關(guān)于日常生活的小短文

“You are what you eat.” Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote

better eating habits.What we put in our mouths does become a part of us.But we can look at this statement another way.What we eat reflects who we are--as people and as a culture.Do you want to understand another culture? Then you ought to find out about its food.Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture.“你吃什么就成為什么樣子”營養(yǎng)專家經(jīng)常使用這句話來倡導(dǎo)更好的飲食習慣，入嘴的東西確實成為我們的一部分．但我們也可以從另一個角度來看這句話，我們所吃的反映出我們自己－－不論就人或文化而言．你想了解另一種文化嗎？那么你應(yīng)該去認識他們的食物．認識美國食物可以讓我們得知美國文化的精髓。

What is “American food”? At first you might think the answer is easy as pie.To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza.If you have a “sweet tooth,” you might even think of apple pie or

chocolate chip cookies.It's true that Americans do eat those things.But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America?

何謂「美式食物」？乍聽之下你可能認為答案容易得很。對許多人而言，美式食物就是漢堡、熱狗、炸雞和披薩。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能會想到蘋果派或巧克力片餅干。美國人確實吃這些東西，但這些就是你在美國唯一找得到的食物嗎？

Except for Thanksgiving turkey, it's hard to find a typically “American” food.The United States is a land of immigrants.So Americans eat food from many different countries.When people move to America, they bring their cooking styles with them.That's why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America.In some cases, Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites.Americans love Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls.But the American version doesn't taste quite like the original!

除了感恩節(jié)火雞以外，挺難找到典型的美國食物。美國是個移民之地，所以美國人吃的食物來自許多不同的國家，當人們移居美國，他們也將自己的烹調(diào)帶了進來。那也就是為什么在美國你幾乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情況中，美國人把外國的食物視為最愛。美國人喜愛意大利的披薩，墨西哥的玉米餅和中國的春卷，但是這些東西的美國版味道卻不很道地！

As with any large country, the U.S.A has several distinct regions.Each region boasts its own special style of food.Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking.Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine.Take a trip

to New England and sample savory seafood dishes.Travel through the Midwest, “the breadbasket of the nation,” for delicious baked goods.Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats.Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.和許多大國一樣，美國有數(shù)個截然不同的地區(qū)，每個地區(qū)都以自己特有的食物夸口。走訪美國南部享受鄉(xiāng)村式的烹調(diào)；到路易斯安納州品嘗辛辣的凱郡式料理；走一趟新英格蘭試嘗它美味的海鮮；再到中西部「美國的面包之鄉(xiāng)」品嘗可口的烘培食品；乘船游覽至西南部嘗試一些好吃的墨式德州小吃，最后到太平洋西北岸，啜飲美食家的咖啡，作為美食之旅的句點。

Americans living at a fast pace often just “grab a quick bite.” Fast food

restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice.Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap.Of course, one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich.If it can fit between two slices of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich out of it.Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.生活在快速步調(diào)之下的美國人通常只能「很快地吃幾口」?？觳偷晏峁┶s時間的人各種食物，從炸雞到炒飯，應(yīng)有盡有。微波爐晚餐和實時餐點使得在家燒飯省事又快速。當然，最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夾在兩片土司中間的東西，美國人就可以把它作成一份三明治，花生醬和果醬更是一直都深受美國人的喜愛。

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of “junk food.” Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats.Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks.But others opt for more healthy eating habits.Some even go “all natural.” They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.忙碌的美國人也趨向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的東西都頗受歡迎。許多人吃了太多這類不健康的零嘴，但是其它人則選擇較健康的飲食習慣，有些人甚至選擇「全天然」的食物，他們拒絕吃任何有化學(xué)制品或添加物的食物。

American culture is a good illustration of the saying “you are what you eat.” Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking.The variety of foods enjoyed in the U.S.reflects the diversity of personal tastes.The food may be international or regional.Sometimes it's fast, and sometimes it's not so fast.It might be junk food, or maybe it's natural food.In any case, the style is all-American.美國文化是「你吃什么就成為什么樣子」這句話的好寫照。美國人代表了范圍廣泛的背景和想法。在美國可享受到的各式食物正反映出個人品味的多樣化。這食物可能是國際性也可能是地區(qū)性的；有時是快餐，有時也不見得；它可能是垃圾食物，也可能是天然食品。然而無論如何，它們都是美式的。

