1. 初二英語美文摘抄
1There are few opportunities for me to physically go out of my city for sightseeing, and even fewer to take part in a tourist group. Such an occasion came when
I was invited to a day trip to Wujiaqu, or Five Family Creek, a new farm-turned
city 32 km away from Urumqi to which I』d never been before. Without the least
hesitation I accepted the invitation.
It was an outing organized by the local disabled persons』 federation. A 30-strong party of 「 citizens」 and their caretakers, it was a 「special group
」 consisting of people with cerebral palsy, polio, and permanent spinal cord injuries. A few sat in wheelchairs, some leaned on crutches, and still some limped around with their heads and hands turning and wringing at odd angles. They could create an attraction unique in its own! But each and every one of them wore
a happy face and talked animatedly with one another as I joined the lot on April 30, 2009.
「Disabled」 has always been a harsh word to me, however subconsciously admitted
I am to the fact that I belong to that 「lot.」 I was brought up in a world of
「normal people.」 There is literally nothing I cannot do in my parents』 loving care. The use of the Internet and the grasp of the English language have pushed me even further away from the consciousness that I am disabled. Right this
moment when I, for the second time, stood in the cool morning air with the 「lot
」 waiting for the charted bus, I became more than ever conscious of my 「nervous problems,」 and an hour of waiting seemed like an eternity.
Finally the bus arrived. I went on board with my mother and chose a seat by the
window in the second row. The engine started when everyone was seated with all
the wheelchairs secured in the aisle. From an attractive midget young lady two
seats away on my right, I retrieved my glance and focused it on the window. Past corn fields, vineyards, and vegetable plantations, the bus came to a halt one
hour later in what looked like a small parking lot of a scenic spot called 「The 4th Annual Exhibition of Tulips.」
Tulips! Tulips! Noble, graceful, attractive plants they are! Why is it that a plant looks to me almost like a gentle young lady? Ask Thumbelina from one of my picture books Mother used to read me when I was young – which depicted
a pretty girl climbing out of a tulip-like flower I have loved tulips ever since, but was never given a chance to get a real-life sight of them until now….
But it was not until the bus, with tremendous difficulty, maneuvered a few feet
closer to the entrance some 30 minutes later, did I get off to catch my first glimpse at my favorite flower.
Arranged in crescent beds are patches of red and yellow dazzling under the blazing sun. Despite the warning 「Stay where you are and we will have a group photo
taken in a moment,」 my legs take me to the nearest bed. Bending down, I fix my gaze at one particular tulip, which holds its six red petals on an upstanding
stem. Around the stem sprouted several half-folded triangular leaves like two little hands posed as if to support the stem and the flower. Inside the petals there is no little Thumbelina to be found but a tiny golden pistil standing up straight on purple and yellow star-patterned velvet, bracing itself up for the sun
』s and my glare.
「Attention. Time to take the photo!」 Comes a shout from the crowd behind. Obediently I turn around and squeeze into a pool of standers for one unified 「Cheese!」 And then a real tour of tulips begins.
Along a tree-lined road there are red, yellow, pink, orange, magenta, crimson, cream, snowy white, pearly silver, dark purple, light gold, and rosy claret – the only colors I know by their names. They, together with a wide array of color
combinations – magenta-yellow, red-white, purple-silver, pink-gold, to name a few, creates a world of colors. Tottering on the brick-wide path laid amidst the
flowers, I am turned into a clumsy butterfly in a search for the perfect patch
of tulips. This lot is charming, I yell to my mom and the companions. No, wait
, I think this one is even better…, I decide hesitantly. In the end I, dazzled
by an overwhelming effort of tulips to show off their tints and hues, haul down
my wings and come to a conclusion that it』s real hard to find one group superior to any other, for every color, every pattern they exhibit is a creation of Nature – created long before preference and prejudice were ever known to mankind.
To share something good with your friends doubles your happiness. I find this saying quite weak when I see one of my wheelchair-bound friends shooting flowers
with a DV. He is a handsome man in his late thirties. Ten years ago he broke his neck in a terrible work accident and has been left paralyzed since.
「Wow, I wish I could have a camera like this.」 I walk over and ask, 「Is this
a disc-type?」
「Yep, 40GB.」 He replies with a smile.
