简单的`英语美文短篇 篇1

　“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”

　I do not know who wrote those words, but I he always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

　We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

　I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

　The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeor.

简单的英语美文短篇 篇2

　When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Hing a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.

　At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.

　Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.

　Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.

　Find your treasure within and cherish it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.

简单的英语美文短篇 篇3

　The Power of Your Actions

　Graduation day arrived — I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him!

　Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

　He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a ... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

　I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't he to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and ge me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was sed. My friend sed me from doing the unspeakable."

　I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

　Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

　"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings he trouble remembering how to fly."

　There is no beginning or end ... Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

英语经典美文欣赏三篇

第一篇：a grain of sand

一粒沙子

william blake/威廉.布莱克

to see a world in a grain of sand,

and a heen in a wild fllower,

hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

and eternity in an hour.

从一粒沙子看到一个世界，

从一朵野花看到一个天堂，

把握在你手心里的就是无限，

永恒也就消融于一个时辰。

第二篇：love your life

热爱生活

henry did thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗

however mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps he some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and he as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.the town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often hens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them.things do not change;we change.sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

the life i desired

我所追求的生活

that must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.it reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silent,so infifferent,that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness.perhaps it is only by a kink 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.i recognized its social value.i saw its ordered hiness,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 rocks and treacherous,shoals it i could only he change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.

这一定是世间无数对夫妻的生活写照，这种生活模式给人一种天伦之美。它使人想起一条平静的溪流，蜿蜒畅游过绿茵的草场，浓荫遮蔽，最后注入烟波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太过平静，太过沉默，太过不动声色，你会突然感到莫名的不安。也许这只是我自己的一种怪诞想法，在那样的时代，这想法对我影响很深：我觉得这像大多数人一样的生活，似乎欠缺了一点儿什么。我承认这种生活有社会价值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的冲动却渴望一种更桀骜不驯的旅程．这样的安逸中好像有一种叫我惊惧不安的东西．我的心渴望一种更加惊险的生活。只要生活中还能有变迁———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁满布的海滩。

第六篇:

第七篇:

the country maid and her milk can

村姑和牛奶罐

a country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the following train of reflections."the money for which i shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,these eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.the chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year i cannot fail of hing money enough to purchase a new gown.green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best .and green it shall be, in this dress i will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to he me for a parter;but no-i shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them."

transported with this idea,she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind,when down came the can of milk!and all her imaginary hiness vanished in a moment.

一个村姑头上顶着一罐牛奶在路上行走。走着走着，她的脑子里浮现出一连串的幻想：“我卖了这罐牛奶后，用这笔钱买鸡蛋，这样我有的鸡蛋可以增加到300个。用这300个鸡蛋孵小鸡，这就算有坏的、生虫的，至少也能孵出250只小鸡。等小鸡长大后，正好能赶上卖个好市价；那么到了新年，我就能有钱买一件新晚装。买一件绿色的——让我好好想想——对，绿色与我的肤色最相衬。我穿上这件衣服去赶集，所有的年轻小伙子都会抢着邀请我做舞伴；但是不行——我要轻蔑地把头一扬，转身过去不理他们，让他们都碰个钉子。

她想得得意忘形，情不自禁地把头一扬，刹那间，牛奶罐跌了下来！她幻想的一切幸福间破灭了。

第八篇:

the day is cold,and dark,and dreary;

it rains,and the wind is never weary;

the vine still clings to the moldering wall,

but at every gust the dead lees fall,

and the day is dark and dreary.

my life is cold and dark and dreary;

it rains and the wind is never weary;

my though still cling to the moldering past,

but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,

and the days are dark and dreary.

be still,sad heart!and cease repining;

behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

thy fate is the common fate of all,

into each life some rain must fall,

some days must be dark and dreary.

天冷、阴暗、沉闷；

下着雨，风也刮个不停；

藤还攀附着颓垣残壁，

每来一阵狂风，枯叶附落纷纷，

天真是阴暗而沉闷。

我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷；

下着雨，风也刮个不停；

我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事，

大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭，

天真是阴暗而沉闷。

安静吧，忧伤的心！别再悔恨；

乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂；

你命运和大家的一样，

每个人一生都得逢上阴雨，

有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。

　控制你的情绪 Control Your Emotion

　You must control and direct your emotions not abolish them. Besides, abolition would be antimissile task. Emotions are like a river. Their power can be dammed up and released under control and direction, but is cannot be held forever in check. Sooner or later the dam will burst, unleashing catastrophic destruction.

　你必须控制并导引你的情绪而非摧毁它，况且摧毁情绪是一件不可能的事情。情绪就像河流一样，你可以筑一道堤 防把它挡起来，并在控制和导引之下排放它，但却不能永远抑制它，否则那道堤防迟早会崩溃，并造成大灾难。

　Your negative emotions can also be controlled and directed. PMA and self-discipline can remove their harmful effects and make them serve constructive purposes. Sometimes fear and anger will inspire intense action. But you must always submit your negative emotions--and you positive ones--to the examination of your reason before releasing them. Emotion without reason is a dreadful enemy.

