初中经典英文文章

语言的积累对于 学习英语 十分重要。而如何加强对语言的积累呢?指导学生摘抄是一种行之有效的好 方法 。下面是我整理的初中英语美文，欢迎阅读! 初中英语美文篇一 我们在旅途中 Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this monment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest, we are on a journey. Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. 不论你处在什么地方，也不论你是什么人，不管是在此时此刻，还是在我们生命中的任何一个瞬间，有一件事对你我来说是恰巧相同的，我们不是在休息，我们是在一次旅途中，我们的生活是一种运动，一种趋势，是向一个看不见的目标稳定而不停地进步。 We are gaining something, or losing something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mereadvance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man. 每一天，我们都会赢得某些东西，或者会失去某些东西。 甚至当我们的位置和我们的性格看起来跟以前完全相似时，它们事实上仍然在变化着。因为仅仅是时间的前进就是一种变化。对于一块荒地来说，在1月和7月是不同的，季节会制造差异。能力上的缺陷对于孩子来说是一种可爱的品质，但对于大人来说就是一种幼稚的表现。 Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed. it sets us forward or backward. the action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept--the other alternative. 我们做的每一件事都是朝着一个或另一个方向前进一步。 甚至 没有做任何事情 这件事本身也是一种行为，它让我们前进或后退，一根刺针阴极的作用和阳极的作用都是一样真实的，拒绝也是一种接受--这些都是二中择一的选择。 Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single monment, the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would, there can be no pause until you come into port. 你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了吗?是的--你必须接近某一个港口或者其他港口。自从你第一次被抛人生活之海，你的船连一分钟都没有静止过，海是如此之深，你也不可能找到一个抛锚的地方，于是你不可能停下来，知道你到达自己的港口。 初中英语美文篇二 London, the capital of British is a famous city with a long history and colorful cultures. There are some great wonders in London, such as Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Stonehenge, and so on. They are so wonderful and great. 伦敦是英国的首都，是一个具有悠久的历史和丰富多彩 文化 的著名的城市。伦敦有许多名胜古迹，如白金汉宫，大英博物馆，大本钟，伦敦桥，伦敦塔，巨石阵等等。他们是如此的奇妙和伟大。 Buckingham Palace is the place where the Queen lives in. There you can always see the guards. 白金汉宫是女王生活的地方。你总是可以看到警卫。 The British Museum is a museum with human history and culture. There is a great deal of objects from all over the world in it. 大英博物馆是一座 收藏 着人类历史和文化的博物馆。在里面有大量来自世界各地的物品。 Big Ben is one of the most famous clocks in the world. It's the symbol of London. It's 150 years old and it still works well. 大本钟是世界上最著名的钟。它是伦敦的象征。它已经150岁了，却仍然能正常工作。 Tower Bridge is a famous bridge over the River Thames in London. It's close to the tower of London. Every day thousands of people use it to cross the river. 塔桥是横跨伦敦泰晤士河的一座著名的桥。它靠近伦敦塔。每天有成千上万的人用它来过河。 The Tower of London was once a prison for kings, queens and some important people, many of whom were executed here. But now, it's just a historical site. Every day, many people come here and take pictures of it. 伦敦塔曾是国王，皇后，一些重要的人的监狱，他们中的很多人都是在这里处决。但是现在，它只是一个历史古迹。每天有很多人来这里拍照。 Stonehenge dates back to about five thousand years ago. The usage of it still remains a mystery. 巨石阵的历史可以追溯到大约五千年前。它的使用仍然是一个谜。 What interesting sites in London. If I have a chance to go abroad, I'll travel to that city. I am sure I will be joyous there. 在伦敦有什么名胜古迹。如果我有机会 出国 ，我会去那个城市。我相信在那里我会玩的很开心的。 初中英语美文篇三 Of Studies Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning, by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them bothers; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. 读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时;其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中;其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然纵观统筹、全局策划，则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。读书补天然之不足， 经验 又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接;而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书，无知者羡读书，唯明智之士用读书，然书并不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。 读书使人充实，讨论使人机智，笔记使人准确。因此不常作笔记者须记忆特强，不常讨论者须天生聪颖，不常读书者须欺世有术，始能无知而显有知。读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀，数学使人周密，科学使人深刻，伦理学使人庄重，逻辑修辞之学使人善辩.

经典美文不仅是文学史中最具文学鉴赏价值、最富文化精髓的艺术作品,同时还是我们借鉴并用以指导学生写作的不可多得的范本。我精心收集了初中英语美文，供大家欣赏学习!
