1“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield
when I first read this line by England's Poet Laureate, it startled me.What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true.But his sober assurance was arresting.I could not forget it.Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation.The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud.Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it.The grass is greener;bird songs are sweeter;the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable.Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you.Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall.Happy, the wall crumbles.The long vista is there for the seeing.The ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene.Everything assumes a fairer proportion.And here is the beginning of wisdom.经典的英语美文欣赏
2All this happened more than a decade ago.On the afternoon before Chinese New Year's Day I went to visit a friend in the suburbs of Chongqing.She lived on the top floor of the village office building.A flight of dark, narrow stairs led to a room where a table and several bamboo stools stood and a telephone hung on the wall.Beyond this room, separated by a mere cloth curtain, was the room where my friend lived.She had gone out, leaving a note on the desk by the window saying that she had been called away unexpectedly and wanted me to wait for her to come back.I sat down at her desk, picked up a newspaper and started reading.Suddenly I heard the wooden door of the outside room open with a squeak.Shortly after, I heard someone moving a bamboo stool.I lifted the curtain and looked, only to find a small girl of about eight or nine.She had a pale thin face, and her lips were frozen purple because of the cold.Her hair was cut short and she was dressed in worn-out clothes.She wore no socks, only a pair of straw sandals.She was climbing onto the bamboo stool, trying to get hold of the receiver;but she quickly withdrew her hand as if startled at the sight of me.I asked her, Do you want to make a phone call? Yes, she nodded as she climbed off the stool, I want to call the hospital.I want Dr Hu.Mum has just spat up a lot of blood!Do you know the phone number? I asked.She shook her head and said, I was just going to ask the Telephone Service for it....I immediately looked in the directory beside the telephone and soon found the number.Then I asked her again;If I get the doctor where should I tell him to go? Just tell her Wang Chunlin's wife is ill, and she will come, she replied.I made the phone call and got through to the doctor.The girl gratefully thanked me and turned to leave straight away.I stopped her and asked, Is your home far from here? Just down in the valley, under the big yellow fruit tree, she told me, pointing outside the window.It takes only a couple of minutes to get there.With these words, she clattered downstairs.Returning to my friend's room I read the newspaper from cover to cover, then picked up the Three Hundred Tang Poems and went through half of it.It was getting more and more overcast outside, yet there was no sign of my friend.Bored, I stood up, looked out the window, and watched the hazy mountain scenery in the thick fog.I spotted the small hut under the yellow fruit tree, and suddenly got the idea that I should visit the little girl and her sick mother.I went downstairs, bought a few big oranges from the hawker at the door, put them into my handbag, and walked along the uneven slabstone path down to the hut.I knocked softly on the wooden door.The young girl I had met just now answered.Seeing me, she was a little taken aback at first, but soon began to smile and beckoned me in.On the plank bed against the wall her mother was lying on her back, her eyes closed.She must have gone to sleep.There were blood stains spattered on the bedclothes round her neck.Her face was turned to the wall, and I could only see tangled wisps of hair across her face and the coil at the back of her head.There was a small charcoal stove by the door, and on it a small, simmering casserole.The girl bade me sit down on the foot-stool in front of the stove, she herself squatting beside me, sizing me up.Has the doctor been? Yes, she gave Mum an injection....She's quite OK now.Then she added, as if to console me, Don't worry.The doctor will come again in the morning.Has your mum eaten anything? What's in here? I asked, pointing to the casserole.She smiled, and replied, It's yam porridge, our New Year's Eve dinner.I suddenly remembered the oranges I had brought with me.I took them out and put them on the bedside table.The girl said nothing, just quietly reached her hand out for the biggest one.She cut the peel off the top with a knife, and deftly peeled the rest of the orange with her fingers.Who else lives here with you? I asked her in a low voice.No one else right now.My dad went somewhere,...she did not finish.She slowly took out the orange segments and laid them beside her mother's pillow.The tiny fire in the stove