　　英語美文摘抄 1

　　Youth

　　Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

　　Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

　　This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

　　Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

　　Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for 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, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

　　When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

　　青春

　　青春不是年華，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，炙熱的.戀情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

　　青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

　　歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

　　無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。 、

　　一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。

　　英語美文摘抄 2

　　If I Rest, I Rust

　　The significant inscription found on an old key---If I rest, I rust---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness.

　　Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

　　Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.

　　Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist.

　　The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.

　　Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose.

　　Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

　　如果我休息，我就會生銹

　　在一把舊鑰匙上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一則意義深遠的銘文——如果我休息，我就會生銹。對于那些懶散而煩惱的人來說，這將是至理名言。甚至最為勤勉的人也以此作為警示：如果一個人有才能而不用，就像廢棄鑰匙上的鐵一樣，這些才能就會很快生銹，并最終無法完成安排給自己的工作。

　　有些人想取得偉人所獲得并保持的成就，他們就必須不斷運用自身才能，以便開啟知識的大門，即那些通往人類努力探求的各個領(lǐng)域的大門，這些領(lǐng)域包括各種職業(yè)：科學，藝術(shù)，文學，農(nóng)業(yè)等。

　　勤奮使開啟成功寶庫的鑰匙保持光亮。如果休？米勒在采石場勞作一天后，晚上的時光用來休息消遣的話，他就不會成為名垂青史的地質(zhì)學家。著名數(shù)學家愛德蒙？斯通如果閑暇時無所事事，就不會出版數(shù)學詞典，也不會發(fā)現(xiàn)開啟數(shù)學之門的鑰匙。如果蘇格蘭青年弗格森在山坡上放羊時，讓他那思維活躍的大腦處于休息狀態(tài)，而不是借助一串珠子計算星星的位置，他就不會成為著名的.天文學家。

　　勞動征服一切。這里所指的勞動不是斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的，間歇性的或方向偏差的勞動，而是堅定的，不懈的，方向正確的每日勞動。正如要想擁有自由就要時刻保持警惕一樣，要想取得偉大的，持久的成功，就必須堅持不懈地努力。

　　英語美文摘抄 3

　　What I Have Lived For

　　Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

　　These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

　　I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy.

　　I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.

　　I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.

　　This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.

　　With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine.

　　And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

　　Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always it brought me back to earth.

　　Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.

　　I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

　　This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

　　我為何而生

　　我的一生被三種簡單卻又無比強烈的激情所控制：對愛的渴望，對知識的探索和對人類苦難難以抑制的嶼。這些激情像狂風，把我恣情吹向四方，掠過苦痛的大海，迫使我瀕臨絕望的邊緣。

　　我尋求愛，首先因為它使我心為之著迷，這種難以名狀的美妙迷醉使我愿意用所有的余生去換取哪怕幾個小時這樣的幸福。我尋求愛，還因為它能緩解我心理上的孤獨中，我感覺心靈的戰(zhàn)栗，仿如站在世界的邊緣而面前是冰冷，無底的死亡深淵。我尋求愛，因為在我所目睹的結(jié)合中，我仿佛看到了圣賢與詩人們所向往的天堂之景。這就是我所尋找的，雖然對人的一生而言似乎有些遙不可及，但至少是我用盡一生所領(lǐng)悟到的。

　　我用同樣的激情去尋求知識。我希望能理解人類的心靈，希望能夠知道群星閃爍的緣由。我試圖領(lǐng)悟畢達哥拉斯所景仰的'數(shù)即萬物的思想。我已經(jīng)悟出了其中的一點點道理，盡管并不是很多。

　　愛和知識，用它們的力量把人引向天堂。但是同情卻總把人又拽回到塵世中來。痛苦的呼喊聲回蕩在我的內(nèi)心。饑餓的孩子，受壓迫的難民，貧窮和痛苦的世界，都是對人類所憧憬的美好生活的無情嘲弄。我渴望能夠減少邪惡，但是我無能為力，我也難逃其折磨。

　　這就是我的一生。我已經(jīng)找到它的價值。而且如果有機會，我很愿意能再活它一次。

　　英語美文摘抄 4

　　Plant your deep in a bed of faith, and pack it down solid and tight. Drench(使?jié)裢? daily with positive thinking and keep saturated just right. Much often with forgiveness, for this will help you grow. Quickly remove any seeds of worry, for they will soon germinate(發(fā)芽，生長), and keep out the weeds of despair. Nourish disappointments with hope whenever it is needed, and always stay cool and shaded when you feel irritated or heated. Trim away guilt or depression, for they create decay, and cultivate with happy memories as often as every day.

