篇一：短篇英語美文摘抄
巴黎文化
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 yourseIf. 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 museums, 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 museums 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. Browse through the art vendors colorful paintings. Peek through delicate iron gates at the well kept gardens. Watch closely for the French attention to detail that has made France synonymous with good taste. You will see 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 these days.
As evening comes to Paris, enchantment rises with the mist over the riverfront. You may hear music from an outdoor concert nearby classical, jazz, opera or chansons, those 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 choose one of the hundreds of excellent restaurants. The capital of France boasts every regional specialty, cheese and wine the country has to offer. If you don't know what to order, ask for the suggested menu. The chef likes to showcase his best dishes there. Remember, you haven't tasted the true flavor ofFrance until you've dined at a French restaurant in Paris.
After your gourmet dinner, take a walking tour of the floodlit monuments. Cross the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in the city. The most famous landmark of Paris looms up in front of you the Notre Dame Cathedral （Cathedral of Our Lady）。 Stand in the square in front of the cathedral. Here, you are standing in the center of France. All distances are measured from the front of Notre Dame. Every road in France leads to her front door. All French kings and leaders have journeyed here to commemorate important occasions and give thanks. Notre Dame is the heart ofParis and the heart of France.
Your visit in Paris has only just begun. You've just started to discover the charm ofthis old city. May the rest of yourjoumey be unforgettable. When it is time to leave, you will go reluctantly. You will say with the French, "A bientot, Paris, a bientot!" （See you again soon, Paris!）
譯文：
啊，美麗的巴黎！幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，這個(gè)城市贏得了整個(gè)世界的崇拜。巴黎的誘惑與魅力吸引了所有到此游玩的人。
你在哪里可以找到巴黎對(duì)你的吸引力呢？是否是在歷任的法國(guó)統(tǒng)治者們?cè)诿阑麄兯姁鄣某鞘袝r(shí)所留下來的遺產(chǎn)里？還是在那些有名的城堡、皇宮、雕像和紀(jì)念碑里呢？你能否在世界一流的博物館，例如盧浮宮中找著呢？或許巴黎的誘惑力在于巴黎人的特殊品味和風(fēng)格。
當(dāng)你到巴黎游玩時(shí)，別把時(shí)間全都花在看博物館和紀(jì)念碑上面。它們當(dāng)然很值得你花時(shí)間去參觀，但今天先忘掉它們。首先來四處看看，并體驗(yàn)—下巴黎的生活。你會(huì)在其中發(fā)現(xiàn)它的迷人之處的。
沿著塞納河漫步吧。瀏覽藝術(shù)家們豐富色彩的繪畫，透過那些精致的鐵門，向內(nèi)偷窺那些精心照看的花園。仔細(xì)留心法國(guó)人對(duì)于細(xì)節(jié)的留意，這使得法國(guó)成為“好品味”的同義詞。你可以在門廊或拱門以及小噴泉和古怪有趣的走廊的設(shè)計(jì)上發(fā)現(xiàn)這一點(diǎn)。不管你往哪里看，你都會(huì)覺得日常物品已經(jīng)變成了藝術(shù)品。
花些時(shí)間，在一個(gè)安靜的公園里面的舊板凳上輕松地休息或是躺在青草地上。想吃點(diǎn)心的.時(shí)候，嘗嘗路邊咖啡店的咖啡及點(diǎn)心。你也可以找一個(gè)巴黎人展開一段會(huì)話，但這也不太容易，有這么大的國(guó)際人口居住在此地，要找到一個(gè)真正當(dāng)?shù)氐陌屠枞耸呛茈y的。
到了傍晚時(shí)分，隨著碼頭上霧氣的升起，巴黎的誘惑力也隨之而起。你也會(huì)聽到附近室外音樂會(huì)所演奏的樂曲，其中包括古典樂、爵士樂、歌劇或是香頌即法國(guó)的民歌。巴黎人熱愛自己的音樂，繁星點(diǎn)綴的天空，就是他們演奏的大禮堂。你也可以在城堡或教堂里聆聽音樂會(huì)。在巴黎，音樂是不會(huì)停止的。
不要錯(cuò)過了巴黎的夜生活中最重要的一部分：下館子。巴黎人對(duì)其烹飪非常驕傲，他們理當(dāng)如此，因?yàn)樗澜珩Y名。美食本來就是與生活享樂不可分割的。為了幫你從幾百家絕佳的餐廳中作選擇，你需要—本特別的指南。法國(guó)的首都以各地的特色風(fēng)味、乳酪和酒著稱于世，如果你不知道要點(diǎn)什么，可以要“推薦菜單”來看。大廚喜歡在此將他最拿手的菜作一番櫥窗展示。請(qǐng)記住，在你尚未在巴黎的法國(guó)餐廳里吃過飯之前，都不算嘗過法國(guó)真正的風(fēng)味。
在你的美食晚餐之后，可以到被聚光燈照耀的紀(jì)念碑去走一趟。穿過（Pont Neuf）這個(gè)城市中最古老的橋——第九橋，你將到達(dá)城市之島（Ile de la Cite），此時(shí)巴黎最有名的標(biāo)志——圣母院會(huì)隱約地呈現(xiàn)在你的面前。站在教堂前面的廣場(chǎng)，此時(shí)你也正處于法國(guó)的正中心，因?yàn)樗械木嚯x皆是以圣母院前門開始計(jì)算，法國(guó)的每一條路都通往它的前門。所有的法國(guó)國(guó)王或統(tǒng)治者都曾經(jīng)旅游到此來紀(jì)念重要的節(jié)日或感恩。圣母院是巴黎的中心，也是法國(guó)的中心。
