初中英语美文欣赏之欧阳家百创编
A Simple Gesture 只是举手之劳
欧阳家百（2021.03.07）
Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed that the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles.
一天放学后，马克正走在回家的路上，突然看到前面的小男孩绊倒了，他带的东西撒了一地，其中有很多书、两件羊毛衫、一个棒球拍、一只手套，还有一个小型录音机。看到这种场景，马克不禁蹲下身，帮助男孩捡拾起来。
Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered that the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, that he was having a lot of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
由于他们同路，马克便帮男孩拿着一些东西。他们边走边聊。马克了解到男孩名叫比尔，他喜欢玩电脑游戏，喜欢打棒球；他很喜欢历史课，但其他科目却学得一塌糊涂。马克还了解到他刚跟女朋友分了手。
They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few
laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came, and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
他们先是到了比尔的家里，比尔邀请马克喝可乐，并一起看电视。那个下午过得非常愉快，他们交流看法，还时不时地开怀大笑。然后，马克回家了。从此以后，他们继续往来，在学校附近相见，一起吃过一两次午餐，并一起初中毕业。后来，他们升入同一所高中，并始终保持着简短的接触。最后，终于盼到中学快要结束了。就在毕业前的第三周，比尔问马克，他们是否可以谈一谈。
Bill reminded him of th e day years ago when they had first met. “Do you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”
比尔提到了多年前他们第一次相遇的那一天。“你有没有想过为
什么那天我会带着那么多东西回家？”比尔问道。“事实是，那天我把自己的橱柜全部清理干净了，因为我不想给任何人制造乱七八糟的场面。我存下了妈妈吃的很多安眠药，本想回家自杀。但是当跟你呆在一起又说又笑的时候，我意识到如果我自杀了，我就会错过那些愉快的时光，也就欣赏不到以后随之而来的许多其他的美好时光了。所以，马克，你看，那天你帮我捡书的时候，你不只是在帮我捡书，实际上还为我做了很多。你拯救了我的生命。”
Every little hello, every little smile, every helping hand saves a hurting heart. There s a miracle called Friendship that dwells in the heart. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us. Show your friends how much you care...
每一句小小的问候，每一个浅浅的笑容，每一只援助之手，都会拯救一个伤痛的心灵。友谊常驻心间会铸就奇迹，朋友确实是稀世珍宝。他们带给你欢笑，鼓励你成功。他们会倾听我们的心声，与我们分享每一个赞扬，总是与我们坦诚相待。一定要让你的朋友知道你有多么在乎他们……
阳光的声音
老师破天荒布置了一篇自由作文。
The teacher delivered a free writing amazingly.
孩子高兴极了，想：终于可以摆脱讨厌的命题作文，写写自己心
里的东西了。
The child was so happy by thinking that he can finally write about his thought in his inner heart instead of the thesis writing.
他躺在柔软的草地上，阳光暖暖地照着，想啊想，然后一跃而起，一篇很满意，甚至是很得意的文章便跃然纸上——《阳光的声音》。
Lying on the soft grass land with the sunshine sprinkling over his body warmly, he jumped up after thinking and composed a satisfactory article------The Sound of the Sun.
孩子满怀信心地把作文交了上去，然后陷入了无尽的期待。
The boy handed in the composition with his fulfilled confidence, and then, he met the endless waiting.
作文本发下来了。
At last, the paper was returned.
春暖花开的日子里，孩子竟忍不住打了一个寒战。
After seeing the result, the boy was trembled in the bloomy spring days.老师在作文后面批了一个大大的“差”字。
The teacher gave him a “poor”in the last as the evaluation..
老师说：“可笑！阳光怎么会有声音呢？！以后再也不能这样写了，要扣分的！”
孩子觉得很委屈，也很难过。
The teacher said, “How amuse you are! How can the sun make any noise?! You are not allowed to write the composition in this way any
more.. The marks you get will be very low in this way.
那个“差”字像一个张牙舞爪的魔鬼，时时出现在他的梦里。The‘poor’evaluation is like a clewing devils, which will appear in his dreams sometimes.
