幸福爱情的英文文章1
持续了60年的 爱情 故事
It was a freezing day, a few years ago, when I stumbled on’a wallet in the street. There was no identification inside. Just three dollars, and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been carried around for years.
几年前的一个寒冷的日子,我在路上拣到了一个钱包里面没有任何身份证明,只有3美元和张揉皱的信,看起来好像有好几个年头了.
The only thing legible on the torn envelope was the return address. 1 opened the letter and saw that it had been written in 1944一almost 60 years ago. I read it carefully, hoping to find some clue to the identity of the wallet's owner.
惟能够辨认的是那破旧信封上的回信地址打开后,我发现该信写于1944年,已过去大约60年了我仔细读了一遍,希望能够找到一些有关钱包主人的线索.
It was a "Dear John" letter. The writer, in a delicate script, told the recipient, whose name was Michael, that her mother forbade her to see him again. Nevertheless, she would always love him. It was signed Hannah.
这是一封绝交信_写信人字迹娟秀,告诉一个叫迈克尔的收信人,她的母亲禁止她再和他见面但是,她将永远爱他署名是汉娜
It was a beautiful letter. But there was no way, beyond the name Michael, to identify the owner. Perhaps if I called information the operator could find the phone
number for the address shown on the envelope.
这封信写得非常优美,但除了迈克尔这个名字之外,里面没有任何表明失主身份的东西也许如果我询问咨询处,接线员能够找到信封上地址的电话号码
"Operator, this is an unusual request. I'm trying to find the owner of a wallet I found. Is there any way you could tell me the phone number for an address that was on a letter in the wallet?"
“接线员您好,我有一个不情之请我检到了一个钱包,希望能找到失主钱包里有一封信,上面有地址您能否帮我找到这个地址所对应的电话码?”
The operator gave me her supervisor, who said there was a phone listed at the address, but that she could not give me the number. However, she would call and explain the situation. Then, if the party wanted to talk, she would connect me. I waited a minute and she came back on the line. "I have a woman who will speak with you.
接线员把电话转给主管主管说虽然找到了这个地址的电话号码,但是她不能把号码给我,不过她可以替我打电话解释一下情况如果对方同意谈话,她将和我联系几分钟后,她回到电话旁告诉我:“有位女士要和你谈话。”
I asked the woman if she knew a Hannah.
我问那位女士是否认识汉娜。
"Oh, of course! We bought this house from Hannah's family thirty years ago."
“当然了,我们在30年前从汉娜手里买的这幢房子。”
"Would you know where they could be located now?" I asked.
我问道:“那您知道她们现在住哪儿吗?”
"Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home years ago. Maybe the home could help you track down the daughter."
“几年前,汉娜把她母亲送到了养老院。也许你可以在那里得到些帮助,找到汉娜。”
The woman gave me the name of the nursing home. I called and found out that Hannah's mother had died. The woman I spoke with gave me an address where she thought Hannah could be reached.
这位女士给了我养老院的名字。我打过去电话,解到汉娜的母亲已经去世。接电话的女士又给了我一个地址,她说汉娜可能会在那里。

Early that morning at about 5:45, Anna awoke to the sound of a tapping on her window. When she opened the window, to her surprise Peter was standing there with a
picnic basket and a blanket. Peter told Anna that since it was his last day at the beach this summer that he wanted to spend the entire day with her. from the time of the sunrise to after the sunset on the horizon. After they watched the sunrise early that and ate their romantic picnic breakfast. they一sat on the swing at the nearby park.They talked for hours on end, telling each other how they would keep in touch until they could be together the following summer.

It was already starting to get dark on the beach. So then, Anna and Peter dried off and found a pretty spot at the top of a hill they had often gone to talk throughout the summer. They set out their blankets and laid in each other's arm until all of sudder it began to pour. Most people would have thought that the rain would put a damper on their prfect day, but Anna still remembers the strike of excitement it sent through her, as the drops poured down.The way Peter had taken her by the hand and led her down the side of muddy hill to the beach sent chills up her spine.They began to dance right there on the sand, in th a pouring rain. As they danced. in each other strong embrace.Anna could still remember Peter's exact words. He said to her.‘f love you Anna and f want to be with you and only you for the rest of my life’At that very moment. Anna knew that she felt exactly the same and that they would be together for the rest of their lives.
