经典优美英文文章1

Have You Seen the Tree

你见过那棵树吗

My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it."Have you seen the tree?" she asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight.

关于那棵树，最初是我的邻居加根太太告诉我的。“你见过那棵树吗?”她问道，当时我正坐在后院欣赏十月的暮色。

"The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful tree-all kinds of are stopping to look. You ought to see it."

“就是下去拐角处的那棵”她解释说，“漂亮极了—五颜六色的。好多车路过都停下来看，你该去看看。”

I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with petty worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone's house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.

我对她说我会去看的，可转眼就忘记了关于树的事。三天后，我顺着街道慢跑，脑子里充斥着恼人的小事，忽然，一片耀眼的橘红色映入眼帘，有一会儿，我还以为是谁家的房子着火了呢，但我马上想到了那棵树。

As I approached it, I slowed to a walk. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its the messy whirl of an artist's palette, the tree blazed a bright crimson on its lower branches, burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center. and simmered to deep red at its top. Through these fiery colors cascaded thin rivulets of pale-green leaves and blotches of deep-green leaves, as yet untouched by autumn.

我慢慢走近它.就像朝圣者缓缓步向神殿，我发现靠近树梢的地方有几根光秃秃的枝丫，上面黑乎乎的小枝像鹰爪一般伸向天空。枯枝上落下的叶子一片猩红，像地毯似的铺在树干周围。

Edging closer-like a pilgrim approaching a shrine-I noticed several bare branches near the top, their black twigs scratching the air like leaves they had shed lay like a scarlet carpet around the trunk.

当我靠近树时，禁不住放慢了脚步。树的形状并没有什么非凡之处，是一棵中等大小的枫树。但加根太太说得不错，它的色彩确实奇特，像画家调色板中斑斓的颇料，令人眼花缭乱。树底部的枝丫好似一片鲜红的火海，树的中部燃烧着明快的黄色和橘色，顶部的树梢又爆发着深红色。在这火一样的色彩中，流淌着浅绿的叶子汇成的小溪，深绿的叶子斑驳点缀其间，似乎至今末曾受到过秋天的侵袭。

With its varied nations of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light and dark greens, the autumn and winter of the Northern in the blazing yellows and bare branches.

这棵枫树集各种颇色于一体。如果一种颜色就是一个国家，枫树俨然成了一个缤纷的地球，它张开宽大的枝条，历数着四季轮回，容纳着五湖四海。深浅错落的绿叶，昭示着南半球的春夏，耀眼的黄叶和光秃秃的枝丫勾勒出北半球的秋冬。整个星球就围绕这一时空的交集点和谐运转。

As I marveled at this all-encompassing beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's comments about the stars. If the constellations appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.

我为这棵树无所不包的美而惊叹不已。这时,我想起了著名作家拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生有关星星的评论。他在《自然》一书中写道：倘若星座一千年才出现一次，那么，星座的出现是一桩多么激动人心的事;可正因为星座每夜都挂在天上，人们才很少去看上一眼。

I felt the same way about the tree. Because its majesty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.

对于眼前这棵树，我也有同感。它此时的华美只能维持一个星期，所以它对于我们就相当珍贵。可我竟差一点错过了。

Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetts, he tolled a church bell to alert townspeople. That's what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a Paul Revere of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder.

有一次，当埃米莉·迪金森的父亲偶然看见马萨诸塞州上空一道炫目的北极光时，他立刻跑到教堂鸣钟告知所有市民。现在，我也产生了同样的想法，我要向世人宣扬这棵树。我愿成为秋天的信使。让田园乡村每一个角落的人们都了解它的神奇。

I didn't have a church bell or a horse, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but momentous question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: "Have you seen the tree?"

可我没有教堂的大钟，也没有快马，但当我走在回家的路上，我会问遇见的每一位邻居加根太太曾问过我的那个极其简单又极其重要的问题:“你见过那棵树吗?”

这些就是2016年我想去爱的方式。我想在认识你之前先懂得爱，我想感受到爱情的本质并懂得它的悲哀。我想如此去爱，这样我就会有足够的爱来传递给你，我会耐心地等待着那一天的到来，在那天我将把所有爱都传递给你。

英文经典文章摘抄1

The Faculty of Delight

喜悦的能力

Among the mind's powers is one that comes of itself to many children and artists. It need not be lost, to the end of his days, by any one who has ever had it. This is the power of taking delight in a thing, or rather in anything, everything, not as a means to some other end, but just because it is what it is, as the lover dotes on whatever may be the traits of the beloved object. A child in the full health of his mind wifi put his hand flat on the summer turf, feel it, and give a little shiver of private glee at the elastic firmness of the globe. He is not thinking how well it will do for some game or to feed sheep upon. That would be the way of the wooer whose mind runs on his mistress's money. The child's is sheer affection, the true ecstatic sense of the thing's inherent characteristics. No matter what the things may be, no matter what they are good or no good for, there they are, each with a thrilling unique look and feel of its own, like a face; the iron astringently coop under its paint, the painted wood familiarly warmer, the clod crumbling enchantingly down in the hands, with its little dry smell of the sun and of hot nettles ; each common thing a personality marked by delicious differences.

在心智的各种能力中，有一种能力对于许多 儿童 和艺术家来说是与生倶来的，而且一旦获得它，就终身不会失去。这种能力就是对一件事物、甚至对每件事物都感到喜悦的能力。之所以感到喜悦，并不是因为那件事物是达到其他目的的手段，只是因为这件事情本身，正如一个情人觉得他所喜爱的对象是十全十美一样。一个心智健康的儿童也许会把他的手放在夏天的草地上，抚摸着它，他觉得坚实的大地也有点弹性，因而打心眼里感到欣喜。他并不会考虑这草地对于人们玩游戏或用来放羊会有多大好处。如果这样的话，那就是一心贪图钱财的追求者的恶劣行径了。但这孩子内心的喜悦却是至真至纯的，是对这件事物的内在特性感到真正的心醉神迷。不管这些事物是什么，也不管它们对什么有用或者没用，它们自然地存在着，有着自己动人的外观与感觉，就像一张面孔那样;油漆下面冰凉的钢铁，温暖可亲的彩色木料，拿在手中一揉就碎的令人着迷的土块，微微含着日晒与荨麻的干燥气味;各种普通的事物都有着可爱的差别，因而都突显了其独特的性格。

The joy of an Adam new to the garden and just looking round is brought by the normal child to the things that he does as well as those that he sees. To be suffered to do some plain work with the real spade used by mankind can give him a mystical exaltation : to come home with his legs, as the French say, reentering his body from the fatigue of helping the gardener to weed beds sends him to sleep in the glow of a beatitude that is an end in itself…

初到伊甸园的亚当左右张望，充满喜悦，这正是一个正常的儿童在做什么或看什么时所感到的欣喜之情。如果让他拿起人们使用的真正的铲子去做点普通的劳动，那他肯定会感到一种神秘的喜悦。当他经过一番辛劳，帮助园丁把花园里的杂草除掉，两只脚像缩进身体里似的走了回来(像法国人说的那样)，他会在一片纯粹的喜悦之光的照耀下安然睡去……

英文经典文章摘抄2

Serenity

平静

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in selfcontrol, Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

心灵的平静是智慧的宝藏，它来自于长期、耐心的自我控制。内心的安宁是经历成熟的表现，也是对思想活动规律的更深入的了解。

A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.

一个人能否心境平和，取决于他对自己的了解程度，因为如果他想了解别人，就必须先了解自己;当他对人对己有了更深入的了解，并越来越清晰地洞察到事物内部息息相关的因果关系时，他就不会再惊讶、愤怒、焦虑或忧愁，而是以从容、镇定、平和的态度去对待一切。

The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater selfcontrol and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable.

