高中英语必背经典美文篇一

When You are Old by W.B YEATS

当你年老时，叶芝

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

当你年老，鬓斑，睡意昏沉，

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

在炉旁打盹时，取下这本书，

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

慢慢诵读，梦忆从前你双眸，神色柔和，眼波中倒影深深;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

多少人爱你风韵妩媚的时光，

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

爱你的美丽出自假意或真情，

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

但唯有一人爱你灵魂的至诚，

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

爱你渐衰的脸上愁苦的风霜;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

弯下身子，在炽红的壁炉边，

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

忧伤地低诉，爱神如何逃走，

And paced upon the mountains overhead

在头顶上的群山巅漫步闲游，

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

把他的面孔隐没在繁星中间。

Elegy 9 by Ovid, translated by Christopher Marlowe

Yet should I curse a god, if he but said,

Live without love, so sweet ill is a maid.

For when my loathing it of heat deprives me,

I know not whether my mind's whirlwind drives me.

Even as a headstrong courser bears away,

His rider vainly striving him to stay,

Or as a sudden gale thrusts into sea,

The haven touching bark now near the lea,

So wavering Cupid brings me back amain,

And purple Love resumes his darts again.

Strike boy, I offer thee my naked breast,

Here thou hast strength, here thy right hand doth rest.

Here of themselves thy shafts come, as if shot,

Better then I their quiver knows them not.

Hapless is he that all the night lies quiet and slumb'ring,

thinks himself much blessed by it.

Fool, what is sleep but image of cold death,

Long shalt thou rest when Fates expire thy breath.

But me let crafty damsels words deceive,

Great joys by hope I inly shall conceive.

Now let her flatter me, now chide me hard,

Let me enjoy her oft, oft be debarr'd.

Cupid by thee, Mars in great doubt doth trample,

And thy step-father fights by thy example.

Light art thou, and more windy then thy wings,

Joys with uncertain faith thou tak'st and brings.

Yet Love, if thou with thy fair mother hear ,

Within my breast no desert empire bear.

Subdue the wandring wenches to thy reign,

So of both people shalt thou homage gain.

the price of a miracle

奇迹的价格

Tess was a precocious eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew.

听爸爸妈妈谈起小弟安德鲁的事情时，苔丝已是一个早熟的8岁小女孩。

All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.

她只知道弟弟病得很厉害，父母却无钱给他医治。

奇迹的价格.jpg

They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn't have the money for the doctor's bills and our house.

下个月他们要搬到一个公寓房，因为爸爸已经无力支付医药费和我们的房款。

Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no-one to loan them the money.

“现在唯一可以救他的办法就是做手术，但手术费用非常昂贵，没有人肯借钱给我们。”

She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”

她听到爸爸对满含泪水的妈妈低声而绝望地说：“现在只有奇迹可以救他了。”

Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet.

苔丝回到房间，从壁橱一个隐藏的地方拿出一个玻璃瓶子，

She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes.

把里面所有的零钱倒在地上并仔细数了3次，直到确定无误。

Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap,

她仔细地把硬币放回瓶子并把盖子拧好

she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

悄悄地从后门溜出去，穿过六条街区，来到门上有红色印地安语大标志的Rexall药店。

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment.

她耐心地等待着药剂师，可是药剂师非常忙，并没有注意她。

Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good.

她耐心地等待着药剂师，可是药剂师非常忙，并没有注意她。

Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!

最后，她从瓶子里拿出个2角5分的硬币摔在玻璃柜台上，弄出清脆的响声。成功了!

“And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

“你需要点什么?”药剂师不耐烦地问，

“I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages, “he said without waiting for a reply to his question.”

“我要去接我的弟弟，他从芝加哥来，我们很多年没见了。”他没等苔丝说话就接着说起来。

“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He's really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle.”

“我要去接我的弟弟，他从芝加哥来，我们很多年没见了。”他没等苔丝说话就接着说起来。

“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.

“你说什么?”药剂师问到，

“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”

“他叫安德鲁，他病得很厉害，爸爸说现在只有奇迹能救他。所以，请问奇迹多少钱?”

“We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little.

“我们这里不卖奇迹，小女孩，很抱歉不能帮助你，”药剂师稍带温和地说。

“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”

“听着，我有很多钱，如果这里的不够，我就回去取剩下的，请告诉我奇迹多少钱?”

100字英语美文篇一

I was on vacation in Hawaii with my family. We were at the beach all day and at some point I took off my ring I got as a gift from my mom for graduation (beautiful, gold, inscribed, full of sentimental value) and placed it in the cup holder of a foldable chair. Beach day continues, and we pack up and go home. Once home, I realize what I've done. I realize my ring isn't on my finger. Panic ensues.

