學(xué)習(xí)英語可以是一個(gè)枯燥的過程，也可以是一個(gè)有趣的過程。小編在此獻(xiàn)上經(jīng)典英語美文，希望對(duì)大家喜歡。

　　雙語美文：愿得一人心，白首不分離

　　One warm evening many years ago…

　　猶記得多年前，那個(gè)讓人暖心的夜晚

　　After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing. So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear. She smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile back – and she said, “When I’m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope that I can remember this very moment.

　　”整整8天除了睡著其余的時(shí)間我都陪著安吉爾，醞釀已久，我想我一定要告訴她一件事。于是這天夜里，就在她剛剛睡下，我便在她耳邊輕聲說起來，說完她就笑了，是那種希望得到我回應(yīng)的笑，接著說道：“真希望我老到75歲的時(shí)候，開始回憶，這一刻須臾會(huì)變成永恒。”

　　A few seconds later she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The room was peaceful – almost silent. All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing. I stayed awake thinking about the time we’d spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible. And at some point, I realized that it didn’t matter what we’d done or where we’d gone. Nor did the future hold any significance.

　　很快她就閉上眼睛睡著了，整個(gè)房間祥和安靜，甚至有些寂靜。耳畔起伏著安吉爾輕柔的呼吸聲，我清醒的回憶我們共度的這些美好時(shí)光，是冥冥之中的選擇成就了我們?cè)谝黄鸬臅r(shí)刻。我們做過什么，去過哪里都不重要，甚至未來也不重要。

　　All that mattered was the serenity of the moment.

　　眼下最重要的就是此刻的和諧安寧。

　　Just being with her and breathing with her.

　　只要能與她同呼吸共命運(yùn)，便別無所求。

　　The moral: We must not allow the clock, the calendar, and external pressures to rule our lives and blind us to the fact that each individual moment of our lives is a beautiful mystery and a miracle – especially those moments we spend in the presence of a loved one.

　　啟示：時(shí)間、日常事務(wù)、以及其他的外部壓力都不能左右和束縛我們的生活，因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人，尤其是與心愛之人一起度過的美好時(shí)光，才是我們生命中最讓人心馳神往，美妙動(dòng)人的追尋。

　　雙語美文：在逆境中學(xué)到了人生最重要的一課

　　Everybody has to face bad days in their life. Some face ailments, some face fears, some face poverty, some face helplessness etc etc. No one can escape from it. It is a rule of life. Two things always combines together like joy and sadness, laugh and cry, health and illness, profit and loss, morning and night, confidence and inferiority complex, victory and failure likewise good days and bad days.

　　每個(gè)人都會(huì)有不如意的時(shí)候，有人身體欠佳，有人面臨恐懼，有人貧困不堪，有人迷惘無助，等等，沒有人能夠一帆風(fēng)順，直至終老。如影隨形，此消彼長的事物，比如，高興與悲傷，歡笑與哭泣，健康與疾病，獲得與失去，早晨和晚上，自信與自卑，成功與失敗，順境和逆境也是如此。

　　You know what is the biggest advantage of bad days? You come to know GOD. What is God? What he can do? He is so friendly, understanding, loving and moreover God is the Superman he can do anything in a second. Yes true he can do anything. He is the only light in darkness. God is so merciful he always forgives and never complaint whether you ignore him many times that is why according to me God is the only best and faithful friend who never cheats.

　　你知道不順的日子帶給你最大的感悟是什么?就是你開始信奉神明。上帝是誰?他能夠幫我做些什么?他是那么的親切和藹，善解人意，胸懷廣博，不僅如此他就像超人瞬間排除一切障礙。是的上帝無所不能，他是黑暗中的一絲曙光。之所以上帝是人類完美的朋友，是因?yàn)樗侨绱颂拐\布公，慈悲為懷，予取予求，不圖回報(bào)，原諒世人的無數(shù)次薄情。

　　When bad days come a person first of all cannot understand what is going on, why me? But after sometimes he realises his strength and start doing every single thing to come out of it. And he comes out but that journey is though very painful but when you once crossed it you will find your journey very meaningful, you will feel like as your rebirth. You have totally changed your thoughts, your perception, and you can understand life better. You get the meaning of your life. In short you start becoming wise.

