第二篇：李陽瘋狂英語經典誦讀短文（推薦）

英語背誦短文

1.The Old Farmer An old farmer had spent all his life on his farm in the countryside, far from the city.One day, he decided to visit the big city.Everything was new and strange to him, because this was the first time he had traveled to the city.He went into a large hotel and saw an elevator.As he watched, an old lady got into the elevator and closed the door.After a while, the door opened again and a very pretty young girl came out.The old farmer was amazed.“What an incredible little room!” he said to himself.“It?s magic!It can change an old woman into a young girl.The next time I come here, I?m going to bring my wife along.”

【注釋】incredible adj.難以置信的；不可思議的

【譯文】

老農民

一個老農民一輩子住在遠離城市的鄉下農場里。有一天他決定到大城市里去觀光。他覺得城市里的一切又新鮮，又奇特，因為這是他第一次到城市去旅行。他走進一家大旅館，看見那里的電梯。當他瞧著的時候，一位老太太走進電梯關上了門。過了一會兒，門開了，一位年輕美貌的姑娘從電梯里走了出來。老農民驚呆了?！斑@真是一個不可思議的小房間?。　彼匝宰哉Z地說：“這簡直是魔術！它能把一個老太太變成年輕姑娘。下次我再來的時候，我要帶我的老婆一起來。”

2.Reading Makes a Full Man We see that the real factor by which a “full man” is made is neither education nor experience;it is reading.By reading scientific treatises, we are informed of many facts;by reading geography, we know the earth?s surface, forms, physical features etc.;by reading history, we are told of the growth of nations.With eyes we can see;with ears we can hear.But at a distance, small objects can hardly be distinguished by naked eyes, and ordinary sounds are not audible to our ears without a transmitter.It is by reading that we can know many things without actually seeing or hearing them.Besides, a fair knowledge of what the world is thinking and doing can only be acquired by reading newspapers and magazines.Therefore, no matter how advanced our education may be, or how much experience we may have, we cannot become “full man” unless we keep on reading.【注釋】

① factor n.因素；要素

② treatise ['tri:tis]

n.（專題）論文

③ distinguish [di'sti?gwi?] v.分辨；區別

④ naked adj.裸露的；光體的 naked eyes肉眼 ⑤ audible ['?:d?bl] adj.聽得見的⑥ transmitter n.傳送者；發報機 ⑦ acquire [?'kwai?] v.獲得

【譯文】

讀書使人完美

我們知道造就一個“完人”的真正因素既不是教育也不是經驗，而是讀書。通過閱讀科學論文，我們能知道許多事實；通過閱讀地理，我們知道地球的表面、形狀和物理特征等。通過閱讀歷史，我們了解到了國家的發展歷程。

我們能用眼睛看，用耳朵聽。但在一定距離，靠肉眼就難于辨認小的事物，沒有傳話筒我們就聽不見一般的聲音。只有通過讀書，我們才能知道許多不是我們耳聞目睹的事。而且，關于世界上正在思考和正在做的事情的很多知識，我們只能通過閱讀報紙和雜志來獲得。

所以，不管我們所受的教育程度多高，也不管我們有多少經驗，我們都不可能因此而成為“完人”。除非我們不斷地讀書。

3.Happiness Is Your Own Choice Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier — a relative, someone we know a lot, or someone we hardly know.As a result, what we do remember is anything that makes the others happy, anything that makes ourselves unhappy, totally forgetting that there is something happy in our own life.So the best way to destroy happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw.It is the smallest flaw that would make us complain.And it is the complain that leads to us becoming unhappy.If one chooses to be happy, he will be blessed;if he chooses to be unhappy, he will be cursed.Happiness is just what you think will make you happy.【注釋】flaw [fl?:] n.缺點；裂紋；瑕疵

【譯文】

選擇快樂你就快樂

我們大多數人都喜歡跟我們的親戚、熟識的朋友或不怎么了解的人進行比較，總認為他們比我們快樂。結果呢，我們確確實實記住了令他人快樂的事，扎扎實實記住了使自己不快樂的事，完完全全忘記了我們自己生活中也有快樂的一面。

所以，毀滅快樂的最好方法是眼睛盯著某物并把注意力集中到最微不足道的缺點上。引起我們抱怨的，就是這些微不足道的缺點；而導致我們不快樂的，正是這些抱怨。

如果你選擇快樂，你將得到祝福；如果你選擇痛苦，你就會受到詛咒。那么，如果你選擇快樂，你就快樂。

4.Courage A father was really worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had no courage at all.So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train his child.The Buddhist monk said to the boy?s father, “You should leave your son alone here.I?ll make him into a real man within three months.However, you can?t come to see him during this period.”

Three months later, the boy?s father returned.The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the child and an experienced boxer.Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up;and each time a punch knocked him down again, then the boy stood up again.Several times later, the Buddhist monk asked, “What do you think of your child? ”

“What a shame!” The boy?s father said.“I never thought he could be so easily knocked down.I needn?t have left him here any longer.”