我正和家人在夏威夷度假，我们一整天都待在沙滩上。有那么一会儿我把戒指摘了下来，这枚戒指是妈妈送我的毕业礼物(很漂亮的带有花纹的金戒指，其中蕴含了很多情感价值)，我把它放在了折叠椅的杯架上。沙滩上还未日落时我们收拾好东西回家了。一到家我就想起来了，我发现戒指不在手上就慌了。

We race back to the beach with only 20 minutes to spare before sunset. Get to the beach and locate the general area wewere laying out earlier.

还有20分钟就日落了，我们奔回海滩。到了海滩，我们找到了白天休息的大概位置。

About 15 strangers in the area got down on their hands and knees to help my sobbing mess self search for my ring. And they helped me to the end. Eventually in a stroke of luck, I find the ring. I stand up and exclaim to the group of kind strangers "I found it". They all crowd around me so happy and congratulatory as though they had stake in this game. My tears of loss turn into tears of joy and thankfulness for the amazing effort put forth by this group of people.

在那儿有大约15个陌生人，他们都趴在地上帮助哭成泪人的我找戒指。他们一直帮我找到最后。最终机缘巧合我找到了戒指。我站起来朝那群善良的陌生人喊：“我找到了。”他们都很开心地围到我身边大声庆贺，好像他们赌赢了这场比赛。我之前因为丢东西而哭，现在变成了因为高兴和感激这群人所付出的努力而哭。

100字英语美文篇三

We found him a few weeks ago, walking along the road in a rural area. He was jumping on cars, and we thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby, so we passed him by. A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still in the same place, again, trying to get folks to stop for him. When he saw us, he laid down in the middle of the road, so we were unable to get around him.

我们是在几周前发现他的，当时它正走在一条乡间的小路上。它试图跳上我们的车子，我们想它的家人大概在附近露营，所以也没有多想，就把车子开走了。几个小时后，在回程的路上它又出现在相同的地方，试图让经过的人停下。当它看到我们的时候，就立马躺在路中间，让我们没有办法摆脱它。

We stopped the car and looked around for a few minutes, trying to figure out if anyone was around from whom he was separated. It didn't appear so. Then we took a good look at the dog. He had no collar and he was really thin. We decided he was abandoned.

我们停车在附近张望了几分钟，想要看看丢失它的主人是否就在附近，结果没有主人出现。这时我们又好好观察了这只小狗，它没有带项圈，而且十分消瘦，它应该是被遗弃了。

My hu**and said, "If he doesn't bite me when I try to pick him up to put him in the car, then we have a new dog." The dog happily joined us with no fight at all. The only thing we were in danger of was getting licked to death. He kept sticking his head between the two front seats and thanking us for picking him up.

丈夫说，要是他不咬我，我们就收养它。一路上狗狗和我们相处融洽，一点儿都没有冲突，它舔得我们快要窒息了。他坚持把头伸到我和丈夫的座位中间，就好像感激我们收留它一样。

The dog was clearly on the road for some time. He was extremely under weight. He was covered in scars and new wounds. We have surmised that some of the scars were from when he was on the road, we are thinking possible fights with coyotes, but he also looks as though he was used for fighting other dogs. We figured his incredibly sweet personality was the reason he was abandoned. He must not have been a good fighting dog.

这只狗肯定在路上流浪了有段时间，骨瘦嶙峋，我们还在他的身上发现疤痕和新的伤口。我们推测他的上伤是在路上土狼或者是和其他狗打架所致。这只狗脾气很好但也可能是被抛弃的原因，它不是一只好的斗犬。

So, we fed him a lot over the course of the next two weeks and he gained over twenty pounds. We took him to the veterinarian, who said the dog appears to be in good health, despite his having been abandoned. The vet guessed the dog is about two or three years of age, from the condition of his teeth. The vet gave him all the required shots and sent us on our way.

收养它的头两个星期我们喂了它很多，它身上有超过20处伤口。于是我们带它去看了兽医。兽医告诉我们，除了被抛弃，它的身体状况良好，从它的牙齿推测它大约两三岁大。医生给它注射完所需要的疫苗以后，我们就回家了。

We do love this dog. He has obviously been mistreated and yet, he still is so very sweet. He had no manners, but he is a quick learner. He no longer tries to get on the bed, but he does like sitting in one of the folding chairs.

我们很喜欢这只狗。他之前显然是被虐待了，它还是一如既往的好脾气。它没有什么坏习惯，但是它学东西很快，它不再跳上我们的床了，它更喜欢一张折叠椅。

Since then, he has become a member of our family.

从那以后，它成了我们家庭的一员。

值得背诵的英语美文篇一

I “Heard” the Love

When I was growing up I do not recall hearing the words “I love you” from my father. When your father never says them to you when you are a child, it gets tougher and tougher for him to say those words as he gets older. To tell the truth, I could not honestly remember when I had last said those words to him either. I decided to set my ego aside and make the first move. After some hesitation, in our next phone conversation I blurted out the words, “Dad… I love you!”