海滩开始呈现夜色,安娜和皮特待衣服风干后,在整个夏天他们聊天常去的小山顶上找到了一处好位置,摊开毯子,彼此依偎,直到突然下起倾盆大雨.大多数人也许会觉得这场雨给他俩完美的一天带来些许遗憾,而安娜却仍然记得当雨点倾泻而至时自己体会到的兴奋皮特牵着她的手,带着她走下泥泞的山坡,一直走到海滩上的情形令她心动神摇倾盆大雨中,他们开始在沙滩上跳舞,他们跳着、紧紧地拥抱着对方,“我爱你,安娜,我希望能和你共度此生,也只想和你共度此生”,这些话,安娜仍然清楚地记得.在那一刻,她知道,她的想法和皮特一样,他们将共度余生.

Thinking back through the 69 wonderful years that they had together, that one day is the one that stands out most in her mind Although she had many more memories that are unforgettable with Peter, she still thinks back to the way he looked that night. The way his wet dark hair fell over his sapphire blue eyes still put butterflies in Anna's stomach’!In addition, the way that his strong body made her feel so safe as they danced in the rain, like ht would never let her go.

一篇浪漫的散文 A Romantic Essay
I am the wind, the gentle wind; I am the clouds, the slow, drifting clouds; I am the water, the silent water; I am the mountains, the boundless mountains…
我是风,轻轻的风;我是云,缓缓的云;我是水,静静的水;我是山,连绵的山……
If you so want, I will be the gentle wind that will wrap around your lonely spirit! If you so desire, I will be the slow, drifting clouds that will unquestioningly be your support! If you so wish, I will be that silent water, without a murmur, protecting you by your side. If you so will, I will love you unrelentingly, just like those boundless, unbroken mountain ranges and valleys! But, I regret I am not the wind and not able to take care of you. I hate that I am not the clouds and not able to bring you warmth; I pity myself that I am not the water and not able to be so pure; I am angry that I am not the mountains and not able to have my love will be as immovable as I would like.
如果你愿意,我愿做那轻轻的风抚慰着你寂寞的心灵!如果你愿意,我就是那缓缓的云从容地让你依偎!如果你愿意,我来做你身边静静的水默默地将你守护!如果你愿意,我将会不懈地爱你就象那连绵不断的山川! 我悔我不是风,因为我不够体贴;我恨我不是云,因为我不够温柔;我怨我不是水,因为我不够清澈;我怒我不是山,因为我的爱不够坚定……
I can only be myself this time, my mortal, earthly self, my only self, the only self that I can ever hope to be. I thirst for love but I do not understand her deep mystery. I strive for transcendence but I would rather be silent and nameless. I want to be mature but I would rather remain innocent. I would like that she love me, but I do not know even if I truly love her! Endless searching, thirsting, striving, pursuing-where are my goals? Where is my future?
我只能做回自己,平凡的自己,唯一的自己,寻求中的自己。我渴望爱情但是却不懂她的深奥,我向往不平凡但是却甘愿默默无名。我追求成熟但是我宁愿单纯。我但愿她能喜欢我,但是我又不知道我是否喜欢她。寻求,渴望,向往,追求,哪里是我的目标和未来……
In this mundane world, I am one lonely speck; in this universe I am a powerless particle of dust. My love, thought beautiful, is nothing great in itself. And so, I ask only to live as well as I can. In truth, there is no need to live one‘s life basking in glory, rising above men—— so long as one’s life has some value, has some security… Fearless and capricious, love will cause me great pain. Youth, transient and inconstant, will bring me loneliness. Work, busy and mindless, will make me lost. I am just searching for and waiting for some of that which shines, that which is radiant in life…
俗世间我是孤独的一粒,宇宙间我是无为的尘埃,我的爱虽然美好,但并不伟大…… 所以我只是想好好的活着…… 其实人生未必要过的轰轰烈烈,出人头地,。只要过的有价值,活的很踏实…… 无畏的爱,会让我很痛苦;悸动的青春,会让我很寂寞;忙碌的工作,会让我容易迷茫…… 我只是在寻找,我亦是在等待。生命中的璀璨光辉……

Of Study论读书
-By Francis Bacon弗兰西斯·培根
书籍是喂养人类灵魂的粮食,人不吃饭会饿死,那么人的精神缺乏适当的喂养也会饥饿,我想在现代这个速食的社会所缺乏的就是精神食粮的喂养。不断阅读,这样我们才不至于越来越肤浅。
Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.