“I?m sorry that that?s all you see.Don?t you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of crying? That?s the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”

If each time you are knocked down you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud of yourself.【注釋】

① Buddhist monk 和尚，禪師； Buddhist n.佛教徒adj.佛教的；monk n.僧侶；修道士 ② punch [p?nt?] n.拳打[C][(+in/on)] v.用力擊，用拳猛擊

5.Is Money the Road to Happiness? In modern society, quite a few people make money the target for their lives? pursuits as they believe money is the road to happiness.Is that the case? Does money really make the mare go? I don?t agree with this opinion.Of course we can?t live without money because it is the currency in circulation with which we buy what we need in daily life.But money doesn?t mean everything in the world, especially happiness.The factors that contribute to happiness are unpredictable.Those who have money to burn are not necessarily living a happy life while those who lack physical necessities may be happier than the rich.People say that money is the source of evil.It is true to some extent.To steal, to rob, to commit murder and even to aggress another country can all be caused by greed.Sometimes money can drive people crazy and even kill them.In that case how can we say money is the road to happiness? 【注釋】① 詞匯：pursuit n.追求；mare n.母馬，母驢；currency n.貨幣；circulation n.流通；unpredictable adj.不可預測的；aggress v.攻擊，侵略

② 短語：to some extent 從某種程度上說（to a︳some degree）【譯文】

金錢是通向幸福之路嗎？

在當今社會，相當多的人把金錢作為終身追求的目標，因為他們相信金錢是通向幸福之路。真的是這樣嗎？有錢真的能使鬼推磨嗎？

我并不認同這種觀點。當然我們的生活離不開錢，因為它是流通中的貨幣，用它我們可以購買日常所需的東西。但是，金錢并不意味著世上的一切東西，特別是幸福。讓人幸福的因素是不可預測的，那些花錢如流水的人并不一定過著幸福的生活，而那些物質匱乏的人可能比富人過得更快樂。

人們曾說，金錢是罪惡之源，從某種程度上說，這是正確的。由于貪婪，人們情愿不惜一切代價去偷、去搶、去謀殺，甚至侵略其他國家，有時金錢可以讓人瘋狂，甚至毀掉他們。在那種情況下，我們怎能說金錢是通向幸福之路呢？

6.Friendship Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy.Everyone needs friends.Real friends are those who can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us encouragement and help.With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.It?s hard to imagine what life would be like without friendship.Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends.A good friend is helpful to us while a bad friend would be harmful.Time tries all.A long-term contract with someone will tell you who is a loyal friend and who is not.A friend in need is a friend indeed.【注釋】contract ['k?ntr?kt] n.合同；協議；契約（這里a long-term contract指長期的交往）【譯文】

友誼

友誼是人們可以享受到的最大樂趣之一。每個人都需要朋友。真正的朋友可以分擔你所有的憂愁，增加你的快樂。當我們身陷困境的時候，我們需要朋友的鼓勵和幫助；成功的時候，我們也需要朋友分享我們的快樂。很難想象，如果生活缺少友誼會是什么樣的。

知道友誼的珍貴，我們就應該謹慎交友。益友對我們幫助很多，而損友則有害無益。日久見人心。長期的交往會告訴你誰是忠誠的朋友而誰不是?；茧y之交才是真正的朋友。

7.Key Factors to Success No doubt, everyone wishes to be successful in life.But most success depends on three factors: diligence, devotion, and perseverance.The first key factor is diligence.Diligence can help us remove ignorance and overcome difficulties.It can make a fool wise, and a poor man rich.If we idle away our time now, our future life will be a failure.If we are diligent now, we will surely be successful in the future.Devotion, which means the concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success.Whatever job we are doing, we must love it and do it heart and soul.Only when we set our minds on the job, can we do it well.3 Furthermore, perseverance is also necessary for any success.If we study or work day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved.Without a strong will, on the other hand, we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties.To conclude, all great men achieve success through diligence, devotion and perseverance.Just as the famous English saying goes, “No pains, no gains.”

【注釋】diligence n.努力，勤奮；devotion n.熱愛，投入；perseverance n.毅力；堅持不懈；idle away 浪費光陰，虛度時間

【譯文】

成功的關鍵要素

毫無疑問，每個人都想在生活中有所成就。但大多數的成功都取決于三個關鍵要素：勤奮、投入和持之以恒。

第一個關鍵要素是勤奮。勤奮可以幫助我們擺脫無知，克服困難。勤奮可以使愚昧的人變得聰明，使貧窮的人變得富裕。如果我們現在虛度光陰，未來的人生就會失??；如果我們現在勤奮，將來一定會非常成功。

投入是成功的另一個關鍵要素，它意味著集中精力努力做事。我們應該熱愛我們所做的任何工作，并全心全意做到最好。只有全身心地投入，才能把工作做好。

此外，持之以恒對任何成功而言都是必不可少的。如果我們每天都堅持學習或工作，沒有什么是不可能的。另一方面，沒有堅強的意志，我們遇到困難時極易放棄。

一句話，所有的偉人都是通過勤奮、投入和持之以恒而獲得成功的。正如那句有名的諺語所說：“不勞不獲”。

8.Ways of Communication When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone call, your words carry a message.People communicate with words.But do you how people also communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly.Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions.You shake your head and people know you are saying “no”.You nod and people know you are saying “yes”.People can communicate in many other ways.An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue seas, and many other things.Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and what other people are thinking about.【譯文】