你的巴黎之旅才剛剛開始呢。你才剛剛開始發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)古老城市的魅力。希望你剩余的旅程將令你難以忘懷。當(dāng)你該起程回家時(shí)，你會(huì)依依不合。然后用法文說道：后會(huì)有期，巴黎！
篇二：短篇英語美文摘抄
孤獨(dú)
I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time.To be in company,even with the best, is soon wearisome. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will. Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. 'The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervish in the desert. The farmer can work alone in the field or the woods all day, hoeing or chopping，and not feel lonesome. beacause he is employed; but when he comes home at night he cannot sit down in a room alone, at the mercy of his thoughts, but must be where he can "see the folks," and recreate, and,as he thinks. remunerate himself for his day's solitude; and hence he wonders how the student can sit alone in the house all night and most of the day without ennui and "the blues"; but he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is still at work in his field, and chopping in his woods, as the farmer ire his. and in turn seeks the same recreation and society that the latter does, though it may be a more condensed form of it.
譯文：
大部分時(shí)候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)獨(dú)處都是有益于健康的。有人陪伴，即使是最好的同伴，不久也會(huì)心生厭煩，興致將消散。我愛獨(dú)處。我沒有遇見比孤獨(dú)更好的伴侶了。我們置身國(guó)外，立行人群之中，通常比獨(dú)處室內(nèi)更加寂寞。一個(gè)思考著的或工作著的人總是孤獨(dú)的，就讓他去他想去的地方吧。孤獨(dú)不是以和同伴之間的距離里程來衡量的。真正勤奮的學(xué)生，在劍橋?qū)W院一個(gè)擁擠的蜂房里，就像沙漠中的苦行僧一樣孤單。農(nóng)夫可以整日在田間或林中獨(dú)自工作，耕地或者伐木，卻并不感到寂寞，因?yàn)樗谢顑焊�；可是�?dāng)他晚上回到家中，卻不能在房間坐下獨(dú)自思考，而必須去“能看到鄉(xiāng)親”的.地方消遣娛樂，正如他所想的，去補(bǔ)償他五天的孤寂；因此他不明白學(xué)生如何可以整日整夜地獨(dú)坐在家里，而不感到倦怠和“優(yōu)郁”；但他沒有意識(shí)到，學(xué)生雖然身處室內(nèi)，卻依然在自己的田野上耕耘，在自己的森林中采伐。就像農(nóng)夫在他的田地林間工作一樣，之后學(xué)生也和農(nóng)夫一樣要去尋求消遣，山要去交朋結(jié)友，只是娛樂方式可能更加簡(jiǎn)明一些。
篇三：短篇英語美文摘抄
We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old mushy cheese that we are. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable and that we need not come to open war.We meet at the post office, and at the sociable,and about the fireside every night; we live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another. Certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty communications. Consider the girls in a factory-never alone, hardly in their dreams. It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live.The value of a man is not in his skin.
譯文：
我們相聚的時(shí)間十分短暫，沒有足夠的時(shí)間讓彼此獲得任何有價(jià)值的新事物。我們?cè)谝蝗杖偷臅r(shí)候見面，我們就如陳腐的奶略，卻讓彼此相互品嘗出新味道。我們必須一致同意若干條規(guī)則，也就是我們所謂的禮節(jié)和禮貌，使這種經(jīng)常的聚會(huì)相安無事，我們還要一致同意我們沒有爭(zhēng)吵的必要。我們?cè)卩]局碰面，在社交場(chǎng)合碰面，每天晚上在爐火邊碰面；我們生活得很擁擠，相互干擾，彼此牽絆，我想，我們因此失去了對(duì)彼此的尊重。當(dāng)然，所有重要的、真誠(chéng)的溝通，次數(shù)少一些就足夠了。想一想工廠里的女工——永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)獨(dú)處，甚至在夢(mèng)中也難得是獨(dú)自一人。如果一平方英里只有一個(gè)居民，就像我這樣，那要好多了。一個(gè)人的價(jià)值不在于他的`外在。

英語美文摘抄一
Man's youth is a wonderful thing： it is so full of anguish and of magic and he never comes to know it as it is， until it has gone from him forever. It is the thing he cannot bear to lose， it is the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret， it is the thing whose loss with a sad and secret joy， the thing he would never willingly relive again， could it be restored to him by any magic.
