第一篇:最美的英文十句话
1.One is always on a strange road, watching strange scenery and listening to strange music.Then one day, you will find that the things you try hard to forget are already gone.人总是走在陌生的路上,看着陌生的风景,听着陌生的音乐。然后有一天,你会发现你曾经努力去遗忘的东西早已变为过眼云烟。
2.Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one's hand.It's about having each tiny wish come true, or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone's love when you need love.幸福并非是长生不老、有食裹腹、有权在握。幸福的意义在于:每一个微小的心愿都能实现,饥饿时有食物,想爱时便能爱。
3.Love is a lamp, while friendship is the shadow.When the lamp is off,you will find the shadow everywhere.Friend is who can give you strength at last.爱情是灯,友情是影子,当灯灭了,你会发现你的周围都是影子。朋友,是在最后可以给你力量的人。
4.I love you not for who you are, but for who I am with you.我爱你不是因为你是谁,而是和你在一起时我会是谁。
5.Love makes man grow up or sink down.爱情要么让人成熟,要么让人堕落。
6.If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting;if you can hold something up but can never put it down,it's called burden-bearing.It is a pity, most of people are bearing heavy burdens when they are in love.拿得起放得下,是举重;拿得起放不下,是负担。很遗憾,很多恋爱中的人负着沉重的担。
7.We take a minute to know someone, one hour to like someone, and one day to love someone, but the whole life to forget someone.认识一个人只要一分钟,喜欢上一个人只要一小时,爱上一个人也不过一天时间,但是忘记一个人却需要一生。
8.One may fall in love with many people during the life time.When you finally get your own happiness, you will understand the previous sadness is kind of treasure, which makes you better to hold and cherish the people you love.一个人一生中可能会爱上很多人,但是当你找到自己的幸福时,你会发现之前的种种悲伤都是宝藏,会让你更好地珍惜你爱的人。
9.When you are young, you may want several love experiences.But as time goes on, you will realize that if you really love someone, the whole life will not be enough.You need time to know, to forgive and to love.年幼时,你可能渴望多段感情经历。但是随着年龄渐长,你会意识到当你真正爱一个人时,一辈子的时间都不够用来爱她,因为你需要时间去了解、去原谅、去深爱。

LIFE IS A DO-IT-YOURSELF PROJECT 生活是一个自己动手的项目
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.he told his employer contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.He would miss the paycheck,but he needed to retire.They could get by.The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor.The carpenter said yes,but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work.He resorted to shooddy workmanship and used inferior materials.It was an unfortunate way to end his career.When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house,the contractor handed the front door key to the carpenter.“This is your house,”he said,“my gift to you.”
What a shock!
What a shame!
If he had only known he was building his own house,he would have done it all so differently.Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us.We build our lives in a distracted way,reacting rather than acting,willing to put up less than the best.At important points we do not give the job our best effort.Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built.If we had realized that we would have done it differently.Think of yourself as the carpenter.Think about your house.Each day you hammer a nail,place a board or erect a wall.Build wisely.It is the only life you will ever build.Even if you live it for day more that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.The plaque on the wall says,“Life is a do-it-yourself project.”
Who could say it more clearly?Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.Your life tommorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.Parenthood 为人父母
If it was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!
Shouting to make your children obey is like using the horn to steer your car, and you get about the same results.To be in your children’s memories tomorrow, you have to be in their lives today.The smartest advice on raising children is to enjoy them while they are still on your side.The best way to keep kids at home is to give it a loving atmospherehandy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grandchildren.A child outgrows your lap, but never outgrows your heart.God gave you two ears and one mouth....so you should listen twice as much as you talk.There are three ways to get something done: Do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or forbid your children to do it.Adolescence is the age when children try to bring up their parents.Cleaning your house while your kids are at home is like trying to shovel the driveway during a snowstorm.Oh, to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small, and half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.There are only two things a child will share willingly: communicable diseases and his mother’s age.Money isn’t everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.A alarm clock is a device for awakening people who don’t have small children.No wonder kids are confused today.Half the adults tell them to find themselves;the other half tell them to get lost.People hardest to convince that it’s time for retirement are children at bedtime.Kids really brighten a household;they never turn off any lights.A Smile is A Gift That Anyone Can Give
It costs noting, but saves much.微笑不需要花费你一分钱,但却能带来很多.It enriches those who receive,without impovershing those who give.它使那些得到它的人富有,却不会使付出它的人贫穷.It happens in a flash , and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.它发生在一瞬间,但它的记忆有时却是永恒的.None is so rich that he can get along without it;none so poor that he is not enriched by it.如果人们可以没有微笑,那么,无论拥有什么都会觉得贫穷.如果人们无法因此而丰富,那么就没有什么比这更贫穷了.It creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friends.微笑为家庭到来欢笑,为工作增添善意,是友谊的象征.It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sick, and Nature's best antidote for trouble.它是缓解疲劳的良药,是征服气馁的日光,是治疗疾病的阳光,是自然界中战胜困难的灵丹妙药.It cannot be bought, borrowed, or stolen, for it is no earthly good to anyone until it is given away.它不能买,不能借,也不能偷,因为在它被给予他人之前是毫无用处的.If you meet someone too burdened with grief or worry to smile, just give him one of yours.如果你遇见某人被悲伤和焦虑压得喘不过气来,只要给他一个微笑就行.For nobody needs a smile so much as he who has none left to give.因为当一个人无法再给予微笑的时候,他也就不那么需要微笑了!
