2、emysterious,hazyfutureandcarveoutofitanythingthatwecanimagine,justasasculptorcarvesastatuefromashapelessstone.我不知道是谁写的,可我很喜欢这句话,它提醒我们将来是由本人创造的。我们能够把神秘、不可知的将来塑造成我们想象中的任何样子容貌,如同雕刻家将未成形的石头刻成雕像。Weareallinthepositionofthefarmer.Ifweplantagoodseed,wereapagoodharvest.Ifourseedispoorandfullofweeds,wereapaus
3、elesscrop.Ifweplantnothingatall,weharvestnothingatall.我们每个人都像是农夫。洒下良种将有丰收,播下劣种或生满野草便将毁去收获。没有耕耘则会一无所获。Iwantthefuturetobebetterthanthepast.Idontwantitcontaminatedbythemistakesanderrorswithwhichhistoryisfilled.Weshouldallbeconcernedaboutthefuturebecausethatiswherewewillspendtheremainderofourlives.我希望将来

5、昔已逝,静如止水;我们无法再作改变。而前方的将来正生机勃勃;我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它。只要我们认识到这些,无论是在家中还是在工作上,天天我们的面前都会展现出新的天地。在人类致力开拓的每一片领域上,我们正站在进步的起跑点。英语美文欣赏别让这个时代越来越冷漠DontMaketheeraMoreandMoreIndifferentTheparadoxofourtimeinhistoryisthatwehavetallerbuildings,butshortertempers;widerfreeways,butnarrowerviewpoints;wespendmore,buthaveless

9、tnotinnerspace;wevedonelargerthings,butnotbetterthings.我们登上了月球,并成功返回,却不能穿过街道去拜访新邻居。我们已经征服了太空,却征服不了本人的内心;我们的事业越做越大,但质量却没有提高。Wevecleaneduptheair,butpollutedthesoul;wevesplittheatom,butnotourprejudice.Wewritemore,butlearnless;weplanmore,butaccomplishless.我们清洁了空气,却污染了灵魂;我们分离了原子,却无法驱除我们的偏见;我们写得更多,学到的却更少;

16、变故突如其来,直击眼前;有些却长期折磨,痛苦不堪。糟糕的事儿,它们驻留谷底。Thentherearethosehighpoints:romanceandmarriagetotherightperson;havingachildanddoingthoseDadthingslikecoachingmysonsbaseballteam,paddlingaroundthecreekintheboatwhilehesswimmingwiththedogs,discoveringhiscompassionsodeepitmanifestseveninhiskindnesstosnails,hisimagi
17、nationsovividhebuildsaspaceshipfromascatteredpileofLegos.当然生活也不乏熠熠光彩:坠入爱河缔结良缘;养育幼子身为人父,训练儿子的棒球队,当他和狗在水中嬉戏时,摇桨划船前瞻后顾,感受他如此强烈的同情心即便对蜗牛也善待有加,发现他如此活跃的想像力即便零散的积木也能堆出太空飞船。Butthereisavastmeadowoflifeinthemiddle,wherethebadandthegoodflip-flopacrobatically.Thisiswhatconvincesmetobelieveinthe50-percenttheory.

23、使地里长着的玉米免遭水灾。那年冬天,我的粮仓里堆满了玉米-饱满结实的玉米每株秆上结三个,每个玉米从底到顶端长满了玉米粒-而我的邻居们地里长出来的只是暗沉干瘪的壳。Althoughplantingspastmayhavefallenbelowthe50-percentexpectation,andtheyprobablywillagaininthefuture,Iamstillsustainedbythecropthatflourishesduringthedrought.尽管过去播种的收获没有到达50%的期望,而且将来可以能是这样,我仍然要为经历旱季仍然丰收的玉米而坚守阵地。经典英语美文三篇英语作为学习生涯中必不可少的课程,想学好真的不容易。我在此献上英语美文,希望大家喜欢。英语经典美文欣赏一切刚开场WereJustBeginningWearereadingthefirstverseofthefirstchapterofabookwhosepagesareinfi推荐度:
