　　高考英语经典美文：雨中的记忆

　　She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal—Mart。 She must have been 6 years old， this beautiful brown haired， freckle—faced image of innocence。 It was pouring outside。 The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters， so much in a hurry to hit the Earth， it has no time to flow down the spout。

　　她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛结束购物。这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌涨上地面。

　　We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal—Mart。 We all waited， some patiently， others irritated， because nature messed up their hurried day。 I am always mesmerized by rainfall。 I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world。 Memories of running， splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day。

　　我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家都在等待，有人很耐心，有人很烦躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总引起我的遐思。我出神地听着、看着老天冲刷洗涤这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我一天的焦虑。

　　Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in， “Mom， let's run through the rain。" she said。

　　小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧。”她说。

　　"What？" Mom asked。

　　“什么？”母亲问。

　　"Let's run through the rain！" She repeated。

　　“我们在雨里跑吧，”她重复。

　　"No， honey。 We'll wait until it slows down a bit。" Mom replied。

　　“不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走。”母亲回答说。

　　This young child waited about another minute and repeated： "Mom， let's run through the rain。"

　　过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。”

　　"We'll get soaked if we do。" Mom said。

　　“这样的话我们会湿透的。”母亲说。

　　"No， we won't， Mom。 That's not what you said this morning，" the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm。"

　　“不会的，妈妈。你今天早上不是这样说的。”小女孩一边说一边拉着母亲的手。

　　"This morning？ When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet？"

　　“今天早上？我什么时候说过我们淋雨不会湿啊？”

　　"Don't you remember？ When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer， you said， If God can get us through this， he can get us through anything！"

　　“你不记得了吗？你和爸爸谈他的癌症时，你不是说‘如果上帝让我们闯过这一关，那我们就没有什么过不去。’”

　　The entire crowd stopped dead silent。 I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain。 We all stood silently。 No one came or left in the next few minutes。 Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say。

　　人群一片寂静。我发誓，除了雨声，你什么都听不到。我们都静静地站着。接下来的几分钟没有一个人走动。母亲停了一下，想着应该说些什么。

　　Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly。 Some might even ignore what was said。 But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life。 Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith。 "Honey， you are absolutely right。 Let's run through the rain。 If get wet， well maybe we just needed washing。" Mom said。 Then off they ran。

　　有人也许会对此一笑了之，或者责备这孩子的不懂事，有人甚至不把她的话放在心上。但这却是一个小孩子一生中需要被肯定的时候。若受到鼓舞，此时孩子单纯的信任就会发展成为坚定的信念。“亲爱的，你说得对，我们跑过去吧。如果淋湿了，那也许是因为我们的确需要冲洗一下了。”母亲说。然后她们就冲出去了。

　　We all stood watching， smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and。 They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case。 They got soaked。 But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars。 And yes， I did。 I ran。 I got wet。 I needed washing。Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions， they can take away your money， and they can take away your health。 But no one can ever take away your precious memories。 So， don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day！

　　我们站在那里，笑着看她们飞快地跑过停着的汽车。她们把购物袋高举过头想挡挡雨，但还是湿透了。好几个人像孩子般尖叫着，大笑着，也跟着冲了出去，奔向自己的车子。当然，我也这样做了，跑了出去，淋湿了。我也需要接受洗礼。环境或其他人可以夺去你的物质财富，抢走你的金钱，带走你的健康，但没有人可以带走你珍贵的回忆。因此，记得要抓紧时间，抓住机会每天都给自己留下一些回忆吧

　　To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven。 I hope you still take the time to run through the rain。

　　世间万物皆有自己的季节，做任何事情也有一个恰当的时机。希望你有机会在雨中狂奔一回。

　　高考英语经典美文：装满吻的盒子

　　The story goes that some time ago， a man punished his 3—year—old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper。 Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree。 Nevertheless， the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said， "This is for you， Daddy。”

