1、 When you get to know people with different ethnic backgrounds, from different cities and countries, who live at various socioeconomic levels, you begin to realize that everyone basically wants the same things. They want validation, love, happiness, fulfillment and hopes for a better future. The way they pursue these desires is where things branch off, but the fundamentals are the same. You can relate to almost everyone everywhere if you look past the superficial facades that divide us.
结识来自不同种族背景、不同城市和国家，处于社会不同阶层的人后，你会了解到每个人都有同样的基本需求，那就是得到认可、获得爱情和幸福、得以自我实现和对美好明天的希冀。他们追逐梦想的途径各不相同，但本质上是一致的。透过看似不同的肤浅表象你可以理解世界上每一个人。
2、The more things you own, the more your things own you. Less truly gives you more freedom. Read "The Joy of Less".
你拥有的越多，受到的束缚就越大。“简单”真的能给你更多的自由。请读一下《The Joy of Less》这本书。
3、We did not change as we grew older, we just became more clearly ourselves.
长大的岁月里，我们从未变化，只是越来越清晰的成为自己。
4、People who are serious about the relation are moody as they have devoted a lot that makes them worry about gains and losses.
动了真感情的人都会喜怒无常，因付出太多，难免患得患失。
5、Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.
执子之手，与子偕老。
6、l wish l knew how to quit you.
我希望我知道如何能够戒掉你。
7、You can hurt with your words but sometimes you can hurt more with your silence.
生活中，你说的话可能会伤到别人，但有时候，你的沉默会让人伤得更深。
8、We met at the wrong time, but separated at the right time. The most urgent is to take the most beautiful scenery; the deepest wound was the most real emotions.
我们在错误的时间相遇，在正确的时间却又分开。走的最急的是最美的景色，伤的最深的是最真的感情。
如果觉得不错，就给个赞同吧O(∩_∩)O

今天下午，我写完作业后，闲着没事干.这时，妈妈说她要到楼上搞卫生.我一听，顿时心血来潮，想：何不帮妈妈干点活儿！
于是，我便对妈妈说：“妈妈，我也和您一起打扫好吗？”妈妈说：“也好，可以给你锻炼锻炼.我擦地面，你就擦电视机柜、写字台一类的吧！”
这时，我已经迫不及待了，忙对妈妈说：“妈妈，我们快上去吧！”于是，我便和妈妈来到了儿楼.我拿起抹布浸湿后，就干了起来.
我先来到客厅里，擦电视机柜马上面不满了灰尘，好象是敌军占领了一片土地.这时，我向它们发起了“进攻”，把那些“士兵”杀个片甲不留，夺回了“领地”.
接着，我又向茶几上的“敌军”进行“扫荡”.不一会儿，这些“敌军”就被我击溃了.
刚抹了一会儿，抹布就很脏了.我便来到水池边，把抹布洗净后，又继续干了起来.
大约过了半个钟头，我已经把窗户、台灯、写字台都擦遍了，这时，它们就像新的一般.手抹上去，一点灰尘也没有.
我迅速地往妈妈那里跑去，向妈妈汇报我的“战绩”.