His smile makes my happiness grow by at least five times.
「You』d like to take a picture of yourself?」 Mother good-naturedly asks one of the teammates with severe polio. To my surprise, he replies with an enthusiastic nod. His next move makes me gasp. In a struggle he stands up with one crooked leg and pushes his wheelchair away. One hand in the pocket and the other hand holding a bottle of water, he croaks, 「I』m ready.」
It was nearly 3 o』clock that we finally reached the other end of the road, where all the members had a nice meal of fish. By 4:30, we hopped on the bus ready
to go back home.
Every one was tired and sleepy on the return trip – except me. In silence I stared at the running landscape through the window. Everything returned to the 「
normal」 color – unattractive green and gray. A strange thought flashed through my mind. Could all those tulips be seen as 「strange」, 「abnormal」, or 「disabled?」 They could, in fact, as long as they kept their natural differences.
Would they ever feel ashamed of their unique appearances had they been given a
thinking mind?
「This is all your fault! I should have been much taller and would not have had
all this misery!」 Suddenly, this exchange of a parent-daughter conversation rang in my ears, as I looked over to the midget young lady, who had her MP3 player plugged into her ears and apparently enjoyed music she loved.
「No, Tulip,」 I would say to any tulip who felt sad about being abnormal, 「You
are just being attractively different, not disabled. For every Thumbelina, there is one special tulip to sleep in. It』s nothing wrong to be special, but it』
d be all wrong to be perfectly normal.」
2I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you.
我愛你，不是因為你是一個怎樣的人，而是因為我喜歡與你在一起時的感覺。
No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won't make you cry.
沒有人值得你流淚，值得讓你這么做的人不會讓你哭泣。
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
失去某人，最糟糕的莫過於，他近在身旁，卻猶如遠在天邊。
Never frown,even when you are sad,because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
縱然傷心，也不要悉眉不展，因為你不知是誰會愛上你的笑容。
To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.
對於世界而言，你是一個人；但是對於某人，你是他的整個世界。
Don't waste your time on a man/woman,who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
不要為那些不願在你身上花費時間的人而浪費你的時間。
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
愛你的人如果沒有按你所希望的方式愛你，那並不代表他們沒有全心全意地愛你。
Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to.
不要著急，最好的總會在最不經意的時候出現。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally meet the person,we will know how to be grateful.
在遇到夢中人之前，上天也許會安排我們先遇到別人；在我們終於遇見心儀的人時，便應當心存感激。
Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.
不要因為結束而哭泣，微笑吧，為你的曾經擁有。
Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.

3. 急需初二的英語美文摘抄!10篇!!!!!!!
英語美文 - All that is beautiful （上）
第一篇： grain of sand
一粒沙子
william blake/威廉.布萊克
to see a world in a grain of sand,
and a heaven in a wild fllower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour.
從一粒沙子看到一個世界，
從一朵野花看到一個天堂，
把握在你手心裡的就是無限，
永恆也就消融於一個時辰。
第二篇：love your life
熱愛生活
henry david thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅
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 have 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 have 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 happens 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.
不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那裡去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。
第三篇

that stirred our hearts in youth, 強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,
the impulses to wordless prayer, 推動著我們做無言的禱告的,
the dreams of love and truth; 讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;

the spirit's yearning cry, 使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,
the striving after better hopes- 為了更美好的夢想而奮斗著的-
these things can never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
the timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手，
a brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的時候，
a kindly word in grief's dark hour 傷慟、困難的時候，一句親切的話
that proves a friend indeed ; 就足以證明朋友的真心；
the plea for mercy softly breathed, 輕聲地乞求憐憫，
when justice threatens nigh, 在審判臨近的時候，
the sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一種傷感--
these things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
let nothing pass for every hand 在人間傳遞溫情
must find some work to do ; 盡你所能地去做；
lose not a chance to waken love- 別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----
be firm,and just ,and true; 為人要堅定，正直，忠誠；
so shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀著你的那道光芒
beam on thee from on high. 就不會消失。

http://..com/question/9750123.html?si=1There" is no better than "Here"
Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves. However, more often than not, once you arrive " there" you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your " there" vision to yet another point in the future. By always chasing after another "there," you are never really appreciating what you already have right "here." It is important for human beings to keep soberminded about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand. On one hand, your life is enhanced by your dreams and aspirations. On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now. By learning the lessons of gratitude and abundance, you can bring yourself closer to fulfilling the challenge of living in the present.
