Youth

Youth is not a time of life;it's a state of mind;it's not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;it's a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;it's the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for the adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of 60 more than 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 message 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 cyniciam 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.Love your mother Let us take a moment of the time/ just to pay tribute and show appreciation /to the person called MOM /though some may not say it openly to their mother.There’s no one who could take the place of her.Cherish every single moment together with her.Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!Your mother will be there for you;to listen to your sorrows, your frustrations, etc.Ask yourself “Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her ‘blues’ of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?”Show her your due respect, though you may have a different view from hers.Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart.Love her more than you love yourself, for life is meaningless without her.Time Is Money “Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable.But time is more valuable than money.The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained.Moreover, sometimes persons can exist without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live without air.Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men.Since time is an invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously（無意地）.Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.Man can live only at most to about 100 years.It seems fairly long, but in fact it is rather short.We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man accomplish in such a short period? Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work.We will race with it.We will study and work hard.Never waste a little bit of it.Hope Hope is what makes one's life continue forward.Setting goals for oneself is fine, but impossible to reach without hope.Many humans believe that hope is what creates disappointment;a sad belief to have.For hope provides one with the ability to project success in one's mind, aids in one's acceptance of one's faults and to know that challenges lie ahead, and provides the strength needed to remain appropriately focused on reaching one's goals.Hope provides one with trust, healthy and responsible anticipation, and gives one optimism.Hope does not create disappointment, expectation does.For when one expects, one ignorantly narrows one's focus.Expectation is what creates disappointment by causing each expectant individual to feel pessimistic with failure, impatient with new fears and challenges, and immature and uneducated when their narrow scope of goal achieving goes awry.Hope brings one's focus on goal achieving into a broader view allowing one to see new fears and challenges and helping one to prepare.Try to Be a Good Student Perhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school, but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it.In my opinion it is rather easy if you can act on the following points.First of all, make full use of your time and work hard.Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time past will never come back.The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study.Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day.Secondly, use your own head and present your point of view.Credulous（輕信的）attitude will only make you take anything for granted.With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory.Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc.don’t ignore the harm of all work and no play.Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying.To be a good student is easier said than done, for it needs a student’s consistent efforts.But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it.Natural Resources Nature has provided us with many kinds of resources.Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from Nature.The food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the concrete and bricks to build our houses, the materials to make bikes we ride, etc.all come originally from Nature.People have been making use of these natural supplies for thousands of years.With the development of technology and the increase of the population, the amount and range of materials taken has increased.It is estimated that this tread will continue in the years to come.However, natural resources are not in exhaustible.Some resources are already nearly used up.For example, the end of the world’s fuel is already within sight.Such an essential daily item as water is in short supply in many parts of the world.We can no longer thoughtlessly use the many resources provided by Nature.We must learn to conserve what remains.We Have Only One World When industries grow, pollution also grows.Today the problem of environment has become more and more important.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.If we don’t take action immediately, then we will destroy our only world.Man has made great progress in environment protection.Government of many countries has established laws to protect the forest and sea resource and to stop the environmental pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve the problem.First, we should start by educating the public about the hazards of pollution.The government on its part should also design stricter laws.This is not only for our own generation but also for the future generation to come.It is necessary to protect our nature environment.We must begin now to protect our only world.Make The Best Use of Our Land It is the land that has been providing us with everything we need for centuries.In other words, almost everything we use daily comes from the land directly or indirectly.The food, clothes, houses, even the books and furniture are all supplied by the land.But the limited land is decreasing at a surprising speed.With the expanding of the cities, the development of the industry and over population, lots of large pieces of good farmland are being turned into residential areas with many houses and apartment buildings, or industrial areas, or warehouses.Therefore some measures must be taken to stop the abusing of our farmland.On the other hand, we should let everyone realize the danger of being short of land.And also we should educate them how to make better use of our land.Health It is said that we do not properly value a thing until we have lost it.It is only when a friend dies that we find out how much he was to us.So it is with health.When we are young and strong and have good health, we think little about it.It seems natural to us to be always well, and we cannot imagine what it is like to be ill.Wo we are often careless about our health, and without thinking we spoil our health by bad habits and doing silly things.It is only when we have our good health that we find that it was one of God’s best gifts to us.Health is our most important possession.We should do our best to maintain it.Good health is necessary to happiness and success.People who are in poor health are often pessimistic or depressed.As a rule, bad health means misery and failure.How can we keep our health? Only by knowing and carefully obeying the laws of health.A happy man is a healthy man, and only the healthy man can live a happy life.The desire for good health is universal.Everyone who loves life understands how important health is.First, good health is the guarantee for enjoying life.The only desire of a patient is always to live an ordinary and healthy life.Second, good health establishes a firm foundation for your ambition of the career.Without it, any lofty aspiration turns to be a daydream.Then how to keep fit? Everyone has his own answers to this question, while I think three principal suggestions should be followed.The first one is that a scientific diet should be adopted, which offers the necessities for your body.The second one is that physical exercises must be persisted, especially for the indoor people.The last, but not the least, is that the cheerful mood should be kept.In order to keep fit, I force myself to keep away from the “junk food”, although it usually tastes good, I even form a good habit of doing morning exercises.And the beautiful music and good books always cheer me up.Sports and Games Sports and games do a lot of good to our health.They can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep healthy and fit.Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.What’s more, they make our life richer and more colourful.If we do not have a strong body, we will find it hard to do whatever we want.So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports-track and fields, swimming, skating, football, volleyball and basketball, etc.Sports and games are also very useful in character training.They demand not only physical skills and strength but also courage, endurance, discipline and usually teamwork.For boys and girls, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character.If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.A healthy citizen makes a strong country.Let’s all take part in sports and games.Smoking It is well known that smoking does harm to the health.Today, so many people still keep smoking, which has drawn wide attention of the society.Smoking has so many disadvantages but no advantages at all.First, the cigarettes with nicotine in them do great harm to the health.Such diseases as pneumonia, lung cancer may be caused or partly caused by them.Furthermore, the bad effects of cigarettes cost the smokers lots of money, which could be spent on other meaningful things.Thirdly, the accidents of fire all over the world every year are mostly caused by the still-burning butts(end).The government has formulated the regulation of no smoking in public places.Yet its result is not so satisfactory.From my point of view, it needs the common efforts of the society.Not only the nonsmokers but the smokers should cooperate on this matter.My Views on Large Modern Cities Since every coin has two sides, living in large modern cities offers us many advantages, simultaneously causes many troubles.Better education and better jobs are easy to get, and better medical care is convenient to receive in large modern cities.People are usually well informed due to the advanced media, such as television, newspaper and net PC.Large modern cities also provide varied entertainment for the city-dwellers.The public places like cinema, bar, disco-ball are everywhere.On the other hand, large modern cities are too big to control, so the traffic jams and traffic accidents often happen, and the social security is a headache problem.And city-dwellers have to face the housing problem.Usually a house is too expensive for the salary earning class to buy and the rent is also high.Moreover, noise and pollution in large cities bring harm to people’s health.Live in the City or in the Country Where do you like to live, in the city or in the country?Most cities are centers of economy, trade, transportation or culture.With the development of economy and society, more and more people have flooded into the cities, which makes the scale of the cities larger and larger.Surely, it is very convenient for shopping, education, business and so on.But it also has many disadvantages: the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city;the big factories, too many cars, buses and trucks pollute the clean air;too much noise can make people mad.To live in the city, one even can’t get enough room for living.To live in the country is another thing.You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully, own a spacious house with a big backyard, and relax yourself in quietness.But when you want to go shopping, or take your child to school, perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation, its remoteness?I am an ordinary person.I am always longing for the peaceful idyll（田園詩般的）life of the countryside.

