　　Everyone should be polite. Polite people show good manners.Moreover, they are popular. On the other hand, rude people arelooked down upon. Rudeness shows poor education. Therefore, why notbe polite? A simple “Please,” “Thank you,” or “You are welcome,”can make a big difference.

　　Learning English is like building a house. Laying a strongfoundation is the first and most important step. In otherwords, you should read and speak English every day. Memorizing newwords and phrases is also helpful. Like building a house, learningEnglish takes some time. So don’t be impatient.Remember,“Rome wasn’t built in a day”.

　　Many people put off until tomorrow what they can do today. Theyalways look for excuses to postpone（拖延）doing something .In the end,it never gets done. If we leave things undone, we willeventually worry. This will then cause unnecessary stress（压力）.Therefore, if you have this bad habit, it’s best to get rid of itand do things as soon as possible.

　　Manypeople are fond of showing off. They always insist on footing thebill when they are out with friends. They always think ofimpressing people with their wealth. They seem to think that moneycan buy friends. In fact, it can’t. Instead of trying to show off,they should be themselves.

　　Society is changingrapidly. As a result, more and more people are suffering fromstress. Those who are stressed out are often nervous ,angry or ill.People must, therefore learn to deal with this “new” kind ofproblem. Regular exercise is one way. The best way, however, is tokeep a good sense of humor.

　　Some people eat to live, but there are others who live to eat.To live a long and healthy life, we must learn to have a balanceddiet. A balanced diet sim* means a bit of everything. A dietwhich includes meat, fish, vegetables and fruit is, of course,ideal. If you watch your diet, then you won’t have to suffer thepain of going on a diet.

　　And the world seems dark and empty,

　　Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits,

　　And makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full,

　　Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times.

　　Look into your own life. If you scrub away the make-up of illusion and impurities of jealousy — can you see the clarity of grace? Can you understand how treasuring what's right in front of you is worth your time?

　　i am a slow walker，but i never walk backward.when i thought I could not go on,i forced myself to keep going.though the future is scary,you can't just run to the past because it is familiar.always remember,a man is not old as long as he's seeking something.a man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.

　　Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world-the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.

　　Both your heart and your mind need a master, and they can find the master in your ego. However, your ego will fill their role only if you use self-discipline. In the absence of self-discipline, your mind and heart will fight their battles as they please. In this situation the person within whose mind the fight is carried out often gets badly hurt.

　　You must control and direct your emotions not abolish them. Besides, abolition would be antimissile task. Emotions are like a river. Their power can be *ed up and released under control and direction, but is cannot be held forever in check. Sooner or later the dam will burst, unleashing catastrophic destruction.

　　Your forever friend follows,

　　If you lose you way,

　　Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.

　　Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.

　　And if you find such a friend,

　　You feel happy and complete,

　　Because you need not worry.

　　Someone who changes your life just by being part of it,

　　Someone who makes you laugh until you can’t stop,

　　Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world,

　　Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open,

　　This is Forever Friendship.

　　The weather in winter is a set of all the phenomena in a given atmosphere at a given time.

　　It also includes interactions with the hydrosphere.The term usually refers to the activity of these phenomena over short periods (hours or days), as opposed to the term climate, which refers to the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time.

　　Fire and Ice

　　Some say the world will end in fire,

　　Some say in ice.

　　From what I"ve tasted of desire，

　　I hold with those who favor [1] fire.

　　But if it had to perish [2] twice,

　　I think I know enough of hate

　　To know that for destruction ice

　　Is also great

　　Sometimes when we don't want to work, sometimes will suddenlywant to drink, sometimes you want to travel alone, sometimes you want to get married. There are so many thoughts in our minds, but just think about it. Perhaps we really need some courage, for some sudden ideas to try. Maybe, it will give you a big surprise!

　　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.

　　Life is full of confusing and disordering Particular time, a particular location, Do the arranged thing of ten million time in the brain, Step by step , the life is hard to avoid delicacy and stiffness No enthusiasm forever, No unexpected happening of surprising and pleasing So, only silently ask myself in mind Next happiness, when will come?

I can honestly say it's the happiest I've been in a while, if not ever, and to think that it's only been a month makes me even happier. Who knows what the next few years will bring.

　　I wanted to stop, and one day I did, just like that. Told myself I would focus on building and improving myself. I began to take pride in hygiene, exercising, and building hobbies (mainly playing the piano) It's been almost exactly a month since that day and I'd just like to share where I've gotten since then.

　　I remember quite clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in 1)measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been 2)longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely 3)conscious, you said: “Our story is ending.”

　　The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.

　　我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，你只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的故事已到尽头。

　　雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。但我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，我知道生命正离我而去。

　　"I'm going to marry you one day." Beth said to her long time crush Jake. She wore her favorite blue teddy bear shirt. Her four-year-old blue eyes shined in the sun.

