英语短篇美文 篇1
a group of colleagues got together to visit their old university professor.conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life .offering his guests coffee ,the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many styles -porcelain,plastic,glass ,some expensive, some exquisite ,telling them to help themselves to the coffee.when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand ,the professor said:if you noticed ,all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. while it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves ,that is the source of your problems and stress.
indeed, what all of us really want is coffee, not the cup .we consciously go for the best cups,and then we begin eying other's cups.so is our life. life is the coffee,the jobs ,money and position in society are the cups. they are just tools to hold our life and the cups can't change the quality of the life we live.
sometimes,by concentrating only on the cup ,we fail to enjoy the coffee god has provided us .god just brews the coffee ,not the cups. so enjoy our coffee!
the happiest people don't have the best of everything,and they just make the best of everything.so love generously !care deeply! live simply! leave the rest to the god !

英语短篇美文 篇5
I remember quite clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in 1)measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been 2)longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely 3)conscious, you said: “Our story is ending.”
The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，你只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的故事已到尽头。
雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。但我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，我知道生命正离我而去。
英语短篇美文 篇6
There is so much I have not been, so much I have not seen.
生命中，有那么多我未曾经历过，有那么多我未曾见识过。
I have not thought and have not done or felt enough—the early sun, rain and the seasonal delight of flocks of ducks and geese in flight, the mysteries of late-at-night. I still need time to read a book, write poems, paint a picture, look at scenes and faces dear to me. There is something more to be of value—something I should find within myself—as peace of mind, patience, grace and being kind. I shall take and I shall give, while yet, there is so much to live for—rainbows, stars that gleam, the fields,the hills, the hope, the dream the truth that one must seek.
有很多事情，我未曾想够、做够或体会够——朝阳、雨水、由成群飞翔的鸭鹅带来的季节性喜悦以及那些午夜的神秘。我还需要时间读书、写诗、作画、观赏景色以及我所爱的脸庞。还有更多具有价 值的东西——那些我应该在自己内心发现的东西——心灵的宁静、耐心、优雅与仁慈。我要获取，我也要施予，然而还有许多值得为之而活——彩虹、闪烁的星星、 田野、山丘、希望、梦想以及人必须追求的真理。
I’ll stay here—treasure every day and love the world in my own way!
我会在此——珍惜每一个时日并且用自己的方式惜爱这个世界！
英语短篇美文 篇7
我的心跳急剧加速，我径直地看着拉玛的眼睛，问她，“那个男孩是不是有一天告诉你，‘明天不要给我送苹果了，我要被送到另一个集中营了’？”
“对呀，你怎么知道的。”拉玛的声音有点颤抖，“告诉我，赫尔曼，你到底是怎么知道的啊？”
我抓住她的手说，“因为我就是那个男孩啊，拉玛。”透过时间的面纱，我们认出了那藏在眼睛深处的灵魂，那是我们永远也无法停止爱恋的亲人。最后，我说：“拉玛，我再也不想和你分开了。我想要永远和你在一起。亲爱的，你能嫁给我吗？”
It is cold, so bitter cold, on this dark, winter day in 1942. But it is no different from any other day in this Nazi concentration camp. I stand shivering in my thin rags, still in disbelief that this nightmare is happening. I am just a young boy. I should be playing with friends; I should be going to school; I should be looking forward to a future, to growing up and marrying, and having a family of my own. But those dreams are for the living, and I am no longer one of them. Instead, I am almost dead, surviving from day to day, from hour to hour, ever since I was taken from my home and brought here with tens of thousands other Jews. Will I still be alive tomorrow? Will I be taken to the gas chamber tonight?
英语短篇美文 篇8
Friday and the Thirteenth
Friday-the Thirteenth has long been considered extremely unlucky because it has some bad associations which came from mythology,tale of the Bible,and the customs and habits. According to the Bible,the Lord God created the first man,Adam.Then he took a rib from Adam's body and out of it created the first woman, Eve. It was said that Adam was created on a Friday and it was on Friday that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit,and on a Friday they died.
Friday was also the common day in England for executing criminals , for which it was sometimes known as Hanging Day.
From the old Norse myth people got the idea that 13 people sitting at a table to have a dinner was unlucky. And this superstition was confirmed by the last supper of Christ and his disciples. Bible tells us that Christ sat down with his 12 disciples, which made up the number 13, at the last supper when Judas, one of the 12 disciples , sold his master for thirty pieces of silver. Christ was killed by nailing on the cross the following day on a Friday.

Perhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school, but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it. In my opinion, it is rather easy
if you can act on the following points.
First of all, make full use of your time and work hard. Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time past will never come back. The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study. Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day.
Secondly, use your own head and present your point of view. Credulous（轻信的）attitude will only make you take anything for granted. With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory.
Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc. don’t ignore the harm of all work and no play. Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying.
To be a good student is easier said than done, for it needs a student’s consistent efforts. But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it.
英语短篇美文 篇10
Where do you like to live, in the city or in the country?
Most cities are centers of economy, trade, transportation or culture. With the development of economy and society, more and more people have flooded into the cities, which make the scale of the cities larger and larger. Surely, it is very convenient for shopping, education, business and so on. But it also has many disadvantages: the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city; the big factories, too many cars, buses and trucks pollute the clean air; too much noise can make people mad. To live in the city, one even can’t get enough room for living.
To live in the country is another thing. You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully, own a spacious house with a big backyard, and relax yourself in quietness. But when you want to go shopping, or take your child to school, perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation, its remoteness…I am an ordinary person. I am always longing for the peaceful idyllic（田园诗般的） life of the countryside.

