1. 推荐几篇英语美文

没问题。我这就去给你找来！全部是经典中的经典或者是经典名著中最经典的片段。可以诵读，可以铭记。

NO.1 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 st.

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.
NO.2 Three Days to See(Excerpts)
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 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 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 ring his early alt life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

NO.3
What I Have Lived For

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always it brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
NO.4
When Love Beckons You

When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

这些都是好文章噢。传诵千古算不上，脍炙人口吧。希望你会喜欢。

2. 推荐适合大学生背诵、阅读的英语美文书籍，要有标准录音

VOA english，或者VOA spacial English

3. 请推荐一些英语美文的书，最好是优美的散文

《最美的英文》不错，我和我同学都看，基本符合你的要求。一般这类书在学校图书馆都能找到。 还有《牛津英语书虫系列》是短篇小说，依难度而分，其实我个人觉得还是读小说比较好，更能提高你的阅读水平。

4. 你有哪些好的英文原版阅读书籍的推荐呢

要说看的最顺利的是罗琳阿姨的《哈利波特》系列。这也可能是因为我之前看过中文版的原因。因为说实在的本书的生词实在不少。罗阿姨的英国文学学位不是买来的。所以如果你喜欢《哈》的话，这本书的推荐指数就是＊＊＊＊＊＊。（观众：嗯？我好像数了六颗星？难道五颗星不是满分吗？？）但如果不喜欢的话就算了。除了《哈》，还想特别推荐一本书。比较小众。叫《You’ve Got To Read This》。（《你一定得读读这本书啊》？）这本书是我在图书馆检索时无意发现的。是由《心灵鸡汤》（不要用鄙视的眼神看我。。我真的没读过这个系列。。）的编者主编的。有很多篇小故事。每一篇的作者都是有传奇经历的。要么是大作家，要么是大公司的老总。因为作者良莠不齐，所以文章难度也各不相同。可以挑适合的读读。推荐指数：＊＊＊＊＊再后来我就开始找畅销书读了（表鄙视我。我的目的只是为了提高英文，所以基本捡好读的读）。其实畅销书真的很适合培养英文阅读习惯。畅销书的特点是短，情节吸引人，最重要的是生词不多。（大概是因为畅销书的作者和读者都没什么文化。。）我还专门买了一个kindle。当然所有书籍都从网上下载或者某宝低价代购来的（表再次鄙视我，等哥我以后有钱了会买正版的）。顺便表示一下对我朝代购们的佩服之情。没有遇到他们搜不到的书～～而且价钱真真是白菜价。链接我就不放了（即便我不觉得帮自己认为有价值的东西做推广有任何不妥。。）。自行搜索低价代购电子书。一把一把的。。最后总结陈词。英文原著最关键的还是要读自己喜欢的内容。最开始可以从简单的入手，但到了后来兴趣才是最主要的驱动。