　　Harvest the lessons of the past; just dig, pick, and hoe(鋤頭). And nurture the roots of the present, for now is when you flourish and grow. Start planting for the future; set your goals in a row. Spade the bed well for all your dreams to grow.

　　Remember that grief is a natural predator, so learn to tolerate some damage. Protect your garden with daily prayers, for this will help you manage. Bury the criticism and complaining, for they are injurious pests. Sow the seed of love wherever you may go----for joy, love and laughter are surely bound to grow. Although the thorns of life may be here to stay, just sprout a smile along the way--- and be thankful for what you have today!

　　英語美文摘抄 5

　　Cherishing What You Have Now, and Striving for the Future

　　珍惜現(xiàn)在，把握未來

　　So to you as individuals, what wisdom, have I learnt.

　　那么，你們作為個人，又學到了什么樣的智慧呢?

　　First, in fact, keep learning. Always to be alive to the possibilities of the next experience, of thinking, doing and being.

　　事實上，首先就是要不斷學習。要時刻準備迎接新的生活、不斷思考、積極行動。

　　When Buddha was asked, near the end of his life, to describe his secret, he answered bluntly: "Im awake."

　　佛陀臨終前，人們要求他講述成為圣人的秘訣，他坦率地說：“因為我頭腦清醒”。

　　so be awake. Understand conventional wisdom, but be prepared to change it.

　　所以，要保持頭腦清醒。要了解傳統(tǒng)的智慧，但要準備改變它。

　　Feel as well as analyze; use your instinct alongside your reason. Calculate too much and you will miscalculate.

　　不僅要學會分析，還妥學著用心感受。直覺與推理并存，因為算計太多難免會出錯。

　　Be prepared to fail as well as to succeed, realise it is failure not success that defines character.

　　不僅要接受成功，也要準備經(jīng)歷失敗。因為是失敗而非成功塑造了性格。

　　Be good to people on your way up because you never know if you will meet them again on your way down.

　　當你事業(yè)順利的時候妥善待他人，因為你永遠不會知道，你遭遇挫折的時候是否會遇到他們。

　　Judge someone by how they treat those below them not those above them.

　　評價一個人，要看他們怎樣對待比自己地位低的人，而不是看他們怎樣對待地位比自己高的人。

　　Be a firm friend not a fair-weather friend. It is your friendships, including those friends you made here at Yale, at this time, that sustain and enrich the human spirit.

　　要做一個可靠的朋友，而不是靠不住的酒肉朋友。是友誼，包括現(xiàn)在你們在耶魯大學結(jié)交的朋友之間的友誼，維持并豐富著人類精神。

　　We have begun a groundbreaking Strategic a nd Economic Dialogue between our two countries. This is an effort to seek new avenues for collaboration, to find solutions together to common problems we face. Secretary Geithner and I were honored to co-host the first round here in Washington a little over a month ago, and the results exceeded our expectations. This was the largest gathering ever of top leaders from our two countries. Most of my colleagues in the Cabinet met with their counterparts in the Chinese Government. We got to know each other better through hours spent in consultation and negotiation. We had very productive exchanges on issues ranging from the global economic crisis to climate change to poverty and disease to the security threats that confront us. And already, we are seeing the results of those meetings.