　你的消极心态同样也可被控制和导引，积极心态和自律 可去除其中有害的部分，而使这些消极心态能为目标贡献力 量。有的时候恐惧和生气会激发出更彻底的行动，但是在你释放消极情绪(以及积极情绪)之前务必要让你的理性为它们做一番检验，缺乏理性的情绪必然是一位可怕的敌人。

　What faculty provides the crucial balance between emotions and reason? It is your willpower, or ego, a subject which will be explored in more detail below. Self-discipline will teach you to throw your willpower behind either reason or emotion and amplify the intensity of their expression.

　是什么力量使得情绪和理性之间能够达到平衡呢?是意志力或自尊心(我将在以下做更详细的说明)。自律会教导你的意志力作为理性和情绪的后盾，并强化二者的表现强度。

　Both your heart and your mind need a master, and they can find the master in your ego. However, your ego will fill their role only if you use self-discipline. In the absence of self-discipline, your mind and heart will fight their battles as they please. In this situation the person within whose mind the fight is carried out often gets badly hurt.

　你的感情和理智都需要一位主宰，而在你的自尊心里就可发现这个主宰，然而只有你在发挥你的自律精神时，自尊心才会扮演好这个角色，如果没有了自律，你的理智和感情便会随心所欲地进行战争，战争结果当然是你会受到严重的伤害。

　一万小时天才理论 The Talent Code

　The 10,000-Hour Rule says that you need roximately 10,000 hours of practice to become a world-class expert in a field. There is no other way: if you want to be a world-class expert in your field, you must do your 10,000 hours of practice.

　一万小时天才理论说的是：要想成为这一领域的世界级专家，你就需要花大约一万个小时来练习。没有其他的法子，如果你想成功，那就必须得花一万个小时。

　Then, where should you invest my 10,000 hours of practice?

　那么，你应该把这一万个小时花在哪里呢?

　This question is important because 10,000 hours is a lot of time. If you consistently practice 4 hours a day for 6 days a week, you will still need 8 years to get 10,000 hours. So answering this question is essential. If you need to invest such a huge amount of time, you?d better do it right. You?d better find your niche.

　这个问题很重要，因为一万个小时是很长的一段时间。如果你每天练习4小时，每周练习6天，那么你需要8年的时间才能达到一万个小时的练习量。所以回答?要把一万个小时花在哪?的这个问题就变得非常有必要了。你要付出这么多的时间，你就必须选好方向，选择最合适的方向。

　To find your niche, I find the three questions below helpful. Answer them and you will he an idea of where you should go. Here they are:

　为了能找到最合适的方向，我提出了下面的三个问题，如果能回答出来这些问题，你就能找到你的方向了。问题如下：

　1. Where he you invested your time?

　你过去都把时间花在了哪里?

　One way to know where to invest your time is simply to look at where you he invested your time. For example, in the last few years you might he learned how to play music for one or two hours a day. Or you might he blogged about a certain topic. Or you might he spent a lot of time on gardening.

　要想知道该在哪个方面花时间的最简单的办法就是回头看看自己已经在哪个领域花了时间。比如说，在过去的几年里，你每天都会花一两个小时来演奏音乐，或者在某个问题上持续地发表文章，又或者在园艺上花费了大量的时间。

　Those are good signs of where you should invest your 10,000 hours. You already invest part of that 10,000 hours so you only need to invest the rest. The difference is now you do it consciously and deliberately. You will be more effective that way.

　这些都能很好地说明你应该在哪些方面来利用这一万个小时的时间。你已经花了一部分时间了，那么你只需要把一万个小时中剩下的那部分时间花上去就可以了。区别在于现在你是有意识地、特意地把时间用在某个领域上，而收效也会更好。

　2. What are your passions?

　你最感兴趣的是什么?

　In fact, that?s one reason why 10,000 hours is a magic number to become a world-class expert: almost everyone else fails before reaching that point. Only a few people can reach the 10,000 hours mark and that?s why they become world class.

　事实上，兴趣就是一万个小时天才理论的奥妙之处，因为很多人都在达到这个数量级之前就放弃了。只有一小部分人可以坚持一万个小时，而他们就成了世界级的高手。

　To help you reach the 10,000 hours mark, doing something you love is really helpful. It will help you go through difficult times. It will help you overcome boredom. Without it, the 10,000 hours will feel like a painful journey. It?s highly unlikely that you will ever reach the 10,000 hours mark that way。

　为了让自己能坚持一万个小时，做自己感兴趣的事是非常重要的。它可以帮助你渡过难关，战胜无聊。如果是自己不感兴趣的东西的话，那么要坚持一万个小时简直就是一段痛苦不堪的长途跋涉啊，很有可能你在到达终点前就已经放弃了。

　3. What opportunities does the age give you?

　你所处的时代赋予了你什么?

