Ⅲ 英语短篇美文4篇

1、If not to the sun for smiling, warm is still in the sun there, but wewill laugh more confident calm; if turned to found his own shadow, appropriate escape, the sun will be through the heart,warm each place behind the corner; if an outstretched palm cannot fall butterfly, then clenched waving arms, given power; if I can't have bright smile, it will face to the sunshine, and sunshine smile together, in full bloom.

译文：如果不向太阳索取微笑,温暖仍在太阳那里,但我们会笑得更加自信从容；如果转过身去发现了自己的影子,适当的躲让,阳光便可穿越心灵,温暖每一处身后的角落；如果摊开的掌心不能点落蝴蝶,那就紧握成拳挥动臂膀,给予力量；如果我不能够微笑得灿烂,那就将脸投向灿烂的阳光,与阳光一起微笑,烂漫。

2、When you love who you are,you become a conit of light.Just drop into your heart space,and live life from this view.For all of this doingis not who you are.Listen to your heart’s soft whisper,this voice will show you the way.Live life from your essenceis what she will say.See the light in yourself,and your world will be bright.There is no need to worry,you are exactly as you should be;remember to love who you are,and love you will see.

译文：当你爱自己的时候，你会成为一道光。只需触及心房，并遵循本心来生活。做这一切无关你是谁。聆听内心轻柔的呢喃，她会告诉你方法。遵循本性来生活她会这样告诉你。欣赏自身的光芒，你的世界都会变得明亮。没必要担心，你正是自己本来的模样；记得爱自己，爱自己欣赏的一切。

3、Occasionally, life can be undeniably, impossibly difficult. We are faced with challenges and events that can seem overwhelming, life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going. But you always have a choice. Jessica Heslop shares her powerful, inspiring journey from the worst times in her life to the new life she has created for herself.

译文：生活有时候困难得难以置信，但又不容置疑。我们面临的挑战与困境似乎无法抵御，试图毁灭我们生活，甚至使你犹疑是否继续走下去。但是你总有选择的余地。从人生低谷走向新生活的杰西卡·赫斯乐普，在这里与我们分享她启迪心灵、充满震撼力的生活之旅。

4、So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.

译文：想象一下你就是这个木匠，想象你正在建造这座房子，你每天钉进一颗钉子、安装一块板子或者筑起一面墙。请用心对待吧，这是唯一一个你为自己打造的生活。即使你只在里面住上一天，这一天也要活得有光彩、有尊严。正如格言所说，“生活是一个只有靠自己才能完成的项目。”

5、Time is like a river, the left bank is unable to forget the memories, right is worth grasp the youth, the middle of the fast flowing, is the sad young faint. There are many good things, buttruly belong to own but not much. See the courthouse blossom,honor or disgrace not Jing, hope heaven Yunjuanyunshu, has no intention to stay. In this round the world, all can learn to use a normal heart to treat all around, is also a kind of realm!

译文：岁月就象一条河,左岸是无法忘却的回忆,右岸是值得把握的青春年华,中间飞快流淌的,是年轻隐隐的伤感.世间有许多美好的东西,但真正属于自己的却并不多.看庭前花开花落,荣辱不惊,望天上云卷云舒,去留无意.在这个纷绕的世界里,能够学会用一颗平常的心去对待周围的一切,也是一种境界!

6、People always confuse about the meaning of happiness, they don’t know how to define it. Some people think that when one has the successful career or does something that makes contribution to the society is the happiness. It is common that great acts are admired by the public and people are easy to feel the happiness. While in my opinion, happiness is very easy to achieve. When I stay with my family, we have the nice talk and I feel very happy. When I eat the delicious food that is cooked by my mother, I feel moved and happy. Happiness is around everywhere, we can feel it if we treat it right.

译文：人们总是混淆幸福的含义，他们不知道如何定义幸福。有些人认为，当一个人有了成功的事业或做了对社会有所贡献的事情时，那就是幸福。人们很欣赏伟大的行为，人们很容易感到幸福。在我看来，幸福是很容易实现的。当我和家人在一起时，我们的谈话很愉快，我感到非常高兴。当我吃妈妈做的美味的食物时，我感到很开心。幸福无处不在，只要我们善待它，我们就能感受到幸福。

7、When I am making mistakes, my parents will never be angry with me. I am so thankful to them for they are so tolerant with me. I learn many things from my parents, they show me how to be a tolerant person. They will not blame me for the small mistake that I make, instead, they will ecate me in the gentle way. Unlike some parents who are strict to their kids, they will be very angry and said the hurting words, making the children feel sad. Being tolerant to other people’s mistakes is the best way to solve the problem. People will appreciate the kind act and make things goes on the easy way.

