英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典美文2
人一生，短短數(shù)載，不夠時(shí)間計(jì)較，不夠時(shí)間事事明細(xì)，不必在思前想后中耗磨時(shí)間，懂得享樂(lè)，人生貴在糊涂。
We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
我們每個(gè)人，在不同時(shí)期，都曾經(jīng)像一個(gè)搖滾歌星那樣，伴著我們最愛(ài)的那首歌又唱又跳.很多人在小時(shí)候，甚至是已長(zhǎng)大成人，都曾在我們自己房間和家里這樣的隱秘空間里這樣做過(guò)。我呢?我喜歡在開(kāi)車(chē)的時(shí)候這樣!打開(kāi)收音機(jī)，找一首會(huì)唱的歌，很快我就會(huì)張開(kāi)雙臂，隨著節(jié)奏起舞。大部分時(shí)候，我在上班的路上這么做。
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
是的，那是真的。我會(huì)穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵車(chē)和遇到交通燈時(shí)，有人就會(huì)用奇怪的眼神看著我，或者笑我。對(duì)我個(gè)人而言，我喜歡沉浸在一首歌的節(jié)奏中，由此我愿和你們分享：為人糊涂貴在何處。
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
糊涂一詞在字典中的定義是：愚蠢的，傻，荒謬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他們?cè)谏钪惺冀K一臉嚴(yán)肅，而這在本質(zhì)上才是真正的愚笨。
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don"t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
人無(wú)完人，我重申一次：沒(méi)有人是完美的。我不在乎一個(gè)人學(xué)識(shí)多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多淺薄，生活多儉樸，多富有，等等 人無(wú)完人!那么，為什么要偽裝成我們實(shí)際上本不是的`呢?
Life is so short You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
人生何其短暫 你不會(huì)知道這美好的征程何時(shí)會(huì)結(jié)束，那么，為什么要浪費(fèi)一分一秒，讓自己變得棱角分明?這里引用索薩的話，我覺(jué)得她一語(yǔ)中的，是人生的一大秘方。
Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth.
跳舞吧，就像沒(méi)有人欣賞一樣，
去愛(ài)吧，就像沒(méi)有受到傷害一樣，
唱歌吧，就像沒(méi)有人傾聽(tīng)一樣，
生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一樣。
When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.
當(dāng)我們還是孩子，我們天不怕，地不怕，無(wú)憂無(wú)慮，所以我們可以不在乎自己再別人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，當(dāng)我們長(zhǎng)大，我們失去了那種天真爛漫。
So don"t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn"t want to feel good?
所以，不要丟失你心中那個(gè)小孩。下次你感到沮喪時(shí)，去打開(kāi)你最愛(ài)的那首歌吧，隨之歌唱起舞，就像沒(méi)有明天一樣�；蛘呖袋c(diǎn)能讓你笑的東西。笑聲是除去任何煩惱良方，沒(méi)有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你會(huì)好受很多，誰(shuí)又不想讓自己好受呢?
英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典美文3
俗語(yǔ)云： 子不嫌母丑 ，你小時(shí)候有沒(méi)有過(guò)這樣的經(jīng)歷，假如是媽媽對(duì)你說(shuō)你哪一點(diǎn)做得不好，你可能會(huì)記仇很長(zhǎng)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，甚至都不會(huì)忘記，而你嫌棄的說(shuō)自己母親的缺點(diǎn)后，母親卻很快的就忘記了，因?yàn)榧偃缒銓?duì)母親的愛(ài)是從地球到月亮那么多，母親的愛(ài)卻是從地球到月亮再?gòu)脑铝粱氐降厍蜻�要多，她會(huì)原諒你的一切。
Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, she"d lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
夜復(fù)一夜，她總是來(lái)幫我來(lái)蓋被子，即使我早已長(zhǎng)大。這是媽媽的長(zhǎng)期習(xí)慣，她總是彎下身來(lái)，撥開(kāi)我的長(zhǎng)發(fā)，在我的額上一吻。
I don"t remember when it first started annoying me her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her: Don"t do that anymore your hands are too rough! She didn"t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words haunted me. But pride stifled my conscience, and I didn"t tell her I was sorry.
