朗诵是将静态的文学作品转化为有声语言的再创造的一种语言表演艺术。我整理了关于3分钟英语朗诵短文，欢迎阅读!
A woman named Emily renewing her driver's license atthe County Clerk's office was asked by the womanrecorder to state her occupation. She hesitated,uncertain how to classify herself. "What I mean is,"explained the recorder, "do you have a job, or are youjust a ... "一位名叫埃米莉的妇女在县办事处给驾驶执照续期时，一名女记录员问及她的职业。她犹豫了一下，不敢肯定应如何将自己归类。“我意思是说你有没有工作，”那名记录员解释说，“还是说你只不过是一名……”
"Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a mother."“我当然有工作，”埃米莉马上回答，“我是一名母亲。”
"We don't list 'mother' as an occupation ... 'Housewife'covers it," said the recorder emphatically.“我们这里不把‘母亲’看成是一个职业……‘家庭主妇’就可以了。”那名记录员断然回答。
I forgot all about her story until one day I found myselfin the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall.The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised,efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like, "Official Interrogator" or "Town Registrar." "What is youroccupation?" she probed.这个故事听后，我就忘了。直到有一天在市政厅，我也遇到了同样的情况。很显然，那名办事员是位职业女性，自信、有能力，并有着一个类似“官方讯问员”或“镇登记员”之类很堂皇的头衔。“你的职业?”她问道。
What made me say it, I do not know ... The words simplypopped out. "I'm a Research Associate in the field ofChild Development and Human Relations."至今我也不知道，当时是什么因素作怪，我脱口而出：“我是儿童发育和人类关系研究员。”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair, andlooked up as though she had not heard right.那名办事员愣住了，拿着原珠笔的手也不动了。她抬头看着我，好像没有听清楚我说什么似的。
I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the mostsignificant words. Then I stared with wonder as mypronouncement was written in bold, black ink on theofficial questionnaire.我慢慢地把我的职业再重复一遍，在说到重要的词时还加重语气。然后，我惊奇地看着我的话被粗黑的笔记录在官方的问卷上。
"Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just whatyou do in your field?"“我能不能问一下，”这名办事员好奇地问，“你在这个领域具体做什么?”
Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heardmyself reply, "I have a continuing program of research, (what mother doesn't), in the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have said indoors and out). I'm workingfor my Masters, (the whole darned family), and alreadyhave four credits, (all daughters). Of course, the job isone of the most demanding in the humanities, (anymother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours aday, (24 is more like it). But the job is more challengingthan most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards aremore of a satisfaction rather than just money."我非常镇定地答道：“我有一个不间断的研究项目(哪位母亲不是这样呢?)，工作地点包括实验室和现场(通常我会说室内和户外)。我在为我的学位努力(就是我们一家人)，而且已经有了四个学分(全部是女儿)。当然，我的工作是人类要求最高的工作之一(有哪位母亲会反对吗?)我通常工作一天14小时(24小时更为准确)。但这项工作比大部分普通工作都具有挑战性，而它通常带来的回报不是金钱，更多的是满足感。”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk'svoice as she completed the form, stood up, andpersonally ushered me to the door.那名办事员在填完表格后，站起来，亲自把我送到门口。在这个过程中，她说话时流露出一股敬意。
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by myglamorous new career, I was greeted by my labassistants - ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear ournew experimental model, (a 6 month old baby), in thechild-development program, testing out a new vocalpattern.我回到家，把车停在家门前的车道时，还对自己响亮的头衔觉得飘飘然。我那三名年龄分别为13岁、7岁、3岁的实验室助手正在等着我，从楼上传来我们的新实验模特儿(六个月大的婴儿)的声音，她正放开嗓门，测试着新的声音模式。
I felt triumphant! I had scored a beat on bureaucracy!And I had gone on the official records as someone moredistinguished and indispensable to mankind than"just another mother."我感到欢欣鼓舞!我竟然打败了官僚机构!如今，在官方的纪录上，我成了人类超群出众、不可或缺的人物，而不仅仅是一位母亲。
Motherhood ... What a glorious career! Especially whenthere's a title on the door.母亲……这是多么光荣的职业啊!特别是现在这已经成为官方记录了。
Does this make grandmothers "Senior ResearchAssociates in the field of Child Development and HumanRelations" and great grandmothers "Executive SeniorResearch Associates"? I think so!!!这是不是说奶奶和姥姥就是“资深儿童发育和人类关系研究员”，而曾祖母则是“高级研究员”呢?我想是这样的!
I also think it makes Aunts "Associate ResearchAssistants".我想，小姨子也因此成了“研究员助理”。

