初二英語(yǔ)美文摘抄篇一
Catch of a lifetime 一生的收獲
He was 11 and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family's cabin.www.xiao84.com
他11歲那年，只要一有機(jī)會(huì)，就會(huì)到他家小屋的碼頭上釣魚。
On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening. Then he tied on a small silver lure and practiced casting. When his peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
鱸魚季節(jié)開(kāi)放的前一天晚上，他和父親早早開(kāi)始垂釣。他系上魚餌，練習(xí)如何拋線。當(dāng)魚桿向下彎的時(shí)候，他知道線的另一端一定釣到了一條大魚。父親看著他技巧純熟地在碼頭邊沿和魚周旋，眼神充滿贊賞。
Finally, he lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but is was a bass.
最后他將筋疲力盡的魚提出水面。這是他所見(jiàn)過(guò)的最大的一條，還是一條鱸魚。
The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.----two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
父親檫著一根火柴，看了看表。十點(diǎn)了---離開(kāi)禁還有兩個(gè)小時(shí)。他看了看魚，又看了看男孩。
"You'll have to put it back, son." he said.
“你得把它放回去，孩子。”父親說(shuō)道。
"Dad!" cried the boy.
“爸爸!”男孩叫道。
"There will be other fish," said his father.
“還有其他的魚嘛。”父親說(shuō)道。
"Not as big as this one," cried the boy.
“但沒(méi)這么大。”男孩叫道。
He looked around the lake. No others were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father's voice that the decision was not negotiable. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
男孩環(huán)視了一遍湖。月光下附近沒(méi)有其他人。他又看了看他父親。從父親不可動(dòng)搖的語(yǔ)氣中，他知道這個(gè)決定沒(méi)有商量余地，即使沒(méi)有人看到他們，更無(wú)從得知他們何時(shí)釣到了魚。他慢慢地將魚鉤從大鱸魚的唇上取下，然后蹲下將魚放回水中。男孩想，他可能再也看不到這么大的魚了。
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
那是34年前的事了?，F(xiàn)在，男孩是紐約的一個(gè)成功的建筑師，他帶著自己的兒女仍然在同一個(gè)碼頭上釣魚。
And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish---again and again---every time he comes up against a question of ethics.
他猜得沒(méi)錯(cuò)。自那次以后，他再也沒(méi)有釣上過(guò)那么大的魚了。但每次他面臨道德難題而舉棋不定的時(shí)候，他的眼前再三浮現(xiàn)出那條魚。
For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult. Do we do right when no one is looking? Do we refuse to cut corners to get the design in on time? Or refuse to trade stocks based on information that we know we aren't supposed to have?
他父親曾告訴他，道德即是簡(jiǎn)單的對(duì)和錯(cuò)的問(wèn)題，但要付諸行動(dòng)卻很難。在沒(méi)人瞧見(jiàn)的時(shí)候，我們是否仍遵循道德準(zhǔn)則?為了將圖紙按時(shí)完成，我們是不是也會(huì)走捷徑?或者在明知道不可以的情況下，仍將公司股份賣掉?
We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young. For we would have learned the truth. The decision to do right lives fresh and fragrant in our memory.
在我們還小的時(shí)候，如果有人教導(dǎo)我們把魚放回去，我們會(huì)這樣做，因?yàn)槲覀冞€在學(xué)習(xí)真理。正確的決定在我們的記憶里變得深刻而清晰。
It is a story we will proudly tell our friends and grandchildren. Not about how we had a chance to beat the system and took it， but about how we did the right thing and were forever strengthened.
這個(gè)故事我們可以驕傲地講給朋友和子孫們聽(tīng)，不是關(guān)于如何攻擊和戰(zhàn)勝某種體制，而是如何做正確的決定，從而變得無(wú)比堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。

The unseen power of love 無(wú)形的愛(ài)的力量
I will greet this day with love in my heart.xiao84.com
我要用全身心的愛(ài)來(lái)迎接今天。
For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.