　Ask yourself: what opportunities does your birth date give you? What opportunities does the history give you at this point in time?

　问问自己：你出生的那个时代给你带来了什么机会?现在的社会环境又给你创造了什么机遇?

　Answering these questions is not easy because it?s difficult to see whether or not something will be hot. When Bill Gates did his 10,000 hours of practice to learn programming, he might not know that it would eventually put him in a perfect position to be a software mogul. You need to he faith in something and believe that the dots will eventually connect.

　要回答这个问题并不容易因为没有人可以预见未来，知道什么东西会在将来火起来。当比尔-盖茨把他的一万个小时用于学习编程的时候，他可能也不知道最终自己会因此而成为软件业巨头。你需要对自己选择的方向有信心，要相信最终这些小的点都会连成线。

　身体最重要的部分 The Most Important Body Part

　My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.

　从前我母亲经常问我，身体最重要的部位是什么。许多年来，我一直以为自己所想的是正确答案。

　When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."

　当我很小的时候，我认为对人类而言，声音很重要，因此回答：?妈咪，是耳朵。?

　She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

　她说：?不对，有许多人是聋人。但是你继续想，不久我会再问你。?

　Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."

　当她再度问我时，已经是好几年后了。自从第一次回答之后，我就一直仔细的思考正确答案。所以这次我对她说：?妈咪，视觉对每个人都很重要，所以应该是我们的眼睛。?

　She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."

　她看着我，对我说：?你学的很快，但还是不对，因为有许多人是盲人。?

　Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but

　you are getting smarter every year, my child."

　往后的年日里她又问了我几次，但她总是回答：?不对，可是孩子啊，你每年都有进步喔。?

　Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"

　去年我祖父去世，每个人都很伤心，大家都哭了。轮到我们向爷爷做最后的告别时，妈妈看着我，问我：?宝贝，你知道身体最重要的部位了吗?

　I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you he really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."

　她在这时候问我这个问题，令我吓了一大跳。我一直以为这只是我和她之间的游戏。她看我一脸迷惑的样子，对我说：?这问题很重要，它是你真正理解生活的标志。?我看她眼睛里充盈着泪水，她说：?宝贝，最重要的部位是你的肩膀。?

　I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?"

　我问：?是因为它能支撑脑袋吗?

　She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you he enough love and friends that you will he a shoulder to cry on when you need it."

　她回答说：?不，是因为让我们的朋友、我们所爱的人哭泣的时候，它可以给予依靠。宝贝，每个人在一生中都会有需要一个可以靠着哭泣的肩膀的时候。我只是希望当你需要时，会有足够的爱人和朋友，给你一个可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。?

　Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

　从那时起，我知道身体最重要的部位不是利己的部位，而是对别人的痛苦能感同身受的部位。

　劳拉成为美国新的First Lady

　小布什的总统就职仪式刚刚结束,布什夫人劳拉成为美国新的"First Lady" (第一夫人)。那么，"First Lady"的称呼是从何而来的呢?

　最早的"First Lady"的称谓是由"first lady of honor", "first lady of the Admiralty"演化而来，用来这些称呼指那些有影响力的杰出女性。1834年更出现了"first lady in (of) the land"的称呼。爱德华-布尔沃-里顿在1851年引用了这一说法，"She was so beautiful and so good, and not proud she! Though she looked like the first lady in the land."

　"First Lady"第一次被用来指总统夫人是1849年,托卡里-泰勒总统称赞多利-麦迪逊夫人时说道，"She will never be forgotten because she was truly our First Lady for a half-century." (希拉里-克林顿在她的1999年多利-麦迪逊夫人纪念银币发行仪式上的讲话中引用了这句话。)

　19世纪下半期，人们则很少用"First Lady"来指总统夫人，直到20世纪，"First Lady"才开始流行。1911年，埃尔西-费格森主演的名为"Dolly Madison" (又名"The First Lady of the Land")的戏剧在纽约上演。1941年普林德维尔出版"First Lady"一书。《牛津英语词典》引用了《芝加哥论坛》的"Mrs. Thomas E. Dewey discloses today what kind of first lady she will be."

　在过去的二十几年中，由"First Lady"又派生了一系列的与总统有关的人或物的特殊称呼。最早是在18年，卡特总统夫人的爱犬被冠以"first dog"("第一爱犬")的称呼。那么，我们将来是不是该称呼某为女总统的丈夫为"First Gentleman"("第一先生")呢?

一：Love Is Not Like Merchandise

A reader in Florida, arently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain, "If I steal a nickel's worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished; but if I steal the love of another's wife, I am free."

