美麗的微笑與愛心

The poor are very wonderful people.One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street.And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three.I take care of this one who looked worse.So I did for her all that my love can do.I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face.She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “thank you” and she died.I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place.And my answer was very simple.I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself.I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love.And she died with a smile on her face.As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[陰溝、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home.“I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything.Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people.And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.窮人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我們外出，從街上帶回了四個(gè)人，其中一個(gè)生命岌岌可危。于是我告訴修女們說：“你們照料其他三個(gè)，這個(gè)瀕危的人就由我來照顧了?！本瓦@樣，我為她做了我的愛所能做的一切。我將她放在床上，看到她的臉上綻露出如此美麗的微笑。她握著我的手，只說了句“謝謝您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前審視起自己的良知來。我問自己，如果我是她的話，會(huì)說些什么呢？答案很簡單，我會(huì)盡量引起旁人對我的關(guān)注，我會(huì)說我饑餓難忍，冷得發(fā)抖，奄奄一息，痛苦不堪，諸如此類的話。但是她給我的卻更多更多――她給了我她的感激之情。她死時(shí)臉上卻帶著微笑。我們從排水道帶回的那個(gè)男子也是如此。當(dāng)時(shí)，他幾乎全身都快被蟲子吃掉了，我們把他帶回了家?！霸诮稚?，我一直像個(gè)動(dòng)物一樣地活著，但我將像個(gè)天使一樣地死去，有人愛，有人關(guān)心?！闭媸翘昧?，我看到了他的偉大之處，他竟能說出那樣的話。他那樣地死去，不責(zé)怪任何人，不詛咒任何人，無欲無求。像天使一樣――這便是我們的人民的偉大之所在。因此我們相信耶穌所說的話――我饑腸轆轆――我衣不蔽體――我無家可歸――我不為人所要，不為人所愛，也不為人所關(guān)心――然而，你卻為我做了這一切。

I believe that we are not real social workers.We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives[修行者、沉思冥想的人] in the heart of the world.For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours...And I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home.And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.我想，我們算不上真正的社會(huì)工作者。在人們的眼中，或許我們是在做社會(huì)工作，但實(shí)際上，我們真的只是世界中心的修行者。因?yàn)?，一?4小時(shí)，我們都在觸摸基督的圣體。我想，在我們的大家庭時(shí)，我們不需要槍*和炮彈來破壞和平，或帶來和平――我們只需要團(tuán)結(jié)起來，彼此相愛，將和平、歡樂以及每一個(gè)家庭成員靈魂的活力都帶回世界。這樣，我們就能戰(zhàn)勝世界上現(xiàn)存的一切邪惡。

And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home.Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread.And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor.The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world.To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer.They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share.Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share.Because today there is so much suffering...When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied.I have removed that hunger.But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable…And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.我準(zhǔn)備以我所獲得的諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)獎(jiǎng)金為那些無家可歸的人們建立自己的家園。因?yàn)槲蚁嘈?，愛源自家庭，如果我們能為窮人建立家園，我想愛便會(huì)傳播得更廣。而且，我們將通過這種寬容博大的愛而帶來和平，成為窮人的福音。首先為我們自己家里的窮人，其次為我們國家，為全世界的窮人。為了做到這一點(diǎn)，姐妹們，我們的生活就必須與禱告緊緊相連，必須同基督結(jié)結(jié)一體才能互相體諒，共同分享，因?yàn)橥浇Y(jié)合一體就意味著互相體諒，共同分享。因?yàn)?，今天的世界上仍有如此多的苦難存在……當(dāng)我從街上帶回一個(gè)饑腸轆轆的人時(shí)，給他一盤飯，一片面包，我就能使他心滿意足了，我就能軀除他的饑餓。但是，如果一個(gè)人露宿街頭，感到不為人所要，不為人所愛，惶恐不安，被社會(huì)拋棄――這樣的貧困讓人心痛，如此令人無法忍受。因此，讓我們總是微笑想見，因?yàn)槲⑿褪菒鄣拈_端，一旦我們開始彼此自然地相愛，我們就會(huì)想著為對方做點(diǎn)什么了。

超越卓越的你

Consider...YOU.In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you.You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe.Wow!Stop and think about that.You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion...You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!

You're amazing!You're awesome!And by the way, TAG, you're it.As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so.Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art.But you don't become “beautiful” just by virtue of the aging process.Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.That is the Art of Life.You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you.Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.Paint a Masterpiece.God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest.Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.試想一下……你！一個(gè)空前絕后的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會(huì)有一個(gè)跟你一模一樣的人。你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨(dú)一無二的。哇！想想吧，你是萬里挑

一、億里挑

一、兆里挑一的。

在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的?。?/p>

你是了不起的！你是卓越的！沒錯(cuò)，就是你。你已經(jīng)是了不起的，是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術(shù)的杰作。但你不會(huì)因?yàn)槟挲g的漸長就自然而然地變得“美麗”。

真正的美麗源于生命里的學(xué)習(xí)、成長和熱愛。這就是生命的藝術(shù)。你可以只聽天由命, 慢慢地學(xué)，有時(shí)候或許會(huì)很痛苦。又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長，故意地?fù)]霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術(shù)家。畫出一幅杰作吧！

上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做決定的還是你自己。

我們這個(gè)時(shí)代的尷尬

Paradox of Our Times

[1]We have bigger houses and smaller families;more conveniences, but less time;we have more degrees, but less common sense;more knowledge, but less judgement;more experts, but more problems;more medicine, but less wellness.[2] We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.[3] We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.We talk too much, love too little and lie too often.We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;we've added years to life, not life to years.[4] We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.We spend more, but have less;we buy more, but enjoy it less.[5] We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.We've split the atom, but not our prejudice;we write more, but learn less;plan more, but accomplish less.[6] We've learned to rush, but not to wait;we have higher incomes, but lower morals.We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication.We are long on quantity, but short on quality.[7] These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;tall men and short character;steep profits and shallow relationships.More leisure and less fun;more kinds of food, but less nutrition;two incomes, but more divorce;fancier houses, but broken homes.[1]我們居住的房屋越來越寬敞，家庭卻越來越小型化；可以享受的生活便利日益增多，屬于自己的時(shí)間卻日趨減少；我們獲得了一張又一張學(xué)位證書，卻愈加頻繁確把握和判斷；專家越來越多，問題卻也日漸增加；藥物越吃越多，健康卻每況愈地陷入對常識(shí)的茫然中；我們廣泛地涉獵各類知識(shí)，卻越來越缺乏對于外界事物的準(zhǔn)下。

