第二篇：英語名句

You are never too old to try to make your dreams come true.在實現夢想這條道路上，行動永遠不晚。

This could be Mary Moe’s motto--the expression that best captures her spirit.Mary Moe has done a lot during the past 91 years.For much of that time, she wanted to fly, but never had the chance – until now.這就是Mary Moe的座右銘——能夠淋漓盡致的闡釋出她的精神。Mary Moe在過去的91年中付出了很多。在那期間，她無時無刻不想“翱翔藍天”，但從來沒有機會──直到現在。

She recently achieved her life-long dream.最近，她終于實現了一生的夢想。

Mary Moe may look like an average grandmother.But she is not.Mary Moe看起來就是一位普普通通的家庭祖母。實際上她并不普通。

Mary just learned how to fly an airplane, a dream she has had since she was a little girl.Mary剛剛學習了如何開飛機，當她還是個小女孩的時候，這就是她的夢想。

Growing up, she was inspired by two American pilots: Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart.They became her inspiration.Lindbergh made the solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927.Five years later, Earhart became the first woman to make the flight.在Mary的成長道路上，她曾受到過兩位美國飛行員Charles Lindbergh和Amelia Earhart鼓舞。他們成為了Mary的目標和動力。在1927年，Lindbergh獨自一個直飛橫跨大西洋。五年后，Earhart成為了第一個飛行的女性。

But Mary Moe could not find time to make her dream come true.At age 34, she was just too busy – busy fighting cancer.She was also busy with her job in advertising and busy raising her family.但對Mary Moe來說，她卻沒有時間去實現這個夢想。34歲時，Mary Moe正忙著與癌癥作斗爭。忙著廣告業的工作，忙于養家糊口。

There was simply no time to think about flying a plane.And it was difficult for her to drive to the airport.Lessons were costly.Everything seemed to be working against Mary.根本無暇去思考飛上藍天的事情。況且，連讓她開車去機場都是件困難的事情。并且學習飛行的課程花費也很高。一切事情看起來都和她對著干。

“I had actually gone out to that airport in the ’80s to see about flying lessons and it was such a long drive out and expensive and I thought, ‘No, I have to put this on the back burner for a while.’” “實際上，我80多歲的時候曾去了那個機場，去了解了關于該飛行的課程，驅車到那里路途遙遠，而且學費也昂貴。所以我當時想‘不行，我必須得把這個事情放一放。’”

So her dream had to wait.She kept it on the back burner.所以，她的夢想還需要等待。她一直擱置著這個夢想。

Then, at age 91, her wish finally came true.直到她91歲高齡時，這個愿望終于得以實現。

Ms.Moe learned about Wish of a Lifetime.Wish of a Lifetime is a non-profit organization.Its goal is to change the way our society thinks about aging and older adults.當時，Moe女士遇到了Wish of a Lifetime。Wish of a Lifetime是一個非盈利性組織。其目標是要去改變社會上對于年齡和老年人的看法。

Sally Webster works for the group.She told VOA on Skype that Ms.Moe’s wish is one of hundreds they receive each year.Sally Webster在這個團隊里工作。她通過在線溝通軟件告訴VOA新聞他們每年都會收到上百個像Moe女士一樣的夢想。“Based on funding year by year, we are able to grant about 200 to 250 wishes per year.Although 65(years old)is our lower age limit, our average wish recipient’s age is 82.”

“由于每年都會接受資助。所以，我們每年有能力幫助200至250人實現他們的夢想。”盡管我們設置的年齡下限是65歲，但實際上我們幫助的夢想實現者的平均年齡為82歲。

The wishes are as different as American society.這些個人的夢想和美國整體社會的夢想還不盡相同。

“For example, a World War II veteran, he was one of the first troops to land on the beaches of Normandy on the D-Day invasion.And he had not been back since that battle.So we were able to send him back for the 70th anniversary.”

