第一篇：A Grain of Sand
一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉.布萊克
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild fllower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
從一粒沙子看到一個世界，
從一朵野花看到一個天堂，
把握在你手心里的就是無限，
永恒也就消融于一個時辰。
第二篇：Love Your Life
熱愛生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard
* is not so bad as you
* looks poorest when you are * fault-finder will find faults in
* your life,poor as
it * may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a p
* setting sun is
reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man'
s abode;the snow melts
before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live
as contentedly there,and have
as cheering thoughts,as in a * town's poor seem to me often to live t
he most independent lives
of * be they are simply great enough to receive without * t
hink that they are above
being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above suppo
rting themselves by
dishonest * should be more *ate poverty like a gar
den herb,like * not
trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the ol
d,return to * do
not change;we * your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。
它不像你那
樣壞。
你最富有
的時候，倒是看似最窮。
愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。
你要愛你的生活，盡
管它貧窮。
甚至
在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、的高興、的光榮的時候。
夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像
身在富戶人家窗上一
樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。
我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪里也像在皇宮中
一樣，生活得心
滿意足而富有愉快的思想。
城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。
也許
因為他們很偉大，
所以受之無愧。
大多數人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往
往利用了不正當
的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。
視貧窮如園中之花而像圣人一
樣耕植它吧！不
要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。
找舊的，回到那里去。
萬物
不變，是我們在
變。
你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。

第五篇：
The life I desired
我所追求的生活威廉.薩姆塞特.毛姆/William Somerset Maugham
That must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life i
t offers has a homely *
reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtly through green pastures and
shaded by pleasant
trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silen
t,so infifferent,that you are troubled
suddently by a vague *s it is only by a kink in my nature,stro
ng in me even in those
days,that i felt in such an existence,the share of the great majority,somethin
g amiss.I recognized its social
value.I saw its ordered happiness,but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder c
* seemed to me
something alarming in such easy * my heart was desire to live more d
angerously.I was not
unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous,shoals it I could only have change
-change and the
exicitement of unforeseen.
這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。
它使人想起一條
平靜的溪流，蜿
蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太
過沉默，太過不
動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。
也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，
這想法對我影響
很深：我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什么。
我承認這種生活有社會
價值，我也看到
了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中
好像有一種叫我
驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。
只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不
可知的刺激，我
愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘。
第六篇:
Virtue 美德
*t/赫伯特
Sweet day,so cool,so calm,so bright! 甜美的白晝，如此涼爽、的安寧、的明媚！
The bridal of the earth and sky- 天地間完美的匹配-----
The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; 今宵的露珠兒將為你的消逝而落淚；
For thou must die. 因為你必須離去。
Sweet rose,whose hue angry and brave, 美麗的玫瑰，色澤紅潤艷麗，
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, 令匆匆而過的人拭目而視，
Thy root is ever in its grave, 你的根永遠扎在墳墓里，
And thou must die. 而你必須消逝。

玫瑰，
A box where sweets compacted lie, 如一支芬芳滿溢的盒子，

And all must die, 萬物都得消逝。
Only a sweet and virtuous soul, 唯有美好而正直的心靈，
Like season'd timber,never gives; 猶如干燥備用的木料，永不走樣；
But though the whole world turn to coal, 縱然整個世界變為灰燼，
Then chiefly lives. 它依然流光溢彩。
第七篇:
The country Maid and Her Milk Can
村姑和牛奶罐
A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fel
l into the following train
of reflections."The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to i
ncrease my stock of eggs to
three hundred,These eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be des
troyed by vermin,will
produce at least two hundred and fifty * chickens will be fit to ca
rry to market just at the time
when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year I cannot fail of having mo
ney enough to purchase a
new *-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best .and green
it shall be, In this
dress I will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for
a parter;but no-I shall refuse
every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them."
Transported with this idea,she could not forbear acting with her head the thou
ght that passed in her
mind,when down came the can of milk!And all her imaginary happiness vanished i
n a moment.
一個村姑頭上頂著一罐牛奶在路上行走。
走著走著，她的腦子里浮現出一連串的幻想：“
我賣了這罐牛奶后，
用這筆錢買雞蛋，這樣我有的雞蛋可以增加到300 個。
用這300 個雞蛋孵小雞，這就算有
壞的、的生蟲的，
至少也能孵出250 只小雞。
等小雞長大后，正好能趕上賣個好市價；那么到了新年，我就
能有錢買一件新
晚裝。
買一件綠色的——讓我好好想想——對，綠色與我的膚色最相襯。
我穿上這件衣服
去趕集，所有的年
輕小伙子都會搶著邀請我做舞伴；但是不行——我要輕蔑地把頭一揚，轉身過去不理他們
，讓他們人人都
碰個釘子。
她想得得意忘形，情不自禁地把頭一揚，剎那間，牛奶罐跌了下來！她幻想的一切幸福間
破滅了。
第八篇:The Rainy Day
雨天Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 亨利.沃茲渥斯.朗費羅
The day is cold,and dark,and dreary;
It rains,and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My though still cling to the moldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still,sad heart!And cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
天冷、的陰暗、的沉悶；
下著雨，風也刮個不停；
藤還攀附著頹垣殘壁，
每來一陣狂風，枯葉附落紛紛，
天真是陰暗而沉悶。
我的生活寒冷、的陰郁、的沉悶；
下著雨，風也刮個不停；
我的思想還糾纏著消逝的往事，
大風里，我的青春希望相繼熄滅，
天真是陰暗而沉悶。
安靜吧，憂傷的心！別再悔恨；
烏云后面太陽依然輝煌燦爛；
你命運和大家的一樣，
每個人一生都得逢上陰雨，
有些日子必然陰暗而沉悶。
第九篇：
Love 愛情
I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with y
ou.
我愛你，不是因為你是一個怎樣的人，而是因為我喜歡與你在一起時的感覺。
No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won't make you cry.
沒有人值得你流淚，值得讓你這么做的人不會讓你哭泣。
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you c
an't have them.
失去某人，最糟糕的莫過于，他近在身旁，卻猶如遠在天邊。
Never frown,even when you are sad,because you never know who is falling in lov
e with your smile.
縱然傷心，也不要悉眉不展，因為你不知是誰會愛上你的笑容。
To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.
對于世界而言，你是一個人；但是對于某人，你是他的整個世界。
Don't waste your time on a man/woman,who isn't willing to waste their time on
you.
不要為那些不愿在你身上花費時間的人而浪費你的時間。
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean th
ey don't love you with
all they have.
愛你的人如果沒有按你所希望的方式愛你，那并不代表他們沒有全心全意地愛你。
Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to.
不要著急，最好的總會在最不經意的時候出現。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so
that when we finally
meet the person,we will know how to be grateful.
在遇到夢中人之前，上天也許會安排我們先遇到別人；在我們終于遇見心儀的人時，便應
當心存感激。
Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.
不要因為結束而哭泣，微笑吧，為你的曾經擁有。
Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.
-------Sir Thomas Browne
“生命是束純凈的火焰，我們依靠自己內心看不見的太陽而存在。
”
--------托馬斯。

