life destroy our own time. We should try to live forourselves like humanbeings but not machines.

下面是读文网小编整理的英语美文:The Fishermen,欢迎大家阅读!
There was a group called "The Fisherman's Fellowship". They were surrounded by streams andlakes full of hungry fish. They met regularly to discuss the call to fish, and the thrill of catchingfish. They got excited about fishing!!
Someone suggested that they needed a philosophy of fishing, so they carefully defined andredefined fishing, and the purpose of fishing. They developed fishing strategies and tactics.Then they realized that they had been going at it backwards. They had approached fishing fromthe point of view of the fisherman, and not from the point of view of the fish. How do fish viewthe world? How does the fisherman appear to the fish? What do fish eat, and when? These areall good things to know. So they began research studies, and attended conferences on fishing.Some traveled to far away places to study different kinds of fish, with different habits. Somegot PhD's in fishology. But no one had yet gone fishing.
So a committee was formed to send out fishermen. As prospective fishing placesoutnumbered fishermen, the committee needed to determine priorities.
A priority list of fishing places was posted on bulletin boards in all of the fellowship halls. Butstill, no one was fishing. A survey was launched, to find out why… Most did not answer thesurvey, but from those that did, it was discovered that some felt called to study fish, a few tofurnish fishing equipment, and several to go around encouraging the fisherman.
What with meetings, conferences, and seminars, they just simply didn't have time to fish.
Now, Jake was a newcomer to the Fisherman's Fellowship. After one stirring meeting of theFellowship, Jake went fishing. He tried a few things, got the hang of it, and caught a choice fish.At the next meeting, he told his story, and he was honored for his catch, and then scheduledto speak at all the Fellowship chapters and tell how he did it. Now, because of all the speakinginvitations and his election to the board of directors of the Fisherman's Fellowship, Jake nolonger has time to go fishing.
But soon he began to feel restless and empty. He longed to feel the tug on the line once again.So he cut the speaking, he resigned from the board, and he said to a friend, "Let's go fishing."They did, just the two of them, and they caught fish.
The members of the Fisherman's Fellowship were many, the fish were plentiful, but the fisherswere few.

下面是读文网小编整理的英语美文:Five Balls Of Life ,欢迎大家阅读!
This was written by the CEO of Coca-Cola Brian G. Dyson.It was used as Georgia Tech'sCommencement Address:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work,family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soonunderstand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other fourballs family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will beirrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are differentthat each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best foryou.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be yourlife, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living yourlife one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment youstop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us toeach together.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receivelove is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keeplove is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where youare going.
Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it 'ThePresent'.

下面是读文网小编整理的英语美文:Don't Miss Out on Life,欢迎大家阅读!
It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to lovesomeone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go forsomeone who makes you smile. Because it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Maybe we meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meetthe right person. We will know how to be grateful for that gift.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don'tknow what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love will not provide assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expectlove in return; Just wait for it to grow in their hearts. But if it doesn't, be content. It grew inyours.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick themfrom your dreams and hug them for real!
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.
Happiness are for those who cry, those who have searched, and those who have tried becauseonly they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站, 也没有能够“一到永逸”的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程,而车站不过是个梦,它始终遥遥领先于我们!下面是读文网小编为大家整理的双语美文欣赏:Relish the moment,希望大家喜欢!
Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.
我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光!我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中!乘着火车,我们领略着窗外流动的景色:附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓, 以及乡间的庄园宅第!
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地。在某一天的某一时刻,我们将会抵达进站!迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗!一旦到了那儿,多少美梦将成为现实,我们的生活也将变得完整,如同一块终于拼好了的拼图!现在我们在火车的过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去,咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉!我们期待着,期待着,期待着火车进站的那一刻!
"When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry.
"When I'm 18."
"When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!"
"When I put the last kid through college."
"When I have paid off the mortgage!"
"When I get a promotion."
"When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!"
“当我们到站的时候,一切就都好了!”我们呼喊着!“等我18岁的时候!”“等我有了一辆新450SL奔驰的时候!”“等我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候!”“等我偿清贷款的时候!”“等我官升高任的时候!”“等我到了退休的时候,就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦!”
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站, 也没有能够“一到永逸”的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程,而车站不过是个梦,它始终遥遥领先于我们!
"Relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
“享受现在”是句很好的箴言,尤其是当它与《圣经·诗篇》中第118页24行的一段话相映衬的时候,更是如此:“今日乃主所创造;生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴!”真正让人发疯的不是今日的负担,而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧!悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼,将今天从你我身边偷走!
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
所以不要在过道里徘徊了吧,别老惦记着你离车站还有多远!何不换一种活法,多去爬爬山,多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴,经常光着脚板儿溜达溜达,去河流里游游泳,多看看夕阳西下,多点欢笑,少点泪水!生活得一边过一边瞧!车站就会很快到达。