　　當(dāng)不幸降臨，一開始我們總會(huì)怨天尤人。但是為了擺脫困境，我們竭盡所能。當(dāng)一切過去，回頭來看，這段經(jīng)歷對(duì)你來說非比尋常，如同鳳凰涅槃。而且你的思想觀念都會(huì)發(fā)生翻天覆地的變化，對(duì)人生也會(huì)有更加深刻的領(lǐng)悟，簡而言之，你會(huì)變得更加睿智。

　　The biggest lesson of life during bad days according to me is that a person becomes spritual and a giver which he wasn't before. Life means to creat it. First think what you want in your life then start giving the same think. This is one of the most important thing I have learnt in my life. You want love then start spreading it, you want money then start giving to needy, you want happiness then start doing all things which give happiness. Everything is in your hand you only need to give first. If don't have everything then give or share what you have. Still you feel you have nothing to share then give smile. You can't imagine that your smile can do wonder for someone. So start smiling from today onwards.

　　逆境給我最深的領(lǐng)悟是，變得更加注重精神層面，懂得給予。生命的真諦在于，遵循你的內(nèi)心先去履行賦予它的意義，這是我的感悟。比如，你想要得到愛你先要懂得如何傳播愛，你想要錢，你先要懂得施舍，你想要快樂，那就先做讓別人快樂的事情。你想要得到就必須先付出。如果你一無所有，那么你至少可以面對(duì)他人，面帶微笑。微笑的魔力超乎想象，那讓我們從今天開始就堅(jiān)持面帶微笑吧。

　　The most beautiful lesson I have learnt in my life is that If you are in pain then remember one thing: time is though hard but it would be the best time of your life. You know why we have to face hard days? Did you think about it? No!!!! Ok I will tell you. We always forget two unforgettable things. First is God and second is family. Nowadays money is everything. Money is important, in fact very important but it is not a life so why to spend whole life in earning money. When will we live? What you can do now you can't do it tomorrow so don't let the day pass without enjoying.

　　逆境中讓我感到的最美好的是，體會(huì)到上帝和家庭的重要性，這兩樣?xùn)|西是我們平常最容易忽略的。每日碌碌只為功名利祿，錢財(cái)物質(zhì)固然重要，但不是生活的唯一，活在當(dāng)下，感受生活的美好安逸，不要讓這些輕易的溜走。

　　One thing I must share with you is that if you want to grow and learn more than you know, then do whatever you want to do but beyond your comfort zone. Always try to think that I can, then nothing is impossible for you. Difficulty is in the mind not in work.You know one thing when we accept life as it comes or we accept that everything happens for a reason or for our betterment. Believe me you will find your hard days as an adventure but you need to trust God and at the end you will find yourself a winner.

　　如果你們想要很好的學(xué)習(xí)成長，那么我倒有條建議，就是在你們的舒適區(qū)之外嘗試任何你們想做的事情。困難只是心魔，克服它便沒有什么可以阻擋你。坦然面對(duì)并接受人生的起落，不管是什么原因，亦或是讓我們成為很好的自己。我保證當(dāng)你回憶起這段不順，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)就像經(jīng)歷了一場冒險(xiǎn)，但你依然要相信上蒼，最后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，你自己也能成為救世主。

　　I hope you like it. Love you all and God bless you all with healthy wealthy long life and good destiny.

　　希望你們喜歡這篇雞湯文。愛你們，上帝保佑你們都長命百歲，平順喜樂。

　　美文欣賞：沒有顏值又如何?同樣能有精彩的活法

　　When I was seven years old, I would put my school book bag on both my shoulders and had it sit plumb in the middle of my back, as backpacks were made to do.

　　在我七歲那年，我會(huì)用雙肩背書包，讓它處在我背部的正中央，感覺雙肩包就應(yīng)該這么背。

　　One morning, when it was so frigid outside you could barely muster getting out of bed, my older brother joined me at the bus stop, and told me I was wearing my backpack wrong. He grabbed it, tossed it over my right shoulder with both straps on the same side and said, “There, that’s better.”

　　某天早晨，外面寒風(fēng)蕭瑟，冷到你根本不想起床，我的哥哥跟我一同在車站等車，他告訴我我的雙肩包背錯(cuò)了。他一把抓過來，將書包和兩側(cè)的背帶甩至我的右肩，然后說“看，這就好多了。”

　　Then he said, “You’re not pretty, so you have to try harder. OK?”

　　然后他說，“你不漂亮，所以你要更加努力，明白嗎?”

　　I stayed smiling because even at a young age, I understood the importance of pretending to not have emotions. In my household, it was a matter of survival. But what he said crushed me.

　　我的笑容凝固了，因?yàn)榧幢阍谇嗌倌陼r(shí)期，我也知道假裝不露聲色的重要性。在我家里，這是一種生存技能。但是他說的讓我感到崩塌。

　　Soon thereafter, I started picking up on the signs one receives when they aren’t attractive. This was made more complicated because I had a lot of friends and people who, for the most part, liked me. I was good at sports. I had various musical talents and up until life completely fell apart at home, I was a good student. I was also a fighter so people didn’t dare make fun of me overtly, at least before growth spurts kicked in and the playing field was still even.