几年以后，老师还是老师，孩子还是学生。只不过孩子长大了一些，成了老师家长眼中公认的好孩子，再也不会想一些不着边际的事，说一些莫名其妙的话了。
Several years passed, the teacher is still who he is, and the student is himself the same but grows older. Meanwhile, he has been regarded as a good boy who will not talk about the ill-advised things or say the strange words.
一天的阅读欣赏课，老师讲解的一位著名作家的文章里有一句：我听见了阳光的声音。
老师滔滔不绝地分析着这句话多么的优美，多么的富有哲理，可孩子一句也听不进去。
But one day in an reading appreciation course, the teacher interpreted the sentence “I have heard the call of the sun” written by a famous author. His teacher spouted how graceful this sentence was, and how sensible it was, but he can hardly focus himself on even a word of it.
孩子望了一眼窗外刺眼的阳光，想：阳光怎么会有声音呢？
想到这，他冷冷地笑了。
Then, the boy faced the dazzling sunshine thinking that: how can the sun make the sound? And then, he made a smile coldly.
"You are the only one who can make you happy." We have all heard that so many times in our lives.
There are times it is a pretty tough pill to swallow. In reality, the people that surround you have a huge impact on your current mood. When your children are grumpy in the morning, you find a nice pile the dog left you over night, you hit the road and the traffic won’t allow you your normal speed, then when you get to work and your co-worker called in sick... these are all things that might contribute to your overall Happiness of the day.
However, moods and temporary emotions are not the same as happiness. Happiness exists when you look at the overall picture of your life and you smile, that is happiness. You know those times when you can’t wait for your children to go to bed, then later you check on the kids and you almost cry because they look exactly like angels... YOUR ANGELS, sleeping so sweetly and soundly. You can hardly remember a time of irritation with them. That is Happiness.
As life progresses and changes, we realize that who we are, (what makes us, us)... that is what we are responsible for. We know that immediate gratification or irritation only pacifies or deteriorates our emotional stimuli short term. Our global view of how we see ourselves determines our state of mind. Our state of mind determines our Happiness.
So, how do we take control of our emotions and find the path of
Happiness? This seems to be the million dollar question. There are tons of books on or related to the subject. You could read and practice until you are completely confused. Or, we could spend the rest of our life introspectively evaluating what makes us happy. Which might take more time and energy and actually frustrate us more.
How about this? What if we looked at ourselves and decided what we liked a nd didn’t like and set about making changes. It doesn’t have to be major alterations. Maybe you are tired of your house but can’t afford to move. Try painting the living room or buying flowers to set on the kitchen table. If you haven’t had a vacation for awhile and just can’t afford to take that cruise, go camping instead.
Maybe the issues are more personal or internal. Do you get mad too easily? Learn yoga or meditation. Are you having marital problems? Visit a counselor. Are the kids having discipline issues? Determine the major issues, establish guidelines on how you are going to correct the problem and stick to it.
You may be saying, ’Sure, that sounds so easy but...’ Of course it sounds easy. Problems are always easier to talk about than to take the obvious actions to fix them. But, for the most part, things are as difficult or as easy as we determine them to be. Sometimes we just make things harder than necessary.
If your unHappiness stems from a situation beyond your control then find other ways to compensate. If, for example, money is so tight and
no apparent windfall is coming your way any time soon, find inexpensive entertainment. Backyard ballgames, picnics in the park, movie night with popcorn and snacks in your bedroom are a few alternatives to an expensive night out. If the issues are more serious and you feel powerless, that is the time to seek professional help. Otherwise, look in the mirror and be glad. If you don’t like what you see, change it. Make the solution that simple!