篇一：英語經(jīng)典美文誦讀

Once upon a time, a child was ready to be born.So he asked God, “How am I going to live there? I am so small and helpless.”

God answered, “Among many angels, I chose one for you.She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”

The child asked, “Here I am in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile.That's enough for me to be happy.”

God answered, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.You will feel your angel's love and be happy.”

The child asked, “How will I learn? I don't know the language that human beings speak.”

God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will ever hear.With much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to live.”

The child asked, “What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”

God smiled, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”

The child asked, “Who will protect me?”

God said, “Your angel will protect you even if it means risking her own life.”

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly, “Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.”

“Your angel's name is of no importance.You will simply call your angel 'Mom'.”

What I have Lived for 我為何而生

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy.I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge.I have wished to understand the hearts of men.I have wished to know why the stars shine.And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux.A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens.But always it brought me back to earth.Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart.Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life.I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.Clear Your Mental Space 保持心靈的整潔

Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration.What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop.Yes, that’s right, stop.Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute.While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.Allow that emotion to consume you.Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion.Don’t cheat yourself here.Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”

Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK.Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day.If not, take a deep breath.As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.This exercise seems simple---almost too simple.But, it is very effective.By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it.You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs.When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control.You can clear your head and proceed with your task.Try it.Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens.Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:

Stop.Immerse for one minute.Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep, exhale, release.Move on!

This will remind you of the steps to the process.Remember;take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion.Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it.You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!

母親永遠成不了父親

A Unique Job

A father's job is unique.If parents had job descriptions mine would read: organize bills, playmates, laundry, meals, laundry, carpool1, laundry, snacks, outings and shopping, and laundry.The only thing on my husband's description would be the word “fun” written in big red letters along the top.Although he is a selfless caregiver and provider, our children think of him more as a combination of a jungle gym2 and bozo3 and clown.Our parenting styles compliment each other.His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to worry about washing their hands, eating vegetables, or getting cavities4.My style is similar to Mussolini5.I'm too busy worrying to be fun.Besides, every time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.I bought my children bubble gum flavored toothpaste and I taught them how to brush their teeth in tiny circles so they wouldn't get cavities.They thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse6 by spitting out water between their two front teeth like a fountain.I took the children on a walk in the woods and, after two hours, I managed to corral7 a slow ladybug8 into my son's insect cage.I was “cool” until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a beetle the size of a Chihuahua9.I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I can't do.I can make sure my children are safe, warm, and dry.I'll stand in line for five hours so the children can see Santa at the mall ?? or be first in line to see the latest Disney movie.But I can't wire the VCR1 so my children can watch their favorite video.I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired, tuck them into bed, and kiss them goodnight.But I can't flip them upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths flying inside of the light fixture2.I can take them to doctor appointments, scout meetings, or field trips to the aquarium3, but I'll never go into the wilderness, skewer4 a worm on a hook, reel in5 a fish, and cook it over an open flame on a piece of tin foil6.I'll even sit in the first row of every Little League game and cheer until my throat is sore and my tonsils7 are raw8, but I'll never teach my son how to hit a home run9 or slide into first base10.As a mother I can do a lot of things for my children, but no matter how hard I try ?? I can never be their father.母親永遠成不了父親 A Unique Job

當爸是件無人能替代的活兒。

如果為人父母有職務(wù)簡述的話，我的“職務(wù)簡述”將會包括如下內(nèi)容：管理賬單和孩子們的玩耍同伴、洗衣、做飯、洗衣、安排與人合伙用車、洗衣、準備小吃、安排短途旅游、購物、洗衣。

我先生的“職務(wù)簡述”是在上端用紅色寫出的兩個大字——“樂子”。盡管他無私地給予孩子們百般關(guān)愛，盡其所能為他們提供所需，我們的`孩子們更多的時候還是把他看作攀緣游戲架、大傻瓜和小丑的三合一。

我們倆為人父母的風(fēng)格是互補的。他的風(fēng)格是持續(xù)不斷的探險，在這過程中，沒有人需要操心孩子是不是洗手了，是不是吃蔬菜了，或者會不會長蛀牙。我的風(fēng)格則類似墨索里尼的執(zhí)政風(fēng)格。我太忙了，為這操心，為那操心，哪里顧得上找什么樂子。再者，每次我試圖逗孩子們開心，我總是被我先生比下去。

我給孩子們買來帶泡泡糖香味的牙膏，教他們?nèi)绾斡醚浪⑥D(zhuǎn)圈兒刷牙以免得蛀牙。他們認為那樣刷挺好玩，直到有一天我先生教他們?nèi)绾问凇獜膬深w門牙間把水噴出來。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這才叫好玩。

我?guī)Ш⒆觽兊叫淞掷锶ド⒉剑瑑蓚€小時后，我好不容易才逮住一個遲鈍的瓢蟲放進我兒子的蟲籠里。在他們眼里我是夠“酷”的，直到他們的父親回家，在后院里只花了兩分鐘，便捕獲了一只有奇瓦瓦小狗那么大的甲蟲!

我勸慰自己我是個好媽媽，盡管我先生能做的事情我做不了。我可以確保我的孩子們是安全的、暖和的、干干爽爽的。我可以排隊等5個小時，讓孩子們在大商場里看到圣誕老人——或者第一個排隊讓孩子們看最新的迪斯尼影片。但是我不會給錄像機接上電線，好讓孩子們看他們喜歡的錄像。

當孩子玩累時，我可以把他們抱到床上，親吻他們，送他們進入夢鄉(xiāng)。但是我無法讓他們頭沖下，那樣他們可以腳踏天花板漫步;或者把他們扛在我的肩膀上，讓他們看飛蛾如何在燈具里飛舞。

我可以帶他們?nèi)タ瘁t(yī)生，參加童子軍集會，或者帶他們?nèi)⒂^水族館，但是我永遠也不會進入荒郊野地，在魚鉤上掛上蟲餌，釣上一條魚，然后把魚用錫紙包起來在明火上烤著吃。

我甚至可以出席每一場少年棒球聯(lián)合會的比賽，坐在第一排吶喊助威，直到我的嗓子喊疼了，我的扁桃體發(fā)炎了，但是我永遠無法教我的兒子如何打一個本壘打或者如何巧妙進入一壘的位置。

作為一個母親，我可以為我的孩子們做許多事情，但是不管我怎樣努力——我永遠成為不了他們的父親。

篇四：英語經(jīng)典美文誦讀

For Love of Children 給孩子的愛

This slender volume opens with the story of Beniah, an infant rescued by sanitation workers from the stack of garbage in which he had been left to die.Without ever losing sight of Beniah and the too many other deserted children, the author, Sharon Emecz, tells the story of the two homes for abandoned children, Happy Life Kasarani and Happy Life Juja Farm, organized in the area of Nairobi, Kenya.Developed more than a decade ago by two indomitable couples, Sharon and Jim Powell from Delaware in the USA, and Faith and Peter Kamau from Nairobi, the two settings provide the physical and emotional comforts that would otherwise have been denied the 102 abandoned children now living there, as well as having nurtured the many more who have found adoptive homes.More than that even, the two homes have literally saved the lives of all those children.The book provides detail of the structure and functioning of The Happy Life homes allowing for an appreciation of their organization(as well as a pattern for their replication), and provides as well brief portraits of some of the children saved, of those adults who have opted to share a part of their lives with them whether through work or volunteering, and the adoptive parents who have pledged to share their homes and their love with the children who have become their own.Ms.Emecz gives the reader a real sense of the spiritual journey she has undergone in traveling from London to Nairobi, a journey she and her husband, Steve, now make at least annually.

篇五：英語經(jīng)典美文摘抄誦讀

Ease of mind

Life is a personal, non-transferable patent.The process of life is the process of time consuming.In the face of time, the greatest man has no power to reverse;we cannot buy, nor can we sell;we have only choice and use.Therefore, to treasure life is to cherish time and to make the best use of time.Because of the intense emergence of my consciousness, I am spending more and more money on myself.I try to choose an easy way of life, so I encourage and create light poetry.What I call light is not pure game life and enjoyment, but the pursuit of the light and freedom of the mind, and the day of self indulgence.And this feeling will lead to more humane and smart choices.A person living very tired, will make you around people and society also feel very tired.If I can benefit others and groups, it is because I can release this relaxed atmosphere and make others happy with me(no matter how short).The only way to make the whole world a harmonious place is to relax one's life.Evil is no cure for evil.For our descendants of the Loess Plateau, the ancient civilization, a long history has made us bear enough heavy, complex reality and interpersonal relations, so that we experience enough tired.I am willing to light weight, with light to tired.On my own, whether it is in nirvana or misfortune, I can easily find themselves, neither fame nor tired, for the suffering poor environment.To the surrounding community, when I appear in front of them, can bring them the need to relax, and to add or ease the joy and pain in their lives.Of course, this is my one wish on a very narrow world, social and secular caught by me, believe that the pursuit of a relaxed lifestyle, at certain times and in certain aspects, may pay a heavy price.

篇六：英語經(jīng)典美文摘抄誦讀

September, the season of yearning

September, silent arrival, time, hurriedly leave.Inadvertently, 2015 quietly passed most of the year.In my heart, perhaps, leaving just the scenery, perhaps, leaving just time, and left on the sea is a scene of unforgettable memories.Read, always branded in the lonely heart of the night;love, silently buried in the boundless sea of heart.Heart with love, love and heart, already all blend into one harmonious whole;has gradually melted into water, and gathered into the roaring waves of the sea, only for the Pentium bumps in the stream of life, only for bathing.The life wind and rain, but can happily write all about beauty and express the love poem!Let a slumbering heart joyfully, a blossoming bright Sheng to the delicate fragrance of flowers, from now on, the bright blue sky, the beautiful clouds, also completely beautiful period of years like songs.Last night in my dreams, I see you like a charming and holy angel, breathing the fresh air around the sweet smell, soft silk Lvlv of flowers, from the distant horizon as graceful butterfly dance, gently step clouds floated.The sky is deep blue, the stars blinking shiny eyes, shining in the misty night, every grass reflects the green Yingying, each flower Piaosa joy fragrance, for only, can be comfortable leisurely to wander in this piece with heart and love carefully trimmed, only, a quiet autumn time.September is the autumn angels in the autumn season, to become more beautiful, lovingly pathetic.In September, everything is so full of all is a quality suggestive of poetry or painting;so let people linger, misty, and even linger......Buddha said: “in the past five hundred times looking back, only in exchange for this life pass, meet is in the past repair to fate.”.In September, how to meet the poem you, you see the sun, from the picturesque Qiulin, smiled at me, affectionate came......Meet, the most beautiful touch in life, Lin Whei-yin said: “meeting a person, only a short time, fall in love with a person, often will be a lifetime.”.This is not my fault then turned to love forever is not perfect.The doomed fate of karma, we really have no other way.Indeed, we can meet and fall in love in the thousands on thousands of crowd, this is a good thing how not easy!Fell in love with a person, like a glimpse, more like the warm spring wind slowly blowing across the lonely heart, his heart began to love sweet and moist, wanton growth, and spread forever......[英語經(jīng)典美文摘抄誦讀]