交流方式

當你說話、寫信或打電話的時候，你的言語就傳遞了信息。人們用語言交流。不過，你知道嗎？人們不用語言也能交流。臉上的微笑顯示你高興或友好；眼中的淚水告訴別人你很傷心。課堂上你一舉手，老師就知道你有話要說或有問題要問。你搖搖頭，人們就知道你在說“不”；你點點頭，人們就知道你在說“是”。

人們還可以用其他許多方式來相互交流。畫家可以用他的繪畫來表現壯麗的山脈、湛藍的大海和其他許多事物。作家撰寫書籍給你講述世界上一切奇妙的事物，告訴你別人的思想。

9.American Dining Etiquette If you?re invited to an American friend?s home for dinner, keep in mind these general rules for polite behavior.First of all, arrive approximately on time(but not early).Americans expect promptness.It?s OK to be ten or fifteen minutes late but not forty-five minutes late.Dinner might be overcooked and ruined by then.When you?re invited to someone?s home for a meal, it?s polite to bring a small gift.Flowers or candy are always appropriate.If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host or hostess would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.Don?t leave immediately after dinner, but don?t overstay your welcome, either.When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue to leave.The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.【注釋】

① etiquette ['eti'ket] n.禮節；規矩（manners n.禮貌；規矩；風俗習慣）② approximately [?'pr?ksimitli] adv.近似地；大約

③ promptness [pr?mptnis] n.準時；正好（punctuality 守時，準時；punctual adj.守時的）④ appropriate [?'pr?upri?t] adj.適當的（proper adj.適當的，恰當的 be proper to）⑤ cue [kju:] n.暗示；提示

⑥ overstay one?s welcome（某人）呆的太久讓人生厭 【譯文】

美國人進餐的禮節

如果你應邀去一位美國朋友家共進晚餐，你應該記住以下這些禮貌行事的規矩。首先，爭取按時到達（但不要早到）。美國人希望守時。晚10分鐘或15分鐘到不成問題，但不應遲到45分鐘，因為那時候菜肴或許會因烹飪時間過長而失去應有的美味。你應邀去別人家吃飯時，不妨帶件小禮物以示禮貌。鮮花和糖果總是很合適的。如果你帶點自己國家的特產，主人肯定會高興地收下這份禮物。

不要吃完馬上就走，但也不應逗留過長時間。如果你的朋友看上去已經有些疲倦，你們似乎也沒有什么可聊的了，不妨把這看作是告辭的暗示。第二天，給朋友打個電話或寫個感謝卡以表明自己昨晚過得很愉快。

10.About Websites Email, games, music, news, chat rooms, and shopping!The Internet is part of the way we live today.The Web has large numbers of websites on it.They are the places you go to get information and do things.Where do these websites come from? They are made by web designers.If you click on a word or a picture, you will be sent to another page.It?s all because of the web designer.They do a lot of work by using a computer programming language.They must imagine a lot when they are making a website.It must look good and be fun to use.A big part of web design is art.They choose the best pictures and colors to make the website look good.They also write the things that you see on the website.An important part of their job is to share ideas with the website manager about how to design the website well.【譯文】

電子郵件、游戲、音樂、新聞、聊天室以及購物！因特網已經成為我們當今生活方式的一部分。網絡有很多的網站，那些網站就是你獲取信息和做事的地方。

這些網站是哪里來的呢？它們都是由網絡設計師設計出來的。如果你點擊一個詞或一張圖片，你就會被帶到另一個網頁。這些都歸功于網絡設計員。他們與用一種電腦編程語言，完成了大量的工作。他們在設計一個網站時，需要想象很多東西。這個網站必須看起來美觀，用起來有趣。網站設計很大一部分是美術設計。他們挑選最好的圖片及顏色使得網站美觀。他們寫一些你在網上看到的東西。他們的另一種重要工作就是與網站管理員商量如何將網站設計得更好。

11.Music Music is very relaxing.After a hard day of studying, it is fun to listen to all kinds of music at home.You can even play a musical instrument, or sing.Music relaxes you after working all day.Music can cheer you up when you are in a bad mood.If you can play a musical instrument, you are lucky.If you can play the piano, you can spend hours alone and never be bored.If you play the guitar, you can invite your friends over to sing along.And if you play the violin, you can be in an orchestra.You enjoy music throughout your life.There will be music in everything you hear: the roaring ocean, the whispering wind, and the warbling bird.You hear music wherever you may go.【注釋】

① orchestra ['?:kistr?] n.管弦樂隊

② warble ['w?:bl] vi.鳥鳴 【譯文】

音樂

音樂讓人非常輕松。經過一天勞累的學習，在激勵聽聽各種各樣的音樂是挺有趣的。你甚至還可以彈奏樂器或唱歌。忙碌一天后，音樂讓你輕松。當你心情不好的時候，音樂可以使你精神振奮。

如果你會演奏一種樂器，那么你是幸運的。要是你彈鋼琴的話，你就可以幾個小時獨處而從不會覺得無聊；如果你彈吉他，你可以邀請朋友過來一起唱歌；如果你拉小提琴，你可以加入管弦樂隊。

你一生都能享受到音樂。你聽到的所有一切都包含音樂——大海的咆哮、風的低吟或是清脆的鳥鳴。無論你去哪里，你都能聽到音樂。

12.Just Do It!