[2]我們花錢太瘋，笑容太少，開車太快，發(fā)怒太急，熬夜太晚，起身太累，文章讀得太少，電視看得太勤，禱告做得太少。

[3]我們不斷聚斂物質(zhì)財(cái)富，卻逐漸丟失了自我價(jià)值。我們的話語太多，真愛太少，謊言泛濫。我們掌握了謀生手段，卻不懂得生活真諦；我們讓年華付諸流水，卻不曾將生命傾注其中。

[4]我們的住房越來越好，脾氣卻越來越糟；我們行駛的道路越來越寬闊，眼光卻越來越狹隘。我們付出很多，可獲得的很少；我們購買了很多，可從中得到的樂趣卻很少。

[5]我們能夠往返于地球與月球之間，卻不樂于穿過馬路向新鄰居問好。我們可以征服外部空間，卻懾于走進(jìn)內(nèi)心世界。我們可以擊碎原子，卻不能突破思想偏見；我們寫得很多，可學(xué)到的很少；計(jì)劃很多，可完成的很少。

[6]我們學(xué)會(huì)了追趕時(shí)間，卻沒學(xué)會(huì)耐心等待；我們擁有的財(cái)富越來越多，道德品質(zhì)卻日益淪喪。我們生產(chǎn)更多的電腦用于存儲(chǔ)更多的信息和制造更多的拷貝，而相互間的交流與溝通卻越來越少。我們擁有的是數(shù)量，缺乏的是質(zhì)量。

[7]這是一個(gè)快餐食品和消化遲緩相伴的時(shí)代；一個(gè)體格高大和性格病態(tài)并存的時(shí)代；一個(gè)追名逐利和人情冷漠相生的時(shí)代。我們的休閑多了，樂趣卻少了；食品種類多了，營養(yǎng)卻少了；雙薪家庭增加了，離婚率也激升了；居室的裝修華麗了，家庭卻殘缺破碎了。

篇四：高中生英語美文摘抄

說出心里話

Words from the Heart

Most people need to hear those “three little words” I love you.Once in a while, they hear them just in time.I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice1 ward, where I worked as a volunteer.Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney2 to the hospital bed.Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was alert and cheerful.We got her settled in.I finished marking her name on all the hospital supplies she would be using, then asked if she needed anything.“Oh, yes,” she said, “would you please show me how to use the TV? I enjoy the soaps so much and I don't want to get behind on what's happening.” Connie was a romantic.She loved soap operas, romance novels and movies with a good love story.As we became acquainted, she confided how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman.”

“Oh, I know Bill loves me,” she said, “but he has never been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me.” She sighed and looked out the window at the trees in the courtyard.“I'd give anything if he'd say ‘I love you,' but it's just not in his nature.”

Bill visited Connie every day.In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps.Later, when she began sleeping more, he paced up and down the hallway outside her room.Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.He talked about having worked as a carpenter and how he liked to go fishing.He and Connie had no children, but they'd been enjoying retirement by traveling, until Connie got sick.Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying.One day, over coffee in the cafeteria, I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives;how we love to get sentimental1 cards and love letters.“Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked(knowing his answer), and he looked at me as if I was crazy.“I don't have to,” he said.“She knows I do!”

“I'm sure she knows,” I said, reaching over and touching his hands rough, carpenter's hands that were gripping the cup as if it were the only thing he had to hang onto “but she needs to hear it, Bill.She needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years.Please think about it.”

We walked back to Connie's room.Bill disappeared inside, and I left to visit another patient.Later, I saw Bill sitting by the bed.He was holding Connie's hand as she slept.The date was February 12.Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon.There stood Bill, leaning up against the wall in the hallway, staring at the floor.I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 A.M..When Bill saw me, he allowed himself to come into my arms for a long time.His face was wet with tears and he was trembling.Finally, he leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath.“I have to say something,” he said.“I have to say how good I feel about telling her.” He stopped to blow his nose.“I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her...and loved being married to her.You shoulda2 seen her smile!”

I went into the room to say my own good?bye to Connie.There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill.You know, the sentimental kind that says, “To my wonderful wife...I love you.”

大多數(shù)人需要聽到那“三個(gè)小字”——我愛你。有時(shí)他們就會(huì)在最需要的時(shí)候聽到。

我在康尼住進(jìn)收容所病房的那天見到了她。我在那兒當(dāng)義工。把她從輪床抬上病床時(shí)，她的丈夫比爾焦慮不安地站在旁邊。雖然康尼處于和癌癥搏斗的晚期，但她仍然神智清醒，精神愉快。我們把她安頓好。我在醫(yī)院提供給她使用的所有用品上標(biāo)上她的名字，然后問她是否需要什么。

“啊，是的，”她說，“請告訴我怎么用電視好嗎？我非常喜歡肥皂劇，想隨時(shí)跟上進(jìn)展情況?！笨的崾莻€(gè)浪漫的人。她酷愛肥皂劇、浪漫小說和講述美好愛情故事的電影。隨著我們越來越熟，她向我吐露說，跟一個(gè)經(jīng)常叫她“傻女人”的男人生活了32年有多么沮喪。

“唉，我知道比爾愛我，”她說道，“可是他從來不說他愛我，也不給我寄賀卡。”她嘆了口氣，朝窗外庭院里的樹望去。“如果他說聲‘我愛你’，我愿意付出一切，可這根本不是他的性格?！?/p>

比爾每天都來探望康尼。一開始，康尼看肥皂劇，他就坐在床旁。后來，她睡的時(shí)候多了，比爾就在屋外走廊里踱來踱去。不久，康尼不再看電視了，醒的時(shí)候也少了，我開始花更多的義工時(shí)間和比爾在一起。

他談到他一直是個(gè)木工，他多么喜歡釣魚。他和康尼沒有孩子，但他們四處旅游，享受著退休生活，直到康尼得病。對他妻子病危這一事實(shí)，比爾無法表達(dá)他的感受。

一天，在自助餐廳喝咖啡時(shí)，我設(shè)法和比爾談起女人這個(gè)話題，談到生活中我們多么需要浪漫，多想收到充滿柔情蜜意的卡片和情書。

“你跟康尼說你愛她嗎？”我明知故問。他瞧著我，就好像我有神經(jīng)病。

“我沒有必要說，”他說道。“她知道我愛她！”

“我肯定她知道，”我說。我伸出手，觸摸著他那雙木工粗糙的手。這雙手緊握著杯子，似乎它是他需要依附的惟一東西——“可是她需要聽到它，比爾。她需要聽到所有這些年來她對你意味什么。請你考慮考慮?！?/p>

我們走回康尼的房間。比爾進(jìn)了屋，我走開去看望另一個(gè)病人。后來，我看見比爾坐在床邊?？的崛胨?，他握著她的一只手。那天是2月12日。

兩天后的中午時(shí)分，我順著收容所病房過道向前走著。比爾站在那里，靠著墻，凝視著地面。護(hù)士長已經(jīng)告訴我，康尼在上午11點(diǎn)故去了。