篇七：英語經(jīng)典美文摘抄誦讀

Awe

In this world, some people believe that some people do not believe, which is divided into theists and atheists, religious and laity.However, this distinction is not very important.There is also a much more important distinction between them, namely, that some people believe in holiness, and some do not believe that man is distinguished from mean and ignoble.A man may not believe in God, but he cannot believe in holiness.Do you believe God, Allah, Buddha mysterious power or what else in the universe, the special experience of tradition, cultural background and personal often depends on personal membership, even some mysterious experience depends on the individual, which could not be forced.A man without these religious beliefs may still be a kind man.However, if you don't believe there is any sacred value, no restrictions of any kind, do whatever they want, such a person is the same as a beast.Believe in the sacredness of the human mind.In his mind, there are always some things belong to the basic of life, is profane.He was not afraid to be punished, but was unwilling to lose his basic personality.No matter how his life is full of desire, he always understand that once he sweep the floor in front of their own personality, but also lost a man of confidence and dignity, then all desire to meet all failed to save his life.On the contrary, the man who does not revere never reflects himself on his personality.If the “shamed”, then, because it was a kind of wanton shameless cowardly.As long as he was not punished, he dared to trample on anything good, including love, friendship, honor, and no uneasiness at heart.Such people, although there is more love affair, nor the ability to really love a back;to make more friends, also can not appreciate the purity of friendship;get more fame, but also do not know what glory.He who does not believe in holiness will be forsaken by all the sacred things in the world.

Dear World:

親愛的世界：

My son starts school today.我的兒子今天就要開始上學(xué)讀書了。

It's going to be strange and new to him for a while, and I wish you would sort of treat him gently.一時之間，他會感覺陌生而又新鮮。我希望你能待他溫柔一些。

You see, up to now, he's been king of the roost.你明白，到現(xiàn)在為止，他一直是家中的小皇帝。

He's been boss of the backyard.一直是后院的王者。

I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to soothe his feelings.我一直在他身旁，忙著為他治療傷口，哄他開心。

But now--things are going to be different.但是現(xiàn)在--一切都將不同了。

This morning, he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.今天清晨，他就要走下前門的樓梯，沖我揮手，然后開始他的偉大的歷險征程，其間或許有爭斗、不幸以及傷痛。

To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.既然活在這個世上，他就需要信念、愛心和勇氣。

So, World, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.所以，世界啊，我希望你能夠時不時握住他稚嫩的小手，傳授他所應(yīng)當知曉的事情。

Teach him-but gently, if you can.教育他吧--而如果可能的話，溫柔一些。

Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero;that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader;that for every enemy there is a friend.教他知道，每有惡人之地，必有豪杰所在；每有奸詐小人，必有獻身義士；每見一敵人，必有一友在側(cè)。

Teach him the wonders of books.教他感受書本的神奇魅力。

Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill.給他時間靜思大自然中亙古綿傳之奧秘：空中的飛鳥，日光里的蜜蜂，青山上的簇簇繁花。

Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.教他知道，失敗遠比欺騙更為光榮。

Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder, but never to put a price on his heart and soul.教他可以最高價付出自己的精力和智慧，但絕不可出賣良心和靈魂。

Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob...and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.教他置暴徒的喧囂于度外……并在自覺正確之時挺身而戰(zhàn)。

Teach him gently, World, but don't coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.溫柔地教導(dǎo)他吧，世界，但是不要放縱他，因為只有烈火的考驗才能煉出真鋼。

This is a big order, World, but see what you can do.這一要求甚高，世界，但是請盡你所能。

He's such a nice little fellow.他是一個如此可愛的小家伙。

篇九：初一英語經(jīng)典美文誦讀

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”

有這樣一個故事，爸爸因為三歲的女兒浪費了一卷金色的包裝紙而懲罰了她。家里很缺錢，當孩子想要用包裝紙裝飾一個掛在圣誕樹上的盒子時，爸爸生氣了。然而，第二天早上小女孩把盒子作為禮物送給了爸爸，“這是給你的，爸爸。”

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty.He yelled at her, stating, ”Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all.I blew kisses into the box.They're all for you, Daddy.”

女兒的這個行為讓爸爸感到尷尬。但是當他發(fā)現(xiàn)盒子是空的時候，他的怒火再一次燃燒了。他對女兒喊道，“難道你不知道給別人禮物的時候，里面應(yīng)該放有東西嗎？”多女孩抬頭看著父親，眼里含著淚水，“爸爸，盒子不是空的'。我把吻放在了盒子里，都是給你的，爸爸。”

The father was crushed.He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child.It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.爸爸感動極了，他摟住女兒，懇請她的原諒。之后不久，一場事故奪走了小女孩的生命。據(jù)說，父親便將那個小金盒子放在床頭，一直陪伴著他的余生。無論何時他感到氣餒或者遇到難辦的事情，他就會打開禮盒，取出一個假想的吻，記起漂亮女兒給予了自己特殊的愛。

