世界英文散文精粹中英对照WORD文本01_Of Beauty论美Virtue is fairer far than beauty美德远胜于美貌Of Beauty 论美By Francis Bacon 弗兰西斯.培根Virtue is like a rich stone,美德好比宝石best plain set; and surely virtue is best,in a body that is comely,它在朴素背景的衬托下反而更华丽。

though not of delicate features;同样,一个打扮并不华贵and that hath rather dignity of presence, than beauty of aspect.却端庄严肃而有美德者是令人肃然起敬的Neither is it almost seen,that very beautiful persons外表美丽的人,are otherwise of great virtue;未必也具有内在的美as if nature were rather busy, not to err,因为造物主似乎是吝啬的,than in labor to produce excellency.他给了此就不再予彼And therefore they prove accomplished, but not of great spirit;所以许多容颜俊秀的人往往过于追求外在and study rather behavior, than virtue.美丽而忽略了内心的美But this holds not always:但这也并非绝对for Augustus Caesar, Titus V espasianus, Philip le Belle of France,因为奥古斯都·恺撒、菲斯帕斯、法兰西的菲力普王Edward the Fourth of England, Alcibiades of Athens, Ismael the Sophy of Persia, 英格兰的爱德华四世、雅典的阿尔西巴底斯、波斯的伊斯梅尔等were all high and great spirits;既是大丈夫and yet the most beautiful men of their times.又是美男子In beauty, that of favor, is more than that of color;美不在颜色艳丽而在面目端正,and that of decent and gracious motion, more than that of favor.又不尽在面目端正而在举止文雅合度That is the best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express;最高的美是画家所无法表现的no,nor the first sight of the life.因为它是难于直观的There is no excellent beauty,没有哪种美that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.能极致到不存在比例上的暇疵A man cannot tell whether Apelles, or Albert Durer, were the more trifler;whereof the one,曾经有两位画家-阿皮雷斯和艾伯特.丢勒滑稽地认为,would make a personage by geometrical proportions;按照几何比例,the other, by taking the best parts out of divers faces, to make one excellent.或者通过摄取不同人身上最美的特点,可以用画合成一张最完美的人像Such personages, I think, would please nobody,其实像这样画出来的美人but the painter that made them.,恐怕只表现了画家本人的某种偏爱。

Not but I think a painter may make a better face than ever was;画家不能通过这样画出更好看的脸but he must do it by a kind of felicity创造它的常常是构思,(as a musician that maketh an excellent air in music), and not by rule.(正如为曲子营造的氛围的音乐家)而不是公式。

A man shall see faces, that if you examine them part by part,you shall find never a good; and yet altogether do well.看并不优美,但作为整体却非常动人。

If it be true that the principal part of beauty虽然美之菁华无疑在于is in decent motion, certainly it is no marvel,优雅的举止though persons in years seem many times more amiable;但有些老人更显得很可爱pulchrorum autumnus pulcher; for no youth can be comely but by pardon,这印证了一句拉丁谚语:"暮秋之色更美。

"and considering the youth, as to make up the comeliness.而尽管有的年轻人具有美貌,却由于缺乏完美的修养而不配得到最好的赞美。

Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt, and cannot last;美犹如盛夏的水果,是容易腐烂而难保持的and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth,世上有许多美人他们有过放荡的青春and an age a little out of countenance;却迎受着愧悔的晚年but yet certainly again, if it light well,因此,应该把美的形貌与美的德行结合起来it maketh virtue shine, and vices blush.这样,美才会发出夺目的光辉。

02_Youth青春Nobody grows merely by a number of years we grow older by deserting our ideas. 人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致,更主要的是懒惰不思进取的结果。

Youth By Samuel Erman 青春塞缪尔.俄尔曼Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind,青春不是生命的一段时光it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees,不是指红润的脸颊、红扑扑的嘴唇和柔韧的双膝it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination,它是一种精神状态,是指不懈的干劲、丰富的想象力和滚烫的情怀。

a vigor of the emotions,它是生命春意正浓时的活力。

it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.它是生命之源勃勃生机的涌泉。

Youth means a temperamental predominance青春意味着战胜懦弱的of courage over timidity,那股大丈夫气概of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头Nobody grows merely by a number of years,人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致we grow old by deserting our ideas.更主要的是懒惰、不思进取的结果Years may wrinkle the skin,光阴可以在颜面上留下印记but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹Worry, fear,self- distrust bows the heart忧虑、恐惧、缺乏自信,会扭曲人的灵魂and turns the spirit back to dust.并将青春化为灰烬。