镇静的人知道怎样控制自己，也知道如何去适应与他人相处;反之，别人也会对他的人格魅力表示尊重，并会以他为榜样，认为他是个可靠的人。一个人越是处变不惊，他的成就、影响力和号召力就越大。即使是一个普通商人，如果他遇事能够很好地自我控制并镇定自若，那么他会发现自己的生意蒸蒸日上;因为人们总是更愿意与一个举止从容、沉着冷静的人打交道。

The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shadegiving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweettempered, balanced life?" It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life, a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!

坚强、冷静的人总是会赢得人们的好感和敬意;他就像烈日下一棵浓荫遮地的大树，或是暴风雨中能够遮风挡雨的巨岩。“谁不爱一颗安静的心，一个温和、平实的生命呢?”无论是狂风暴雨，还是红曰当空，无论是天翻地覆，还是命运逆转，一切都等闲视之，因为这样的人永远都是谦和、冷静、沉着。那种我们称之为泰然自若的平静性格，是修养的最后一课，也是灵魂之花的硕果。它像智慧一样宝贵，价值胜过黄金一是的，胜过足赤真金。与宁静的生活相比，追逐名利的行为多么不值一提，那是一种在真理的海洋中的生活，在惊涛骇浪之下，远离暴风雨的侵扰，永远存在于宁静之中。

"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of selfcontrol. How few people we meet in life who are well balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!"

“我们认识的许多人都把自己的生活搞得一片狼藉，他们的怒火破坏了所有美好的事物，同时也摧毁了自己安静的生活，并遗祸后代!现在的问题是，大多数人是否因为缺乏自我控制能力而破坏了自己的生活，损毁了原有的幸福呢?在生活中，我们很少遇到能够做到沉着冷静、拥有成熟的性格所特有的那种平静的人。”

Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.

是的，人性因为无法控制的激情而躁动不安，因为放任无度的悲伤而起伏波动，因为焦虑和猜疑而备受打击。只有睿智的人，只有控制并净化了思想的人，才能在心灵的世界里呼风唤雨。

Tempesttossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this in the o cean of life the isles of blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding master; he does but sleep; wake him. Selfcontrol is strength; right thought is mastery; calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"

经历过暴风雨洗礼的人们，无论你们身在何方，无论你们处境如何，你们都要知道，在生活的海洋中，幸福的岛屿在对你微笑;照耀你理想的阳光就在前方。要牢牢握住思想之舵。在你的灵魂深处，有一个指引你方向的主宰者，他可能还在沉睡，唤醒他吧。自我控制是力量，正确的思想是优势，沉着冷静是能量。要时常对你的心灵说：“平和，安静!”

读者中精选经典短文章

1、古代妈妈的一封信

杨暖

《读者》2012年第9期（五月上）总第518期

古人写信很有意思。这是古代妈妈写的一封信，母亲写给儿子的。也算不得信，了了几十字，只当是一简短的手函。简短，字微，充分发挥了中国汉字的蕴藉和古典，有妙趣。

阅儿信，谓一身备有三穷：用世颇殷，乃穷于遇；待人颇恕，乃穷于交；反身颇严，乃穷于行。昔司马子长云：然虞卿非愁，亦不能著书以自见于后世云。是穷亦未尝无益于人，吾儿当以是自勉也！写信的母亲叫郑淑云，是明代女作家。

我没有读过她的作品，单从这一短笺，倒也叫我生出三分钦佩。信里，郑妈妈是这样讲的：人的这一生时常会遭遇三种困顿，千古有之，孩子，你要做好心理准备。第一种困顿，拥有卓越的才华，却遇不到好的平台和机遇。

第二种困顿，以一颗诚挚宽厚的心待人，却没有交上值得交的好朋友。第三种困顿，对自己严格要求，时常反省，却无法按照自己的意愿生活。最后，这位妈妈抚慰儿子，即使人生的际遇如此，也未尝没有好处。

孩子你要多读书以自励，不要放纵自己呀！这样的妈妈，真强大。她的爱，不狭隘，不灰暗，是一个经历风雨历练的女人在看过人生百态后，饱含仁慈宽厚的生命之爱。她爱孩子，爱生命，更能用她的爱，给孩子一个有力的人生。（睿雪摘自《润》2012年第1期）

2、节令是一种命令

毕淑敏

2013年14期（七月下） 总第547期

夏初，买菜。老人对我说，买我的吧。看他的菜摊，好似堆积着银粉色的乒乓球。我说，这么小啊，还青，远没有冬天时我吃的西红柿好。老人不悦地说，冬天的西红柿算什么西红柿！吃它们哪里是吃菜，分明是吃药。

老人接着说，那是温室里煨出来的，先用炉火烤，再用药熏，让它们变得不合规矩的胖大，用保青剂或保红剂，让它们比划的还好看。人里面有汉奸，西红柿里头也有奸细呢。冬天的西红柿就是这种假货。我惭愧了。多年以来，被蔬菜中的所蒙蔽。

那吃什么菜好呢？我虚心讨教。老人的生意很清淡，乐得教我，说道：记着，永远吃正当节令的菜。萝卜下来就吃萝卜，白菜下来就吃白菜。节令节令，节气就是令啊！人不能贪心，你用了种种的计策，在冬天里，抢先吃了只有夏天才长的菜，夏天到了，怎么办呢？再吃冬天的菜吗？颠了个儿，你费尽心机，不是整个瞎忙活吗？

我买了老人的西红柿，慢慢地向家中走。他的西红柿虽是露地长的，质量还有推敲的必要，但他的话透着一种晚风的霜凉，久久伴着我。人生也是有节气的啊！春天就做春天的事情，去播种；秋天就做秋天的事情，去收获。夏天游水，冬天堆雪。少年需率真。

过于老成，好比使用了植物催熟剂，早早定了型，抢先上市，或许能卖个好价钱，但植株不会高大，叶片不会密匝，从根本上说，该归入早夭的一列。老年太轻狂，好似理智的幼稚症，让人疑心脑海的某一部分让岁月的虫蛀了，连缀不起精彩的长卷，包裹不住漫长的人生。

年轻年老都是生命的流程，不必厚此薄彼，显出对某道工序的青睐或是鄙弃，那是对造物的大不敬，是一种浅薄而愚蠢的势利。（李孝春摘自《广州日报》2013年5月1日）

3、人间无事人

马德

《读者》2014年第13期（七月上）总第570期

逢人不说人间事，便是人间无事人。一个人活得是否洒脱，就在这说与不说上。人间多少事，都是管不住嘴惹的。你在背后说人是非，自有人在背后说你是非。读《小窗幽记》，说有个叫湄公的隐士，居于山中，有客问他，山中何景最奇，曰：“雨后露前，花朝雪夜。”

又问何事最奇，曰：“钓因鹤守，果遣猿收。”你钓，有鹤相守于一边；你馋，可遣猿于树上摘鲜果与你吃。这真是动人心魄的胜景。崔永元说，他多年来一直喜欢看的节目，就是《动物世界》，因为“动物的世界里没有人。”

看来，没有人折腾的世界，其妙处，何止是清净所能穷尽的。这世间美景美事，为什么隐者所遇甚多呢？不因他在山中，不因他在林中，在哪里不重要，重要的是，他已活到人间无事人的份儿上了。（潘光贤摘自《今晚报》2014年4月16日）

4、别人的鞋子

尤金

《读者》2015年第8期（四月下）总第589期

开学那天，在一群报到的新生当中，我注意到一名女学生眼皮异常浮肿，肿胀处红红的，好似戴了一个怪异的眼罩。我趋前，关心地探问，万万没想到她竟一脸不耐烦，粗声粗气地答道：“过敏啦！”说完，掉头便走。对于她这种毫无礼貌的反应，我与其说生气，不如说纳闷儿。