Ah! Beautiful winter, you like a picture can not be seen, not finished.

Libra the Scales is a Spring constellation, and can be best viewed in the night sky during the month of May.
The Constellation Libra-The Scales
Mythology: Libra - The Scales
During the Golden Age, the legendary first period of human existence, Astraea, the Roman Goddess of justice, lived on the earth, mingling among the many mortal beings. In the pans of her great golden scales, she heavily weighed the good and evil deeds of men and women, thereby deciding their many different fates. As Astraea became increasingly offended by the wickedness of her citizens, she decided to flee from the corrupt civilization, and returned to the heavens, joining Demeter as the constellation of the Virgin Goddess. Astraea abandoned civilization so hurriedly that she left behind her golden scales of justice. The Romans, in fear of her judgment, created the constellation of Libra from the ancient Scorpion"s claws so that The Scales would always be nearby in the sky.

My friend Debbie’s two daughters were in high school when she experienced severe flu-like symptoms. Debbie visited her family doctor, who told her the flu bug had passed her by. Instead, she had been touched by the “love bug” and was now pregnant.
The birth of Tommy, a healthy, beautiful son, was an event for celebration, and as time went by, it seemed as though every day brought another reason to celebrate the gift of Tommy’s life. He was sweet, thoughtful, fun-loving and a joy to be around.
One day when Tommy was about five years old, he and Debbie were driving to the neighborhood mall. As is the way with children, out of nowhere, Tommy asked, “Mom, how old were you when I was born?”
“Thirty-six, Tommy. Why?” Debbie asked, wondering what his little mind was contemplating.
“What a shame!” Tommy responded.
“What do you mean?” Debbie inquired, more than a little puzzled. Looking at her with love-filled eyes, Tommy said, “Just think of all those years we didn’t know each other.

英语短篇美文 篇15
Nasrudin is walking past a cave when he sees a yogi, deep in meditation, and he asks the yogi what he is searching for. The yogi says: I study the animals and have learned many lessons from them that can transform a mans life.
A fish once saved my life, Nasrudin replies. If you teach me everything you know, I will tell you how it happened.
The Yogi is astonished; only a holy man could be saved by a fish. And he decides to teach Nasrudin everything he knows. When he has finished, he says to Nasrudin: Now that I have taught you everything, I would be proud to know how a fish saved your life.
Very simple, says Nasrudin, I was almost dying of hunger when I caught it and, thanks to that fish, I had enough food for three days.

瑜伽士惊叹不已。只有圣人才会为鱼所救。他决定将自己所知的倾囊相授给纳斯尔丁。
当他结束后，他问那斯尔丁：
“现在我把知道的都告诉你了，如果能知道鱼怎么会救你，我会感到非常荣幸。”
“很简单，”纳斯尔丁说：“抓到它的时候我已经差点饿死了，感谢那条鱼，我接下来的三天都不愁没吃的。”

When times become difficult (and you know they sometimes will), remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness. Remember how it made you feel, and you will have the strength you need to get through any trial. When life throws you one more obstacle than you think you can handle, remember something you achieved through perseverance and by struggling to the end.
In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome each obstacle brought your way. When you find yourself drained and depleted of energy, remember to find a place of sanctuary and rest. Take the neccessary time in your own life to dream your dreams and renew your energy, so you'll be ready to face each new day. When you feel tension building, find something fun to do.
You'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate and your thoughts will become clearer. When you're faced with so many negative and draining situations, realize how minuscule problems will seem when you view your life as a whole--and remember the positive things.

灰尘是一件让人很讨厌的东西。如果没有灰尘，主妇们就不用再劳累地收拾房间了。然而灰尘的存在，并不单单是给人烦扰的。事实上，如果没有灰尘，我们将失去很多美好的事物，比如美丽的日落…… 这又是为什么呢?下文将为您解答这个问题。
Most of us who have ever cleaned a house would be much happier if there were less dust.
However, without dust there would be less rainfall and sunsets would be less beautiful.
Rain is formed when water molecules in the air collect around particles of dust. When the collected water becomes heavy enough the water droplet falls to the earth as rain. Thus water vapor could be much less likely to turn to rain without the dust particles.
The water vapor and dust particles also serve to reflect the rays of the sun. At sunrise and sunset, when the sun is below the horizon, the dust and water vapor molecules reflect the longer, red, wavelengths of light such that we can see them for more time (starting earlier in the case of sunrise and lasting longer in the case of sunset) than any of the other wavelengths. The more dust particles in the air the more colorful the sunrise or sunset.
英语短篇美文 篇20
Man and nature are interactive (相互作用的) forces.
Looking back along the river of history, we may find that harmony used to exist between people and nature. At that time nature was pure field to be ploughed, sown and harvested. Man respected nature and was one part of nature.
It seems that people today are masters of natureg Nature is torn into pieces. While we are disrupting(破坏) the order of the natural world, we are the ultimate victims, for nature is seeking its revenge(报复). Disappearing forests, drying rivers, polluted soil and worsening climate have punished greedy human beings. We have taken too much from nature, and given back too little.
Looking forward to the future, when we gain reasoning, when we remember the deep interdependent relationship between people and nature, when citizens of the world work persistently to protect nature, then nature will be our friend instead of our slave or servant. Sure, people can live in harmony with nature, with commitment, hard work and new technology.