In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses...from our children, family members, friends, and God.There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.從一個非常真實的意義上說，我們每個人都被贈與過一個無形的金色禮盒，那里面裝滿了來自子女，家人，朋友及上帝無條件的愛與吻。人們所能擁有的最珍貴的禮物莫過于此了。

tress is a normal part of life and usually comes from everyday occurrences.Here are some ways you can deal with everyday sources of stress.Eliminate as many sources of stress as you can.For example, if crowds bother you, go to supermarket when you know the lines won’t be too long.Try renting videotapes rather than going to crowded movie theaters.If you are always running late, sit down with a pencil and paper and see how you are actually allotting your time.You may be able to solve your problem(and destress your life a bit)just by being realistic.If you can’t find the time for all the activities that are important to you, maybe you are trying to do too much.Again, make a list of what you do during the day and how much each activity takes.Then cut back.Avoid predictably stressful situations.If a certain sport or game makes you tense(whether it’s tennis or bridge), decline the invitation to play.After all, the point of these activities is to have a good time.If you know you won’t, there’s no reason to play.If you can’t remove the stress,remove yourself.Slip away once in a while for some private time.These quiet moments may give you a fresh perspective on your problems.Competing with others,whether in accomplishments, appearance, or possessions, is an avoidable source of stress.You might know people who do all they can to provoke envy in others.While it may seem easy to say you should be satisfied with what you have, it’s the truth.Stress from this kind of jealousy is self’inflicted.Labor-saving devices, such as cell phones or internet, often encourage us to cram too many activities into each day.Before you buy new equipment, be sure that it will really improve your life.Be aware that taking care of equipment and getting it repaired can be stressful.Try doing only one thing at a time.For example, when you’re riding your exercise bike, you don’t have to listen to the radio or watch television.Remember, sometimes it’s okay to do nothing.If you feel stress(or anything else)is getting the better of you, seek professional help—a doctor or psychologist.Early signs of excess stress are loss of a sense of well-being and reluctance to get up in the morning to face another day.篇二：高中生英語美文

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eyes.I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it.Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard.I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers.I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditches would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I'll stop on my way home and dig them.”

“Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them.My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose.One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone.I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long.You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor.She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked.I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us.I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.篇三：高中生英語美文

It may seem an exaggeration to say that ambition is the drive of society, holding many of its different elements together, but it is not an exaggeration by much.Remove ambition and the essential elements of society seem to fly apart.Ambition is intimately connected with family, for men and women not only work partly for their families;husbands and wives are often ambitious for each other, but harbor some of their most ardent ambitions for their children.Yet to have a family nowadays—with birth control readily available, and inflation a good economic argument against having children—is nearly an expression of ambition in itself.Finally,though ambition was once the domain chiefly of monarchs and aristocrats, it has, in more recent times,increasingly become the domain of the middle classes.Ambition and futurity—a sense of building for tomorrow—are inextricable.Working, saving, planning—these, the daily aspects of ambition —have always been the distinguishing marks of a rising middle class.The attack against ambition is not incidentally an attack on the middle class and what it stands for.Like it or not, the middle class has done much of society’s work in America;and it, the middle class, has from the beginning run on ambition.It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition.It would probably be a kinder world:without demands, without abrasions,without disappointments.People would have time for reflection.Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity.Competition would never enter in.Conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past.The stress of creation would be at an end.Art would no longer be troubling, but purely entertaining in its functions.The family would become superfluous as a social unit, with all its former power for bringing about neurosis drained away.Life span would be expanded, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by overwork.Anxiety would be extinct.Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.Ah, how unbearably boring life would be!

美麗的微笑與愛心

The poor are very wonderful people.One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street.And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three.I take care of this one who looked worse.So I did for her all that my love can do.I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face.She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “thank you” and she died.I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place.And my answer was very simple.I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself.I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love.And she died with a smile on her face.As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[陰溝、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home.“I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything.Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people.And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.窮人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我們外出，從街上帶回了四個人，其中一個生命岌岌可危。于是我告訴修女們說：“你們照料其他三個，這個瀕危的人就由我來照顧了。”就這樣，我為她做了我的愛所能做的一切。我將她放在床上，看到她的臉上綻露出如此美麗的微笑。她握著我的手，只說了句“謝謝您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前審視起自己的良知來。我問自己，如果我是她的話，會說些什么呢？答案很簡單，我會盡量引起旁人對我的關(guān)注，我會說我饑餓難忍，冷得發(fā)抖，奄奄一息，痛苦不堪，諸如此類的話。但是她給我的卻更多更多――她給了我她的感激之情。她死時臉上卻帶著微笑。我們從排水道帶回的那個男子也是如此。當時，他幾乎全身都快被蟲子吃掉了，我們把他帶回了家。“在街上，我一直像個動物一樣地活著，但我將像個天使一樣地死去，有人愛，有人關(guān)心。”真是太好了，我看到了他的偉大之處，他竟能說出那樣的話。他那樣地死去，不責(zé)怪任何人，不詛咒任何人，無欲無求。像天使一樣――這便是我們的人民的偉大之所在。因此我們相信耶穌所說的話――我饑腸轆轆――我衣不蔽體――我無家可歸――我不為人所要，不為人所愛，也不為人所關(guān)心――然而，你卻為我做了這一切。

I believe that we are not real social workers.We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives[修行者、沉思冥想的人] in the heart of the world.For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours...And I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home.And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.我想，我們算不上真正的社會工作者。在人們的眼中，或許我們是在做社會工作，但實際上，我們真的只是世界中心的修行者。因為，一天24小時，我們都在觸摸基督的圣體。我想，在我們的大家庭時，我們不需要槍*和炮彈來破壞和平，或帶來和平――我們只需要團結(jié)起來，彼此相愛，將和平、歡樂以及每一個家庭成員靈魂的活力都帶回世界。這樣，我們就能戰(zhàn)勝世界上現(xiàn)存的一切邪惡。

And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home.Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread.And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor.The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world.To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer.They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share.Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share.Because today there is so much suffering...When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied.I have removed that hunger.But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable…And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.我準備以我所獲得的諾貝爾和平獎獎金為那些無家可歸的人們建立自己的家園。因為我相信，愛源自家庭，如果我們能為窮人建立家園，我想愛便會傳播得更廣。而且，我們將通過這種寬容博大的愛而帶來和平，成為窮人的福音。首先為我們自己家里的窮人，其次為我們國家，為全世界的窮人。為了做到這一點，姐妹們，我們的生活就必須與禱告緊緊相連，必須同基督結(jié)結(jié)一體才能互相體諒，共同分享，因為同基督結(jié)合一體就意味著互相體諒，共同分享。因為，今天的世界上仍有如此多的苦難存在……當我從街上帶回一個饑腸轆轆的人時，給他一盤飯，一片面包，我就能使他心滿意足了，我就能軀除他的饑餓。但是，如果一個人露宿街頭，感到不為人所要，不為人所愛，惶恐不安，被社會拋棄――這樣的貧困讓人心痛，如此令人無法忍受。因此，讓我們總是微笑想見，因為微笑就是愛的開端，一旦我們開始彼此自然地相愛，我們就會想著為對方做點什么了。

超越卓越的你

Consider...YOU.In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you.You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe.Wow!Stop and think about that.You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion...You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!