“例如，有一個二戰退伍老兵，他曾是諾曼底戰役中最先登陸諾曼底海灘隊伍中的一員。從那場戰役后，他再也沒有回去過。所以，在紀念諾曼底戰役70周年紀念日，我們把他送了回去。”

Wish of a Lifetime helps older people, senior citizens, enjoy a dream.It also sends the message that it is never too late for a dream.But Ms.Webster says it also wants to send another message to society.Wish of a Lifetime一直在幫助歲數大的人、老年人來實現一個夢想。我們也傳遞這樣一種信念，即在追逐夢想的道路上，一切都不晚。但 Webster女士同時也說道他們也想傳遞給社會另外一種信念。

“You know, our bigger vision as an organization is to really change the way that our society feels and thinks about aging and the elderly.So we really try to look for those stories that are inspiring and can show people that older Americans can achieve things just like younger Americans can.”

“其實，作為一個組織，我們有著更大的愿景，那就是改變社會對于歲數大的人和老年人的看法。所以，我們迫切想找到那些充滿正能量的故事，這些故事能夠傳遞給社會一個信號：年輕人能夠做到的事情，老年人一樣可以做到。”

Susie Danick also believes in this goal.She founded TAD Relocation, a business that helps senior citizens when they move.Ms.Danick gave $5,000 to the Wish of a Lifetime to help seniors realize a dream.Mary Moe was one of them.Susie Danick也對這個愿景堅信不疑。她成立了TAD搬家公司，旨在為遷移的老年人提供幫助。Danick女士為 Wish of a Lifetime組織捐贈了5，000美元，以此來為老年人實現夢想提供自己的微薄之力。Mary Moe是這些老年人其中的一位。She received three flying lessons.And on the big day of her first flight, her family and friends all came out to cheer her on.Also at the airport was Ms.Danick.Mary’s success made everyone around her excited and proud.她接受了三堂飛行課程的培訓。在Mary第一次飛行的當天，她的家人和朋友悉數到場來給她打氣。Danick女士也位列其中。Mary的成功讓她周圍的每一個人無比興奮，并為此感到驕傲。

“She was just exhilarated and so happy.And her family was so excited to be a part of it.Her great-grandchildren were so excited to see their great-grandma up in the plane laughing and smiling.It was just a great event, a great day.”

“Mary非常興奮，高興極了。她的家人以此為榮。她的孫輩兒女看到他們的祖母在飛機上盡情地歡笑著，也感到很激動。這真是一個盛大的節日，偉大的日子。”

Flying teacher David Waksberg flew with Ms.Moe during her second lesson.He says she was very calm.David Waksberg是一名飛行教師，在Mary第二次飛行課上，他和Mary同在一個飛機上。David說Mary很鎮靜。“She was very calm, which is always important when you’re flying.Sometimes people get to be overstressed, which I get.It’s a stressful environment.You need to do a lot of stuff at the same time." “她非常冷靜。尤其是當你飛行的時候這一點總是很重要。大家經常會感到很大的壓力，我也曾有過。因為這是一個充滿了壓力的氛圍。你需要同時處理很多事宜。”

But Mary says she enjoyed every second.但Mary卻說她享受在這里的每一秒鐘。

“It was very satisfying and I thought, ’Oh, to get down on the road and drive a car is just misery.’This is the way everybody should go.So I was really, really happy to be up there.”

“我感到非常滿意，我還想著‘天吶，在路上走和開車是多么悲哀的事情’其實那才是我們應該走的地方。所以，我真的是特別開心能有這樣的經歷。”

The new pilot says it is never too late to spread your wings and try something new.展開你的翅膀，去大膽嘗試。何時都不晚。這位“新”飛行員如是說。

第五篇：英語名句

A Language Teacher's Personal Opinion 一名語言教師的個人看法

【1】Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English.我每天都會在報紙上、公共汽車上看到各種廣告，聲稱輕輕松松就能學好英語。According to these advertisements, with very little effort on the student's part, he will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days.這些廣告稱，學生不必費什么力氣，要說一口流利的英語只需短短3個月，甚至10天就行。