今天，我总算为家里做了一件有意义的事，心里别提有多高兴了
总统先生，奥巴马夫人，女士们，先生们，朋友们：很高兴应奥巴马总统邀请，在一元复始的时节来到华盛顿，对美国进行国事访问。
此时此刻，我谨代表13亿中国人民，向美国人民致以诚挚的问候和良好的祝愿！PRESIDENT HU: (As translated.) Mr. President, Mrs. Obama, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it gives me great pleasure to come to Washington and pay a state visit to the United States at the beginning of the new year, at the invitation of President Obama. At this point in time, let me extend, on behalf of the 1.3 billion Chinese people, sincere greetings and best wishes to the people of the United States.我这次访问美国，是为增进互信、加强友谊、深化合作、推动21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系继续向前发展而来。I have come to the United States to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation, and push forward the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive China-U.S. relationship for the 21st century.中美建交32年来，两国关系已经成长为具有战略意义和全球影响的双边关系。

Since President Obama took office, with concerted efforts of the two sides, our cooperation in various fields has produced fruitful results and our relations have achieved new progress. This has brought real benefits to our two peoples, and contributed greatly to world peace and development.在21世纪第二个十年开始之际，中美两国人民都期待中美关系发展得更好，各国人民都期待世界发展得更好。
面对新形势新挑战，中美两国拥有广泛的共同利益，肩负着重要的共同责任。我们应该登高望远、求同存异，共同推动中美关系长期健康稳定发展。
我希望通过这次访问，推进积极合作全面的中美关系，开启两国伙伴合作新篇章。As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the people of both China and the United States want to see further progress in our relations and people around the globe want to see greater prosperity in the world. Under the new circumstances, and in the face of new challenges, China and the United States share broad common interests and important common responsibilities.We should adopt a long-term perspective, seek common ground while resolving differences, and work together to achieve sustained, sound, and steady development of our relations. I hope that through this visit, our two countries will advance the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship, and open a new chapter in our cooperation as partners.——中美伙伴合作应该基于相互尊重。
我们生活在一个越来越丰富多彩的世界之中。中美两国要尊重彼此对发展道路的选择，尊重对方核心利益，通过沟通加深了解，通过对话增进互信，通过交流扩大共识。
Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual respect. We live in an increasingly diverse and colorful world. China and the United States should respect each other's choice of development path and each other's core interests. We should deepen mutual understanding through communication, increase mutual trust through dialogue, and expand common ground through exchanges.——中美伙伴合作应该基于互利共赢。中国的前途命运日益紧密地同世界的前途命运联系在一起，中美交往更加紧密，交流互鉴应该成为我们的共同选择，合作共赢应该成为我们的相处之道。
Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual benefit. China's future and destiny are increasingly tied to those of the world and China-U.S. relations have become closer. Our two countries should seek to learn from each other through exchanges and achieve win-win progress through cooperation. This is the right approach for us to develop our relations.——中美伙伴合作应该基于共迎挑战。中美两国应该就国际事务加强沟通和协调，合作应对各种全球性挑战，为世界和平与发展作出更大贡献。
Our cooperation as partners should be based on joint efforts to meet challenges. China and the United States should step up communication and coordination in international affairs, work together to counter the global challenges, and make a greater contribution to world peace and development.——中美伙伴合作应该基于人民广泛参与。中美两国人民相互怀有深厚的友好感情，曾经在决定人类前途命运的重大历史关头并肩战斗。
两国人民应该扩大交往、加强友谊，为中美关系发展提供不竭动力。Our cooperation as partners should be based on the extensive involvement of the 。

经典英语美文摘抄篇一
什么东西比金钱更重要
It is physically impossible for a well-educated intellectual, or brave man to make money the chief object① of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them.
一个受过良好 教育 、有头脑的、有胆识的人完全不可能将金钱当作他考虑的主要对象，正如他完全不可能将美餐当做他主要考虑对象一样。
All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the mainobject of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money--ought to like it and to enjoy the sensation② of winning; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.
所有健康的人都喜欢享用美餐，但美餐并不是他们生活的主要目标。同样道理，所有思想健全的人都喜欢挣钱--喜欢并体验挣到钞票的兴奋感是正当的;然而，他们生活的主要目标并不是金钱，而是比金钱更珍贵的东西。
A good soldier, for instance③, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--very properly so --and justly grumbles④ when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main notion⑤ of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.
例如，一位优秀的士兵主要想打好仗。他为自己的薪饷感到高兴--完全合乎情理;假如，你扣发他十个月军饷，他发牢骚理所应当。不过，他的人生主要目标仍然是打胜仗，并非为了薪饷而打胜仗。
So too of doctors. They like fees no doubt--ought to like them; yet the entire object of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole desire to cure the sick, would rather cure their patients and lose their fee than kill them and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men: their work is first, their fee is second, very important always, but still second.
医生也是如此。毫无疑问，他们都喜欢收诊费--本应如此;然而他们人生的全部目标并不是诊费。总的说来，他们都想把病人治好，而且宁愿把病人治好而得不到诊金，也不愿为了诊金而把病人治死。所有其他有胆识的、受过正当培训的人也是如此：他们总是工作第一、报酬第二。报酬尽管总是非常重要，但还是第二。
But in every nation, there is a vast class of people who are cowardly⑥, and more or less stupid. And with these people, just as certainly the fee is first and the work second, as with brave people the work is first and the fee second.
