篇1：英語美文摘抄

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.

青春奇妙無窮，充滿魅力，充滿痛楚。青春年少的時候根本不知青春爲何物，直到青春一去不復返啦纔對青春有啦真正的認識。誰都想讓青春永駐，不忍青春離去； 眼睜睜地看着青春流逝，心中會涌起無窮的憂傷和惋惜；青春的失去是人們永遠感到悲哀的事；青春的失去是人們真正覺得悲喜交集的事；即便奇蹟出現青春復甦， 誰都不會心甘情願重度青春的歲月。

篇2：英語美文摘抄

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.

爲什麼如此？因爲在青春時代，生活充滿啦奇特而辛酸的不可思議的事。我們在青春年少時帶着悲喜交集的心情，十分強烈而不可名狀地感受到人生的奇特辛酸、不 可思議的經歷。其實質是什麼呢？其實質是這樣的：青春年少的時候，雖然殷實富足，卻非常貧窮；雖然力氣強大，卻一無所有；世間的富貴榮華觸目皆是，簡直可 以呼吸到，聞到嗅到，還可以品嚐到，心中的自信按捺不住，深切地感受到整個被陶醉啦的生活——人類迄今爲止所知道的最幸運、最富有的美好幸福的.生活， 只要我們決定向前邁步，奮發努力，便立即歸我們所有啦，並將永遠屬於我們。然而，我們知道，我們真的永遠不能抓到什麼，永遠不能獲得什麼，永遠不能佔有什 麼。一切匆匆過去，蕩然無存。我們一出手它就煙消雲散，飄然而去，一去不復返啦。於是，心中泛起陣陣隱痛，看到啦自己真實的面孔，看到啦自己未來生活的必 然走向。

概念

廣義的美文是指不帶實用目的專供直覺欣賞的作品，帶有實用目的之寫作，例如新聞、公文、論述等可統稱爲雜文。美文重感性，長於抒情；雜文重知性，長於達意，不過兩者並非截然可分，因爲雜文寫好了，可以當美文來欣賞，而美文也往往爲實用目的而寫作。

隨着網絡文化的發展，美文的概念已經不限定於某種文體，或某類內容，網絡文化是一種開放、自由的文化，給美文的概念也賦予了更多的開放自由的元素，好散文是美文，好詩歌是美文，好小說是美文，好論文是美文，一條寫得好的手機短信，或一段能讓人會心而笑的笑話也是美文，用通俗的講法，寫的好的文章，就是美文。在網絡時代的發展中，網絡時代的美文指的也就是寫的好的文章。

篇5：英語美文摘抄

three days to see

假如擁有三天光明

helen keller海倫。凱勒

all of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. i speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.

such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings what happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets

sometimes i have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. we should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. there are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean motto of “eat, drink, and be merry,” most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.

我們都讀過這樣一些動人的故事，故事裏主人公將不久於人世。長則一年，短則24小時。但是我們總是很想知道這個即將離開人世的人是決定怎樣度過他最後的日子的。當然，我所指的是有權作出選擇的自由人，不是那些活動範圍受到嚴格限制的死囚。

這一類故事會使我們思考在類似的處境下，我們自己該做些什麼？在那臨終前的幾個小時裏我們會產生哪些聯想？會有多少欣慰和遺憾呢？

有時我想，把每天都當作生命的最後一天來度過也不失爲一個很好的生命法則。這種人生態度使人非常重視人生的價值。每一天我們都應該以和善的態度、充沛的精力和熱情的欣賞來度過，而這些恰恰是在來日方長時往往被我們忽視的東西。當然，有這樣一些人奉行享樂主義的座右銘--吃喝玩樂，但是大多數人卻不能擺脫死亡來臨的恐懼。

篇6：英語美文摘抄

most of us take life for granted. we know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. we seldom think of it. the days stretch out in an endless vista. so we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.

the same lethargy, i am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. but those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. it is the same old story of not being grateful for what we conscious of health until we are ill.

i have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

now and then i have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. recently i was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and i asked her what she had observed. “nothing in particular,” she replied. i might have been incredulous had i not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago i became convinced that the seeing see little.