There is often a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage him even more.廣告還常常提到威廉.莎士比亞和查爾斯.狄更斯等英語文學大師的名號來增強吸引力。When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.每當看到諸如此類的廣告時，我真是哭笑不得

If it were as easy to learn English as they say, I would have to look for another job, because very few qualified teachers would be needed.如果學英語真像這些廣告所說的那么輕松，我恐怕得另謀出路了，因為不需要那么多合格的英語教師了。

But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.但是肯定有許多人相信這些可笑的噱頭，不然的話這些廣告也不可能出現。

【2】It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them as quickly and efficiently and cheaply as possible, but it is difficult for anyone to explain in simple language why one method is better than another, and it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation.學生們喜歡實惠的速成學習方法也在情理之中，但要用淺顯易懂的語言去解釋為什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件簡單的事，而且也無需裝模作樣地聲稱有什么人已經找到了一個萬能的適合所有學習環境的教學方法。

Some experts even argue that there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers, because every teacher is an individual with his own personality.一些專家甚至認為，有多少個好老師就有多少種好的教學方法，因為每一個老師都有其自身的特點。No doubt this is true to a certain extant,but it is not very helpful to students.這種說法無疑是有幾分道理的，但對學生來說不是很有幫助。

【3】For a long time people believe that the only way to learn a language was to spend a great deals of time in a country where it was spoken.有很長一段時間，人們認為要學好一門語言，只有去使用那種語言的國家呆上一段時間。

Of course it is clear that students who go to England, America, or Australia to learn English have a great advantage over others, but a large number of students cannot afford to do so.當然去英國、美國或者澳大利亞等國家學英語的學生肯定比那些不能去的學生有很大優勢，但是很多學生支付不起那筆費用。

Some students go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries, but it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language and vice versa, and it is impossible for any translation method to provide students with the natural forms of a language in speech, let alone produce good pronunciation and intonation.有些學生走向另一極端：他們認為可以借助詞典在家自學。如果你認為英語中的每一個詞在另一語言中都有完全對等的詞，或者反之亦然，那就錯了。通過翻譯法來給學生講解口語的自然形式是不可能的，更不要說做到語音、語調地道了。

【4】 A great deal of teaching is still based on behaviourist psychology.現在大量的教學活動還是建立在行為主義心理學的基礎之上。

Behaviourists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making them do exercises where they continually have to change one word in a sentence.行為主義者熱衷于讓學生復述短語，不斷做一些只需更換句中某個詞的練習。

If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful.假如我們是鸚鵡或黑猩猩，那這些方法或許能奏效。

A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods.可惜我們不是鸚鵡或者猩猩，這似乎讓很多理論家引以為憾，否則他們提出的那些方法用起來就會容易多了。

【5】 In my opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it.我個人認為，假如沒有興趣，任何人都不可能學好英語或其他任何語言。Human beings, unlike parrots or chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noise mean and can relate them to their lives.與鸚鵡或黑猩猩不同，人類不會無緣無故地發出噪音，除非他們明白這些聲音是什么意思，并且能將其與自己的生活聯系起來。

It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication.值得牢記的是：語言是一種交際手段。

What people want to say and write in another language is probably very similar to what they want to say and write in their own.人們在母語中怎么說怎么寫，用另一種語言表達時也大同小異。人們所聽所讀的不應該是程式化的東西。What they listen to and read cannot be a formula.It must be real.聽的讀的材料必須真實自然。

【6】 There is another relevant point worth mentioning here.還有一個相關的問題值得一提：

We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate.在交際時我們需要有交談或傾聽的對象。

If what we are learning is strange to us, it will be helpful if there are other students around us who can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life in real language.在學習較生疏的內容時，如果有其他學生和我們一起學習來練習那些陌生的語言形式，并用真實的語言去談論真實的生活，那一定會受益匪淺。
