文笔好的英文散文

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 亨利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗 The day is cold,and dark,and dreary; It rains,and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold and dark and dreary; It rains and the wind is never weary; My though still cling to the moldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still,sad heart!And cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. 天冷、阴暗、沉闷； 下着雨，风也刮个不停； 藤还攀附着颓垣残壁， 每来一阵狂风，枯叶附落纷纷， 天真是阴暗而沉闷。 我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷； 下着雨，风也刮个不停； 我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事， 大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭， 天真是阴暗而沉闷。 安静吧，忧伤的心！别再悔恨； 乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂； 你命运和大家的一样， 每个人一生都得逢上阴雨， 有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。 Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗 However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。爱情的见证 Love's Witness Slight unpremeditated Words are borne By every common Wind into the Air; Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born， And in one instant give both Hope and Fear： Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind According to the Caprice of the Mind. But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses， Substantial Records to Eternity; Just Evidences，who the Truth confess, On which the Lover safely may rely； They're serious Thoughts，digested and resolv'd； And last，when Words are into Clouds devolv'd. 不加思索的轻率话语， 被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气； 随便说说，刚出口即消失， 一瞬间给人希望和恐惧： 同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠， 追随心灵无常的遐想。 但情书则是恒常的见证， 直至永恒的实体记录； 公道的证物，它道出真诚， 恋人能在其上安心依附； 它们是严肃的思想，经过深思熟虑； 当话语在云外消失，它们还将延续。 --------------------------- 从不说他做不到 We Never Told Him He Couldn't Do It My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally - but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk . The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know. In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know. He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know. Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. He just did it. 从不说他做不到 我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。 邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。 七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。每天他和大伙一块训练。也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。我们没有告诉琼尼；也许会落空，所以他不知道。 他坚持每天跑4~5英里。我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。我问他感觉怎么样，"很好。"他说。还剩下最后两英里。他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。 两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。琼尼是第六名，他成功了。他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了！