gradually died down, and it was getting dark outside.I stood up to go.The little girl held me back, quickly and deftly took out a big needle with a linen thread and worked at the bowl-shaped orange peel.She linked the opposite corners in such a way as to make a small basket, which she hung on a thin bamboo stick.She then took the stub of a candle from the windowsill, placed it in the orange peel basket, and lit it.When she had done all this, she handed the lamp to me, saying, It's dark now, and the road is slippery.Let this little orange lamp light the way for you up the mountain.I accepted the lamp with admiration, and thanked her.She came out to see me off.I did not know what to say.Again, as if to console me, she spoke.Dad will soon come back.Then Mum will be well.She drew a circle in the air with her small hand, and then pressed it on mine, and said, Then, we will all be well.Obviously, her all included me.Holding this ingeniously-made little lamp, I walked slowly up the dark, wet mountain path.In truth, the dim orange light could not reach very far.However, the little girl's calmness and courage, and her optimism, made me feel as though the way in front of me was boundlessly illuminated.My friend had come back.Seeing me with the little orange lamp, she asked me where I had been.I told her, I've been to...to Wang Chunlin's.She was astonished.Wang Chunlin, the carpenter? How did you come to know him? Some students from the medical college down at the foot of the mountain were arrested last year.Later, Wang Chunlin disappeared.It was said that he had often carried messages for those students...I left the mountain village that night, and have not heard of the little girl and her mother since.But I recall the little orange lamp every Chinese New Year.Twelve years have passed.Her father must have come back long ago, and her mother got well.For we are all well now.以上就是小编为大家准备的短篇中英文美文，生活有时候困难得难以置信，但又不容置疑。我们面临的挑战与困境似乎无法抵御，试图毁灭我们生活，甚至使你犹疑是否继续走下去。但是你总有选择的余地。从人生低谷走向新生活的杰西卡·赫斯乐普，在这里与我们分享她启迪心灵、充满震撼力的生活之旅。我们不需要献出自己的生命，我们只要在困难面前保持微笑，使困难迎刃而解，并永不放弃。只要这样，才有拥有美好的人生！

第五篇：英语美文100篇·中英文对照,附带美图
谈一场恋爱就像读一本新书
Starting a new book is a risk, just like falling in love.You have to commit to it.You open the pages knowing a little bit about it maybe, from the back or from a blurb on the front.But who knows, right? Those bits and pieces aren’t always right.读一本新书恰似坠入爱河，是场冒险。你得全身心投入进去。翻开书页之时，从序言简介直至封底你或许都知之甚少。但谁又不是呢？字里行间的只言片语亦不总是正确。
Sometimes people advertise themselves as one thing and then when you get deep into it you realize that they’re something completely different.Either there was some good marketing attached to a terrible book, or the story was only explained in a superficial way and once you reach the middle of the book, you realize there’s so much more to this book than anyone could have ever told you.有时候你会发现，人们自我推销时是一种形象，等你再深入了解后，他们又完全是另一种模样了。有时拙作却配有出色的市场推销，故事的叙述却流于表面，阅读过半后，你方才发觉：这本书真是出乎意料地妙不可言，这种感受只要靠自己去感悟！
You start off slow.The story is beginning to unfold.You’re unsure.It’s a big commitment lugging this tome around.Maybe this book won’t be that great but you’ll feel guilty about putting it down.Maybe it’ll be so awful you’ll keep hate-reading or just set it down immediately and never pick it up again.Or maybe you’ll come back to it some night, drunk or lonely — needing something to fill the time, but it won’t be any better than it was when you first started reading it.你慢慢翻页，故事开始缓慢展开，而你却依旧心存犹疑。阅读这样的巨著需要百分之百的投入。或许它并不是你想象中的伟大的作品，奈何半途弃读会使你觉得不安。又或许，故事真的很烂，你要么咬牙苦读下去，要么立刻放弃束之高阁。抑或某个酒醉或孤寂的夜晚，你又重新捡起这本书来——但只为打发时光。不管怎样，它并没有比你初次阅读时好多少。Maybe you’re worn out.You’ve read tons of books before.Some were just light weights on a Kindle or Nook, no big deal really.Others were Infinite Jest-style burdens, heavy on your back or in your purse.Weighing you down all the time.Maybe you’ve taken some time off from reading because the last few books you read just weren’t worth it.Do they even write new, great works of literature anymore? Maybe that time you fell in love with a book before will just never happen for you again.Maybe it’s a once in a lifetime feeling and you’re never gonna find it again.或许你已疲惫至极。你曾阅览无数，有些无足轻重无甚重要，而有些却像荒诞讽刺的包袱，沉重地压在你背上或藏在你行囊里，随时都可能压垮你。或许因为上次读的书索然无味，你已暂时避开阅读时光。还会有优秀的新文学作品么？只怕等你再次恋上一本书前，那优秀的新作品永远也不会出现罢。或许这真的就是千年等一回、除却巫山不是云了。
Or something exciting could happen.Maybe this will become your new favorite book.That’s always a possibility right? That’s the beauty of risk.The reward could actually be worth it.You invest your time and your brain power in the words and what you get back is empathy and a new understanding and pure wonder.当然，生活总会有新鲜事发生，你也会有新的爱书。一切总有可能，不是吗？这正是冒险的魅力。得到的也大抵物有所值吧。你在字里行间播撒时间和心思，自然便可收获新的感悟、理解与遐思。
How could someone possibly know you like this? Some stranger, some author, some character.It’s like they’re seeing inside your soul.This book existed inside some book store, on a shelf, maybe handled by other people and really it was just waiting for you pick it up and crack the spine.It was waiting to speak to you.To say, “You are not alone.”