　　有这样一个故事，爸爸因为三岁的女儿浪费了一卷金色的包装纸而惩罚了她。家里很缺钱，当孩子想要用包装纸装饰一个挂在圣诞树上的盒子时，爸爸生气了。然而，第二天早上小女孩把盒子作为礼物送给了爸爸，“这是给你的，爸爸。”

　　The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction， but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty。 He yelled at her， stating， "Don't you know， when you give someone a present， there is supposed to be something inside？ The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried， "Oh， Daddy， it's not empty at all。 I blew kisses into the box。 They're all for you， Daddy。"

　　女儿的这个行为让爸爸感到尴尬。但是当他发现盒子是空的时候，他的怒火再一次燃烧了。他对女儿喊道，“难道你不知道给别人礼物的.时候，里面应该放有东西吗？”多女孩抬头看着父亲，眼里含着泪水，“爸爸，盒子不是空的。我把吻放在了盒子里，都是给你的，爸爸。”

　　The father was crushed。 He put his arms around his little girl， and he begged for her forgiveness。 Only a short time later， an accident took the life of the child。 It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and， whenever he was discouraged， he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there。

　　爸爸感动极了，他搂住女儿，恳请她的原谅。之后不久，一场事故夺走了小女孩的生命。据说，父亲便将那个小金盒子放在床头，一直陪伴着他的余生。无论何时他感到气馁或者遇到难办的事情，他就会打开礼盒，取出一个假想的吻，记起漂亮女儿给予了自己特殊的爱。

　　In a very real sense， each one of us， as humans beings， have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses。。。 from our children， family members， friends， and God。 There is simply no other possession， anyone could hold， more precious than this。

　　从一个非常真实的意义上说，我们每个人都被赠与过一个无形的金色礼盒，那里面装满了来自子女，家人，朋友及上帝无条件的爱与吻。人们所能拥有的最珍贵的礼物莫过于此了。

　　高考英语经典美文：圣诞之夜

　　A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as Christmas present。 On Christmas eve， when Paul came out of his office， a street urchin was looking around the shining new car， admiring it。

　　我有个朋友，保罗，在圣诞节那天收到了一份来自他哥哥的礼物，一辆轿车。在圣诞前夜，当保罗从他的办公室走出来时，一个街头顽童正围着他的新车打转地看，非常羡慕。

　　"Is this your car， Mister？" he said。

　　“这是您的汽车吗，先生？”他说。

　　Paul nodded， "My brother gave it to me for Christmas。"

　　保罗点了点头，“我哥哥给我的圣诞礼物。

　　The boy was astounded， "You mean your brother gave it to you， and didn't cost you anything？"

　　小男孩诧异了，“你是说你哥哥给你的，不用花你一分钱？”

　　"Boy， I wish。。。" he hesitated。

　　“兄弟，我希望。。。”他迟疑了。

　　Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for。 He was going to wish he has a brother like that。 But what the lad said jarred Paull all the way down his heels。

　　保罗当然清楚他希望什么，他希望他也有个那样的哥哥。但这个小家伙说的话，使保罗大吃了一惊。

　　"I wish，" the boy went on， "that I could be a brother like that。"

　　“我希望，”小男孩继续说道，“我可以做一个那样的哥哥。”

　　Paul looked at the boy in astonishment， then inpulsivly he added， "Would you like to take a ride in my car？"

　　保罗惊奇地看着小男孩，然后激动地说了句，“你想不想做我的车去兜兜风？”

　　"Oh， yes。 I'd love that。"

　　“哦，想！我喜欢！”

　　After a short ride， the boy turned his eyes aglow， said， "Mister， would you mind driving in front of my house？"

　　跑了一小段路后，小男孩眼光水灵闪闪地说道，“先生，您可以把车开到我家门前吗？”

　　Paul smiled a little。 He thought he knew what the lad wanted。 He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big automobile。 But Paul was wrong again。