You're amazing!You're awesome!And by the way, TAG, you're it.As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so.Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art.But you don't become “beautiful” just by virtue of the aging process.Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.That is the Art of Life.You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you.Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.Paint a Masterpiece.God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest.Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.試想一下……你！一個空前絕后的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會有一個跟你一模一樣的人。你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨一無二的。哇！想想吧，你是萬里挑

一、億里挑

一、兆里挑一的。

在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的！！

你是了不起的！你是卓越的！沒錯，就是你。你已經(jīng)是了不起的，是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術(shù)的杰作。但你不會因為年齡的漸長就自然而然地變得“美麗”。

真正的美麗源于生命里的學(xué)習(xí)、成長和熱愛。這就是生命的藝術(shù)。你可以只聽天由命, 慢慢地學(xué)，有時候或許會很痛苦。又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長，故意地揮霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術(shù)家。畫出一幅杰作吧！

上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做決定的還是你自己。

我們這個時代的尷尬

Paradox of Our Times

[1]We have bigger houses and smaller families;more conveniences, but less time;we have more degrees, but less common sense;more knowledge, but less judgement;more experts, but more problems;more medicine, but less wellness.[2] We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.[3] We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.We talk too much, love too little and lie too often.We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;we've added years to life, not life to years.[4] We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.We spend more, but have less;we buy more, but enjoy it less.[5] We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.We've split the atom, but not our prejudice;we write more, but learn less;plan more, but accomplish less.[6] We've learned to rush, but not to wait;we have higher incomes, but lower morals.We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication.We are long on quantity, but short on quality.[7] These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;tall men and short character;steep profits and shallow relationships.More leisure and less fun;more kinds of food, but less nutrition;two incomes, but more divorce;fancier houses, but broken homes.[1]我們居住的房屋越來越寬敞，家庭卻越來越小型化；可以享受的生活便利日益增多，屬于自己的時間卻日趨減少；我們獲得了一張又一張學(xué)位證書，卻愈加頻繁確把握和判斷；專家越來越多，問題卻也日漸增加；藥物越吃越多，健康卻每況愈地陷入對常識的茫然中；我們廣泛地涉獵各類知識，卻越來越缺乏對于外界事物的準下。

[2]我們花錢太瘋，笑容太少，開車太快，發(fā)怒太急，熬夜太晚，起身太累，文章讀得太少，電視看得太勤，禱告做得太少。

[3]我們不斷聚斂物質(zhì)財富，卻逐漸丟失了自我價值。我們的話語太多，真愛太少，謊言泛濫。我們掌握了謀生手段，卻不懂得生活真諦；我們讓年華付諸流水，卻不曾將生命傾注其中。

[4]我們的住房越來越好，脾氣卻越來越糟；我們行駛的道路越來越寬闊，眼光卻越來越狹隘。我們付出很多，可獲得的很少；我們購買了很多，可從中得到的樂趣卻很少。

[5]我們能夠往返于地球與月球之間，卻不樂于穿過馬路向新鄰居問好。我們可以征服外部空間，卻懾于走進內(nèi)心世界。我們可以擊碎原子，卻不能突破思想偏見；我們寫得很多，可學(xué)到的很少；計劃很多，可完成的很少。

[6]我們學(xué)會了追趕時間，卻沒學(xué)會耐心等待；我們擁有的財富越來越多，道德品質(zhì)卻日益淪喪。我們生產(chǎn)更多的電腦用于存儲更多的信息和制造更多的拷貝，而相互間的交流與溝通卻越來越少。我們擁有的是數(shù)量，缺乏的是質(zhì)量。

[7]這是一個快餐食品和消化遲緩相伴的時代；一個體格高大和性格病態(tài)并存的時代；一個追名逐利和人情冷漠相生的時代。我們的休閑多了，樂趣卻少了；食品種類多了，營養(yǎng)卻少了；雙薪家庭增加了，離婚率也激升了；居室的裝修華麗了，家庭卻殘缺破碎了。

說出心里話

Words from the Heart

Most people need to hear those “three little words” I love you.Once in a while, they hear them just in time.I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice1 ward, where I worked as a volunteer.Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney2 to the hospital bed.Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was alert and cheerful.We got her settled in.I finished marking her name on all the hospital supplies she would be using, then asked if she needed anything.“Oh, yes,” she said, “would you please show me how to use the TV? I enjoy the soaps so much and I don't want to get behind on what's happening.” Connie was a romantic.She loved soap operas, romance novels and movies with a good love story.As we became acquainted, she confided how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman.”

“Oh, I know Bill loves me,” she said, “but he has never been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me.” She sighed and looked out the window at the trees in the courtyard.“I'd give anything if he'd say ‘I love you,' but it's just not in his nature.”

Bill visited Connie every day.In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps.Later, when she began sleeping more, he paced up and down the hallway outside her room.Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.He talked about having worked as a carpenter and how he liked to go fishing.He and Connie had no children, but they'd been enjoying retirement by traveling, until Connie got sick.Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying.One day, over coffee in the cafeteria, I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives;how we love to get sentimental1 cards and love letters.“Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked(knowing his answer), and he looked at me as if I was crazy.“I don't have to,” he said.“She knows I do!”

“I'm sure she knows,” I said, reaching over and touching his hands rough, carpenter's hands that were gripping the cup as if it were the only thing he had to hang onto “but she needs to hear it, Bill.She needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years.Please think about it.”

We walked back to Connie's room.Bill disappeared inside, and I left to visit another patient.Later, I saw Bill sitting by the bed.He was holding Connie's hand as she slept.The date was February 12.Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon.There stood Bill, leaning up against the wall in the hallway, staring at the floor.I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 A.M..When Bill saw me, he allowed himself to come into my arms for a long time.His face was wet with tears and he was trembling.Finally, he leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath.“I have to say something,” he said.“I have to say how good I feel about telling her.” He stopped to blow his nose.“I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her...and loved being married to her.You shoulda2 seen her smile!”