　　我們已經(jīng)啟動了兩國間開拓性的`戰(zhàn)略與經(jīng)濟對話。這一努力的宗旨是尋求新的合作途徑，并協(xié)力尋找解決我們共同面臨的種種問題的方法。一個多月前，蓋特納部長和我有幸在華盛頓共同主持了第一次對話，取得的成果超出了我們的預期。這是我們兩國高層領(lǐng)導人有史以來規(guī)模最大的一次集會。大多數(shù)本屆內(nèi)閣成員都同中國政府的有關(guān)官員見面。通過長時間的磋商和談判，我們加深了對彼此的了解。我們就全球經(jīng)濟危機、氣候變化、貧困和疾病以及我們所面臨的安全威脅等諸多議題卓有成效地交換了意見。而且，我們已經(jīng)看到這些會談的成果。

　　President Obama and I believe we are entering a new era in China-U.S. relations. Building a strong relationship with China is a central goal of the Obama Administration and a personal priority of mine. We embraced the idea of an expanded dialogue with China early in the Administration because we wanted to build upon it as much as possible in the months and years ahead, to yield the most meaningful results and to build an even stronger foundation for future cooperation. I am very pleased that President Obama will be visiting China in November. We know that together we bear heavy responsibilities on our shoulders. We have to work to forge a new global architecture of cooperation. We have to deepen and broaden our partnership, mutual respect and shared responsibility.

　　奧巴馬總統(tǒng)和我都相信，我們正在步入一個中美關(guān)系的新紀元。同中國建立穩(wěn)固的關(guān)系是奧己馬政府的一個核心目標，也是我個人的一項工作重點。我們在本屆政府上任之初就提出同中國擴大對話，是因為我們希望在今后幾年盡可能鞏固這一對話，取得最有意義的成效，并為以后的合作奠定更加堅實的基礎(chǔ)。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)即將于11月訪問中國，我為此感到非常高興。我們知道，我們共同肩負著重大責任。我們必須為建立一個全球合作新框架而努力。我們必須加深并擴大我們的伙伴關(guān)系以及相互尊重和共同責任。我們知道，我們共同肩負著重大責任。我們必須為建立一個全球合作新框架而努力。我們必須加深并擴大我們的伙伴關(guān)系以及相五尊重和共同責任。

　　And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that youll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? Youre going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You ve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.

　　不論你的生活志向是什么，我敢肯定你必須接受教育才能實現(xiàn)它。你想當醫(yī)生、教師或警官嗎?你想當護士、建筑師、律師或軍人嗎?你必須接受良好的教育，才能從事上述任何一種職業(yè)。你不能指望輟學后能碰上個好工作。你必須接受培訓，為之努力，為之學習。

　　And this isnt just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What youre learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

　　這并非只對你個人的人生和未來意義重大。教育給你們帶來的益處將完全可以決定這個國家的未來。美國的未采取決于你們。你們現(xiàn)在在校學習的知識將決定我們作為一個國家是否能夠迎接我們未來所面臨的最嚴峻挑戰(zhàn)。

　　Youll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. Youll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, make our nation more fair and more free. Youll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

　　你們將需要利用你們通過自然科學和數(shù)學課程所學到的知識和解決問題的能力來治愈像癌癥、艾滋病之類的疾病，開發(fā)新的能源技術(shù)和保護我們的環(huán)境。你們將需要利用你們在歷史學和社會學課堂上所獲得的知識和批判性思考能力來抗擊貧困和解決無家可歸問題，打擊犯罪和消除歧視，使我們的國家更公平、更自由。你們將需要利用你們在所有課堂上培養(yǎng)的創(chuàng)造力和智慧來創(chuàng)辦新公司，增加就業(yè)機會，振興我們的經(jīng)濟。

　　We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you dont do that——if you quit on school——youre not just quitting on yourself, youre quitting on your country.

　　我們需要你們每個人都發(fā)揮聰明才智和技能，以便幫助我們老一輩人解決我們最棘手的問題。如果你們不這樣做——如果你們輟學——你們不僅僅是放棄自己，也是放棄自己的國家。

　　Sing the Melody Line in Your Life

　　奏出生命中最美的樂曲

　　Every era has its defining struggle and the fate of Africa is one of ours. Its not the only one, but in the history books its easily going to make the top five---what we did or what we did not do. Its a proving ground, as I said earlier, for the idea of equality. But whether its this or something else, I hope youll pick a flight and get in it. Get your boots dirty. Get rough. Steel your courage with a final drink there at Somoky Joes, one last primal scream and go.