比爾看見我后，讓我擁抱了他許久。他滿臉淚水，渾身顫抖。最后，他向后靠在墻上，深深地吸了一口氣。

“我有話非說不可，”他說道?！拔业谜f，對她說出來，感覺真是好極了?！彼Ｏ聛磉┍亲印！澳阏f的話我想了很多；今天早上我對她說我多么愛她……我多么珍惜和她結(jié)為夫妻。你真該看看她的笑容！”

我走進(jìn)康尼的房間，親自去和她告別。我看見，床頭桌上放著一張比爾給她的大大的情人節(jié)賀卡——就是那種充滿柔情蜜意的賀卡，上面寫著：“給我出色的妻子……我愛你?！?/p>

母親永遠(yuǎn)成不了父親

A Unique Job

A father's job is unique.If parents had job descriptions mine would read: organize bills, playmates, laundry, meals, laundry, carpool, laundry, snacks, outings and shopping, and laundry.The only thing on my husband's description would be the word “fun” written in big red letters along the top.Although he is a selfless caregiver and provider, our children think of him more as a combination of a jungle gym and bozo and clown.Our parenting styles compliment each other.His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to worry about washing their hands, eating vegetables, or getting cavities.My style is similar to Mussolini.I'm too busy worrying to be fun.Besides, every time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.I bought my children bubble gum flavored toothpaste and I taught them how to brush their teeth in tiny circles so they wouldn't get cavities.They thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse by spitting out water between their two front teeth like a fountain.I took the children on a walk in the woods and, after two hours, I managed to corral a slow ladybug into my son's insect cage.I was “cool” until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a beetle the size of a Chihuahua.I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I can't do.I can make sure my children are safe, warm, and dry.I'll stand in line for five hours so the children can see Santa at the mall or be first in line to see the latest Disney movie.But I can't wire the VCR so my children can watch their favorite video.I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired, tuck them into bed, and kiss them goodnight.But I can't flip them upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths flying inside of the light fixture.I can take them to doctor appointments, scout meetings, or field trips to the aquarium, but I'll never go into the wilderness, skewer a worm on a hook, reel in a fish, and cook it over an open flame on a piece of tin foil.I'll even sit in the first row of every Little League game and cheer until my throat is sore and my tonsils are raw, but I'll never teach my son how to hit a home run or slide into first base.As a mother I can do a lot of things for my children, but no matter how hard I try--I can never be their father.母親永遠(yuǎn)成不了父親

當(dāng)爸是件無人能替代的活兒。

如果為人父母有職務(wù)簡述的話，我的“職務(wù)簡述”將會(huì)包括如下內(nèi)容：管理賬單和孩子們的玩耍同伴、洗衣、做飯、洗衣、安排與人合伙用車、洗衣、準(zhǔn)備小吃、安排短途旅游、購物、洗衣。

我先生的“職務(wù)簡述”是在上端用紅色寫出的兩個(gè)大字——“樂子”。盡管他無私地給予孩子們百般關(guān)愛，盡其所能為他們提供所需，我們的孩子們更多的時(shí)候還是把他看作攀緣游戲架、大傻瓜和小丑的三合一。

我們倆為人父母的風(fēng)格是互補(bǔ)的。他的風(fēng)格是持續(xù)不斷的探險(xiǎn)，在這過程中，沒有人需要操心孩子是不是洗手了，是不是吃蔬菜了，或者會(huì)不會(huì)長蛀牙。我的風(fēng)格則類似墨索里尼的執(zhí)政風(fēng)格。我太忙了，為這操心，為那操心，哪里顧得上找什么樂子。再者，每次我試圖逗孩子們開心，我總是被我先生比下去。

我給孩子們買來帶泡泡糖香味的牙膏，教他們?nèi)绾斡醚浪⑥D(zhuǎn)圈兒刷牙以免得蛀牙。他們認(rèn)為那樣刷挺好玩，直到有一天我先生教他們?nèi)绾问凇獜膬深w門牙間把水噴出來。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這才叫好玩。

我?guī)Ш⒆觽兊叫淞掷锶ド⒉?，兩個(gè)小時(shí)后，我好不容易才逮住一個(gè)遲鈍的瓢蟲放進(jìn)我兒子的蟲籠里。在他們眼里我是夠“酷”的，直到他們的父親回家，在后院里只花了兩分鐘，便捕獲了一只有奇瓦瓦小狗那么大的甲蟲！

我勸慰自己我是個(gè)好媽媽，盡管我先生能做的事情我做不了。我可以確保我的孩子們是安全的、暖和的、干干爽爽的。我可以排隊(duì)等個(gè)小時(shí)，讓孩子們在大商場里看到圣誕老人——或者第一個(gè)排隊(duì)讓孩子們看最新的迪斯尼影片。但是我不會(huì)給錄像機(jī)接上電線，好讓孩子們看他們喜歡的錄像。

當(dāng)孩子玩累時(shí)，我可以把他們抱到床上，親吻他們，送他們進(jìn)入夢鄉(xiāng)。但是我無法讓他們頭沖下，那樣他們可以腳踏天花板漫步；或者把他們扛在我的肩膀上，讓他們看飛蛾如何在燈具里飛舞。

我可以帶他們?nèi)タ瘁t(yī)生，參加童子軍集會(huì)，或者帶他們?nèi)⒂^水族館，但是我永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)進(jìn)入荒郊野地，在魚鉤上掛上蟲餌，釣上一條魚，然后把魚用錫紙包起來在明火上烤著吃。

我甚至可以出席每一場少年棒球聯(lián)合會(huì)的比賽，坐在第一排吶喊助威，直到我的嗓子喊疼了，我的扁桃體發(fā)炎了，但是我永遠(yuǎn)無法教我的兒子如何打一個(gè)本壘打或者如何巧妙進(jìn)入一壘的位置。

作為一個(gè)母親，我可以為我的孩子們做許多事情，但是不管我怎樣努力——我永遠(yuǎn)成為不了他們的父親。

猶太女孩譜寫別樣《神曲》

Book on Divine Comedy does Dante differently

What's a nice Jewish girl from New Jersey whose first language was Yiddish doing writing a book about history's greatest Catholic poet, Dante?

Perhaps trying to convince the world that his epic poem, the Divine Comedy, is not just for Ivy League intellectuals but for the common man and woman on life's journey.Harriet Rubin's “Dante in Love,” published by Simon and Schuster, may not become required reading in the hallowed halls of Oxbridge academia.But that's just fine with her.“This book is aimed at people in hell,” said Rubin.“And how do you get out of hell if there is no exit sign anywhere? The book is aimed at people who are in some kind of quandary.People with passion.”

