英语美文摘抄（一）：
Whether sixty or sixteen， there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders， 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.
无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要坚持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长时光里接收到人间万物传递来的完美、期望、欢乐、鼓舞和力气的消息，你就会年轻多长时光。
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first， narrowly contained within its banks， and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider， the banks recede， the waters flow more quietly， and in the end， without any visible break， they bee merged in the sea， and painlessly lose their individual being.
人的生命应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的限制而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去，最终水流平缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。
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 sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是不思进取的结果。
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.
光阴能够在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。
英语美文摘抄（二）：
眼睛会说话
Much meaning can be conveyed， clearly， with our eyes， so it is often said that eyes can speak.
我们的眼睛能正确地传达一些消息，所以人们常说，眼睛会说话。
Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at stranger， but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at， he may feel unfortable.
你有过类似的体验吗?在公共汽车上，你可能会看着一个陌生人，但时光不会太长。并且，如果他能感觉到有人盯着他，会觉得浑身不自在。
The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary， you will look at yourself up and down， to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong， you will feel angry toward other’s stare with you that way. Eyes do speak， right?
日常生活中亦如此。如果别人一向盯着你看，你就会不由自主地审视自我，看看是不是有什么地方弄错了。如果一切正常，你就会对别人的这种盯梢很气愤。眼睛确实能说话，不是吗?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it es to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert his gaze， his intentions are obvious， that is， he wishes to attract her attention， to make her understand that he is admiring her.
过久的盯着别人看会给人一种粗鲁和侵犯的感觉。但异性之间的凝视就不一样了。如果一个男人盯着一个女人超过10秒钟，还不想挪开视线的话，他的意思就十分明显了，他想引起她的注意，想让她明白他爱慕她。
However， the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time， in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking， to tell him that he is attentive.
正常情景下，两人交谈时，目光接触能传达这样的意思：说者偶尔看看听者，以此确认听着是否在认真倾听。而对于听者来说，他会一向看着说话的人，以此告诉他，自我正专心致志的听着。
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking， as if he tries to dominate you， you will feel disconcerted. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim， since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest munication. Quite the contrary.
假如与你说话的那个人直直的盯着你，好像要镇住你似的，你便会感到惶恐不安。一般地，说谎者往往就是看别人的时光过长，而令人起疑。因为他们以为直视别人的眼睛是诚实沟通的表现，结果恰恰相反。
In fact， continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only， who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time， to show affection that words cannot express.
实际上，长时光的相互凝视仅适合情人之间，他们喜欢温柔的对视，用目光来传达言语无法表达的爱意。
Evidently， eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
显然，目光交流应当根据双方的关系和特定场合来进行。
英语美文摘抄（三）：
If you could choose what kind of world to live in， what kind of world would you choose? If you could decide what would happen tomorrow， with what kinds of things would you fill it?
If you had the power to decide what types of opportunities would e your way， what opportunities would you select? If you knew that your experiences would match your expectations， what would your expectations be?

The world you experience is the world that your dreams， your thoughts， your expectations and your actions most closely resonate*. The world you see and live in is the world you most sincerely expect to see.
The universe is filled with endless possibilities， and those possibilities keep growing with every minute. The way you live determines which of those possibilities will e into your life.
With your thoughts， your actions， your values， your dreams and expectations， you choose what kind of world you live in. The way you live is closely mirrored in the world you see.

