　　英語散文經典名篇：海邊的生活

　　在繁忙的生活中，不要忘記適時地停下腳步，聞一聞玫瑰花的香氣，感受一下雨后空氣的清新。生命短暫，時光流逝如白駒過隙一般。我們應該盡情地享受這美好的時光。

　　I have grown up and lived near water my entire life and l have witnessed the ocean"s power in all forms. It can bring the simplest beauty in the gift of a shell or the harshest danger from the pull of a rip tide.

　　我生長在海邊，一生都在海邊度過，因此，我見證了大海各種各樣的力量。大海可以通過貝殼展現最純樸的美，也能夠用驚濤駭浪帶來最嚴酷的危害。

　　The waves, currents, and tides of the sea are much the same as the ups, downs and precariousness of life itself. Just as the ocean can be a mix of tranquility and disturbance so can life be a mix of calm and duress.

　　大海的波濤、水流與潮汐，與人生的跌宕起伏非常相似。大海可以風平浪靜也可以波濤洶涌，人生也是如此，可以容納平靜與束縛。

　　The lessons of the sea, both good and bad, have followed me through my personal and professional life. And I have learned that I can often reflect on these and lead a more meaningful life of inner peace.

　　在我的個人生活與職業生涯中，大海教會我的東西很多，有好的也有壞的。而且我還發現，如果自己能經常仔細思考這些，就會過上內心平靜、更具意義的生活。

　　It is about accepting life"s balance of nature as reflected in the waters of the ocean. Facing challenges will always be a part of life, but I have learned from the sea how to face them with calm. As seaman and divers have discovered,many essential skills at sea run parallel to lessons for living a meaningful, peaceful life.

　　通過對海浪的思考，我學習接受生活的本質——平衡。生活中，人們總是需要面臨各種各樣的挑戰，但是我從大海中學習到怎樣才能平靜地面對挑戰。水手和潛水者們都發現，許多從海洋中學到的經驗在把生活過得平靜且充滿意義這一過程中同樣適用。

　　Sometimes body surfing can turn into an all-out knockdown fest from the ocean. Wave after wave seems to come quicker before you can catch a good one. And dodging, diving and coming up for air before the next one strikes can send you swimming for shore.

　　有時，人體沖浪會演變成全力以赴對抗大海的狂歡。在你捕捉到適宜的海浪之前，浪潮一浪又一浪地涌向你，越來越快。在海浪把你沖到岸邊之前，要注意躲閃、潛伏、抬頭換氣。

　　Challenges in life seem to come in waves and we can find our dexterity for handling tough situations waning.Face those waves head on just like a boat, or else you"ll capsize. If you procrastinate. whine, and complain about the hard situations in life, the waves of difficulties will roll you upside down. Be proactive when facing down a challenge.Be determined to solve your problems, or life will be determined to knock you down like a rogue wave.

　　生活中的挑戰似乎也是一波一波到來的，而且我們會發現自己處理棘手情況的能力正在減弱。面對挫折就好比迎著海浪前進的航船，一不小心就會傾覆。如果你猶豫不決、悲悲戚戚、牢騷滿腹地抱怨生活的艱難，那么一浪又一浪的困境將會讓你摔個底朝天。在面臨挑戰的時候，你要主動出擊。你必須下定決心去解決自己的問題，否則生活將會像滔天的巨浪一樣把你擊倒。

　　英語散文經典名篇：陽光下的時光

　　"...I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days."-Henry David Thoreau.

　　“……我雖然不是富甲天下，卻擁有無數個艷陽天和夏日。”——亨利·大衛·梭羅

　　When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden Pond he knew as a boy.

　　寫這句話時，梭羅想起了孩提時代的瓦爾登湖。

　　Woodchoppers and the iron horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days "when idleness was the most attractive and productive business."

　　那時候，伐木者和火車尚未嚴重破壞湖畔的美麗景致。小男孩可以走向湖中，背靠小舟，自一岸緩緩漂向另一岸，周圍有鳥兒戲水，燕子翻飛。梭羅喜歡回憶這樣的艷陽天和夏日，“慵懶是最迷人也是最具吸引力的事情!”