Quandary? Passion? Dante ate them for breakfast.Banned from returning to his beloved Florence in 1302, Dante roamed from city to city in Italy and France, from noble court to grubby back streets until he died in Ravenna in 1321.Through the exile, the wandering and the angst, he created The Divine Comedy--divided into Hell, Purgatory and Paradise--a poem many consider the greatest ever written.Rubin, the daughter of a window cleaner and housewife from New Jersey, already had experience in writing about an Italian luminary from centuries past.She is author of the highly provocative and acclaimed 1998 book “The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women,” in which she discusses how to become powerful without becoming like a man.Now she is doing Dante differently from many previous works on the poet considered to be the father of the Italian language.It is by no means a “Divine Comedy for Idiots.”

But in its own way it does take Dante off the pedestal of poetic sanctity and explain as simply as possible the immense tapestry of religion, art, architecture, cosmology, theology and history that provided the backdrop for the work.猶太女孩譜寫別樣《神曲》

一個(gè)來自新澤西、母語為依地語的猶太女孩創(chuàng)作了一本關(guān)于歷史上最偉大的天主教詩人但丁的書，不覺得她很可愛嗎？

這或許是為了向世人證明，但丁的史詩《神曲》并不僅僅是寫給長青藤聯(lián)盟的學(xué)者看的，同樣也適合跋涉在生命旅程中的普通男女。

哈里特·魯賓的《愛中的但丁》一書由西蒙和舒斯特出版集團(tuán)發(fā)行，這本書可能并不會(huì)成為牛津和劍橋大學(xué)神圣廳堂里的必讀書，但對她來說這樣已經(jīng)很好了。

魯賓說：“這本書的受眾對象是那些在苦難中掙扎的人們。如果在任何地方都找不到出口標(biāo)志，你怎樣才能脫離困境呢？這本書是專為那些陷入某種困境、卻仍懷有激情的人們而寫的?！?/p>

困境？激情？但丁拿它們當(dāng)家常便飯。

1302年，但丁被禁止回到他深愛的佛羅倫薩，于是他周游意大利和法國，從一個(gè)城市游蕩到另一個(gè)城市，從高雅的宮廷徘徊到骯臟的后街，直到1321年，他死于拉文納（意大利東北部港市）。

在流放、游蕩和痛苦中，他創(chuàng)作了《神曲》，這部被很多人視為有史以來最偉大的詩篇分為《地獄》、《煉獄》和《天堂》三部。

魯賓，一個(gè)新澤西的擦窗工人兼家庭主婦的女兒，在寫作方面已小有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，她曾寫過一本關(guān)于幾個(gè)世紀(jì)前的一位意大利大師的書。

1998年，她創(chuàng)作的《女君王論: 女人獲取權(quán)力的戰(zhàn)略、戰(zhàn)術(shù)與武器》一書出版了，這本書非常富有煽動(dòng)性、贏得了很高的評價(jià)。在書中她討論了（女人）怎樣才能變得強(qiáng)大，卻不必像男人一樣。

現(xiàn)在，她正在用一種和以往許多描寫但丁的著作不同的方式來詮釋這位被認(rèn)為是意大利語言之父的詩人。

這決不是一本“為愚人而作的神曲”。

但是，她獨(dú)有的寫作手法確實(shí)使但丁的圣潔詩歌不再那么高高在上，她盡可能用最簡單直白的方式來闡釋這部作品深厚的背景，那是宗教、藝術(shù)、建筑、宇宙哲學(xué)、神學(xué)和史學(xué)共同編織出的巨大織錦。

第二篇：高中生經(jīng)典美文摘抄

窗外，桂花暗香浮動(dòng)，梧桐疏影搖曳，宛如金秋的寒露落在盛夏的花朵上，一切看起來如此隨然。下面是小編為大家整理的高中生經(jīng)典美文摘抄，希望能夠幫助到你們。

篇一：高中生經(jīng)典美文摘抄

一程山水，一段故事。是誰在西湖冬日里留下斷橋殘雪的清幽？是誰在圓月當(dāng)空時(shí)詠起“千里共嬋娟”的夙愿？是誰在康橋的柔波中吹響了別離的笙簫？是誰在寂寥的雨巷里停滯了丁香般的倩影？斯人已不知何處，但他們留下了為世人所贊頌的美麗。閉上眼，只覺得一股清氣撲面而來，這清氣，將永遠(yuǎn)在歷史的長河中，滋潤萬物。那我們，該留下些什么呢？只希望，我們留下的，是縷縷清氣。

林語堂曾說：“人生不過如此，且行且珍惜?！蔽覀儾荒苎永m(xù)生命的長度，但我們可以增添生命的色彩。正如為祖國獻(xiàn)身的屈原，“亦余心之所善兮，雖九死其猶未悔”，他留給世人的是滿腔愛國豪情。又如看盡百態(tài)的曹雪芹，“滿紙荒唐言，一把辛酸淚。都云作者癡，誰解其中味”，他留給世間的是思索與崇敬?！拔釓]獨(dú)破受凍死亦足”，舍己為人的杜甫；走遍天下、傳授儒學(xué)的孔子，他們生命猶如春日百花綻放的花園，五光十色，絢麗奪目。他們給世界留下的，是無盡的財(cái)富。只發(fā)現(xiàn)，那幽幽清氣溢滿了整片天空。

篇二：高中生經(jīng)典美文摘抄

窗外，桂花暗香浮動(dòng)，梧桐疏影搖曳，宛如金秋的寒露落在盛夏的花朵上，一切看起來如此隨然。時(shí)光荏苒，歲月滄桑，時(shí)間如白駒過隙般從指尖匆匆流過，留下的只是倉促和茫然。身處喧囂的世界，一個(gè)人獨(dú)在幽居，即使身邊有太多的紛雜，只要在心里種菊，也會(huì)收獲一份淡然和寧靜。總喜歡獨(dú)自一人倚窗看窗外的景，桂樹依然一樹花香，梧桐樹葉泛黃凋落，滿地都是飄落的花瓣和樹葉，隨著風(fēng)兒起舞，街上依然是匆匆的行人，偶爾，遠(yuǎn)眺遠(yuǎn)處那座秀麗的山峰，依然那么巍峨氣派，看天際云卷云舒，變幻無常，閑觀眼前的花開花落，落葉歸根。收回潮水般的思緒，轉(zhuǎn)身，拿起杯盞，泡一杯香茶，把心中的紛雜擱淺；深情回憶一段往事，把遺漏的光陰拾撿；捧一本書香，閱一段文字，把深埋在時(shí)光深處的癡念繾綣。