第十篇：
On the Feeling of Immortality in youth
有感于青春常在
William Hazlitt/威廉.赫茲里特
No young man believes he shall ever * was a saying of my brother's,and a
fine one.
There is a feeling of Eternity in youth,which makes us amend for *
be young is to be as one of the Immortal * half of time indeed is flow
n-the other half remains in
store for us with all its countless treasures;for there is no line drawn,and w
e see no limit
to our hopes and * make the coming age our own-
年輕人不相信自已會死。
這是我哥哥的話，可算得一句妙語。
青春有一種永生之感——它
能彌補一切。
人在青年時代好像一尊永生的神明。
誠然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蘊藏著不盡財富的另
一半還有所保留，
我們對它也抱著無窮的希望和幻想。
未來的時代完全屬于我們——
The vast,the unbounded prospect lies before us.
無限遼闊的遠景在我們面前展現
* * words without a * pass by us like the idea air wh
ich we regard
* may have undergone,or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charme
d life",which
laughs to scorn all such sickly * in setting out on delightful journe
y,we strain our eager gaze forward-
死亡，老年，不過是空話，毫無意義；我們聽了，只耳邊風，全不放在心上。
這些事，別
人也許經歷過，
或者可能要承受，但是我們自己，“在靈符護佑下度日”，對于諸如此類脆弱的念頭，統
統付之輕蔑的一
笑。
像是剛剛走上愉快的旅程，極目遠眺——
Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
向遠方的美景歡呼！
-and see no end to the landscape,new objects presenting themselves as we advan
ce;so,in the
commencement of life,we set no bounds to our * to the unrestric
ted opportunities of
grastifying * have as yet found no obstacle,no disposition to flag;and i
t seems that we can go on
so * look round in a new world,full of life,and motion,and ceaseless
progress;and feel in
ourselves all the vigour and spirit to keep pace with it,and do not foresee fr
om any present symptoms how
we shall be left behind in the natural course of things,decline into old age,a
nd drop into the * is the
simplicity,and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth,that(so to s
peak)identifies us with
nature ,and(our experience being slight and our passions strong)deludes us int
o a belief of being immortal
like * short-lives connexion with existence we fondly flatter ourselves,i
s an indissoluble and lasting
union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness,jar,nor * infants sm
ile and sleep,we are
rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies,and lulled into security by the ro
ar of the universe around
us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it,instead of wh
ich it only overflows the
more-objects press around us,filling the mind with their magnitude and with th
e strong of desires that
wait upon them,so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
此時，但覺好風光應接不暇，而且，前程更有美不勝收的新鮮景致。
在這生活的開端，我
們聽任自己的志
趣馳騁，放手給它們一切滿足的機會。
到此為止，我們還沒有碰上過什么障礙，也沒有感
覺到什么疲憊，
因此覺得還可以一直這樣向前走去，直到永遠。
我們看到四周一派新天地——生機盎然，
變動不居，日新
月異；我們覺得自己活力充盈，精神飽滿，可與宇宙并駕齊驅。
而且，眼前也無任何跡象
可以證明，在大
自然的發展過程中，我們自己也會落伍，衰老，進入墳墓。
由于年輕人天真單純，可以說
是茫然無知，因
而將自己跟大自然劃上等號；并且，由于經驗少而感情盛，誤以為自己也能和大自然一樣
永世長存。
我們
一廂情愿，癡心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暫時棲身，當作千古不變、的萬事長存的結合，
好像沒有冷淡、的爭
執、的離別的密月。
像嬰兒帶著微笑入睡，我們躺在用自己編織成的搖籃里，讓大千世界
的萬籟之聲催哄我
們安然入夢；我們急切切，興沖沖地暢飲生命之杯，怎么也不會飲干，反而好像永遠是滿
滿欲溢；森羅萬象紛至沓來，各種欲望隨之而生，使我們騰不出工夫想死亡。
