Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning. It’s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. 谨记，我的年轻人，你们必须工作.不管你是使锄头还是用笔，也不管是推手推车还是编记账簿，也不管你是种地还是编辑报纸，是拍卖师亦或是作家，都必须有一份工作，并为之努力奋斗.如果仔细观察周围的人，你就会发现，那些工作最努力的人最有可能安享晚年而无须去工作.不要害怕超负荷的工作会缩短你的寿命，不足三十岁的年龄，你的承受能力远不止如此.如果说真的有人过早送命，那完全是因为他们在晚上六点结束工作，却要在外流连到凌晨两点才归家.我的年轻人，正是晚上六点到凌晨两点的这段时间的生活毁了他们自己.工作会增加你的食欲，工作会使你安然入睡，工作将会使你心满意足地享受假日. There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as “old So-and-So’s boy”. Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn’t know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you. 有的年轻人不工作，但世界并不会因他们自豪。它不知道他们的姓名，甚至简单地将他们概括为“老令人讨厌者的男孩 ” 。没有人喜欢他们;伟大，繁忙的世界不知道他们在那里。因此，找出哪些你想成为和做的，脱下你的外衣，把粉尘抛在世界上。越是繁忙的你越是少受伤害，甜蜜将成为您的睡眠，光明和幸福着您的假期，更好地满足你的意志世界。 高中生必背英语美文篇二 青春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. 青春不是年华，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，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 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. 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 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. 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 Whether 60 or 16, there is in every being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. 无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80. 一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。 高中生必背英语美文篇三 两种时间观念Two views of times Imagine that you spent your whole life at a single house.Each day of the same hour you entered an artificially-lit room,undressed and took up the same positioning in front of a motion picture camera.It photographed one frame of you per day,every day of your life. On your seventy-second birthday,the reel of film was shown.You saw yourself growing and aging over seventy-two years in less than half an hour(27.4minutes at sixteen frames per second). Images of this sort ,though terrifying, are helpful in suggesting unfamiliar but useful perspectives of time. They may ,for example ,symbolize the telescoped ,almost momentary charater of the past as seen through the eyes of an anxious or disaffected individual. Or they may suggest the remarkable brevity of our lifes in the cosmic scale of time. If the estimated age of the cosmos were shorted to seventy-two years, a human life would take about ten seconds. 设想你在同一间房子里度过了一生。每天在同一时刻，你进入一间人工照明的房间，脱去衣服，在摄影机前摆同一姿势。在你一生所有的日子里，摄影机每天给你拍下一个镜头。在你72岁生日那天，放映这部影片。不到半个小时(每秒16个镜头，总共27.4分钟)，你就看完了自己在72年里的“兴衰”。这样的图像尽管让人惧怕，却能向我们说明那陌生而有用的时间概念。比方说，它们可能象征着转瞬即逝的过去的缩影，如同在一个忧心忡忡或愤愤不平的人眼中所见的那样。或者它们可能说明了在宇宙的时间里，我们生命的异常短暂。如果将宇宙的估计年龄缩短到72年，人的一生可能只有10秒钟。 But look at time the other way. Each day is a minor eternity of over 86000 seconds. During each second, the number of distinct molecular functions going on within the human body is comparable to the mumber of seconds in the estimated age of the cosmos, A few seconds are long enough for a revolutionary idea, a startling communication, a baby's conception, a wounding insult, a sudden death. Depending on how we think of them, our lives can be infinitely long or infinitely short. 但是从另一个角度看时间，每天都有86, 000多秒的小永恒。每一秒钟，人体内所进行的不同的分子作用的次数可与宇宙估计年龄中的秒钟数相比。几秒钟的时间已足够酝酿一场革命、进行一次惊人的沟通、孕育一个婴孩、制造一次伤人的侮辱、造成一起突然死亡事件。我们的寿命可以是无限长久，也可以是权其短暂，这取决于我们怎么看待这一切。

It brings us back to life and it asks of me, how, now, will I live? A friend works at a hospice, and recently she cared for a man who just had days left. They talked about his childhood, she tells me, and then she asked him what makes life good? She wrote down his words.It's "when we assume nothing," he said, "when we give more than we take, when we need less, when we *** ile often, when we dream big, when we laugh frequently, and when we find fort in knowing how blessed we are.How blessed we are. The poet Rilke said, "Being here is so much." And whether you believe death is the end or, like me, that it is only the beginning, life is surely not about the time we have left - days, weeks, years? - but about the time we have now. 可能只有当我们全然接受人生必死的现实，才能意识到当下的人生是多么鲜活。死亡让人省视，让人回归生命。它诘问我要怎样生活。有一个在收容所工作的朋友告诉我，最近她照顾过一个只有数天生命的人。他们谈及了他的孩提时期，她问病人，是什么让生命美好?原话如下：“当我们不理所当然，当我们给予多过索取，当我们少欲少求，当我们常常微笑，当我们梦想远大，当我们时时开怀，当我们意识到人生多么宝贵而身心愉悦。”人生多么宝贵。诗人Rilke说，“活着，幸甚至哉。” 不管你认为死亡是终结，或者像我一样，认为死亡是开始，生命显然不在于我们还能活多久——几天，几周，几年?——而在于我们活着的当下这一刻。 阅读 做最好的自己 If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill, 如果你当不了山巅的一棵劲松， Be a scrub in the valley-but be 就做山谷里的灌木--但一定 The best little scrub by the side of the rill; 要做溪边最棒的一棵; Be a bush if you can't be a tree. 估一棵灌木，如果你成不了树。 If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass, 如果你当不了灌木，就做一株小草， And some highway happier make; 给路边带去更多欢笑; If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass- 如果你当不了大梭鱼，就做一尾小鲈鱼 But the liveliest bass in the lake! --但要做湖里最活泼的那条! We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew, 我们不能全当船长，总得有人做船员， There's something for all of us here. 但我们每个人都有事可做， There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do, 有大事去做，有小事去做， And the task you must do is the near. 我们必须着眼于眼前。 If you can't be a highway then just be a trail, 如果你当不了大道，就做一条小径， If you can't be the sun be a star; 如果你当不了太阳，就做一颗星星; It isn't by size that you win or you fail- 胜负不在于大小-- Be the best of whatever you are! 不论做什么，一定要做到最好! 学习 展翅高飞 Spread Your Wings Close your eyes, open your heart, 闭上眼睛，开启心扉， Concentrate hard, get ready to start. 集中精力，准备出发。 It is almost time to lift off and fly. 几乎是振翅起飞的时候了。 Believe in yourself and you'll fly very high. 相信自己，你会飞得很高。 Open your wings, spread them out. 张开羽翼，展开翅膀。 This is what flying is all about. 这是飞行的全部。 I know you can make it through this test. 我知道你能通过这个测试。 e on now.