I went into the room to say my own good?bye to Connie.There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill.You know, the sentimental kind that says, “To my wonderful wife...I love you.”

大多數(shù)人需要聽到那“三個小字”——我愛你。有時他們就會在最需要的時候聽到。

我在康尼住進收容所病房的那天見到了她。我在那兒當義工。把她從輪床抬上病床時，她的丈夫比爾焦慮不安地站在旁邊。雖然康尼處于和癌癥搏斗的晚期，但她仍然神智清醒，精神愉快。我們把她安頓好。我在醫(yī)院提供給她使用的所有用品上標上她的名字，然后問她是否需要什么。

“啊，是的，”她說，“請告訴我怎么用電視好嗎？我非常喜歡肥皂劇，想隨時跟上進展情況。”康尼是個浪漫的人。她酷愛肥皂劇、浪漫小說和講述美好愛情故事的電影。隨著我們越來越熟，她向我吐露說，跟一個經(jīng)常叫她“傻女人”的男人生活了32年有多么沮喪。

“唉，我知道比爾愛我，”她說道，“可是他從來不說他愛我，也不給我寄賀卡。”她嘆了口氣，朝窗外庭院里的樹望去。“如果他說聲‘我愛你’，我愿意付出一切，可這根本不是他的性格。”

比爾每天都來探望康尼。一開始，康尼看肥皂劇，他就坐在床旁。后來，她睡的時候多了，比爾就在屋外走廊里踱來踱去。不久，康尼不再看電視了，醒的時候也少了，我開始花更多的義工時間和比爾在一起。

他談到他一直是個木工，他多么喜歡釣魚。他和康尼沒有孩子，但他們四處旅游，享受著退休生活，直到康尼得病。對他妻子病危這一事實，比爾無法表達他的感受。

一天，在自助餐廳喝咖啡時，我設(shè)法和比爾談起女人這個話題，談到生活中我們多么需要浪漫，多想收到充滿柔情蜜意的卡片和情書。

“你跟康尼說你愛她嗎？”我明知故問。他瞧著我，就好像我有神經(jīng)病。

“我沒有必要說，”他說道。“她知道我愛她！”

“我肯定她知道，”我說。我伸出手，觸摸著他那雙木工粗糙的手。這雙手緊握著杯子，似乎它是他需要依附的惟一東西——“可是她需要聽到它，比爾。她需要聽到所有這些年來她對你意味什么。請你考慮考慮。”

我們走回康尼的房間。比爾進了屋，我走開去看望另一個病人。后來，我看見比爾坐在床邊。康尼入睡了，他握著她的一只手。那天是2月12日。

兩天后的中午時分，我順著收容所病房過道向前走著。比爾站在那里，靠著墻，凝視著地面。護士長已經(jīng)告訴我，康尼在上午11點故去了。

比爾看見我后，讓我擁抱了他許久。他滿臉淚水，渾身顫抖。最后，他向后靠在墻上，深深地吸了一口氣。

“我有話非說不可，”他說道。“我得說，對她說出來，感覺真是好極了。”他停下來擤鼻子。“你說的話我想了很多；今天早上我對她說我多么愛她……我多么珍惜和她結(jié)為夫妻。你真該看看她的笑容！”

我走進康尼的房間，親自去和她告別。我看見，床頭桌上放著一張比爾給她的大大的情人節(jié)賀卡——就是那種充滿柔情蜜意的賀卡，上面寫著：“給我出色的妻子……我愛你。”

母親永遠成不了父親

A Unique Job

A father's job is unique.If parents had job descriptions mine would read: organize bills, playmates, laundry, meals, laundry, carpool, laundry, snacks, outings and shopping, and laundry.The only thing on my husband's description would be the word “fun” written in big red letters along the top.Although he is a selfless caregiver and provider, our children think of him more as a combination of a jungle gym and bozo and clown.Our parenting styles compliment each other.His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to worry about washing their hands, eating vegetables, or getting cavities.My style is similar to Mussolini.I'm too busy worrying to be fun.Besides, every time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.I bought my children bubble gum flavored toothpaste and I taught them how to brush their teeth in tiny circles so they wouldn't get cavities.They thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse by spitting out water between their two front teeth like a fountain.I took the children on a walk in the woods and, after two hours, I managed to corral a slow ladybug into my son's insect cage.I was “cool” until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a beetle the size of a Chihuahua.I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I can't do.I can make sure my children are safe, warm, and dry.I'll stand in line for five hours so the children can see Santa at the mall or be first in line to see the latest Disney movie.But I can't wire the VCR so my children can watch their favorite video.I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired, tuck them into bed, and kiss them goodnight.But I can't flip them upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths flying inside of the light fixture.I can take them to doctor appointments, scout meetings, or field trips to the aquarium, but I'll never go into the wilderness, skewer a worm on a hook, reel in a fish, and cook it over an open flame on a piece of tin foil.I'll even sit in the first row of every Little League game and cheer until my throat is sore and my tonsils are raw, but I'll never teach my son how to hit a home run or slide into first base.As a mother I can do a lot of things for my children, but no matter how hard I try--I can never be their father.母親永遠成不了父親

當爸是件無人能替代的活兒。

如果為人父母有職務(wù)簡述的話，我的“職務(wù)簡述”將會包括如下內(nèi)容：管理賬單和孩子們的玩耍同伴、洗衣、做飯、洗衣、安排與人合伙用車、洗衣、準備小吃、安排短途旅游、購物、洗衣。

我先生的“職務(wù)簡述”是在上端用紅色寫出的兩個大字——“樂子”。盡管他無私地給予孩子們百般關(guān)愛，盡其所能為他們提供所需，我們的孩子們更多的時候還是把他看作攀緣游戲架、大傻瓜和小丑的三合一。

我們倆為人父母的風(fēng)格是互補的。他的風(fēng)格是持續(xù)不斷的探險，在這過程中，沒有人需要操心孩子是不是洗手了，是不是吃蔬菜了，或者會不會長蛀牙。我的風(fēng)格則類似墨索里尼的執(zhí)政風(fēng)格。我太忙了，為這操心，為那操心，哪里顧得上找什么樂子。再者，每次我試圖逗孩子們開心，我總是被我先生比下去。