流年不語，歲月憂傷。多少心緒曾隱藏在時(shí)光的倒影中，多少輕狂的夢想埋在時(shí)光的深處。拈一顆樸素的心，輕倚人生的轉(zhuǎn)角，看流年的風(fēng)從身邊輕輕吹過，那么無情冷酷，帶走了最美的年華，滄桑了青春的容顏，但那些昔日經(jīng)歷過和奮斗過的過往，那些被時(shí)光浸染的情愫，那些年我們?yōu)閴粝攵鵁嵫蚱吹那啻?，始終留在記憶深處，明媚了歲月，芬芳了生命。

聞一陣花香，聽微風(fēng)細(xì)語。無數(shù)心里的惆悵，像夏夜草叢中紛飛的螢火蟲，閃爍著暗淡的光芒，在時(shí)間的風(fēng)月里，搖曳成一樹花香，芬芳成一朵嫣然，唯美成一苞花蕾，在寂靜的深夜里綻放如夢。在星如棋布的夜晚，誰曾與星星對語；在花香飄溢的時(shí)節(jié)，誰曾與樹為伴，與花共舞，飲酒作詩，逍遙人生，“飲酒花樹下，詩成自兩行”是最美的境界闡釋；在人生不如意的時(shí)期，輕語“對酒當(dāng)歌，人生幾何”，舉杯與心靈淺酌。

第三篇：高中生的美文摘抄

導(dǎo)語：高中是一個(gè)非常重要的時(shí)期，也是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)，多寫作，記錄生活，都是非常有幫助的。下面是小編為你整理的高中生的美文摘抄，希望對你有幫助！

高中生美文摘抄

（一）聽人說過，判斷一個(gè)人幸福不幸福，要看天早上睜眼的那一刻，臉上是否帶著微笑。生活在這個(gè)紛繁復(fù)雜的社會(huì)，我們背負(fù)的責(zé)任來自四面八方，每一天，我們都需要堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，去對抗心靈的反叛和靈魂的疲倦。

如果可以選擇，我希望能睡到自然醒，有足夠的精力去面對日常所有的繁瑣；如果可以選擇，我希望回來，回到我活了十幾年的城鎮(zhèn)，我喜歡這里的隨意，更不會(huì)被過多地束縛。

但是，每一天我們還是需要堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，即使在睜眼的那一瞬間，心底一百個(gè)不情愿地掙扎著起床，可是我們還是得用飛一般的速度解決完洗臉?biāo)⒀?，過著打仗一樣節(jié)奏的生活。連續(xù)沒有休息的時(shí)候，拖著疲憊的身軀眼皮在打架，慵懶的精神在無聲的抗議，我只是一塊行走的肉。

塵世中沒有哪一方凈土能讓人不受到傷害。想要的生活總在前方，總是差一段距離。

也許，有時(shí)候我們該靜下心來拷問自己，這到底是怎么回事？

可是，即使有一千個(gè)理由讓我們暗淡消沉。我們也必須有一千零一次地選擇堅(jiān)強(qiáng)面對。活著，體會(huì)著生命里買一次心靈的陣痛和改變，回憶著自己的歷史，來作為現(xiàn)實(shí)的參考

當(dāng)每一天的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)成為一種習(xí)慣，也許有一天突然撤去一種壓力，我們連自己要做什么都搞不清楚，不是每個(gè)人都有足夠的定力，一直堅(jiān)持自己喜歡的事情。也許，堅(jiān)強(qiáng)已成為大眾化。

堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，一天天讓自己活得更好！

每一天的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，是我們活在這世界的支撐點(diǎn)，是我們的氧氣。

堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，其實(shí)是一種自然而然的生活狀態(tài)。

（二）青春，處處像把尖銳的刀子刮在你身上，無意間的傷的很深，無意間的傷的很淺。

青春，永遠(yuǎn)就只有一個(gè)框架，要么就是頹廢，要么就是快樂，要么就是墮落。

青春，仿佛就是春天里的花很燦爛，但也卻是像冬天里的溫室花，不好好的保護(hù)，就會(huì)變質(zhì)。美文摘抄

青春，就像一個(gè)迷路的小孩子，一不小心就會(huì)走上不歸之路。

我常常把自己的青春等于悲傷，因?yàn)樽约旱男愿瘢瑢?dǎo)致現(xiàn)在根本就人緣不怎么好。等量代換了一下，像數(shù)學(xué)公式一樣的轉(zhuǎn)變了。漸漸得自己的就認(rèn)為青春很傷，漸漸得把自己逼上了絕路。

青春仿佛就是在我手指間劃過，想抓卻怎么也留不住，它可以無情的把你給扼殺，它也可以高興的玩弄在它的手掌中。

手中的筆，不時(shí)就會(huì)幾下一筆淡淡的筆記。心中的傷，不時(shí)就會(huì)在同一個(gè)地方加深。

青春，你是這么的讓我們所有人都變絕緣體，青春，你是這么的讓我們這些青少年悲喜交加。

青春，那么傷，仿佛加了一層的迷霧，來迷惑你。

“一層迷霧，一層云，層層心底揭上瓦?！边@句話的意思是：我們的青春就是被迷霧給迷惑，在這上面還有一層薄薄的云覆蓋，至于心里到底有多少疑惑給蒙蔽，只有撥開那些，才能觸碰心底。

這句是我自己對青春而感想的詞，不知道和大家是否一樣相仿呢？

記得，看過一本書，里面說：“真正悲傷的人，是不會(huì)說出自己的悲傷，而是埋藏在心里?！蔽艺J(rèn)為也是這樣，說出自己的悲傷，或許只是把那些傷，當(dāng)做一場游戲來簡化成一個(gè)故事。

青春那么傷，它到底傷害我們多少呢？

（三）懵懵懂懂的雨，惹亂了人們的夢境，流失了往昔的燦爛。站在雨的中央，無法找到心靈的彼岸?；杌韬坪频奶炜丈希床坏津湴恋镍B，看不到安靜的月兒和星辰。昨天走過的路口，那路標(biāo)被泛濫的洪水帶到無人知曉的遠(yuǎn)方，但是大家還是能找到回家的方向。前方的橋被無情的水流融化了，連尸體也找不到了，但是大家依然要想辦法前行。無奈的大地，咬著牙在水的煎熬中承受不明不白的痛苦。世界不是晴了雨了地更替，而是雨了，繼續(xù)更加猖狂地雨了……令往日里喜歡雨的那個(gè)浪漫詩人竟然有了葉公好龍的感覺……

