第一篇：英語美文段落背誦

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.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human 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.------

Risks To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach out for another is to risk involvement.To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.To place your ideas and your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To live is to risk dying.To hope is to risk despair.To try is to risk failure.But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.The person, who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.This person may avoid suffering and sorrow, but cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.Chained by attitudes he is a slave;and forfeited freedom.Only a person who risks is free.------

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;A time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;A time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;A time to get, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;A time to rend, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;A time to love, and a time to hate;a time of war, and a time of peace.－

Ecclesiastes 3:3

------

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after

righteousness: for they shall be filled.Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the

children of God.Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.--Matthew 5:3-11------

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.Amen.--Matthew 6:9-13------

First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.Then they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.--Martin Niem?ller------

An Anonymous Poem After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security，And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises，And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, And learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans.After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.And you learn that really can endure…that your really are strong, And you really do have worth.------

Happiness Consists in Love

Who can say in what remoteness of time, in what difference of earthly shape, love first comes to us as a stranger in the jungle? We, in our human family, know him through dependence in childhood, through possession in youth, through sorrow and loss in their season.In childhood we are happy to receive;it is the first opening of love.In youth we take and give, dedicate and possess—rapture and anguish are mingled, until parenthood brings a dedication that, to happy, must ask for no return.All these are new horizons of content, which the lust of holding, the enemy of love, slowly contaminates.Loss, sorrow and separation come, sickness and death;possession, that tormented us, is nothing in our hands;it vanishes.Love’s elusive enchantment, his ubiquitous presence, again became apparent;and in age we may reach a haven that asking for nothing knows how to enjoy.------

Mystery We are all still romantics at heart.The romantics give us back our moon, for instance, which science has taken away from us and made into just another airport.Secretly we all want the moon to be what it was before—a mysterious, hypnotic light in the sky.We want love to be mysterious too, as it used to be, and not a set of psycho-therapeutic rules for interpersonal relationships.We crave mystery even as we forge ahead toward the solution of one cosmic mystery after another.

Unit 1Para 11--12page 4

We had wanted to let him know that no matter how difficult things got in the world, there would always be people who cared about him.We ended up reminding ourselves instead.For Jimmy, the love with which we sang was a welcome bonus, but mostly he had just wanted to see everyone else happy again.Just as my father's death had changed Jimmy's world overnight, September 11th changed our lives;the world we'd known was gone.But, as we sang for Jimmy and held each other tight afterward praying for peace around the world, we were reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and family would get us through whatever life might present.The simplicity with which Jimmy had reconciled everything for us should not have been surprising.There had never been any limitations to what Jimmy's love could accomplish.Unit 2Para 10 page 10

If iron levels are low, talk with a physician to see if the deficiency should be corrected by modifying your diet or by taking supplements.In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings.Supplements may produce a feeling of wanting to throw up, and may be poisonous in some cases.The best sources of iron, and the only sources of the form of iron most readily absorbed by the body, are meat, chicken, and fish.Good sources of other forms of iron include dates, beans, and some leafy green vegetables.Unit 3Para 14 page 60

Commitment among parents is a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture.For the student to gain admission, parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate the school's philosophies and outlook.The parents agree in writing to meet monthly in one of 20 regional groups, go to a yearly three-day regional retreat, and spend at least three times a year in workshops, discussion groups and seminars at Bath.Parents of Maine students have an attendance rate of 95% in the many sessions.Joe and Malcolm Gauld both say children tend to do their utmost when they see their parents making similar efforts.The biggest obstacle for many parents, they say, is to realize their own weaknesses.Unit 4Para 9-10 page 89

Grant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic, an

often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers.The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse.He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention.Wood liked to paint faces he knew well.For the grave farmer he used his dentist, a sour-looking man.For the woman standing alongside him, the artist chose his sister, Nan.He stretched the models' necks a bit, but there was no doubt who posed for the portrait.Nan later remarked that the fame she gained from American Gothic saved her from a very boring life.Unit 6Para 7 Page 148

Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the earth's crust move, the stresses between plates, how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake.Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy.However, even if prediction becomes possible, people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared.These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes.Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphasis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects.Unit 9Para 3 Page 229

Prenuptial agreements-or “prenups”-are designed to address these problems as they arise.Prenups are negotiated by lawyers for the prospective spouses ,and signed before a minister binds then in marriage.They have been gaining in acceptance in the United States since the early 1980s,when more states began passing laws that affected the division of financial assets in a divorce.The laws are based either on “community property”(split evenly)or on “reasonable distribution”(whatever a

judge thinks is “fair”).