If you put off things for too long, they can easily become uncontrollable.The longer you wait to tackle a problem, the more difficult it becomes.Don?t waste time thinking about how difficult something is.Just take the advice in this passage.Many people put off tomorrow what they can do today.They always look for excuses to postpone doing something.In the end, it never gets done.If we leave things undone, we will eventually worry.This will cause unnecessary stress.Therefore, if you have this bad habit, it?s best to get rid of it and do things as soon as possible.【參考譯文】

事情一旦被拖得太久就會變得難以控制。問題拖得越久，就越難以解決。所以，不要把時間浪費在考慮某事到底有多難，從這篇短文接受忠告！

很多人把今天能做的事推到明日，他們總是找借口拖延做事。到頭來，事情總是沒做完。如果我們沒有把事做完，我們心里會感到忐忑不安，從而造成不必要的壓力。因此，如果你有這種壞習慣的話，最好是將它客服，盡快把事情做好。Words & Phrases(1)put off 推遲，拖延；關掉，熄滅；擺脫 I?ll have to put off my visit until next month.（2）uncontrollable adj 無法控制的，控制不住的（3）tackle v.處理，解決

（4）look for 尋找，尋求；期待

（5）excuse n.原諒，寬恕；借口，理由；辯解（6）postpone v.延遲，延緩，使延期，推遲（其后常跟名詞后動詞）＊We are postponing our trip until the weather grows warmer.（7）in the end 最終，結果，到頭來

（8）eventually adv.終于，最終，最后（9）get rid of 處理掉；扔掉；擺脫；除去；去掉

＊The old machine is no use.I?ll be glad to get rid of it.這臺舊機器已毫無用處，我樂意把它處理掉。

13.Speak Out!(1)Expressing opinions is one example of culture difference between east and west.Westerners express their opinions freely.They feel it is natural for people to have different ideas, and don?t mind hearing views that differ from their own.You may express frankly what you think or feel.Of course, you shouldn?t be rude in your manner or speech.Statements such as “You?re wrong,” “You ?re mistaken,” “You don?t know,” etc.aren?t exactly bad ,but it is preferable to soften the tone.You might say, “I don?t think you are right,” “I?m afraid you?re mistaken,” or “You don?t seem to understand.” 【參考譯文】

表達觀點的不同是中西方文化差異的一個典型例子。西方人自由地發表他們的意見。他們覺得人們有不同的思想那是當然的，并且不介意聽到與他們自己不同的意見。你可以率直地表達你的想法或感覺。當然你不應該用粗魯的語氣。象“你錯了”，“你弄錯了”，“你不明白”等等這樣的表達，并不一定是不好的，但是語氣應和緩。你可以說“我不認為你是對的”，“恐怕你弄錯了”，或“你好像不太明白”。

14.Time Flies!

Many people value their time more than anything else in the world.Once time is gone it can never be replaced.This makes time more valuable than money.Time is precious.Nobody can afford to waste time.Once time has gone by, it will never return.You can never turn the clock back.Time passes very quickly.People say time flies.Time and tide wait for no man.We should, therefore, make the best use of our time.If you can manage your time well, you will have a successful life.Try using all your spare time to practice English crazily.Even a few minutees? practice while waiting for the bus can be valuable learning time.【參考譯文】

很多人把時間視為世界上最寶貴的東西。時間按一旦消逝，沒有什么東西可取代它。這使得時間比金錢更加寶貴。

時間很寶貴，誰都浪費不起。時間一旦消逝，就永遠不再來。你永遠也無法讓時光倒流。時間過得很快，人們說光陰似箭，歲月不待人。因此，我們應該好好的善用時間。

如果能合理地支配時間愛你，你一定會有一個成功的人生。試把所有的零碎時間都應用于瘋狂地操練英語上面，哪怕是等車的一點點間隙也不要放過。

What You Don’t Talk About

If you bring up a topic that makes people uncomfortable, the room usually gets very quiet.This kind of uneasy silence makes it easy to lose your confidence.Read this passage to gain an advantage over other people who don?t know which topics to avoid.Taboo topics tend to make people feel uneasy.What are the things we shouldn?t talk about with Americans? Weight is one of the touchiest.In America, it?s a huge embarrassment to be overweight.Americans are very weight-conscious and rarely disclose how much they weigh.Therefore, you?d better not ask.But if you absolutely have to comment on this subject, it?s always safer to say, “Oh, you look like you have lost weight” than “Oh, you look like you put on a few pounds.” However, if you would like to be honest but hurtful, you should choose your words carefully, perhaps by saying;“Hey, you look great.Very healthy looking.” And always remember, it?s not fat.It?s muscular.【參考譯文】

如果你提出一個令人尷尬的話題，通常整個房間會變得鴉雀無聲。這種令人不自在的安靜很容易使你失去信心。讀讀這篇短文，知道哪些話題應該避免，你將獲得比別人更多的優勢。

忌諱的話題往往會使人尷尬。哪些話題是我們不該與美國人談論的呢？

體重是最敏感的話題之一。在美國，體重超標是一件讓人極為難堪的事，甚至是一種罪過。美國人很關心體重，且極少披露他們的體重。所以，你還是不過問為妙。但如果你非得要講，那就說“哦，你看起來像是減了幾磅”，這遠比 “哦，你看起來像是胖了一些”要穩妥得多。然而，如果你想說實話但又不想傷別人的心，那么你在用詞時應該謹慎一點，或許可以說：“嘿‘你看起來棒極了。很健康?！鼻f記住要讓對方相信，那不是脂肪，而是肌肉。