我不記得從何時(shí)起，她撥開(kāi)我的頭發(fā)令我非常不耐煩。但的確，我討厭她長(zhǎng)期操勞、粗糙的手摩擦我細(xì)嫩的皮膚。最后，一天晚上，我沖她叫： 別再這樣了 你的手太粗糙了! 她什么也沒(méi)說(shuō)。但媽媽再也沒(méi)有象這樣對(duì)我表達(dá)她的愛(ài)。直到很久以后，我還是常想起我的那些話。但自尊占了上風(fēng)，我沒(méi)有告訴她我很后悔。
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother"s hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, hauntingly, in the back of my mind.
時(shí)光流逝，我又想到那個(gè)晚上。那時(shí)我想念我媽媽的手，想念她晚上在我額上的'一吻。有時(shí)這幕情景似乎很近，有時(shí)又似乎很遙遠(yuǎn)。但它總是潛伏著，時(shí)常浮現(xiàn)，出現(xiàn)在我意識(shí)中。
Well, the years have passed, and I"m not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She"s been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl"s stomach or soothe a boy"s scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.
一年年過(guò)去，我也不再是一個(gè)小女孩，媽媽也有70多歲了。那雙我認(rèn)為很粗糙的手依然為我和我家庭做著事。她是我家的醫(yī)生，為我女兒在藥櫥里找胃藥或在我兒子擦傷的膝蓋上敷藥。她能燒出世界上最美味的雞 將牛仔褲弄干凈而我卻永遠(yuǎn)不能 而且可以在任何時(shí)候盛出冰激凌。
Through the years, my mother"s hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before automatic washers!
這么多年來(lái)，媽媽的手做了多少家務(wù)!而且在自動(dòng)洗衣機(jī)出現(xiàn)以前她已經(jīng)操勞了絕大多數(shù)時(shí)間。
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.
現(xiàn)在，我的孩子都已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大，離開(kāi)了家。爸爸去世了，有些時(shí)候，我睡在媽媽的隔壁房間。一次感恩節(jié)前夕的深夜，我睡在年輕時(shí)的臥室里，一只熟悉的手有些猶豫地、悄悄地略過(guò)我的臉，從我額頭上撥開(kāi)頭發(fā)，然后一個(gè)吻，輕輕地印在我的眉毛上。
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained: Don"t do that anymore your hands are too rough! Catching Mom"s hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she"d remember, as I did. But Mom didn"t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten and forgiven long ago.
在我的記憶中，無(wú)數(shù)次，想起那晚我粗暴、年青的聲音： 別再這樣了 你的手太粗糙了! 抓住媽媽的手，我沖口而出因?yàn)槟峭�，我是多么后悔。我以為她想起�?lái)了，象我一樣。但媽媽不知道我在說(shuō)些什么。她已經(jīng)在很久以前就忘了這事，并早就原諒了我。
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
那晚，我?guī)е鴮?duì)溫柔母親和體貼雙手的感激入睡。這許多年來(lái)我的負(fù)罪感已經(jīng)消失無(wú)蹤。
英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典美文4
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
有時(shí)，一些人一闖入你的生活你便知道他們本就想這么做，其中有著一定的目的 或給你一個(gè)教訓(xùn)，或幫助你明白你是誰(shuí)或你要成為誰(shuí)。你永遠(yuǎn)也不知道這些人會(huì)是誰(shuí)，是你的舍友、鄰居、教授、久違的朋友、愛(ài)人，甚或是一個(gè)完全的陌生人。當(dāng)你與他們四目相對(duì)，你便知道他們會(huì)以某種深遠(yuǎn)的方式影響你的生活。
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
有時(shí)，一些事情發(fā)生了，它們看上去是那么可怕、痛苦和不公;但細(xì)想一下你就會(huì)明白，如果沒(méi)有去努力克服這些難題，你將永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)知道自己的潛能、力量、意志力和內(nèi)心。任何事情的發(fā)生都是有原因的，沒(méi)有一件事是偶然發(fā)生的或是因了某種好運(yùn)或厄運(yùn)發(fā)生的。疾病、傷害、愛(ài)、真正的偉大的消逝和完全的愚蠢――所有這一切的發(fā)生都是對(duì)你的.精神極限的考驗(yàn)。不管這考驗(yàn)是一些事件、疾病或是某種關(guān)系，沒(méi)有了它們，生活都將只剩下陽(yáng)光大道，安穩(wěn)、舒適，但卻單調(diào)、沒(méi)有意義，不會(huì)通往任何地方。
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience - they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