暴雨接著暴雨，這是入梅以來最為強(qiáng)烈的雨，新聞里把那雨當(dāng)成了每天的頭條特寫了。遠(yuǎn)山很輕易地被煙雨掩蓋了，但是遠(yuǎn)山的背后卻是故鄉(xiāng)，有我年邁的老爸老媽。這樣風(fēng)雨飄搖的日子，我有必要給故鄉(xiāng)送上一絲安慰，我總是如此想著。手機(jī)已經(jīng)撥出，故鄉(xiāng)那方的回答是：您撥打的電話無法接通。這更加增添了我對家鄉(xiāng)眷戀和掛念。是故鄉(xiāng)在煙雨中迷失了自己，還是“移動(dòng)”把故鄉(xiāng)弄丟了呢？這樣的時(shí)刻，我非但沒有讓故鄉(xiāng)得到慰藉，自己總是從想故鄉(xiāng)哪兒得到了安慰。

今夜我守在無語的庭院里，聽雨的哭訴，斯斯文文的我心情更加沉重。唉，雨呀，你真的是無理取鬧，大前天降了50多毫米，前天降了100毫米，昨天降了120毫米，今天竟然高達(dá)150毫米，截止7月3日今年累計(jì)降雨量達(dá)到1464.8毫米。死亡34人，失蹤11人，損壞房屋7032戶1.67萬間，農(nóng)作物受害面積，639.4千公頃，直接經(jīng)濟(jì)損失73.3億元。你這得寸進(jìn)尺的小人，簡直就是一潑婦，邊哭邊罵，沒理也氣壯了。強(qiáng)詞奪理的人在說理的人面前總能橫出諸多理由來。強(qiáng)詞奪理的強(qiáng)迫懂理的答應(yīng)自己的要求，法律上通不過的用道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去衡量，道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不相符的用牽強(qiáng)的人情方式去解

第四篇：值得高中生摘抄的美文

值得高中生摘抄的美文

●心有明燈，便不會(huì)迷路，便可拒絕黑暗、膽怯，擁有一份明朗的心情，一份必勝的信念，一份坦蕩的胸懷……心有小窗，便有亮麗的陽光進(jìn)來，小酌一些暖和的故事，便有自由清風(fēng)邀約一些花香或者白云。心有琴弦，縱然客去茶涼，仍有小曲緩緩響起，仍有滿樹桂花知音而化為酒香。

心有柵欄，然后青藤爬過，那些小秘密點(diǎn)綴其中，像葉片下小憩的蝴蝶，做夢一般，只能用花粉形容。心有玉階，滿階是香囊佩瑤，滿階是錦言妙計(jì)，還有玲瓏小貝和神秘念珠。于是孤獨(dú)不再降臨，花瓶不再寂寞。心有圣殿，供奉著高貴，尊嚴(yán)、善良、理想和追求……這都是些漂亮的神靈。由此，而不可侵犯；由此，而擁有世界和自己。（《心有明燈》）

●蠟燭有心，于是它能垂淚，能給人間注入粼粼的光波；楊柳有心，于是它能低首沉思，能給困倦的大地帶來蘇醒的嫩綠，百花有心，于是它們能在陽光里飄出青春深處的芳馨。（《蠟燭有心》）

●成熟是一種明亮而不耀眼的光輝，一種圓潤而不膩耳的音響，一種不需要對別人察顏觀色的從容，一種終于停止了向四周申訴求告的大氣，一種不理會(huì)哄鬧的微笑，一種洗刷了偏激的淡漠，一種無須聲張的厚實(shí)，一種并不陡峭的高度。（《成熟》）

●綠，是夏日樹陰下的那潭清泉，里面蕩漾著幾根綠油油的小草。綠，是濃妝淡抹總適宜的西湖，引得無數(shù)文人為之神魂顛倒。綠，是朱自清先生筆下的梅雨潭，成為膾炙人口的美文。（《找尋自己的綠》）毫無置疑，綠是最令人心動(dòng)的顏色。墨綠給人以淡泊寧靜；淺綠給人以舒適輕快；嫩綠則給人以生命的暢想。而綠的樂章給人的或許就是對生存、生活、生命的思考。（《綠的樂章》）

●帶著一顆快樂的心，你會(huì)處處感到快樂；帶著一顆寬厚的心，你會(huì)處處感到溫暖。人生難免碰到傷害，只要勇敢、剛強(qiáng)地面對，它就會(huì)成為難得的財(cái)富。心不設(shè)防，天寬地長。（《心不設(shè)防》）

我先給你看些我自己寫的好不好? 天高云淡，我的幸福生活。——題記

海子筆下“面朝大海，春暖花開”的生活，是一幅很美的圖畫，也是我憧憬的生活。我有一間小屋，面朝廣闊的大海。海是碧藍(lán)碧藍(lán)的，像極了天空的顏色。有時(shí)天空氤氳著，有著霧靄和流嵐；有時(shí)天空很晴朗，顯得清新自然，蒼穹下是一派春意盎然的景象。陽光輕輕地彌漫在每個(gè)角落，我可以坐在院中的躺椅上，曬著暖暖的太陽，泡上一壺茶，然后慢慢地品。一杯完了，也不愿再沏一杯。曹雪芹筆下的妙玉曾言：“一杯為品，二杯便成了解渴的蠢物?！碑?dāng)我看到茶葉在水中游動(dòng)，看到地上的小草競相生長，看到漫山遍野的花兒飄零紛飛，一種無法言喻的恬靜便會(huì)在我心頭蕩漾開來。在這淡淡柳如煙，灼灼美顏顏的景色中，對生活還有更高的要求嗎？ 我的小屋里有床，有散發(fā)淡淡木香的桌椅，有很大很大的書櫥，上面要擺滿很多很多的書??我的小屋里還有一只貓咪，我管它叫珞珞。我的小貓不是什么九命貓妖，它只有一條命，所以我會(huì)加倍愛它。我會(huì)給它喂好多好多新鮮的小魚，會(huì)給它各色的線團(tuán)讓它玩，會(huì)讓它在草地草地上笨笨地捉蝴蝶??我也會(huì)念文章給珞珞聽，也會(huì)把自己的想法、秘密告訴它。珞珞，你要允許我不把我的秘密告訴其他人，好嗎？好嗎？

第五篇：英語美文摘抄

1.Thrift

[導(dǎo)讀]本文論述了節(jié)儉這一美德的重要。文章圍繞論點(diǎn)展開，層次分明。（選取任意兩個(gè)段落背誦）

Thrift is the foundation of all greatness.It is applied not only to money matters, but to everything else in life—the wise use of one's time, ability, and energy.In short, thrift is the scientific management of one's money, of one's time, of one's affairs, and of one's self.Thrift is the best word for us.It makes fortune.It uplifts character.It improves the quality of the individual.The exercise of thrift has a very healthful reaction upon all the other faculties.The habit of thrift denotes self-control.It is a proof that a man is not a hopeless victim of his weakness.It is a proof that he is the master of himself as well as of his finances.Thrift is an educator.A thrifty man thinks and plans.He has a program.He has a certain amount of independence.If you have cultivated thrift, it means that you have the ability to control your desires and that you are developing some of the grandest human qualities—self-reliance, independence, prudence, and foresight.We know that all great nations are founded on thrift.The ancient Roman Empire degenerated and came to an end when it ceased to be thrifty.Yet thrift does not require superior courage.It needs no fervent resolution, but only a little patient self-denial.And BEGIN is its device!