This is a prevalent misconception in many people's minds---that love, like merchandise, can be "stolen". Numerous states, in fact, he enacted laws allowing damages for "alienation of affections".

But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.

When a husband or wife is "stolen" by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The "love bandit" was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken.

We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children "belonging" to their parents. But nobody "belongs" to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their parents' trusteeship.

Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more ealing. At the time, we may he resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that "caused" the break, but the lack of a real relationship.

On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a "third party". This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.

Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has "come between" oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.

But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any "third party" has eared on the scene.

译文：爱情不是商品

佛罗里达州的一位读者显然是在个人经历上受过创伤, 他写信来抱怨道: “如果我偷走了五分钱的商品, 我就是个贼, 要受到惩罚, 但是如果我偷走了他子的爱情, 我没事儿。”

这是许多人心目中普遍存在的一种错误观念——爱情, 像商品一样, 可以 “偷走”。实际上，许多州都颁布法令，允许索取“情感转让”赔偿金。

但是爱情并不是商品；真情实意不可能买到，卖掉，交换，或者偷走。爱情是志愿的行动，是感情的转向，是个性发挥上的变化。

当丈夫或妻子被另一个人“偷走”时，那个丈夫或妻子就已经具备了被偷走的条件，事先已经准备接受新的伴侣了。这位“爱匪”不过是取走等人取走、盼人取走的东西。

我们往往待人如物。我们甚至说孩子“属于”父母。但是谁也不“属于”谁。人都属于自己和上帝。孩子是托付给父母的，如果父母不善待他们，州就有权取消父母对他们的托管身份。

我们多数人年轻时都有过恋人被某个更有诱惑力、更有吸引力的人夺去的经历。在当时，我们兴许怨恨这位不速之客---但是后来长大了，也就认识到了心上人本来就不属于我们。并不是不速之客“导致了”决裂，而是缺乏真实的关系。

从表面上看，许多婚姻似乎是因为有了“第三者”才破裂的。然而这是一种心理上的幻觉。另外那个女人，或者另外那个男人，无非是作为借口，用来解除早就不是完好无损的婚姻罢了。

因失恋而痛苦，因别人“插足”于自己与心上人之间而图报复，是最没有出息、最自作自受的乐。这种事总是歪曲了事实真相，因为谁都不是给别人当俘虏或牺牲品——人都是自由行事的，不论命运是好是坏，都由自己来作主。

但是，遭离弃的情人或配偶无法相信她的心上人是自由地背离他的——因而他归咎于插足者心术不正或迷人有招。他把他叫做催眠师、窃贼或破坏家庭的人。然而，从大多数事例看，一个家的破裂，是早在什么“第三者”出现之前就开始了的。

二：放慢你的脚步

A young and successful executive was treling down a neighborhood street，

going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out

from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw

something.

As his car passed， one child eared， and a brick smashed into the Jag's

side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where

the brick had been

thrown.

He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked

car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are

you doing?"Building up a head of steam， he went on"That's a new car and that

brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do

it?"

“Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!”pleaded

the youngster." It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out

of his wheelchair and I can't lift him

up.

Sog， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back

into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too hey for

me."

Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in

his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his

handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was

going to be

okay.

"Thank you， sir. And God bless you，" the grateful child said to him. The man

then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their

home.

It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long， slow walk. He never did

repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so

fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your

attention.

Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes,when you don't

he the time to listen,it's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or

wait for the brick!

Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy

leing them to wonder whether you really love

them?

译文：一位年轻的总裁，以有点快的车速，开着他的新车子经过住宅区的巷道。他必须小心游戏中的孩子突然跑到路中央，所以当他觉得小孩子快跑出来时，就要减慢车速。

就在他的车经过一群小朋友的时候，一个小朋友丢了一块砖头打到了他的车门，他很生气的踩了煞车并后退到砖头丢出来的地方。

他跳出车外，抓了那个小孩，把他顶在车门上说：“你为什么这样做，你知道你刚刚做了什么吗？”

接着又吼道：“你知不知道你要赔多少钱来修理这台新车，你到底为什么要这样做？”

小孩子求着说：“先生，对不起，我不知道我还能怎么办？”　他接着说：“因为我哥哥从轮椅上掉下来，我没办法把他抬回去。”

那男孩啜泣着说：“你可以帮我把他抬回去吗？他受伤了，而且他太重了我抱不动。”

这些话让这位年轻的总裁深受感动，他抱起男孩受伤的哥哥，帮他坐回轮椅上。并拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的伤口，以确定他哥哥没有什么大问题。

那个小男孩感激地说：“谢谢你，先生，上帝保佑你。” 然后他看着男孩推着他哥哥回去。

年轻总裁返回的路变的很漫长，他也没有修他汽车的侧门。他保留着车上的凹痕就是提醒自己。生活的道路不要走的太匆忙，否则需要其他人敲打自己来注意生活的真谛。

当生命想与你的心灵窃窃私语时，若你没有时间，你有两种选择：倾听你心灵的声音或让砖头来砸你！

请问你是否曾因为生活太快、太忙碌而忽略了你所爱的人，然后让他们开始开始怀疑起你是不是真的爱他们呢？

三：Facing the Sea With Spring Blossoms—HaiZi

From tomorrow on,I will be a hy man.