我們知道造就一個“完人”的真正因素既不是教育也不是經驗，而是讀書。通過閱讀科學論文，我們能知道許多事實；通過閱讀地理，我們知道地球的表面、形狀和物理特征等。通過閱讀歷史，我們了解到了國家的發展歷程。

我們能用眼睛看，用耳朵聽。但在一定距離，靠肉眼就難于辨認小的事物，沒有傳話筒我們就聽不見一般的聲音。只有通過讀書，我們才能知道許多不是我們耳聞目睹的事。而且，關于世界上正在思考和正在做的事情的很多知識，我們只能通過閱讀報紙和雜志來獲得。

所以，不管我們所受的教育程度多高，也不管我們有多少經驗，我們都不可能因此而成為“完人”。除非我們不斷地讀書。

Happiness Is Your Own Choice Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier — a relative, someone we know a lot, or someone we hardly know.As a result, what we do remember is anything that makes the others happy, anything that makes ourselves unhappy, totally forgetting that there is something happy in our own life.So the best way to destory happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw.It is the smallest flaw that would make us complain.And it is the complain that leads to us becoming unhappy.If one chooses to be happy, he will be blessed;if he chooses to be unhappy, he will be cursed.Happiness is just what you think will make you happy.【注釋】flaw [fl?:] n.缺點；裂紋；瑕疵

【譯文】

選擇快樂你就快樂

我們大多數人都喜歡跟我們的親戚、熟識的朋友或不怎么了解的人進行比較，總認為他們比我們快樂。結果呢，我們確確實實記住了令他人快樂的事，扎扎實實記住了使自己不快樂的事，完完全全忘記了我們自己生活中也有快樂的一面。

所以，毀滅快樂的最好方法是眼睛盯著某物并把注意力集中到最微不足道的缺點上。引起我們抱怨的，就是這些微不足道的缺點；而導致我們不快樂的，正是這些抱怨。

如果你選擇快樂，你將得到祝福；如果你選擇痛苦，你就會受到詛咒。那么，如果你選擇快樂，你就快樂。

The Duties of a Student Every youth has to make the best use of his school days.As future masters of society, students must get prepared for a strenuous life.In other words, it is their lot to face life’s hardships.One who is bodily weak cannot hope to have great success.It is very important, therefore, for students to fully develop their physical prowess by taking regular exercise.To render themselves really useful, students are expected to specialize in some areas of study.Their ambition should be to know everything about something than to know something about everything.The twenty-first century has no place for those who have no special knowledge or training.【注釋】

① strenuous ['strenju?s] adj.奮發的；緊張的；費勁的；艱苦的 ② lot n.命運；份額；（口）很多a lot of︳lots of；（商品等的）一批，某一類的人 ③ prowess ['prauis] n.英勇；勇猛；杰出的才能 ④ render vt.使…成為；以…回報（+for）；歸還（+back）；給予（+to）；表示 ⑤ specialize vi.專攻，專門研究（+in）vt.使專門化，使特殊化 【譯文】

學生的責任

每個青年人都必須充分利用他學生時代的大好時光。作為未來社會的主人，學生們必須對緊張的生活有所準備。換句話說，正視生活的艱苦是他們的責任。虛弱的身體是沒有希望取得巨大成就的。因此，對學生們來說，通過有規律的鍛煉來提高他們的身體素質是至關重要的。

我們期望學生們向著某一研究領域專攻，以使得他們成為真正有用的人才，他們的志向應該是知道某一事物的每一方面，而不是去了解每一事物的某一方面。21世紀不會容納那些沒有專業知識和技能的人。

勵志故事 — Courage勇氣

A father was really worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had no courage at all.So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train his child.The Buddhist monk said to the boy’s father, “You should leave your son alone here.I’ll make him into a real man within three months.However, you can’t come to see him during this period.”

Three months later, the boy’s father returned.The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the child and an experienced boxer.Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up;and each time a punch knocked him down again, then the boy stood up again.Several times later, the Buddhist monk asked, “What do you think of your child? ”

“What a shame!” The boy’s father said.“I never thought he could be so easily knocked down.I needn’t have left him here any longer.”