我們大多數人認爲生命理所當然，我們明白總有一天我們會死去，但是我們常常把這一天看得非常遙遠。當我們身體強壯時，死亡便成了難以相象的事情了。我們很少會考慮它，日子一天天過去，好像沒有盡頭。所以我們爲瑣事奔波，並沒有意識到我們對待生活的態度是冷漠的。

我想我們在運用我們所有五官時恐怕也同樣是冷漠的。只有聾子才珍惜聽力，只有盲人才能認識到能見光明的幸運。對於那些成年致盲或失陪的人來說尤其如此。但是那些聽力或視力從未遭受損失的人卻很少充分利用這些幸運的能力，他們對所見所聞不關注、不欣賞。這與常說的不失去不懂得珍貴，不生病不知道健康可貴的道理是一樣的。

我常想如果每一個人在他成年的早些時候，有幾天成爲了聾子或瞎子也不失爲一件幸事。黑暗將使他更珍惜光明；沉寂將教他知道聲音的樂趣。

有時我會試探我的非盲的朋友們，想知道他們看見了什麼。最近我的一位非常要好的朋友來看我，她剛剛在樹林裏走了很長時間，我問她看見了什麼。“沒什麼特別的，”她回答說。如不是我早已習慣了這樣的回答，我也許不會輕易相信，因爲很久以前我就相信了有眼人看不見什麼。

篇7：英語美文摘抄

genius at work

天才在工作

henry ford didn’t always pay attention in school. one day ,he and a friend took a watch apart. angry and upset, the teacher told him both to stay after school. their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. but the teacher did not know young ford’s genius. in ten minutes, this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home

ford was always interested in how things worked. he once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. then he waited to see what would happen. the water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. the explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. the young inventor was badly scalded

ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. he dreamed of a horseless carriage. when he built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.

亨利。福特在學校裏常常心不在焉。有一天，他和一個小朋友把一塊手錶拆開了。老師很生氣，讓他們放學後留下來，把表修好才能回家。當時這位老師並不知道小福特的天才。只用了十分鐘，這位機械奇才就把手錶修好，走在回家的路上了。

福特對各種東西的工作原理總是很感興趣。曾有一次，他把茶壺嘴用東西堵住，然後把茶壺放在火爐上。他便站在一邊等候着會出現什麼情況。當然，水開後變成了水蒸氣。因爲水蒸氣無處逸出，茶壺便爆炸了，因而打碎了一面鏡子和一扇窗戶。這個小發明家也被嚴重地燙傷了。

多年後，福特的好奇心和他的動手能力使他得到了回報。他曾經夢想着去製造一輛無馬行進的.車。他造成了一輛這樣的車後，運輸界發生了永久性的變化。

篇8：英語美文摘抄

一、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. Likewise, 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.

二、Once learning stops, vegetation sets 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 cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. Whats worse, 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 worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

三、Life is full of confusing and disordering Particular time, a particular location, Do the arranged thing of ten million time in the brain, Step by step , the life is hard to avoid delicacy and stiffness No enthusiasm forever, No unexpected happening of surprising and pleasing So, only silently ask myself in mind Next happiness, when will come?

四、Dark light, just light each other. The responsibility that you and my shoulders take together, the such as one dust covers up. Afraid only afraid the light is suddenly put out in theendless dark night and Countless loneliness.

五、Always insisting. Use iron scoop is too cold; Use porcelain scoop is too weak; A wood scoop, engraved veins safely, engraved sky’s wasteland and glebe’s old. Just as happiness born in the years, not insolent, the every act and move blooms quietly.

六、Hope is always more expect, engrave a bone is a fat lot looked Clear can touch, just don t know where end is. Can not find to come to the road of hour, just because of eying foot too very carefully.

七、Then the wandering soul wild crane stands still the memory river Listen to whistle play tightly ring slowly, Water rises a ship to go medium long things of the past. Wait for a ship’s person Wait for one and other, But hesitate always should ascend which ship Missed Had to consign the hope to next time, Finally what to wait for until has no boats and ships to come and go, Sunset west .

八、Six words really talk to solve each round to return to bitterness. Heart of lotus opens, body side of genial breezes walks. Constantly, only one pond water. Ripple but have no language, guarded happiness of this pond. This is from cradle to the grave one a life time.

篇11：英語美文摘抄

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I d know better.

I d really like for them to know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. I really would.

My cherished grandson, I hope you learn humility by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking.

I hope you learn to make your bed and mow the lawn and wash the car-and I hope nobody gives you a brand-new car when you are sixteen.

It will be good if at least one time you can see a baby calf born, and you have a good friend to be with you if you ever have to put your old dog to sleep.

I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.

I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it is all right to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he s scared, I hope you ll let him.

And when you want to see a Disney movie and your kid brother wants to tag along, I hope you take him.

I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.

If you want a slingshot, I hope your father teaches you how to make one instead of buying one. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books, and when you learn to use computers, you also learn how to add and subtract in your head.

I hope you get razzed by friends when you have your first crush on a girl, and that when you talk back to your mother you learn what Ivory soap tastes like.

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on the stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.

I hope you get sick when someone blows smoke in your face. I don t care if you try beer once, but I hope you won t like it. And if a friend offers you a joint or any drugs, I hope you are smart enough to realize that person is not your friend.