　　"No you're not, you're a girl." Jake said.

　　The California afternoon wind blew his light brown hair. Jumping off the monkey bars he laughed back to class.

　　Sitting alone and confused she didn't know what to do. Beth sat high on the monkey bars crying. How can her future husband just leave like that?

　　She was going to get him, but how? "I will not let him get away! I won't! I won't!"

　　15 years later:

　　"I love you, too, Jake." Hanging up the phone she caught her mom smiling. "What?"

　　"When is he coming in from France? He's been there for awhile." She sat down on her black leather couch. The house was made up of different Indian stuff. On the walls were different dream catchers. Her mother was a full blood Cherokee Indian. She passed away when Beth was eight.

　　"He has a lot of schooling to do right now. Maybe this Saturday."

　　Fixing her short overalls she thought of Jake. Who would have thought they were going to date when she turned five?

　　"Is he still living in Colorado?" Her mother Kay wore a white tank top with tan pants. And long blonde hair with pretty blue eyes. She was the most beautiful woman on Earth. And Beth is looking like her by the minute.

　　"Yeah, I hate having a long distance relationship." She plopped on a leather chair.

　　"It's ok baby, you know he loves you more than anything in this world. Love will keep you together."

　　Beth could not help but smile. Her mother is and will always be her best friend.

　　Jake sat in his hotel the school rented for him. School of law. He loved going overseas for everything. But he missed being with Beth. That hurt him the most.

　　Spending the lonely nights in the hotel made him think of how much it would hurt to spend the rest of his life without her in it.

　　Getting up off his bed he went into the bathroom. Watching his reflection in the mirror, all he could think about was Beth. He would leave Thursday, and get there Friday night.

　　Turning off the light he jumped into the cold bed. On a coffee table near his bed rested a frame with them in it. It was taken at a beach about two years ago. It was the best time of their lives.

　　It was Thursday morning and Beth waited for Jake's morning phone call. He would call at eight — it was ten.

　　Beth got out of bed and got her favorite blue tank top. She took off her shirt and screamed at the top of her lungs.

　　"What? What?" Her mother came rushing into her room. Staring at her naked daughter she saw the lump of her breast. "Does it hurt?"

　　Beth could only say "No." Looking at the lump, she cried in pain.

　　"Let's get you to the doctor."

　　"Ok, let me get dressed."

　　Shutting the door behind her, the room became silent. Shaking she put on her shirt, and ran out into the living room.

　　"Mom, where are my blue shorts?"

　　"In the dresser, second drawer."

　　Finishing getting dressed she hopped into her car. Her red mustang drove like a baby.

　　They waited for the doctor to come in. Beth could not begin to think she had cancer. As her mind drifted off her cell phone rang.

　　"Hello?" Her heart skipped a beat, hoping it was Jake.

　　"Hey, how are you?" He asked out of breath.

　　"Could be better. Why didn't you call me this morning?"

　　"Sorry, school got ahold of me today."

　　"Why are you out of breath?" Looking stunned she stared at her mother.

　　"I'm so sorry, he'll call back." Her mother gave Beth a hug.

　　The doctor came in, and greeted his self. "Hello. I'm Kevin Baker." He smiled while examining her breast.

　　Everyone has that period in which they find those who are close to them start to seem annoying .

　　每个人都会经历这样的时期：发现身边那些亲*的人开始变得有点烦了。

　　You suddenly realized that they've always been talking and talking.

　　你会突然意识到，长久以来他们就一直不停地在说啊说。

　　They never stopped.

　　他们从来就没有停过。

　　Some of us get angry with them, thinking they are trying too hard to intervene in our lives.

　　我们中的有些人，会开始变得愤怒，觉得他们对我们的生活介入太多。

　　But don't.

英语美文摘抄

英语美文摘抄（精选10篇）

　　英语（English），属于印欧语系中日耳曼语族下的西日耳曼语支，是由古代从丹麦等斯堪的纳维亚半岛以及德国、荷兰及周边移民至不列颠群岛的盎格鲁、撒克逊和朱特部落的日耳曼人所说的语言演变而来，并通过英国的殖民活动传播到了世界各地。下面是小编为你带来的英语美文摘抄（精选10篇），欢迎阅读。

　　Rush 匆匆--朱自清

　　Swallows may have gone, but there is a time of return; willow trees may have died back, but there is a time of regreening; peach blossoms may have fallen, but they will bloom again. Now, you the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return? - If they had been stolen by someone, who could it be? Where could he hide them? If they had made the escape themselves, then where could they stay at the moment?