Remember, my son, you have to work.Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an

auction bell or writing funny things, you must work.If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest.Don't be afraid of killing yourself with overwork.It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty.They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning.It’s the interval that kills, my son.The work gives you an appetite for your meals;it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday.There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them.It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as “old So-and-So’s boy”.Nobody likes them;the great, busy world doesn’t know that they are there.So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world.The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you.[注釋]

3.Books（選擇任意兩段背誦）

[導(dǎo)讀]塞繆爾·斯邁爾斯（Samuel Smiles）英國作家，以道德教誨的作品“自助”(Self-Help，1859)最為有名。

A man may usually be known by the books he reads, as well as by the company

for there is a companionship of books as well as of men;and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends.It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change.It is the most patient and cheerful of companions.It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress.It always receives us with the same kindness;amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book—just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third.There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union.Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author.They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn of a life, enshrining the best thoughts of which that life was capable;for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts.Thus the best books are treasuries of good words and golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our abiding companions and comforters.“They are never alone,” said Sir Philip Sidney, “that are accompanied by noble thoughts.” The good and true thought may in time of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul.It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost invariably inspire to good works.company: 陪伴 adversity: 不幸, 逆境

distress: 悲痛, 窮困

console : vt.安慰

affinity: 吸引力, 親合力

bond: 結(jié)合, 粘結(jié)

urn:壺。這一句的意思是：好書常如最精美的寶器，珍藏著人的一生思想的精華。enshrine: 銘記 abiding: adj.持久的

Sir Philip Sidney: 菲利普·悉尼爵士英國作家。

[參考譯文] 書為友

觀其友而知其人，同樣，察一個(gè)人讀些什么書就可知他的為人，只因書與人一樣，也能做人之友。無論是書還是人，我們都應(yīng)該擇其最佳者為友。

一本好書可以成為人的摯友，古往今來，恒久不變。所有朋友中，書本最為耐心而又令人愉悅。我們身處逆境灰心沮喪時(shí)，書本并不變臉拋棄我們，始終如一，友愛接納。我們年輕時(shí)，書本給我們以歡娛和陶冶；我們老邁時(shí)，又予我們以慰藉和鼓勵(lì)。

黑茲利特曾說：“書香輕拂沁心靈，詩行輕滑滲血液。青春時(shí)所讀之書，垂暮時(shí)依然會(huì)回想，仿佛就在身邊發(fā)生。書籍價(jià)廉物美，我們就在書香中呼吸。”

一本好書往往就是作者的人生結(jié)晶，里面蘊(yùn)藏著他窮其一生的求索成果。因?yàn)槿艘簧氖澜绱蠖嗑褪瞧渌枷氲氖澜?，故而最?yōu)秀的書籍也就是至理名言和輝煌思想的富藏。這些

思想若能銘記在心，就成為我們永久的朋友和永恒的慰藉。菲利普·悉尼爵士說得好：“與高尚思想為伴的人永不寂寞?！痹谖覀兪苷T惑時(shí)，美好純真的思想如同仁慈的天使，凈化衛(wèi)護(hù)著我們的靈魂，并蘊(yùn)含著我們行動(dòng)的萌芽，因?yàn)榻鹩窳佳钥偰芗?lì)我們美好的行為。

4.Jane Eyre

[導(dǎo)讀]夏洛蒂·勃朗特(Charlotte Bronte)的《簡愛》通過簡·愛的自述，描繪的是一個(gè)出身貧苦家庭，長相平凡，無依無靠的女家庭教師的曲折遭遇。簡，成為純潔、熱情、坦率、愛好真理，敢于追求幸福的女性的象征，因而形象鮮明。作品成功之處還在于作者在對人性的描述中，我們隱約看到了自己，卑劣或美麗的人性，而覺得心有戚戚焉。

‘I tell you I must go!’ I retorted, roused to something like passion.‘Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?I have as much soul as you,it is my spirit that addresses your spirit;just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal,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.三種單純而又異常強(qiáng)烈的情感控制著我的生活：對愛的渴望，對知識(shí)的渴求，還有因人類遭受痛苦而產(chǎn)生的難以忍受的憐憫。這三種情感，有如三股勁風(fēng)，卷著我到處飄零，倏忽無定，飛越深深的苦海，瀕臨絕望的邊緣。

我尋求愛，首先是因?yàn)閻勰茏屓烁械綗o比幸?！@幸福的感覺如此強(qiáng)烈，我恨不得拿我的余生去換取幾個(gè)小時(shí)的幸福感。我尋求愛的第二個(gè)原因是，愛能解除孤寂感——一旦陷入可怕的孤寂之中，靈魂顫抖著從世界的邊緣上窺視過去，卻只見那又寒又冷、深不可測、毫無生氣的深淵。我尋求愛的最后一個(gè)原因是，在愛的歡聚中，我看到圣者和詩人們在想象中所預(yù)見的天堂景象的神秘縮影。這就是我的追求，盡管對人生而言這好象有點(diǎn)兒可望不可及，但我最終還是如愿以償了。

我以絲毫不減的熱情尋求知識(shí)。我發(fā)愿要了解人心。我發(fā)愿去探究群星閃耀的秘密。我也曾努力理解畢達(dá)哥拉斯賦予數(shù)的力量，在他那里，數(shù)主宰了萬物的流變。結(jié)果我獲得了一點(diǎn)，而不是很多的知識(shí)。

愛和知識(shí)盡可能的將我引向高高的天空。但是憐憫又往往把我拽回大地。痛哭的回聲在我心中回蕩不已。饑荒中的兒童，被統(tǒng)治者蹂躪的受害者，成為子女累贅并被他們嫌棄的無助的老人，充滿孤寂、貧困和痛苦的世界，這諸多苦難成為對人類生活理想的諷刺。我渴望減輕邪惡導(dǎo)致的痛苦，但是我無能為力，就連我自己也難免其苦。

這就是我的生活。我發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣活著很有意義，倘若機(jī)會(huì)容許，我會(huì)欣然回到世上再活一次。