不久后，她在呈交上来的日记里吐露心声：“由于对某种迄今还查不出来食物过敏，我两边的眼皮肿得好像塞进了两个彩色气球。已经两年多了，医生束手无策，我难过死了。偏偏许多好事之徒一看到我便问东问西，把我看成一个怪胎。有时，我真难堪得想扯对方的头发！”

看到这样的文字，我摇头叹息，这个女孩子，也太不懂事了，怎么竟会将别人的关心看作“好管闲事”呢？我觉得她不但眼皮敏感，连心也敏感。这事发生了好几个月后，我在烹饪时，不慎烫伤了手臂，留下了一个颇大的疤痕，椭圆形，棕红色，狰狞而又可厌。

旧友新交，无不殷殷探询。开始时，我总是耐心地解释、解释、再解释，然而渐渐地不行了，同样的话讲了又讲、说了又说，一日数回，着实厌得嘴巴抽筋。后来，有人关心探问时，我便笑眯眯地说：“我昨天去献血啦！”对方骇然惊问：“怎么会在手臂这个部位抽血呢？”

我又微笑应道：“这就叫做不同凡响嘛！”看对方疑惑的表情反而成了我的乐趣。想起那名女学生，我对她两年来所受的委屈感同身受。总得穿穿别人的鞋子，才知道那鞋子打不打脚呀！（李中一摘自花城出版社《尤今袖珍小品》一书）

5、清秋瘦水

周伟

《读者》2016年第2期（一月下）总第607期

秋天的水，说瘦就瘦了，河中的丝草浮现出来了，墨绿墨绿的一片，丝丝连连，纤毫毕现。我仿佛看到了童年井水中的景象，那般清澈，那般透亮。瘦水边，人感觉也瘦了。远处有两个黑点，慢慢地出现在我的眼前：一个是斯文的父亲，一个是天真的孩子。

父亲张网，一张网，仿佛想网住一个世界。他越是弓身用力，撒出去的网越是到不了他想要达到的位置，网不住他想网的东西，好几次，网都被丝草缠住了。孩子提桶，跟在父亲后面。他看到瘦水中那些游来游去的鱼儿，在水中旋转着，一下又蹿出水面，白白的鱼肚皮在阳光下发亮。

就在父亲感到失望并打算离开的时刻，孩子扯了扯父亲的衣角，努了努小嘴儿：河堤边的丝草旁，有一条金黄色的大鲤鱼在那儿游来游去，闲适自得。

于是父亲张网，张了几次，总不成功。孩子把桶放下，做了一个双手捧鱼的动作。父亲领会，走上前去，捧住了那条金黄色的鲤鱼。孩子接过父亲手中的鱼儿，用双手稳稳地捧住。鱼儿一动不动，只有鱼鳞在阳光下一闪一闪泛着金光。

看着瘦水里的游鱼、瘦水边的父子，我明白了：世上有许多东西，网是网不住的，把它捧起来，或许更好。（金星摘自《人民日报》2015年10月26日）

《读者》是1981年甘肃人民出版社出版的杂志。《读者》杂志发掘人性中的真、善、美，体现人文关怀。下面就是我整理的读者中的励志好文章，一起来看一下吧。

我们会去看一部电影，无非是想从电影里看到我们自己。比如《星空》，比如《失恋33天》，比如《那些年，我们一起追过的女孩》，只是毫无例外地我们无法跟着电影里的人物一起长大，你不是十三岁，你也不是十七岁，你失恋早就过了三十三天，你的身边也没能有个王小贱。回忆没有变，离开的是我们自己。

前两天看邮件还有人对我说，好像身边能说话的人越来越少了。我想了想似乎真是这样，这个世界上有太多的事情是我们无法掌握的，你不知道谁明天会离开，你不知道意外和你等的人谁先到。有些人你哪怕抓的再紧，即使你心里完全不想放弃她，可是偏偏你们的距离越拉越远，交集越来越少，最后变成了回忆角落里的一张旧照片。

可最可怕的是因为怕失去而放弃拥有的权利。我们都会遇到很多人，会告别很多人，会继续往前走，也许还会爱上那么几个人，弄丢那么几个人。关键在于，谁愿意为你停下脚步?对于生命中每一个这样的人，一千一万个感激。

被忽略被遗忘，死党变得疏远直至陌生，那都是没办法的，我能把握的只有我自己。我们总不能老指望失恋的时候身边有个王小贱，胃痛的时候家就在身边，生活如此的不靠谱，我们只有把自己变靠谱。

其实感情和梦想都是特冷暖自知的事儿，你想要跟别人描述吧，还真不一定能描述的好，说不定你的一番苦闷在别人眼里显得莫名其妙。喜欢人家的是你又不是别人，别人再怎么出谋划策，最后决策的不还是你;你的梦想是你自己的又不是别人的，可能在你眼里看来意义重大，在他们眼里无聊的根本不值一提。

大人的世界总是连说明书都厚厚一本，你会发现越来越多的事情都一样会有个原因，踢球就一定要进球，就连旅行都一定要发现自我。有些事情你很努力很努力做了也做不好，他们没有看到你的努力只看到了结果。梦想这东西越发像断线了的气球，已经不知道飞到哪里去了。

有的时候就在想啊，我们苦逼来苦逼去，到底是为了什么，或者是为了那些我们不能放弃的，我们都放弃了一些什么。为什么要在图书馆里背单词，为什么要在一个没有归属感的地方生活，为什么要离开家离开亲人。

好像渐渐地找不到原因了。

可是有些事情偏偏是不需要原因的，比如天空的颜色，比如连你自己都不知道为什么会喜欢上的那个人，比如昨天擦肩而过的人变成了你今天的知己。梦想这东西，最美妙的在于你可以制造它，重温它，看一本书，听一首歌，去一个地方，梦想就能重新发芽，那个在你体内扎根的与生俱来的梦想。

你说你为什么会喜欢那个人，谁知道，喜欢上就是喜欢上了。你说有的时候觉得生活很不靠谱吧，却又能咬着牙走很远很远。有的时候觉得离开那个人就要过不下去了，可是却还是过来了，或者说沉淀了，原来爱情没想象中的那么重要。你不再成天把爱情挂在嘴上，你不再觉得寂寞那么可怕了，没错你现在是一个人，可是谁说这样的你不强大而又潇洒呢?

我常常鼓励大家要去实现梦想，是因为我们唯一能把握的事情是成为最好的自己，我们可以不成功，但是我们不能不成长，没有什么比自己背叛自己更可怕。

你唯一能把握的是变成最好的自己。

也许你最后也没能牵到那个女生的手，但是你付出了就不会有遗憾;也许最后你也只是默默无闻，但你曾经为了将来努力奋斗了一把;也许你最后也没能环游世界，可是你却在实现梦想的途中找到了自己。那是能够为了一个目标默默努力的自己，不去抱怨，不浮躁，不害怕孤单，能很好的处理寂寞，沉默却又努力的你自己。说不定你想要苦苦追寻的梦想，已经握在你手中了。

我们会觉得焦虑，无非是因为现在的我们，跟想象中的自己，很有距离。不喜欢现在的自己，只有拼命地想办法去改变，只有马上行动起来，因为这个事情只有你自己能做，只有你自己能找到出口。不要害怕改变，那些真正爱你的人，会理解你，会包容你的缺点接受你的改变祝福你的将来。而那些说你变了的人，不用理会他们，那只是因为你不再按照他们想要的轨迹生活而已。记住那些一直陪着你懂你沉默的人，忘记那些说你变了远离你的人。

事实上，你不会发现到自己有多强大，直到有一天你发现你身边的支点都倒下了，你也没有倒下。没有人能打倒你，除了你自己，你要学会捂上自己的耳朵，不去听那些熙熙攘攘的声音。这个世界上没有不苦逼的人，真正能治愈自己的，只有你自己。

记住什么都失去的时候，未来还在，好吗?挫折一再来临的时候，接受它，然后撑过去。谁不难过孤单过呢，谁不失落苦逼过呢，谁年轻的时候没爱错几个人呢，谁没被几个人拉近黑名单过呢?那些伤不是都慢慢的愈合了么，你不是已经撑过来了么。

你已经变成更好的你了，那么继续勇敢地追寻下去，等下去，等待对的人，等待阳光找到你梦想的那天。总有一天我们都老了，不会遗憾就ok了。

总有一天，我们都能强大到什么都无法扰乱我们内心的平和的。

一、尊重自己是何感觉?