Wealth,Success&Love财富,成功和爱
A woman came out of her house and saw three old men
with long white beards sitting in her front yard.She did not recognize them.一个妇人出门看到3位白须飘然的老者坐在她家前院。妇人与他们素不相识。
She said “I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry.Please come in and have something to eat.”
她上前同他们打招呼:“你们一定饿了,进屋吃点东西吧?”
“Is the man of the house home?”, they asked.“No”, she replied.“He's out.”
“Then we cannot come in”, they replied.“你们家男主人在吗?”老人们问。
妇人回答: “他出去了。”
“他不在,我们就不进去。”老人们回答。
In the evening when her husband came home,she told him what had happened.“Go tell them I am home and invite them in!”
晚上,丈夫回家了,妇人将遇到的事告诉了他。
“快去告诉他们我回来了,请他们进来!”
The woman went out and invited the men in.“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.“Why is that?” she asked.于是妇人出去邀老人们进屋。
“我们不能一同进屋。”老人们说。
“那是为什么?”妇人感到疑惑。
One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,”
he said pointing to one of his friends,and said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.”
一个老人指着一个同伴说:“他名叫财富。”
指向另一个同伴说:“他叫成功,我是爱。”
Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband
which one of us you want in your home.”
他接着说:“你现在进去和丈夫商量,看你们家需要我们中哪一个。”
The woman went in and told her husband what was said.Her husband was overjoyed.“How nice!”, he said.“Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.Let him come and fill our home with wealth!”
His wife disagreed.“My dear, why don't we invite Success?”
妇人把老人的话告诉丈夫。丈夫十分惊喜,说:“既然如此,我们就邀请财富老人吧,让他进来,把我们的房子装满财富!”
妻子不同意,说:“亲爱的,为什么不邀请成功呢?”
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house.She jumped in with her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love?
Our home will then be filled with love!”
他们的儿媳妇在屋子的另一头听到这些话,建议道:“邀请爱进来不是更好吗?我们家将会充满爱。”
“Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice,” said the husband to his wife.“Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”
The woman went out and asked the three old men,“Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.”
“我们接受儿媳的建议吧,” 丈夫对妻子说,“去吧爱请进来坐我们的客人吧。”
这位妇人走出门问3个老人:“你们之中哪位是爱?请进来做客。”
Love got up and started walking toward the house.The other two also got up and followed him.Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success:
“I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?”
爱老人起身朝房子走去,另外两位也起身跟着走了进去。
这位妇人吃惊地问道:“我邀请的是爱,你们两位怎么也跟进来?”
The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success,the other two of us would've stayed out,but you invited Love, and wherever he goes, we go also.Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”
Yesterday...Today...AND Tomorrow 昨天,今天,还有明天
There are two days in every week that we should not worry about,two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.One is Yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and
blunders, its aches and pains.Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control.All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.We cannot undo a single act we performed.Nor can we erase a single word we saidbut it will rise.Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.This leaves only one day
It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday, and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.Let us, therefore, live One Day at a Time!
SAND OR STONE 写在沙子或者石头上的话
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.In a specific point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they
decided to take a bath.The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,“After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”
The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND
AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.Advice from Mother Teresa 特蕾纱修女的忠告
People are often unreasonable,illogical,and self-centered;
Forgive then anyway.If you are kind,people may accuse you of selfish,ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.What you spend years building,someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness,they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.The good you do today,people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.Give the world the best you have,and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.You see, in the final analysis,it is between you and God:
It was never between you and them anyway.A Spiritual Message to America

Confidence
Every day is a new day in our life.There is much to do today.The early morning sun inspires us to start things freshly and put back our past.Only a handful of us make use of this fresh bunch of energy.In various walis of life this affects the way we behave and our confidence level.Confidence is a key to survive in this world.It is the only key tool to win the rat race in every walk of life.Confidence in ones owns capabilities combined with sincere efforts help one to achieve unthinkable heights.But many times we see that this basic element of confidence is missing in us.As a result of lack of confidence we perform well below our caliber.Be it in a public speech, proposing your beloved, visas for your college or in an interview or say even on the eve before your exams.This can be due to fear of being rejected or any other reason.If we look into our hearts and think, we will come to know that fear inside us I going to get us nowhere.The confidence inside us is going to take us places.This is because with confidence we can put our thoughts into words in a better and pleasing way.So we have to get out of that shell where we think whether people will accept us as we are?