Grooming,chopping and treling all over the world.

From tomorrow on,I will care foodstuff and vegetable.

Living in a house towards the sea, with spring

blossoms.

From tomorrow on,write to each of my dear ones.

Telling them of my hiness.

What the lightening of hiness has told me.

I will spread it to each of them.

Give a warm name for every river and every mountain.

Strangers,I will also wish you hy.

May you he a brilliant future!

May you lovers eventually become spouses!

May you enjoy hiness in this earthly world!

I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.

译文：面朝大海，春暖花开—海子

从明天起，做一个幸福的人

喂马，劈柴，周游世界

从明天起，关心粮食和蔬菜

我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花开

从明天起，和每一个人通信

告诉他们我的幸福

那幸福的闪电告诉我的

我将告诉每一个人

给每一条河每一座山取一个温暖的名字

陌生人，我也为你祝福

愿你有一个灿烂的前程

愿有情人终成眷属

愿你们在尘世获得幸福

我只愿面朝大海，春暖花开

四：True Nobility

In a calm sea every man is a pilot.

But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the hiest - it is a tangled yarn.Bereements and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.

In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.

　

I he always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extragance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.

To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

译文： 真正的高贵

在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。

但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。

在生活和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。

我一向认为，内心生活开始更为严谨的人，他的外在生活也会变得更为简朴。在物欲横流的年代，但愿我能向世人表明：人类的真正需求少得多么可怜。

反思自己的过错不至于重蹈覆辙才是真正的悔悟。高人一等并没有什么值得夸耀的。真正的高贵是优于过去的自已。

五：行如其人

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?"

The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?"

Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00."

The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could he sed yourself three bucks. You could he told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't he known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but the kids would he known the difference."

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.

译文：

行如其人

这是奥克拉荷马城的一个晴朗的星期六下午。我的朋友巴比·路易斯，一位令人敬佩的父亲，带着他的两个小儿子去玩迷你高尔夫。他走向售票处，向售票员问道：“进去需要花多少钱？”

那个年轻人回答道：“你，3美元；6岁以上的儿童，3美元。6岁以下的儿童免费。他们多大了？”

巴比回答：“律师，3岁；医生，7岁。所以我想我应该付给你6美元。”

那个售票的说：“嘿，先生，你是刚赢了**还是怎么了？你本可以省下3美元的。你可以告诉我，最大的6岁。我根本看不出来。”巴比回答：“对，那可能行得通，但是这些孩子会知道这其中的差别。”

就像拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生说的那样：“你本身要比你所说的话重要。”在这个道德比以往任何时候都重要的年代里，你最好给和你一起你生活和工作的人树立一个良好的榜样。

200字英语美文摘抄欣赏

第一篇--

Wes of the life 生命的波纹

Sioux Indian story ...

My grandfather took me to the fish pond on the farm when I was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone.

"You may create lots of splashes in your life, but the wes that come from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said.

"Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles."

"You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both."

That was the first time I realized that each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, dou, or anger.

We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.

这是苏语系印第安人部落中流传的一个古老的故事……

在我七岁那年，我的祖父来到田边的一个池塘。他让我丢一颗石子到水中，并嘱咐我仔细观察石子所激起的水波纹。然后他叫我把自己想象成那颗石子。

他说：“在生命的水面上，你也许能激起许多波纹，而你所激起的波纹也会打破别人的平静，”

“要谨记，对你所激起的波纹中所包含的东西负责，因为这些东西会接触、影响到别人的波纹。”

“你应当努力使自己波纹中的平和宁静传播给他人。当然，如果你的波纹中携带有愤怒、嫉妒，别人也会受到你的影响，因此，你要对它们负责。”

这是我第一次了解到，每个人心中的平和抑或不和，都会传播给整个世界。如果我们自己内心都被冲突、仇恨、疑虑或者愤怒所纠缠，自然就不能给世界带来平和宁静。

无论我们是否说出心中的感觉和思绪，我们都在向外界传播它们。无论我们内心激起的是何种波纹，它们都会被传向他人，与别人的生命波纹共同激起美丽，抑或是不和谐。

第二篇

Wind of forgiveness 宽恕的风

The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend sled the other one in the face.

The one who got sled felt hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend sled me in the face."

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been sled got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend sed him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend sed my life."

