1Life is a Chess-board

The chess-board is the world: the pieces are the phenomena of the universe;the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature.The player on the otherside is hidden from us.We know that his play is always fair, just and patient.But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.By Thomas Henry Huxley

参考译文

棋盘宛如世界：一个个棋子仿佛世间的种种现象：游戏规则就是我们所称的自然法则。竞争对手藏于暗处，不为我们所见。我们知晓，这位对手向来处事公平，正义凛然，极富耐心。然而，我们也明白，这位对手从不忽视任何错误，或者因为我们的无知而做出一丝让步，所以我们也必须为此付出代价。It was the best of times, it was the worst of times;it was the age of wisdom,it was the age of foolishness;it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch ofincredulity;it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness;it was thespring of hope, it was the winter of despair;we had everything before us, we had nothing before us;we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going directthe other way.Excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

参考译文

这是一个最好的时代，也是一个最坏的时代；这是明智的年代，这是愚昧的年代；这是信任的纪元，这是怀疑的纪元；这是光明的季节，这是黑暗的季节；这是希望的春日，这是失望的冬日；我们面前应有尽有，我们面前一无所有；我们都将直下地狱……Equality and Greatness

Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit.Money is nothing;character, conduct, and capacity are everything.Instead of all the workers being leveled down to low wage standards and all the rich leveled up to fashionable income standards, everybody under a system of equal incomes would find his or her own natural level.There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiot whose mother had spoiled them and whose father had left a horned thousand a year;and the little

would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance.That is why idiots are always in favour of inequality ofincome(their only chance of eminence),and the really great in favour of equality.收入相当的人除了品性迥异以外没有社会差别。金钱不能说明什么；性格，行为，能力才代表一切。在收入平等制度下，每个人将会找到他或她正常的地位，而不是所有的工人被划到应拿低工资阶层，所有的富人被划到应得高收入的阶层。人有卓著伟人，平庸之辈和碌碌小人之别，然伟人总是那些有所建树之人，而非从小深受母亲溺爱，父亲每年留下一大笔钱之人；碌碌小人总是那些心胸狭窄，品德卑劣之人，而不是那些从未获取机会的穷人。愚蠢之众总是赞成收入不平等（他们职能凭借这种机会才能为人所知），而真正伟大之人则主张平等相待，原因就在于此。

4Great Expectations

As the night was fast falling, and as the moon, being past the full, would not rise early, we held a little council: a short one, for clearly our course was to lie by atthe first lonely tavern we could find.So ,they plied their oars once more, and I looked out for anything like a house.Thus we held on, speaking little, for four or five dull miles.It was very cold, and, a collier coming by us, with her gallery-fire smoking and flaring, looked like a comfortable home.The night was as dark by thistime as it would be until morning;and what light we had, seemed to come morefrom the river than the sky, as the oars in their dipping stuck at a few reflectedstars.天黑得很快，偏巧这天又是下弦月，月亮不会很早升起。我们就稍稍商量了一下，可是也用不着多讨论，因为情况是明摆着的，再划下去我们一遇到冷落的酒店就得投宿。于是他们又使劲打起浆来，我则用心寻找岸上是否隐隐约约有什么房屋的模样。这样又赶了四五英里路，一路上好不气闷，大家简直不说一句话。天气非常冷，一艘煤船从我们近旁驶过，船上厨房里生着火，炊烟缕缕，火光荧荧，在我们看来简直就是个安乐家了。这时夜已透黑，看来就要这样一直黑到天明，我们仅有的一点光亮似乎不是来自天空，而是来自河上，一浆又一浆的，搅动着那寥寥几颗倒映在水里的寒星。The doer of Deeds

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, the doer of deeds could have done them better.The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the are ‘ns, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;who strives valiantly;who errs, and comes short again and again;because there is not effort without error and shortcoming;but who does actually strive to do the deeds;who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions;who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high

achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.真正令人尊敬的并非那些评论家和那些指出强者是如何跌倒，实干家本该做得更好的人。

荣誉属于那些亲临竞技场，满脸污泥，汗水和鲜血的人。他们不懈努力，他们曾犯过过错，并一再失败。因为付出即意味着犯错和失败。他们满怀激情地努力做事，执着不懈，将生命奉献于崇高的事业。他们为经过艰辛努力最终取得的伟大成就而自豪，如果失败，他们夜败的荣耀。因而，这样的人永远不应与那些不知道胜利，也从未失败过的冷淡而胆怯的灵魂相提并论。

第二篇：英语美文

1.Waste

Mankind is wasting things everywhere and every day.Wherever we turn, we can see that paper, bottles and cans are thrown away;food is wasted just because of its poor taste;clothes are discarded simply due to their old fashion.Not only are things and money are wasted, but natural resources are abused as well.Trees are cut down merely for fuel;wildlife is killed simply for food;oil, coal and minerals are exploited in a bad way.It is time to call for an end to waste.We must save natural resources and make full use of them;otherwise human beings will be faced with the scarcity of natural resources and suffer from the pollution caused by waste.2.No Pains, No Gains

The height which great men reach and keep is not attained by a sudden flight.Most of us feel envious of the famous and successful people.We do not understand why they are so popular and honored while we are mere simple common folks.In our misconception, we think that people are prosperous because they are especially gifted or that they are “just lucky”.All these have taken root in our stubborn minds, and we refuse to believe that most great men have a mind which is the same as, or perhaps even simpler and duller than ours.Yet, their triumphs are great.Why? Because they are apt to fight difficulties with perseverance and without fatigue, undergo sufferings without minding the wounds;they realize that hardships form the road which they must pass through before reaching their destination.Their endurance is more powerful than that of ours for the simple reason that they submit without complaint to each storm in life.3.Rome Was Not Built in a Day