前段时间在一个咖啡馆里翻看香港作家毕明的书，他教读者如何品尝美酒。作者除了讲关于酒的许多故事，还给出了很多品酒的建议。其中令我印象特别深刻的一个建议是：当你在餐厅点了酒单上的某一款酒，侍酒师(照顾顾客喝酒的专业人士)给你倒酒，让你试喝的时候，如果你真的觉得这个酒不好喝，千万别客气，一定要提出换酒的要求。

我非常欣赏他的这一建议。明明自己的酒难喝，你有权利去换却不换，因为不好意思，于是勉强自己喝下那不喜欢的酒，餐厅老板或侍酒师不仅不会感激你隐忍懂事，不给别人添麻烦，而会在心里取笑你、瞧不起你。关于你对酒的感觉和喜爱程度，他们从你喝第一口酒时脸上显露的表情就能准确知道了。酒难喝却不要求更换，你忘了自己花钱是大爷这一点，更重要的一点是你不尊重自己，所以他们会在心里瞧不起你，嘲笑你。你因为不喜欢喝那个酒，大大方方，理直气壮地要求换酒，这样的做法，尊重了你自己，也等于尊重了那杯酒，还能得到别人的尊重。换句当下时髦的话讲，爱自己的人，才能更好的爱别人，才能得到别人更好的爱。

我的一位咨客L和我分享了她经历的一件小事。某一天，她坐公交车回家，坐车会晕车的她感到身体很不舒服，塞着耳机，听着音乐，低头闭目坐在位置上。车的中途上来一位母亲，带着一个五六岁的男孩，站在L面前。小孩站了一会和母亲抱怨站累了，母亲回应他：那有什么办法，也没有人给你让座啊!L听了内心纠结，想着要不要让座，但是自己晕车真的很难受，她决定还是让自己坐着不动。没过一会，这位母亲让售票员帮忙找个位置。售票员跟L说，小姑娘你让个座吧。L回答：我晕车很难受，如果我不晕车肯定会让座的。于是售票员让其他乘客给带小孩的妇女让了座。后来，车上又上来一两个老人，售票员也许是担心他们会要求L让座，提前和老人说，那个小姑娘晕车。

L一直是一个过分在意别人看法和感受的人，这么多年来她在人际交往中常常活在讨好别人的疲惫与痛苦之中，为了让自己轻松和快乐一点，她封闭起自己，尽量减少与别人的交往和接触，因为一个人的时候她才能够做真实的自己。这次公交车事件是她第一次懂得和做到尊重自己，爱自己，做真实的自己，不被别人的目光所左右，不因他人的评价而为难自己。L告诉我，她下车之后，内心的情绪非常复杂，有尊重自己，疼惜自己的温暖和感动，也有自己过去这么多年来一直不懂爱自己的心酸和苦涩。L的故事让我感触万千，再次学习了自爱的功课。

有好几位读者曾写信问我，怎样才叫爱自己?爱自己其中有一点非常重要即尊重自己。我们的文化和接受的教育里从来就没有“尊重自己”这一点，更不要说“爱自己”了。何为尊重自己呢?自己尊重自己叫自尊，一个高自尊的人在内心深处认为自己是可爱的，有价值的，是值得被人尊重的，对自己需求的主张、对自己个人幸福的追求是持肯定的态度，他认为自己有资格，值得拥有快乐和幸福。

要做到尊重自己就要求你先得有自己，有自我。中国人是普遍缺失自我概念的族群。我们活着不是为了“是”一个自己，而是为了“做”一个别人认可的“好人”。“是”一个人要求你去面对自己，以自己的本来和真实的面目在世人面前呈现，保持自己独立完整的人格。“做”一个人则是为了别人去“做”一个人别人认可的角色。无论这个角色你自己是否认可，反正你做人先得考虑别人。我们中国人特别喜欢讲“面子”，讲“丢脸”，讲“没有脸面做人”之类的话。父母给孩子的教育也是“乖”“听话”“别给我丢脸” “为我争气，争面子”之类的。我们从小被教育要爱祖国，爱人民，爱父母，却从来没有教育我们要爱自己。现在很多中国年轻人前二三十年接受的教育其实是一个“去自我”的过程，他们从小被教导要听话懂事;无欲无求;助人为乐;吃亏是福;忍一忍风平浪静，退不步海阔天空……然后他们习惯无视自己内心真实和正常的需求，压抑自己真实的情绪和想法，丧失自尊和自我意识。

我们的个人意志受到两股压力的阻碍。首先我们不是我们自己的，而是父母的、领导的，或者其他什么人的。其次，外界或者社会观众对我们自己的看法比自己对自己的看法更为重要。结果就是，我们读什么专业，做什么工作，找一个怎样的恋人我们都要考虑别人的目光，看看自己是否符合世俗意义上的“很有面子”这一潜规则，甚至家里的沙发买什么颜色和样式最先考虑的是客人来了会怎么看，怎么评价，而不是先考虑每天坐在沙发上的自己是什么感受。在中国，大多数人都是在为面子而活，很难有什么“个性解放”，一个人要遵循自己选择的道路发展也十分不容易。所以，大多数人无法忠于自己的内心，活得郁闷迷失，随波逐流。

在我看来，一个中国人前三十年都活在讨好别人，看重别人多于自己的低自尊的纠结与痛苦中，后三十年才开始慢慢学会尊重自己，取悦自己，爱自己。学会尊重自己对很多人来说都是艰难又漫长的旅程，尤其是中国的女性，因为她们还要挣脱“重男轻女”“男尊女卑”这一沉重的枷锁。

二、自爱不是自私

有很多人分不清自爱和自私的区别，认为爱自己是自私的表现。其实自爱和自私是完全不同的，自私向外求，希望从外界获取些什么而使得自己幸福，所以自私之人不停地向外索取;自爱则是向内求，把目光投向自己，主动斟满自己的杯子，自己让自己幸福快乐。自爱之人尊重自己，按照自己的心意而活，倾听自己的心声，不因为他人的目光，挑剔自己，为难自己，委屈自己。自爱之人取悦自己放在取悦他人之前，不为了取悦他人做会使得自己万方痛苦的事情。自爱之人不会不好意思拒绝他人的请求，而做违背自己本心的事情，结果搞得自己痛苦不堪，怨气冲天。面对他人的要求，如果自己做不到也特别不愿意去做时，自爱之人学会适时适当地拒绝。

是自爱，还是自私?还有一个判断标准就是看结果。自爱的人不容易引起他人的愤怒、敌意和反感，而是容易得到他人的理解、尊重和支持。自私的人则正相反。就像本文开头举的那两个例子。你点了酒，因为试喝时，自己感觉不好，要求更换，会得到餐厅老板或侍酒师的理解和尊重。你晕车难受，没法给带小孩的妇女让座，也同样会得到司机、售票员和其他乘客的理解和尊重。因为这是你应享有的权利，这是你的自尊自爱。