因?yàn)?，這是一切成功的最大秘密。強(qiáng)力能夠劈開(kāi)一塊盾牌，甚至毀滅生命，但是只有愛(ài)才具有無(wú)與倫比的力量，使人們敞開(kāi)心扉。在掌握了愛(ài)的藝術(shù)之前，我只算商場(chǎng)上的無(wú)名小卒。我要讓愛(ài)成為我最大的武器，沒(méi)有人能抵擋它的威力。
My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.
我的理論，他們也許反對(duì);我的言談，他們也許懷疑;我的穿著，他們也許不贊成;我的長(zhǎng)相，他們也許不喜歡;甚至我廉價(jià)出售的商品都可能使他們將信將疑，然而我的愛(ài)心一定能溫暖他們，就像太陽(yáng)的光芒能溶化冰冷的凍土。
And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
我該怎樣做呢?從今往后，我對(duì)一切都要滿收愛(ài)心，這樣才能獲得新生。我愛(ài)太陽(yáng)，它溫暖我的身體;我愛(ài)雨水。它洗凈我的靈魂;我愛(ài)光明，它為我指引道路;我也愛(ài)黑夜，它讓我看到星辰、我迎接快樂(lè)，它使我心胸開(kāi)闊;我忍受悲傷，它升華我的靈魂;我接受報(bào)酬。因?yàn)槲覟榇烁冻龊顾?我不怕困難，因?yàn)樗鼈兘o我挑戰(zhàn)。
And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.
我該怎樣說(shuō)呢?我贊美敵人。敵人于是成為朋友;我鼓勵(lì)朋友，朋友于是成為手足。我要常想理由贊美別人，絕不搬弄是非，道人長(zhǎng)短。想要批評(píng)人時(shí)，咬住舌頭，想要贊美人時(shí)，高聲表達(dá)。
Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.
飛鳥(niǎo)，清風(fēng)，海浪，自然界的萬(wàn)物不都在用美妙動(dòng)聽(tīng)的歌聲贊美造物主嗎?我也要用同樣的歌聲贊美她的兒女。從今往后，我要記住這個(gè)秘密。它將改變我的生活。
And how will I act? I will love all manner of men for each has qualities to be admired even though they be hidden. With love I will tear down the wall of suspicion and hate which they have built round their hearts and in its place will I build bridges so that my love may enter their souls.
我該如何行動(dòng)呢?我要把愛(ài)奉獻(xiàn)給所有的人，因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人都有令人欽佩的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)，雖然有時(shí)不易察覺(jué)。我要用愛(ài)擊垮阻礙人們心靈自由溝通的懷疑與仇恨之墻，同時(shí)，我要用我的愛(ài)在人們之間搭建一座橋梁，使我的愛(ài)能自如地進(jìn)駐他們的靈魂。
I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me! I will love the failures for they can teach me. I will love the kings for they are but human; I will love the meek for they are divine. I will love the rich for they are yet lonely.
我愛(ài)雄心勃勃的人，因?yàn)樗麄兡芗?lì)我!我愛(ài)失敗者，因?yàn)樗麄兡芙逃?。我?ài)王侯，他們也是凡人。我愛(ài)弱者，他們也是天才。我愛(ài)富人，他們更寂寞。
I will love the poor for they are so many. I will love the young for the faith they hold; I will love the old for the wisdom they share. I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness; I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.
我愛(ài)貧者，因?yàn)樨氄呱醵?。我?ài)少年，因?yàn)樗麄兗冋?。我?ài)長(zhǎng)者，因?yàn)樗麄冾Ｖ?。我?ài)貌美的人，因?yàn)樗麄冇袘n郁的眼神。我愛(ài)丑陋的人，因?yàn)樗麄冇蓄w平靜的心。
But how will I react to the actions of others? With love. For just as love is my weapon to open the hearts of men, love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains.