怎会有人知道你喜欢它呢？某个陌生人、作者，抑或书中的某个角色。他们似乎能看透你的心思。这本书，它陈列在某隅书店的书架上、它经人辗转，真的就像是在等你捧起翻阅，等着向你低语：“我会伴你左右。”
You just want more of the story.You want to keep reading, maybe everything this author’s ever written.You wish it would never end.The closer it gets to the smaller side of the pages, the slower you read, wanting to savor it all.This book is now one of your favorites forever.You will always wish you could go back to never having read it and pick it up fresh again, but also you know you’re better for having this close, inside you, covering your heart and mind.你渴望更多故事，你继续阅读，甚至搜集这位作者以往所有作品。你希望故事永远延续。书页越翻越薄，你也越读越慢，心里想着要细细含英咀华。此刻，它确定无疑就是你永恒的至爱了。你总想一读再读，每次捧起它都感觉新奇如初，而你也明白：因为内心深处的每一缕思绪都与它这般亲密，你已变得更加美好。Once you get in deep enough, you know you could never put this book down.情动至深那刻，你便知道自己再也将它割舍不下了。
来自内心的礼物
The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.-Eric Hoffer 世界上最难的算术题是如何清点我们的祝福。
According to legend, a young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water.The water was so sweet, he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher.据传说，一个年轻的男子在漫游沙漠途中看到一泉如水晶般清澈而可口的水。水的味道非常甜美，于是他灌满了他的皮水壶，这样就可以带一些回去，送给曾经是他老师的部落长老。After a four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water.The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.经过四天的旅程，他把水呈献给老人。老人深饮一口，和蔼地笑了笑，并深切感激学生赠予他甜美的水。年轻人怀着愉快的心情回到了村庄。
Later, the teacher let another student taste the water.He spat it out, saying it was awful.It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container.后来，老师让他的另一个学生品尝水。学生吐了出来，说水太难喝了。它显然已经因为陈旧的皮革容器而变得不再新鲜。The student challenged his teacher: “Master, the water was foul.Why did you pretend to like it?” 学生质疑他的老师：“师父，水是臭的，你为什么要假装喜欢它？”
The teacher replied, “You only tasted the water.I tasted the gift.The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter.” 老师回答说，“你只品尝了水的味道，我却是在品尝礼物的味道。水仅仅是装载善与爱之行为的容器，而没有什么东西比善与爱更甜美了。”
I think we understand this lesson best when we receive innocent gifts of love from young children.Whether it's a ceramic tray or a macaroni bracelet, the natural and proper response is appreciation and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift.我认为当我们从天真的孩子们那里收到爱的礼物时，能够最透彻地明白这个道理。无论它是一个陶瓷托盘或通心粉手镯，我们自然而恰当的反应是欣赏，并表示感激，因为我们喜欢礼物所包含的心意。
Gratitude doesn't always come naturally.Unfortunately, most children and many adults value only the thing given rather than the feeling embodied in it.We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty and purity of feelings and expressions of gratitude.After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.感恩并不总是自然而来的。不幸的是，大多数儿童和成人只看重被赠予的东西本身，而不是它体现的情谊。我们应该提醒自己，并教导我们的孩子，感情和对感激之情的表达是美丽而纯洁的。毕竟，发自内心给与的礼物才是真正的礼物。
感恩生活
If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive thoughts.When we are stressed, depressed, upset, or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we perceive that “bad things” keep happening to us, it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive.If we don't, we will only attract more “bad things.” 如果你感觉生活对你来说实在是糟糕之极，你可以挑战着想些积极的东西。当我们不堪重负、沮丧、失落，抑或因为我们认为倒霉的事总是光临我们而处于消极状态时，将这些消极的思想转变为积极的至关重要。如果我们不这么做，只会招致更多的霉运。
It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but I can assure you that someone, somewhere is worse off than you.We can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps.有如此之多消极因素还要想些积极的东西，通常情况下这很难，但我可以保证，在某个地方有人比你情况还糟。我们可以换种方式，一步一步细细思考那些消极的东西。