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders,无论是60岁还是16岁你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心,the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart, and my heart,和追求生活乐趣的热情。

在你我的心底,there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty,都有一座无线电台:它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite,希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量信息,so long as you are young.你就会年轻多长时间When the aerials are down,当天线倒塌时and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, 你的精神就被玩世不恭和悲观厌世的冰雪所覆盖,then you've grown old, even at 20,你就已经衰老了,即使你只是20岁;but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism,而你的天线巍然矗立着的时候,凭着高昂的乐观主义there's hope you may die young at 80.你就有希望在80岁死去时仍然韶华不逝。

Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story.This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over years of marriage nothing ever seems to go right.They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own family, there’s nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce.Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt that after 40 years of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn’t understand why the old couple would still wants a divorce.While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband. “I really love you, but I really can’t carry on anymore, I’m sorry.”“It’s OK, I understand.” said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just three of them, wife thought, why not, since they are still going be friends.At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness.The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old mantook the drumstick for the old lady. “Take this, it’s your favorite.”Looking at this, the lawyer t hought maybe there’s still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer. “This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don’t you know that I hate drumsticks?”Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband’s favorite.Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.That night, both of them couldn’t sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn. After hours, the old man couldn’t take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he can’t carry on life without her, he wants her back, he wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her, “I love you.”He picks up the phone, started dialing her number. Ringing never stops. He never stop dialing.On the other side, she was sad, she couldn’t understand how come after all these years, he still doesn’t understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but she just can’t take it any- more. Phone’s ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that it’s him. “What’s the point of talking now that it’s over. I have asked for it and now. I want to keep it this way, if not I will lose face. “She thought. Phone still ringing. She has decided to pull out the cord.Little did she remember, he had heart problems.The next day, she received news that he had passed away. She rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on thecouch still holding on to the phone. He had a heart attack when he was still trying to get thru her phone line.As sad as she could be. She will have to clear his belongings. When she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, beneficiary is her. Together in that file there’s this note.“To my dearest wife, by the time you are reading this, I’m sure I’m no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that I have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know I will always be around, by your side. I love you.”Tears flowed like river.When you love someone, let them know. You never know what will happen the next minute. Learn to build a life together. Learn to love each other for who they are,Not what they are.英语经典散文翻译:在一个阳光明媚的日子里,一对70多岁的老夫妇走进了律师事务所。

下面店铺为大家带来经典英语散文附译文,欢迎大家阅读!经典英语散文:自由飞翔One windy spring day,I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing. As the strong winds gusted against the kites,a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind,they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled,but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow,facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string,they seemed to say,“Let me go!Let me go!I want to be free!”Th ey soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally,one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,”it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze. It fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last” free to lie powerless in the dirt,to be blown helplessly along the ground,and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction.How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity and restrictions,rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us tug at the rules so hard thatwe never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights,recognizing that some of the restraints that we may chafe under are actually the steadying force that helps us ascend and achieve.散文译文:在一个有风的春日,我看到一群年轻人正在迎风放风筝玩乐,各种颜色、各种形状和大小的风筝就好像美丽的鸟儿在空中飞舞。

They worked together starting then to further American Revolution and later to shape the new scheme of government. From the work sprang a friendship perhaps incomparable in intimacy and the trustfulness of collaboration and induration. It lasted 50 years. It included pleasure and utility but over and above them, there were shared purpose, a common end and an enduring goodness on both sides. Four and a half months before he died, when he was ailing, debt-ridden, and worried about his impoverished family, Jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words andMadison's reply remind us that friends are friends until death. They also remind us that sometimes a friendship has a bearing on things larger than the friendship itself, for has there ever been a friendship of greater public consequence than this one?托马斯-杰斐逊和詹姆斯-麦迪逊相识于1776年。