“你是唯一一个可以让自己幸福的人。”我们总是听到有人说我们还有很多的时间。
那些时间就像在吞咽一颗苦涩的药片让人无奈。事实上，你围绕在你周围的人会对你的心情会有相当大的影响。例如，早晨你的孩子很不听话，一夜过后你的够给你留下一堆特别的东西，你撞到墙上然后交通又限制你正常速度，当你开始工作时你的同事打电话说他身体不适等等，这些事情都将会影响你一整天的幸福感觉。
然而，心情和暂时的情感都是不能和幸福相提并论的。幸福存在于你看到你生活的整个画面时，你面带微笑。是的，这才是幸福。你知道的，你没能等到你孩子去睡觉，但是当去检查他们睡得是否安好时，你几乎能流泪，因为他们睡得是如此的香甜，就像是天使……你的天使。你似乎不记得他们曾有让生气的时候了。这才是幸福。
随着生活的变化和提高，我们开始认识到我们是谁，（是什么早就了现在的我们，我们…）…我们的责任是什么。我们知道
一时的满足和烦恼只是使我们使情绪得到短暂安慰或恶化。我们对我们自己的整体看法才会决定我们精神状态，而我们的精神状态又决定我们的幸福。
于是，我们要如何来控制我们的情绪，进而发现通往幸福的捷径呢？这似乎是一个价值连城的问题。已经有成吨重的书对这个主题进行了阐述或涉及。你可以读读这些书并依此付诸实践，知道你彻底迷茫；或者，我们可以用我们余下的时间来反思和评估是什么让我们幸福。这些可能占有我们更多的时间和精力和带给我们更多的挫败。
那么如果我们这样做呢？我们如果先自我审视一番，然后决定什么是我们喜欢的，什么是我们不喜欢的，接着开始改变。没有必要一定是大的变化。例如，可能你已经厌倦了你现在的房子，但是你又没有钱新买房搬家。那么你可以试着给你的房间刷上新的油漆，或者买一些花放到你的餐桌上。可能你没有一个完整的长假去做长途旅行，那么你可以尝试去露营。
这些话题可能太个人化或者内心化。你太容易发火吗？那就学习瑜伽或者尝试沉思吧！你有婚姻问题吗？那就去咨询一下婚姻顾问吧！你的孩子存在一些纪律问题吗？那你可以找出主要问题，然后列出你打算改正这个问题的纲领并持之以恒。
你可能会说，“是的，这些听起来很简单，但是……”这听起来当然简单。谈论问题总是比付诸行动去解决问题要简单的多。然而，问题是困难的还是简单的全凭我们解决的决心的大小。有时我们可能把问题复杂化了。
如果你不幸福的原因是来源于一种你无法控制的情形，那你可以寻找其他方法来加以弥补。譬如，如果你生活拮据并且不太有可能会突然大发横财，那就找比较便宜的娱乐方式。比如，后院足球，公园野餐，看电影吃爆米花或者在卧室享受零食，做一些选择来期待一次昂贵的外出。如果问题比较严重而你有感到无力，这时你就应该向专业人士来寻求帮助。
然而，看着镜子中的你很快乐。如果你不喜欢你所看到的，那就改变它。解决的方法很简单。
英语美文赏析：呼唤自由的鹦鹉
A man, a great man, a fighter for freedom was traveling in the mountains. He stayed in a caravans for the night. He was amazed that in the caravans there was a beautiful parrot in a golden cage, continually repeating “Freedom! Freedom!”. And it was such a place that when the parrot repeated the word “Freedom!” it would go on echoing in the valleys, in the mountains.
一个人，一个了不起的人，一个为了自由而战的斗士，正在山峦间穿行。今晚他留在一个大旅店里过夜。旅店里有一个金鸟笼，里面有一只漂亮的鹦鹉在不停地反复呼喊着“自由！自由！”，这让他很震惊。那里是这样的一种地方，当这只鹦鹉不断地反复呼喊“自由！”的时候，这个词便会在山峦间、在深谷中久久回荡。
The man thought: “I have seen many parrots, and I have thought they must want to be free from those cages…but I have never seen
such a parrot whose whole day, from the morning to the evening when he goes to sleep, is spent in calling out for freedom.” He had an idea. In the middle of the night, when the owner was fast asleep, he got up and opened the door of the cage. He whispered to the parrot, “Now get out.”