If you start with one small, positive thing and repeat it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation: positive thoughts, feelings, opportunities and people will start showing up in your life.With practice, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, irregardless of the events around you.从一件积极的小事情开始，并且一整天就一直重复想着，你将进入一个更加积极的状态：积极的思想、情感、机遇、人们开始装扮你的人生。这样练下去，很快你会发现你将改变你的观点，选择快乐的生活，而不在意周围那些琐事。
Here are a few examples for you to practice.Say them out loud and with feeling!下面有一些方法供你选择练习。要有感情的把它们大声说出来。
1.Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful, glorious day!” 在每一天开始和结束的时候，说一句“感谢这么一个愉快的一天”。
2.When you see the gas prices hiking, say “I am so glad that I am blessed to have a vehicle in which to get around.” 燃气价格高涨的时候，说“我很高兴我至少还有着这辆车可以到处兜风。”
3.When you are late for work, say “I am so happy and grateful for my job as I know that many don't have one.” 上班迟到时，说“我很幸福并感激我的工作，因为我知道很多人还没有工作。”
4.If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: “I really do appreciate my eyes that see, my ears that hear, my mouth that tastes, my legs that walk, my arms that lift, my hands that write, my mind that thinks, my knees that bend and my tongue that talks.” The possibilities here are endless: insert what does work for you and feel good about it!如果你的健康出了问题，对目前所拥有的要心存感激：“我真的感激我的眼睛还能看，我的耳朵还能听，我的嘴还能品味，我的双腿还能行走，我的双臂还能抬起，我的双手还能写字，我还能思考，我的双膝还能弯曲，我还能说话”。这儿有无穷尽的种种可能：珍惜你所拥有的，并善待它们！
5.Write down what you're grateful for each day.In moments when you're feeling really down, read what you wrote previously.This will help uplift your spirits.If you practice this regularly, you will find that your list will get longer and longer.记下每天让你感激的事，每当你失落的时候，读一读你曾经写下的心情，这会让你从新振作起来。经常这样练习去，你会发现你所感激的东西越来越多。
The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of blissful peace.The more you practice, the happier you'll be.转为积极情绪并长久保持着这种状态的关键在于为自己创造幸福、宁静的一刻。练的越多，你就越幸福。
家 Home on the Way 旅人的家
People need homes: children assume their parents' place as home;boarders call school “home” on weekdays;married couples work together to build new homes;and travelers „ have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights.人人都需要家：小孩子把父母的住所当做自己的家；寄宿生在平日把学校称为“家”；结了婚的夫妻要共同营造自己的新家；至于旅者呢„„至少有几晚他们要住在不能称为“家”的地方！
So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.那么那些不得不长期出门在外的人怎么办？难道他们无权拥有一个家吗？他们当然有！
Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are;some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants;others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely.Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home--only mobile!有些经常出门的旅者会随身携带些属于自己的日用品，像床单、枕套或全家福相片等，无论走到哪里，这些东西都能带给他们家的感觉；有些人在长驻时会待在同一家旅馆里，使他们对店里的服务和人员都非常熟稔；再有的就可能只是在旅馆的窗边摆些花，使房间更像个家。此外，一路开着露营车旅行，晚上就住在车里，这就更像是真正的家了――只不过能移动而已！
And how about maintaining relationships while in transit? Some keep contact with their friends via internet;some send letters and postcards, or even photos;others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well.People find ways to keep in touch.Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home.Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, even closer than siblings.那人们在旅程穿梭时，又是如何维系关系的呢？有些人通过互联网跟朋友联络；有些人寄信、明信片，甚至照片；还有些人可能只是打个电话问声好，目的仅是让朋友们知道他们还活着，而且活得不错。人们发现了各种各样的联络方式。在旅途中交朋友能帮旅者或多或少地找到一点家的感觉。青年旅店里的背包客也许会成为非常要好的朋友，甚至比手足还要亲！Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found.Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make the place we stay “home”.如今，大多数人都是离乡在外工作，那么人们又如何能有归属感呢？一旦我们走出家门，就总有另一个“家”在等着我们去寻找。不论身处何处，只要稍加努力和想像，我们就能把栖身之地营造成一个“家”！
