WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
作者WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS葉芝(1865-1939),用英語寫作的愛爾蘭詩人,早年曾參加愛爾蘭獨立運動,但後來脫離政治運動,專心致力與文學寫作。其詩風受布萊克影響較深;後與法國詩派接觸,使他的詩又帶上了唯美注意和象徵主義色彩。葉芝在1923年獲得諾貝爾文學獎,是一位對現代詩歌具有重大影響的詩人。葉芝在1889年遇見女演員、愛爾蘭獨立運動戰士Maud Gonne,並愛上了她,他曾多次向她求婚,但均遭拒絕,但他終生愛慕著她,為她寫下了許多詩,《當你老了》就是其中一首。When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
當你老了,頭白了,睡思昏沉,
爐火旁打盹,請取下這部詩歌,
慢慢讀,回想你過去眼神的柔和
回想它們過去的濃重的陰影;
多少人愛你年輕環暢的時候
愛慕你的美貌出於假意或真心,
只有一個人愛你那朝聖者的靈魂,
愛你老去的容顏的痛苦的皺紋。躬身在紅光閃耀的爐火旁,
凄然的低語,愛為何消逝,
在頭頂的山上他緩緩踱著步子,
將臉隱沒在了群星之中。

那我就推薦一首泰戈爾的詩吧:
Where The Mind Is Without Fear
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake
你得要有勇氣和志向才敢朗誦這首詩。。。
D. 求一篇適合英語朗讀的美文
我大一時候背誦過的一篇文 感覺寫的很好的~~和你分享~~希望能有所幫助哈~~ 題目是 If I were a boy again~~
If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. "There are only two creatures," says a proverb, "Who can surmount the pyramids - the eagle and the snail."
If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown up people say, "I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so", and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.
If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.
If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice," says a wise author. We too often borrow trouble, and anticipate that may never appear." The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear." Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for any fate, and there is no harm to be feared. If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, I smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. "Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut out from love." Importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline.
If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say no more often. I might write pages on the doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy. If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more enrable.
Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would, if I were a boy again, I would still try harder to make others happy.
假如我又回到了童年,我做事要更有毅力,決不因為事情艱難或者麻煩而撒手不幹,我們要光明,就得征服黑暗。
毅力在效果上有時能同天才相比。俗話說:「能登上金字塔的生物,只有兩種——鷹和蝸牛。」
假如我又回到了童年,我就要養成專心致志的習慣;有事在手,就決不讓任何東西讓我分心。我要牢記:優秀的滑冰手從不試圖同時滑向兩個不同的方向。
如果及早養成這種專心致志的習慣,它將成為我們生命的一部分。我常聽成年人說:「雖然我希望能集中注意聽牧師講道或讀書,但往往做不到。」而原因就是年輕時沒有養成這種習慣。
假如我現在能重新開始我的生命,我就要更注意記憶力的培養。我要採取一切可能的辦法,並且在一切可能的場合,增強記憶力。要正確無誤地記住一些東西,在開始階段的確要作出一番小小的努力;但要不了多久,記憶力本身就會起作用,使記憶成為輕而易舉的事,只需及早培養,記憶自會成為一種才能。
假如我又回到了童年,我就要培養勇氣。一位明智的作家曾說過:「世上沒有東西比勇氣更溫文爾雅,也沒有東西比懦怯更殘酷無情。」
我們常常過多地自尋煩惱,杞人憂天。「怕禍害比禍害本身更可怕。」凡事都有危險,但鎮定沉著往往能克服最嚴重的危險。對一切禍福做好准備,那麼就沒有什麼災難可以害怕的了。
假如我又回到了童年,我就要事事樂觀。生活猶如一面鏡子:你朝它笑,它也朝你笑;如果你雙眉緊鎖,向它投以懷疑的目光,它也將還以你同樣的目光。
內心的歡樂不僅溫暖了歡樂者自己的心,也溫暖了所有與之接觸者的心。「誰拒愛於門外,也必將被愛拒諸門外。」
假如我又回到了童年,我就要養成經常說「不」字的習慣。一個少年要能挺得起腰,拒絕做不應該做的事,就因為這事不值得做。我可以寫上好幾頁談談早年培養這一點的重要性。
假如我又回到了童年,我就要要求自己對夥伴和朋友更加禮貌,而且對陌生人也應如此。在坎坷的生活道路上,最細小的禮貌猶如在漫長的冬天為我們歌唱的小鳥,那歌聲使冰天雪地的寒冬變得較易忍受。
最後,假如我又回到了童年,我不會力圖為自己謀幸福,好像這就是人生唯一的目的;與之相反,我要更努力為他人謀幸福。
E. 英語勵志美文
英語勵志文章: Be a Fighter A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, "What kind of man should I be?" My answer was, "Be a fighter."Another friend of mine inquired, "How should I live my life?" Again my answer was, "Be a fighter."The author of In Praise of the Fighter says:Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.If I were a lamp, it would be my ty to light up thick darkness. If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.Fighters are badly needed in our time. But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field gun in hand. Their weapons are not necessarily bullets. Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.A fighter is always in pursuit of light. Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate people's way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day. It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. He is determined to wipe them out and win light. He knows no compromise. He will keep on fighting until he wins light.A fighter is perennially young. He is never irresolute or inactive. He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexist with them under the same sky. To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. In the course of the struggle, it is the "future" that serves as the beacon light to him; the "future" gives people hope and inspiration. He will never lose his youthful vigour.A fighter will never lose heart or despair. He will pile up broken pieces of brick and stone to rebuild a nine-story pagoda on the ruins of failure. No blows will ever break his will. He will never close his eyes until he has breathed his last.A fighter is always fearless. His steps are firm. Once he has settled on an objective, he will press right ahead. He is never afraid of being tripped by a stumbling block. No obstacles will ever make him change his mind. His eyes will never be hoodwinked by false appearances. His actions are guided by faith. He can enre any hardships or sufferings while striving to attain his chosen objective. He will never abandon work as long as he is alive.This is the kind of fighter we now need. He is not necessarily possessed of superhuman capability. He is just an ordinary person. Anyone can be a fighter so long as he has the determination. Hence a few words of mine about "being a fighter" to encourage those young people who wander about in a depressed state, not knowing which way to go.參考譯文:做一名進攻型戰士一個年輕的朋友寫信問我:「應該做一個什麼樣的人?「我回答他:「做一個戰士。」另一個朋友問我:「怎樣對付生活了,我仍舊答道:「做一個戰士。」《戰士頌》的作者曾經寫過這樣的話:「我激盪在這綿綿不息、滂沱四方的生命洪流中,我就應該追逐這洪流,而且追過它,自己去造更廣、更深的洪流。」「我如果是一盞燈,這燈的用處便是照徹那多量的黑暗。我如果是海潮,便要鼓起波濤去洗滌海邊一切陳腐的積物。」這一段話很恰當地寫出了戰士的心情。在這個時代,戰士是最需要的。但是這樣的戰士並不一定要持槍上戰場。他的武器也下一定是槍彈。他的武器還可以是知識、信仰和堅強的意志。他並不一定要流仇敵的血,卻能更有把握地致敵人的死命,戰士是永遠追求光明的。他並不躺在晴空下享受陽光,在晴夜裡燃起火炬,給人們照亮道路,使他們走向黎明。驅散黑暗,這是戰士的任務。他不躲避黑暗,卻要面對黑暗,跟躲藏在陰影里的魑魅、魍魎搏鬥。他要消滅它們而取得光明。戰士是不知道妥協的。他得不到光明便不會停止戰斗。戰士永遠是年輕的。他不猶豫,不休息。他深入人叢中,找尋蒼蠅、毒蚊等等危害人類的東西。他不斷地攻擊它們,不肯與它們共同生存在一個天空下面,對於戰士,生活就是不停的戰斗,他不是取得光明而牛存,便是帶著滿身傷痕而死去。在戰斗中力量只有增長,信仰只有加強,在戰斗中給戰士指路的是「未來」,「未來」給人以希望和鼓舞。戰士永遠不會失去青春的活力。戰士是不知道灰心與絕望的。他甚至在失敗的廢墟上,還要堆起破碎的磚石重建九級寶塔。任何打擊都不能擊破戰士的意志。只有在死的時候他才閉上眼睛。戰士是不知道畏縮的,他的腳步很堅定。一旦他認准目標,便會向前走去。他不怕被絆腳石摔倒,沒有一種障礙能使他改變心思,假象絕不能迷住戰士的眼睛,支配戰士的行動的是信仰。他能夠忍受一切艱難、痛苦,而達到他所選定的目標。除非他死,否則他決不放棄工作。這便是我們現在需要的戰士。這樣的戰士並不一定具有超人的能力。他是一個平凡的人。每個人都可以做戰士,只要他有決心。所以我用「做一個進攻型的戰士」來激勵那些還在苦悶中彷徨,不知何去何從的年輕朋友。 尊重版權,原文鏈接地址: http://www.lz13.cn/liyingyu/200901129583.html
F. 求一篇英文朗誦的美文 故事 勵志文章等等 適合大場面讀的就可以
Knowledge and virtue
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal Ecation makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conct of life--these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge; they are the objects of a University; I am advocating, I shall illustrate and insist upon them; but still, I repeat, they are no guarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness, they may attach to the man of the world, to the profligate, to the heartless, pleasant, alas, and attractive as he shows when decked out in them. Taken by themselves, they do but seem to be what they are not; they look like virtue at a distance, but they are detected by close observers, and on the long run; and hence it is that they are popularly accused of pretense and hypocrisy, not, I repeat, from their own fault, but because their professors and their admirers persist in taking them for what they are not, and are officious in arrogating for them a praise to which they have no claim. Quarry the granite rock with razors, or moor the vessel with a thread of silk, then may you hope with such keen and delicate instruments as human knowledge and human reason to contend against those giants, the passion and the pride of man.