By heart

Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end.In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines night after night.One would expect them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter.Yet this is not always the case.A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years.In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full.One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart.The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell.Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands.He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat.But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual.It was simply a blank sheet of paper.The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow-actor had at last learnt his lines.The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds.Then, squinting his eyes, he said: 'The light is dim.Read the letter to me.' And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler.Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied: 'The light is indeed dim, sire.I must get my glasses.' With this, he hurried off the stage.Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.有些劇目十分成功，以致連續上演好幾年。這樣一來，可憐的演員們可倒霉了。因為他們需要一夜連著一夜地重復同樣的臺詞。人們以為，這些演員一定會把臺詞背得爛熟，絕不會臨場結巴的，但情況卻并不總是這樣。

有一位名演員曾在一出極為成功的劇目中扮演一個貴族角色，這個貴族已在巴士底獄被關押了20年。在最后一幕中，獄卒手持一封信上場，然后將信交給獄中那位貴族。盡管那個貴族每場戲都得念一遍那封信。但他還是堅持要求將信的全文寫在信紙上。

一天晚上，獄卒決定與他的同事開一個玩笑，看看他反復演出這么多場之后，是否已將信的內容記熟了。大幕拉開，最后一幕戲開演，貴族獨自一人坐在鐵窗后陰暗的牢房里。這時獄卒上場，手里拿著那封珍貴的信。獄卒走進牢房，將信交給貴族。但這回獄卒給貴族的信沒有像往常那樣把全文寫全，而是一張白紙。獄卒熱切地觀察著，急于想了解他的同事是否記熟了臺詞。貴族盯著紙看了幾秒鐘，然后，眼珠一轉，說道：“光線太暗，請給我讀一下這封信?！闭f完，他一下子把信遞給獄卒。獄卒發現自己連一個字也記不住，于是便說：“陛下，這兒光線的確太暗了，我得去眼鏡拿來?！彼贿呎f著，一邊匆匆下臺。貴族感到非常好笑的是：一會兒工夫，獄卒重新登臺，拿來一副眼鏡以及平時使用的那封信，然后為那囚犯念了起來。

Three Days to See I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight;silence would tech him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see.Recently I was visited by a very good friends who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed.“Nothing in particular.” she replied.I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such reposes, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch.I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf.I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine.In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter's sleep.I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions;and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush thought my open finger.To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.To me the page ant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.我常常想，如果每個人在他成年的早期有一段時間致瞎致聾，那會是一種幸事，黑暗會使他更珍惜視力，寂靜會教導他享受聲音。

我不時地詢問過我的能看見東西的朋友們，以了解他們看到什么。最近，我的一個很好的朋友來看我，她剛從一片森林里散步許久回來，我問她看到了什么，她答道：“沒什么特別的?！比绻也皇橇晳T了聽到這種回答，我都可能不相信，因為很久以來我已確信這個情況：能看得見的人卻看不到什么。

我獨自一人，在林子里散步一小時之久而沒有看到任何值得注意的東西，那怎么可能呢？我自己，一個不能看見東西的人，僅僅通過觸覺，都發現許許多多令我有興趣的東西。我感觸到一片樹葉的完美的對稱性。我用手喜愛地撫摸過一株白樺那光潮的樹皮，或一棵松樹的粗糙樹皮。春天，我摸著樹干的枝條滿懷希望地搜索著嫩芽，那是嚴冬的沉睡后，大自然蘇醒的第一個跡象。我撫摸過花朵那令人愉快的天鵝絨般的質地，感覺到它那奇妙的卷繞，一些大自然奇跡向我展現了。有時，如果我很幸運，我把手輕輕地放在一棵小樹上，還能感受到一只高聲歌唱的小鳥的愉快顫抖，我十分快樂地讓小溪澗的涼水穿過我張開的手指流淌過去。對我來說，一片茂密的地毯式的松針葉或松軟而富彈性的草地比最豪華的波斯地毯更受歡迎。對我來說四季的壯觀而華麗的展示是一部令人激動的、無窮盡的戲劇。這部戲劇的表演，通過我的手指端涌淌出來。

YOUTH

Samuel Ullman 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.Youth means a tempera-mental 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.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human 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.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 waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.青春

塞繆爾·厄爾曼

青春不是年華，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，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。

一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺希望。

Hello, Chicago.If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.We are, and always will be, the United States of America.It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes we can.America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves--if our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope.And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.您好，芝加哥

如果還有人仍在懷疑美國是否是一個一切皆有可能的國度的話，如果還有人仍在疑慮我們美國的締造者的夢想是否還存在于我們這個時代的話，如果還有人仍在質疑我們民主的力量的話，今晚你就可以得到答案。

它的答案告訴延伸線，圍繞學校和教堂的人數這個民族從未見過的，等待三個小時，四個小時的人們，許多第一次在他們的生活，因為他們認為，這次一定是不同的，他們的聲音可能是不同的。