可是，在每个国家，都有一大批怯懦的、多少有点愚蠢的人。对于这些人而言，无疑是报酬第一、工作第二，正如有胆识的人工作第一、报酬第二一样。
And this is no small distinction⑦. It is the whole distinction in a man. You cannot serve two masters; you must serve one or the other. If your work is first with you, and your fee is second, work is your master.
这决非细微差异，这是根本性差异，区分一个人的根本性差异。你不能侍奉两个主人，你必须侍奉其中一个，非此即彼。假如就你而言是工作第一、报酬第二，那么工作就是你的主人。
Observe, then, all wise work is mainly threefold⑧ in character. It is honest, useful, and cheerful. I hardly know anything more strange than that you recognize honesty in play, and do not in work.
请注意，一切明确的工作本质上都具有三重性：诚实、有用和愉悦。人们在娱乐中讲究诚实而在工作中却不讲诚实--据我所知，没有比这更奇怪的事情了。
In your lightest games you have always someone to see what you call "fair play". In boxing you must hit fair; in racing, start fair. Your watchword is fair play; your hatred, foul play. Did it ever strike you that you wanted another watchword⑨ also, fair work, and another hatred also, foul⑩ work?
在最不重要的比赛中，你总是请人做裁判，确保人们常说的公平竞赛。 拳击 中，你出拳必须公正;赛跑时，你起跑必须公正。你的 口号 就是公正比赛，你所深恶痛绝的就是违反规则。那么，你可曾想过，你还需要另一个口号，那就是老老实实地工作;你深恶痛绝的应是投机取巧。
经典英语美文摘抄篇二
Mother & Child 妈妈与孩子
It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gifts giving.
那是1961年的 圣诞节 。我在俄亥俄州的一个小镇上教小学三年级。班上27个孩子都在积极参加"礼物赠送日"的活动。
A tree covered with tinsel and gaudy paper chains graced one corner. In another rested a manger scene produced from cardboard and poster paints by chubby, and sometimes grubby, hands. Someone had brought a doll and placed it on the straw in the cardboard box that served as the manger. It didn't matter that you could pull a string and hear the blue-eyed, golden-haired dolly say, "My name is Susie." "But Jesus was a boy baby!" one of the boys proclaimed. Nonetheless, Susie stayed.
教室的一角被一棵树装点得熠熠生辉，树上缀满了金银丝帛和华丽的彩纸。教室的另一角是一个涂着海报油彩由纸板制成的马槽，这出自孩子们那胖乎乎、脏兮兮的小手。有人带来了一个娃娃，把它放在纸板槽里的稻草上(假装小耶稣)。只要拉拉它身上的一条细绳，这个蓝眼睛、金发的娃娃就会说道，"我叫苏西"，不过这都没有关系。一个男孩提出："耶稣可是个小男孩呀!"不过苏西还是留了下来。
Each day the children produced some new wonder -- strings of popcorn, hand-made trinkets, and German bells made from wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling. Through it all she remained aloof, watching from afar, seemingly miles away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would appeal to her. But nothing did. We made cards and gifts for mothers and dads, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. At home the students made the popular fried marbles and vied with one another to bring in the prettiest ones. " You put them in a hot frying pan, Teacher. And you let them get real hot, and then you watch what happens inside. But you don't fry them too long or they break."So, as my gift to them, I made each of my students a little pouch for carrying their fried marbles. And I knew they had each made something for me: bookmarks carefully cut, colored, and sometimes pasted together; cards and special drawings; liquid embroidery doilies, hand-fringed, of course.