读书足以怡情,足以傅彩,足以长才。其怡情也,最见于独处幽居之时;其傅彩也,最见于高谈阔论之中;其长才也,最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节,然纵观统筹、全局策划,则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰,文采藻饰太盛则矫,全凭条文断事乃学究故态。
They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation Read not to contradict and confute nor to believe and take for granted.
读书补天然之不足, 经验 又补读书之不足,盖天生才干犹如自然花草,读书然后知如何修剪移接;而书中所示,如不以经验范之,则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书,无知者羡读书,唯明智之士用读书,然书并不以用处告人,用书之智不在书中,而在书外,全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者,不可尽信书上所言,亦不可只为寻章摘句,而应推敲细思。
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.
书有可浅尝者,有可吞食者,少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之,有只需读其部分者,有只需大体涉猎者,少数则须全读,读时须全神贯注,孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读,取其所作摘要,但只限题材较次或价值不高者,否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。
唯美经典英文文章2
First Snow初雪
初雪来临的时候,有人在漫天飞舞的雪花中欢呼雀跃,恨不能随之飞舞;也有孩童迫不及待地冲出家门,想用初雪堆砌冬天第一个雪人;也有人望着落于手心,慢慢融化的雪花,神情恬淡而飘缈;亲爱的,你是怎样迎接每一场初雪的?
This morning, when I first caught sight of the unfamiliar whitened world, I could not help wishing that we had snow oftener, that English winters were more wintry.
今天早上,当我第一次看见这个陌生的银白色的世界时,我不禁衷心希望这里能够多下几场雪,这样我们英国的冬天才能更增添几分冬天的味道。
How delightful it would be, I thought, to have months of clean snow and a landscape sparkling with frost instead of innumerable grey featureless days of rain and raw winds.
我想,如果我们这里经常是个冰雪积月、霜华璀璨的景象,而不是像现在这种苦雨凄风永无尽期的阴沉而乏特色的日子,那该多么令人喜悦啊!
I began to envy my friends in such places as the Eastern States of America and Canada, who can count upon a solid winter every year and know that the snow will arrive by a certain date and will remain, without degenerating into black slush, until Spring is close at hand. To have snow and frost and yet a clear sunny sky and air as crisp as a biscuit - this seemed to me happiness indeed.
于是我羡慕起那些居住在美国东部各州和加拿大的我的友人们,他们那里年年都能出现一个像样的冬天,都能说得出降雪的确切日期,并能保证,直至大地春回之前,那里的雪绝无退化为黑色泥浆的可能。既有霜雪,又有晴朗温煦的天空,而且空气又非常凉爽清新——这在我看来实在是很大的快乐。
And then I saw that it would never do for us. We should be sick of it in a week. After the first day the magic would be gone and there would be nothing left but the unchanging glare of the day and the bitter cruel nights.
但马上我又觉得这样还是不行。不出一周人们就会对它感到厌烦。第一天后魔力便会消失,剩下的唯有白昼那种永无变化的耀眼阳光与刺骨严寒和凄冷的夜晚。
It is not the snow itself,the sight of the blanketed world, that is so enchanting, but the first coming of the snow, the sudden and silent change.Out of the relations, for ever shifting and unanticipated,of wind and water comes a magical event.