知識與美德
知識是一回事,美德是另一回事。好意並非良心,優雅並非謙讓,廣博與公正的觀點也並非信仰。哲學,無論多麼富有啟迪和深奧莫測,都無法駕馭情感,不具備有影響力的動機,不具有導致生動活潑的原理。文科教育並不造就基督教徒抑或天主教徒,而是造就了紳士。造就一個紳士誠為美事。有教養的才智,優雅的情趣,正直、公正而冷靜的頭腦,高貴而彬彬有禮的舉止--這些是與淵博的學識生來固有的品質, 它也是大學教育的目的。對此我提倡之,並將加以闡釋和堅持。然而我要說的是,它們仍然不能確保聖潔,或甚至不能保證誠實。它們可以附庸於世故的俗人,附庸於玩世不恭的浪子。唉,當他們用它偽裝起來時,就更增加了他們外表上的冷靜、快活和魅力。就其本身而言,它們似乎已遠非其本來面目,它們似乎一遠看的美德,經久久細察方可探知。因此它們受到廣泛的責難,指責其虛飾與偽善。我要強調,這絕非是因為其自身有什麼過錯,而是因為教授們和贊美者們一味地把它們弄得面目全非,並且還要殷勤地獻上其本身並不希冀的贊頌。如若用剃刀就可以開采出花崗岩,用絲線即能系泊位船隻,那麼,也許你才能希望用人的知識和理性這樣美妙而優雅的東西去與人類的情感與高傲那樣的龐然大物進行抗爭。

H. 哪裡有免費的有聲閱讀的英語短文:又有聲
我是一棵蠟梅樹,生長在-個叫勾踐的主人的園子里,媽媽說我今年就要開花了。聽別人說我的主人是位皇帝,但我怎麼看都不像.哪有皇帝是睡在柴草堆上的,而且每天要嘗苦膽的滋味。睹,你看他又在嘗苦膽了.一天夜裡主人來到我身旁,望瞭望我又看了看星光燦爛的夜空。並大喊一聲'我一定要復國!'我這一聽才確定站在我旁邊的這位原來真的是皇帝。
日子一天天地過去,主人依舊每天睡茅草,嘗苦膽。那膽多苦啊,每天看著我都毛骨'悚然了,更別說嘗了,看著迎春花開了,桃花開了.而我呢?連芽都沒長出來.我沒氣餒,承受著烈日的曝曬,冬天裡北風的呼嘯我都沒有向它們低頭.寒冷的冬天過去了,我的枝頭上一朵小花終於開了.我萬分高興,而且園子里進進出出的人也越來越多,過了幾夭花己開滿了枝頭,這時只見我的主人穿著盔甲帶領大軍出門了.那聲音越來越遠,園子里只留下淡淡的清香。
過了不久.我的主人回來了.只見他滿臉笑容,並且與旁邊的人有說有笑。這時我知道將軍們一定打了勝仗,復國成功了而我呢啕枝頭上的花凋落了.但我依然很開心,因為我經歷了長久的磨難,也綻放了芳香.
到了夜深人靜的時候,我再一次看到主人在嘗苦膽,我真想不明白,不是都已經打了勝仗了嗎,為什麼還這樣委屈自己?到了第二天主人來到我身邊,自言自語地說了好多話。我這一聽才恍然大悟,原來主人每天嘗苦膽是為了.
是的,我知道了成功不容易.不經歷風吹雨打,嘗點苦頭,不經磨煉是很難成功的.只有付出才有回報