不管你是年輕人還是老年人，是富人還是窮人，是民主黨人還是共和黨人，是黑人還是白人，也不管你是拉丁美洲人或亞洲人還是本土美國人，更無論你是否為同性變者、是否是殘疾人，這是美國人共同的答案。美國人向全世界傳遞一個聲音，那就是我們的選舉從不分紅州或藍州。

我們屬于，而且永遠只屬于美利堅合眾國。

它的答案，導致這些誰一直在說這么長時間這么多的是玩世不恭和恐懼和懷疑是我們能夠實現把他們手中的弧的歷史和彎曲再次向希望一個更美好的一天。

雖然等待了很長時間，但在今晚的這一決定性時刻，由于我們在這次選舉中的努力，美國終于迎來了變革。

一名男子降落在月球上，墻上下來在柏林，世界是連接我們自己的科學和想象力。

今年，在這次選舉中，她談到她的手指到屏幕上，她和演員投票，因為106年后，在美國，通過最好的時候和最黑暗的時間，她知道怎樣可以改變美國。

是我們能夠做到。

美國，我們來到迄今。我們已經看到這么多。但有這么多事情要做。因此，今夜，讓我們反問一下我們自己，如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀；如果我的女兒能夠幸運地活得像安-尼克森-庫珀那樣長，他們將會看到什么樣的變化？我們那時將會取得什么樣的進步？

這是我們來回答問題的機會，這是我們的時刻。

這是我們的時代，要使我們的人民重新工作并將機會留給我們的子孫；重新恢復繁榮并促進和平；回歸我們的美國夢想并重申一個基本事實--在眾人之中，我們也是其中一個；當我們呼吸，當我們充滿希望的時候，我們遭遇冷嘲熱諷和質疑，那些人認為我們無法做到。我們將用一句話來做出回應：不，我們可以！

謝謝您。上帝保佑你。愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

We are on a Journey

Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence.We are not at rest;we are on a journey.Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady ceaseless progress toward an unseen goal.We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday.Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing.For the mere advance of time is a change.It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July.The season makes the difference.The limitations that are childlike in the children are childish in the man.Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another.Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed.It sets us forward or backward.The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole.To decline is to accept — the other alternative.Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, — you must be a little nearer to some port or other;for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment;the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would;there can be no pause until you come into port.無論你身處何處，也不管你是誰，此刻，抑或是我們生命存在的每一個瞬間，有一件事對我們來說都是一樣的：我們沒有停留；我們正在旅途上。

生命是一種運動，是一種趨勢，是一個向著未知目標奮進的無休止的行進。每天，我們有所得亦有所失。我們時時刻刻都在改變，即使我們的狀態和角色看上去沒有絲毫的變化。只因為時間推移的本身就是一種變化。對于一塊荒蕪的土地，一月和七月是截然不同的。因為季節的變化讓他有所區別。能力的局限在孩子們的身上只是一種天真，而在大人的身上卻表現出一種幼稚。

我們做的所有事情都是向著某個方向邁出了一步。即使是失敗，本身也是一個作為，左右著我們的進退。磁針的負極作用與正極作用是一樣的真實。

對比昨天的你，今天你是否離自己的目標更近了？答案是肯定的，你一定離某個港口更近了些。因為自從你的航船在生命的海洋中起航的那一刻起，你就從來沒有停泊過。海水太深了，你尋找不到拋錨之處。你永遠都不可能停下來，除非你到達自己的港口。

《海上鋼琴師》 經典英文對白

1900: Moonlight city.You just couldn’t see an end to it.It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me ,Max.It was what I didn’t see.Take the piano.Keys begin.Keys end.You know there are 88 of them.They’re not infinite.You’re infinite.And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite.I like that.That I can live by.But you get me up on that gangway, and you roll them out

in front of me.Keyboards have millions and billions of keys that never end.That keyboard is infinite.Then on that keyboard there’s no music you can play.That’s God’s piano.Did you see the streets?

There’re thousands of them.How do you choose just one?

One woman, one house, one way to die…….You don’t even know where it comes to an end.Aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart with the

thought of it?

I was born on this ship.And the world passed me by.But 2000 people at a time and there’re old wishes here.But nevermore that fit between prow and stern..You played out your happiness bit on a piano that was not

infinite.I learned to live that way.Land?