　　每一個時代都有其特定的斗爭使命，而我們的一個使命就是改變非洲的命運。這不是我們唯一的使命，但無論是對我們已經(jīng)解決的或尚未解決的困難來說，這都被歷史列為五大挑戰(zhàn)之一。正如我之前說過的，非洲是平等理念的試驗場。不管是什么原因，我都希望你們掀起這場斗爭并為之奮斗。去感受苦難，去磨練你的意志，在斯莫基喬酒吧再飲上最后一杯，大喊一聲，然后踏上征程。

　　Sing the melody line you hear in your own head Remember, you dont owe anybody any explanations. You dont owe your parents any explanations. You dont owe your professors any explanations. You know, I used to think that the future was solid, or fixed, or something you inherited like an old building that you move into when the previous generation moves out or gets chased out. But its not. The future is not fixed. Its fluid. You can build your own building, or hut or condo, whatever. This is the metaphor part of the speech by the way.

　　唱出你心中最美的樂曲!記住，你無須向任何人解釋，你無須向父母做出任何解釋，你也無須向你的教授做出任何解擇。我曾經(jīng)認為未來是注定的、一成不變的，就像繼承一座老房子，上一代搬出去或被逐出去，你們就可以搬進去。但事實并非如此。未來并非一成不變，而是可以改變的。你們可以建造自己的大樓或小棚子或公寓。順便說一下，這只是今天致辭中的暗喻。

　　But my point is that the world is more malleable than you think and its waiting for you to hammer it into shape. Now if I were a folksinger Id immediately launch into "If I Had a Hammer" right now, get you all singing and swaying. But as I say I come from punk rock, so Id rather have the bloody hammer right here in my fist. Thats what this degree of yours is, a blunt instrument. So go forth and build something with it. And remember what John Adams said about Ben Franklin, "He does not hesitate at our boldest Measures but rather seems to think us too irresolute."

　　但我要說的'是，世界比你們想象的更具可塑性，它正等待著你們把它塑造成型。現(xiàn)在，如果我是一名民間歌手，我就會立即開始唱《假如我有一把鐵錘》，帶領(lǐng)你們一起唱、一起跳。但如我所言，我是朋克樂隊的一名歌手，我寧愿手中握著一把帶血的鐵錘。你們的學位不過算是一把不算鋒利的武器，所以，向前沖吧!用它去鑄造未來!記住約翰·亞當對本·富蘭克林的評價：“對于我們最勇敢的行動，他毫不猶豫地響應(yīng)，但似乎認為我們過于優(yōu)柔寡斷了。”

　　Follow Your Gut, and You will be a Huge Success

　　追隨自己的心聲，你們一定會成功

　　So, graduates, in closing, each of us has to stand in our own shoes, and the real question is how will you stand in your own? Will you stand in them with humility and compassion and integrity and courage? Well, Im here to tell you, every day and every experience of your life will give you a chance to make that choice, It still happens to me, every day, all the time.

　　畢業(yè)生們，最后，我們總要穿上自己的鞋子去走自己的路，真正的問題是你們會選擇怎樣走呢?你們會不會帶著謙卑、同情、正直和勇氣走呢?今天在這里我想告訴你們，生命中的每一天，每次經(jīng)歷都會給你選擇的機會。我也是每一天每一刻都面臨著選擇。

　　So it still happens every single day, decisions---decisions come my way that require me to decide who am I really, what am I really doing this for? Decisions that allow me to make a decision as to whether or not I will do the right thing or will I do the popular thing. So for every experience in life, you get a chance to know whether or not right or whether or not youll follow the opinions of everyone else.