第二篇：初一 英語短文 閱讀

初中英語短文閱讀

1.The best way to strengthen your resolve and increase your will power is to thouroughly read one difficult article a day.Difficult articles will increase your vocabulary, improve your reading comprehension and supply you with valuable sentence patterns and grammar to enhance your spoken English.This terrific habit will also give you a strong sense of achievement and encourage you to improve other areas of your life.Once you train yourself to make your difficult article a part of your daily routine, you will even grow to enjoy it.Reading difficult articles is just like vigorous exercise.At first it is extremely hard, you need to push yourself to finish.Eventually, just as your body grows used to the sweat and effort, your mind will also adjust and welcome the challenge.In fact, people who exercise regularly feel terrible when they don't have an opportunity to exercise!You can develop the same kind of relationship with difficult articles!You can use them to nourish your mind and your spirit until you reach the point where you feel lost without them.2.Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean o。f anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy.I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge.I have wished to understand the hearts of men.I have wished to know why the stars shine.And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux.A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens.But always pity brought me back to earth.Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart.Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life.I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

第五篇：簡單英語小短文

How a Colt Crossed the River One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river.The colt could not decide whether he could cross it.Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby.He asked, “Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?” The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree and stopped him.The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop!You’ll drown!One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mum.He told his mum his experience on the way.His mother said, “My child, don’t always listen to others.You’d better go and try yourself.Then you’ll know what to do.” Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again.“Little horse, it’s too dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt.Then he crossed the river carefully.You see, real knowledge comes from practice.中文翻譯：

小馬過河

一天，一匹小馬馱著麥子去磨坊。當它馱著口袋向前跑去時，突然發(fā)現(xiàn)一條小河擋住了去路。小馬為難了，這可怎么辦呢？它向四周望了望，看見一頭奶牛在河邊吃草。小馬問道：“牛阿姨，請您告訴我，這條河我能趟過去嗎？”奶?；卮鹫f：“水很淺，剛到膝蓋?！?/p>

小馬正準備過河，突然從樹上跳下一只松鼠，攔住它大叫道：“小馬，別過河！你會被淹死的。昨天，我的一個伙伴就在這條河里淹死啦！”小馬不知如何是好，于是決定回家問問媽媽。

小馬把路上的經(jīng)歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說：“孩子，光聽別人說是不行的，你自己親自去試一試，就知道答案了。”小馬回到河邊，剛要下水，松鼠又大叫起來：“小馬，你不要命啦？”小馬說：“讓我自己試試吧。”他一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了過去。

這下明白了吧，實踐才能出真知

The Fox and the Tiger(狐貍和老虎)An Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many of the wild animals.This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide.At last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own.While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs.The Tiger howled with pain.While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?

“Nay,” said the Tiger, “I misjudged my enemy.It was that unbeatable man over there!”

MORAL: Knowledge is power.中文翻譯：

狐貍和老虎

一個射手正在森林里打獵。他的箭法好極了，射死了許多野獸。這可大大地嚇壞了余下的動物，它們都跑到最茂盛的灌木叢中躲藏起來。最后，老虎站了起來，裝著非常勇敢的樣子叫其余的動物相信它的勇敢，不必再害怕。它將獨個兒向敵人進攻。它一邊說著，一邊甩動著它的尾巴，并用它的爪子刨著地上的泥土，想使別人更信任它。就在這時，一枝箭飛來，刺穿了他的肋骨，老虎頓時痛得吼叫起來。

正當它盡力用牙齒拔出身上的箭時，狐貍走上前來吃驚地問道：“誰能有這樣的力氣和膽量來傷害象老虎這樣勇敢而強有力的野獸呢？”

“不，”老虎說，“我錯誤地判斷了我的敵人，是那邊那個不可戰(zhàn)勝的人打敗了我。”