Land is a ship too big for me，It’s a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to

strong, music I don’t know how to play.I can never get off this ship.At best, I didn’t step off my life.After all, I don’t exist for anyone.偌大的城市，綿延無盡。

并非是我眼見的讓我停住了腳步，而是我所看不見的。你能明白嗎？

拿鋼琴來說。

鍵盤有始亦有終。

你確切地知道88個鍵就在那兒，錯不了。

它們并不是無限的，而你，才是無限的。你能在鍵盤上表現的音樂是無限的。

我喜歡這樣，我能輕松應付。

而你現在讓我走過跳板，走到城市里，等著我的是一個沒有盡頭的鍵盤。

我又怎能在這樣的鍵盤上彈奏呢？

那是上帝的鍵盤?。?/p>

你看到那數不清的街道嗎？

如何只選擇其中一條去走？

一個共渡一生的女人，一幢屬于自己的屋子，一種生與死的方式~~~~

你甚至不知道什么時候才是盡頭。

一想到這個，難道不會害怕、會崩潰嗎？

我在這艘船上出生。

世事千變萬化，然這艘船每次只載2000人。

這里有著希望，但僅在船頭和船尾之間。

你可以在有限的鋼琴上奏出你的歡欣快樂。

我習慣了這樣的生活。

陸地？

陸地對我來說是一艘太大的船，太漂亮的女人，太長的旅程，太濃烈的香水，無從著手的音樂。

我永遠無法走下這艘船，這樣的話，我寧可舍棄我的生命。

畢竟，我從來沒有為任何人存在過

If I Were a Boy Again

If i were a boy again, I would practise perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or invonvenient.If we want light, we must conquer darkness.Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“There are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramides-the eagle and the snail.” If i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention;I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand.I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough.I often hear grown-up people say,“I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, althought i wished to do so,” and the reason is, the habit was not formed in yourth.If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of memory.I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and , on every possible occasion.It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately,but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble.It only needs early cultivation to become a power.If i were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side.Life is very much like a mirrow.If you smile upon it, it smiles back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms not only the heart fo the owner, but of all that come in contact with it.Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut from love.If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say“No” oftenner.I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing a unworthy act because it is unworthy.If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards stangers as well.The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would , if I werea boy again, try still harder to make others happy..假如我又回到了童年

假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，決不因為事情艱難或者麻煩而撒手不干，我們要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有時能同天才相比。俗話說：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有兩種——鷹和蝸牛?！?/p>

假如我又回到了童年，我就要養成專心致志的習慣；有事在手，就決不讓任何東西讓我分心。我要牢記：優秀的滑冰手從不試圖同時滑向兩個不同的方向。如果及早養成這種專心致志的習慣，它將成為我們生命的一部分。我常聽成年人說：“雖然我希望能集中注意聽牧師講道或讀書，但往往做不到?！倍蚓褪悄贻p時沒有養成這種習慣。

假如我現在能重新開始我的生命，我就要更注意記憶力的培養。我要采取一切可能的辦法，并且在一切可能的場合，增強記憶力。要正確無誤地記住一些東西，在開始階段的確要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，記憶力本身就會起作用，使記憶成為輕而易舉的事，只需及早培養，記憶自會成為一種才能。

假如我又回到了童年，我就要培養勇氣。一位明智的作家曾說過：“世上沒有東西比勇氣更溫文爾雅，也沒有東西比懦怯更殘酷無情。” 我們常常過多地自尋煩惱，杞人憂天。“怕禍害比禍害本身更可怕?！狈彩露加形ｋU，但鎮定沉著往往能克服最嚴重的危險。對一切禍福做好準備，那么就沒有什么災難可以害怕的了。

假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事樂觀。生活猶如一面鏡子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑；

如果你雙眉緊鎖，向它投以懷疑的目光，它也將還以你同樣的目光。內心的歡樂不僅溫暖了歡樂者自己的心，也溫暖了所有與之接觸者的心。“誰拒愛于門外，也必將被愛拒諸門外?！?/p>

假如我又回到了童年，我就要養成經常說“不”字的習慣。一個少年要能挺得起腰，拒絕做不應該做的事，就因為這事不值得做。我可以寫上好幾頁談談早年培養這一點的重要性

假如我又回到了童年，我就要要求自己對伙伴和朋友更加禮貌，而且對陌生人也應如此。在坎坷的生活道路上，最細小的禮貌猶如在漫長的冬天為我們歌唱的小鳥，那歌聲使冰天雪地的寒冬變得較易忍受。

最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不會力圖為自己謀幸福，好像這就是人生唯一的目的；與之相反，我要更努力為他人謀幸福.No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!

In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: “No matter what, I'll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes.As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning.Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right corner of the building;he rushed there and

started digging through the ruins.As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: “My son!” “My daughter!” Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It's too late!They're all dead!You can't help!Go home!Come on, face reality, there's nothing you can do!” To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?” And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school's ruins saying, “Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere.You're in danger.We'll take care of it.Go home.” To which this loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”

The police came and said, “You're angry, anxious and it's over.You're endangering others.Go home.We'll handle it!” To which he replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice.He screamed his son's name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad!?!It's me, Dad!I told the other kids not to worry.I told them that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved.You promised, No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!You did it, Dad!” “What's going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad.We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here.When the building collapsed, it made a triangle, and it saved us.” “Come out, boy!”

“No, Dad!Let the other kids out first, cause I know you'll get me!No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!”