I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your grandpa or go fishing with your uncle.

I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through a neighbor s window, and that she hugs you and kisses you when you give her a plaster of pared mold of your hand.

These things I wish for you-tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness.

爺爺的期望非常簡單 幸福快樂就好

我們竭盡全力想讓我們的兒女們過得更好，而結果卻是適得其反。對我的孫輩們，我就明智得多了。

我真的希望他們能夠了解什麼是兄長傳下來的舊衣服，家制的冰淇淋，以及吃剩的肉糕。我真的希望。

我的寶貝孫子，我希望你在經受失敗的考驗之後能學會謙卑，也希望你能學會誠實，即使在沒有人注視你的時候。

我希望你能學會自己疊被子，自己刈草坪，自己洗車--我還希望在你滿十六歲時沒有人送給你一輛嶄新的轎車。

假如你至少有一次機會看見小牛犢出生，假如你不得不爲你的老狗送終，那時有一位好朋友在場爲你作伴--那樣該有多好啊！

我希望你能爲自己的所信仰與人鬥得眼青臉腫。

我希望你能和你弟弟共一間臥室--即使你在臥室中間劃一條分界線也沒關係。可是，當弟弟因爲害怕而要爬進你的被窩時，我希望你會接納他。

當你要出去看迪斯尼電影，你的小弟弟想做你的小尾巴時，我希望你能帶上他。

我希望你能和朋友們一起爬山，而在你所生活的城市裏做這項運動不會有什麼危險。

如果你想要一把彈弓，我希望你父親能教你怎樣自己做一把，而不是爲你買一把現成的。我還希望你能學會挖泥巴和讀書；而當你學會使用電腦時，你也應該學會加減法的心算。

當你第一次戀上一個女孩時，我希望你會受到朋友們的嘲弄；而當你跟你母親頂嘴時，希望她叫你嘗一嘗象牙肥皂的滋味。

但願你能在爬山時弄破膝蓋上的皮，或者在爐子上燒傷手，或者讓舌頭粘在結冰的旗杆上。

我希望吸菸者對着你的臉上噴吐煙霧時，你會感到噁心。如果你嘗試喝一次啤酒，我不會在意；但是我希望你不會喜歡上它。如果有一位朋友請你吸一口含大麻的香菸，或者任何毒品，我希望你明智地意識到他不是你的朋友。

我當然希望你能抽時間來陪你爺爺在門廊上坐一坐，或者陪你叔叔釣釣魚。

如果你把捧球扔進了鄰居的窗戶，我希望你母親懲罰你。如果你能剪掉指甲，用石膏做一隻自己的手的模型送給你媽，我希望她會給你擁抱和親吻。

我希望你能經歷：艱難的歲月，挫折和失望；希望你努力工作，幸福快樂。

Learning:A Lifelong Career

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.

Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.

學習：一生的事業（學習無止境，只有努力，努力，再努力，纔會成功）

學習之於心靈，就像食物之於身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，並擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的'推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續的學習是在信息時代中跟時代並駕齊驅的最穩當的方法，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。

一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校爲汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由於世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數日就將使人落後。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們淨化我們人格的慾望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，爲了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業。

篇13：英語美文摘抄

But the teacher cried

The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled . His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.

When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.

“Was school all right?” she asked, “Did you get along all right? did you cry?”

“Cry?” John asked. “No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!”

可是老師哭了

六歲的約翰嬌生慣養。他的父親知道這一點，可他的祖父母仍然寵着他。這孩子幾乎寸步不離他的祖母。他想要什麼不是哭，就是鬧。他第一天上學才離開祖母的懷抱。

約翰放學了，他奶奶在門口接他並問道：“學校怎麼樣？你過的好嗎？哭了沒有？”

“哭？”約翰問，“不，我沒哭，可老師哭了。”

d doubles

Teacher of Physical Education: Have you ever seen mixed doubles,boys?

Nick: Yes,sir. Quite of ten. I saw it even last night.

Teacher: Please tell us some thing about it.

Nick: Oh,sorry,sir. My father always says, “Domestic shame should not be published.”

體育老師：孩子們，你們見過男女混合雙打嗎？

尼克：見過，老師，經常見。就在昨天夜裏我還見過呢！

體育老師：那你給大家講講當時的情形吧。

尼克：啊，對不起，老師。我爸爸常說：“家醜不可外揚。”

篇14：英語美文摘抄

My first Job

My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.

I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.

我的第一份工作

我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業，考完聯考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閒着沒事，倒不如找份差事，嚐嚐獨立賺錢的快樂。

我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過於花全部由自己賺來的錢了！