　　保罗微微一笑。他觉得他知道这个小家伙想要干什么，他想要向他的邻居炫耀他可以坐一辆大汽车回家。但是，保罗又一次想错了。

　　"Would you stop at those with two steps？" the boy asked。

　　“您可以在那有两个台阶的房子前停下吗？” 小男孩问道。

　　He ran up stairs。 Then in a little while， Paul heard him coming back， but he was not coming fast。 He was carrying his little crippled brother。 He set him down on the bottom step。 Then a sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car。

　　他跑着上楼去了。然后一小会儿，保罗听到他回来的脚步声，但他没再用跑的了。保罗看见他正搀扶着他的跛脚的弟弟，他扶着他坐在最底层的台阶上，然后拥抱着他，指着这部车。

　　"There she is， buddy， just like I told you upstairs。 His brother gave it to him for Christmas and didn't cost hime a cent。 And some day， I'm gonna give you one just like it。 Then you can see for yourself all the prettiest things in the windows that I was trying to tell you about。"

　　“小弟，那就是我在楼上跟你说的那部车。他哥哥给他的圣诞礼物，不用花他一分钱。将来某天我也要给你一部像那样的车，那样你就可以自己去看我以前尽力想让你知道的那些窗边的圣诞饰品了。”

　　Paul got off and lifted the lad into the front of his car。 The shinning eyed old brother crimbed in beside him。 And three of them began a memorable holiday ride。

　　保罗下车把跛脚的小孩抱上了车的前座，他的眼睛水灵灵的哥哥爬上了车，坐到了他旁边。然后他们三个开始一段令人难忘的旅程。

　　That Christmas eve， Paul learned what Jesus meant， when he said， "It is more blessed to give than to receive。。。"

　　那个圣诞前夜，保罗收获了很多，他真正体会了耶稣所说的那句话，“施舍比接受更有福。。。”

　　高考英语经典美文：不凡的连衣裙

　　“Do you like my dress？"she asked of a passing stranger。"My mommy made it just for me。"She said with a tear in her eye。

　　"你喜欢我的连衣裙吗？“她问一位正走过她身边的陌生人。”我妈妈专给我做的。”她说道，眼里冒出了泪珠。

　　"Well，I think it's very pretty，so tell me little one，why are you crying？"

　　“嗯，我认为你的裙子真漂亮。告诉我，小姑娘，你为什么哭呢？”

　　With a quiver in her voice the little girl answered。"After Mommy made me this dress，she had to go away。"

　　小姑娘声音有些颤抖，回答道：“我妈妈给我做完这条裙子后就不得不离开了。”

　　"Well，now，"said the lady，"with a little girl like you waiting for her，I'm sure she'll be right back。"

　　“哦，是这样，”陌生的女士说，“有你这样一个小姑娘等着她，我敢肯定她很快就会回来的。”

　　"No Ma'am ，you don't understand，"said the child through her tears，"my daddy said she's up in heaven now with Grandfather。"

　　“不，女士，您不明白，”女孩透过泪水说，“我爸说她现在和我爷爷在天堂里。”

　　Finally the woman realized what the child meant，and why she was crying。Kneeling down she gently cradled the child in her arms and together they cried for the mommy that was gone。

　　女士终于明白孩子的意思了，也明白她为什么哭泣。她跪下，温柔地把女孩搂在怀里，她们一起为离去的妈妈哭泣。

　　Then suddenly the little girl did something that the woman thought was a bit strange。She stopped crying，stepped back from the woman and began to sing。She sang so softly that it was almost a whisper。 It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard，almost like the song of a very small bird。

　　忽然小姑娘又做了件让女士感到有点奇怪的事。她停住了哭泣，从女士怀抱中抽出身，向后退了一步，然后开始唱歌。她唱得如此轻柔，几乎像章晨低语。这是女士听到过的最甜美的声音，简直就像一只非常小的小鸟在吟唱。

　　After the child stopped singing she explained to the lady，"My mommy used to sing that song to me before she went away，and she made me promise to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop。"

　　小女孩唱完后解释说：“妈妈离去前经常给我唱这支歌，她让我答应她我一哭就唱这支歌，这样我就不哭了。”

