傷感和憐憫是偉大的人類情感,無(wú)論什么時(shí)期,都不應(yīng)當(dāng)被我們遺棄——當(dāng)你目睹各種有形無(wú)形的暴力正在發(fā)生時(shí),你也會(huì)是那個(gè)傷感的人嗎?下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編帶來(lái)的憂傷的英語(yǔ)文章，歡迎閱讀!

　　憂傷的英語(yǔ)文章1

　　To buy an hour from father-Samuel

　　向爸爸買一個(gè)小時(shí)

　　A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

　　一個(gè)人工作到很晚，帶著疲憊與憤怒回到家里，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)5歲大的兒子正在門口等他。

　　“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

　　“爸爸，我可以問(wèn)你一個(gè)問(wèn)題嗎?”

　　“Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.

　　“當(dāng)然，什么問(wèn)題?”

　　“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

　　“爸爸，你一個(gè)小時(shí)賺多少錢?”

　　“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.

　　“這不關(guān)你的事。怎么問(wèn)這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)題?”父親生氣地說(shuō)道。

　　“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.

　　“我只是想知道。請(qǐng)告訴我吧，你一個(gè)小時(shí)賺多少錢?”小男孩乞求地說(shuō)。

　　“If you must know, I make an hour.”

　　“真想知道就告訴你吧，我一小時(shí)賺20美元。”

　　“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow ?”

　　“噢，”男孩說(shuō)著，低下了頭。接著，他抬起頭來(lái)問(wèn)：“爸爸，我可以借你10美元錢嗎?”

　　The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.”

　　父親生氣了：“如果你問(wèn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題，只是為了借錢買無(wú)聊的玩具或其他沒(méi)用的東西，那就趕緊回你的房間睡覺(jué)去。想想你怎么會(huì)這么自私。我每天工作這么辛苦，得到的竟是這樣幼稚愚蠢的舉動(dòng)。”

　　The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that and he really didn’t ask for money very often.

　　小男孩靜靜地走進(jìn)自己的房間，關(guān)上了門。這個(gè)人坐下后，更加為這個(gè)男孩的問(wèn)題生氣了。這孩子怎么敢問(wèn)這樣的問(wèn)題，就為了借些錢呢?大約過(guò)了一個(gè)小時(shí)，他才平靜下來(lái)了，開(kāi)始想：也許他真的需要這10美元買什么東西呢，他并不是經(jīng)常要錢花。

　　The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.

　　于是這個(gè)人走到小男孩的門口，打開(kāi)了門。

　　“Are you asleep, son?” He asked.

　　“你睡了嗎，孩子?”他問(wèn)。

　　“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

　　“沒(méi)有呢，爸爸。我醒著，”男孩回答。

　　“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man, “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the you asked for.”

　　“我在想，可能剛才我對(duì)你太嚴(yán)厲了，”父親說(shuō)，“經(jīng)過(guò)漫長(zhǎng)的一天，我把怒氣都發(fā)到你身上了。這是你要的10美元。”

　　The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you daddy!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

　　小男孩坐直了身子，笑了：“噢，謝謝爸爸!”他忍不住呼喊起來(lái)。接著，他伸手到枕頭底下，拿出一把皺巴巴的鈔票?？吹侥泻⒁呀?jīng)有錢了，父親又忍不住要發(fā)火。小男孩慢慢地?cái)?shù)著錢，然后抬頭看著父親。

　　“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.

　　“既然你已經(jīng)有錢了，為什么還要更多錢?”父親粗魯?shù)乇г拐f(shuō)。

　　“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

　　“因?yàn)槲业腻X不夠，不過(guò)現(xiàn)在夠了，”小男孩回答，“爸爸，我現(xiàn)在有20美元了，我可以買你一小時(shí)的時(shí)間嗎?請(qǐng)你明天早點(diǎn)下班，我想和你一起吃晚飯。”

　　寫給女兒的信

　　The Letter for My daughter

　　16:寫給女兒的信

　　Dear Malia and Sasha,

　　親愛(ài)的馬莉亞和莎夏：

　　I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have.

　　我知道這兩年你們倆隨我一路競(jìng)選都有過(guò)不少樂(lè)子，野餐、游行、逛州博覽會(huì)，吃了各種或許我和你媽不該讓你們吃的垃圾食物。然而我也知道，你們倆和你媽的日子，有時(shí)候并不愜意。

　　But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart.

　　新來(lái)的小狗雖然令你們興奮，卻無(wú)法彌補(bǔ)我們不在一起的所有時(shí)光。

　　I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

　　我明白這兩年我錯(cuò)過(guò)的太多了，今天我要再向你們說(shuō)說(shuō)為何我決定帶領(lǐng)我們一家走上這趟旅程。

　　When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me--about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want.

　　當(dāng)我還年輕的時(shí)候，我認(rèn)為生活就該繞著我轉(zhuǎn)：我如何在這世上得心應(yīng)手，成功立業(yè)，得到我想要的。

　　But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore.