9.The Four Freedoms 富蘭克林

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.The first is freedom of speech and expression―everywhere in the world.The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way―everywhere in the world.The third is freedom from want―which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peace time life for its inhabitants―everywhere in the world.The forth is freedom from fear which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor--anywhere in the world.我們努力保證未來的歲月能夠安定，我們期待著將來有一個(gè)建立在四項(xiàng)人類基本自由基礎(chǔ)之上的世界

第一是在世界的一切地方，一切人都有言論與表達(dá)意見的自由。

第二是在世界的一切地方，一切人都有自由以自己的方式崇拜上帝。

第三是免于匱乏的自由。從世界范圍的意義上說就是在經(jīng)濟(jì)上達(dá)到諒解，保證世界的一切地方，每一個(gè)國家的居民都能夠過一種健康的和平生活。

第四是免于恐懼的自由。從世界范圍的意義上說就是進(jìn)行世界性的徹底裁軍，使世界上的一切地方，沒有任何一個(gè)國家有能力向任何鄰國發(fā)起侵略行動(dòng)。

10.Youth

by Samuel Ullman(選擇任意兩段背誦)

Youth is not just a stage of life;it is a state of mind.It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;it is a matter of the will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotions.It is the freshness of the deep spring of life.Youth means the predominance of courage over timidity, of adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair---these bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust.Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement of the stars and the star like things, the undoubted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what-next and the joy of the game of living.You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair.青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏偉的想象、熾熱的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進(jìn)去壓倒茍安，如此銳氣，二十后生有之，六旬男子則更多見。年年有加，并非垂老；理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹唐必至靈魂。煩憂、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺(tái)天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號(hào)，你就青春永駐，風(fēng)華常存。

11.Of Studies

by Francis Bacon 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 pruning by study;and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.讀書足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以長才。其怡情也，最見于獨(dú)處幽居之時(shí)；其傅彩也，最見于高談闊論之中；其長才也，最見于處世判事之際。練達(dá)之士雖能分別處理細(xì)事或一一判別枝節(jié)，然縱觀統(tǒng)籌，全局策劃，則舍好學(xué)深思者莫屬。讀書費(fèi)時(shí)過多易惰，文采藻飾太盛則矯，全憑條文斷事乃學(xué)究故態(tài)。讀書補(bǔ)天然之不足，經(jīng)驗(yàn)又補(bǔ)讀書之不足，蓋天生才干猶如自然花草，讀書然后知如何修剪移接，而書中所示，如不以經(jīng)驗(yàn)范之，則又大而無當(dāng)。(王佐良譯)

12.The Joy of Life

Wise men of ancient times and successful men of today have told us that labor is sweet.Its reward is not material gain but what one becomes by it.Work does much more for us than just giving us a living.The real joys of life come from doing something and doing it well.All of us hope for success, but it is illusive and hard to keep.It nearly always slips away from one like sand through the fingers, like water through a leaky pail, unless it is held tight by hard work, day by day, night by night, year in year out.Everyone who fears failure should work harder and harder with a faithful heart as long as he lasts.13.True Nobility

by Ernest Hemingway

(選取任意兩段背誦)In a calm sea every man is a pilot.But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest----it is a tangled yarn.Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns.Even death itself makes life more loving.Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.在平靜的海平面上，每個(gè)人都可以成為領(lǐng)航員。

但如果只有陽光而沒有陰影，只有歡樂而沒有痛苦，那就不是完整的人生。就拿最幸福的人來說吧——他的幸福是一團(tuán)糾結(jié)的紗線。痛苦和幸福輪番而至，讓我們悲喜交集，甚至死亡都讓人生更為可愛。人們在生命的嚴(yán)肅深刻，在悲傷與喪親的陰影下，才最接近真實(shí)的自我。

在生活和事業(yè)的各個(gè)方面，才智的功能遠(yuǎn)不如性格，頭腦的功能遠(yuǎn)不如心性，天分遠(yuǎn)不

如自制力、毅力與教養(yǎng)。

我始終認(rèn)為內(nèi)心開始過嚴(yán)肅生活的人，他外在的生活會(huì)開始變得更為簡樸。在一個(gè)奢侈浪費(fèi)的年代，但愿我能讓世人了解：人類真正的需求是多么的稀少。

不重蹈覆轍才是真正的醒悟。比別人優(yōu)秀并無任何高貴之處，真正的高貴在于超越從前的自我。

14.I have a dream（節(jié)選，選取任意三小段背誦）

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream.It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident;that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.我要對你們說，朋友們，盡管眼前存在著困難挫折，我仍然有一個(gè)夢想。它是深深扎根于 “美國夢”的一個(gè)夢想。

我有一個(gè)夢想：總有一天，這個(gè)國家將站起來，實(shí)踐民族信條的真諦：“我們認(rèn)為這些真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等?！?/p>

我有一個(gè)夢想：總有一天，在佐治亞州的紅土山陵上，昔日奴隸的孩子和昔日奴隸主的孩子，能夠情同手足地同坐一堂。

我有一個(gè)夢想：總有一天，即使在密西西比州——這個(gè)遭受不公和壓迫烈焰煎熬的沙漠州能夠改造成一個(gè)自由公正的綠洲。

我有一個(gè)夢想：，我的四個(gè)孩子總有一天能夠生活在評判他們時(shí)不看膚色而看內(nèi)在品質(zhì)的國家里。我今天有一個(gè)夢想。

我有一個(gè)夢想：總有一天亞拉巴馬州，它的州長目前口口聲聲是干預(yù)和廢除，能夠變成這樣一個(gè)局面：黑人男孩和女孩，能夠和白人的男孩和女孩攜手同行，如同兄弟姐妹。我

今天有這么一個(gè)夢想!15.City

The city as a center where ,any day in any year, there may be a fresh encounter with a new talents, a keen mind or a gifted specialist---this is essential to the life of a country.To play this role in our lives a city must have a soul---a university, a great art or music school, a cathedral or a great mosque or temple, a great laboratory or scientific center, as well as the libraries and museums and galleries that bring past and present together, a city must be a place where groups of women and men are seeking and developing the highest things they know.By Margaret Mead: World Enough 城市

城市是個(gè)中心，任何一年的任何一天，都可能在此邂逅初出茅廬的天才，敏捷的頭腦，或是有天賦的專家―――這是一個(gè)國家的生活必不可少的。在我們的生活中，要起到這個(gè)作用，一個(gè)城市必須擁有一個(gè)靈魂——一所大學(xué)，一所偉大的藝術(shù)或音樂學(xué)校，一座大教堂或清真寺或廟宇，一個(gè)大型實(shí)驗(yàn)室或科學(xué)中心，以及圖書館和博物館還有美術(shù)館，這些地方能把過去與現(xiàn)在萃集一處。三五成群的女士和男人都在探求和推進(jìn)他們懂得是至高無上的事物，一個(gè)城市必須是這樣一個(gè)所在。