我讲一个自己的故事。某一个下午，我和朋友约在上海外滩附近的一家咖啡馆聚会。两人坐定之后，服务员让我们点单。这家店下午茶的套餐是128元一位。我因为刚在家吃过午饭，而且不喜欢他们下午茶中的甜食，所以只想喝一杯咖啡。于是，我问服务生，单点咖啡可不可以?服务员说，可以。然后我就点了一杯40元的咖啡。有趣的是，这位女服务员瞬间给我甩脸色，说一句，那这个餐巾不用了。动作非常粗鲁又迅速地抽走她刚铺在我大腿上的餐巾。面对此种情形，我在心里笑笑，没当一回事，继续和朋友一起聊天、看书、看风景。因为我知道自己不是没钱吃他们的下午茶套餐，而是我不需要，我确信我自己只需要一杯咖啡，我也不会因为你甩我一个脸色我就改变自己的决定。我没想到，接下来发生的'事情是这个服务员对我尊重起来，给我倒热水，递纸巾，服务态度来了一个180度转弯。回家的路上，朋友还特意提起此事，称赞我内心强大。其实我也不是内心强大之人，我只是坚持我自己，尊重我自己，懂得享有和坚持自己合理的权利。不过这是我花了很长时间才做到的事。

在我们的团体活动中，有一位年轻女性成员一直很难去尊重自己的内心感受，不知道如何爱自己，常常有很强烈的不配得感。她和我们分享自己的故事。曾借给男朋友三万多元，男生还了两万。两个人分手后，女生纠结要不要让对方还剩下的一万多元。在这段恋爱关系中，她在物质和精神上都是付出比较多的一方，也受到了很大的情感伤害。她就“要不要前男友还钱” 一事询问自己母亲的看法，她母亲说：“你前面都做了好人，你现在去要钱显得你很小气。”可是，欠债还钱，天经地义，这钱本来就是属于她的呀。我不禁猜想，也许正是因为有这样一位“滥好人”般的母亲，她的女儿才不懂得如何爱自己。

很多人因为分不清楚什么是属于自己的正当权利，又常常囿于所谓的“毫不利己，专门利人”“勇于奉献和牺牲”的道德准则，再加上同样边界不清，分不清“自己的事”“别人的事”的社会观众施予的道德压力，所以，他们在人际关系中缺乏界限，盲目退让，成为不懂拒绝，不懂维护自我利益的滥好人。经年累月之后，就变成一个内心痛苦纠结，充满忿忿不平情绪，委屈满腹的人。

一个不懂得尊重自己的人很难换来别人对他的尊重。一个大一的女生写信给我，诉说自己在寝室的人际关系中遭遇的困扰。她写道：“很多人和我玩得好，是因为我时常在讨好她们，我时常会请他们吃饭，时常给他们带吃的，时常用我的淘宝我的钱帮他们买东西，时常给他们充话费，时常帮他们的忙……他们叫我时总是找我要钱、请客、帮忙，我是不是很悲催呢?”她还说，“就这十天左右时间，我的钱已经被‘朋友们’花完了……以前这种情况经常有，但是我从不主动问他们要钱，因为我实在不知道怎么说，我不好意思张口。都是主动给我，我才收。” 在她的内心深处，她不相信自己这个人本身能够得到别人的喜欢和认同，认为只有通过给别人钱花，帮别人忙的方式才能得到别人的喜欢和认可。结果，别人真的如她所愿，不喜欢她，花她的钱也是理所当然。

女性的自尊不足，在婚恋上常常造成悲剧。低自尊的女性，当遭遇恋爱对象施加的语言和身体虐待时，她会选择忍受，甚至会不自知，即使对方是个人榨，对她很坏，她也很难结束关系，转身离开。她在别人不尊重她的时候能活得自在安然，而一旦遇到一个真心爱她，尊重她的恋爱对象时，她会感到不真实，不安，认为自己不值得，不配，在无意识中做出各种自毁幸福的事。她们不觉得自己这样会讨人喜欢，不觉得别人爱她们是自然或正常的事情。于是逃避或者破坏关系，让自己从这种被爱的不安中离开，重新呆在熟悉的不被爱的痛苦泥沼里。

一个懂得尊重自己，坚持做自己的人容易换来别人同样的尊重，甚至因为这份尊重和坚持带来影响他人的力量。

我家附近有一个老太，头发半白，六七十岁的样子。因为中风的缘故，她的手脚很不利索，走路的姿态是以非常细碎的步子腾挪前进，手脚也非常不协调，走路的样子看起来滑稽甚至可笑。但是她坚持每天一个人在家门前的马路上默默地走着，每天两三次，一次一个多小时。刚开始我偶尔还会听到一些路人在她身后嘲笑她，议论她。就这样，好几个月过去了，她还是一个人默默地走着，不过她的步子可以迈大一些了，走路的样子也比以前协调许多了，再也没有人在她身后嘲笑她。

又过了一段时间，我看到她在路边的绿地上，带领着一群老人做运动手脚的健身操。夕阳西下，阳光洒在老太身上，她的身边站着围成一圈的多位老人，她喊着口令，做着动作，其他的老人看着她，跟随着她一起运动。那场景令人感动和唏嘘不已。

不是每一个人都懂得尊重自己，也不是每一个人都能坚持做想成为的自己，大多数人都像海面上拥挤不堪的船只随波逐流。因为他们很多人都没有自己，谈何尊重自己。学会尊重自己对一个人来说是一场漫长的旅程。而那些已然懂得尊重自己，正按照自己的心意好好生活的人不仅配得上他人的尊重，还配得上他人的喝彩与赞叹。

《读者》是我们这一代乃至两三代人的共同回忆。实际上，当说到“《读者》盛行的年代”这句话的时候，《读者》已经开始有了下滑的趋势。我们这一代人，记得更清楚的当是《读者文摘》，甚至在它正式改名后的很多年里，仍然习惯这样一种叫法。

如果记忆无误，《读者文摘》更名为《读者》应该是1993年的事情。想证实这个记忆是否有误，百度一下就能知道，但我不是很愿意这样做。记忆，会发生一些主观上的变动，我之所以把这个更名的时间记成1993年，说明记忆有它本身的理由。

在那个年代里，《读者》或者说更早的《读者文摘》，就相当于现在的朋友圈和“看一看”。很多优美的文字都是因为被《读者》转载、摘录过，才得以在更大范围内流传。当时在看《读者》的时候，只专注于文章内容，没有过多去留意作者，以及摘录于那本书籍之类的信息。到了日后，在阅读某一位作家的著作和文集时，会猛然间想起：“这篇文章，很多年前在《读者》上看过！”心中就有了老友重逢般的喜悦。

究竟在《读者》上看过多少好文章？这确然不是一个可以回答的问题。可以不夸张地说，正是由于《读者》是文摘类的月刊杂志（后来改为半月刊，还出了原创版），所以上面的文章都是精益求精、优中选优的好文章；几乎每一篇都认真读过，每一篇都在潜移默化中成为自身的营养。

这么多年过去，在《读者》（《读者文摘》）上读到的，最为难忘的文章有四篇，其中有两篇由于日后购买了作者的著作，而得以知晓是谁的文字；其他两篇，只记住了文章内容，而作者却一直不详——相对于只记住作者姓名，而没能记住他（她）的文章，作家更愿意选择读者记住他（她）的文字吧。

这四篇文章，第一篇是作家铁凝的《四季歌》。描写了一对恋人在春、夏、秋、冬不同季节里在公园约会散步的场景。这一对恋人最终分手，而分手的原因，铁凝没有从正面描写，只是从两人的对话中给读者留下大量的信息和线索。包括男青年对恋人说起前任的种种不是，女孩儿在想：我又会给他今后的恋人，留下了什么样的谈资呢？在读这篇文章的时候，我还是一位少年，心中有着难言的惆怅。懵懂中对爱的那种向往有了一种说不出的畏缩。

另一篇是作家原野（鲍尔吉·原野）的《寻找鲍尔吉》。这是一篇很好玩的文字。我读了很多很多遍。由于收到一张汇款单（稿费），收款人为鲍尔吉·原野，让原野很是为难。鲍尔吉是原野的蒙古姓氏，很少用，而且身份证上也只是原野。杂志社不知道哪根筋出了问题，在那张汇款单上写了“鲍尔吉·原野”，结果邮电局的姑娘怎么也不让他取款，说他是原野，必须和“鲍尔吉”一起来才可以。