我給孩子們買來帶泡泡糖香味的牙膏，教他們?nèi)绾斡醚浪⑥D(zhuǎn)圈兒刷牙以免得蛀牙。他們認為那樣刷挺好玩，直到有一天我先生教他們?nèi)绾问凇獜膬深w門牙間把水噴出來。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這才叫好玩。

我?guī)Ш⒆觽兊叫淞掷锶ド⒉剑瑑蓚€小時后，我好不容易才逮住一個遲鈍的瓢蟲放進我兒子的蟲籠里。在他們眼里我是夠“酷”的，直到他們的父親回家，在后院里只花了兩分鐘，便捕獲了一只有奇瓦瓦小狗那么大的甲蟲！

我勸慰自己我是個好媽媽，盡管我先生能做的事情我做不了。我可以確保我的孩子們是安全的、暖和的、干干爽爽的。我可以排隊等個小時，讓孩子們在大商場里看到圣誕老人——或者第一個排隊讓孩子們看最新的迪斯尼影片。但是我不會給錄像機接上電線，好讓孩子們看他們喜歡的錄像。

當孩子玩累時，我可以把他們抱到床上，親吻他們，送他們進入夢鄉(xiāng)。但是我無法讓他們頭沖下，那樣他們可以腳踏天花板漫步；或者把他們扛在我的肩膀上，讓他們看飛蛾如何在燈具里飛舞。

我可以帶他們?nèi)タ瘁t(yī)生，參加童子軍集會，或者帶他們?nèi)⒂^水族館，但是我永遠也不會進入荒郊野地，在魚鉤上掛上蟲餌，釣上一條魚，然后把魚用錫紙包起來在明火上烤著吃。

我甚至可以出席每一場少年棒球聯(lián)合會的比賽，坐在第一排吶喊助威，直到我的嗓子喊疼了，我的扁桃體發(fā)炎了，但是我永遠無法教我的兒子如何打一個本壘打或者如何巧妙進入一壘的位置。

作為一個母親，我可以為我的孩子們做許多事情，但是不管我怎樣努力——我永遠成為不了他們的父親。

猶太女孩譜寫別樣《神曲》

Book on Divine Comedy does Dante differently

What's a nice Jewish girl from New Jersey whose first language was Yiddish doing writing a book about history's greatest Catholic poet, Dante?

Perhaps trying to convince the world that his epic poem, the Divine Comedy, is not just for Ivy League intellectuals but for the common man and woman on life's journey.Harriet Rubin's “Dante in Love,” published by Simon and Schuster, may not become required reading in the hallowed halls of Oxbridge academia.But that's just fine with her.“This book is aimed at people in hell,” said Rubin.“And how do you get out of hell if there is no exit sign anywhere? The book is aimed at people who are in some kind of quandary.People with passion.”

Quandary? Passion? Dante ate them for breakfast.Banned from returning to his beloved Florence in 1302, Dante roamed from city to city in Italy and France, from noble court to grubby back streets until he died in Ravenna in 1321.Through the exile, the wandering and the angst, he created The Divine Comedy--divided into Hell, Purgatory and Paradise--a poem many consider the greatest ever written.Rubin, the daughter of a window cleaner and housewife from New Jersey, already had experience in writing about an Italian luminary from centuries past.She is author of the highly provocative and acclaimed 1998 book “The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women,” in which she discusses how to become powerful without becoming like a man.Now she is doing Dante differently from many previous works on the poet considered to be the father of the Italian language.It is by no means a “Divine Comedy for Idiots.”

But in its own way it does take Dante off the pedestal of poetic sanctity and explain as simply as possible the immense tapestry of religion, art, architecture, cosmology, theology and history that provided the backdrop for the work.猶太女孩譜寫別樣《神曲》

一個來自新澤西、母語為依地語的猶太女孩創(chuàng)作了一本關(guān)于歷史上最偉大的天主教詩人但丁的書，不覺得她很可愛嗎？

這或許是為了向世人證明，但丁的史詩《神曲》并不僅僅是寫給長青藤聯(lián)盟的學(xué)者看的，同樣也適合跋涉在生命旅程中的普通男女。

哈里特·魯賓的《愛中的但丁》一書由西蒙和舒斯特出版集團發(fā)行，這本書可能并不會成為牛津和劍橋大學(xué)神圣廳堂里的必讀書，但對她來說這樣已經(jīng)很好了。

魯賓說：“這本書的受眾對象是那些在苦難中掙扎的人們。如果在任何地方都找不到出口標志，你怎樣才能脫離困境呢？這本書是專為那些陷入某種困境、卻仍懷有激情的人們而寫的。”

困境？激情？但丁拿它們當家常便飯。

1302年，但丁被禁止回到他深愛的佛羅倫薩，于是他周游意大利和法國，從一個城市游蕩到另一個城市，從高雅的宮廷徘徊到骯臟的后街，直到1321年，他死于拉文納（意大利東北部港市）。

在流放、游蕩和痛苦中，他創(chuàng)作了《神曲》，這部被很多人視為有史以來最偉大的詩篇分為《地獄》、《煉獄》和《天堂》三部。

魯賓，一個新澤西的擦窗工人兼家庭主婦的女兒，在寫作方面已小有經(jīng)驗，她曾寫過一本關(guān)于幾個世紀前的一位意大利大師的書。

1998年，她創(chuàng)作的《女君王論: 女人獲取權(quán)力的戰(zhàn)略、戰(zhàn)術(shù)與武器》一書出版了，這本書非常富有煽動性、贏得了很高的評價。在書中她討論了（女人）怎樣才能變得強大，卻不必像男人一樣。

現(xiàn)在，她正在用一種和以往許多描寫但丁的著作不同的方式來詮釋這位被認為是意大利語言之父的詩人。

這決不是一本“為愚人而作的神曲”。

但是，她獨有的寫作手法確實使但丁的圣潔詩歌不再那么高高在上，她盡可能用最簡單直白的方式來闡釋這部作品深厚的背景，那是宗教、藝術(shù)、建筑、宇宙哲學(xué)、神學(xué)和史學(xué)共同編織出的巨大織錦。