　　每天我都要做出決定，而這需要我自己選擇我真正想成為什么樣的人，我做這些真正為了什么。這些決定允許我自己決定是去做正確的事情，還是去做流行的事情。所以對于生命中的每次經(jīng)歷來說，你都有機會明白這么做是否正確，還是僅僅為迎合或不迎合別人的觀點。

　　For me, its all about following my gut. I am who I am because I trust my gut more than anyone elses opinion, and that is my best advice to you. You know what is right, and when everyone around you is telling you what you should do, what you shouldnt do, and when you... have to ask more than anybody other than yourself, you have to ask anyone other than yourself, it is your instinct, your higher selfs way of saying, "Get still until you do know the answer, because your gut will never lead you wrong." Trust your gut to help you stand proudly in your own shoes, as you help others stand in theirs, and I know you will be a huge success. You have my warmest best wishes and my most heartfelt congratulations.

　　對我來說，我會追隨自己的心聲。我之所以是我，就是因為與別人的`觀點相比，我更相信自己的心聲，這也是我給你們的最好的建議。你們知道什么是正確的，所以當身邊有人告訴你們什么該做，什么不該做的時候，當你們不得不征求別人的意見而不問自己想法的時候，你們的直覺、你們的自我就會告訴你堅持做下去，直到自己弄清答案，因為你的心聲不會帶你走錯路。"相信自己的心聲，你才能自豪地穿上自己的鞋子走自己的路，如果你也能幫別人走他們自己的路，那你們定會大有作為。最后，將我最美好的祝愿送給你們，衷心祝賀你們。

　　英語美文摘抄 11

　　TO see the golden sun and the azure sky, the outstretched ocean, to walk upon the green earth , and to be a lord of a thousand creatures to look down giddy precipices or over distant flowery vales, to see the world spread out under ones finger in a map, to bring the stars near, to view the smallest insects in a microscope, to read history and witness the revolutions of empires and the succession of generations ,to hear the glory of Sidon and Tyre of Babylon and Susa,as of a faded pageant,and say all these were and are now nothing. to think that we exist in such a point of time, and in such a corner of space,to be at once spectators and a part of the moving scene to watch the return of the seasons, of spring and autumn, to hear---The stock dove plain amid the forest deep,That drowsy rustles to the sighing gale.

　　我們看到金色的太陽，蔚藍的天空，廣闊的海洋;我們漫步在綠油油的大地上，做萬物的主人;我們俯視令人目眩心悸的懸崖峭壁，遠眺鮮花盛開的'山谷;我們把地圖攤開，任意指點全球;我們把星辰移到眼前觀看，還在顯微鏡下觀察極其微小的生物，我們學歷史，親自目睹帝國的興亡，時代的交替;我們聽人談?wù)撐黝D、推羅、巴比倫和蘇撒的勛業(yè)，如同聽一番往昔的盛會，聽了以后，我們說這些事確實發(fā)生過，但現(xiàn)在卻是過眼云煙了;我們思考著自己生活的時代，生活的地區(qū);我們在人生的活動舞臺上既當觀眾，又當演員;我們觀察四季更迭，春秋代序，我們聽見了——野鴿在濃密的樹林中哀訴，樹林隨微風的嘆息而低語。

　　---to traverse desert wildness, to listen to the midnight quiet, to visit lighted holes, or plunged to the dungeons gloom,or sit in crowded theatres and see life itself mocked, to feel heat and cold,pleasure and pain, right and wrong,truth and falsehood, to study the works of art and refine the sense of beauty to agony, to worship fame and to dream of immortality, to have read Shakespeare and Beloit to the same species as Sir isaac Newton to be and to do all this and then in a moment to be nothing to have it all snatched from one like a jugglers ball or a phantasmagoria.....

　　——我們橫絕大漠;我們傾聽了子夜的歌聲;我們光顧燈火輝煌的廳堂，走下陰森森的地牢，或者坐在萬頭攢動的劇院里觀看生活本身受到的摩擬;我們親身感受炎熱和寒冷，快樂和痛苦，正義和邪惡，真理和謬誤;我們鉆研藝術(shù)作品，把自己的美感提高到極其敏銳的程度;我們崇拜榮譽，夢想不朽;我們閱讀莎士比亞，或者把自己和牛頓爵士視為同一族類，正當我們面臨這一切，從事這一切的時候，自己卻在一剎那之間化為虛無，眼前的一切像是魔術(shù)師手中的圓球，像是一場幻影，一下子全都消失得無影無蹤......