英语短篇美文 篇22
Self-talk is a software, which when properly loaded onto our mind directs ourselves for better results and a healthy mind. Actually many times in our life, we find others advising us to do better in studies, sports, life etc. We usually get bugged by these people and blank our ears out of their constructive suggestions. It is because it doesn't come from within us. And when something comes from within you, you always try your best to do justice to it. Self-talk can thus ameliorate our status.Each one of us has some good points and some bad ones. Though we hardly admit in pubic, we know in our mind that we could do better in some areas of our personal landscape. This get better attitude can be converted into a practical reality using self-talk.
自我交谈是一个软件，当它被恰如其分地转载我们的思想时，它就能指引我们得到好的结果和一个健康的心态。实际上我闪在生活中常发觉别人劝告自己要在学习、体育和生活等方面做得更好。我们经常对别人在我们耳边的唠叨感到厌烦，对富有建设性的建议也听不进去。这是因为这不是来自我们内心的声音。当这个声音来自你的内心时，你就会全力以赴去实现它。因此，与自己对话可以改善我们的现状。每个人都有优点和弱点。虽然我们不会在公共场合承认，我们清楚自己在个人生活的某些方面可以做得更好。通过自我交谈我们可以做得更好，这个观点就能在生活中变为现实。

To love you is to cherish the warmth of your arms, the sweetness of your kiss, the friendliness of your smile, the loving sound in your voice, and the happiness we share.
To love you is to never forget the adversity we have overcome, the tears we have shed, the plans we have made, the problems we have solved, and the pain of separation.
To love you is to remember joyfully the days we made memorable, the moments that will live forever in our hearts, the dreams we hope for, the feelings we have for each other, the caresses and touches of love, and the exhilaration of love that fills our hearts.

I was riding the subway and happened to be seated between two young guys.我当时正在坐地铁，我两边各坐了一个年轻的男孩。
The one on the right eyed the slightly grungy BandAid on my thumb and said, “You should really change that, you know. You have to keep it clean.”坐在右边的男孩看了下我大拇指上已经有点脏的创可贴，然后说：“你知道吗？你真的该把它换一换了。你得让那里保持干净。”
Then the one on my left said, “Here, I have one,” and pulled a fresh BandAid out of his knapsack. “I keep them on me because I’m always hurting myself.” 然后，坐在我左边的男孩说：“我这有一个，拿去吧，”接着，他从背包里拿出了一个新的邦迪创可贴。“我通常都带着它们，因为我经常把自己弄伤。”
Incredulous, I thanked him, changed my bandage, and got off at my stop feeling pretty good about people, life, and New York City.带着怀疑的态度，我感谢了他，然后换掉了我的创可贴；当我下车的时候，我心情很好，同时觉得其他人、生命、纽约市都好棒。

And there is evil.同时也有邪恶。

英语短篇美文 篇27
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

英语短篇美文 篇29
In smoky clubs, bars and cafes across America and Europe people are all doing the same thing: enjoying the inventivesounds and style of jazz.
在美国和欧洲那些烟雾弥漫的俱乐部、酒吧和咖啡馆中，人们都在做着同一件事情：享受着爵士乐的独特乐音和曲调。
Jazz is an advanced art form with a rich lustory . It has been called Americas classical music. Why? Well, for one, its been around for a long time-over 100 years. Also, its reputation for complicated improvisationmeans its often approved of by academics in a way that pop is not,
爵士乐是一种高尚的、历史悠久的艺术形式。它曾被称做美国的古典音乐。为什么呢?原因之一是它的历史源远流长 有100多年之久。同时，它以复杂莫测的即兴创作著称，这意味着在某种方式上它总是能够得到学者们的认可，而流行音乐则不行。
New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz. It started among the big brass bands of the citys black ghettos at the end of the 19th century. The new music took inspiration from two very different musical traditions. It combined the rhythm of West African dance music with the harmony and melody of European classical.
新奥尔良是爵士乐的发源地。爵士乐于19世纪晚期兴起于城市黑人区的大铜管乐队。这种新音乐的灵感来源于两种极其不同的音乐传统。它将非洲西部舞蹈音乐中的节奏和欧洲古典音乐中的和声和旋律结合在了一起。
英语短篇美文 篇30
if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.
如果你想理解什么是逆境，就去摘两颗从同一棵树上年龄相同的橡树果，并且把它们种到不同的地方。
第一颗种在浓密的树林当中，另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。
here's what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it may seem the tree isn't growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground. it's as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.
事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但此时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。