让人如此着迷的不是雪的本身,不在这个银装素裹的景象,而是初雪降临时,那突然而宁静的变化。正是从风风雨雨这类变幻无常和难以预期的关系之中才会出现这种以降雪为奇迹的情形。
Who would change this state of things for a steadily recurring round,an earth governed by the calendar? It has been well said that while other countries have a climate, we alone in England have weather. There is nothing duller than climate,which can be converted into a topic only by scientists and hypochondriacs.
谁又肯拿眼前这般景致去换上个永远周而复始的单调局面,一个全由年历来控制的大地?有一句话说的好,别的国家都有气候,唯有英国才有天气。气候是最为枯燥和乏味的,或许只有科学家与疑难杂症患者才会把它当做话题。
But weather is our earth's Cleopatra, and it is not to be wondered at that we, who must share her gigantic moods, should be for ever talking about her. Once we were settled in America, Siberia, Australia, where there is nothing but a steady pact between climate and the calendar,we should regret her very naughtinesses, her willful pranks,her gusts of rage, and sudden tears.
但是天气却是我们这块土地上的克里奥佩特拉,因而毫不奇怪,人们为它巨大情绪变化所左右,总不免要对她窃窃私议。假如一旦我们定居于美洲、西伯利亚与澳大利亚,在那里气候与年历之间早已有成约在先,我们即使仅仅因为失去她的调皮,她任性的恶作剧,她的狂忿盛怒与涕泣涟涟也会深感遗憾。
唯美经典英文文章3
Summer Afternoon夏日午后
夏日的午后,太阳毫不吝惜的挥洒着热度。炎炎夏日,挥汗如雨,大汗淋漓之后却有着莫名的酣畅淋漓。夏日,就这么真诚的张扬着自己独特的个性,挥洒着灼人的热情。
Summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words. Summer is the glorious time of the year when most of us can put on our shorts and short-sleeved shirts and actually feel the air and sunlight on our skin; when we don't have to turn up the heat in the morning when we get up; but also when we lay hot and sweaty in bed, unable to sleep at times (those of us who don't have air conditioning, anyway); when we get the sunburn and the heatstroke and all those wonderful things.
夏日的下午;对我来说,这几个字一直是英语语言中最美丽的两个字。浪漫夏季,这是一年中最灿烂的季节,我们可以穿上短裤,短袖,尽情地感受着夏日的空气以及撒在皮肤上的阳光;我们不必要在清晨起床后就去打开暖气;当然我们也会满身是汗,燥热地躺在床上,而无法入眠(那些没有空调设施的人们);有了一身夏日晒斑,中暑,这一切都是我们经历着夏日的美妙事情。
All green and fair the summer lies, just budded from the bud of spring, with tender blue of wistful skies, and winds that softly sing. How beautiful the summer night is, which is not night, but a sunless, yet unclouded day,descending upon earth with dews and shadows and refreshing coolness! How beautiful the long mild twilight,which, like a silver clasp, unites today with yesterday!
夏日展现出一片翠绿、美丽的图画,就像春天的蓓蕾刚刚萌芽,湛蓝的令人向往的天空,还有那轻声吟唱的微风。夏日的夜晚也是美丽的,与其称它为夜晚,它其实更像一个阳光照射不到的,晴朗的白昼,它携带清露,阴凉以及一丝丝清爽降落到了地球!这漫长柔和的夏日黎明也是如此美丽,它就像一个银扣,将今天与昨天紧紧地联系在一起!
Summer is a sailor in a rowboat and ice-cream on your dress when you're four years old. Summer is a man with his coat off, wet sand between your toes, the smell of a garden an hour before moonrise. Summer is silk itself, a giant geranium and music from a flute far away!
夏日是一叶小舟上的船夫,是你四岁时不小心沾在裙脚上的冰淇淋;夏日是赤裸着上身的男人,是浸入你脚趾间的湿漉漉的沙子;夏日还是朝阳初升前一小时的那花园里的清香味。夏日就是那丝绸锦缎,那盛开的天竺葵,以及从远方飘来的悠悠长笛声!
No matter how we see it, summer has a magic that we can't deny - all four seasons do.
不管我们如何看待它,夏季总有着那么一种我们无法否认的魔力——每个季节独有的魔力。