“I’m sorry that that’s all you see.Don’t you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of crying? That’s the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”

If each time you are knocked down you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud of yourself.【注釋】

① Buddhist monk 和尚，禪師； Buddhist n.佛教徒adj.佛教的；monk n.僧侶；修道士 ② punch [p?nt?] n.拳打[C][(+in/on)] v.用力擊，用拳猛擊

Is Money the Roud to Happiness? In modern society, quite a few people make money the target for their live’s pursuits as they believe money is the road to happiness.Is that the case? Does money really make the mare go? I don’t agree with this opinion.Of course we can’t live without money because it is the currency in circulation with which we buy what we need in daily life.But money doean’t mean everything in the world, especially happiness.The factors that contribute to happiness are unpredictable.Those who have money to burn are not necessarily living a happy life while those who lack physical necessities may be happier than the rich.People say that money is the source of evil.It is true to some extent.To steal, to rob, to commit murder and even to aggress another country can all be caused by greed.Sometimes money can drive people crazy and even kill them.In that case how can we say money is the road to happiness? 【注釋】① 詞匯：pursuit n.追求；mare n.母馬，母驢；currency n.貨幣；circulation n.流通；unpredictable adj.不可預測的；aggress v.攻擊，侵略

② 短語：to some extent 從某種程度上說（to a︳some degree）

【譯文】

金錢是通向幸福之路嗎？

在當今社會，相當多的人把金錢作為終身追求的目標，因為他們相信金錢是通向幸福之路。真的是這樣嗎？有錢真的能使鬼推磨嗎？

我并不認同這種觀點。當然我們的生活離不開錢，因為它是流通中的貨幣，用它我們可以購買日常所需的東西。但是，金錢并不意味著世上的一切東西，特別是幸福。讓人幸福的因素是不可預測的，那些花錢如流水的人并不一定過著幸福的生活，而那些物質匱乏的人可能比富人過得更快樂。

人們曾說，金錢是罪惡之源，從某種程度上說，這是正確的。由于貪婪，人們情愿不惜一切代價去偷、去搶、去謀殺，甚至侵略其他國家，有時金錢可以讓人瘋狂，甚至毀掉他們。在那種情況下，我們怎能說金錢是通向幸福之路呢？

Friendship Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy.Everyone needs friends.Real friends are those who can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us encouragement and help.With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.It’s hard to imagine what life would be like without friendship.Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends.A good friend is helpful to us while a bad friend would be harmful.Time tries all.A long-term contract with someone will tell you who is a loyal friend and who is not.A friend in need is a friend indeed.【注釋】contract ['k?ntr?kt] n.合同；協議；契約（這里a long-term contract指長期的交往）【譯文】

友誼

友誼是人們可以享受到的最大樂趣之一。每個人都需要朋友。真正的朋友可以分擔你所有的憂愁，增加你的快樂。當我們身陷困境的時候，我們需要朋友的鼓勵和幫助；成功的時候，我們也需要朋友分享我們的快樂。很難想象，如果生活缺少友誼會是什么樣的。知道友誼的珍貴，我們就應該謹慎交友。益友對我們幫助很多，而損友則有害無益。日久見人心。長期的交往會告訴你誰是忠誠的朋友而誰不是?；茧y之交才是真正的朋友。

Key Factors to Success No doubt, everyone wishes to be successful in life.But most success depends on three factors: diligence, devotion, and perseverance.The first key factor is diligence.Diligence can help us remove ignorance and overcome difficulties.It can make a fool wise, and a poor man rich.If we idle away our time now, our future life will be a failure.If we are diligent now, we will surely be successful in the future.Devotion, which means the concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success.Whatever job we are doing, we must love it and do it heart and soul.Only when we set our minds on the job, can we do it well.Furthermore, perseverance is also necessary for any success.If we study or work day after day, there is nothing cannot be achieved.Without a strong will, on the other hand, we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties.To conclude, all great man achieve success through diligence, devotion and perseverance.Just as the famous English saying goes, “No pain, no gain.”

【注釋】diligence n.努力，勤奮；devotion n.熱愛，投入；perseverance n.毅力；堅持不懈；idle away 浪費光陰，虛度時間

【譯文】

成功的關鍵要素

毫無疑問，每個人都想在生活中有所成就。但大多數的成功都取決于三個關鍵要素：勤奮、投入和持之以恒。

第一個關鍵要素是勤奮。勤奮可以幫助我們擺脫無知，克服困難。勤奮可以使愚昧的人變得聰明，使貧窮的人變得富裕。如果我們現在虛度光陰，未來的人生就會失?。蝗绻覀儸F在勤奮，將來一定會非常成功。

投入是成功的另一個關鍵要素，它意味著集中精力努力做事。我們應該熱愛我們所做的任何工作，并全心全意做到最好。只有全身心地投入，才能把工作做好。

此外，持之以恒對任何成功而言都是必不可少的。如果我們每天都堅持學習或工作，沒有什么是不可能的。另一方面，沒有堅強的意志，我們遇到困難時極易放棄。

一句話，所有的偉人都是通過勤奮、投入和持之以恒而獲得成功的。正如那句有名的諺語所說：“不勞不獲”。

Ways of Communication When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone call, your words carry a message.People communicate with words.But do you how people also communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly.Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions.You shake your head and people know you are saying “no”.You nod and people know you are saying “yes”.People can communicate in many other ways.An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue seas, and many other things.Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and what other people are thinking about.【譯文】

交流方式

當你說話、寫信或打電話的時候，你的言語就傳遞了信息。人們用語言交流。不過，你知道嗎？人們不用語言也能交流。臉上的微笑顯示你高興或友好；眼中的淚水告訴別人你很傷心。課堂上你一舉手，老師就知道你有話要說或有問題要問。你搖搖頭，人們就知道你在說“不”；你點點頭，人們就知道你在說“是”。