每天孩子们都会做点儿新玩意--爆米花串成的细链子、手工做的小装饰品和墙纸样做的德国式风铃，我们把这些风铃挂在了天花板上。但自始至终，她都是孤零零地远远观望，仿佛是隔了一道几里长的障碍。我猜想着这个沉默的孩子发生了什么事，原来那个快乐的孩子怎么突然变得沉默寡言起来。我希望节日的活动能吸引她，可还是无济于事。我们制作了许多卡片和礼物，准备把它们送给爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹、祖父母和身边的同学。学生们在家里做了当时很流行“油炸"玻璃弹子，并且相互比着，要把最好看的拿来。"老师，把玻璃弹子放在热油锅里，让它们烧热，然后看看里面的变化。但不要炸得时间过长否则会破裂。"所以，我给每个学生做了一个装"油炸弹子"的小袋作为礼物送给他们。我知道他们每个人也都为我做了礼物：仔细剪裁、着色，或已粘集成串的书签; 贺卡 和特别绘制的图片;透明的镶边碗碟垫布，当然是手工编制的流苏。
The day of gift-giving finally came. We oohed and aahed over our handiwork as the presents were exchanged. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special pouch for her, red and green with white lace. I wanted very much to see her smile. She opened the package so slowly and carefully. I waited but she turned away. I had not penetrated the wall of isolation she had built around herself.
赠送礼物的那天终于到了。在交换礼物时我们为对方亲手做的小礼品不停地欢呼叫好。而整个过程，她只是安静地坐在那儿看着。我为她做的小袋很特别，红绿相间还镶着白边。我非常想看到她笑一笑。她打开包装，动作又慢又小心。我等待着，但是她却转过了身。我还是没能穿过她在自己周围树起的高墙，这堵墙将她与大家隔离了开来。
After school the children left in little groups, chattering about the great day yet to come when long-hoped-for two-wheelers and bright sleds would appear beside their trees at home. She lingered, watching them bundle up and go out the door. I sat down in a child-sized chair to catch my breath, hardly aware of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, unwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by unwashed, childish hands. She said nothing. "For me?" I asked with a weak smile. She said not a word, but nodded her head. I took the box and gingerly opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. Then I looked into that elderly eight-year-old face and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knew -- she had made it for her mother, a mother she would never see again, a mother who would never hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story, a mother who would never again hear her childish joys or sorrows. A mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before.
放学后，学生们三三俩俩地离开了，边走边说着即将到来的圣诞节：家中的圣诞树旁将发现自己心系已久的自行车和崭新发亮的雪橇。她慢慢地走在后面，看着大家拥挤着走出门外。我坐在孩子们的小椅子上稍稍松了口气，对要发生的事没有一点准备。这时她向我走来，双手拿着一个白色的盒子向我伸过来。盒子没有打包装，稍有些脏。好像是被孩子未洗过的小手摸过了好多遍。她没有说话。"给我的吗?"我微微一笑。她没出声，只是点点头。我接过盒子，非常小心地打开它。盒子里面有一条金色的链子，上面坠着一块闪闪发光的“油炸"玻璃弹子。然后我看着她的脸，虽只有8岁，可却是成人的表情。在她深棕色的眼睛里我找到了问题的答案。我在一瞬间明白过来--这是她为妈妈做的项链，她再也见不到的妈妈，再也不能抱她、给她梳头或一起讲 故事 的妈妈。她的妈妈已再也不能分享她充满童稚的快乐，分担她孩子气的忧伤。就在3个星期前她的妈妈离开了人世。
I held out the chain. She took it in both her hands, reached forward, and secured the simple clasp at the back of my neck. She stepped back then as if to see that all was well. I looked down at the shiny piece of glass and the tarnished golden chain, then back at the giver. I meant it when I whispered," Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it."Neither of us could stop the tears. She stumbled into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself.
我拿起那条链子。她用双手接过它，向前探了探身，在我的脖子后把简易的项链钩系好。然后她向后退了几步，好像在看看是否合适。我低下头看着闪闪发亮的玻璃珠和已失去光泽的金色链子，然后抬起头望着她。我很认真地轻声说道：“哦，玛丽亚，这链子真漂亮。你妈妈一定会喜欢的。"我们已无法抑制住泪水。她踉踉跄跄地扑进我的怀里，我们都哭了。在那短暂的一刻我成了她的妈妈，而她送给了我一份最珍贵的礼物：她的信任和爱。By Patricia A. Habada
经典英语美文摘抄篇三
FAMILY
FAMILY= (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
Daddy, may I ask you a question?