The friend who had sled and sed his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"

The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engre it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

两个朋友结伴穿越沙漠，旅途中二人突然吵了起来，其中一个掴了对方一记耳光。被打的人感到自己受了伤害，但什么也没有说，只是在沙地上写下了这样一句话：“今天我最好的朋友掴了我耳光。他们继续前行，看见到处绿洲，他们正打算在那里洗澡时，刚才被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭，开始深陷，他的朋友救了他。

等他从几近淹死的边缘苏醒过来后，他在石头上刻下：“今天我最好的朋友救了我的命。”他的朋友问：“为什么我伤你之后，你在沙子上写字，现在却把字刻在石头上？” 他回答道：“当有人伤害了我们，我们应该把它写进沙里，宽恕的风会把仇恨抹去。而当有人为我们做了好事，我们应当把它刻在石头上，没有风可以将它抹去。”

第三篇

Lake Of Autumn

I remember quite clearly now when the story hened. The autumn lees were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be hy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been longing to lee me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said: “Our story is ending.”

The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.

我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的故事已到尽头。

雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，生命正离我而去。

第四篇

Love is a two-way street爱是一条双行道

A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced,

“Dad, because this is your birthday and you’re 55 years old, I’m going to give you 55 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started making good on his word, the father exclaimed, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now; I’m too busy!”

The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes. Apologically the father said, “You can finish later.”

The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disointment written over his face. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t respond.

Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was drowned. His heartbroken father wrote...

“If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words, and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is aching.”

…Love is a two-way street. Any loving act must be warmly accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can lee a scar. If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us. Because... there may be no chance at all as in the case of the little boy...

父亲坐在办公桌旁，正盯着那些堆积了一个月来的账单，这时，他的小儿子冲了过来，大声宣布：

“爸爸，因为今天是你五十五岁的生日， 我想给你五十五个吻，一年一个！”当男孩正要兑现诺言时，他爸爸大声说道：“哦，安德鲁，现在不行，我太忙了！”

小男孩马上不吭声了，蓝色的大眼睛里涌满了泪水。父亲深表歉意地说：“过会有空再亲吧。”

男孩什么也没说，只是静静地走开了，失望的表情溢于言表。那天晚上，父亲说：“来吧安德鲁，现在可以亲了！”但是，孩子却没有做出回应。

不幸的是，这件事刚过去几天之后，小男孩就不幸溺水身亡。伤心欲绝的爸爸写道：

“如果我早告诉他，对于那些无心的话我是多么后悔，他一定会明白我的心有多么痛。”

爱，是一条双行道。对于爱的表示一定要热心地接受，否则对方会以为你拒绝了，从而留下一道伤痕。如果我们忙得连给予和接受爱的时间都没有，那未免也忙得太过分了！对于那些在我们身边，对我们弥足珍贵的人，用爱去回应他们爱的渴望，这最重要不过了！因为……如果发生像小男孩这样的情况，即使后悔也没有机会了。

第五篇

The Real Meaning of Peace宁静的真谛（没有翻译啊）

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest — in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?

“Because,” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”

　"I worked as a bartender/waitress at a bar inside an upscale health-food grocery store (it's a real thing, I promise). Most of our clientele was well-off retirees and 30-something recently divorced men hoping to get a date with someone coming in after a yoga class. Generally a nice group of customers, but definitely rich, uptight people. Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense, but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium intake. It was a difficult balancing act.

　?我曾在一家高档健康食品杂货店里面担任酒吧的酒保兼服务生(真的是健康食品，我保证)。我们的大多数客户是富裕的退休人员和30岁刚离婚并希望与一个刚上完瑜伽课的女人约会的男人。基本上都是些很友善的顾客，不过都真的有钱，而且要求比较高。忘记给他们送上盐可能会引起他们的强烈反感，但拿了盐的话他们又会给你上一门有关钠摄入量的课。这个动作的轻重真的很难拿捏。?

　"It was St. Patrick's Day. There was also a March Madness game with the local university team playing and we were short-staffed. Needless to say, it was an insane evening with me rushing around serving corned beef and cabbage, pouring Guinness, and making sure no one was becoming belligerent.

　?那天是圣帕特里克节，当时正在进行?疯狂三月?的比赛，当地大学的校队有参加，我们人手不够。不用说，这是一个疯狂的夜晚，我不断奔波着为客户提供腌牛肉和卷心菜，以及吉尼斯黑啤酒，并确保没有人要斗殴。?

　"For some reason, the bar supervisor always liked to he food specials on display for people to see. While I get the concept, it generally just caused us to get mean looks when we told people they probably shouldn't eat it, as it wasn't a sample and had been sitting out for hours. Since it was St. Patrick's Day, we had a giant display of the corned beef and cabbage dinner special, complete with gry, potatoes, and Irish beer bread.