这个人想：“我看到过很多鹦鹉，也曾想过他们一定想从这些笼子里飞出去获得自由……但是，我从没有见过这样的鹦鹉，从早到晚，直到入睡，一整天都在呼喊着自由。”他有了一个想法……午夜，当店主熟睡的时候，他悄悄起身，打开了鸟笼门，小声地对鹦鹉说：“现在，出去吧。”
But he was very surprised that the parrot was clinging to the bars of the cage. He said to him again and again, “Have you forgotten about freedom? Just get out! The door is open and the owner is fast asleep; nobody will ever know. You just fly into the sky; the whole sky is yours.”
但是令他吃惊的是这只鹦鹉竟抓着鸟笼的横木不放。他对它一遍又一遍地说：“你忘了自由了吗？快出去！门开着，店主熟睡着，没有人会看到。你只要飞向天空，整片天空就是你的了。”
But the parrot was clinging so deeply, so hard, that the man said, “What is the matter? Are you mad?” He tried to take the parrot out with his own hands, but the parrot started pecking at him, and at the same time he was shouting, “Freedom! Freedom!” The valleys in the
night echoed and re-echoed, but the man was also stubborn；he was a freedom fighter.
但是鹦鹉仍然牢牢地用力抓着横木不放，于是他说：“怎么了？你疯了吗？”他试图用手把鹦鹉弄出来，但是鹦鹉却开始啄他，同时大喊：“自由！自由！”深夜的山谷里荡起了一声又一声的回音，可是这个人也一样地顽固，谁让他是个自由之士呢。He pulled the parrot out and threw him into the sky; and he was very satisfied, although his hand was hurt. The parrot had attacked him as forcefully as he could, but the man was immensely satisfied that he had made a soul free. He went to sleep.
他把鹦鹉拽出来，扔向空中。他很满意，尽管他的手受伤了。虽然鹦鹉全力地攻击他，但是他却心满意足，因为他使得一个灵魂自由了。他便回去继续睡他的觉。
In the morning, as the man was waking up, he heard the parrot shouting, “Freedom! Freedom!” He thought perhaps the parrot must be sitting on a tree or on a rock. But when he came out, the parrot was sitting in the cage. The door was open.
早上，他睡醒了，听见鹦鹉正在大喊：“自由！自由！”他想也许鹦鹉正落在一棵树上或一块石头上呢。但当他出来的时候，鹦鹉正在笼子里，笼门还开着。
Life is Like a Cafeteria 生活就像自助餐
A friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After settling down at Ellis Island, He went into a cafeteria in lower
Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked. "Start out at that end," she said. "Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay." "I soon learned that’s how everything works in America," the grandf ather told a friend. "Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself."
一个朋友的祖父从东欧到美国来。在埃利斯岛安顿下来后, 他去曼哈顿一家抵挡的自助餐厅吃饭.
他在一张空桌子边坐下，等待侍者拿来菜单。没有人来招呼他. 最后，一位女士拿着满满一托盘食物走过来坐在他对面, 并告诉他自助餐厅怎样进餐的。她说：“着手去做吧，去要你想要的东西，在餐厅的另外一端会有人告诉你该付多少钱。”他对一个朋友说：“接着我很快了解到这就是美国人的工作方式”. 生活就像自助餐, 你可以去要你想要的任何东西, 只要你能付得起他们的价格. 你也可以想要成功, 但是如果你什么都不做等着别人能把它送到你身边的话是永远都不可能得到的. 你必须勤劳，必须自己去追求它。

