初二英语美文摘抄篇一
Catch of a lifetime 一生的收获
He was 11 and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family's cabin.www.xiao84.com
他11岁那年,只要一有机会,就会到他家小屋的码头上钓鱼。
On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening. Then he tied on a small silver lure and practiced casting. When his peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
鲈鱼季节开放的前一天晚上,他和父亲早早开始垂钓。他系上鱼饵,练习如何抛线。当鱼杆向下弯的时候,他知道线的另一端一定钓到了一条大鱼。父亲看着他技巧纯熟地在码头边沿和鱼周旋,眼神充满赞赏。
Finally, he lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but is was a bass.
最后他将筋疲力尽的鱼提出水面。这是他所见过的最大的一条,还是一条鲈鱼。
The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.----two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
父亲檫着一根火柴,看了看表。十点了---离开禁还有两个小时。他看了看鱼,又看了看男孩。
"You'll have to put it back, son." he said.
“你得把它放回去,孩子。”父亲说道。
"Dad!" cried the boy.
“爸爸!”男孩叫道。
"There will be other fish," said his father.
“还有其他的鱼嘛。”父亲说道。
"Not as big as this one," cried the boy.
“但没这么大。”男孩叫道。
He looked around the lake. No others were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father's voice that the decision was not negotiable. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
男孩环视了一遍湖。月光下附近没有其他人。他又看了看他父亲。从父亲不可动摇的语气中,他知道这个决定没有商量余地,即使没有人看到他们,更无从得知他们何时钓到了鱼。他慢慢地将鱼钩从大鲈鱼的唇上取下,然后蹲下将鱼放回水中。男孩想,他可能再也看不到这么大的鱼了。
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
那是34年前的事了。现在,男孩是纽约的一个成功的建筑师,他带着自己的儿女仍然在同一个码头上钓鱼。
And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish---again and again---every time he comes up against a question of ethics.
他猜得没错。自那次以后,他再也没有钓上过那么大的鱼了。但每次他面临道德难题而举棋不定的时候,他的眼前再三浮现出那条鱼。
For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult. Do we do right when no one is looking? Do we refuse to cut corners to get the design in on time? Or refuse to trade stocks based on information that we know we aren't supposed to have?
他父亲曾告诉他,道德即是简单的对和错的问题,但要付诸行动却很难。在没人瞧见的时候,我们是否仍遵循道德准则?为了将图纸按时完成,我们是不是也会走捷径?或者在明知道不可以的情况下,仍将公司股份卖掉?
We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young. For we would have learned the truth. The decision to do right lives fresh and fragrant in our memory.
在我们还小的时候,如果有人教导我们把鱼放回去,我们会这样做,因为我们还在学习真理。正确的决定在我们的记忆里变得深刻而清晰。
It is a story we will proudly tell our friends and grandchildren. Not about how we had a chance to beat the system and took it, but about how we did the right thing and were forever strengthened.
这个故事我们可以骄傲地讲给朋友和子孙们听,不是关于如何攻击和战胜某种体制,而是如何做正确的决定,从而变得无比坚强。
初二英语美文摘抄篇二
The unseen power of love 无形的爱的力量
I will greet this day with love in my heart.xiao84.com
我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。
For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.
因为,这是一切成功的最大秘密。强力能够劈开一块盾牌,甚至毁灭生命,但是只有爱才具有无与伦比的力量,使人们敞开心扉。在掌握了爱的艺术之前,我只算商场上的无名小卒。我要让爱成为我最大的武器,没有人能抵挡它的威力。
My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.
我的理论,他们也许反对;我的言谈,他们也许怀疑;我的穿着,他们也许不赞成;我的长相,他们也许不喜欢;甚至我廉价出售的商品都可能使他们将信将疑,然而我的爱心一定能温暖他们,就像太阳的光芒能溶化冰冷的冻土。
And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
我该怎样做呢?从今往后,我对一切都要满收爱心,这样才能获得新生。我爱太阳,它温暖我的身体;我爱雨水。它洗净我的灵魂;我爱光明,它为我指引道路;我也爱黑夜,它让我看到星辰、我迎接快乐,它使我心胸开阔;我忍受悲伤,它升华我的灵魂;我接受报酬。因为我为此付出汗水;我不怕困难,因为它们给我挑战。
And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.
我该怎样说呢?我赞美敌人。敌人于是成为朋友;我鼓励朋友,朋友于是成为手足。我要常想理由赞美别人,绝不搬弄是非,道人长短。想要批评人时,咬住舌头,想要赞美人时,高声表达。
Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.
