3、ock.鲈鱼季节开放的前一天晚上，他和父亲晚上很早就开场准备了。他们用小虫做诱饵来钓太阳鱼和鲈鱼。他系上鱼饵，练习怎样抛线。鱼钩击在水面，在夕阳中漾起一片金色的涟漪，夜晚月亮升出湖面时，涟漪变成银色。当鱼杆向下弯的时候，他知道线的另一端一定钓到了一条大鱼。父亲看着他技巧纯熟地在码头边沿和鱼周旋，眼神充满赞扬。Finally,heveryingerlyliftedtheexhaustedfishfromthewater.Itwasthelargestonehehadeverseen,butiswasabass.Theboyandhisfatherlookedatthehandsomefish,g
4、illsplayingbackandforthinthemoonlight.最后他小心翼翼地将筋疲力尽的鱼提出水面。这是他所见过的最大的一条，还是一条鲈鱼。男孩和他父亲看着这条漂亮的鱼，它的鱼鳃在月光下一张一翕。Thefatherlitamatchandlookedathiswatch.Itwas10P.M.-twohoursbeforetheseasonopened.Helookedatthefish,thenattheboy.父亲檫着一根火柴，看了看表。十点了-离开禁还有两个小时。他看了看鱼，又看了看男孩。Youllhavetoputitback,son.hesaid.你得把它放回去，孩子
5、。父亲讲道。Dad!criedtheboy.爸爸!男孩叫道。Therewillbeotherfish,saidhisfather.还有其他的鱼嘛。父亲讲道。Notasbigasthisone,criedtheboy.但没这么大。男孩叫道。Helookedaroundthelake.Nootherfishermenorboatswereanywherearoundinthemoonlight.Helookedagainathisfather.Eventhoughnoonehadseenthem,norcouldanyoneeverknowwhattimehecaughtthefish,thebo

7、没有商量余地，即便没有人看到他们，更无从得知他们何时钓到了鱼。他渐渐地将鱼钩从大鲈鱼的唇上取下，然后蹲下将鱼放回水中。鱼儿摆动着它强健的身躯，消失在水中。男孩想，他可能再也看不到这么大的鱼了。Thatwas34yearsago.Today,theboyisasuccessfularchitectinNewYorkCity.Hisfatherscabinisstillthereontheislandinthemiddleofthelake.Hetakeshisownsonanddaughtersfishingfromthesamedock.那是34年前的事了。如今，男孩是纽约的一个成功的建筑师，
8、他父亲的小屋仍然在湖心岛上，他带着本人的儿女仍然在同一个码头上钓鱼。Andhewasright.Hehasneveragaincaughtsuchamagnificentfishastheonehelandedthatnightlongago.Buthedoesseethatsamefish-againandagain-everytimehecomesupagainstaquestionofethics.他猜得没错。自那次以后，他再也没有钓上过那么大的鱼了。但每次他面临道德难题而举棋不定的时候，他的眼前再三浮现出那条鱼。For,ashisfathertaughthim,ethicsaresim

10、况下，仍将公司股份卖掉?Wewouldifweweretaughttoputthefishbackwhenwewereyoung.Forwewouldhavelearnedthetruth.Thedecisiontodorightlivesfreshandfragrantinourmemory.在我们还小的时候，假如有人教诲我们把鱼放回去，我们会这样做，由于我们还在学习真理。正确的决定在我们的记忆里变得深入而明晰。Itisastorywewillproudlytellourfriendsandgrandchildren.Notabouthowwehadachancetobeatthesyste

13、eenmeandthesubjectinhand.Iwouldrememberthatagoodskaternevertriestoskateintwodirectionsatonce.Thehabitofattentionbecomespartofourlife,ifwebeginearlyenough.假设我再回到童年，我会培养本人专心致志的习惯;一旦手头有事，决不让任何东西使我分心。我会谨记：一位优秀的溜冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。假如及早养成专心致志的习惯，它就会成为我们生命的一个部分。Ioftenheargrown-uppeoplesay,Icouldnotfixmyatte
14、ntiononthelectureorbook,althoughIwishedtodoso,andthereasonis,thehabitwasnotformedinyouth.我经常听到成年认讲：尽管我希望集中注意力听讲课或读书，但往往做不到。其愿意就在于年轻时没有养成这种习惯。IfIweretolivemylifeoveragain,Iwouldpaymoreattentiontothecultivationofthememory.Iwouldstrengthenthatfacultybyeverypossiblemeans,and,oneverypossibleoccasion.Itta
15、kesalittlehardworkatfirsttorememberthingsaccurately;butmemorysoonhelpsitself,andgivesverylittletrouble.Itonlyneedsearlycultivationtobecomeapower.假设我能重新活过，我会愈加注意培养本人的记忆力。我要采取一切可能的办法，在一切可能的场合,加强记忆力。要准确地记住一切事物，起初确实要作出一番小小的努力;但用不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事。只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。IfIwereaboyagain,Iwouldcultiva