散文诗名篇赏析《Youth-青春》中英文
经典英语名篇文章：青春 作者：Samuel Ullman 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 经典英语文章《青春》背后的故事： 太平洋战争打得正酣之时，麦克阿瑟将军常常从繁忙中抬起头，注视着挂在墙上的镜框，镜框里是篇文章，名为《青春》。这篇文章一直伴随着他，也跟着他到了日本。后来，日本人在东京的美军总部发现了它，《青春》便开始在日本流传。 一位资深的日本问题观察家说，在日本实业界，只要有成就者，没有哪一个不熟知不应用这篇美文的，就连松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把《青春》当作他的座右铭。 还有这么一件趣事，足以证明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美国影片销售协会主席罗森菲尔德参加日本实业界的聚会，晚宴之前的谈话，他随意说了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位实业界领袖大为惊讶，其中有一位一边激动地说“我一直随身带着它呢”，一边从口袋里掏出了《青春》。 Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安，如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆
十篇经典励志美文欣赏

一、《境由心造》 一个人的处境是苦是乐常是主观的。 有人安于某种生活，有人不能。因此能安于自已目前处境的不妨就如此生活下去，不能的只好努力另找出路。你无法断言哪里才是成功的，也无法肯定当自已到达了某一点之后，会不会快乐。有些人永远不会感到满足，他的快乐只建立在不断地追求与争取的过程之中，因此，他的目标不断地向远处推移。这种人的快乐可能少，但成就可能大。
苦乐全凭自已判断，这和客观环境并不一定有直接关系，正如一个不爱珠宝的女人，即使臵身在极其重视虚荣的环境，也无伤她的自尊。拥有万卷书的穷书生，并不想去和百万富翁交换钻石或股票。满足于田园生活的人也并不艳羡任何学者的荣誉头衔，或高官厚禄。 你的爱好就是你的方向，你的兴趣就是你的资本，你的性情就是你的命运。各人有各人理想的乐园，有自已所乐于安享的花花世界。
. 二、《大和小》 一位朋友谈到他亲戚的姑婆，一生从来没有穿过合脚的鞋子，常穿着巨大的鞋子走来走去。儿子晚辈如果问她，她就会说：“大小鞋都是一样的价钱，为什么不买大的？” 每次我转述这个故事，总有一些人笑得岔了气。
其实，在生活里我们会看到很多这样的"姑婆"。没有什么思想的作家，偏偏写着厚重苦涩的作品；没有什么内容的画家，偏偏画着超级巨画；经常不在家的商人，却有非常巨大的家园。 许多人不断地追求巨大，其实只是被内在贪欲推动着，就好像买了特大号的鞋子，忘了自己的脚一样。 不管买什么鞋子，合脚最重要，不论追求什么，总要适可而止。
三、《抉择》 人的一生常处于抉择之中，如：念哪一间大学？选哪一种职业？娶哪一种女子？……等等伤脑筋的事情。一个人抉择力的有无，可以显示其人格成熟与否。 倒是哪些胸无主见的人，不受抉择之苦。因为逢到需要决定的时候，他总是求询别人说：“嘿，你看怎么做？”

The American Revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern England became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern Europe at the end of the eighteenth century. It may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but only in the North American colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation. Here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. They included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty. With the American nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world. 美国革命的历史意义

Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it. 我们的勇气并不是与生俱来的，我们的恐惧也不是。也许有些恐惧来自你的亲身经历，别人告诉你的故事，或你在报纸上读到的东西。有些恐惧可以理解，例如在凌晨两点独自走在城里不安全的地段。但是一旦你学会避免那种情况，你就不必生活在恐惧之中。 Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.