第四篇：經典演講背誦段落

經典演講背誦段落

人最寶貴的東西是生命。生命對每個人來講只有一次。一個人的生命應該這樣度過：當他回首往事時，不會因虛度年華而悔恨，也不會因碌碌無為而羞恥。在臨死的時候，他能夠說：我的整個生命和全部精力，都已獻給了世界上最壯麗的事業——為人類的解放事業而斗爭。

——［俄］奧斯特洛夫斯基

幸福并不在于單純地占有金錢，幸福還在于取得成就后的喜悅，在于創造努力時的激情。務必不能再忘記勞動帶來的喜悅和激勵，而去瘋狂地追逐那轉瞬即逝的利潤。如果這些暗淡的日子能使我們認識到，我們真正的使命不是要別人侍奉，而是要為自己和同胞們服務的話，那么，我們付出的代價就是完全值得的?！猍美] 弗蘭克林?羅斯福

我能奉獻的惟有熱血、辛勞、淚水和汗水。我們所面臨的將是一場極為殘酷的考驗，我們面臨的將是曠日持久的斗爭和苦難。人類應當向自己的目標邁進。此刻，我精神振奮，滿懷信心地承擔起自己的任務。我確信，只要我們大家聯合，我們的事業就不會挫敗：“來吧，讓我們群策群力，并肩前進！”

——[英] 喬治?蕭伯納

美國同胞們，不要問美國能為你們做些什么，應該問你們能為美國貢獻些什么。全世界的同胞們，不要問美國將為你做些什么，應該問我們一同能為人類的自由做些什么。無愧于心是我們惟一可靠的獎賞，歷史是我們行動最終的裁判。這一切讓我們大步向前，去引領我們所熱愛的這片土地。

——[美] 約翰?肯尼迪

只要動力仍在，人生之旅就尚未結束。終點之后的慢跑并非停止不前，因為活著便不能如此?；钪鸵兴鳛?，這才是生命的真諦。

——[美] 奧利佛?文德爾?荷默斯

樹和草

人的生活方式有兩種，第一種方式是像草一樣活著，你盡管活著，每年還在成長，但是你畢竟是一棵草，你吸收雨露陽光，但是長不大。人們可以踩過你，但是人們不會因為你的痛苦，而他產生痛苦； 人們不會因為你被踩了，而來憐憫你，因為人們本身就沒有看到你。所以我們每一個人，都應該像樹一樣的成長，即使我們現在什么都不是，但是只要你有樹的種子，即使你被踩到泥土中間，你依然能夠吸收泥土的養分，自己成長起來。當你長成參天大樹以后，遙遠的地方，人們就能看到你； 走近你，你能給人一片綠色?；钪敲利惖娘L景，死了依然是棟梁之才，活著死了都有用。這就是我們每一個同學做人的標準和成長的標準。

河流的夢想

每一條河流都有自己不同的生命曲線，但是每一條河流都有自己的夢想，那就是奔向大海。我們的生命，有的時候會是泥沙，你可能慢慢地就會像泥沙一樣，沉淀下去了。一旦你沉淀下去了，也許你不用再為了前進而努力了，但是你卻永遠見不到陽光了。所以我建議大家，不管你現在的是生命怎么樣的，一定要有水的精神，像水一樣不斷積蓄自己的力量，不斷的沖破障礙，當你發現時機不到的時候，把自己的厚度給積累起來，當有一天時機來臨的時候，你就能夠奔騰入海。

今天，我開始新的生活;今天，我的老繭化為塵埃。我在人群中昂首闊步，不會有人認出我來，因為我不再是過去的自己，我已擁有新的生命。

我要用全身心的愛來迎接今天;我愛雄心勃勃的人，他們給我靈感;我愛失敗的人，他們給我教訓;我愛王

侯將相，因為他們也是凡人;我愛謙恭之人，因為他們非凡;我愛富人，因為他們孤獨;我愛窮人，因為窮人太多了;我愛少年，因為他們真誠;我愛長者，因為他們有智慧;我愛美麗的人，因為他們眼中流露著凄迷;我愛丑陋的人，因為他們有顆寧靜的心;我要用全身心的愛來迎接今天。

堅持不懈，直到成功。

我不因昨日的成功而滿足，因為這是失敗的先兆。我要忘卻昨日的一切，是好是壞，都讓它隨風而去。我信心百倍，迎接新的太陽，相信“今天是此生最好的一天”。只要我一息尚存，就要堅持到底，因為我已深知成功的秘訣：堅持不懈，終會成功。

今天是我生命中的最后一天；

生命只有一次，而人生也不過是時間的累積。因此，我珍惜今天的一分一秒，因為它們將一去不復返。我無法把今天存入銀行，明天再來取用。時間像風一樣不可捕捉。每一分一秒，我要用雙手捧住，用愛心撫摸，因為它們如此寶貴。垂死的人用畢生的錢財都無法換得一口生氣。我無法計算時間的價值，它們是無價之寶！