人們還可以用其他許多方式來相互交流。畫家可以用他的繪畫來表現壯麗的山脈、湛藍的大海和其他許多事物。作家撰寫書籍給你講述世界上一切奇妙的事物，告訴你別人的思想。

American Dining Etiquette If you’re invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, keep in mind these general rules for polite behavior.First of all, arrive approximately on time(but not early).Americans expect promptness.It’s OK to be ten or fifteen minutes late but not forty-five minutes late.Dinner might be overcooked and ruined by then.When you’re invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s polite to bring a small gift.Flowers or candy are always appropriate.If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host or hostess would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.Don’t leave immediately after dinner, but don’t overstay your welcome, either.When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue to leave.The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.【注釋】

① etiquette ['eti'ket] n.禮節；規矩（manners n.禮貌；規矩；風俗習慣）② approximately [?'pr?ksimitli] adv.近似地；大約

③ promptness [pr?mptnis] n.準時；正好（punctuality 守時，準時；punctual adj.守時的）④ appropriate [?'pr?upri?t] adj.適當的（proper adj.適當的，恰當的 be proper to）⑤ cue [kju:] n.暗示；提示

⑥ overstay one’s welcome（某人）呆的太久讓人生厭 【譯文】

美國人進餐的禮節

如果你應邀去一位美國朋友家共進晚餐，你應該記住以下這些禮貌行事的規矩。首先，爭取按時到達（但不要早到）。美國人希望守時。晚10分鐘或15分鐘到不成問題，但不應遲到45分鐘，因為那時候菜肴或許會因烹飪時間過長而失去應有的美味。你應邀去別人家吃飯時，不妨帶件小禮物以示禮貌。鮮花和糖果總是很合適的。如果你帶點自己國家的特產，主人肯定會高興地收下這份禮物。

不要吃完馬上就走，但也不應逗留過長時間。如果你的朋友看上去已經有些疲倦，你們似乎也沒有什么可聊的了，不妨把這看作是告辭的暗示。第二天，給朋友打個電話或寫個感謝卡以表明自己昨晚過得很愉快。

About Websites Email, games, music, news, chat rooms, and shopping!The Internet is part of the way we live today.The Web has large numbers of websites on it.They are the places you go to get information and do things.Where do these websites come from? They are made by web designers.If you click on a word or a picture, you will be sent to another page.It’s all because of the web designer.They do a lot of work by using a computer programming language.They must imagine a lot when they are making a website.It must look good and be fun to use.A big part of web design is art.They choose the best pictures and colors to make the website look good.They also write the things that you see on the website.An important part of their job is to share ideas with the website manager about how to design the website well.【譯文】

電子郵件、游戲、音樂、新聞、聊天室以及購物！因特網已經成為我們當今生活方式的一部分。網絡有很多的網站，那些網站就是你獲取信息和做事的地方。

這些網站是哪里來的呢？它們都是由網絡設計師設計出來的。如果你點擊一個詞或一張圖片，你就會被帶到另一個網頁。這些都歸功于網絡設計員。他們與用一種電腦編程語言，完成了大量的工作。他們在設計一個網站時，需要想象很多東西。這個網站必須看起來美觀，用起來有趣。網站設計很大一部分是美術設計。他們挑選最好的圖片及顏色使得網站美觀。他們寫一些你在網上看到的東西。他們的另一種重要工作就是與網站管理員商量如何將網站設計得更好。

Music Music is very relaxing.After a hard day of studying, it is fun to listen to all kinds of music at home.You can even play a musical instrument, or sing.Music relaxes you after working all day.Music can cheer you up when you are in a bad mood.If you can play a musical instrument, you are lucky.If you can play the piano, you can spend hours alone and never be bored.If you play the guitar, you can invite your friends over to sing along.And if you play the violin, you can be in an orchestra.You enjoy music throughout your life.There will be music in everything you hear: the roaring ocean, the whispering wind, and the warbling bird.You hear music wherever you may go.【注釋】

① orchestra ['?:kistr?] n.管弦樂隊

② warble ['w?:bl] vi.鳥鳴 【譯文】

音樂

音樂讓人非常輕松。經過一天勞累的學習，在激勵聽聽各種各樣的音樂是挺有趣的。你甚至還可以彈奏樂器或唱歌。忙碌一天后，音樂讓你輕松。當你心情不好的時候，音樂可以使你精神振奮。

如果你會演奏一種樂器，那么你是幸運的。要是你彈鋼琴的話，你就可以幾個小時獨處而從不會覺得無聊；如果你彈吉他，你可以邀請朋友過來一起唱歌；如果你拉小提琴，你可以加入管弦樂隊。

你一生都能享受到音樂。你聽到的所有一切都包含音樂——大海的咆哮、風的低吟或是清脆的鳥鳴。無論你去哪里，你都能聽到音樂。

Ann.陳豪剛從大學畢業就在北京的一家美國公司找到了一份工作。今天他收到一張通知，可是里面有一個詞他不懂，他只知道讓他去參加一個什么訓練班。所以他就去請教公司里的美籍華人Mary。(Office ambience)C：Excuse me, Mary, 請問通知上這個詞是什么意思呀？E-t-i-q-u-e-t-t-e。M：Oh, etiquette, 原來是法文，意思是禮節。