became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn’t like any more，and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be.我成了一个探寻者，想要知道自己到底是谁，又是什么让我变得独一无二。我的人生观开始改变。我需要一个坚固的基础来发展，我忍受住压力，不再做自己不喜欢做的事。而且我为真实的我感到高兴。渐渐地我越发肯定自己无可替代。每个人在这个世界上都占有一个独一无二的位置。无论别人说什么，你自己怎么想，你都是特别的。所以，不要担心自己会被取代，因为你永远是惟一的。Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That's not up to the opportunity. That's up to you. It doesn't matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it. 正如你需要空气来呼吸，你也需要机遇来获得成功。但是只吸进机遇的新鲜空气远远不够。你必须好好利用机遇。这并不取决于机遇本身，而是由你自己决定。你在什么时候得到机遇并不重要。重要的是你怎样把握机遇。The first snow came.How beautiful it was, falling so silently, all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves1) of the dead!All white save the river, that marked2) its course by a winding black line across the landscape3), and the leafless trees, that against the leaden4) sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacy5) of their branches!第一场雪降临了。真美啊！整日整夜，悄无声息地飘落，落在高山上，落在草地上，落在生者的房顶上，落在逝者的坟茔上！万物皆白，惟有河流蜿蜒成一条黑线穿过雪野，还有无叶的林木，衬映在铅灰色的天空下，此刻更显得枝桠交错，仪态万千。What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion6)! Every sound was muffled7); every noise changed to something soft and musical.No more trampling8) hoofs9), no more rattling10) wheels!Only the chiming11) of sleigh-bells12), beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.初雪飘落时，是何等的宁谧，何等的幽静！万籁俱寂，所有的噪音都化做柔和的音乐。再也听不见得得马蹄声，也听不见嘎嘎车轮声！只有雪橇的铃声如乐，似孩子们的心儿在欢快地跃动In the entire world there's nobody like me. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, or my voice.I'm special.大千世界，芸芸众生，没人与我相同。自创世伊始，从未有过像我一样的人。没人拥有和我一样的笑容；没人拥有和我一样的眼睛、鼻子、头发、双手或声音。我就是我。The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life. He told them that they cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are — and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life — can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.这位父亲说他们答得都对，因为他们都只看到了梨树生命中的一个季节。他告诉他们：不应仅凭一个季节来判断一棵树，一段时间来看一个人；最后，到所有的季节都已终结时，才能衡量一个人的本质——以及他生命中的快乐、喜悦和爱。如果你在寒冬时放弃，你将失去春之希望，夏之灿烂，秋之收获。所以，不要让一时的痛苦毁弃你所有其他的快乐。Ignore the“yes, buts”for the time being. All I want you to do right now is open your mind to the possibility that the world is made up of a countless array of experiences from the very worst to the very best. As someone once said,“A mind is like a parachute20)—it works best when open.”And here is my promise: If you open your mind, you will enjoy a more abundant and fulfilling21)life.从现在开始忘掉“是的，但是”。现在你做的就是认识到这样一种可能性，即世界是由无数从最好到最坏的经历组成的。正如有人曾说过的：“头脑就像降落伞——在打开的时候工作得最好。”我的承诺是：如果你能够广开思路，就会享受到更加丰富、更加充实的人生。We’re always on the go10)trying to accomplish so much, aren’s we? Getting groceries, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn — there’s always something. It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time, let’s make sure that we’ve not the one that others have to pretend is wearing an invisible smile.我们总是忙着去尽量完成更多的事，不是吗？买东西，打扫屋子，割院子里的草——总有些什么事。这就使我们很容易在日常生活中忘记：给自己和别人带来快乐是多么简单的事情。绽放微笑花费的精力与时间很少，让我们确保自己不会成为这样的人——别人总得假装我们有看不见的笑容。The motivation to succeed comes from the burning desire to achieve a purpose. Napoleon Hill wrote, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.成功的行动来自于那燃烧着的想要达成目的的欲望。拿破仑•希尔写道：“成功的意念能够到达个人的构想与信念所能到达的任何地方。”强烈的欲望是一切成功的起点，正如小火苗不能放出大量的热一样，一个微小的愿望也不能促成伟大的成就。I have been through the depths of poverty and sickness. When people ask me what has kept me going through the troubles that come to all of us, I always reply: "I stood yesterday. I can stand today. And I will not permit myself to think about what might happen tomorrow."my time.我曾经经历贫穷和病痛的深渊！每每人们问起我，是什么力量让我克服这些人人都会面临的困难，我总是这样回答：“我熬得过昨天，就熬得过今天。而且我决不让自己去考虑明天将会发生什么。”I have drunk the cup of life down to its very dregs7). They have only sipped the bubbles on top of it. I know things they will never know. I see things to which they are blind.It is only the women whose eyes have been washed clear with tears who get the broad vision that makes them little sisters to all the world.我品尝了生命之杯的每一滴，包括那些渣滓，而她们仅仅只是吮到了杯口的泡沫而已。我的所知、所见，她们永远不会知晓，不会看到。只有被泪水洗过眼睛的女人们，才能有更宽广的视野，这使她们能与整个世界的人们形同姐妹。1. The angry is that taking the other’s mistake to punish oneself.2. The hope of tomorrow lets us forget today’s pain.3. Shining is not the sun's patent, you also may shine.4. The only way to obtain happiness is that, cherish what you have got and forget what you haven’t got.5. You may obtain the world with love; you also may lose the world with hate.1. 生气是拿别人做错的事来惩罚自己。2. 明天的希望,让我们忘了今天的痛苦。3. 发光并非太阳的专利,你也可以发光。4. 获致幸福的不二法门是珍视你所拥有的、遗忘你所没有的。5. 你可以用爱得到全世界,你也可以用恨失去全世界。6. The true love should surmount the length of life, the width of mind and the depth of soul7. The strength of love is big enough to cause the person to forget all, but actually as small which cannot hold just a sand of envy.8. No matter when you start, the more importantly is that do not stop after started. No matter when you end, the more importantly is that do not regret after ended.6. 真正的爱,应该超越生命的长度、心灵的宽度、灵魂的深度。7. 爱的力量大到可以使人忘记一切,却又小到连一粒嫉妒的沙石也不能容纳。8. 不论你在什麽时候开始,重要的是开始之后就不要停止.不论你在什麽时候结束,重要的是结束之后就不要悔恨。9. Entertains the highest hope, for the greatest endeavor, make the worst plan.10. The place which the ideal is in, the hell maybe a heaven. The place which hope is in, the pain may becomes happiness.11. God never complains people’s ignorance while people actually complains the unfair of God.12. The happy life should fill the anticipation, pleasantly surprise and grateful.9. 抱最大的希望,为最大的努力,做最坏的打算。10. 有理想在的地方,地狱就是天堂。有希望在的地方,痛苦也成欢乐。11. 上帝从不埋怨人们的愚昧,人们却埋怨上帝的不公平。12. 美好的生命应该充满期待、惊喜和感激。What language is thine， O sea？The language of eternal question. What language is thy answer， O sky？"海水呀，你说的是什么？" "是永恒的疑问。" "天空呀，你回答的话是什么？" "是永恒的沉默。Thank the flame for its light， but do not forget the lamp holder standing in the shade with constancy of patience.Tiny grass， your steps are small， but you possess the earth under your tread.谢谢火焰给你光明，但是不要忘了那执灯的人，他是坚忍地站在黑暗当中呢。小草呀，你的足步虽小，但是你拥有你足下的土地。I think of other ages that floated upon the stream of life and love and death and are forgotten， and I feel the freedom of passing away.我想起了浮泛在生与爱与死的川流上的许多别的时代，以及这些时代之被遗忘，我便感觉到离开尘世的自由了。

It must be fate to get acquainted in a huge crowd of people...I feel, the love that Osho talks about, maybe is a kind of pure love beyond the mundane world, which is full of divinity and caritas, and overflows with Buddhist allegorical words and gestures, but, it seems that I cannot see through its true meaning forever... 也许，我并不只是"接受";而是，因为那种爱，让我，情不自禁、无法抗拒、不能拒绝……知道吗，是你，点燃了我的生命!而我，固执的相信，这种情感，在我的生命中，只有一次。因为爱，我们，不再孤单;因为思念，品尝，更多的寂寞。 Maybe, I do not just "absorb" your love; but because the love overpowers me and I am unable to dispute and refuse it...Do you know?

The researchers then compared the photos with the life span of each player. 专家们按队员们的笑容进行等级分类，分别是“一点都不笑”，“笑了一点儿”，“微笑时嘴部肌肉有抽动”或是“笑的合不拢嘴”，以及“扬起脸，眼睛都笑出了皱纹”等这几个分类。然后他们把这些照片与队员们的寿命进行了比较。 The results revealed that of the 184 players that had since died, those in the ’no smile’ category had lived an average of 72.9 years. 结果显示，在184名现已去世的队员中，那些属于在照片中“从不微笑”的人，他们的平均寿命是72.9岁。 The findings support another study which showed that being happy can reduce the risk of heart disease. 这些证据同时也支撑了另一项研究，那就是保持快乐的心态会降低得心脏病的风险。 优美英文散文带翻译：年轻人，应该如何更好的生活?