我該他們的行為做出怎樣的反應(yīng)呢?愛(ài)吧。因?yàn)閻?ài)不僅是開(kāi)啟人們心靈的鑰匙，而且也是低檔仇恨之箭與憤怒之矛的盾牌。有了愛(ài)，即使逆境與挫折如鋒利的長(zhǎng)矛攻擊我的心盾，也都會(huì)變得如細(xì)雨般溫柔。
And how will I confront each whom I meet? In only one way. In silence and myself I will address him and say “I love you”. Though spoken in silence these words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkled my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his heart will be opened.
我該如何面對(duì)與我不期而遇的每個(gè)人呢?只有一種辦法，就是默默地祝福他，并說(shuō)“我愛(ài)你”。那閃現(xiàn)在我的眼神中的無(wú)言的愛(ài)，會(huì)舒展我緊縮的眉頭，讓我會(huì)心的微笑攀至嘴角，在我的聲音中回蕩;于是，他將向我敞開(kāi)心扉。
初二英語(yǔ)美文摘抄篇三
Relish the Moment 品味現(xiàn)在
Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls. xiao84.com
在我們的潛意識(shí)之中隱藏著一派田園詩(shī)般的風(fēng)景。我們仿佛處在一次橫跨大陸的迢迢旅途之中。我們乘著火車，領(lǐng)略著窗外流動(dòng)的景色：附近公路上馳騁的汽車、十字路口處揮手的孩童、遠(yuǎn)處山坡上吃草的牛群、不斷從電廠排放出的煙霧、成片成片的玉米和小麥、平原和山谷、群山和綿延起伏的丘陵、天空襯托下城市的輪廓，以及鄉(xiāng)間的莊園宅第。
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering — waiting,waiting, waiting for the station.
可是我們心中想得最多的卻是最后的目的地。在某一天的某一時(shí)刻，我們的火車將會(huì)到站，迎接我們的將是演奏的樂(lè)隊(duì)和飄舞的旗幟。一旦到了那兒，多少美妙的夢(mèng)將成為現(xiàn)實(shí)，我們的生活也將變得完整，好像一幅拼好了的拼圖。我們?cè)谲噹^(guò)道里煩躁不安地踱來(lái)踱去，咒罵火車的磨磨蹭蹭，等待著，等待著，等待著火車進(jìn)站的時(shí)刻。
“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 18.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz.” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I have paid off the mortgage.” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!”
“當(dāng)我們到站后，一切就好了!”我們呼喊著。“當(dāng)我到18歲的時(shí)候。”“當(dāng)我有了一輛新的450SL奔馳轎車的時(shí)候。”“當(dāng)我供最小的孩子念完大學(xué)的時(shí)候。”“當(dāng)我還清抵押貸款的時(shí)候。”“當(dāng)我升官晉職的時(shí)候。”“當(dāng)我到了退休的時(shí)候，從此就可以過(guò)上幸福的生活啦!”
Sooner or later, we must realize that there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly out distances us.
可是我們遲早會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)到人生之旅并沒(méi)有什么車站，也沒(méi)有什么能夠“一到就可永逸”的地方。人生的真正樂(lè)趣在于旅行的過(guò)程，而車站僅僅是個(gè)夢(mèng)，它總是遙遙領(lǐng)先于我們。
“Relish the moment” is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
“品味現(xiàn)在”是一句很好的箴言，尤其是把它與《圣經(jīng)·詩(shī)篇》中第118篇第24段的話相結(jié)合的時(shí)候，更是如此：“今日乃主所創(chuàng)造;生活在今日我們將歡欣、高興。”讓人發(fā)瘋的不是今天的負(fù)擔(dān)，而是對(duì)昨天的悔恨及對(duì)明天的恐懼?；诤藓涂謶质且粚?duì)孿生竊賊，將今天從我們身邊偷走。
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more icecream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunset, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
那么就停止在車廂過(guò)道里徘徊吧，別總惦記著你距離車站還有多遠(yuǎn)。何不換種活法，去攀爬更多的高山，多吃點(diǎn)冰激淋解解饞，經(jīng)常光著腳閑游漫步，在更多的河流里暢游，多多欣賞夕陽(yáng)西下，多點(diǎn)歡笑，少些淚花。生活要過(guò)在當(dāng)下，車站會(huì)很快到達(dá)。