C: 噢，原來是要我去參加禮節訓練班。Mary，這詞是怎么發音的？ M：E-ti-ket。Q-u是發k的音，而不是發q的音，e-ti-ket。C：我們來公司工作，又不是來社交，為什么要講禮節呀？

M：Etiquette is very important to business。一個公司的雇員對客戶是不是很客氣，有禮貌，這對經營有很大關系。

C：具體地說，這兒說的etiquette指些什么呢？

M：Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。C：以文明的方式對待別人的一些原則。

M：具體地說就是treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C：嗯，(若有所思地)對人要有禮貌，要尊敬別人，還要讓人覺得和你在一起很自如。這沒問題，I'm always polite and courteous to others。

M：但是，訓練班講的是西方禮節-western etiquette，和中國的禮節還不完全一樣，因為兩國有文化差異。C：這禮節還有文化差異？我得去訓練班聽聽再說。****** C：嗨，Mary，我的訓練班結束了，你那天說的文化差異一點也沒錯。M：聽起來訓練班好像讓你開竅啦？

C是啊。我那天跟會計室的那金發女郎聊天，聊得很愉快。結果我問她多大年紀了，她一下子就變得很不高興，支支吾吾沒有回答就走了。

M：Asking someone's age is offensive to an American.C：參加了訓練班才知道不能問美國人年齡的。

M：你辦公室里的小王今天早上突然問年薪有多少。美國人認為打聽這種私人的事是不禮貌的。我想對有些中國人來說也是不禮貌的。C：沒錯。

M：既然你訓練班已經結束，我來考考你: Tell me what is etiquette? C：我來試試。Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。M：And treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C: Mary，以后我有問題還會來請教你喲！M：No problem。

M： 第一次的印象，first impression，是很重要。美國人說，You never get a second chance to make a first impression。最初的印象只有一次，決沒有第二次機會。陳：第一次印象的重要性我知道，問題是怎么才能給人留下好印象。

M：根據一項研究，人們在初次見面時對一個人的評價有55% 是根據他所看到的。陳：這不是只看表面嘛？打扮漂亮就行了嗎？

M：不是打扮漂亮，而是打扮得體。你今天不是會見到總裁嗎？我們就來看看你有什么地方需要改進的吧 ****** M： 首先，hair should be well maintained。嗯，你的頭發梳得很整齊美觀。有的人既不洗頭，也不梳頭，那是非常不禮貌的。

陳：對了，我注意到我們辦公室里的美國男同事好像天天剃胡子。我不是天天剃胡子的。我年紀輕，沒多少胡子，人家看不出來。

M：我就看出來你今天沒有剃胡子。Unshaved look does not work for others。對了，我早上看你帶著領帶，怎么沒有啦？你要去見總裁，領帶一定要帶。陳：噢，我到了辦公室，我把它取下來了。

M：在辦公室里放松一會兒是可以的，但是要去見某人或出去辦事，ties should be correctly tied。你一會兒千萬別忘了把領帶帶上。

陳：行，行，我一會兒剃一下胡子，帶上領帶就齊了。M：等等，一般人還會看你的腿和鞋子。哎，你的褲子太長，褲腿都拖在地上了。Pants should not drag on the floor。

陳：啊呀，我知道，可我媽沒時間給我改短嘛。

M：你這雙鞋是新的吧，很干凈，擦得很亮。Shoes should be polished and in good condition。陳：喲，那我褲子太長，怎么辦哪？

M：別著急，你不是下午才見總裁嗎？趕快回家去換條褲子。還有，千萬把白襪子給換了。Never wear white sox。

陳：啊呀，還不讓穿白襪子，規矩還真多。你看，我一緊張把你剛才說的都忘了?？?，再說一遍。

Mr.Jones: Punctuality simply means being on time.If a meeting is scheduled for one o'clock, everyone is expected to be in the meeting room and ready to start.C:(自語：噢，開會要準時！)Mr.Jones, now I understand.I'll be on time for meetings from now on.Ms.Jones: Good.(Sound of pushing chairs and walking)M: 嗨，陳豪，剛才我要告訴你 punctuality就是準時，你匆忙走了，大概沒有聽見。哎，老板找你干什么呀？ C：他批評我開會不準時。他不懂，可我又沒法和老板爭。你知道有的時候我專心工作忘了時間！

M.那不行，上星期開會討論財務，可數據全在你手上。你不到，會沒法開。There's no way to have the meeting without you，所以你浪費了大家的時間。Being late is a sign of disrespect。C: 我不是有意沒禮貌，有的時候是沒法控制的。那天我剛要去開會，電話鈴響了。

M：That's simple.Don't answer it。打電話的人要是有重要事情他會留言。你開完會可以打回電。陳：還有一次，開會的時間到了，可是一個客戶來看我。我總不能不見吧？

M：實在沒有辦法的時候，inform others that you are delayed。這樣別人就會覺得你是尊重他們的。陳：行，知道了。哎，Mary，你再給我總結一下吧，免得我忘了。

M：Punctuality simply means being on time;punctuality is important in American business;Being late is a sign of disrespect。

C：謝謝，Mary!今天又學會一個詞--punc-punctua-punctuality!punctuality!