Gratitude To be grateful means you are thankful for and appreciative of what you have and where you are on your path right now. Gratitude fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path. As you strive to keep your focus on the present moment, you can experience the full wonder of "here."
There are many ways to cultivate gratitude. Here are just a few suggestions you may wish to try:
1. Imagine what your life would be like if you lost all that you had. This will most surely remind you of how much you do appreciate it.
2. Make a list each day of all that you are grateful for, so that you can stay conscious daily of your blessings. Do this especially when you are feeling as though you have nothing to feel grateful for. Or spend a few minutes before you go to sleep giving thanks for all that you have.
3. Spend time offering assistance to those who are less fortunate than you, so that you may gain perspective.
However you choose to learn gratitude is irrelevant. What really matters is that you create a space in your consciousness for appreciation for all that you have right now, so that you may live more joyously in your present moment.
Abundance One of the most common human fears is scarcity. Many people are afraid of not having enough of what they need or want, and so they are always striving to get to a point when they would finally have enough.
Alan and Linda always dreamed of living "the good life." Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfill their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years, amassing a small fortune, so they could move from their two-bedroom home to a palatial seven-bedroom home in the most upscale neighborhood. They focused their energies on accumulating all the things they believed signified abundance: membership in the local exclusive country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. No matter how much they accumulated, however, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to erase the deep fear of scarcity both had acquired in childhood. They needed to learn the lesson of abundance. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. A bizarre but costly lawsuit depleted another huge portion of their savings. One thing led to another, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Assets needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership, the cars, and the house. It took several years and much hard work for Alan and Linda to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from extravagant, they have taken stock of their lives and feel quite blessed. Only now, as they assess what they have left -- a solid, loving marriage, their health, a dependable income, and good friends -- do they realize that true abundance comes not from amassing, but rather from appreciating.
Scarcity consciousness arises as a result of the "hole-in-the-soul syndrome." This is when we attempt to fill the gaps in our inner lives with things from the outside world. But like puzzle pieces, you can't fit something in where it does not naturally belong. No amount of external objects, affection, love, or attention can ever fill an inner void. We already have enough, so we should revel in our own interior abundance.