17、befeared.假设我又回到了童年，我就要培养勇气。世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅，也没有东西比懦怯更残酷无情。一位明智的作家曾讲过我们经常太多地自寻烦恼，杞人忧天。怕祸患比祸患本身更可怕,凡事都有危险，但镇静沉着往往能克制最严重的危险。对一切祸福做好准备，那么就没有什么灾难能够害怕的了。IfIwereaboyagain,Iwouldlookonthecheerfulside.Lifeisverymuchlikeamirror:ifyousmileuponit,itsmilesbackuponyou;butifyoufrownandlookdoubtfulonit,youwillgetasim
18、ilarlookinreturn.Innersunshinewarmsnotonlytheheartoftheowner,butofallthatcomeincontactwithit.假设我能再回到童年，我会凡事都看光明的一面。生活就像一面镜子：你朝它微笑，它也会朝你微笑：但假如你朝它皱眉头，它也会朝你皱眉头;内心的阳光不仅暖和了本人的心，同时也暖和了所有跟他接触的人的心。Whoshutsloveout,inturnshallbeshutfromlove.谁将爱拒之门外，谁就会被爱拒之门外。IfIwereaboyagain,IwouldschoolmyselftosayNooftener.I
19、mightwritepagesontheimportanceoflearningveryearlyinlifetogainthatpointwhereayoungboycanstanderect,anddeclinedoinganunworthyactbecauseitisunworthy.假设我再回到童年，我就要养成经常讲不的习惯。我能够写上好几页，谈谈早期培养这一点的重要性,一个少年要能挺得起腰杆,拒绝做不值得做得事就由于它不值得做。IfIwereaboyagain,Iwoulddemandofmyselfmorecourtesytowardsmycompanionsandfriends,

21、年，我会要求本人对待同伴和朋友更礼貌，而且对陌生人也同样如此。再坎坷得人生道路上，最细小的礼貌如同在漫长的冬季为我们唱歌的小鸟，使得冰天雪地的严冬变得较易忍耐。最后，假设我再回到童年，我不会竭力为本人谋幸福仿佛那是人生的唯一目的;与之相反，我会愈加努力让别人幸福。Cherisheverymoment珍惜每一刻Mybrother-in-lawopenedthebottomdrawerofmysistersbureauandliftedoutatissue-wrappedpackage.This,hesaid,isnotaslip(纸片).Thisislingerie(女士内衣).Hediscar

24、掉纸片，把它递给我。这是件精致的女士内衣，它是用手工缝制的丝制品，齐整的镶着蛛网似的花边。衣服上甚至还钉着数额惊人的价格标签。这是我和简第一次去纽约的时候买的，至少是八九年以前了，她从来没有穿过，她一直在等一个特殊的场合。我想，如今该是时候了。他从我手上拿过内衣，把它和其他一些衣服一起摆到床上，我们要把它们带到殡仪馆。他的手在那柔软的面料上摩擦了一会儿，然后砰的关上抽屉，转过来对我讲。千万别收藏什么东西去等一个适宜的时机，你活着的每一天都是一个时机。IrememberedthosewordsthroughthefuneralandthedaysthatfollowedwhenIhelpedhi

26、我的侄女处理这原因以外事故丧生后的葬礼和各种悲戚琐事。在我从妹妹寓居的这个中西部地区小镇飞往加利福尼亚的飞机上,，还在回想着这些话语。我想着那些她从来没有见过、听过、或者做过的事情，我想着那些她经理过却没有意识到其独特性的事情。Imstillthinkingabouthiswords,andtheyvechangedmylife.Imreadingmoreanddustingless.Imsittingonthedeckandadmiringtheviewwithoutfussingabouttheweedsinthegarden.Imspendingmoretimewithmyfamilya

33、.假如时间紧迫，而我还有一些事情没有做完，我会愤怒不已。我会为不得不把准备去拜访的朋友推延到某一天而恼火，为曾设想着总会有一天会写下来的词句，而没有写下来而生气，为没有尽可能多的告诉我的丈夫和女儿我是多么爱他们而懊悔和遗憾。Imtryingveryhardnottoputoff,holdback,orsaveanythingthatwouldaddlaughterandlustertoourlives.我尽最大的努力避免推延,延误,或保留那些能给我们的生活增添欢乐和色彩的东西。AndeverymorningwhenIopenmyeyes,Itellmyselfthatitisspecial.Everyday,everyminute,everybreathtrulyis.agiftfromGod.天天早上，我睁开眼睛，告诉本人这是特殊的一天。每一天，每一分钟，每一次呼吸.都是上帝对我们的恩赐。优秀的英语经典必读散文