原野就打算找人来假扮“鲍尔吉”，刚开始是找路人，比如知识分子模样的人，结果人家根本不同意——那怎么可以！不能作假。找个小混混，小混混不但要钱，还出言不逊。原野出手制伏小混混，用手捏住小混混的下巴，结果嘴变成了“o”型，原野说换成别人会朝里面吐一口唾沫，他认为不文明，所以没吐。一本正经地写来，正是这篇文章好玩的地方。

另一篇是《五十岁，我有了自己的书房》，作者不详。那时候的我，觉得五十岁才有自己的书房，没什么意思了——如今我五十岁，才真正读懂这篇文章。

另外就还有一首国外的译诗《杰克吻了我》。大意是名叫杰克的小伙子，突然从公园靠背椅上站起来吻了“我”。岁月再怎么蹉跎，任凭年华逝去，红颜易老，黄花飘零，这一切能又如何？只因为很多很多年前，杰克吻过我。

我在后来翻阅了手上所有保存的《读者》，但始终没在找到这首诗。或者不是杰克，是约翰？或威廉？再后来，又没有缘由认为是勃朗宁夫人的作品，不过查讯依然无果。

这些都不重要了，那些年里从《读者》上的读到的文章，早已经成为生命里血肉不可分割的一部分。不管是杰克还是任何一个名字，都让我知道，文字可以打败时间，每当回忆起那个瞬间，就是永远的青葱少年。

我想说当年确实看过非常多令人非常感动的文章，但是现在都忘了，而过长大之后发现那些文章都是作者杜撰的心灵鸡汤，尤其喜欢讲国外如何如何，所以现在无法产生共鸣了，也无法感动。

经典优美英文文章1

Have You Seen the Tree

你见过那棵树吗

My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it."Have you seen the tree?" she asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight.

关于那棵树，最初是我的邻居加根太太告诉我的。“你见过那棵树吗?”她问道，当时我正坐在后院欣赏十月的暮色。

"The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful tree-all kinds of are stopping to look. You ought to see it."

“就是下去拐角处的那棵”她解释说，“漂亮极了—五颜六色的。好多车路过都停下来看，你该去看看。”

I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with petty worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone's house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.

我对她说我会去看的，可转眼就忘记了关于树的事。三天后，我顺着街道慢跑，脑子里充斥着恼人的小事，忽然，一片耀眼的橘红色映入眼帘，有一会儿，我还以为是谁家的房子着火了呢，但我马上想到了那棵树。

As I approached it, I slowed to a walk. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its the messy whirl of an artist's palette, the tree blazed a bright crimson on its lower branches, burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center. and simmered to deep red at its top. Through these fiery colors cascaded thin rivulets of pale-green leaves and blotches of deep-green leaves, as yet untouched by autumn.

我慢慢走近它.就像朝圣者缓缓步向神殿，我发现靠近树梢的地方有几根光秃秃的枝丫，上面黑乎乎的小枝像鹰爪一般伸向天空。枯枝上落下的叶子一片猩红，像地毯似的铺在树干周围。

Edging closer-like a pilgrim approaching a shrine-I noticed several bare branches near the top, their black twigs scratching the air like leaves they had shed lay like a scarlet carpet around the trunk.

当我靠近树时，禁不住放慢了脚步。树的形状并没有什么非凡之处，是一棵中等大小的枫树。但加根太太说得不错，它的色彩确实奇特，像画家调色板中斑斓的颇料，令人眼花缭乱。树底部的枝丫好似一片鲜红的火海，树的中部燃烧着明快的黄色和橘色，顶部的树梢又爆发着深红色。在这火一样的色彩中，流淌着浅绿的叶子汇成的小溪，深绿的叶子斑驳点缀其间，似乎至今末曾受到过秋天的侵袭。

With its varied nations of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light and dark greens, the autumn and winter of the Northern in the blazing yellows and bare branches.

这棵枫树集各种颇色于一体。如果一种颜色就是一个国家，枫树俨然成了一个缤纷的地球，它张开宽大的枝条，历数着四季轮回，容纳着五湖四海。深浅错落的绿叶，昭示着南半球的春夏，耀眼的黄叶和光秃秃的枝丫勾勒出北半球的秋冬。整个星球就围绕这一时空的交集点和谐运转。

As I marveled at this all-encompassing beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's comments about the stars. If the constellations appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.

我为这棵树无所不包的美而惊叹不已。这时,我想起了著名作家拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生有关星星的评论。他在《自然》一书中写道：倘若星座一千年才出现一次，那么，星座的出现是一桩多么激动人心的事;可正因为星座每夜都挂在天上，人们才很少去看上一眼。

I felt the same way about the tree. Because its majesty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.

对于眼前这棵树，我也有同感。它此时的华美只能维持一个星期，所以它对于我们就相当珍贵。可我竟差一点错过了。

Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetts, he tolled a church bell to alert townspeople. That's what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a Paul Revere of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder.

有一次，当埃米莉·迪金森的父亲偶然看见马萨诸塞州上空一道炫目的北极光时，他立刻跑到教堂鸣钟告知所有市民。现在，我也产生了同样的想法，我要向世人宣扬这棵树。我愿成为秋天的信使。让田园乡村每一个角落的人们都了解它的神奇。

I didn't have a church bell or a horse, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but momentous question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: "Have you seen the tree?"

可我没有教堂的大钟，也没有快马，但当我走在回家的路上，我会问遇见的每一位邻居加根太太曾问过我的那个极其简单又极其重要的问题:“你见过那棵树吗?”

这些就是2016年我想去爱的方式。我想在认识你之前先懂得爱，我想感受到爱情的本质并懂得它的悲哀。我想如此去爱，这样我就会有足够的爱来传递给你，我会耐心地等待着那一天的到来，在那天我将把所有爱都传递给你。

Of Study论读书

-By Francis Bacon弗兰西斯·培根

书籍是喂养人类灵魂的粮食，人不吃饭会饿死，那么人的精神缺乏适当的喂养也会饥饿，我想在现代这个速食的社会所缺乏的就是精神食粮的喂养。不断阅读，这样我们才不至于越来越肤浅。

Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.

读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时;其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中;其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然纵观统筹、全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。

They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation Read not to contradict and confute nor to believe and take for granted.

读书补天然之不足， 经验 又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接;而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书，无知者羡读书，唯明智之士用读书，然书并不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.

书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只需读其部分者，有只需大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。

First Snow初雪

初雪来临的时候，有人在漫天飞舞的雪花中欢呼雀跃，恨不能随之飞舞;也有孩童迫不及待地冲出家门，想用初雪堆砌冬天第一个雪人;也有人望着落于手心，慢慢融化的雪花，神情恬淡而飘缈;亲爱的，你是怎样迎接每一场初雪的?

This morning, when I first caught sight of the unfamiliar whitened world, I could not help wishing that we had snow oftener, that English winters were more wintry.

今天早上，当我第一次看见这个陌生的银白色的世界时，我不禁衷心希望这里能够多下几场雪，这样我们英国的冬天才能更增添几分冬天的味道。

How delightful it would be, I thought, to have months of clean snow and a landscape sparkling with frost instead of innumerable grey featureless days of rain and raw winds.

我想，如果我们这里经常是个冰雪积月、霜华璀璨的景象，而不是像现在这种苦雨凄风永无尽期的阴沉而乏特色的日子，那该多么令人喜悦啊!

I began to envy my friends in such places as the Eastern States of America and Canada, who can count upon a solid winter every year and know that the snow will arrive by a certain date and will remain, without degenerating into black slush, until Spring is close at hand. To have snow and frost and yet a clear sunny sky and air as crisp as a biscuit - this seemed to me happiness indeed.

