短的高中英语美文篇1
A little Girl
Sitting on a grassy grave, beneath one of the windows of the church, was a little girl. Withher head bent back she was gazing up at the sky and singing, while one of her little handswas pointing to a tiny cloud that hovered like a golden feather above her head. The sun, whichhad suddenly become very bright, shining on her glossy hair, gave it a metallic luster, and it wasdifficult to say what was the color, dark bronze or black. So completely absorbed was she inwatching the cloud to which her strange song or incantation seemed addr0ssed, that she didnot observe me when I rose and went towards her. Over her head, high up in the blue, alark that was soaring towards' the same gauzy cloud was singing, as if in rivalry. As I slowlyapproached the child, I could see by her forehead, which, in the sunshine seemed like a globe ofpearl, and especially by her complexion, that she was uncommonly lovely. Her eyes, which atone moment seemed blue-gray, at another violet, were shaded by long black lashes, curvingbackward in a most peculiar way, and these matched in hue her eyebrows, and the tress- esthat were tossed about her tender throat and were quivering in the sunlight. All this I did nottake in at once; for at first I could see nothing but those quivering, glittering, changeful eyesturned up into my face. Gradually the other features, especially the sensitive full-lipped mouth,grew upon me as I stood silently gazing. Here seemed to me a more perfect beauty than hadever come to me in my loveliest dreams of beauty. Yet it was not her beauty so much as thelook she gave me that fascinated me, melted me.
小 女 孩
在教堂的一扇窗下长满绿草的坟堆上，坐着个小女孩。她仰着头，望着天空，唱着歌儿。她的小手指点着一朵飘浮在她头顶的金色羽毛般的小彩云。突然间，阳光显得格外灿烂，照在她光泽的头发上，给它涂上一层金属似的光彩，很难说出它突竟是什么颜色，是深褐色，还是黑色。她是那么全神贯注地望着彩云，她那奇妙的歌声，或可说是喃喃自语，似乎是对着那彩云而发的。因而她没有注意到我站起身来朝她走去。在她上空高高的蓝天里，一只展翅飞向那朵轻盈透明的彩云的云雀也在歌唱，似乎在与她赛e(。我慢步向小女孩走去，她那在阳光下如同珍珠一样圆润的前额，特别是她那肤色，使我感到她真是异常可爱。媳耶黑黑的长睫毛非常别致地朝后弯曲着，掩映着一双一会儿象是蓝灰色的，一会儿又象是紫罗兰色的眼睛。她的长睫毛同她的眉毛和头发色泽调和，披拂在她娇嫩的脖子上的发绺，在阳光里轻轻飘动。我并没有马上领略到这一切，因为我一开始只注意了那双闪闪发光、富于表情、盯着我看的眼睛。我伫立在一边默默地注视着她，才渐渐地看清了她容貌的其他部分，特别是那张灵敏而又丰满的小嘴。呈现在我眼苎的这一美的形象似乎比我在最美好的梦境中所见过的更美。然而，与其说是她的美丽，不如说是她朝我看的那种眼神，更使我着迷，更使我陶醉.

Animal And Machine
The body of an animal may well be compared with some machine like a locomotive engine.Indeed, the animal body is a machine. It is a machine composed of many parts, each partdoing some particular kind of work for which a particular kind of structure fits it; and allthe parts are dependent on each other and work together for the accomplishment of thetotal business of the machine. The locomotive must be provided with fuel, such as coal orwood or other combustible substance, the consumption of which furnishes the force orenergy of the machine. The animal body must be provided with fuel, which is called food, whichfurnished similarly the energy of the animal. Oxygen must be provided for the combustion ofthe fuel in the locomotive and of the food in the body. The locomotive is composed ofspecial parts: the fire box for the reception and combustion of fuel; the steam pipes for thecarriage of steam; the wheels for locomotion; the smokestack for throwing off waste. The ani-mal body is similarly composed of parts: the alimentary canal for the reception and assimilationof food; the excretory organs for the throwing off of waste matter; the arteries and veins forthe carriage oxygen and food-holding blood; the legs or wings for locomotion.
动物与机器
动物的身体很可以与某种机器如火车头相比。实际上，动物的身体就是一台机器.它是一台由许多部件组成的机器。每个部件起某种特定的作用，并具有特殊构造使它适合于这种作用，所有的部件互相依赖、彼此合作，以完成机器的整个任务。火车头必须添加燃料，如煤，木柴或其他可燃物质。燃料的消耗给机器提供动力或能量。动物的身体也得补充燃料，它被称为食物，给动物同样地提供能量。为使火车头里的燃料燃烧以及动物体内的食物氧化，必须提供氧气。火车头是由特殊部件构成的;接受并燃烧燃料的炉膛、运送蒸气的管道，使车头运行的轮子及排出废气的烟囱。与此相似，动物的身体也是由各种部件构成的：摄入并吸收食物的消化道、排出废物的排泄器官以及运送氧气和保存养料的血液的动脉与静脉，还有使动物行进的腿或翅膀。

Address at Gettysburg
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation,conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation soconceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of thatwar. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those whohere gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that weshould do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate -- we cannot consecrate -- we cannot hallow --this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far aboveour poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we sayhere, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicatedhere to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. Itis rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us- that from thesehonoured dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last fullmeasure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain;that this nation, under Cod, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of tilepeople, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
葛提斯堡演说
八十年前，我们的先辈在这块大陆上创建了一个新的国家。他孕育了自由之中，奉行一切人生来平等的原则。现在，我们正从事于一场伟大的内战，以考验这个国家，或者说，以考验任何孕育于自由并奉行上述原则的国家能否长久生存。我们聚集在这场战争中的一个伟大的战场上。我们在此集会，是为了把这战场的一部分奉献给那些为这个国家的生存而献身的烈士，作为他们的最后安息之所。我们这样做，是理所当然、恰如其分的。
但是，从更为广泛的意义上来说，我们无法奉献、无法圣化、无法神化这块土地。那些曾在这里战斗过的勇敢的生者与死者已经将这块土地圣化，这远不是我们微薄的力量所能增减的。全世界不会注意，也不会长久记住我们今天在这里所讲的话。但是，全世界永远不会忘记这些勇士在这里做过的事。对我们这些活着的人来说，倒是应该把自己奉献于勇士们以崇高的精神向前推进而尚未完成的事业，应该把自己奉献于依然摆在我们面前的伟大任务--我们要从这些可敬的死者身上汲取更多的献身精神，来完成他们为之献出全部忠诚的事业;我们要在这里下定最大的决心，不让烈士们的鲜血白流;要在上帝的保佑下，使我们的国家获得自由的新生;要使我们这个民有、民治、民享的政府永世长存。