　?由于某些原因，酒吧主管总是喜欢把特荐美食陈列出来给人看。虽然我懂这是为什么，但这对于我们(服务人员)来说真的很麻烦，总是让我们糟人冷眼，因为我们必须告诉顾客这些不是试吃品，而且它们已经被放在这里几小时了。由于当时是圣帕特里克节，我们摆出了大量的腌牛肉配卷心菜特餐，并且还配有肉汁、土豆和爱尔兰啤酒面包。

　"As the night was beginning to slow down, I had an older couple sit at the only open seats -- adjacent to our food displays. I was clearing tables and leaned over to let them know I'd be right with them, and a plate slid off the mountain of dishes I was carrying, plopping right into the food display. The 12-hour-old gry and potatoes somehow still had some fluidity to them, and flew up, then dropped? right into the man's lap.

　?随着当晚的高峰期开始结束，我让一对老夫妇坐在仅剩的空位上----与我们摆出的食物相邻。当时我正在清理桌子，但身体也向们倾斜好让他们知道我马上会去他们那里，就在这时，手里堆在最上面的一个盘子滑落了，正好砸向了陈列出的食物。那保存了十二小时的肉汁和马铃薯不知怎么居然还没凝固，溅了起来，而后又掉落，不偏不倚落到了男人的膝盖上。

　"I was horrified and apologizing profusely while trying to set down the mountain of dishes. The man looked up and me and said, 'I just he one thing to tell you.' He slowly leaned in -- at which point I was thinking he was about to spit in my face -- and he said, 'I don't he to fart anymore, you scared it out of me.'

　?我顿时感到了惊骇，一边放下手里堆积如山的盘子一边不停地道歉。那个男人抬头看了我说道，?我只想告诉你一件事。?他慢慢将身体倾斜------当我以为他要向我脸上吐唾沫时------然后他说，?我终于不用再放屁了，你已经把它吓出来了。?

　"It was the laugh I needed that night, and he wouldn't even let me give him a free beer as an apology." -- Belinda Farragut

　?于是我开怀大笑了起来，而这正是我当晚需要的，他甚至不要我给他免费的啤酒作为道歉。?------Belinda Farragut

必读的简单英文美文篇一

　Dad

　"It's never too late to he a hy childhood," some bumper-sticker author said. I think it is never too late to need Dad.

　When we're little, Daddy is in charge of the world, as we know it. Yes, I know we he a President, some countries he kings or prime ministers, and there's always God, but they are really not in charge of the world.

　Dad knows everything, he can do anything, he is always right, he can always fix things. He's almost like God.

　"Hey, Daddy! Where is Helsinki?" My father always replied, "If you put things away where they belong, you would know where they are." "Hey, Daddy! I really need to know about Helsinki." "OK; let's get the encyclopedia."

　"Hey, Dad! Can I use the car for a date tonight?" "Yeah. Be home before midnight." Arriving home at 2:30 a.m., Dad was up waiting. We don't understand about love and anger when we're kids. Dads yell and shout, and we don't realize it is because they care; we think it is because they he to be tough. Not this time. He said, "Thank God you're safe. Go to bed; we'll talk about this in the morning."

　"Hey, Dad! I got into trouble at school today. I didn't really do anything wrong. That stupid teacher won't listen to me." "I'll listen. What hened?....Is that really what hened?" Next day, Dad is at my school, talking with my teacher, fixing the misunderstanding. He has such power! I can always count on Dad.

　When Daddy starts to get old (about the same time as I am 13 years old), he gets really stupid, but he is still in charge of the world. "Hey, Daddy! What's this with boys? Do you know why they are so weird? Were you like this when you were a boy?" Dad pontificates for awhile on the nature of the -age human animal and I sort of get the hint that even though he is old (35), he knows about both boys and girls. Some dads even know about such matters as safe and child support.

　Regardless of what they know (or don't know), they mostly care, and can be counted on to be on your side. When you're a kid, Dads are good for playing basketball in the driveway;Daddies are good audiences for dance recitals.

　If we get our foot caught in a bear trap, Dad will free the foot, bind it, and take us to the doctor. Dad doesn't panic; he, being Dad, just automatically knows what to do, and does it.He buries our non-human family members; he fixes the things we break. The small things Dad does for us make us feel valuable and important.

　Daddy lectures and pontificates; he is the ultimate authority on everything. He is so totally boring - I hope he doesn't act like such a jerk in front of my friends. If he talks too much, they also will know how stupid he is. Of course, even though he is (during some periods of my life) an utterly stupid nerd, he is not fair game for criticism from others. He is still the best dad there is...

　"Hey, Dad! How are you going to vote?" "Not me. I think he's a crook." So argument ensues...Dad is still stupid, but getting a little smarter, and we can listen to him without acknowledging his wisdom.

　"Hey, Daddy! Wanna hold the baby for awhile?" Daddy assures his "princess" that her baby is truly a marvel, and "Princess" feels warm and reassured.

　"Hey,Dad!Do you he fifty bucks I could borrow?"He does.Even if he doesn't,he will find it or go without something so he will he it.Then he feels embarrassed when we pay him back,and he says,"Naw;you don't he to pay it,"but we do because it is important to do the right thing. Dad taught us that.