你遇到的那些影響你的生活的人和你所經(jīng)歷的成功或失敗，都會(huì)讓你看清自己。即使是不好的經(jīng)歷，也能讓你從中得到教訓(xùn)。這些教訓(xùn)是最嚴(yán)酷的，但也可能是最重要的。
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 to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
如果有人傷害了你、背叛了你、或讓你心碎，原諒他們吧，因?yàn)樗麄儙椭愣昧耸裁词切湃�，也讓你明白了�?duì)那些你敞開(kāi)心扉交往的人保持謹(jǐn)慎的重要性。如果有人愛(ài)你，那么也無(wú)條件地愛(ài)他們吧，不光因?yàn)樗麄儛?ài)你，也因?yàn)樗麄兘虝?huì)了你如何去愛(ài)，如何打開(kāi)心扉、張開(kāi)眼睛去感受那些沒(méi)有他們你便不能看到或感受到的世間的種種。
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
讓每一天都過(guò)得有意義吧。享受生命中的每一刻，盡你所能從中汲取，因?yàn)橐院竽憧赡軟](méi)有機(jī)會(huì)再有同樣經(jīng)歷。
Talk to people 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, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
與那些你從沒(méi)打過(guò)招呼的人互相交談聆聽(tīng)吧，讓自己沐浴愛(ài)河吧，自由地沖破藩籬，讓你的眼界更加高遠(yuǎn)吧。抬起你的頭，因?yàn)槟阌袡?quán)利這樣做。相信自己，告訴自己你很了不起，因?yàn)槿绻B你自己都不相信自己，別人又怎能相信你?你能夠按自己的意愿生活。去創(chuàng)造出自己的生活，然后走出來(lái)享受生活吧。
People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are.
人就像茶葉袋，只有放到熱水中，你才能知道他們有多強(qiáng)大。
英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典美文5
People need homes: children assume their parents" place as home; boarders call school home on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers have no place to call home , at least for a few nights.
人人都需要家：小孩子把父母的住所當(dāng)做自己的家;寄宿生在平日把學(xué)校稱為 家 結(jié)了婚的夫妻要共同營(yíng)造自己的新家;至于旅者呢 至少有幾晚他們要住在不能稱為 家 的地方!
So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Don t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.
那么那些不得不長(zhǎng)期出門(mén)在外的'人怎么辦?難道他們無(wú)權(quán)擁有一個(gè)家嗎?他們當(dāng)然有!
Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely. Furthermore, driving a camping car during one s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home -- only mobile!
有些經(jīng)常出門(mén)的旅者會(huì)隨身攜帶些屬于自己的日用品，像床單、枕套或全家福相片等，無(wú)論走到哪里，這些東西都能帶給他們家的感覺(jué);有些人在長(zhǎng)駐時(shí)會(huì)待在同一家旅館里，使他們對(duì)店里的服務(wù)和人員都非常熟稔;再有的就可能只是在旅館的窗邊擺些花，使房間更像個(gè)家。此外，一路開(kāi)著露營(yíng)車(chē)旅行，晚上就住在車(chē)?yán)�，這就更像是真正的家了――只不過(guò)能移動(dòng)而已!
And how about maintaining relationships while in transit? Some keep contact with their friends via internet; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they"re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, even closer than siblings.
那人們?cè)诼贸檀┧髸r(shí)，又是如何維系關(guān)系的呢?有些人通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)跟朋友聯(lián)絡(luò);有些人寄信、明信片，甚至照片;還有些人可能只是打個(gè)電話問(wèn)聲好，目的僅是讓朋友們知道他們還活著，而且活得不錯(cuò)。人們發(fā)現(xiàn)了各種各樣的聯(lián)絡(luò)方式。在旅途中交朋友能幫旅者或多或少地找到一點(diǎn)家的感覺(jué)。青年旅店里的背包客也許會(huì)成為非常要好的朋友，甚至比手足還要親!
Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another home waiting to be found. Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make the place we stay home .
如今，大多數(shù)人都是離鄉(xiāng)在外工作，那么人們又如何能有歸屬感呢?一旦我們走出家門(mén)，就總有另一個(gè) 家 在等著我們?nèi)ふ摇２徽撋硖幒翁�，只要稍加努力和想像，我們就能把棲身之地營(yíng)造成一個(gè) 家 !