　　I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what they always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer finds much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city.

　　我曾經也是熱愛池塘的小男孩，擁有無數個艷陽天與夏日。如今陽光、夏日依舊，但男孩和池塘卻已改變。男孩已經長大成人，不再有那么多時間泛舟湖上，而池塘也為大城市結合。

　　The swamps where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with houses. The bay where water lilies quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short,everything that the boy loved no longer exists - except in the man"s memory of it.

　　曾有蒼鷺覓食的沼澤，現如今已枯竭殆盡，上面蓋滿了房舍。曾有睡蓮靜靜漂浮的湖面，現如今已成了摩托艇的避風港。總之，男孩所愛的一切都已不復存在——只留在人們的回憶中。

　　Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.

　　有些人堅持認為只有今日和明日才是重要的，可是如果真的照此生活，我們將是何其可憐!許多我們今日做的事都是瑣碎無聊的，而且很快就會被忘記。許多我們期待明日要做的事卻從來沒有發生過。

　　The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.

　　過去是一所銀行，我們將最寶貴的財富——回憶珍藏其中，回憶賦予我們生命的意義和深度。

　　Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost.

　　那些真正珍惜過去的人，不會惋惜舊日美好時光的逝去，因為珍藏于記憶深處的時光永不流失。

　　Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.

　　死亡本身無力止住一個記億中的聲音，或抹掉一個記憶中的微笑。對現已長大成人的那個男孩來說，有一個池塘不會因時間和潮汐而改變，在那里，他可以繼續享受陽光下的安靜時光。

　　英語散文經典名篇：人生如旅程

　　Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

　　人生好似一個包裹,這個包裹里藏著快樂與悲傷、成功與失敗,希望與絕望。人生也是一個學習的過程。那些經歷給我們上了全新的課,讓我們變得更好。隨著每一天的過去,我們學會了處理各種各樣的問題。

　　Love

　　愛

　　Love plays a pivotal role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go haywire and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who showed us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

　　愛在生活之外扮演了一個關鍵的角色。愛使你想要得到些什么。沒有愛,一個人將走向不歸路,變得兇暴、殘忍。在我們最初的人生道路上,我們的父母給予了我們無條件的關愛,他們教會我們判斷正確與錯誤、好與壞。然而我們常常把這想當然了,只有等到我們結了婚并且有了孩子之后,一個人才會懂得并注意別人的感受。 孩子讓我們變得富有責任心、變得成熟穩重,并且更好的理解人生。

　　Happiness and Sorrow

　　快樂與悲傷

　　Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

　　物質上的快樂往往是短暫的,然而,當你給予他人一個微笑的時候,那種滿足卻是無與倫比的。心靈的平靜往往是快樂的源泉。沒有平和的心態就沒有快樂的心情。 在傷心的時候,我們往往能夠體會到快樂的真諦。悲傷基本都來自于一個愛人的去世、失敗還有絕望,但是這樣的事情都是暫時的,總會過去的。

　　Failure and Success

　　失敗與成功

　　Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

　　失敗是成功之母。它讓我們觸及藍天,它教會我們如何生存,它給予我們一條特殊的路。成功給予我們金錢、名譽、驕傲和自尊。這里,保持頭腦清醒便顯得尤為重要。唯一能讓我們感激上帝給予的成功便是始終卑微、謙虛、禮貌并且尊重沒有我們幸運的人們。

　　Hope and Despair

　　希望與絕望

　　Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice - keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

　　希望是人生動力之源。父母總是希望自己的孩子能夠做得很好。希望使我們有夢想。希望使我們變得有耐心。人生教會我們即使是在最困難的時候都不要絕望,因為黑暗之后終將是黎明。沒有什么事一成不變的,我們惟有充滿希望地繼續生活。

　　Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

　　人生教會我們不要對過去的事感到后悔,因為過去的終究是過去了并且我們已無法控制。沒人知道明天會是怎樣,因為它可以是光明的同樣也可以是無趣的。所以,唯一的選擇便是在今天努力工作,這樣才能讓我們去享受更美好的明天。