　　后來(lái)，你們倆進(jìn)入了我的世界，帶來(lái)的種種好奇、淘氣和微笑，總能填滿我的心，照亮我的日子。突然之間，我為自己譜寫的偉大計(jì)劃顯得不再那么重要了。

　　I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours.

　　我很快便發(fā)現(xiàn)，我在你們生命中看到的快樂(lè)，就是我自己生命中最大的快樂(lè)。而我也同時(shí)體認(rèn)到，如果我不能確保你們此生能夠擁有追求幸福和自我實(shí)現(xiàn)的一切機(jī)會(huì)，我自己的生命也沒(méi)多大價(jià)值。

　　In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

　　總而言之，我的女兒，這就是我競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)的原因：我要讓你們倆和這個(gè)國(guó)家的每一個(gè)孩子，都能擁有我想要給他們的東西。

　　I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential--schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them.

　　我要讓所有兒童都在能夠發(fā)掘他們潛能的學(xué)校就讀;這些學(xué)校要能挑戰(zhàn)他們，激勵(lì)他們，并灌輸他們對(duì)身處的這個(gè)世界的好奇心。

　　I want them to have the chance to go to college--even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

　　我要他們有機(jī)會(huì)上大學(xué)，那怕他們的父母并不富有。而且我要他們能找到好的工作：薪酬高還附帶健康保險(xiǎn)的工作，讓他們有時(shí)間陪孩子、并且能帶著尊嚴(yán)退休的工作。

　　I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer.

　　我要大家向發(fā)現(xiàn)的極限挑戰(zhàn)，讓你在有生之年能夠看見(jiàn)改善我們生活、使這個(gè)行星更干凈、更安全的新科技和發(fā)明。

　　And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

　　我也要大家向自己的人際界限挑戰(zhàn)，跨越使我們看不到對(duì)方長(zhǎng)處的種族、地域、性別和宗教樊籬。

　　Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country--but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe.

　　有時(shí)候?yàn)榱吮Ｗo(hù)我們的國(guó)家，我們不得不把青年男女派到戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)或其它危險(xiǎn)的地方，然而當(dāng)我們這么做的時(shí)候，我要確保師出有名，我們盡了全力以和平方式化解與他人的爭(zhēng)執(zhí)，也想盡了一切辦法保障男女官兵的安全。

　　And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free--that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.

　　我要每個(gè)孩子都明白，這些勇敢的美國(guó)人在戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上捍衛(wèi)的福祉是無(wú)法平白得到的：在享有作為這個(gè)國(guó)家公民的偉大特權(quán)之際，重責(zé)大任也隨之而來(lái)。

　　That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

　　這正是我在你們這年紀(jì)時(shí)，外婆想要教我的功課，她把獨(dú)立宣言開(kāi)頭幾行念給我聽(tīng)，告訴我有一些男女為了爭(zhēng)取平等挺身而出游行抗議，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為兩個(gè)世紀(jì)前白紙黑字寫下來(lái)的這些句子，不應(yīng)只是空話。

　　She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better--and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

　　她讓我了解到，美國(guó)所以偉大，不是因?yàn)樗昝溃且驗(yàn)槲覀兛梢圆粩嘧屗兊酶?，而讓它更好的未竟工作，就落在我們每個(gè)人的身上。這是我們交給孩子們的責(zé)任，每過(guò)一代，美國(guó)就更接近我們的理想。

　　I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had.

　　我希望你們倆都愿接下這個(gè)工作，看到不對(duì)的事要想辦法改正，努力幫助別人獲得你們有過(guò)的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much--although you do have that obligation.

　　這并非只因國(guó)家給了我們一家這么多，你們也當(dāng)有所回饋，雖然你們的確有這個(gè)義務(wù)，而是因?yàn)槟銈儗?duì)自己負(fù)有義務(wù)。

　　But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

　　因?yàn)?，唯有在把你的馬車套在更大的東西上時(shí)，你才會(huì)明白自己真正的潛能有多大。

　　These are the things I want for you--to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world.

　　這些是我想要讓你們得到的東西：在一個(gè)夢(mèng)想不受限制、無(wú)事不能成就的世界中長(zhǎng)大，長(zhǎng)成具慈悲心、堅(jiān)持理想，能幫忙打造這樣一個(gè)世界的女性。

　　And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

　　我要每個(gè)孩子都有和你們一樣的機(jī)會(huì)，去學(xué)習(xí)、夢(mèng)想、成長(zhǎng)、發(fā)展。這就是我?guī)ьI(lǐng)我們一家展開(kāi)這趟大冒險(xiǎn)的原因。

　　I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

　　我深以你倆為榮，你們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)明白我有多愛(ài)你們，在我們準(zhǔn)備一同在白宮開(kāi)始新生活之際，我沒(méi)有一天不為你們的忍耐、沉穩(wěn)、明理和幽默而心存感激。