The good old proverb, “Rome was not built in a day,” reminds us that great things are never done without much time and labor.It takes us back to Rome, the capital of the greatest empire of the ancient world and the most brilliant city of ancient times.Indeed, Rome was built through the labors of many a great man who had been striving against difficulties.As human beings, we are eager to win merits for ourselves.It is, however, only patience as well as endurance that can help us to succeed in performing great deeds;for difficulties are in fact unavoidable, unless we do not engage in anything at all.Young people are, however, mostly impatient.Brave as they may be in the beginning, they often give up halfway in the face of what seems to be insurmountable.Most of such a type can hardly expect to succeed.4.Don’t Give Up

If we would ever accomplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere.If we would learn our lessons in school, we must be diligent and not give up whenever we come across anything difficult.We will find many of our lessons very hard, but let us consider that the harder they are the better they will be for us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly.But there are some among us who are ready to give up when they come to a hard example in mathematics, and say, “I can’t do this.” They never will if they feel so.“I can’t” never does anything worthwhile;but “I’ll try” accomplishes wonders.Let us remember that we will meet with difficulties all through life.They are in the pathway of everyone.If we will only try and keep trying, we will be sure to conquer and overcome every difficulty we meet.If we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and then we will be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.And if we learn to master hard lessons in school, it will prepare us to overcome the hard things that we will meet in life when our schooldays are over.5.Time is a Bank

Each of us has a bank whose name is TIME.Every morning, TIME credits you with 86,400 seconds.Every night it writes off, as loss, whatever of this you have failed to invest in good purposes.It carries over no balances.It allows no overdraft.Each day it opens a new account for you.Each night it burns the remains of the day.If you fail to use the day deposits, the loss is yours.There is no going back.There is no drawing against tomorrow.You must live in the present on today’s deposits.Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!The clock is running.Make the most of today.6.The College Experience

Going to college!What a thrill!It’s a trip that has everything great that you have heard about if you make it so.It is also a very serious business.To a great extent, you will be on your own.True, there are an awful lot of people ready to help you, but generally you must take the initiative and seek them out.Today’s world is full of precious knowledge, whether it be in the arts, literature, a profession, or a vocational skill.College is your chance of a lifetime to explore these areas.Each facet can be as exciting when discovered by you as it was when discovered by the original author or explorer.Let yourself explore beyond your immediate career objectives.A student in auto mechanics in most schools also can take courses in history, philosophy, music, or art.There is no reason a craftsman can’t also be a great thinker, or an explorer in the vast areas of unlimited knowledge.For a rich full life he or she should make the most of the opportunities at hand.Going to college means a lot more than earning a grade.To limit your college experience will be a waste to you and to all of people, past and present, who have invested their pennies, dimes and dollars — often at great personal sacrifice — to make educational opportunities open for you.Putting it bluntly, college is a place to be greedy — take all you can get and then some more.Thus, as you stand on the threshold of your college career, commit yourself and stand by that commitment.From the first day of class, discipline yourself to make learning fun, not a chore, and to get the most from the educational opportunities open to you.7.Friends

Friends are important.It has often been said that “No man can live like an island.” As our population increases in size, this is becoming increasingly true.A person will have trouble coping with society without friends.Friends should not be confused with acquaintances.Acquaintances are people whom you may see often.But, you could never share joy and sadness with an acquaintance.Acquaintances are usually with you for what they can get.Maybe, they like to be with you because you are popular.People usually have few friends and many acquaintances.Friends are always there when you need them.They are dependable and responsible.They share your sorrow and happiness.They are not interested in what they can get from you.They influence your development, maturity and sense of responsibility.They also warn you when you are in danger of doing wrong.Yes, friends are wonderful.It is nice to enjoy the warmth radiating from good friends.8.Don’t Cover Your Ideas

Give away everything you know and more will come back to you.You will remember from school other students preventing you from seeing their answers by placing their arms around their exercise books or exam paper.It is the same at work, and people are secretive with ideas.“Don’t tell them because they’ll take credit for it.”

The problem with hoarding is that you end up living off your reserves.Eventually you’ll become stale.If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing.This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish.Somehow the more you give away, the more comes back to you.Ideas are open knowledge.Don’t claim ownership.They’re not your ideas anyway: they’re someone else’s.They are out there floating by on the ether.You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up.9.Don’t Escape from Problems

Some people who find themselves unable to solve a problem react by just giving up.But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures.You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through: meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.If you are unhappy about something, face it.Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against.Then see if you can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness.In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem.But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.10.Think Positively

If you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there.Then just never, never, never give up.The secret of life isn’t what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.Help other people to cope with their problems and your own will be easier to cope with.Never use the word “impossible” seriously again.Toss it into the verbal wastebasket.Self-confidence is the first secret of success.So believe yourself!Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them.You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have.Joy increases as you give it and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself.In giving it, you will accumulate more joy than you ever believed possible.How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself, so always think positively.Plunge head first into life;give it all you’ve got.And life will give all it has to you.

第四篇：英语美文

;It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition.It would probably be a kinder world: without demands, without abrasions, without disappointments.People would have time for reflection(磨损).Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity.Competition would never enter in, conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past.The stress of creation would be at an end.Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions.Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor.Anxiety would be extinct.Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!

There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham(骗子).Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events? Now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating.Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one's own.But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists;that achievement counts for a great deal;and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless.To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging.It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.We do not choose to be born.We do not choose our parents.We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.We do not, most of us, choose to die;nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death.But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift.We decide what is important and what is trivial in life.We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do.But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make.We decide.We choose.And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.