译文：当我犯错误的时候，我的父母永远不会生我的气。我非常感谢他们，因为他们对我很宽容。我从父母那里学到很多东西，他们教我如何成为一个宽容的人。他们不会因为我犯的一个小错误而责备我，相反，他们会以温和的方式教育我。不像一些对孩子要求严格的父母，他们会很生气，说那些伤人的话，让孩子们感到悲伤。宽容别人的错误是解决问题的最好办法。人们会欣赏这种善举，让事情变得简单。

8、Sometimes you dream to be a kind of happiness, sometimes the dream is also a kind of happiness; sometimes is a kind of happiness, sometimes the loss is also a kind of happiness;sometimes success is a kind of happiness, sometimes failure is also a kind of happiness. Sometimes the rich is a kind of happiness, sometimes poverty is also a kind of happiness. "Not happy" today, now can not be "happy", while it may be tomorrow or later become "happiness"!

译文：有时你的梦想达到是一种幸福,有时梦想破灭也是一种幸福；有时得到是一种幸福,有时失去也是一种幸福；有时成功是一种幸福,有时失败也是一种幸福.有时富有是一种幸福,有时贫穷也是一种幸福.“不幸福”今天或者现在不能成为“幸福”,而明天或者以后却可能变成“幸福”!

Ⅳ 英语美文小短文欣赏

英语美文小短文是课堂英语学习的补充阅读材料，能让学生在课后自行阅读和背诵，这样有利于学生扩充课外知识，培养语感和兴趣。这些英语短文往往都蕴含着积极向上的主题，使学生感受到英语的魅力和阅读的快乐，从而激发对英语的学习兴趣以及获得情感上的升华。那么，如何欣赏英语美文小短文呢？
一、英语美文小短文中的英语知识
英语美文的篇幅都是很短小精炼的，由学生所学过的基础的短句、句子所构成，句式成分简单清晰，易于学生的理解。当学生在阅读英语美文的时候，可以一边进行英语知识的复习，一边进行英语知识的积累和延伸。经常会出现同一个知识点在课本中和在美文中的运用有所不同，这样来说，十分有利于学生在学习英语时培养出举一反三的发散性思维能力。
二、英语美文小短文中的写作技巧
英语美文“麻雀虽小”，但是它的“五脏俱全”，小编这里指的就是英语美文的结构整体上是很完整的。短文的好处就是能够把一篇陌生的英语文章的结构清晰地展现在学生的面前，不会因为篇幅过长而使得学生感到厌倦。文中的开头、主要内容、结尾段落划分十分清楚，即使是段落中间每一句话也是层层递进，有逻辑关系的，而且写作时运用的语法也很简单、词组准确，为学生模仿练习英语写作提供了模板和技巧，带给学生写作形式上的点拨。
三、英语美文小短文中的情感价值
英语美文的“美”表现在学生阅读时所产生的审美、脑海中的形象美和情感上的熏陶等方面，这也是英语美文和其他英语材料所不同的地方。上述两点侧重的是英语美文对于学生的知识和技能上面的培养，它存在于学生学习中的最大价值就是美文对于学生情感态度和价值观上的培养。学生在理解英语美文的基础上，进行自我感知，形成自己的体会，受用于生活的方方面面。
英语美文小短文不仅可以使学生开阔视野，增长知识，培养良好的英语自学能力和阅读能力，可以进一步巩固课内学到的英语知识，提高学生的理解水平和体会到作文的魅力，受到一定程度的写作能力熏陶。更重要的是让孩子们进一步明白做人的道理，使学生能健康快乐地成长。