经典美文摘抄欣赏
人生价值,活得精彩,要有理想: 生命可以归结为一种简单的选择:要么忙于生存,要么赶着去死。 活着不就是为活着而活着,生命就是一个过程,这个过程美好而又绚丽多彩。春天观察小草发出嫩绿的芽,很就是开心;夏天闻着君子兰飘来的淡淡清香,很就是悠哉;秋天体会丰收的喜悦,很就是知足;冬天瞧着“千里冰封,万里雪飘”很就是壮观。但这都不就是让我活着更好的理由。 苏联作家奥斯特洛夫斯基在小说《钢铁就是怎样炼成》当中写到:“人的一生应当这样度过:当回忆往事的时候,她不会因为虚度年华而悔恨,也不会因为碌碌无为而羞愧;在临死的时候,她能够说:我的整个生命与全部精力,都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放而斗争。” 人活着就就是要做点什么,给世界留下一份美丽。岳飞留下了“待从头,收拾旧山河”的忠心,文天祥留下了“留取丹心在汉青”的志向,于谦发出了“粉骨碎身浑不怕,要留清白在人间”的呐喊。她们的人生都就是有意义的。生与死对她们来说已经不重要了。 人生的旅途也许有恶风险浪,沟沟坎坎,生命若活得浑浑噩噩,就像行尸走兽,大家要摒弃这种毫无意义的生活。要无论何时何地不忘自己的责任,不丢掉理想的追求,沿着自己的目标,活得光明磊落,扬起出征的风帆用有限的生命去做有价值的事,这才会使生命绽放光彩！生命如花,就让自己的生命花开时就是美好的,落时也就是美好的吧！把生命的花瓣,一瓣一瓣撒在人生的旅途上…… 为了人类自己,为了共同的社会,为了整个地球,让生命活得更有价值、更精彩,并让它飘出幽香吧！ 英雄的赞歌,骨气,意气 在长达几千年的中国历史上,涌现出无数的英雄。她们或守疆卫土,或敌御强敌,或驱逐外寇,或与腐败王朝殊死斗争,留下了伟大的英雄浩气,谱出了不朽的壮歌。这些满含英雄豪气的千古壮歌,如川江奔泻,如山峰屹立,感召着后人的壮志,鼓舞着后人们去拼搏,去创造更加辉煌的未来。这就是中华伟大民族精神的体现,更就是中华民族的本质。 骨气就就是孟子“富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移”的忠贞不渝。骨气就就是李白“安能摧眉折腰事权贵,使我不得开心颜”的傲岸不羁。骨气就就是于谦“粉身碎骨浑不怕,要留青白在人间”的刚强不屈。骨气就就是叶挺“人的身躯怎能从狗的洞子爬出”的凛然不惧。 宝剑锋从磨砺出,梅花香从苦寒来”这个人从不怕苦,吃得苦中苦,方为人上人。“黄师北定中原日,家祭无忘告乃翁”“醉里挑灯瞧剑”中国人不缺有志爱国志士,团结刻苦,永不认输。“山不在高,有仙则名;水不在深,有龙则灵。斯就是陋室,惟吾德馨。”文人骚客自古便有折她们的高风亮节,德馨就是她们的准则……“吾爱吾师,但更爱真理”中国人一直都不比遥远的西方国家笨,同样的时间,我们用我们专属的语言陈述着一样的真理！中国人我们用我们最精炼,优美的语句抒发着我们的对祖国的回报！ 智慧的结晶除了四大发明,怎么少得了儒家思想！孔子用她的儒教化了“人”何以为“人”。令世界知晓人非蛮夷,人需懂礼,品德行性的重要！韩国不就就是先借鉴了不？她将“礼”学习了,发展了,成了礼仪之国。别人的借鉴无疑就是对此的肯定！新加坡,一个小到只有我们的十万分之一的国家,她用从我们那学去的“礼”建立了一个家喻户晓的国家,即使她并没有辽阔的土地……而汉语在世界的各个角落正在发展,“全世界的在说中国话,孔夫子的话,越来越国际化……”我们就这样一路领先的用我们深厚的文化底蕴影响着世界……“三人行必有我师焉”“已所不欲,勿施于人”“有朋自远方来,不亦说乎”…… 善良

It may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but only in the North American colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation. Here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. They included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty. With the American nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.

A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences，in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures and that is the basis of all human morality. To be courageous...requires no exceptional qualifications，no magic formula，no special combination of time，place and circumstance.It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage.In whatever arena of life one may meet the challengeof courage，whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience，the loss of his friends，his fortune，his

Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes, I wonder if they wonder. And they may wonder if I wonder. If so, I hope they'll keep it to

十篇经典美文欣赏 1、《境由心造》 . 一个人的处境是苦是乐常是主观的。 有人安于某种生活，有人不能。因此能安于自已目前处境的不妨就如此生活下去，不能的只好努力另找出路。你无法断言哪里才是成功的，也无法肯定当自已到达了某一点之后，会不会快乐。有些人永远不会感到满足，他的快乐只建立在不断地追求与争取的过程之中，因此，他的目标不断地向远处推移。这种人的快乐可能少，但成就可能大。 苦乐全凭自已判断，这和客观环境并不一定有直接关系，正如一个不爱珠宝的女人，即使置身在极其重视虚荣的环境，也无伤她的自尊。 拥有万卷书的穷书生，并不想去和百万富翁交换钻石或股票。满足于田园生活的人也并不艳羡任何学者的荣誉头衔，或高官厚禄。 你的爱好就是你的方向，你的兴趣就是你的资本，你的性情就是你的命运。各人有各人理想的乐园，有自已所乐于安享的花花世界。 .
