英文短篇励志美文摘抄【第一篇】

nearly everybody has a creek in his or her past, a secret waterway where one spent the spring of one’s youth.

几乎每一个人的过去都流淌着一条小溪,它发源于少年时代,一路潺潺絮语而来。

an old man’s voice weakens as he talks of a boyhood creek in louisian where he swam and fished. a woman feels suddenly at home again as she remembers catching fish in the creek behind her parents’ house.

一位老人谈起他孩提时在路易斯安那故乡的小溪里游泳、钓鱼时,语调便柔和起来。一位妇女一想起在她父母屋后的小溪里捉鱼的情景,顿时感到重新回到了故乡。

my creek wound between grandfather’s garden and a neighbor’s hillside pasture. its banks were shaded by cottonwood3 and redwood trees. on hot summer days the clear and cold water flowed over the little beaches where i fished.

我心中的小溪蜿蜒流淌在祖父的花园和邻居山腰的草地之间,三角叶杨和红杉将两岸遮得严严实实,密不透风。英语美文炎炎夏日,清澈透凉的溪水静静地流过散满砾石的小沙滩,我就在那儿钓鱼。

nothing historic ever happened in these creeks, but they are deep in memory. these creeks are bigger than they seem. they are a part of our hearts and minds more than powerful rivers.

在这些记忆中的小溪里从来没有发生过什么惊天动地的大事,然而,它们深深扎根于记忆中。它们比看上去要博大得多。与汹涌澎湃的大河相比,小溪更深深地融入我们的大脑和心灵。

while rivers are heavy, creeks are clear, innocent, lively and full of dreams and a child can paddle across them without a parent’s warnings. you can go to it alone, catch fish in it and swing from the ropes along its banks. creeks belong to childhood, drawing you into a wider world, teaching you the curve of the earth.

大河积淀厚重,深不可测;小溪则清澈、纯净、活泼,充满了梦想和希望。孩子们不必担心父母的告诫即可涉水而过。你可以独自去小溪中捉鱼,在岸边系上绳子荡秋千。小溪属于童年,将孩子们带入一个更加广阔的世界,让你领略到大地起伏的轮廓。

poet robert frost once wrote: it flows between us, over us and with us. and it is time, strength, tone, light, life and love.

诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特写道:"小溪流淌着,在我们之中,在我们之上,跟我们融为一体。小溪是时间、力量、乐曲、光明、生命和爱。"

英文短篇励志美文摘抄【第二篇】

and what shall i do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? first, i will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. i will waste not a moment mourning yesterday's misfortunes, yesterday's defeats, yesterday's aches of the heart, for why should i throw good after bad?

can sand flow upward in the hour glass? will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? can i relive the errors of yesterday and right them? can i call back yesterday's wounds and make them whole? can i become younger than yesterday? can i take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? no. yesterday is buried forever and i will think of it no more.

and what then shall i do? forgetting yesterday neither will i think of tomorrow. why should i throw note after maybe? can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's? will the sun rise twice this morning? can i perform tomorrow's deeds while standing in today's path? can i place tomorrow's gold in today's purse? can tomorrow's child be born today? can tomorrow's death cast its shadow backward and darken today's joy? should i concern myself over events which l may never witness? should i torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? no! tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and i will think of it no more.

i will live this day as if it is my last.

this day is all i have and these hours are now my eternity. i greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. i lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. so too, i will beat upon my heart with gratitude as i consider all who greeted yesterday's sunrise who are no longer with the living today. i am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. why have i been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than i, have departed? is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? is this another opportunity for me to become the man i know i can be? is there a purpose in nature? is this my day to excel?

i will live this day as if it is my last.

i have but one life and life is naught but a measurement of time. when i waste one i destroy the other. if i waste today i destroy the last page of my life. therefore, each hour of this day will i cherish for it can never return. it cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow, for who can trap the wind? each minute of this day will i grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. what dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? what price dare i place on the hours ahead? i will make them priceless!

i will live this day as if it is my last.

i will avoid with fury the killers of time. procrastination i will destroy with action; doubt i will bury under faith; fear i will dismember with confidence. where there are idle mouths i will listen not; where there are idle hands i will linger not; where there are idle bodies i will visit not. henceforth i know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those i love. i am not a thief. i am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.

i will live this day as if it is my last.

the duties of today i shall fu1fill today. today i shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will i. today i shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will i. today i shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will i hear his cries. today i shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow i will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.

i will live this day as if it is my last.