我要笑遍世界；

我要用笑聲點綴今天，我要用歌聲照亮黑夜。我不再苦苦尋覓快樂，我要在繁忙的工作中忘記悲傷。我要享受今天的快樂，快樂不像糧食可以貯藏，我不是為將來而活。

我現在就付諸行動;我的幻想毫無價值，我的計劃渺如塵埃，我的目標不可能達到。一切的一切毫無意義,除非我付諸行動。成功不是等待。如果我遲疑，她會投入別人的懷抱，永遠棄我而去。此時，此地，此人。我現在就付諸行動。

面朝大海

海子

從明天起做個幸福的人 喂馬劈柴周游世界

從明天起關心糧食和蔬菜 我有一所房子 面朝大海春暖花開

從明天起和每一個親人通信 告訴他們我的幸福

那幸福的閃電告訴我的 我將告訴每一個人

給每一條河每一座山取個溫暖的名字 陌生人我也為你祝福 愿你有一個燦爛前程

給每一條河每一座山取個溫暖的名字 愿你有情人終成眷屬 愿你在塵世獲得幸福

我只愿面朝大海春暖花開

第五篇：大學英語三級背誦段落

Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas — none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success.No task is too hard.No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult.Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison.Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism.Both were called “slow to learn” and written off as idiots by their teachers.Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions.Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn.Yet both boys' parents believed in them.They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed.In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.個人經歷、教育機會、個人困境，這些都不能阻擋一個全力以赴追求成功的、有著堅強意志的人。任務再苦，準備再長，難度再大，都不能讓他放棄自己的追求。就以本時代最有學問的兩位科學家——阿爾伯特〃愛因斯坦和托馬斯〃愛迪生為例，他們都曾面臨巨大的障礙和極端的批評，都曾被說成“不開竅”，被老師當成笨蛋而放棄。托馬斯〃愛迪生還曾逃學，因為老師嫌他問的問題太多而經常鞭打他。愛因斯坦一直到將近9歲才能流利地說話，學習成績太差，有些人認為他都已經學不好了。然而，這兩個男孩的父母都相信他們。他們堅持不懈地每天和兒子一起努力，孩子們也了解到，要想成功，就絕不要怕付出長期而艱辛的努力。最終，愛因斯坦和愛迪生都擺脫了童年的困擾，進而作出了造福當今全世界的偉大發現。

Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expend the substantial effort required to achieve it.Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart.The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire — a robust, fierce will and focus — that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail.As a wise saying goes: “It's not how many times you fall down that matters.It's how many times you get back up that makes success!” 很多人只是嘴上說他們想要什么東西，但并不真正地付出大量努力去實現。很多人因為害怕失敗而不敢全心嘗試。而成功的秘訣在于內心燃燒的欲望——一種堅定不移的意志和專注力——從而激發行動的決心，即使疲憊，即使失敗，也會繼續準備，繼續前進。正如一句箴言所說：“你摔倒了多少次并不要緊；你能多少次重新站起來對成功才至關重要。

Audrey felt it was wicked that billions of children were deprived of simple joys and drowned in overwhelming misery.She believed deeply in the ideology that all people share in the duty to care for those in need.Audrey Hepburn was always ready to lead by example.She said: “When you deny childhood, you deny life.” She saw UNICEF's work as an integral, sacred force in people's lives and said of UNICEF's results, “Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist.” 奧黛麗覺得，太多的兒童被剝奪了簡單的快樂而陷入無邊的痛苦之中，這是一種罪惡。她堅信一個理念：所有人都有責任去關心那些需要幫助的人。奧黛麗〃赫本始終都身為表率。她說：“當你放棄童年，你就放棄了生命。”她將聯合國兒童基金會的工作看作人們生活中不可分割、神圣的力量，談到其成果時她說：“任何不相信奇跡的人都不是一個現實主義者。”

The larger lesson, though, is that our thoughts are saturated with the familiar.The brain is a space of near infinite possibility, which means that it spends a lot of time and energy choosing what not to notice.As a result, creativity is traded away for efficiency;we think in finite, literal prose, not symbolic verse.A bit of distance, however, helps loosen the cognitive chains that imprison us, making it easier to mingle the new with the old;the mundane is grasped from a slightly more abstract perspective.According to research, the experience of an exotic culture endows us with a valuable open-mindedness, making it easier to realize that even a trivial thing can have multiple meanings.Consider the act of leaving food on the plate: In China, this is often seen as a compliment, a signal that the host has provided enough to eat.But in America the same act is a subtle insult, an indication that the food wasn't good enough to finish.但更應該知道的是我們的思想被熟悉的東西所充滿。大腦是一個幾乎具有無限可能性的空間，這就意味著它花了大量的時間和精力選擇不去注意什么。因此,我們犧牲創造力來換取效率。我們以字義明確的散文方式思考，而非以具有象征意義的詩歌方式思考。然而，一點的距離就可以幫助我們放松禁錮我們認知的鏈條，使新舊思想的結合更容易，對平淡無奇的事情可從更抽象的角度加以認知。有研究指出，體驗異國文化可以賦予我們寶貴的開放性思維，使我們更容易明白即使是微不足道的事物也可以有多種意義。想一想把食物剩在盤子里這個行為:在中國，這通常被看成是一種贊美，說明主人提供了足夠的食物。但是在美國，同樣的行為卻暗含侮辱，表明食物不夠好，人們不愿意吃完。