Yeah sure, what is it? replied the man.
Daddy, how much do you make an hour?
That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing? the man said angrily. I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?
pleaded the little boy.
If you must know, I make $20 an hour.
Oh, the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, Daddy, may I please borrow $10?
The father was furious, If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior.
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
Are you asleep, son? He asked.
No daddy, I'm awake, replied the boy.
I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier, said the man, It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10you asked for.
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. Oh, thank you daddy! He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
Why do you want more money if you already have some? the father grumbled.
Because I didn't have enough, but now I do, the little boy replied. Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.
Man's youth is a wonderful thing： it is so full of anguish and of magic and he never comes to know it as it is， until it has gone from him forever.It is the thing he cannot bear to lose， it is the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret， it is the thing whose loss with a sad and secret joy,the thing he would never willingly relive again， could it be restored to him by any magic.
青春奇妙无穷，充满魅力，充满痛楚。青春年少的时候根本不知青春为何物，直到青春一去不复返了才对青春有了真正的认识。谁都想让青春永驻，不忍青春离去； 眼睁睁地看着青春流逝，心中会涌起无穷的忧伤和惋惜；青春的失去是人们永远感到悲哀的事；青春的失去是人们真正觉得悲喜交集的事；即便奇迹出现青春复苏， 谁都不会心甘情愿重度青春的岁月。
It was a beautiful letter， but there was no way， except for the name Michael， to identify the owner.Maybe if I called information， the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope.The operator suggested I speak with her supervisor， who hesitated for a moment， then said， "Well， there is a phone listing at that address， but I can't give you the number." She said as a courtesy， she would call that number， explain my story and ask whoever answered if the person wanted her to connect me.
这是一封精美的信，但是除了迈克尔的.名字以外，没有其他办法确定皮夹的主人。或许询问信息台，话务员可以通过信封上的住址查到电话。话务员建议我和她的负责人说，那位负责人犹豫了一会儿，然后说：嗯，“有那个住址的电话号码，但我不能给你。”她说出于礼貌，她可以打那个电话，说明我的情况后，看接电话的人是否愿意让她再与我联系。
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.
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”.
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.
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 simply 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.
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?
仔细看看自己的生活吧。如果把幻想和嫉妒扫出脑海，你清楚地看到生活的恩赐了吗?你明白你眼前的一切是多么珍贵、多么值得你花时间品味了吗?
I was for all intensive purposes addicted to the game I was playing.This addiction nearly ruined me mood wise,I was miserable to be around when I was even able to force myself to go to class or go out and socialize.
我完全沉溺在所玩的游戏之中，中毒很深，这甚至完全左右着我的情绪。当我强迫自己去上课或者社交的时候，我会把事情搞砸。

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.
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.

In fact,it is a delicious candy,the fragrance taste our inexhaustible aftertaste reverie.But if we don't control it,we can't taste the first sweet,and the substitute must be a lot of pain.So I grow up to learn to troubleshoot and protect our "teeth".Only in this way will we taste more sweet and happy!
God puts dreams in our hearts.So,we must dream.We lose our sorrows and heartaches in dreams.And we live our fantasies in dreams.Some dreams are aborted while some come true.

Remember you said：
If only at the beginning of the life such as see， what things autumn wind sad painting fan。 So it has become such as idle hearts and minds， but the heart way so it is easy to change。
清江水，月悠悠，荡一叶轻舟，流年依旧。
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've been as active as I can,landing a job that promotes activity,hiking whenever possible,and going on runs around parks.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'm hoping that this post will convince someone who is in the same boat that I was in that moving out of unhealthy habits is easier than you think.The body and mind is extremely resilient and wants to be active,so get out there and live life!
Gratitude grounds plentitude in the now.When you honor who you are,what you do,and what you have,your energy will change.You will start to glow.People will be drawn to you because that gratitude glow is rare in our current culture.I'm hoping to bring it back.
Death.old age.are words without a meaning.that pass by us like the idea air which we regard not.Others may have undergone,or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“,which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies.As in setting out on delightful journey,we strain our eager gaze forward-