。. 2.《大和小》 . 一位朋友谈到他亲戚的姑婆，一生从来没有穿过合脚的鞋子，常穿着巨大的鞋子走来走去。儿子晚辈如果问她，她就会说：“大小鞋都是一样的价钱，为什么不买大的？” 每次我转述这个故事，总有一些人笑得岔了气。 其实，在生活里我们会看到很多这样的"姑婆"。没有什么思想的作家，偏偏写着厚重苦涩的作品；没有什么内容的画家，偏偏画着超级巨
画；经常不在家的商人，却有非常巨大的家园。 许多人不断地追求巨大，其实只是被内在贪欲推动着，就好像买了特大号的鞋子，忘了自己的脚一样。 不管买什么鞋子，合脚最重要，不论追求什么，总要适可而止。. .
3.《抉择》 .人的一生常处于抉择之中，如：念哪一间大学？选哪一种职业？娶哪一种女子？……等等伤脑筋的事情。一个人抉择力的有无，可以显示其人格成熟与否。 倒是哪些胸无主见的人，不受抉择之苦。因为逢到需要决定的时候，他总是求询别人说：“嘿，你看怎么做？” 大凡能够成大功业的人，都是抉择力甚强的人。他知道事之成败，全在乎已没有人可以代劳，更没有人能代你决定。 在抉择的哪一刻，成败实已露出端倪。 .

经典英语美文阅读范文欣赏 以书为伴 A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men. 通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以的为伴。 A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age. 好书就像是你的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心，最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们穷愁潦倒，临危遭难时，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一如既往地亲切。在我们年轻时，好书陶冶我们的性情，增长我们的知识;到我们年老时，它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。 Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, Love me, love my dog. But there is more wisdom in

(Reports on Britain Under the Bombs) Night after night, in the hot summer and early fall of 1940, a deep, steady voice came over the Atlantic Ocean from England to America, telling of England's battle for survival under the waves of German bombers. This strong and steady voice, an American voice with a slight accent of North Carolina, belonged to Edward R. Murrow, head of the European staff of the Columbia Broadcasting System. "This is London," said Murrow, while the bombs fell and flames spread on the streets of the city. His voice had a tone of sorrow for the suffering of that ancient city, and a tone of confidence, too -- a feeling of belief that London would be there, no matter what it had to endure. It could not be destroyed. The heavy raids began in the middle of August, and Nazi bombs started to fall along England's Channel Coast. The German bombers cast dark shadows over the white cliffs of Dover, and England's Home Guard prepared to fight on the beaches, on the cliffs, and in the hills, until the last Englishman died or the invaders were driven off. Air Marshal Goering's bomber pilots were sure of their ultimate triumph over England. Hitler and Goering believed that when London became a burned city like Warsaw and Rotterdam, England would surrender. But the English were more fortunate than the Poles in Warsaw and the Dutch in Rotterdam. They had the English Channel as a barrier against the Nazi ground forces, and they had the Royal Air Force(RAF) to battle the Nazis in the sky. The hardships of London really started in the first week of September, when Hitler was at last convinced that the English did not intend to give in. On September 7, 1940, nearly four hundred German bombers hammered the city with bombs in broad daylight. Marshal Goering boasted, "This is the historic hour when our air force for the first time delivered its bombs right into the enemy's heart." Fires burned, houses fell, gas pipes burst, and dark smoke rose from the streets. Men, women, and children felt the effect of the bombs. Radar sirens wailed, ambulances rushed from one place of agony to another, and fire fighters faced the flames hour after hour.
