经典英文散文篇1

Failure is a Good Thing

Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and, as

is conventional, I wished her success. I was lying. What I actually

wish for her is failure. I believe in the power of failure.

Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do

something that you already know you can do, or doing

something correctly the first time, which can often be a

problematical victory. First-time success is usually a fluke. First-time failure, by contrast, is expected; it is the natural order of

things.

Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase

describing a good cook as "she who has broken many pots." If

you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of

pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had

a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time

comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much

credibility their failures gave them.

I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each

week I am aware that one column is going to be the worst

column of the week. I don't set out to write it; I try my best every

day. Still, every week, one column is inferior to the others,

sometimes spectacularly so.

I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column

usually means that I am treading on familiar ground, going with the tricks that work, preaching to the choir or dressing up

popular sentiments in fancy words. Often in my inferior(差的)

columns, I am trying to pull off something I've never done before,

something I'm not even sure can be done.

My younger daughter is a trapeze(秋千) artist. She spent

three years putting together an act. She did it successfully for

years with the Cirque du Soleil. There was no reason for her to

change the act -- but she did anyway. She said she was no longer

learning anything new and she was bored; and if she was bored,

there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress. So

she changed the act. She risked failure and profound public

embarrassment in order to feed her soul. And if she can do that

15 feet in the air, we all should be able to do it.

My granddaughter is a perfectionist, probably too much of

one. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But

I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she

can do whatever it is better next time. I probably won't tell her

that failure is a good thing, because that's not a lesson you can

learn when you're five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it's not

the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.

经典英文散文篇2

The Year of Wandering

Between the preparation and the work, the apprenticeship(学徒期) and the actual dealing with a task or an art, there comes, in

the experience of many young men, a period of uncertainty and

wandering which is often misunderstood and counted as time

wasted, when it is, in fact, a period rich in full and free

development.

It is as natural for ardent(热情的) and courageous youth to

wish to know what is in life, what it means, and what it holds for its children, as for a child to reach for and search the things that

surround and attract it. Behind every real worker in the world is

a real man, and a man has a right to know the conditions under

which he must live, and the choices of knowledge, power, and

activity which are offered him. In the education of many men and

women, therefore, there comes the year of wandering; the

experience of traveling from knowledge to knowledge and from

occupation to occupation.

The forces which go to the making of a powerful man can

rarely be adjusted and blended without some disturbance of

relations and conditions.This disturbance is sometimes injurious,

because it affects the moral foundations upon which character

rests; and for this reason the significance of the experience in its

relation to development ought to be sympathetically studied.

The birth of the imagination and of the passions, the perception

of the richness of life, and the consciousness of the possession of

the power to master and use that wealth, create a critical moment

in the history of youth, a moment richer in possibilities of all kinds

than comes at any later period.

Agitation and ferment of soul are inevitable in that wonderful

moment. There are times when agitation(激动) is as normal as is

self-control at other and less critical times. The year of wandering

is not a manifestation of aimlessness, but of aspiration, and that

in its ferment and uncertainty youth is often guided to and finally

prepared for its task.

英文:

When it comes to recommending a reading material about

"The Red and the Black", I would suggest the novel itself

written by Stendhal. It is a classic piece of literature

that explores the themes of love, ambition, and social

class in 19th century France.

The novel follows the story of Julien Sorel, a young

man from a poor family who aspires to climb the social

ladder by any means necessary. He falls in love with two

women from different social classes, which leads to a

series of dramatic events.

One of the reasons why I recommend this novel is

because it offers a great insight into the social and

political climate of France during the 19th century. It

also explores the psychological and emotional struggles of

the characters, making it a great read for anyone interested in human nature and relationships.

英文:

As a middle school student, I have been exposed to

various types of writing, including essays, articles, and

short stories. However, one of my favorite genres is prose.

Prose is a form of writing that is not structured like

poetry and is usually written in paragraphs. It can be

fiction or non-fiction and can cover a wide range of topics.

Personally, I enjoy reading and writing prose because it

allows me to express my thoughts and emotions in a more

natural way.

One of my favorite pieces of prose is "The Giving Tree"

by Shel Silverstein. This story is about a tree that gives

everything it has to a boy throughout his life. The tree

symbolizes selflessness and the boy represents our

society's greed and selfishness. The story teaches us the

importance of giving and being grateful for what we have.

关于描写夏天的英文诗歌篇一

My Lost Summer

by Alexz

Summer is a playful season,

Children swim in the cool lake,

Legs up and down look like flying fishes

---but I have lost it.

Summer is a free season,

Wind goes through leaves without flower,

Rainbow links the west and the east heaven

---but I have lost it.

Summer is a dreamy season,

Huge white butterfly appears in Fairland,

Dancers write mystically puzzle for ever

---but I have lost it.

Occasionally I run across the strange echo,

My adventure seems an encore for the other.

High ideal is changed to temporary chance,

The sloping needs pillar to mainstay.

Absolutely what I can do is to hope

A miracle to say good-bye to this site.