彼岸無盡頭，知足才常樂
許多人都相信，一旦他們達到了自己所設定的某個特定目標，他們就會開心、快樂。然而事實往往是，當你到達彼岸時，你還是不知足、不滿意，而且又有了新的彼岸--新的幻想和憧憬。由於你總是疲於追逐一個又一個的彼岸，你從未真正欣賞、珍惜你已經擁有的一切。不安於現狀的慾望人皆有之，由來已久，但重要的是要對它保持清醒的頭腦。一方面，你的生活因為夢想和渴望而更加精彩。另一方面，這些慾望又使你越來越不懂得珍惜和享受現在擁有的生活。假如你能懂得感恩，學會知足，你就接近實現生活在現實中提出的要求。
感恩之心感恩是指你感激、珍惜自己當前所擁有的一切以及所處的人生境遇。心存感恩，你的心靈就充滿愉悅，你就能真正領會人生路上的種種體驗。如果你努力把眼光鎖定在此時此刻，你就能感受它的美妙之處。
感恩之心需要經常加強。許多方法可以培育感恩之心，你不妨試試以下幾種：
1．設想如果你失去了你現在所擁有的一切，你的生活將會怎麼樣。它肯定會使你回想起原來你是多麼喜歡和珍視這一切。
2．每天都列出那些值得你感激的事物，那樣你就能時時刻刻意識到自己的幸運。每天都要這么做，尤其是當你覺得好像沒有什麼可感激的時候。另外你也可以每天臨睡前花幾分鍾感恩自己所擁有的一切。
3．花時間幫助那些沒有你那麼幸運的人，這樣你也許會對生活有正確的認識。
其實，你選擇何種方法去學會感恩，這無關緊要，真正重要的是你應該有意識地努力去欣賞和珍視你現在所擁有的一切，這樣你就可以更快樂地享受你目前的生活。
知足常樂貧窮是人類最普遍的恐懼之一。許多人擔心自己的所需所求不夠，所以他們總是孜孜以求有朝一日能心滿意足，別無他求。
艾倫和琳達都來自貧苦的工人家庭，都一直夢想著過上"好日子"。他們早早地成了家，然後就開始為他們共同的致富目標奮斗。他們拚命工作了好幾年，終於積攢了一筆錢，從兩居室搬到了一套坐落在最高檔街區的富麗堂皇的七居室大房子。此後，他們費盡心思去積聚那些他們認為是代表富足的東西：當地惟一的一家鄉村俱樂部的會員資格、豪華汽車、名牌服裝，以及上流社會的朋友。但是，不論他們積聚了多少，似乎永遠難以滿足。他們倆誰都無法消除小時侯對貧窮的刻骨銘心的恐懼。其實，他們就需要學會知足常樂這一課。1987年，股市遭受重創，艾倫和琳達損失慘重。禍不單行，一場莫名其妙的昂貴的官司又耗盡了他們的一大筆積蓄，這一切使他們陷入了經濟困境。他們不得不變賣家產，最後他們丟掉了鄉村俱樂部的會員資格，失去了汽車和房子。艾倫和琳達努力奮鬥了好幾年才從困境中走出來。現在他們的生活毫不奢華，但是他們是自己生活的主宰，幸福而又知足。只有在這時，他們才掂量著那些尚未失去的東西，如穩固相愛的婚姻、健康的身體、可靠的收入、真正的朋友等等，他們終於認識到，真正的富足不是來自財富的積聚，而是來自對所擁有的一切的珍視。
貧窮感可以歸因於"精神空虛綜合症"，即我們試圖用身外之物來填補內心的空缺。但是，就像拼圖游戲一樣，你不能把本來不屬於那個地方的東西硬塞進去。任何身外之物、情感、關愛和關注都無法填補內心的空虛。我們擁有的已經足夠，因此我們應該滿足於內心世界的豐富與充實。

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。
three days to see
假如擁有三天光明
helen keller海倫.凱勒
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 twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man 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 up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings what happiness should we find in reviewing the past, 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 a gentleness, a 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,」 most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
我們都讀過這樣一些動人的故事，故事裡主人公將不久於人世。長則一年，短則24小時。但是我們總是很想知道這個即將離開人世的人是決定怎樣度過他最後的日子的。當然，我所指的是有權作出選擇的自由人，不是那些活動范圍受到嚴格限制的死囚。
這一類故事會使我們思考在類似的處境下，我們自己該做些什麼？在那臨終前的幾個小時里我們會產生哪些聯想？會有多少欣慰和遺憾呢？
有時我想，把每天都當作生命的最後一天來度過也不失為一個很好的生命法則。這種人生態度使人非常重視人生的價值。每一天我們都應該以和善的態度、充沛的精力和熱情的欣賞來度過，而這些恰恰是在來日方長時往往被我們忽視的東西。當然，有這樣一些人奉行享樂主義的座右銘——吃喝玩樂，但是大多數人卻不能擺脫死亡來臨的恐懼。
most of us 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 task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.
the same lethargy, i am afraid, characterizes the use of 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 alt 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 sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. it is the same old story of not being grateful for what we 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 ring his early alt life. darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
now and then i have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. recently i was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and i asked her what she had observed. 「nothing in particular,」 she replied. i might have been increlous had i not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago i became convinced that the seeing see little.