于是我羡慕起那些居住在美国东部各州和加拿大的我的友人们，他们那里年年都能出现一个像样的冬天，都能说得出降雪的确切日期，并能保证，直至大地春回之前，那里的雪绝无退化为黑色泥浆的可能。既有霜雪，又有晴朗温煦的天空，而且空气又非常凉爽清新——这在我看来实在是很大的快乐。

And then I saw that it would never do for us. We should be sick of it in a week. After the first day the magic would be gone and there would be nothing left but the unchanging glare of the day and the bitter cruel nights.

但马上我又觉得这样还是不行。不出一周人们就会对它感到厌烦。第一天后魔力便会消失，剩下的唯有白昼那种永无变化的耀眼阳光与刺骨严寒和凄冷的夜晚。

It is not the snow itself,the sight of the blanketed world, that is so enchanting, but the first coming of the snow, the sudden and silent of the relations, for ever shifting and unanticipated,of wind and water comes a magical event.

让人如此着迷的不是雪的本身，不在这个银装素裹的景象，而是初雪降临时，那突然而宁静的变化。正是从风风雨雨这类变幻无常和难以预期的关系之中才会出现这种以降雪为奇迹的情形。

Who would change this state of things for a steadily recurring round,an earth governed by the calendar? It has been well said that while other countries have a climate, we alone in England have weather. There is nothing duller than climate,which can be converted into a topic only by scientists and hypochondriacs.

谁又肯拿眼前这般景致去换上个永远周而复始的单调局面，一个全由年历来控制的大地?有一句话说的好，别的国家都有气候，唯有英国才有天气。气候是最为枯燥和乏味的，或许只有科学家与疑难杂症患者才会把它当做话题。

But weather is our earth's Cleopatra, and it is not to be wondered at that we, who must share her gigantic moods, should be for ever talking about her. Once we were settled in America, Siberia, Australia, where there is nothing but a steady pact between climate and the calendar,we should regret her very naughtinesses, her willful pranks,her gusts of rage, and sudden tears.

但是天气却是我们这块土地上的克里奥佩特拉，因而毫不奇怪，人们为它巨大情绪变化所左右，总不免要对她窃窃私议。假如一旦我们定居于美洲、西伯利亚与澳大利亚，在那里气候与年历之间早已有成约在先，我们即使仅仅因为失去她的调皮，她任性的恶作剧，她的狂忿盛怒与涕泣涟涟也会深感遗憾。

Summer Afternoon夏日午后

夏日的午后，太阳毫不吝惜的挥洒着热度。炎炎夏日，挥汗如雨，大汗淋漓之后却有着莫名的酣畅淋漓。夏日，就这么真诚的张扬着自己独特的个性，挥洒着灼人的热情。

Summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words. Summer is the glorious time of the year when most of us can put on our shorts and short-sleeved shirts and actually feel the air and sunlight on our skin; when we don't have to turn up the heat in the morning when we get up; but also when we lay hot and sweaty in bed, unable to sleep at times (those of us who don't have air conditioning, anyway); when we get the sunburn and the heatstroke and all those wonderful things.

夏日的下午;对我来说，这几个字一直是英语语言中最美丽的两个字。浪漫夏季，这是一年中最灿烂的季节，我们可以穿上短裤，短袖，尽情地感受着夏日的空气以及撒在皮肤上的阳光;我们不必要在清晨起床后就去打开暖气;当然我们也会满身是汗，燥热地躺在床上，而无法入眠(那些没有空调设施的人们);有了一身夏日晒斑，中暑，这一切都是我们经历着夏日的美妙事情。

All green and fair the summer lies, just budded from the bud of spring, with tender blue of wistful skies, and winds that softly sing. How beautiful the summer night is, which is not night, but a sunless, yet unclouded day,descending upon earth with dews and shadows and refreshing coolness! How beautiful the long mild twilight,which, like a silver clasp, unites today with yesterday!

夏日展现出一片翠绿、美丽的图画，就像春天的蓓蕾刚刚萌芽，湛蓝的令人向往的天空，还有那轻声吟唱的微风。夏日的夜晚也是美丽的，与其称它为夜晚，它其实更像一个阳光照射不到的，晴朗的白昼，它携带清露，阴凉以及一丝丝清爽降落到了地球!这漫长柔和的夏日黎明也是如此美丽，它就像一个银扣，将今天与昨天紧紧地联系在一起!

Summer is a sailor in a rowboat and ice-cream on your dress when you're four years old. Summer is a man with his coat off, wet sand between your toes, the smell of a garden an hour before moonrise. Summer is silk itself, a giant geranium and music from a flute far away!

夏日是一叶小舟上的船夫，是你四岁时不小心沾在裙脚上的冰淇淋;夏日是赤裸着上身的男人，是浸入你脚趾间的湿漉漉的沙子;夏日还是朝阳初升前一小时的那花园里的清香味。夏日就是那丝绸锦缎，那盛开的天竺葵，以及从远方飘来的悠悠长笛声!

No matter how we see it, summer has a magic that we can't deny - all four seasons do.

不管我们如何看待它，夏季总有着那么一种我们无法否认的魔力——每个季节独有的魔力。

Everyone has his dreams, but not all these dreams can come true. People give up their dreams for this or that reason. Those whose dreams become true have at least one thing in common, that is, they always hold fast to their dreams.

Marie Curie, a famous scientist, has set a good example. In 1898, Marie found a new element in the pitchblende. In order to prove her discovery, she must get it and show it to the world. Then to get the new element became her dream and goal of her life. After four years hard work and refinement of tons of pitchblende, Marie and her hus-band at last saw the dim blue light of the new element -- radium. Her dream had come true. There are many other examples. Just around us, for instance, the athletes who gain the gold medals, the artists who are popular with the public, and even the students who enter tile university after years of hard study and preparation, are all dream-holders.

Hold fast to your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide, even some sacrifices are needed, but hold on to the end, you ,sill find there is no greater happiness than making your dream come true.

英文经典文章摘抄1

The Faculty of Delight

喜悦的能力

Among the mind's powers is one that comes of itself to many children and artists. It need not be lost, to the end of his days, by any one who has ever had it. This is the power of taking delight in a thing, or rather in anything, everything, not as a means to some other end, but just because it is what it is, as the lover dotes on whatever may be the traits of the beloved object. A child in the full health of his mind wifi put his hand flat on the summer turf, feel it, and give a little shiver of private glee at the elastic firmness of the globe. He is not thinking how well it will do for some game or to feed sheep upon. That would be the way of the wooer whose mind runs on his mistress's money. The child's is sheer affection, the true ecstatic sense of the thing's inherent characteristics. No matter what the things may be, no matter what they are good or no good for, there they are, each with a thrilling unique look and feel of its own, like a face; the iron astringently coop under its paint, the painted wood familiarly warmer, the clod crumbling enchantingly down in the hands, with its little dry smell of the sun and of hot nettles ; each common thing a personality marked by delicious differences.