What is most important is dealing with the hard times,coping with the changes, and getting through to theother side where the sun is still shining just for you.最重要的是要挺过艰难的时刻，积极应对种种变故，冲破黎明前的黑暗，你终会看到只属于自己的灿烂阳光。

他会让你相信人间有真情。
他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。
这就是永远的友谊。
当你失意，
当世界变得黯淡与空虚，
你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。
你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。
你转身走开时，
真正的朋友会紧紧相随。
你迷失方向时，
真正的朋友会引导你，鼓励你。
真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。
如果你找到了这样的朋友，
你会快乐，觉得人生完整，
因为你无需要再忧虑。
你拥有了一个真正的朋友，
永永远远，永无止境。

6. There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done lot. Laws have been used to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources. Although governments are playing important parts in the environmental protection today, I think much more should be done.In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more other measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the one-child policy into practice, because more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment should be punished. We should let people know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.7. Today we are having a party to honour our friend Tom, who is returning to his own country with his parents.Tom came to our school three years ago and has been studying in our class ever since. During this period, we have helped each other and have become good friends. Because of his presence, many students are more interested in English and they have made great progress in it.We all hope that when he returns to his own homeland, he will keep in touch with us. We all hope that he will come to China again some day. Good luck, Tom. And good luck to your family. May you have happy memories of your time in our class and in our school.8.

It takes us only an hour to do sports, so we hardly have any time to watch TV.We feel tired because of the pressure of examinations and the high expectations from the parents.I write this letter only to wish that you could have the teachers give us less homework so that we could have enough time to do what we want. In my opinion, the result of the examinations is not so important to us. We teenagers are eager to play and enjoy ourselves.I’m looking forward to your good news. Yours truly, Li Hua11.The English DepartmentWuhan UniversityHubeiJune 20, 2003Dear sirs,I have just read in the newspaper that a secretary of the English language is wanted in your company. I am therefore writing to you to introduce myself. I’d like to get the job.I am a girl college student of 22 years old. My name is Li Hua, and I am studying in the English Department of Wuhan University. I can speak, read and write English well. As a second foreign language, I can read and speak a little German. I can operate the computer quite well. I have some working experience as a typist during my spare time at school, and as a tourist guide during summer holidays. The bosses I worked for were all satisfied with my work. I am sure I’ll satisfy you as well.You can get more information about my study and work from my college. I can visit your office at any time for a talk or test.With best wishes. Faithfully, Li Ping12.August 5, 2002 , Friday FineThis afternoon there will be on TV an exciting football match between China and Brazil. We, the football fans in our class, have been looking forward to watching it. We talked about the match a lot during the break. We were so excited that I was still thinking about it in class. My English teacher noticed that and asked me to listen to class attentively. Yes , I was really wrong. As a middle school student we should study hard. Work must come first. I won’t do that again.13.April 14th, 2003, Sunday RainyToday I took part in the work for the “ Anti-SARS”. I was working in Wang Fujing Street for eight hours in the rain. My job was to explain how to keep ourselves from being infected and hand out some medicine to the passers-by.The job was trifling but very important.I feel very proud of being a volunteer at this very time and decide to be an excellent doctor in the future. 14.Not far from the west of Qingdao, there stands a small village. That’s my native village place. It has an area of 53 square kilometers. A small brook runs through the village. On the banks of the brook grow a lot of green trees which have big branches and beautiful leaves. If you stand under them, you can’t see the sky. Several small pools are dotted among the village with all kinds of fishes swimming in them. At a little distance from the north, there rises a hill covered with wonderful trees and green grass in the fields and it looks like a beautiful garden.My native village has a population of more than one thousand. 80% of them are peasants, all of whom are busy with their work in the field during spring, summer, and autumn. They often watch TV, go to cinema, and play in the club. People in my village lead a happy life.15.The Teacher-student RelationshipThe relationship between a teacher and students can be good or bad, helpful or harmful. Either way, the relationship can affect for the rest of his life. A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and interesting for the student and will make the teacher’s job worthwhile. A bad relationship can discourage the student from learning and make teaching an unpleasant task.The teacher should encourage the student so that he wants to learn. He needs patience and understanding. He must encourage the student without pushing or forcing him. Learning can be fun when the student has the right attitude about it. It is part of the teacher’s job to help develop a good positive attitude in his students.16.Why Do We Go To Universities?Why do we go to universities? Different people have different points of views.Some students may have many colorful dreams and regard universities as the most ideal places. They think that good jobs and higher pays will certainly result from a college education. In fact, the university life often makes them feel disappointed, and after graduation many of them will find the jobs aren’t the ones they like and the pays are not higher than they expected.I think that a university provides good chances for those who are eager to learn more knowledge so that they can serve their motherland better in the future. This is why universities have a strong attention.