倘若你有力气决定自我的机遇，你会怎样选择呢?倘若你明白你的经历会如你所愿，那么你会如何期待呢?
事实上，你有本事选择你要走的路。是你自我决定你将要做的事、你将获得的经历、你将得到的机遇和你将置身其中的环境。
你体验的这个世界和你的梦想、思维、期待甚至行为产生共鸣。你看到的世界和你时下生活的这个世界就是你真心期待见到的世界。
这个宇宙充满了无限的可能，这些可能每一分钟都在增加。你的生活方式决定了何种可能性会来到你的世界。
你所选择生活的世界取决于你的想法，你的作为，你秉持的价值理念，你的梦想还有对未来的期待。你有什么样的世界观就会有什么样的生活方式。
英语美文摘抄（四）：
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books， documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men， the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?
We do it because， sometimes， the voice of experience can cause us to stop， look and listen. Sometimes， past records， when understood in the right way， can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace， we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women， we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering， the self-denial2， the devotion， and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war， and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short， history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians e the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.
翻译：一个更好的明天
英语励志短文人们常常心存疑虑，为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。
我们为什么要有图书馆呢?这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢?
我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释，能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和平，我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。
从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中，我们获得了青春的启示。历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。
历史的主要目的是创造一个更加完美的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告，给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。
简而言之，历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载能够使我们避免重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类增高的伟大壁画。
英语美文摘抄（五）：
Today is an excellent day for small improvements. Whatever is working for you， find a way to improve it just a little. There’s no need to make a huge change， just a small one， something you can do right now.
If you called just one additional customer each day， over the course of the next month you would talk to about 20 new people. If you learned just one more new word each day， in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words.
Small improvements can add up over time into big acplishments. Look around you. Consider the work you do each day. Think about how you could do it just a little bit better.
In a marathon race， each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher. Yet over the course of the race， that small difference adds up in a big way.
Do just a little bit more today， and tomorrow too， and each day after that. Anyone can make just a small improvement， and that can make a big， big difference.
翻译：再多一点点
今日就是你能够做改善的极好的一天。无论你在做什么，找一个方法去做一点点的改善。不用做太大的改变，只要一点点——你此刻能够做到的一点点。
如果你每一天多给一个顾客打电话的话，一个月下来你会发觉 你又多认识了差不多二十个人。如果每一天多学会一个新词，过一年，你的词汇量将会增加300多个。
小小的改善能够逐步积累成大的成就。观察你的周围。思考你每一天所做的工作。想一下你怎样能做得更好一点。
在马拉松比赛中，冠军的每一步都只比第一百名的选手的步伐大一点点、快一点点。可是在比赛过程中，那些小小的不一样积累成了巨大的区别。
今日、明天、今后的每一天尽力做更多一点点。任何人都能做一点小小的改善，但那小小的改善将会起到十分大、十分大的作用。

英语美文摘抄（二十二）：
We meet at very short intervals， not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day， and give each other a new taste of that old mushy cheese that we are. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules， called etiquette and politeness， to make this frequent meeting tolerable and that we need not e to open war.We meet at the post office， and at the sociable，and about the fireside every night; we live thick and are in each others way， and stumble over one another， and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another. Certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty munications. Consider the girls in a factory-never alone， hardly in their dreams. It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile， as where I live.The value of a man is not in his skin.
我们相聚的时光十分短暂，没有足够的时光让彼此获得任何有价值的新事物。我们在一日三餐的时候见面，我们就如陈腐的奶略，却让彼此相互品尝出新味道。我们必须一致同意若干条规则，也就是我们所谓的礼节和礼貌，使这种经常的聚会相安无事，我们还要一致同意我们没有争吵的必要。我们在邮局碰面，在社交场合碰面，每一天晚上在炉火边碰面;我们生活得很拥挤，相互干扰，彼此牵绊，我想，我们所以失去了对彼此的尊重。当然，所有重要的、真诚的.沟通，次数少一些就足够了。想一想工厂里的女工——永久不会独处，甚至在梦中也难得是独自一人。如果一平方英里仅有一个居民，就像我这样，那要好多了。一个人的价值不在于他的外在。

鸟在靠近地面的地方飞行，这样它们就能看到自我在哪里。鸟儿会寻找它们熟悉的地方。这样他们就不会迷路了。有些鸟在海洋上飞得很低，海浪常常把它们遮住。许多鸟在春天和秋天飞很长一段距离。