飞鸟,清风,海浪,自然界的万物不都在用美妙动听的歌声赞美造物主吗?我也要用同样的歌声赞美她的儿女。从今往后,我要记住这个秘密。它将改变我的生活。
And how will I act? I will love all manner of men for each has qualities to be admired even though they be hidden. With love I will tear down the wall of suspicion and hate which they have built round their hearts and in its place will I build bridges so that my love may enter their souls.
我该如何行动呢?我要把爱奉献给所有的人,因为每个人都有令人钦佩的优秀品质,虽然有时不易察觉。我要用爱击垮阻碍人们心灵自由沟通的怀疑与仇恨之墙,同时,我要用我的爱在人们之间搭建一座桥梁,使我的爱能自如地进驻他们的灵魂。
I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me! I will love the failures for they can teach me. I will love the kings for they are but human; I will love the meek for they are divine. I will love the rich for they are yet lonely.
我爱雄心勃勃的人,因为他们能激励我!我爱失败者,因为他们能教育我。我爱王侯,他们也是凡人。我爱弱者,他们也是天才。我爱富人,他们更寂寞。
I will love the poor for they are so many. I will love the young for the faith they hold; I will love the old for the wisdom they share. I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness; I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.
我爱贫者,因为贫者甚多。我爱少年,因为他们纯真。我爱长者,因为他们睿智。我爱貌美的人,因为他们有忧郁的眼神。我爱丑陋的人,因为他们有颗平静的心。
But how will I react to the actions of others? With love. For just as love is my weapon to open the hearts of men, love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains.
我该他们的行为做出怎样的反应呢?爱吧。因为爱不仅是开启人们心灵的钥匙,而且也是低档仇恨之箭与愤怒之矛的盾牌。有了爱,即使逆境与挫折如锋利的长矛攻击我的心盾,也都会变得如细雨般温柔。
And how will I confront each whom I meet? In only one way. In silence and myself I will address him and say “I love you”. Though spoken in silence these words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkled my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his heart will be opened.
我该如何面对与我不期而遇的每个人呢?只有一种办法,就是默默地祝福他,并说“我爱你”。那闪现在我的眼神中的无言的爱,会舒展我紧缩的眉头,让我会心的微笑攀至嘴角,在我的声音中回荡;于是,他将向我敞开心扉。
初二英语美文摘抄篇三
Relish the Moment 品味现在
Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls. xiao84.com
在我们的潜意识之中隐藏着一派田园诗般的风景。我们仿佛处在一次横跨大陆的迢迢旅途之中。我们乘着火车,领略着窗外流动的景色:附近公路上驰骋的汽车、十字路口处挥手的孩童、远处山坡上吃草的牛群、不断从电厂排放出的烟雾、成片成片的玉米和小麦、平原和山谷、群山和绵延起伏的丘陵、天空衬托下城市的轮廓,以及乡间的庄园宅第。
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering — waiting,waiting, waiting for the station.
可是我们心中想得最多的却是最后的目的地。在某一天的某一时刻,我们的火车将会到站,迎接我们的将是演奏的乐队和飘舞的旗帜。一旦到了那儿,多少美妙的梦将成为现实,我们的生活也将变得完整,好像一幅拼好了的拼图。我们在车厢过道里烦躁不安地踱来踱去,咒骂火车的磨磨蹭蹭,等待着,等待着,等待着火车进站的时刻。
“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 18.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz.” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I have paid off the mortgage.” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!”
“当我们到站后,一切就好了!”我们呼喊着。“当我到18岁的时候。”“当我有了一辆新的450SL奔驰轿车的时候。”“当我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候。”“当我还清抵押贷款的时候。”“当我升官晋职的时候。”“当我到了退休的时候,从此就可以过上幸福的生活啦!”
Sooner or later, we must realize that there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly out distances us.
可是我们迟早会认识到人生之旅并没有什么车站,也没有什么能够“一到就可永逸”的地方。人生的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程,而车站仅仅是个梦,它总是遥遥领先于我们。
“Relish the moment” is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
“品味现在”是一句很好的箴言,尤其是把它与《圣经·诗篇》中第118篇第24段的话相结合的时候,更是如此:“今日乃主所创造;生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴。”让人发疯的不是今天的负担,而是对昨天的悔恨及对明天的恐惧。悔恨和恐惧是一对孪生窃贼,将今天从我们身边偷走。
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more icecream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunset, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
那么就停止在车厢过道里徘徊吧,别总惦记着你距离车站还有多远。何不换种活法,去攀爬更多的高山,多吃点冰激淋解解馋,经常光着脚闲游漫步,在更多的河流里畅游,多多欣赏夕阳西下,多点欢笑,少些泪花。生活要过在当下,车站会很快到达。