譯文：
青春奇妙無窮，充滿魅力，充滿痛楚。青春年少的時(shí)候根本不知青春為何物，直到青春一去不復(fù)返了才對(duì)青春有了真正的認(rèn)識(shí)。誰都想讓青春永駐，不忍青春離去； 眼睜睜地看著青春流逝，心中會(huì)涌起無窮的憂傷和惋惜；青春的失去是人們永遠(yuǎn)感到悲哀的事；青春的失去是人們真正覺得悲喜交集的事；即便奇跡出現(xiàn)青春復(fù)蘇， 誰都不會(huì)心甘情愿重度青春的歲月。
英語美文摘抄二
Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignant ， so unutterable， with such a bitter pain and joy， when we are young? It is this： that being rich， we are so poor； that being mighty， we can yet have nothing； that seeing， breathig， smelling， tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth， feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life – the most fortunate， wealthy， good， and happy life that any man has ever known – is ours – is ours at once， immediately and forever， the moment that we choose to take a step， or stretch a hand， or say a word—— we yet know that we can really keep， hold， take， and possess forever—— nothing. All passes； nothing lasts： the moment that we put our hand upon it ， it melts away like smoke， is gone forever， and the snake is eating at our heart again； we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.
譯文：
為什么如此？因?yàn)樵谇啻簳r(shí)代，生活充滿了奇特而辛酸的不可思議的事。我們?cè)谇啻耗晟贂r(shí)帶著悲喜交集的心情，十分強(qiáng)烈而不可名狀地感受到人生的奇特辛酸、不 可思議的經(jīng)歷。其實(shí)質(zhì)是什么呢？其實(shí)質(zhì)是這樣的：青春年少的時(shí)候，雖然殷實(shí)富足，卻非常貧窮；雖然力氣強(qiáng)大，卻一無所有；世間的富貴榮華觸目皆是，簡(jiǎn)直可 以呼吸到，聞到嗅到，還可以品嘗到，心中的自信按捺不住，深切地感受到整個(gè)被陶醉了的生活——人類迄今為止所知道的最幸運(yùn)、最富有的美好幸福的生活， 只要我們決定向前邁步，奮發(fā)努力，便立即歸我們所有了，并將永遠(yuǎn)屬于我們。然而，我們知道，我們真的永遠(yuǎn)不能抓到什么，永遠(yuǎn)不能獲得什么，永遠(yuǎn)不能占有什 么。一切匆匆過去，蕩然無存。我們一出手它就煙消云散，飄然而去，一去不復(fù)返了。于是，心中泛起陣陣隱痛，看到了自己真實(shí)的面孔，看到了自己未來生活的必 然走向。
英語美文摘抄三
A young man is so strong， so mad， so certain， and so lost. He has everything and he is able to use nothing. He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever against phantasmalbarriers， he is a wave whose power explodes in lost mid – oceans under timeless skies， here——aches out to grip a fume of painted smoke， he wants all， feels the thirst and power foreverything， and finally gets nothing. In the end， he is destroyed by his own strength， devoured by his own hunger， impoverished by his own wealth. Thoughtless of money or the accumulation of material possessions， he is none the less defeated in the end by his own greed a greed that makes the avarice of King Midas seem paltry by comparison.
譯文：
青年人非常堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，狂熱自信，但容易迷惘混沌，雖然機(jī)緣無數(shù)，卻把握不住，雖然身強(qiáng)體壯，試圖沖破重重虛幻的屏障，卻如同一個(gè)波浪，最終還是無力地消失在曠 遠(yuǎn)浩淼的大海中央，他伸出手想要抓住斑斕的云煙，他想得到世間的萬物，渴望主宰一切，最終卻是一無所獲。最后，他被自己的力量所毀滅，被自己的饑餓所吞 食，被自己的財(cái)富弄得貧窮潦倒。他對(duì)金錢或財(cái)富的積累不以為意漫不經(jīng)心，然而最終還是被自己的貪欲所吞噬。
英語美文摘抄四
And that is the reason why， when youth is gone， every man will look back upon that period of his life with infinite sorrow and regret. It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it ， of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it ， of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it.
譯文：
青春消逝，驀然回首，無論是誰，心中都會(huì)充滿無盡的憂傷，充滿無窮的懊悔。曾經(jīng)才智卓越，卻白白浪費(fèi)了，曾經(jīng)財(cái)富殷實(shí)，卻一無所有，曾經(jīng)本事高強(qiáng)，卻從未利用。一個(gè)認(rèn)識(shí)到自己失落青春的人回憶起來總是充滿悲傷和懊悔。