我們大多數人認為生命理所當然，我們明白總有一天我們會死去，但是我們常常把這一天看得非常遙遠。當我們身體強壯時，死亡便成了難以相象的事情了。我們很少會考慮它，日子一天天過去，好像沒有盡頭。所以我們為瑣事奔波，並沒有意識到我們對待生活的態度是冷漠的。
我想我們在運用我們所有五官時恐怕也同樣是冷漠的。只有聾子才珍惜聽力，只有盲人才能認識到能見光明的幸運。對於那些成年致盲或失陪的人來說尤其如此。但是那些聽力或視力從未遭受損失的人卻很少充分利用這些幸運的能力，他們對所見所聞不關注、不欣賞。這與常說的不失去不懂得珍貴，不生病不知道健康可貴的道理是一樣的。
我常想如果每一個人在他成年的早些時候，有幾天成為了聾子或瞎子也不失為一件幸事。黑暗將使他更珍惜光明；沉寂將教他知道聲音的樂趣。
有時我會試探我的非盲的朋友們，想知道他們看見了什麼。最近我的一位非常要好的朋友來看我，她剛剛在樹林里走了很長時間，我問她看見了什麼。「沒什麼特別的，」她回答說。如不是我早已習慣了這樣的回答，我也許不會輕易相信，因為很久以前我就相信了有眼人看不見什麼。
genius at work
天才在工作
henry ford didn』t always pay attention in school. one day ,he and a friend took a watch apart. angry and upset, the teacher told him both to stay after school. their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. but the teacher did not know young ford』s genius. in ten minutes, this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home..
ford was always interested in how things worked. he once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. then he waited to see what would happen. the water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. the explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. the young inventor was badly scalded
ford』s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. he dreamed of a horseless carriage. when he built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.
亨利.福特在學校里常常心不在焉。有一天，他和一個小朋友把一塊手錶拆開了。老師很生氣，讓他們放學後留下來，把表修好才能回家。當時這位老師並不知道小福特的天才。只用了十分鍾，這位機械奇才就把手錶修好，走在回家的路上了。
福特對各種東西的工作原理總是很感興趣。曾有一次，他把茶壺嘴用東西堵住，然後把茶壺放在火爐上。他便站在一邊等候著會出現什麼情況。當然，水開後變成了水蒸氣。因為水蒸氣無處逸出，茶壺便爆炸了，因而打碎了一面鏡子和一扇窗戶。這個小發明家也被嚴重地燙傷了。
多年後，福特的好奇心和他的動手能力使他得到了回報。他曾經夢想著去製造一輛無馬行進的車。他造成了一輛這樣的車後，運輸界發生了永久性的變化。
love your life
熱愛生活
henry david thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅
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 have 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 have 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 happens 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.
不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那裡去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。
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 proce 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 having 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 have 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 happiness vanished in a moment.
一個村姑頭上頂著一罐牛奶在路上行走。走著走著，她的腦子里浮現出一連串的幻想：「我賣了這罐牛奶後，用這筆錢買雞蛋，這樣我有的雞蛋可以增加到300個。用這300個雞蛋孵小雞，這就算有壞的、生蟲的，至少也能孵出250隻小雞。等小雞長大後，正好能趕上賣個好市價；那麼到了新年，我就能有錢買一件新晚裝。買一件綠色的——讓我好好想想——對，綠色與我的膚色最相襯。我穿上這件衣服去趕集，所有的年輕小夥子都會搶著邀請我做舞伴；但是不行——我要輕蔑地把頭一揚，轉身過去不理他們，讓他們人人都碰個釘子。
她想得得意忘形，情不自禁地把頭一揚，剎那間，牛奶罐跌了下來！她幻想的一切幸福間破滅了。

In order to keep fit, some teenagers ignore breakfast, they think the less they eat, the fitter they become. It is totally wrong idea, the doctor says in the newspaper that breakfast is very important for people』s health, in the morning, people need energy, after a night』s sleeping, the stomach is empty. So if not filling breakfast, people』s body will get weaker. We can eat less food in lunch and dinner, but not in breakfast. It is said that some will get fat if they don』t have breakfast, because the diet is not balanced, the body takes in more than what they need. So in order to keep fit, we should have breakfast.
為了保持健美，一些青少年忽略早餐，他們認為吃得越少，越健美。這是完全錯誤的觀念，醫生在報紙上宣稱早餐對人的健康很重要，早上，人們需要能量，經過了一晚的睡眠，胃變得空盪。所以如果不吃早餐，人們的身體就會變得虛弱。我們可以在午餐和晚餐少吃點，但是早餐要吃。據說，一些人如果不吃早餐會變胖，因為飲食不平衡，身體吸收的會超過所需的。所以為了保持健康，我們應該吃早餐。
