英語散文一
He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him on the niceties of behaviour; without a word of objection, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John -- a veteran procrastinator – said, "You're right. I guess I will."
他會(huì)很慷慨地把自己的磁帶借給弟弟，并告誡他如何有良好的行為舉止;他會(huì)毫無怨言地把燒爐子用的劈柴抱進(jìn)來。有一天當(dāng)我建議他在晚飯前開始做作業(yè)時(shí)，約翰這個(gè)一貫拖拉的家伙居然說：“您是對(duì)的，我想我會(huì)做的。”
When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn't know what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It must be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned it but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children in a long time, “Could this be John?" he asked, looking up to John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.
當(dāng)我對(duì)他的一個(gè)老師提起這件事，并說我不知道這是為什么時(shí)，她笑著說：“一定是因?yàn)樗拇笠?”另一個(gè)老師告訴他，她要給他一個(gè)好成績，不僅僅因?yàn)樗響?yīng)獲得，還因?yàn)樗矚g他的大衣。在圖書館里我們遇見了一位朋友，他已經(jīng)很長時(shí)間沒有看見我們的孩子了?？粗s翰長高的個(gè)子，品評(píng)著他大衣的樣式，這位朋友不禁問道：“這是約翰嗎?” 同時(shí)向約翰伸出了手，完全是紳士間的行為。
John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practising standards of excellence in though, speech, and behaviour, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
約翰和我都知道不應(yīng)該以貌取人，可穿著優(yōu)雅為世世人看，在思想上、言語上、行動(dòng)上實(shí)踐優(yōu)秀的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，以達(dá)到內(nèi)外的和諧統(tǒng)一，這又另當(dāng)別論。
Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered with a keen sting what it felt like to be in the eighth grade -- a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast panorama where all the doors are open. And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat.
有時(shí)看著約翰上學(xué)去，我就不禁怦然心動(dòng)，想起自己上8年級(jí)時(shí)的感覺——那時(shí)嘗試不同的生活方式就如同試衣服一樣簡單。整個(gè)世界、整個(gè)未來在你面前展開，猶如一幅巨大的畫卷，那里的每一扇門都敞開著。如果此刻我能回到那兒，我會(huì)在這些門間穿行，身上就穿著那件奇妙的、帶有魔力的大衣。
英語散文二
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me" said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", 'Gravity'" Over their laughter, I told them, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."
“我首先想到的是我那即將出世的女兒的幸福生活，”邁克爾答道。“當(dāng)時(shí)我躺在地上，我記起我有兩種選擇：我可以選擇活著，也可以選擇死。我選擇了活。”“你難道不害怕嗎?你失去知覺了嗎?”我問。邁克爾接著說，“……那些護(hù)理人員棒極了。他們不停地告訴我我會(huì)好的。但當(dāng)他們把我推進(jìn)手術(shù)室，我看到醫(yī)生和護(hù)士臉上的表情時(shí)，我真是嚇壞了。在他們的眼里，我讀出了‘他是個(gè)死人。’我知道我應(yīng)該采取行動(dòng)。”“你采取了什么行動(dòng)?”我問道。“有一位人高馬大的護(hù)士大聲沖我問問題，”邁克爾說。“她問我是否對(duì)什么過敏。‘是的，’我說。醫(yī)生和護(hù)士都停下手中的活兒等我回答。我深吸一口氣大聲說出，‘萬有引力。’他們的笑聲未了，我告訴他們，‘我選擇活著。把我當(dāng)活人而不是死人來做手術(shù)。’”
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I 1eamed from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is邁克爾活了下來，這要感謝他那些醫(yī)生的高明醫(yī)術(shù)，但也要?dú)w功于他那令人贊嘆的態(tài)度。我從他那里學(xué)到了我們每天都有機(jī)會(huì)充實(shí)地活著，關(guān)鍵是態(tài)度
