　　关于精美的英语美文篇1

　　The Life I Pursued

　　That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life it offers has a homely grace. It reminds you of a placid(平静的，温和的) rivulet(小溪，小河) , meandering(漫步) smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague(模糊的) uneasiness(不安，担忧) .

　　Perhaps it is only by a kink(扭结，奇想) in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss(有毛病的，有缺陷的) . I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.

　　There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights. In my heart was desire to live more dangerously. I was not unprepared for jagged(锯齿状的) rocks and treacherous(奸诈的，叛逆的) , shoals(浅滩，沙洲) it I could only have change-change and the excitement of unforeseen.

　　Enjoy Loneliness

　　I find it wholesome(健全的，有益健康的) to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome(疲倦的，厌倦的) and dissipating(消散) . I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude(孤独，隐居) . We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will. Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent(勤勉的，用功的) student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervish(托钵僧) in the desert. The farmer can work alone in the field or the woods all day, hoeing(锄地，挖掘) or chopping, and not feel lonesome, because he is employed; but when he comes home at night he cannot sit down in a room alone, at the mercy of his thoughts, but must be where he can see the folks and recreate, and, as he thinks, remunerate(酬劳，赔偿) himself for his day's solitude; and hence he wonders how the student can sit alone in the house all night and most of the day without ennui and the blues; but he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is still at work in his field, and chopping in his woods, as the farmer in his, and in turn seeks the same recreation and society that the latter does, though it may be a more condensed form of it.

　　Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette(礼仪，礼节) and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable and that we need not come to open war. We meet at the post-office, and at the sociable, and about the fireside(非正式的) every night; we live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another. Certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty communications. Consider the girls in a factory---never alone, hardly in their dreams. It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live. The value of a man is not in his skin, that we should touch him.

　　I have a great deal of company in my house; especially in the morning, when nobody calls. Let me suggest a few comparisons, that some one may convey an idea of my situation. I am no more lonely than the loon(懒人，笨蛋) in the pond that laughs so loud, or than Walden Pond itself. What company has that lonely lake, I pray?

　　And yet it has not the blue devils, but the blue angels in it, in the azure(蔚蓝的) tint of its waters. The sun is alone, except in thick weather, when there sometimes appear to be two, but one is a mock sun. god is alone---but the devil, he is far from being alone; he sees a great deal of company; he is legion. I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel(栗色) , or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee. I am no more lonely than the Millbrook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house.

　　你诚实你快乐

　　I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity(正直，诚实) and forthrightness. But it doesn't make any difference what they call it; it's still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.

　　I've been in the taxicab(出租车) business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be rough and tumble(摔倒，跌倒) fellows to be able to take it in New York. You've got to be tough to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day, these days. Because taxi drivers are tough, people get the wrong impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will shake down as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or bonds, stuff like that, people leave in their cabs. If they weren't honest, you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers.

　　One time in Brooklyn, I found an emerald(绿宝石，翡翠) ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of bundles that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn't get as much as “thank you.” Still, I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.

　　I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I held several jobs to earn a few dollars before enlisting in World War Number I. After being discharged, I bought my own cab and have owned one ever since. It hasn't been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day(以备不时之需) .

　　When I first started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer's Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days.

　　In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong(任性的，顽固的) once in a while, I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.

　　People ask me about tips. As far as I know, practically everyone will give you something. Come to think of it, most Americans are pretty generous. I always try to be nice to everyone, whether they tip or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish(教区) . I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the easier it gets.