　　燕子去了，有再来的时候；杨柳枯了，有再青的时候；桃花谢了，有再开的时候。但是，聪明的，你告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？——是有人偷了他们罢：那是谁？又藏在何处呢？是他们自己逃走了：现在又到了哪里呢？

　　I dont know how many days I have been given to spend, but I do feel my hands are getting empty. Taking stock silently, I find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me. Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean, my days are dripping into the stream of time, soundless, traceless. Already sweat is starting on my forehead, and tears welling up in my eyes.

　　我不知道他们给了我多少日子；但我的手确乎是渐渐空虚了。在默默里算着，八千多日子已经从我手中溜去；象针尖上一滴水滴在大海里，我的日子滴在时间的流里，没有声音也没有影子。我不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸了。

　　Those that have gone have gone for good, those to come keep coming; yet in between, how swift is the shift, in such a rush? When I get up in the morning, the slanting sun marks its presence in my small room in two or three oblongs. The sun has feet, look, he is treading on, lightly and furtively; and I am caught, blankly, in his revolution. Thus--the day flows away through the sink when I wash my hands, wears off in the bowl when I eat my meal, and passes away before my day-dreaming gaze as reflect in silence. I can feel his haste now, so I reach out my hands to hold him back, but he keeps flowing past my withholding hands. In the evening, as I lie in bed, he strides over my body, glides past my feet, in his agile way. The moment I open my eyes and meet the sun again, one whole day has gone. I bury my face in my hands and heave a sigh. But the new day begins to flash past in the sigh.

　　去的尽管去了，来的尽管来着，去来的中间，又怎样的匆匆呢？早上我起来的时候，小屋里射进两三方斜斜的太阳。太阳他有脚啊，轻轻悄悄地挪移了；我也茫茫然跟着旋转。于是——洗手的时候，日子从水盆里过去；吃饭的时候，日子从饭碗里过去；默默时，便从凝然的双眼前过去。我觉察他去的匆匆了，伸出手遮挽时，他又从遮挽着的手边过去，天黑时，我躺在床上，他便伶伶俐俐地从我身边垮过，从我脚边飞去了。等我睁开眼和太阳再见，这算又溜走了一日。我掩着面叹息。但是新来的日子的影儿又开始在叹息里闪过了。

　　What can I do, in this bustling world, with my days flying in their escape? Nothing but to hesitate, to rush. What have I been doing in that eight-thousand-day rush, apart from hesitating? Those bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind, or evaporated as mist by the morning sun. What traces have I left behind me? Have I ever left behind any gossamer traces at all? I have come to the world, stark naked; am I to go back, in a blink, in the same stark nakedness? It is not fair though: why should I have made such a trip for nothing!

　　在逃去如飞的日子里，在千门万户的世界里的我能做些什么呢？只有徘徊罢了，只有匆匆罢了；在八千多日的匆匆里，除徘徊外，又剩些什么呢？过去的日子如轻烟却被微风吹散了，如薄雾，被初阳蒸融了；我留着些什么痕迹呢？我何曾留着象游丝样的痕迹呢？我赤裸裸来到这世界，转眼间也将赤裸裸地回去罢？但不能*的，为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊？

　　You the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return?

　　你聪明的，告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？

　　Virtue 美德

　　Sweet day,so cool,so calm,so bright! 甜美的白昼，如此凉爽、安宁、明媚！

　　The bridal of the earth and sky- 天地间完美的匹配-----

　　The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; 今宵的露珠儿将为你的消逝而落泪；

　　For thou must die. 因为你必须离去。

　　Sweet rose,whose hue angry and brave, 美丽的玫瑰，色泽红润艳丽，

　　Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, 令匆匆而过的人拭目而视，

　　Thy root is ever in its grave, 你的根永远扎在坟墓里，

　　And thou must die. 而你必须消逝。

　　Sweet spring,full of sweet days and roses, 美妙的春天，充满了美好的日子和芳香的玫瑰，

　　A box where sweets compacted lie, 如一支芬芳满溢的盒子，

　　My music shows ye have your closes, 我的音乐表明你们也有终止，

　　And all must die, 万物都得消逝。

　　Only a sweet and virtuous soul, 唯有美好而正直的心灵，

　　Like season‘d timber,never gives; 犹如干燥备用的木料，永不走样；

　　But though the whole world turn to coal, 纵然整个世界变为灰烬，

　　Then chiefly lives. 它依然流光溢彩。

　　YOUTH

　　Samuel Ullman

　　Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

　　Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

　　Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

　　Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

　　青春

　　塞缪尔·厄尔曼

　　青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

　　青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

　　岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

　　无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

　　一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉希望。

　　Do you fear the wind?

　　Do you fear the force of the wind,

　　The slash of the rain?

　　Go face them and fight them,

　　Be savage again.

　　Go hungry and cold like the wolf,

　　Go wade like the crane:

　　The palms of your hands will thicken,