　　"See，"she exclaimed，"it did，and now my eyes are dry！"

　　“您瞧，”她惊叫道，“真管用，现在我的眼睛里没有眼泪了！”

　　As the woman turned to go，the little girl grabbed her sleeve，"Ma'am，can you stay just a minute？I want to show you something。"

　　女士转身要走时，小女孩抓住她的衣袖：“女士，您能再停留一小会儿吗？我想给您看点东西。”

　　"Of course，"she answered，"what do you want me to see？"

　　“当然可以，”她回答，“你想要我看什么呢？”

　　Pointing to a spot on her dress，she said，"Right here is where my mommy kissed my dress，and here，"pointing to another spot，"and here is another kiss， and here，and here。Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would have her kisses for every booboo'that made me cry。"

　　小女孩指着裙子上的一处，说：“就在这里，我妈妈亲了我的裙子，还有这里，”她指着另外一处，“这里有另外一个吻，还有这里，这里。妈妈说她把所有这些吻都留在我的连衣裙上，这样我遇到什么事哭了，就会有她的亲吻。”

　　Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress，no，she was looking at a mother…who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurts that she knew her daughter would get。

　　这时，女士意识到在她眼前的不是一件连衣裙，不是的，她在凝视一位母亲……这位母亲知道她将离去，无法随时守候在女儿身边，吻去她知道女儿必然会遇到的种种伤心事。

　　So she took all the love she had for her beautiful little girl and put them into this dress，that her child now so proudly wore。

　　所以她将所有对她美丽女儿的爱倾注在这件连衣裙上。现在，女儿如此骄傲地穿在身上。

　　She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress。 She saw a child wrapped…in her mother's love。

　　她看到的不再是身穿一件简单的连衣裙的小女孩。她看到的是一个……被妈妈的爱裹着的孩子。

　　高考英语经典美文：快乐之门

　　Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever—widening circle of ripples。 As Stevenson has said， being happy is a duty。

　　快乐就像一块为了激起阵阵涟漪而丢进池塘的小石头。正好史蒂文森所说，快乐是一种责任。

　　There is no exact definition of the word happiness。 Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons。 The key is not wealth or physical well—being， since we find beggars， invalids and so—called failures， who are extremely happy。

　　快乐这个词并没有确切的定义，快乐的人快乐的理由多种多样。快乐的关键并不是财富或身体健康，因为我们发现有些乞丐，残疾人和所谓的失败者也都非常快乐。

　　Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend。 But staying happy is an accomplishment， a triumph of soul and character。 It is not selfish to strive for it。 It is， indeed， a duty to ourselves and others。

　　快乐是一种意外的收获，但保持快乐却是一种成就，一种灵性的胜利。努力追寻快乐并不自私，实际上，这是我们对自己和他人应尽的责任。

　　Being unhappy is like an infectious disease。 It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer。 He soon finds himself alone， miserable and embittered。 There is， however， a cure so simple as to seem， at first glance， ridiculous； if you don’t feel happy， pretend to be！

　　不快乐就像传染病，它使得人们都躲避不快乐的人。不快乐的人很快就会发现自己处于孤独，悲惨，痛苦的境地。然而，有一种简单得看似荒谬的治病良方：如果你不快乐，就假装你很快乐！

　　It works。 Before long you will find that instead of repelling people， you attract them。 You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will。

　　这很有效。不久你就会发现，别人不再躲着你了，相反，你开始吸引别人了。你会发觉，做一块能激起好意涟漪的小石头有多么值得。

　　Then the make—believe becomes a reality。 You possess the secret of peace of mind， and can forget yourself in being of service to others。

　　然后假装就变成了现实。你拥有了使心灵平静的秘密，会因帮助他人而忘我。

　　Being happy， once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit， opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends。

　　一旦你认识到快乐是一种责任并使快乐成为习惯，通向不可思议的乐园的大门就会向你敞开，那里满是感激你的朋友。