茫茫的人海中,相识,其实,就是缘份……感觉,奥修所说的,也许是一种纯净、超越世俗和男女,充满神性和佛性的博爱,弥发,一种禅性和机锋,而我,却好像永远,都,无法参透……Be good to every one who becomes attached to us; cherish every friend who is by our side; love every one who walks into our life. It must be fate to get acquainted in a huge crowd of people...I feel, the love that Osho talks about, maybe is a kind of pure love beyond the mundane world, which is full of divinity and caritas, and overflows with Buddhist allegorical words and gestures, but, it seems that I cannot see through its true meaning forever...也许,我并不只是"接受";而是,因为那种爱,让我,情不自禁、无法抗拒、不能拒绝……知道吗,是你,点燃了我的生命!而我,固执的相信,这种情感,在我的生命中,只有一次。

因为爱,我们,不再孤单;因为,品尝,更多的寂寞。

Maybe, I do not just "absorb" your love; but because the love overpowers me and I am unable to dispute and refuse it...Do you know? It's you who light up my life! And I stubbornly believe that such love can only be experienced once in my life.

We are not at rest; we are on a journey, our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July, the season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.无论你在何处,无论你是何人,此刻,而且在我们生命的每时每刻,你与我有一点是类似的。

英文散文经典名篇 中英文

英文散文经典名篇中英文English: One of the most well-known classic English essays is "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. In this satirical piece, Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish could alleviate their economic troubles by selling their children as food to the wealthy. Through this absurd proposal, Swift critiques the attitudes of the ruling class towards the poor and exposes the inhumane treatment of the Irish people by the British government. The essay is a scathing commentary on the economic and social injustices of the time, using dark humor and irony to bring attention to the dire conditions faced by the Irish population.中文翻译: 《一个议顶的建议》是乔纳森·斯威夫特(Jonathan Swift)最著名的英语散文之一。

在这篇讽刺性的作品中,斯威夫特建议,贫困的爱尔兰人可以通过将他们的孩子卖给富人作为食物来缓解经济困境。

通过这个荒谬的建议,斯威夫特批评统治阶层对穷人的态度,并揭露了英国政府对爱尔兰人的残酷对待。

这篇散文尖刻地评论了当时的经济和社会不公正,运用黑色幽默和讽刺来引起人们对爱尔兰人口严峻情况的关注。

散文二:The Power of Kindness
Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. It has the power to break down barriers and bring people together. Kindness can be as simple as a smile, a kind word, or a thoughtful gesture. It costs nothing, but it can mean everything to someone in need.
True friendship is built on trust, respect, and understanding. It is not about the quantity of time spent together, but the quality of those moments. It’s about sharing laughter, wiping away tears, and being there for each other no matter what.
春天
春天是四季之一,位于冬天和夏天之间。在春天,天气开始变暖,白天变长。树木开始长新叶,鲜花开始盛开。整个世界似乎重新变得生机勃勃。
人们喜欢春天有很多原因。他们可以更频繁地出门,进行野餐、远足和园艺等各种活动。春天也是农民开始种植庄稼和小动物出生的时候。
春天是充满希望和快乐的季节。它代表了新的开始和成长。它提醒我们,无论冬天有多么艰难,春天总会带来温暖和快乐。
在这个有时候不够善待的世界里,选择善待会产生巨大的影响。它能照亮某人的一天,修复一颗受伤的心,甚至改变某人的一生轨迹。因此,让我们共同努力,在我们所到之处传播善待。

英文散文佳作赏析三篇中英对照

英文散文佳作赏析中英对照英文散文佳作赏析:《生命的三分之一》生命的三分之一One Third of Our Lifetime一个人的生命究竟有多大的意义,这有什么标准可以衡量吗?提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是,大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何,也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。

What is the significance of life? Is there any gauge to measure it? It would be very difficult, of course, trying to advance an absolute standard. However, the significance of one's existence can more or less be rated by examining his attitude toward life and work.古来一切有成就的人,都很严肃的对待自己的生命,当他活着一天,总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白的浪费掉。

我国历代的劳动人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。

Since ancient times all people of accomplishment are very serious about their lives. While they are alive, even if there is only one day left to live, they try to work as hard as they can and learn as much as possible, never letting a single day slip by without any gain. This is true of the working people as well as of the great statesmen and great thinkers in our history.班固写的《汉书食货志》上有下面的记载:“冬,民既人;妇人同巷相从夜绩,女工一月得四十五日。