　　此后，我開始關(guān)注人們對(duì)于低顏值人的反應(yīng)。這可是比較浩大的工程，因?yàn)槲矣性S多朋友和家人，他們大部分時(shí)候還是挺喜歡我的。我擅長體育，具有各式的音樂天賦，而且直到我的家庭生活徹底支離破碎前，我也是個(gè)好學(xué)生。我同時(shí)也很好強(qiáng)，所以人們不太敢公然地開我玩笑。至少，在發(fā)育高峰之前，生活還是比較公平的。

　　Mostly, I paid for not being conventionally attractive by being ignored or not included in “moments” – the many moments attractive people experience.

　　很多時(shí)候，我因?yàn)闆]有高顏值而被人忽略或無法經(jīng)歷“某些時(shí)刻”——那些具有高顏值的人所經(jīng)歷的時(shí)刻。

　　Many times, I walked into a room with all of my friends and witnessed them receiving compliments – everyone except me. It’s not that people look at you say, “My god, you’re incredibly ugly. Tell me, how do you not kill yourself?” It’s how you can stand next to an attractive person and the people around you, even the unattractive ones themselves, will say, “Wow, your friend is pretty. Look at her, have you ever seen a girl so pretty?”

　　不知多少次我和我朋友一起走進(jìn)教室然后看著她們接受別人的贊美，除了我之外每個(gè)人都有。也并非人們看著你說“天哪，你真是丑啊，你為什么還活著呢?”，而是你站在美女或帥哥旁邊，人們圍著你，甚至毫不起眼的人他們都會(huì)說“噢，你的朋友真漂亮?？纯此€有誰能美過她呢?”

　　It took me being observant and honest to see I didn’t belong. It took studying the aesthetics in photos taken by my friends and knowing something wasn’t quite right. It’s a lack of pride you know would be there if you were just prettier, or sexier. It’s that you simply know that no matter what you do, sans literal plastic surgery, you will never belong to a certain club.

　　我善于察言觀色，而且很誠實(shí)，所以我知道我注定不合主流。我仔細(xì)研究我朋友照片中的美學(xué)，然后發(fā)現(xiàn)某些東西并非是真理。如果你僅僅是姿色更上一層或性感尤物，你卻缺乏油然而生的自豪感。你明白無論你怎改變，除非整形，你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)屬于高顏值的團(tuán)體。

　　But here is where I throw you a curve ball: my being unattractive hasn’t stopped me from living the other side’s life. Most people never figure out how to navigate this world I live in. I will just tell you I rejected the rules of the beautiful, and learned how to make them work for me.

　　但是現(xiàn)在我給你一劑藥方：我的不出眾的相貌并不能阻止我擁有自己的生活。許多人在處于和我一樣的境地時(shí)都不知道如何掌控他們自己的方向。我想告訴你的是：我打破了顏值定律并讓他們變得有利于自己。

　　I decided I would shoot out of my league. I made friends and dated people I shouldn’t be allowed to date. I stepped over the line. I surrounded myself with individuals who are more educated, prettier or smarter than me, even in the face of people saying, quite literally, “they are out of your league.”

　　我決定擴(kuò)展我的圈子，我和以前覺得不能交朋友的人交朋友，和以前覺得不能約的人約會(huì)。我越過了那條線，周圍全是比我更有學(xué)識(shí)、更漂亮的人，甚至人們告訴我，非常實(shí)事求是的說“他們可不是你圈子里的人啊”。

　　I may not technically be the smartest or most beautiful person, but I run with those who are. I become by association, even a touch of such, even at a lower rank – beautiful. I buck the system.

　　我也許不會(huì)是最聰明最漂亮的人，但是我和這些人一同奮斗，哪怕僅有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)提升，哪怕仍然沒那么漂亮，我踢爆了這個(gè)固有的規(guī)則。

　　To do so, yes, means you may be painfully aware of what you are and will never be. You will be defined by what you have the nerve to aim at being. In doing so, you will challenge and question what smart is. You will not be generic, or predictable. Attractive is only what we define it to be. Don’t pigeonhole yourself so quickly. Live the life you want to live – even if you didn’t win the genetic lottery.

　　是的，這樣做你也許會(huì)痛苦的發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的真想并再也不可能成為“漂亮”的人。你前進(jìn)的目標(biāo)將定義你自己。如此一來，你會(huì)挑戰(zhàn)和質(zhì)疑“聰慧”。你將成為個(gè)例或非等閑之輩。美麗僅僅是我們給的定義。別那么快的給自己歸類，即使你沒有天賦，也要活出自己的精彩。
