高中英語美文篇一
A special letter 一封特殊的信
Dear World:
親愛的世界：
My son starts school today.
我的兒子今天就要開始上學讀書了。
It's going to be strange and new to him for a while, and I wish you would sort of treat him gently.
一時之間，他會感覺陌生而又新鮮。我希望你能待他溫柔一些。
You see, up to now, he's been king of the roost.
你明白，到現(xiàn)在為止，他一直是家中的小皇帝。
He's been boss of the backyard.
一直是后院的王者。
I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to soothe his feelings.
我一直在他身旁，忙著為他治療傷口，哄他開心。
But now--things are going to be different.
但是現(xiàn)在--一切都將不同了。
This morning, he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.
今天清晨，他就要走下前門的樓梯，沖我揮手，然后開始他的偉大的歷險征程，其間或許有爭斗、不幸以及傷痛。
To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.
既然活在這個世上，他就需要信念、愛心和勇氣。
So, World, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.
所以，世界啊，我希望你能夠時不時握住他稚嫩的小手，傳授他所應當知曉的事情。
Teach him - but gently, if you can.
教育他吧--而如果可能的話，溫柔一些。
Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader; that for every enemy there is a friend.
教他知道，每有惡人之地，必有豪杰所在;每有奸詐小人，必有獻身義士;每見一敵人，必有一友在側。
Teach him the wonders of books.
教他感受書本的神奇魅力。
Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill.
給他時間靜思大自然中亙古綿傳之奧秘：空中的飛鳥，日光里的蜜蜂，青山上的簇簇繁花。
Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.
教他知道，失敗遠比欺騙更為光榮。
Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong.
教他堅定自我的信念，哪怕人人予以否認。
Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder, but never to put a price on his heart and soul.
教他可以最高價付出自己的精力和智慧，但絕不可出賣良心和靈魂。
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob...and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.
教他置暴徒的喧囂于度外……并在自覺正確之時挺身而戰(zhàn)。
Teach him gently, World, but don't coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
溫柔地教導他吧，世界，但是不要放縱他，因為只有烈火的考驗才能煉出真鋼。
This is a big order, World, but see what you can do.
這一要求甚高，世界，但是請盡你所能。
He's such a nice little fellow.
他是一個如此可愛的小家伙。
高中英語美文篇二
Promise 永恒的承諾
In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
1989年，一次8.2級的地震幾乎鏟平美國，在短短不到4分鐘的時間里，奪去了3萬多人的生命!在徹底的破壞與混亂之中，有位父親將他的妻子在家里安頓好后，跑到他兒子就讀的學校，而觸目所見，卻是被夷為平地的校園。
After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
看到這令人傷心的一幕，他想起了曾經(jīng)對兒子所作的承諾："不論發(fā)生什么事，我都會在你身邊。"至此，父親熱淚滿眶。目睹曾經(jīng)的學校成為了一堆瓦礫，真叫人絕望。但父親的腦中仍然牢記著他對兒子的諾言。
He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building; he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
他開始努力回憶每天早上送兒子上學的必經(jīng)之路，終于記起兒子的教室應該就在那幢建筑物后面，位于右邊的角落里，他跑到那兒，開始在碎石礫中挖掘，搜尋兒子的下落。
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: "It s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help! Go home! Come on, face reality, there s nothing you can do!"
當這位父親正在挖掘時，其他束手無策的學生家長趕到現(xiàn)場，揪心地叫著："我的兒子呀!" "我的女兒呀!"一些好意的家長試圖把這位父親勸離現(xiàn)場，告訴他"一切都太遲了!"他們?nèi)懒?"這樣做沒用的"，"回去吧，這樣做只會使事情更糟"。
To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school s ruins saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home." To which this loving, caring American father asked, "Are you going to help me now?"
面對種種勸告，這位父親的回答只有一句話："你們愿意幫我嗎?"然后繼續(xù)進行挖掘工作，在廢墟中尋找他的兒子。消防隊長出現(xiàn)了，他也試圖把這位父親勸走，對他說："火災頻現(xiàn)，四處都在發(fā)生爆炸，你在這里太危險了，這邊的事我們會處理，你回家吧!"對此，這位慈愛、關切的父親仍然回答："你們要幫我嗎?"
The police came and said, "You’re angry, anxious and it s over. You’re endangering others. Go home. We’ll handle it!" To which he replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son s voice. He screamed his son s name, "ARMAND!" He heard back, "Dad!?! It s me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you d save me and when you saved me, they d be saved. You promised, No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you! You did it, Dad!" "What s going on in there? How is it?" the father asked.
警察趕到現(xiàn)場，對他說："你現(xiàn)在又氣又急，該結束了，你在危及他人，回家吧!我們會處理一切的。"這位父親依舊回答："你們愿意幫我嗎?" 然而，人們無動于衷。為了弄清楚兒子是死是活，這位父親獨自一人鼓起勇氣，繼續(xù)進行他的工作。他挖掘了8小時，--12小時，24小時，36小時--38小時后，父親推開了一塊巨大的石頭，聽到了兒子的聲音。父親尖叫著："阿曼德!"兒子的回音聽到了："爸爸嗎?是我，爸，我告訴其他的小朋友不要著急。我告訴他們?nèi)绻慊钪銜砭任业?。如果我獲救了，他們也就獲救了。你答應過我， 不論發(fā)生什么，我永遠都會在你的身邊， 你做到了，爸!""你那里的情況怎樣?"父親問。
"There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We’re scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you re here. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle, and it saved us."
"我們有33個，只有14個活著。爸，我們好害怕，又渴又餓，謝天謝地，你在這兒。教室倒塌時，剛好形成一個三角形的洞，救了我們。"
"Come out, boy!"
"快出來吧!兒子!"
"No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, cause I know you ll get me! No matter what happens, I know you’ll always be there for me!"
"不，爸，讓其他小朋友先出來吧!因為我知道你會接我的!不管發(fā)生什么事，我知道你永遠都會來到我的身邊!"

Youth 青春
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and suppleknees; 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.
青春不是年華，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙熱的戀情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
Youth means a tempera-mental 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.
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚;熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of 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,cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catchwaves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣;然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
