at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high , later, many passersby in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music ,約翰的演奏會舉行時,一張票超過100美元,且一票難求。最捧場的是一位三歲小童,聽得入神。弦音曼妙,在空曠處流淌。But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?然而,如果你真的決定使用,你會做什么?怎么來做這個游戲?Wouldyou plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?你會左計劃、右計劃,然后才慢慢下筆嗎?Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?計劃會不會太泛太多,根本就達不到寫作這一步?Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?會不會提筆在手迫不及待地投入其中,任由手中的筆、筆下的字帶著你在詞海中上下翻騰、左突右沖?Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe(or pretend to believe)that the pen will write forever and proceed accord gly?會不會下筆謹小慎微,似乎墨水隨時都將干涸?會不會假裝或相信、或假裝相信筆中墨水永不會枯竭,任你揮灑?And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun?Misery?Life?Death?Nothing Everything?你會寫些什么?愛情?仇恨?樂趣?痛苦?生命?死亡?虛無空空抑或世事萬種?Would you write to please just yourself? Or others?Or yourself by writing for others?是會用來自娛?還是取悅他人?還是為人寫作而愉悅自身?Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain?你的一筆一劃會顫抖怯懦還是亮麗大膽?花里胡哨還是樸實無華?Would you even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to you sketch? Scribble? Doodle or draw?你確實會去寫嗎?你一旦有了這枝筆,卻也沒有規(guī)則說你一定就要去寫。Actually, no rule of the game states you must do of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, ,也沒有規(guī)則說你就一定要做些什么。Under the rules of the game, you really never have to take achance!而這一切你在動筆之前卻是一無所知。Write Your Own Suppose someone gave you a pen — a sealed, solidcolored couldn’t seehow much ink it ,一枝密封的、純色的水筆,里面有多少墨水你看不到。高人一等并沒有什么值得夸耀的。To regret one39。I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity ,內心生活開始更為嚴謹的人,他的外在生活也會變得更為簡樸。在人生清醒的時刻,在悲傷與失落的陰影之下,人們與真實的自我最為接近。痛苦與幸福交替出現,使得我們一會悲傷一會高興。第三篇:英語美文欣賞True Nobility真正的高貴In a calm sea every man is a ,每個人都是領航員。今天,我的老繭化為塵埃。它們就精煉在我要閱讀的文字中。葡萄的智慧代代相傳,有些被過濾,有些被淘汰,隨風飄逝。當我閱讀書卷中的字句時,絕不能因為文字的精煉而忽視內容的深沉。我也絕不打破每天閱讀的習慣。s message of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grapeskin and pulp are tossed to the it is with these grapes of wisdom from the has been filtered and tossed to the the pure truth lies distilled in the words to will drink as instructed and spill not a the seed of success I will my old skin has bee as will walk tall among men and they will know me not , for today I am a new man, with a new life.[參考譯文]今天,我開始新的生活我鄭重地發(fā)誓,絕不讓任何事情妨礙我新生命的成長。[美文欣賞]Today I begin a new I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard my new life39。只要我們認識到這些,無論是在家中還是在工作上,每天我們的面前都會展現出新的天地。往昔已逝,靜如止水;我們無法再作改變。我希望未來比過去更加美好,希望未來不會沾染歷史的錯誤與過失。灑下良種將有豐收,播下劣種或生滿野草便將毀去收成。我們可以把神秘、不可知的未來塑造成我們想象中的任何模樣,猶如雕刻家將未成形的石頭刻成雕像。不管什么原因,你確定上面有人不喜歡你。你在強大的壓力下頂替他人的位置,你的老板對你百般挑剔,辦公室里的每一個人都讓你發(fā)瘋。你或許被人拋棄、離了婚,或是被開除,當眾出丑,被刻薄的綽號弄得心亂如麻,或許只因為你得整天頂著一個其丑無比的發(fā)型。也許只是一覺醒來,沒有感覺到或者看到自己最棒的一面,發(fā)現自己又多了幾條皺紋,又重了幾斤,或是鼻子上冒出了一個大包。最后,你覺得自己猶如行尸走肉,失去生活目標。你感到灰心、焦慮,可能開始神經質地拼命咬指甲,然后不可救藥地陷入一眨眼吃掉三大塊巧克力蛋糕的瘋狂!在憂郁的日子里,你會覺得自己在悲傷的海里沉沉浮浮。在憂郁的日子里,你可能變成偏執(zhí)狂,覺得每個人都想要吃定你。你根本無法振作起來。那些日子真是慘透了,你覺得心里亂糟糟的、怨氣叢生、寂寞、整個人徹底的精疲力竭。經常將注意力集中于此情此景,此時此刻,你的努力終會有豐厚的報償。馬克.吐溫說過:“我經歷過生活中一些可怕的事情,有些的確發(fā)生過??謶志褪俏覀儞鷳n某些事情會在未來發(fā)生--我們不諱有足夠的錢,我們的孩子會惹上麻煩,我們會變老,會死去,諸如此類?,F在是我們所擁有的唯一時間,現在也是我們能控制的唯一的時間。許多人的生活好象是某個未來日子的彩排,并非如此。t think I can say it any keeping your attention on the here and effort will pay great dividends.[參考譯文]我們內心是否平和在很大程度上是由我們是否能生活在現實之中所決定的.不管昨天或去年發(fā)生了什么,不管明天可能發(fā)生或不發(fā)生什么,現實才是你時時刻刻所在之處。 fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our is the concern over events that might happen in the futurewe won39。other plans39。someday39。在人類致力開拓的每一片領域上,我們正站在進步的起跑點。而前方的未來正生機勃勃;我們所做的每一件事都將會影響著它。我們都應舉目向前,因我們的余生要用未來書寫。沒有耕耘則會一無所獲。我們每個人都像是農夫。第二篇:英語美文欣賞[美文欣賞]“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite...”I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless are all in the position of the we plant a good seed, we reap a good our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at want the future to be better than the don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our past is gone and we can do will change future is before us and we do will affect day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.[參考譯文]“我們正在讀一本書的第一章第一行,這本書的頁數是無限的??”我不知道是誰寫的,可我很喜歡這句話,它提醒我們未來是由自己創(chuàng)造的。我只有悄然佇立,早已明白自己將會是那個被遺棄的人。我仍不認為自己會再去經歷另一段愛情故事。在那美麗的夜晚,眼望湖水,恍惚中聽見你說:我們的故事已到盡頭。哦,我是這樣認為的。我們曾經孩子般戲水暢游過的小湖蓋滿落葉,在太陽下閃著光。秋之湖I remember quite clearly now when the story autumn leaves were floating in 1)measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun
