英文美文朗诵两篇
朗读是学生学习英语的一种有效的方法;是提高听、说、读、写综合能力的一种行为，下面是英文美文朗诵两篇。
•第一篇：Youth 青春
Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
译文：
青春
青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 、
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
•第二篇： Three Days to See(Excerpts)假如给我三天光明(节选)
Three Days to See
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.
The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
译文：
假如给我三天光明(节选)
我们都读过震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只能再活一段很有限的时光，有时长达一年，有时却短至一日。但我们总是想要知道，注定要离世人的会选择如何度过自己最后的时光。当然，我说的是那些有选择权利的.自由人，而不是那些活动范围受到严格限定的死囚。
这样的故事让我们思考，在类似的处境下，我们该做些什么?作为终有一死的人，在临终前的几个小时内我们应该做什么事，经历些什么或做哪些联想?回忆往昔，什么使我们开心快乐?什么又使我们悔恨不已?
有时我想，把每天都当作生命中的最后一天来边，也不失为一个极好的生活法则。这种态度会使人格外重视生命的价值。我们每天都应该以优雅的姿态，充沛的精力，抱着感恩之心来生活。但当时间以无休止的日，月和年在我们面前流逝时，我们却常常没有了这种子感觉。当然，也有人奉行“吃，喝，享受”的享乐主义信条，但绝大多数人还是会受到即将到来的死亡的惩罚。
在故事中，将死的主人公通常都在最后一刻因突降的幸运而获救，但他的价值观通常都会改变，他变得更加理解生命的意义及其永恒的精神价值。我们常常注意到，那些生活在或曾经生活在死亡阴影下的人无论做什么都会感到幸福。
然而，我们中的大多数人都把生命看成是理所当然的。我们知道有一天我们必将面对死亡，但总认为那一天还在遥远的将来。当我们身强体健之时，死亡简直不可想象，我们很少考虑到它。日子多得好像没有尽头。因此我们一味忙于琐事，几乎意识不到我们对待生活的冷漠态度。
我担心同样的冷漠也存在于我们对自己官能和意识的运用上。只有聋子才理解听力的重要，只有盲人才明白视觉的可贵，这尤其适用于那些成年后才失去视力或听力之苦的人很少充分利用这些宝贵的能力。他们的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受着周围的景物与声音，心不在焉，也无所感激。这正好我们只有在失去后才懂得珍惜一样，我们只有在生病后才意识到健康的可贵。
我经常想，如果每个人在年轻的时候都有几天失时失聪，也不失为一件幸事。黑暗将使他更加感激光明，寂静将告诉他声音的美妙。

英语诗歌 因其节奏、思想意义及艺术价值,在英语教学中占有一席之地。下面是我带来的经典英语诗歌朗诵，欢迎阅读!经典英语诗歌朗诵篇一 我的父亲是我的英雄 My father was my hero, all throughout my life. The father of eight children, he saw his share of strife. When I was very little, he appeared to be so large. In my eyes he could do anything, we all knew he was in charge. He was a man of great strength both physically and in mind, but in him there was a gentleness, he found ways to be outgoing and kind. Many days of childhood were greeted with a kiss, and songs to me as I awoke, those days I surely miss. He made me feel so special, “Miss America” he would sing. I knew I had my father's love. It gave me courage to do most anything. From him I learned to stand up tall, to be proud of who I am. Strength and determination were the qualities of this fine man. As the years of his life dwindled down5, that strength kept him alive. Plus the unfailing determination to help my ailing6 mother have the care she needed to survive. He loved her and his children, so much he gave up years of his life caring for this woman, his soul?mate, his wife. Day and night he struggled for years with her disease. A lesser man would have been brought down to his knees7. With illnesses of his own, he still stood by her side caring for her and loving her until the day she died. Twenty days later his own time was at an end. I lost my hero, my father, a man who was my friend. A few years have passed, and life just isn't the same. But as Father's Day approaches, I will celebrate8 his name. With prayers to him and God above to stay by my side, to watch over me and guide me, to look down on me with pride. For I am my father's daughter, one day we will meet again. But until then I will remember, and the love will never end. 我父亲是我的英雄，在我一生从未改变。 身为八个孩子的父亲，他清楚自己重任在肩。 当我还是小不点，他显得是如此高大。 在我眼中他无所不能，我们知道是他当家。 他的身心都蕴藏着无穷的力量， 但他也温柔，能让人感到他友善直爽。 儿时的许多早晨，我都是被他的亲吻和歌声唤醒， 那些日子令我怀念万分。 他让我感觉如此特殊，“美国小姐”他轻声吟唱。 我知道我拥有父亲的爱。这爱给我勇气去做，去闯。 从他那里我学会昂首挺胸，为自己骄傲。 力量和决心将这位优秀的男人打造。 虽然日渐衰老，但他的力量使他活力依然。 还有他坚定的决心，要让我体弱多病的母亲得到她需要的关爱继续留在人寰。 他爱她，他爱孩子，于是他把生命中的许多春秋 投入照顾这位女人，他的妻子，他心心相印的伴侣。 多少年的日日夜夜他奋力抗争，为了她的疾病。 换个不太坚强的男人恐怕早已认命。 虽然他有自己的病痛，但他一直守在她的身边， 关照她，爱她，直到她永远合上了眼。 二十天后他的生命也走到尽头。 我失去了我的英雄，我的父亲，我的朋友。 几年过去了，生活已是另一番风景。 但随着 父亲节 的来临，我要颂扬他的美名。 祈祷他和在天的上帝能陪伴我， 看护我，引导我，自豪地俯视我。 因为我是我父亲的女儿，总有一天我们会重逢。 但在此以前我会怀念他，会永远爱他。 经典英语诗歌朗诵篇二 My last will 我的遗嘱 ---Joe Hill my will is easy to decide, 我的遗嘱容易确定 For there is nothing to divide. 因为我并无财产分给所爱 My kin don’t need to fuss and moan— 亲人不必抱怨，悲哀--- “Moss does not cling to rolling stone.” “滚石不生苔，我也不聚财” My body? Oh, if I could choose, 遗体怎么办?---哦，如果还有商量 To ashes I’d let it reduce, 我愿它化为一撮灰烬 And let the merry breeze blow 让欢快的柔风把它轻扬 My dust to where some flowers grow. 吹到鲜花盛开的地方 Perhaps some fading flowers then 也许有些正在凋谢的花儿 Would come to life and bloom again. 会因此复活，重新怒放 This is my last and final will, 这便是我最后的遗愿 Good luck to all of you! 祝你们所有的人幸福安康! 经典英语诗歌朗诵篇三 What makes a man? ---Hamlin Garland Do you fear the force of the wind 你可害怕寒风凛冽, The slash of the rain? 你可畏惧大雨滂沱 Go face them and fight them, 去迎着风雨努力拼搏 Be savage again .还你原始本色 Go hungry and cold like the wolf 象狼一样去经受饥寒 Go wade like the crane. 象鹤一般去跋涉河川 The palms of your hands will thicken, 你的手掌变得厚实粗壮 The skin of your cheeks will tan 你的脸庞晒得古铜发亮 You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,你会变得衣衫褴褛，皮肤黝黑，疲惫不堪， But you will walk like a man! 但你步履沉稳，是个堂堂男子汉!