英语美文摘抄（三十五）：
When love beckons to you， follow him， though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you， yield to him， though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you， believe in him， though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
当爱召唤你时，请追随她，尽管爱的道路艰难险峻。当爱的羽翼拥抱你时，请顺从她，尽管隐藏在其羽翼之下的剑可能会伤到你。当爱向你诉说时，请相信她，尽管她的声音可能打破你的梦想，就如同北风吹落花园里所有的'花瓣。
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun， so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
爱会给你戴上桂冠，也会折磨你。爱会助你长大，也会给你修枝。爱会上升到枝头，抚爱你在阳光下颤动力的嫩枝，也会下潜至根部，撼动力你紧抓泥土的根基。
But if， in your fear， you would seek only loves peace and loves pleasure， then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of loves threshing-floor， into the seasonless world where you shall laugh， but not all of your laughter， and weep， but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not， nor would it be possessed， for love is sufficient unto love.
可是，如果你在恐惧之中只想寻求爱的平和与欢乐，那你就最好掩盖真实的自我，避开爱的考验，进入不分季节的世界，在那里你将欢笑，但并非开怀大笑，你将哭泣，但并非尽情地哭。爱只将自我付出，也只得到自我。爱一无所有，也不会为谁所有，因为爱本身就已自足。
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires， let these be your desires:
爱除了实现自我别无他求。可是如果你爱而又不得不有所求，那就请期望：
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
将自我融化并像奔流的溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自我优美的曲调。
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
明了过多的温柔所带来的苦痛。
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
被自我对爱的理解所伤害;并情愿欢乐地悲伤。
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
在黎明带着轻快的心醒来并感激又一个有家的日子；
To rest at the noon hour and meditate loves ecstasy;
在中午休息并品味爱的喜悦在中午休息并品味爱的喜悦
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
在黄昏怀着感恩之心回家;
And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
然后为内心所爱之人祈祷，吟唱赞美之歌，并带着祷告和歌声入眠。

英语美文摘抄（四十九）：
The Goodness of Life
Though there is much to be concerned about， there is far， far more for which to be thankful.Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed， it is never outweighed.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive， there are thousands more small， quiet actsof love， kindness and passion. For every person who seeks to hurt， there are many， manymore who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.
In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details， look closely， for that goodness alwayses shining through.
There si no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter.The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life， the more there is to be lived.
Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows， thegoodness of life lives on. Open your eyes， open your heart， and you will see that goodness iseverywhere.
Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks， it always endures. For in thedarkest moment it bees vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure. And so the goodness oflife is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of lifewas really only a moment away. Around the next corner， inside every moment， the goodness oflife is there to surprise and delight you.
Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then，share your good fortune with another. For the goodness of life grows more and moremagnificent each time it is given away.
Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage everstronger， the goodness of life grows stronger still， quietly， peacefully， with more purpose andmeaning than ever before.

生命的完美不能否认。
在最为壮观的前景和最为琐碎的细节中，请仔细观察，因为完美的事物总是散发着耀眼的光芒闪亮登场。
生命的完美没有界限。每一次相遇都会使这完美变得越发丰富。你经历得越多，越能欣赏生命的完美，生命中的完美就会变得越多。
即使当寒风袭来，整个世界似乎被雾气掩盖之时，生命的完美仍会存在。睁开双眼，打开心扉，你就会发觉 这完美无处不在。
尽管生命的完美有时似乎遭受挫折，但它总会挺过来。因为，在最黑暗的时刻，有一点变得格外清楚，那就是，生命是无价的财富。所以，下正是与生命的完美相对立的事物使其越发强大。
无数次地，当你担心这完美现已远离之时，你会发觉 生命的完美其实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着给你惊喜。
花些时光让生命的完美感动自我的灵魂，放松自我的思绪。然后，把你的幸运与他人分享。因为生命的完美会在每次给予之间变得越来越壮观。
尽管总是有问题让你去关注，冲突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的完美却总是静静地，平和地，带着比以往更强的意志和更多的价值变得更加强大。