Of course, this mental flexibility doesn't come from mere distance, a simple change in latitude and longitude.Instead, this renaissance of creativity appears to be a side effect of difference: We need to change cultures, to experience the disorienting diversity of human traditions.The same facets of foreign travel that are so confusing(Do I tip the waiter? Where is this train taking me?)turn out to have a lasting impact, making us more creative because we're less insular.We're reminded of all that we don't know, which is nearly everything;we're surprised by the constant stream of surprises.Even in this globalized age, we can still be amazed at all the earthly things that weren't included in the Let's Go guidebook and that certainly don't exist back home.當然，這種思維的靈活性不僅僅來自純粹的距離變化，即簡單的經緯度的變化。相反，這種創造力的復興似乎是差異所帶來的副產品: 我們需要處于不同的文化中，體驗人類傳統中紛繁復雜的多樣性。在國外旅行中讓人迷惑的同一個方面的問題（如我該給服務生小費嗎？火車要把我帶到哪里？)，產生了一種持久的影響,使我們更加具有創造性,因為我們不再那么視野狹隘了。我們了解了我們不知道的東西，而這些東西幾乎涵蓋了一切；我們對接連不斷的驚喜感到驚奇。即使在這個全球化的時代，我們仍然會對所有未包括在《旅行指南》中的、平常的東西感到驚奇，而這些東西在自己家中也不存在。

The fact is that Chinese parents do things that seem provocative, unimaginable, even illegal, to opinionated Westerners.Chinese mothers can dispense with formal courtesies and say to an obese child who gorges on food, “Hey fatty, lose some weight.” By contrast, Western parents must be humane, tiptoe around the issue, talk in terms of “health”, and never ever mention the f-word.And still their kids end up in therapy for eating disorders and a negative self-image.I've thought long and hard about how Chinese parents can get away with what they do, and I think there are three ideological differences between Chinese and Western parents.事實是，中國父母的做法，對固執己見的西方人來說，令人憤慨，難以想象，甚至是違法的。中**親可以不客氣地對正在狼吞虎咽的肥胖孩子說:“喂，小胖子，你要減肥了?！迸c此相反，西方父母必須體諒地、小心翼翼而拐彎抹角地談及“健康”，而且永遠都不會提及“胖”字。結果，孩子還是因為飲食紊亂和消極的自我評價得去求醫問藥。長期以來我一直苦思冥想，中國父母這樣做是如何能夠全身而退的，我認為中西方的父母之間存在三種意識形態上的差異。

Westerners preach respecting the children's individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing a positive and nurturing environment.But while Western children may have a high opinion of themselves and glowing self-esteem, how do they perform in the real world? Chinese parents protect their children by armoring them for the future, letting them see what they're capable of, and conferring upon them skills, work habits, and inner confidence that no one can ever take away.When the time comes to perform, Chinese children have a blueprint for success;they know how to compete with the best the world has to offer.The proof is in the pudding!

西方人宣揚尊重孩子的個性，鼓勵他們去追求真正的激情，支持他們的選擇，并提供積極有益的環境。但西方孩子在自視甚高、自尊極強的同時，在現實世界又會表現如何？中國父母如此磨礪子女為將來計，讓其了解自己的所能，并賦予他們技能、工作習慣和內在信心這些沒人能拿走的東西，這樣來對孩子進行保護。到表現時機來臨時，中國孩子已經成竹在胸；他們知道該如何利用自己在這個世界上所能學到的最好的本事去競爭?！安级　焙脡?，一試便知！

