英文短文美文欣赏 篇2

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.

如果你觉得心有余力不足，觉得缺乏前进的动力，有时候你只需要改变思维的角度。

By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.

试着训练自己的思想朝好的一面看，这样你就会汲取实现目标的动力，而不会因为消极沉沦停滞不前。

Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.

一旦变换看问题的角度，你的生活会豁然开朗，幸福快乐会接踵而来。别交出掌握命运的主动权，也别指望局面会不可思议的好转。你必须与内心希望与热情步调一致。建立自信，敢于与困难短兵相接，而非绕道而行。记住，力量不是驾驭局势的法宝，无坚不摧的能力才是最重要的。

Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”。 Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you addopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.

请坚信，美好的降临并非不可能，失误也许是成功的前奏。将惶恐化作信任，学会超越担忧和疑虑。让“诚惶诚恐”的时光变得“富有成效”。不要挥霍浪费精力，将它投到有意义的事情中去。当你下意识品尝生命的欢愉时，美好就会出现。当你积极地看待生活，并以此作为你的日常准则时，你就会找到快乐的真谛。

英文短文美文欣赏 篇3

"Time," says the proverb, "is money"。 This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets.

谚语说：“时间就是金钱。”这句话的意思是，一时片刻只要用得有效，都会让我们的口袋增添一些钱。

If our time is usefully employed, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Let those, who think nothing of wasting time, remember this.

如果我们的时间使用得当，就能生产出有用的和重要的产品，在市场上卖得一定的价钱；或者充实我们的经验，增长我们的才干，待到适当时机我们就能挣得金钱。那些对浪费时间毫不在意的人该记住这一点。

Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life.

再说，我们的生命无非就是我们的时间，因此浪费时间也就是一种自杀。我们想到死便惊恐不已，因而不惜一切努力、麻烦和费用来保全我们的生命。

But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. A day or an hour wasted is therefore so much life forfeited. Our life is a brief span measuring some seventy or eighty years in all.

可是我们对于损失一个小时或一天的时间无动于衷，忘记了我们的生命原本就是我们生活的每一天、每一小时的总和。因此浪费一天或一个小时就是丧失一天或一个小时的生命。人生短暂，总共不过七八十年。

But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea; some in merry-making; some in watching over the sick-beds of our nearest and dearest relatives.

可是将近三分之一的时间必须用睡眠；吃饭也得花去好几年；陆路海上旅游又是几年；再加上娱乐活动的几年，在病床边照看至亲至爱的几年。

Now if all these years were to be deducted from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willingly wastea single moment of his life.

现在如果从我们的寿命中扣除所有这些岁月，我们将会发现。能受我们支配的有效的工作时间大约仅二三十年而已。谁能记住这一点，谁就不会心甘情愿地浪费他生命的分分秒秒。

All time is precious; but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other portion of our existence. For those are the periods when alone we can acquire knowledge and develop our capacities.

所有的时间都是宝贵的，而我们的童年和青年时期的光阴比一生中其他阶段更为宝贵。因为只有在这两个阶段我们才能获取知识，增长才干。

If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to recoup the loss. Just as money laid out at interest doubles and trebles itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, will yield us incalculable advantages.

如果我们让这些生命的早晨时光悄悄溜走，这损失永远也无法弥补。储蓄金钱，产生利息，到时候会翻两三倍；同样，童年和青年时期的宝贵时光，如果使用得当，必将带来不可估量的利益。

短篇英语美文摘抄 篇7

We also know that Lu Xun is a man of great.Without his nobility "Fierce-browed,I wooly defy a thousand point fingers,head bowed like a willing ox I serve the children",and without his spirit of his loyalty and devotion to the last for the bright future of the Chinese people,his life would not have been so significant and so great.

Actually,didnt those regarded as essence of human who live forever in the hearts of people make great contributions to the cause of the people?Wouldnt the people remember those whose great achievements for human are recorded in history?

鲁迅先生也是个伟大人物，如果他没有"横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛"的崇高精神，如果他没有为中国人民的美好未来而鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已，其人生的意义和价值就不会这样伟大了。事实上，那些千古不朽、光照史册、堪称人类精英的伟大人物，又有哪个没有为人类的共同事业做出过巨大的贡献呢？
