經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)美文閱讀篇一
情人節(jié)請(qǐng)聽(tīng)我的愛(ài)情感言
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

The Woodwork Angel
By Varda One
My teeth screamed. I couldn't neglect them any longer. I finally ignored my fear of dentists and decided to get them fixed. But how? I was a college sophomore and barely supported myself with part-time jobs.
Maybe I could fix the worst one. I flipped open the Yellow Pages and called the first dentist within walking distance. The receptionist told me to come right over. As I hurried across the campus, I forgot the pain in worrying about how I would pay the bill.
In a few minutes I was in a chair being examined by a dentist who said, "Hmm!" as he surveyed the wreckage of my mouth. "Your teeth are in bad shape."
"I already know that," I snapped, in a smart-aleck way to hide my fear.
"But don't worry, I'm going to fix them."
"No, you're not. I can't afford to pay you." I started climbing out of the chair.
"What are you doing?"
"I told you, I have no money."
"You're a student at the university, aren't you?"
What difference did that make? "Yes……"
"You're going to graduate in a few years, aren't you?"
"I hope so."
"And then you expect to get a job, don't you?"
"That's my plan."
"Well, then you'll pay me. Meantime, you concentrate on your classes and leave the dentistry to me."
I stared at him. He really meant it. He calmly picked up his tools and fixed the aching cavity.
From that day on, I saw him every week until my teeth were in good shape. And he kept them that way with regular checkups. After graduation, I got a job and settled his bill in a few months.In the 40 years following, I've learned to call this man a "woodwork angel." These are strangers who appear out of nowhere - out of the woodwork - when I need help. They've lent and given me money, materials or equipment; they've taught me skills and helped me organize groups; sometimes they've rescued me from danger or making a big mistake.
So, dentist dear, wherever you are, bless you and thank you again!
經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)美文閱讀篇三
愛(ài)和時(shí)間Love &Time
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

從前有一個(gè)島，所有的情感都住在那里：幸福、悲傷、知識(shí)和所有其它的，愛(ài)也不例外。一天，所有的情感聽(tīng)說(shuō)小島即將沉沒(méi)，因此建造小船，紛紛離開(kāi)，除了愛(ài)。
愛(ài)是唯一留下來(lái)的，因?yàn)樗Ｍ軋?jiān)持到最后一刻。
小島即將沉沒(méi)了，愛(ài)決定請(qǐng)求幫助。
富有駕著一艘大船從愛(ài)身邊經(jīng)過(guò)，愛(ài)說(shuō)，“富有，你能帶上我么?”
富有回答說(shuō)：“不行，我的船上載滿金銀財(cái)寶，沒(méi)有你的地方。”
虛榮坐在漂亮的小船中從愛(ài)身邊駛過(guò)，愛(ài)問(wèn)：“虛榮，你能幫助我么?”
虛榮說(shuō)：“不行，你全身濕透，會(huì)弄臟我的船。”
悲傷的船靠近了，愛(ài)問(wèn)：“悲傷，請(qǐng)帶我走吧。”
“哦……愛(ài)，我太難過(guò)了，想一個(gè)人呆著。”
幸福經(jīng)過(guò)愛(ài)的身邊，它太開(kāi)心了，根本沒(méi)聽(tīng)見(jiàn)愛(ài)在呼喚。
突然，一個(gè)聲音喊道：“來(lái)，愛(ài)，我?guī)阕摺?rdquo; 聲音來(lái)自“年老”。愛(ài)太高興了，甚至忘了問(wèn)他們即將去何方。當(dāng)他們來(lái)到岸上，年老自己離開(kāi)了。愛(ài)突然意識(shí)到“年老”給了它多大的幫助。
于是，愛(ài)問(wèn)另一位老者——知識(shí)：“誰(shuí)幫助了我?”
知識(shí)說(shuō)：“是時(shí)間。”
“時(shí)間?”愛(ài)問(wèn)：“但是時(shí)間為什么幫助我?”
知識(shí)睿智地微笑道：“因?yàn)橹挥袝r(shí)間了解愛(ài)的價(jià)值。”