and if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. this day i will make the best day of my life. this day i will drink every minute to its full. i will savor its taste and give thanks. i will make the every hour count and each minute i will trade only for something of value. i will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then i will continue. i will make more calls than ever before. i will sell more goods than ever before. i will earn more gold than ever before. each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. my last must be my best.

i will live this day as if it is my last. and if it is not, i shall fall to my knees and give thanks.

days get longer and warmer in the spring.

there are new leaves on the trees.

flowers begin to grow.

rain makes the grass green and helps the plants grow.

spring is the time of new life. nature puts on new clothes in many colors —red, yellow, blue, white, and purple.

birds build nests in the spring.

many baby animals appear.

people like to make gardens and farmers plant crops in the fields.

spring is the season for young love. “in the spring a young man’s thoughts turn to love.” according to an old saying.

the cat and the bell (猫和铃）

there were many mice in a house. the man of the house got a cat. the cat killed many of the mice.

then the oldest mouse said, " all mice must come to my hole tonight, and we will think what we can do about this cat."

all the mice came. many mice spoke, but none knew what to do. at last a young mouse stood up and said, "we must put a bell on the cat. then, when the cat comes near, we shall hear the bell and run away and hide. so the cat will not catch any more mice."

then the old mouse asked, " who will put the bell on the cat?"

no mouse answered.

he waited, but still no one answered.

at last he said, "it is not hard to say things; but it is harder to do them."

a woodman came into a forest to ask the trees to give him a handle for ax. it seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once agreed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain, homely ash should furnish what was wanted.

no sooner had the woodman fitted the staff to his purpose ,than he began laying about him on all side. felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the cedar: "the first concession has lost all ;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves.

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.

英文短篇励志美文摘抄【第五篇】

你无法改变那些必然发生的事情，它们终会发生。你要做的就是期望它们发生，甚至在发生前就把它们看作已经发生的事实，那么你就不会那么恼怒了。

你不会表现过分。你会很合适的做出回应。你可以和当事人谈谈他们的行为，平心静气的请求他们考虑一下你的感受…你不会过于情绪化以至于把事情搞得更加复杂。

你会微笑，思考，“这是我所期望发生的。杯子早就摔碎了。我可以接受。”

你的内心会很安静。我的朋友们，这是一个多么受欢迎的小惊喜啊。

how many times have you gotten upset because someone wasn’t doing their job, because your child isn’t behaving, because your partner or friend isn’t living up to his or her end of the bargain?

how many times have you been irritated when someone doesn’t do things the way you’re used to? or when you’ve planned something carefully and things didn’t go as you’d hoped?

this kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us — it’s part of the human experience.

one thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie. or cut me off in traffic. or don’t wash their dishes after eating. actually, i have a lot of these little annoyances — don’t we all?

and it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.

let me let you in on a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken.

see, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we like, the way we expect them to. think of how many times this has been true for you.

and so the solution is simple: expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned, expect the unexpected to happen. and accept it.

one quick example: on our recent trip to japan, i told my kids to expect things to go wrong — they always do on a trip. i told them, “see it as part of the adventure.”

and this worked like a charm. when we inevitably took the wrong train on a foreign-language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to disney sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the national children’s castle closed on mondays … they said, “it’s part of the adventure!” and it was all ok — we didn’t get too bothered.

so when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks, someday, you might get upset. but not if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. you know it’ll break someday, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. be a time-traveler, or someone with time-traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks.

and when it breaks, you won’t be upset or sad — because it was already broken, from the day you got it. and you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.

expect your child to mess up — all children do. and don’t get so upset when they mess up, when they don’t do what they’re “supposed” to do … because they’re supposed to mess up.

expect your partner to be less than perfect.

expect your friend to not show up sometimes.

expect things to go not according to plan.

expect people to be rude sometimes.

expect coworkers not to come through sometimes.

expect roommates not to wash their dishes or pick up their clothes, sometimes.

expect the glass to break.

and accept it.

you won’t change these inevitable facts — they will happen, eventually. and if you expect it to happen — even see it as already happening, before it happens — you won’t get so upset.

you won’t overreact. you’ll respond appropriately, but not overreact. you can talk to the person about their behavior, and ask them kindly to consider your feelings when they do this … but you won’t get overly emotional and blow things out of proportion.

you’ll smile, and think, “i expected that to happen. the glass was already broken. and i accept that.”

you’ll have peace of mind. and that, my friends, is a welcome surprise.