There was a silence at the other end and he awkwardly replied, “Well, same back at ya!”

I chuckled and said, “Dad, I know you love me, and when you are ready, I know you will say what you want to say.”

Fifteen minutes later my mother called and nervously asked, “Paul, is everything okay?”

A few weeks later, Dad concluded our phone conversation with the words, “Paul, I love you.” I was at work during this conversation and the tears were rolling down my cheeks as I finally “heard” the love. As we both sat there in tears we realized that this special moment had taken our father/son relationship to a new level.

A short while after this special moment, my father narrowly escaped death following heart surgery. Many times since, I have pondered the thought, if I did not take the first step and Dad did not survive the surgery, I would have never “heard” the love.

Things Aren’t Always What They Seem

Two traveling angles stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angles stay in the mansion’s guestroom. Instead the angles were given a *** all space in the cold basement. As they made their bed in the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angle asked why, the older angle replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angles found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole ine, lay dead in the field. The younger angle was infuriated and asked the older angle how he could have let this happen. “The first man had everything, yet you helped him,” he accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow lie”.

“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angle replied. “when we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it.”

“Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angle of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.

有些事并不象它看上去那样

两个旅行中的天使到一个富有的家庭借宿。这家人对他们并不友好，并且拒绝让他们在舒适的客人卧室过夜，而是在冰冷的地下室给他 们找了一个角落。当他们铺床时，较老的天使发现墙上有一个洞， 就顺手把它修补好了。年轻的天使问为什么，老天使答到： “有些事并不象它看上去那样。”

第二晚，两人又到了一个非常贫穷的农家借宿。主人夫妇俩对他们非常热情，把仅有的一点点食物拿出来款待客人，然后又让出自己的床铺给两个天使。第二天一早，两个天使发现农夫和他的妻子在哭泣--他们唯一的生活来源，一头奶牛死了。年轻的天使非常愤怒，他质问老天使为什么会这样，第一个家庭什么都有，老天使还帮助他们修补墙洞，第二个家庭尽管如此贫穷还是热情款待客人，而老天使却没有阻止奶牛的死亡。

“有些事并不象它看上去那样。”老天使答道，“当我们在地下室过夜时，我从墙洞看到墙里面堆满了金块。因为主人被贪欲所迷惑，不愿意分享他的财富，所以我把墙洞填上了。

“昨天晚上，死亡之神来召唤农夫的妻子，我让奶牛代替了她。所以有些事并不象它看上去那样。”

The Fox and the Horse

一个农夫有一匹勤勤恳恳、任劳任怨为他干活的马，但这匹马现在已经老了，干活也不行了，所以，农夫不想再给马吃东西。他对马说：“我再也用不着你了，你自己离开马厩走吧，到你比一头狮子更强壮时，我自然会把你牵回来的。”

说完，他开启门，让马自己去谋生去了。

A peasant had a faithful horse which had grown old and could do no more work, so his master no longer wanted to give him anything to eat and said, "I can certainly make no more use of you, but still I mean well by you, and if you prove yourself still strong enough to bring me a lion here, I will maintain you. But for now get out of my stable." And with that he chased him into the open field.

The horse was sad, and went to the forest to seek a little protection there from the weather. There the fox met him and said, "Why do you hang your head so, and go about all alone?"

"Alas," replied the horse, "greed and loyalty do not dwell together in one house. My master has forgotten what services I have performed for him for so many years, and because I can no longer plow well, he will give me no more food, and has driven me out."

"Without giving you a chance?" asked the fox.

"The chance was a bad one. He said, if I were still strong enough to bring him a lion, he would keep me, but he well knows that I cannot do that."

The fox said, "I will help you. Just lie down, stretch out as if you were dead, and do not stir."

The horse did what the fox asked, and then the fox went to the lion, who had his den not far off, and said, "A dead horse is lying out there. Just e with me, and you can have a rich meal."

The lion went with him, and when they were both standing by the horse the fox said, "After all, it is not very fortable for you here - I tell you what -I will fasten it to you by the tail, and then you can drag it into your cave and eat it in peace."

This advice pleased the lion. He positioned himself, and in order that the fox might tie the horse fast to him, he kept pletely quiet. But the fox tied the lion's legs together with the horse's tail, and twisted and fastened everything so well and so strongly that no amount of strength could pull it loose. When he had finished his work, he tapped the horse on the shoulder and said, "Pull, white horse, pull!"

Then up sprang the horse at once, and pulled the lion away with him. The lion began to roar so that all the birds in the forest flew up in terror, but the horse let him roar, and drew him and dragged him across the field to his master's door. When the master saw the lion, he was of a better mind, and said to the horse, "You shall stay with me and fare well." And he gave him plenty to eat until he died.