Ⅵ 五篇美文佳作（500字左右） 4篇英语小作文，题目自拟

初中寒假作文：美丽的雪 昨晚，下了一场鹅毛大雪。清晨，我朝楼下一看，地上铺满了白色的雪。连屋顶上，树叶上全都是，真美啊！所以我一吃完早饭就跑下楼和一个小哥哥一起玩雪，我们用雪做成了雪人、山峰和几个小动物等等，还打雪仗，真好玩！然后我们各自拿点雪，回家了。回家后，我就用雪做了一个城市的房子，我先把雪做成一个长方体，然后画上一条一条的花纹，这个房子就做好了。可我抬头一看光芒四射，呀，太阳出来了，雪开始融花，这场雪虽然已经离开了我们，可它给我们带来的欢乐是无穷无尽的。今天，夜晚我和爸爸、妈妈一起看见许多烟火，听到许多鞭炮声音，还放了一些烟火和鞭炮。这要从爸爸到金盛百货大市场买完烟火和鞭炮说起：这时爸爸在看报纸，我们才刚刚从梅花山到外公家。外公家已经准备吃晚饭了，吃完晚饭后，我和爸爸就下楼放鞭炮了，这鞭炮太响了，小汽车都“叫了”。放完鞭炮后，我看见了许多美丽的烟火：有的像喷泉，有的像流星闪过，还有的烟火后会变成红的或绿的小降落伞等等，真是五花八门。我们放的烟花名字叫“天命之意”和“春雷炮”，一个39响，一个48响。我最后想说：“你们燃放时要注意安全。”愉快的星期天，我把作业“消灭”后，“终于属于我的小天地喽！”我不由自主地扑向快乐天地的怀抱，我高声欢呼起来。初中寒假作文：灿烂烟花之夜今天是除夕夜，是个合家团圆的日子，整个城市都笼罩在一片喜庆欢悦的气氛中。在饭店吃完年夜饭后，上空不断传来烟花绽放的声音，惹得我不禁驻足仰望。当一颗不起眼的小火种在半空中崩裂，随即变幻成一把绿色的大伞在夜空中飞旋。当这把“伞”还未完全消失殆尽，又有一朵灿烂的“金菊”蹿上天空，它宛如一位孤傲的仙子，全身被华丽璀璨的金色包围，在万人瞩目下“翩翩起舞”。绚丽的烟花在黑暗的夜空中竟相绽放，那流光溢彩四散开来的点点金光，把夜空装点得如此灿烂夺目。心中一阵震撼之后，又被烟花的潇洒所折服。它们带着坚强的微笑飞向天空，即使知道自己的生命短暂，却依旧想用自己最美的那一瞬间展现给世人观赏。一朵朵烟花像一张张烂漫的笑颜，在绽放中倾诉自己的幸福、欢畅。烟花的美丽很短，还未散尽的烟雾告诉我们，它们曾在这里灿烂地笑过。烟花没了，夜空还是原来的夜空，那些美丽终究只是昙花一现……初中寒假作文：快乐寒假手中的书本变得越来越薄了，终于，我们迎来了盼望已久的寒假。放下肩上的书包、手中的课本，将那XYZ和ABC抛到九霄云外。噢，这个假期属于我们自己。在寒假里，我们可以尽情地玩耍各种游戏，不用担心因为没有完成作业而被老师骂得狗血喷头；我们可以尽情地享受电视大餐，不必担心因为第二天要早起而被父母催促着睡觉。寒假里，我们与大自然有了亲密的拥抱。寒假中的我们如同水中的鱼儿，在自由自在地嬉戏；寒假中的我们是天上的云儿，在无忧无虑地追逐；寒假中的我们是夜空中的繁星，在兴高采烈地捉迷藏；寒假中的我们更是快乐的天使，要将快乐传遍世界的每一个角落。寒假里，我们跟生活有了零距离的接触。寒假中的我们当然不是只知道玩耍游戏，我们也懂得去体验生活。我们会尝试着自己洗衣服，看手上那白白的肥皂泡沫是多么美妙，再用力地搓一下自己的衣服，看着衣服上那一个个脏脏的斑点被自己洗去，心中的喜悦恐怕比考了100分还高兴呢。同时也感受到了做母亲的辛劳，对那“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”的诗句也有了新的体会，而这种体会是无法从课本上、课堂中学到的。快乐寒假里做一个快乐的自己。寒假收获作文1寒假里，我最大的收获就是学会了炒“盐水花生”。那天是星期六，工作了一周的妈妈一定很辛苦，好不容易有个双休日，应该让她好好歇歇。于是，我对妈妈说：“今天的菜我来做，就炒‘盐水花生’吧！”妈妈说：“你就试试吧！”我把一勺盐放入一小半碗水里，用筷子搅拌均匀，让盐融化在水里。我把调好了的盐水放到一边。又把一碟花生米放入锅里，然后把锅放到液化气灶上，打开电子开关，顿时从小孔里窜出蓝莹莹的火，那火苗在锅底周围不停地跳跃。我炒了一会儿，哎呀，不好了，有几粒花生冒烟了，眼看就要糊了。情急之中我想起了妈妈每次炒花生时，都点小火，我怎么点这么大的火呀！我马上把火调小了。我又炒了几下，想：是不是该放盐了？我尝了一粒花生，感觉还不行。过了一会儿，我又尝了一粒，又觉得还不到时候。就这样，我一边炒，一边尝，尝得我都分不清是生的还是熟的了。唉，还是搬救兵吧。于是，我把妈妈叫来，，妈妈笑着说：“你太心急了炒‘盐水花生’要有耐心，要等到花生变成红黄色，发出香味时再放盐水。”于是，我又开始炒起来，慢慢地发现花生渐渐变成了红黄色，我又尝了一粒，哇！真香啊。我把盐水倒进锅里。“滋啦”一声，锅被一层白雾笼罩着。我又开始翻炒起来。过了一会儿，红色的花生穿上了一件银白色的外套。我想：花生一定好了。我把花生盛到盘子里。这时，妈妈过来了，妈妈尝了一粒我炒的花生，说：“第一次就炒这么好，不错，不错。”我也尝了一粒，那花生又脆，又香，又有些咸味，好吃极了。第一次炒“盐水花生”我成功了！寒假收获作文3寒假中，我为了锻炼身体，实施我的减肥计划，便想练一项运动。爸爸建议我去打篮球，我想：“打篮球不仅增强了体质，还能长个儿。”于是决定这个寒假让爷爷教我打篮球。这天天气不错，我带着篮球牵着爷爷的手往卫校的篮球场走去。在路上，我又兴奋又担心，兴奋是因为我从没有打过篮球，这还是第一次，一定很刺激；担心的是我现在太小，个子和球篮之间距离太大，能否投进去都是个问题。但是我又想：“俗话说，有志不在年高，这岂不是说‘锻炼不在个高’吗？”于是便向篮球场跑去。来到学校的操场里，因为是寒假期间，校园也像冬眠了一样，空无一人。开始练球了，爷爷先从最基本的运球、走步、投球讲起，又给我做示范；最后让我一个动作一个动作的练习。在练习中，我无心练习运球和走步，只是一心想投球。我托起球，瞄准球筐，第一球还没到球篮下就掉下来了，直到第六个球，才碰了一下篮板。我灰心了，生气地把球往地上一摔，球却着了魔法似的进了，从篮筐里掉了下来的球在地上弹跳着，好像在说：“别灰心，万事开头难吗！”我立刻信心百倍，又开始练球了。现在，寒假已经过去了，但是我对篮球的热爱一直没有改变，只是没有更多的时间去练习罢了，但是只要天气不错，时间允许，我都会去打篮球的。

YOUTH

By Samuel Ullman 塞缪尔·厄尔曼

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not amatter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of thewill, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by anumber of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles thesoul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the springback to st.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure ofwonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy ofthe game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is awireless
station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer,courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, thereis hope you may die young at 80.

Transforming Obstacles into Benefits

By Richard Stewart,Los Angeles, U.S.A. (Originally in English)
美国洛杉矶 理查德．史都华德（原文为英文）

A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of themfell into a deep pit. Immediately, all the other frogs in the groupgathered around the pit and watched as the imprisoned frogs tried tojump out. The frogs on top could see that the pit was very deep and itlooked as if there was no way out, so they started yelling at the twofrogs in the pit to give up. "The pit is too deep. You're as good asdead," the chorus of frogs said. When the trapped frogs kept trying,the crowd yelled louder, "Give up. You're as good as dead." After awhile, one of the exhausted frogs took heed to what the others weresaying, and fell down and died.

But amazingly, the second frog kept jumping as hard as she coulddespite the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her toaccept the inevitable and just die. Finally, with one valiant leap, shemade it out of the pit!

This amazing result occurred because the second frog was deaf annable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they hadbeen cheering her on the entire time they were yelling! What she hadmistakenly perceived as encouragement inspired her to try harder andsucceed against all odds. And that made all the difference!

With a positive mindset, and being deaf to others' opinions, thesecond frog made use of such negativity to overcome obstacles and reachher goals by using it as encouragement, instead of being influenced byothers like the first frog, who failed to develop her potential tostrive for survival. Thus, when we surmount others' criticism, ridiculeor cynical comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just asthe second frog did. But, if we are not deaf like this frog, who couldnot be influenced by others e to a physical condition, we need the Wisdom to guide us to the proper way, so as not to be blindly guided byworldly opinion.

This amazing result occurred because the second frog was deaf annable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they hadbeen cheering her on the entire time they were yelling! What she hadmistakenly perceived as encouragement inspired her to try harder andsucceed against all odds. And that made all the difference!

With a positive mindset, and being deaf to others' opinions, thesecond frog made use of such negativity to overcome obstacles and reachher goals by using it as encouragement, instead of being influenced byothers like the first frog, who failed to develop her potential tostrive for survival. Thus, when we surmount others' criticism, ridiculeor cynical comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just asthe second frog did. But, if we are not deaf like this frog, who couldnot be influenced by others e to a physical condition, we need the Wisdom to guide us to the proper way, so as not to be blindly guided byworldly opinion.