在心智的各种能力中，有一种能力对于许多 儿童 和艺术家来说是与生倶来的，而且一旦获得它，就终身不会失去。这种能力就是对一件事物、甚至对每件事物都感到喜悦的能力。之所以感到喜悦，并不是因为那件事物是达到其他目的的手段，只是因为这件事情本身，正如一个情人觉得他所喜爱的对象是十全十美一样。一个心智健康的儿童也许会把他的手放在夏天的草地上，抚摸着它，他觉得坚实的大地也有点弹性，因而打心眼里感到欣喜。他并不会考虑这草地对于人们玩游戏或用来放羊会有多大好处。如果这样的话，那就是一心贪图钱财的追求者的恶劣行径了。但这孩子内心的喜悦却是至真至纯的，是对这件事物的内在特性感到真正的心醉神迷。不管这些事物是什么，也不管它们对什么有用或者没用，它们自然地存在着，有着自己动人的外观与感觉，就像一张面孔那样;油漆下面冰凉的钢铁，温暖可亲的彩色木料，拿在手中一揉就碎的令人着迷的土块，微微含着日晒与荨麻的干燥气味;各种普通的事物都有着可爱的差别，因而都突显了其独特的性格。

The joy of an Adam new to the garden and just looking round is brought by the normal child to the things that he does as well as those that he sees. To be suffered to do some plain work with the real spade used by mankind can give him a mystical exaltation : to come home with his legs, as the French say, reentering his body from the fatigue of helping the gardener to weed beds sends him to sleep in the glow of a beatitude that is an end in itself…

初到伊甸园的亚当左右张望，充满喜悦，这正是一个正常的儿童在做什么或看什么时所感到的欣喜之情。如果让他拿起人们使用的真正的铲子去做点普通的劳动，那他肯定会感到一种神秘的喜悦。当他经过一番辛劳，帮助园丁把花园里的杂草除掉，两只脚像缩进身体里似的走了回来(像法国人说的那样)，他会在一片纯粹的喜悦之光的照耀下安然睡去……

英文经典文章摘抄2

Serenity

平静

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in selfcontrol, Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

心灵的平静是智慧的宝藏，它来自于长期、耐心的自我控制。内心的安宁是经历成熟的表现，也是对思想活动规律的更深入的了解。

A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.

一个人能否心境平和，取决于他对自己的了解程度，因为如果他想了解别人，就必须先了解自己;当他对人对己有了更深入的了解，并越来越清晰地洞察到事物内部息息相关的因果关系时，他就不会再惊讶、愤怒、焦虑或忧愁，而是以从容、镇定、平和的态度去对待一切。

The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater selfcontrol and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable.

镇静的人知道怎样控制自己，也知道如何去适应与他人相处;反之，别人也会对他的人格魅力表示尊重，并会以他为榜样，认为他是个可靠的人。一个人越是处变不惊，他的成就、影响力和号召力就越大。即使是一个普通商人，如果他遇事能够很好地自我控制并镇定自若，那么他会发现自己的生意蒸蒸日上;因为人们总是更愿意与一个举止从容、沉着冷静的人打交道。

The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shadegiving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweettempered, balanced life?" It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life, a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!

坚强、冷静的人总是会赢得人们的好感和敬意;他就像烈日下一棵浓荫遮地的大树，或是暴风雨中能够遮风挡雨的巨岩。“谁不爱一颗安静的心，一个温和、平实的生命呢?”无论是狂风暴雨，还是红曰当空，无论是天翻地覆，还是命运逆转，一切都等闲视之，因为这样的人永远都是谦和、冷静、沉着。那种我们称之为泰然自若的平静性格，是修养的最后一课，也是灵魂之花的硕果。它像智慧一样宝贵，价值胜过黄金一是的，胜过足赤真金。与宁静的生活相比，追逐名利的行为多么不值一提，那是一种在真理的海洋中的生活，在惊涛骇浪之下，远离暴风雨的侵扰，永远存在于宁静之中。

"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of selfcontrol. How few people we meet in life who are well balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!"

“我们认识的许多人都把自己的生活搞得一片狼藉，他们的怒火破坏了所有美好的事物，同时也摧毁了自己安静的生活，并遗祸后代!现在的问题是，大多数人是否因为缺乏自我控制能力而破坏了自己的生活，损毁了原有的幸福呢?在生活中，我们很少遇到能够做到沉着冷静、拥有成熟的性格所特有的那种平静的人。”

Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.

是的，人性因为无法控制的激情而躁动不安，因为放任无度的悲伤而起伏波动，因为焦虑和猜疑而备受打击。只有睿智的人，只有控制并净化了思想的人，才能在心灵的世界里呼风唤雨。

Tempesttossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this in the o cean of life the isles of blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding master; he does but sleep; wake him. Selfcontrol is strength; right thought is mastery; calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"

经历过暴风雨洗礼的人们，无论你们身在何方，无论你们处境如何，你们都要知道，在生活的海洋中，幸福的岛屿在对你微笑;照耀你理想的阳光就在前方。要牢牢握住思想之舵。在你的灵魂深处，有一个指引你方向的主宰者，他可能还在沉睡，唤醒他吧。自我控制是力量，正确的思想是优势，沉着冷静是能量。要时常对你的心灵说：“平和，安静!”

The Lord is My Shepherd

耶和华是我的牧者

A psalm of David

(大卫的诗)

The LORD is my shepherd,

耶和华是我的牧者，

I shall not be in want.

我必不至缺乏。

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

他使我躺卧在青草地上，

he leads me beside quiet waters,

领我在可安歇的水边。

he restores my soul.

他使我的灵魂苏醒，

He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

为自己的名引导我走义路，

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

我虽然行过死荫的幽谷，

I will fear no evil,

也不怕遭害，

for you are with me;

因为你与我同在;

your rod and your staff,

你的杖，你的竿，

they comfort me.

都安慰我。

You prepare a table before me

在我敌人面前，

in the presence of my enemies.

你为我摆设筵席。

You anoint my head with oil;

你用油膏了我的头，

my cup overflows.

使我的福杯满溢。

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,

我一生一世必有恩惠慈爱随着我，

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

我且要住在耶和华的殿中，直到永远!

True nobility

真实的高贵

In a calm sea every man is a pilot.

在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。

But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.

但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。

In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.

在生活和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。

I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.

我一向认为，内心生活开始更为严谨的人，他的外在生活也会变得更为简朴。在物欲横流的年代，但愿我能向世人表明：人类的真正需求少得多么可怜。

To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

反思 自己的过错不至于重蹈覆辙才是真正的悔悟。高人一等并没有什么值得夸耀的。真正的高贵是优于过去的自已。

Be grateful to life

感恩生活

Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much.

美国总统罗斯福的家曾经失窃，财物损失严重。朋友闻此消息，就写信来安慰他，劝他不必把这件事放在心上。

President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”

罗斯福总统很快回信说：“亲爱的朋友，谢谢你来信安慰我，我一切都很好。我想我应该感谢上帝，因为：第一，我损失的只是财物，而人却毫发未损;第二，我只损失了部分财物，而非所有财产;第三，最幸运的是，做小偷的是那个人，而不是我……”

It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.

对任何人来说，家中失窃绝非幸事。但是，罗斯福总统却能找到三个感恩的理由。这个 故事 告诉我们，生活中，我们应该学会感恩。

Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom. . It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.

感恩是一项重要的处世哲学，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事顺通。对于各种失败和不幸，我们要豁达大度，勇敢地面对，并想办法解决。

We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also

面对困难，我们是懊恼抱怨、沮丧气馁，陷入绝望，还是对生活满怀感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起来呢?英国著名作家威廉·萨克雷说过，“生活是一面镜子，你对它笑，它也会对你笑;你对他哭，它也会对你哭。”

If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.

如果对生活感恩，你的生命将充满灿烂的阳光;如果一味怨恨，终将一无所获。我们成功时，有千万个理由感恩生活，而失败时，只要一个借口就会表现出忘恩负义。

I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.

我想，不论是遭遇失败还是不幸，我们都应该感谢生活。只有这样，失败后，我们才能发现自己的缺点和不足，不幸时，我们还能感受到安慰和温暖。这些就能帮我们找回勇气，战胜困难，并获取前进的强大推动力。我们应像罗斯福总统那样，换一个角度去看待生活中的失败和挫折，永远对生活充满感恩，才能时刻保持健康的心态，积极地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不断进取的精神。感恩不仅仅是一种精神慰藉，也不是对现实的规避，更不是阿Q的精神胜利法。感恩源于我们对生活的热爱和希望，它是我们歌颂生活的一种方式。

When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.

把一小块明矾放入混沌的水中，我们发现，水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一颗感恩的心，就能沉淀许多的浮躁和不安，消融许多的不满和不幸。感恩能让我们的生活变得更加美好。