Instead of living in these unending moments of fear and thoughtless analysis, it is better if we project ourselves with the skills we have with the gloss of confidence.With confidence we can portray the finer points of our personality in such a way that the places where we do lack are never highlighted.Confidence should glow in us only till the point where our personality is boosted.Above this it leads to over-confidence that is harmful.Over-confidence results in unsatisfied performance levels as the seed of ego grows into a plant into our mind.We then imagine and make big talks just to maintain our ego.So guys don’t let the seed of ego to germinate in your mind, as this seed should be used only for you to live up to your expectations.Confidence is all about being cool, calm and composed.So guys do you have it in you?
If you think you don't,boost up yourselves as your mind is your greatest mentor.You are your greatest helper.

最美寄语
大爱无声——常显伟
本来素不相识,你却在世界末日的谣言声里,用坚定的目光点燃了她活下去的希望。没听到一句海誓山盟从你的嘴角溜出来,没看到一支玫瑰在你俩的情人节里绽放,来自中国雪城的汉子,只会用一颗火热的心为人疗伤。从此后,你就是她生命的轮椅,也成了这个时代精神的脊梁!
雪蕴梅香——冯雪
你走到哪儿,哪儿就校舍明亮;你站在哪儿,哪儿就书声朗朗。你用自强,托起师道的尊严;你用厚德,呵护孩子们心灵的成长。你是雪,滋润着脚下的净土,你是梅,岁寒中不失傲人的清香!
行在道上——李树青
这个城市的游人越来越多,我知道你从未拒载车外孤独的目光;好多人走南闯北却没有人生方向,我知道你始终行在道上。你的车是家,安全而且温暖;你的心是灯,具有穿透尘世雾霾的力量。
净心使者——邢凤荣
你走过了几十年的人生长路,而工作的路,就坚守在小城一方。每天的你,扫净尘土与垃圾,留下明净与清爽。道路是城市的动脉,你是净化城市的使者。你用扫掃做笔,为这个城市的容颜化妆,更让这个城市的心灵闪光。
孝感动天——马凤训
孝是人道第一步,你在孝道上坚持走了很远。你是期颐老人的依靠,老人则是你生命的诺言。有人说命运对你不公,你却把不公当成踏浪前行的风帆。你是一本家庭美德的教科书,扉页的题目叫“无怨无悔”,封底的篆刻为“孝感动天”。

豆蔻年华,演绎路不拾遗的故事;文弱学子,凝聚青春无悔的正能量。失主从你的手上找回了久违的感动,世人从你的身上看到了未来的希望。如果说金钱成了很多人的宗教,你的心灵则拯救了更多人的信仰。
建德守忠——王建忠
妻子的躯体倒下了,她的感知却站了起来。糟糠之妻依然是你手心里的宝,你用爱的琼浆把她精心侍养。你是乡野里的一棵树,四季流年为故园守望人心的底线;你是土炕上的一盏蜡烛,日日夜夜照亮亲人幸福的无眠。
与爱同行——吴桥志愿者协会
一群原本陌生的人,怀揣大同的理想,以爱的名义,结社同行。不是富翁,却懂得施舍,本来弱小,内心却装着别人的需求。是助人,也是自助;是乐人,也是乐已;是一枝没有刺的玫瑰,美丽着这个世界,留给自己的仅仅是手中的一缕清香。

The country Maid and Her Milk Can
村姑和牛奶罐
A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the following train
of reflections.“The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to
three hundred,These eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,will
produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.The chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time
when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year I cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a
new gown.Green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best.and green it shall be, In this
dress I will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;but no-I shall refuse
every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them.”