　Whether Dad is a brain surgeon or a gandy dancer, Dad is always there for us. The back-up unit in case of temporary failure. Even when Dad is 80 and maybe forgets sometimes or maybe has little "accidents," he is still in charge of my world. Even when Daddy needs for us to take care of him, he is still Daddy who knows all and who can do everything.

　Whether Dad is a rocket scientist or a janitor, he sweat bullets to take care of us, to teach us what is right, and to make sure we had some fun. Dad taught us the true meaning of respect and how to earn it. No matter what career choice we make, Dad will be proud of us. He will do his best to make sure we he the education and/or training we need in order to be able to take care of ourselves and our burgeoning families.

　Eventually, Dad goes on, as all living creatures do. It is a loss that is unutterably cruel. It is frightening to envision life without Dad. Even Dads need Dads. The fact that one is 50 or so years old does nothing to diminish the need for Dad.

　We can recall sitting in the bleachers at the ball game with Dad - a bonding thing that gruffly says "I love you." Upon achieving majority, we could even he a beer with Dad. We can recall being walloped by Dad and know that it was an act of love. We cherish the time spent with Dad while he taught us the necessary maintenance tasks associated with car ownership. We still capture the feeling that came over us when we saw Dad's face out there in the audience, and he was proud, and he and Mom knew they had created something very special when they made us.

　Dad presides over all festive events. "How is today different from other days?" Of course he knows, and knows how to explain; it is he who takes charge and knows how to do everything;he is the leader, and he is in charge of our world. The Captain of the ocean sea.

　Father's Day is kind of an embarrassment to Dad - he is accustomed to being the provider;not the recipient. We honor Dad for being in charge of the world, but Dad somehow is a bit diffident about being the honoree on Father's Day.

　Dads don't really lee us when they go.Their spirits inhabit our psyche, and stay with us always.Fortunately,the parting is usually gradual, and sometimes, as when they need our care,we he an opportunity to show our gratitude and our love directly to him.Being aware that it will hen"some day"does not really anesthetize us against the actuality of the event.Emotions cannot be intellectualized, and pain is pain. It is okay to feel pain - to hurt. It is okay to heal, which we always do. It is also okay to become the Dad who knows everything, can do everything, and who is in charge of the world.

　The Coffee Place

　咖啡厅

　I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom he I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era of the so called Generation X.

　我曾经一度认为礼节是过去才为人崇尚的事。在如今这个被称作?被遗忘的一代?的现代社会中，我已经很难碰到一个能被称作是?绅士?的人。

　Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a hening coffee place, with two of my grown up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a steep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were at the steep descent down the stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.

　最近，在我遇到这样一个人后，我的想法改变了。我和两个已成年的女儿一起去了一家咖啡厅。但这家咖啡厅挤满了吵闹的人群，所以我们不得不爬上陡峭的楼梯才找到了空桌。在享用过咖啡和点心之后，我们走在陡峭的楼梯上准备下楼，在那样狭窄的空间里只能供一个人上下楼，几乎没有任何空间可以让另一个人爬上去或下来。

　Just as I was in the middle of my descent, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry. I kept coming down as fast as I could, holding on to the bannister, in lieu of my advanced years. My agile daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.

　当我下楼梯走到一半时，一个绅士从咖啡厅的正门，也是楼梯的右前方走了进来。我敢肯定我会被这个着急上楼的人粗暴地推开。于是我抓住了扶手，并用我有史以来最快的速度下楼。我那两个动作敏捷的女儿已经下楼了，她们忧心忡忡地抬头看着我，希望我能够在这个陌生人上楼前下来，因为她们知道我是一个容易神经紧张的人。

　Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.

　在快走到楼下时，我注意到那个人仍然站在门口。我走到我的女儿身边，经过那个站在门口的陌生人身旁时发现他用手抵住了门。我回头看了看，以为他还在门口，决定着是否要进去光顾或是找另一家人少的店。但我看见他以一步两阶楼梯的速度上了楼。我把我看到的告诉了女儿们，我们三个人都因为那位彬彬有礼的绅士在上楼前拉住了门让我们先行，但我们因没有感谢他而深感愧疚。

　We lauded his chivalry for both, waiting for us to come down before going up himself and also holding the main entrance door open for us to go out. Such well mannered people are hard to find these days, when shoving, jostling and pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. Till date, I remember this gentleman and pray to God to make more human beings like him.

　那位绅士在上楼前等待我们先下楼，并且为我们拉开门以方便我们出去，我们都为他这样的骑士精神赞不绝口。在当今推搡冲撞现象横行、先进却激进的社会中，这样有礼貌的人着实难寻。直到今天，我仍记得这位先生，祈求上帝能让更多的人和他一样以礼待人。