She turned down three million dollars to pen her autobiography and instead accepted one dollar a year in the more conscientious role as diplomat for UNICEF.For seven months out of each of her last five years, she and Robby left the peace and beauty in their cozy home to embark on outreach trips into some of the most difficult places on earth.From Bangladesh, Sudan, India, Vietnam, Kenya, Ethiopia, Central and South America, to Somalia, Audrey Hepburn traveled representing UNICEF, making over 50 emotionally draining and physically dangerous missions into bleak destinations to raise world awareness of wars and droughts.Having been a victim of war, she understood the blessing of being the beneficiary of food, clothing, and, most of all, hope.別人出三百萬美金請她寫自傳，她拒絕了。但她卻接受了每年一美元的聯合國兒童基金會大使這個更需責任心的角色。在生命的最后五年里，每年她和羅比都有七個月離開他們溫馨居所的靜謐和美麗，啟程外出到地球上最困難的一些地方去。從孟加拉國、蘇丹、印度、越南、肯尼亞、埃塞俄比亞、中南美洲到索馬里，奧黛麗〃赫本代表聯合國兒童基金會四處奔走，承擔了五十多項勞心勞力、危及生命安全的任務，深入到荒涼之地，喚起世界人民對戰爭和旱災的關注。因為自己曾經也是戰爭受害者，她理解得到食品和衣物的援助，尤其是獲得希望，是多大的幸福。

如今，很多年輕人不再選擇“穩定”的工作，他們更愿意自主創業，依靠自己的智慧和奮斗去實現自我價值。青年創業（young entrepreneurship）是未來國家經濟活力的來源，創業者的成功不但會創造財富、增加就業機會、改善大家的生活，從長遠來看，對于國家更是一件好事，創業者正是讓中國經濟升級換代的力量。尤其是在當前，國家鼓勵大眾創業、萬眾創新，在政策上給予中小企業支持，這更加激發了年輕人的創業熱情。

Nowadays, many young people no longer choose “stable” jobs.Instead, they prefer to start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts.Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future.The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term.Entrepreneurs are a driving force in upgrading China’s economy.Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and small businesses.This further arouses young people's enthusiasm to start their own businesses.水墨畫（ink and wash painting）是中國獨具特色的傳統藝術形式之一，是中國國畫的代表。它大約始于唐代，興盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的歷史，其間經歷了不斷的發展、提高和完善。水墨畫的創作工具和材料是具有濃厚中國特色的毛筆、宣紙和墨，其作品特點也與此緊密相關。例如，水和墨相互調和，使作品具有干濕濃淡的層次。水墨和宣紙的交融滲透也使畫作善于表現豐富的意象，從而達到獨特的審美效果。水墨畫在中國繪畫史上具有很高的地位，甚至被認為是衡量東方繪畫藝術水平的標準。

Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting.It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties.With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection.The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e.brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings.For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness.The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.Ink and wash painting holds a high status in the history of Chinese painting, and it is even regarded as the criterion to evaluate the artistic level of Oriental paintings.麗江地處云南省西北部，境內多山。麗江古城坐落在玉龍雪山腳下，是一座風景秀麗的歷史文化名城，也是我國保存完好的少數民族古城之一。麗江古城始建于南宋，距今約有800年的歷史。麗江不僅歷史悠久，而且民族眾多，少數民族人口占全區人口的半數以上。隨著麗江旅游業的發展，到麗江古城觀光游覽的中外游客日益增多。1997年12月，麗江古城申報世界文化遺產獲得成功，填補了中國在世界文化遺產中無歷史文化名城的空白。

Lijiang is a mountainous city in northwest Yunnan Province.The old town of Lijiang, located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a town of scenic beauty and known for its history and culture.It is also a well-preserved old town with features of ethnic minorities.The construction work of the old town was started from the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years from now.Not only does Lijiang boast a long history, but also it boasts many ethnic minorities who make up over a half of the total population in the region.With the booming of Lijiang tourism, the old town of Lijiang is receiving a growing number of tourists from home and abroad.In December 1997, the old town succeeded in applying to be named a World Cultural Heritage Site, filling the gap of lacking a noted historical and cultural city in China on the World Cultural Heritage List.中央電視臺春節聯歡晚會（簡稱“春晚”）自1983年開辦以來，已成為中國人文化生活中不可缺少的文化消費品和一個揮之不去的文化符號。雖然眾口難調，但必須承認的是，“春晚”已成為公眾所不可缺少的“新民俗”。春晚不僅是一臺晚會，更是一種儀式與象征，一種文化與標簽，一種情感與寄托。隨著時代發展及新媒體的出現，觀眾的選擇和需求日漸多樣化，“春晚”也在與時俱進，以滿足大眾日益增長的文化需求。

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala(Spring Festival Gala for short), which was started in 1983, has become an indispensable cultural consumer product and a cultural symbol in the cultural life of the Chinese people.Though it's hard to satisfy the tastes of all the people, it has to be admitted that the Spring Festival Gala has become a “new custom” for the public that they can't live without.The Spring Festival Gala is more than a gala;it is a ritual and a symbol, a culture and a label, and an emotion and a place where people entrust their hearts to.With the development of the times and the emerging of new media, the audiences are having more diversified choices and demands.Corresponding, the Spring Festival Gala is also advancing with the times to satisfy the growing cultural needs of the people.