Transported with this idea,she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her
mind,when down came the can of milk!And all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.一个村姑头上顶着一罐牛奶在路上行走。走着走着,她的脑子里浮现出一连串的幻想:“我卖
了这罐牛奶后,用这笔钱买鸡蛋,这样我有的鸡蛋可以增加到300 个。用这300 个鸡蛋孵小鸡,这就算有坏的、生虫的,至少也能孵出250 只小鸡。等小鸡长大后,正好能赶上卖个好市价;那么到了新年,我就能有钱买一件新
晚装。买一件绿色的——让我好好想想——对,绿色与我的肤色最相衬。我穿上这件衣服去赶集,所有的年
轻小伙子都会抢着邀请我做舞伴;但是不行——我要轻蔑地把头一扬,转身过去不理他们,让他们人人都
碰个钉子。
她想得得意忘形,情不自禁地把头一扬,刹那间,牛奶罐跌了下来!她幻想的一切幸福间破灭了。
The Rainy Day雨天
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 亨利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗
The day is cold,and dark,and dreary;
It rains,and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,But at every gust the dead leaves fall,And the day is dark and dreary.My life is cold and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My though still cling to the moldering past,But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,And the days are dark and dreary.Be still,sad heart!And cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall,Some days must be dark and dreary.天冷、阴暗、沉闷;
下着雨,风也刮个不停;
藤还攀附着颓垣残壁,每来一阵狂风,枯叶附落纷纷,天真是阴暗而沉闷。
我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷;
下着雨,风也刮个不停;
我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事,大风里,我的青春希望相继熄灭,天真是阴暗而沉闷。
安静吧,忧伤的心!别再悔恨;
乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂;
你命运和大家的一样,每个人一生都得逢上阴雨,有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。
Love 爱情
I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you.我爱你,不是因为你是一个怎样的人,而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。
No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won't make you cry.没有人值得你流泪,值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.失去某人,最糟糕的莫过于,他近在身旁,却犹如远在天边。
Never frown,even when you are sad,because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.纵然伤心,也不要悉眉不展,因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。
To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.对于世界而言,你是一个人;但是对于某人,你是他的整个世界。
Don't waste your time on a man/woman,who isn't willing to waste their time on you.不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with
all they have.爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式爱你,那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to.不要着急,最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally
meet the person,we will know how to be grateful.在遇到梦中人之前,上天也许会安排我们先遇到别人;在我们终于遇见心仪的人时,便应当心存感激。
Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,为你的曾经拥有。
Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.-------Sir Thomas Browne
“生命是束纯净的火焰,我们依靠自己内心看不见的太阳而存在。”

On the Feeling of Immortality in youth
有感于青春常在William Hazlitt/威廉.赫兹里特
No young man believes he shall ever die.It was a saying of my brother's,and a fine one.There is a feeling of Eternity in youth,which makes us amend for everything.To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods.One half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in
store for us with all its countless treasures;for there is no line drawn,and we see
no limit
to our hopes and wishes.We make the coming age our own-
年轻人不相信自已会死。这是我哥哥的话,可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。
人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然,生命的一半已以消逝,但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留,我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——
The vast,the unbounded prospect lies before us.无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现
Death.old age.are words without a meaning.that pass by us like the idea air which we regard
not.Others may have undergone,or may still be liable to them-we “bear a charmed life”,which
laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies.As in setting out on delightful journey,we strain ou
r eager gaze forward-
死亡,老年,不过是空话,毫无意义;我们听了,只耳边风,全不放在心上。这些事,别人也许经历过,或者可能要承受,但是我们自己,“在灵符护佑下度日”,对于诸如此类脆弱的念头,统统付之轻蔑的一
笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程,极目远眺——
Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
向远方的美景欢呼!
-and see no end to the landscape,new objects presenting themselves as we advance;so,in the
commencement of life,we set no bounds to our inclinations.nor to the unrestricted opportunities of
grastifying them.we have as yet found no obstacle,no disposition to flag;and it seems that we can go on
so forever.We look round in a new world,full of life,and motion,and ceaseless progress;and feel in
ourselves all the vigour and spirit to keep pace with it,and do not foresee from any present symptoms how
we shall be left behind in the natural course of things,decline into old age,and drop into the grave.It is the
simplicity,and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth,that(so to speak)identifies us with
nature ,and(our experience being slight and our passions strong)deludes us into a belief of being immortal
like it.Our short-lives connexion with existence we fondly flatter ourselves,is an indissoluble and lasting
union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness,jar,nor separation.As infants smile and sleep,we are
rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies,and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around
us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it,instead of which it only overflows the
more-objects press around us,filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that
wait upon them,so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.此时,但觉好风光应接不暇,而且,前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端,我们听任自己的志
趣驰骋,放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止,我们还没有碰上过什么障碍,也没有感觉到什么疲惫,因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去,直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然,变动不居,日新
月异;我们觉得自己活力充盈,精神饱满,可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且,眼前也无任何迹象可以证明,在大
自然的发展过程中,我们自己也会落伍,衰老,进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯,可以说是茫然无知,因