　　英語美文摘抄 12

　　There are two ways of thinking of history. There is, first, history regarded as a way of look-ing at other things, really the temporal aspect of anything, from the universe to this nib when I am writing. Everything has its history. There is the history of the universe, if only we knew it-and we know something of it, if we do not know much. Nor is the contrast so great, when you come to think of it, between the universe and this pen-nib. A mere pen-nib has quite a considerable history. There is, to begin with, what has been written with it, and that might be something quite important. After all it was probably only one quill-pen or a couple that wrote Hamlet. Whatever has been written with the pen-nib is part of its history. In addition to that there is the history of its manufacture: this particular nib is a Relief nib, No. 314, made by R. Esterbrook and Co. in England, who supply the Midland Bank with pen-nibs, from whom I got it—a gift, I may say, but behind this nib there is the whole process of manufacture. In fact a pen nib implies of universe, and the history of it implies its history. We may regard this way of looking at it—history as the time-aspect of all things: a pen-nib, the universe, the fiddled before me as I write, as a relative conception of history. There is, secondly, what we mat call a substantive conception of history, what we usually mean by it, history proper as a subject of study in itself.

　　思考歷史的方式有兩種。其一，歷史作為審視其他事物的一種方式，其實僅為所有事物暫時的面貌，從整個宇宙到正在書寫的筆端。每一樣事物都有它的歷史。宇宙也有它的歷史，要是我們知道就好了——雖然我們所知有限，總算知道一些;仔細想一下，宇宙和這筆端，其間的差異也不是那么大。但即使僅是這筆端也有一段歷史。首先，透過它便有寫出來的東西，而這些可能相當重要。畢竟莎士比亞的戲劇《哈姆雷特》也只靠一兩支鵝毛筆便完成了。通過筆尖所寫出來的東西變成了這支筆本身的歷史。此外，還有這支筆的制作歷史：我這個筆尖其實是英國艾斯塔布祿克(Esterbrook)廠制作的314凸版型產(chǎn)品，這家廠是專門為米特蘭銀行供應(yīng)筆尖的，我就是從那兒得到的這個筆尖——或許應(yīng)該說是一份禮物。在這筆尖的背后有一連串的制作過程……故此，這筆尖蘊含了一個宇宙，而它的歷史也蘊含了宇宙的.歷史。我們可以把這種審視歷史的方式看做所有事物的時間面貌：一支筆尖、宇宙、眼前我寫作的領(lǐng)域……作為歷史的相對觀念。其二，則為我們稱做存在觀念的歷史，我們通常所說的就是這個概念，歷史本身作為一個研究科目。

　　我希望我可以選擇性失憶，或者是回到?jīng)]有你的過去。我盡力說服我自己去放棄，但為什么在這個時候你又來干擾我?

　　我對你產(chǎn)生好感是顯而易見的，所以我總是帶著微笑在你的附近漫步，這代表著我對你的癡迷。事實上，我知道，在你的世界里我永遠是被遺棄的那一個。你一直對這個班級是如此的嚴肅。我承認，當我發(fā)現(xiàn)你和她相處的那么愉快，我甚至嫉妒我的語文老師。毫無疑問的`我認為你喜歡她。但是，沒關(guān)系了，我曾經(jīng)考慮這件事情用了很長一段時間。對于一個學生來說喜歡她的老師是錯誤的事情。也許，是到了我該放棄的時候，所以我會欣然接受。

　　有時候，我也不明白為什么我會喜歡你。然而，偶然之中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)你的微笑深深地吸引著我。而我對你的始終如一的心是不言而喻的。

　　如果這可能發(fā)生，我希望能夠愛我所愛，做我所想，并且成為你的最愛。

　　我堅信在我的生命里，沒有任何人可以代替你的位置。