　　Love, Dad

　　愛(ài)你們的老爹

　　Memo From A Child To Parents

　　孩子給爸爸媽媽的備忘錄

　　這是一份《美國(guó)幼兒園給家長(zhǎng)的備忘錄》，是老師以孩子的口吻，提醒父母對(duì)待孩子時(shí)的注意事項(xiàng)，用心閱讀的家長(zhǎng)和老師從中一定都會(huì)有所啟示和收獲，也許對(duì)你教育孩子以及每個(gè)成年人對(duì)待自己的成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷與自我成長(zhǎng)及對(duì)幼小心靈的認(rèn)同有所幫助。

　　1. Don't spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I'm only testing you.

　　別溺愛(ài)我。我很清楚地知道，我不應(yīng)該得到每一樣我所要求的東西，我哭鬧不休其實(shí)只是在試探你。

　　2. Don't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it, it makes me feel secure.

　　別害怕對(duì)我保持公正的態(tài)度，這樣反倒讓我有安全感。

　　3. Don't let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.

　　別讓我養(yǎng)成壞習(xí)慣，在年幼的此刻，我得依靠你來(lái)判斷和培養(yǎng)。

　　4. Don't make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly "big".

　　別讓我覺(jué)得自己比實(shí)際的我還渺小，這只會(huì)讓我假裝出一副和我實(shí)際年齡不符的傻樣。

　　5. Don't correct me in front of people if you can help it. I'll take much more notice if you talk quietly with me in private.

　　可能的話，盡量不要在人前糾正我的錯(cuò)誤，我會(huì)感到很沒(méi)面子，進(jìn)而和你作對(duì)。你私下提醒，效果會(huì)更好。

　　6. Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins. It upsets my sense of values.

　　別讓我覺(jué)得犯了錯(cuò)就是犯了罪，它會(huì)削弱我對(duì)人生的希望。

　　7. Don't protect me from consequences. I need to learn the painful way sometimes.

　　別過(guò)度保護(hù)我，怕我無(wú)法接受某些“后果”。很多時(shí)候，我需要經(jīng)由痛苦的經(jīng)歷來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)。

　　8. Don't be too upset when I say "I hate you". Sometimes it isn't you I hate but your power to thwart me.

　　當(dāng)我說(shuō)“我恨你”的時(shí)候別往心里去。我恨的絕對(duì)不是你，我恨的是你加在我身上的那些壓力。

　　9. Don't take too much notice of my small ailments. Sometimes they get me the attention I need.

　　別太在意我的小病痛。有時(shí)，我只是想得到你的注意而已。

　　10. Don't nag. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.

　　別對(duì)我嘮叨不休，否則我會(huì)裝聾作啞。

　　11. Don't forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like. That is why I am not always accurate.

　　我有時(shí)不能把事情解釋得很清楚，會(huì)詞不達(dá)意。這也是為什么我有時(shí)不能準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)自己。

　　12. Don't put me off when I ask questions. If you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.

　　當(dāng)我問(wèn)你問(wèn)題的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)別敷衍我或者拒絕我。否則我將停止發(fā)問(wèn)，轉(zhuǎn)向它處尋求答案。

　　13. Don't be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you.

　　請(qǐng)別在管教原則上前后不一出爾反爾。這樣會(huì)讓我疑惑，進(jìn)而失去對(duì)你的信任。

　　14. Don't tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do much to reassure me if you try to understand.

　　我害怕的時(shí)候，不要覺(jué)得我很傻很可笑。如果你試著去了解，便會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我當(dāng)時(shí)有多恐懼。

　　15. Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that you are neither.

　　別對(duì)我暗示你永遠(yuǎn)正確、無(wú)懈可擊。當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)你并非如此的時(shí)候，對(duì)我將是一個(gè)多么大的打擊。

　　16. Don't ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm towards you.

　　別認(rèn)為向我道歉是沒(méi)有尊嚴(yán)的事。一個(gè)誠(chéng)懇的道歉，會(huì)讓我和你更接近，更尊重你，感覺(jué)更溫暖。

　　17. Don't forget I love experimenting. I couldn't get along without it, so please put up with it.

　　別忘記我喜歡親自嘗試，如果我不嘗試就寸步難行，所以請(qǐng)你包容。

　　18. Don't forget how quickly I am growing up. It must be very difficult for you to keep pace with me, but please do try.

　　別忘了我很快就會(huì)長(zhǎng)大，對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)，和我一起成長(zhǎng)是很不容易的事，但請(qǐng)你嘗試一下吧。

　　19. Don't forget that I don't thrive without lots of love and understanding, but I don't need to tell you, do I?

　　不要忘了離開(kāi)了厚愛(ài)和理解我不會(huì)茁壯成長(zhǎng)，但是，這一點(diǎn)我不需要提醒你吧?

　　20. Please keep yourself fit and healthy. I need you.

　　請(qǐng)保持身體健康，因?yàn)槲倚枰恪?/p>
